"Take, are you saying that you want to use movie special effects to depict so ga plots in the future? But wouldn't this create too much of a contrast with the gaplay visuals of the ga itself? Wouldn't it easily give players a sense of discontinuity?"
Listening to Takayuki's complete explanation, Aya Tsukino also raised her doubts.
So far, Takayuki had only been optimistic about this field of special effects.
And now, most of the added cutscene animations in the ga were still similar to 2D animations like cartoons.
Such animations would blend more easily with the ga itself.
If an excellent special effect cutscene were forcibly added, it might still feel sowhat discordant.
Takayuki smiled and said, "I'm not preparing for the current gas; I'm preparing for the future gas. By the way, you should have seen the Final Fantasy 7 project plan I posted on the company's internal network, right?"
Aya Tsukino recalled and nodded, "Yes, I've seen it. Are you planning to use special effects in this generation of gas?"
"Exactly. My idea is to use updated and more advanced technology in 3D gas. Excellent special effects animations are essential. As for 2D gas, of course, we'll continue to use 2D animations."
Aya Tsukino nodded. She seed to have a rough idea of what the situation would be like.
The Final Fantasy 7 project plan posted on the internal network was the most extensive project plan Takayuki had planned to date.
From the estimated number of participants, which could reach as many as three hundred people, requiring at least three ga developnt teams to collaborate.
Then there were so repetitive tasks that needed to be outsourced to save ti.
And there were also over ten people needed for music production, and so on...
In almost every aspect, Takayuki had pushed the limits of what could be imagined.
So far, most companies' ga developnt projects had been maintained at under a hundred people. No one had thought about large-scale ga developnt projects yet, but Takayuki was planning to be the one to try it.
He was telling those companies with the intention and money to make gas.
If you want a big production similar to a movie and want to make big money? No problem. Electronic gas can also fulfill your wishes. So please join us and let's explore the field of electronic gas together.
In the Final Fantasy 7 developnt plan, there was also a special effects team. Takayuki's requirent was that everyone be mobilized, and the special effects team in the US would assist in producing Final Fantasy 7 at full capacity.
A developnt budget of two hundred million dollars had been prepared, which was the entire developnt budget for the ga, including promotional costs.
Two developnt teams had already begun preparations, waiting for other staff to join gradually, and then ga developnt would begin in earnest.
Previously, all the ga developnt by Gastar Entertainnt could be considered aiming high with a small-scale approach.
Because of Takayuki's highly visionary mind, ga developnt could save a lot of ti and avoid many detours. Takayuki knew how to do things best and wouldn't run into any major troubles.
But this ti, it seed he really wanted to make a big move. Two hundred million dollars, which was almost a fifth of Gastar Entertainnt's current reserve funds, all invested in one ga, was a bit like gambling.
Two hundred million dollars was more than the cost of the original Final Fantasy 7 in the previous world, and Takayuki's ambition was to truly create a ga close to Final Fantasy 7 or even of a higher level, letting this world truly see the charm of gas.
For this reason, Takayuki even deliberately raised the performance of the GS1 ga console to a higher level.
This ti, the ga console itself probably wouldn't make much money. It wouldn't be able to double its sales like before, but as long as the ga kept making money, it would be profitable. After all, the ga console was just a platform. In the future, ga console companies would need to sell consoles at a loss to so extent to expand their user base, allowing more people to spend money on gas.
Aya Tsukino obviously still couldn't understand why Takayuki suddenly wanted to invest so much in labor costs.
According to the current state of ga developnt, it was still entirely possible to continue making gas with a small investnt in the hope of big returns. But from the players' perspective, being able to play better gas would definitely be better.
"Alright, during this ti, you can also help out. That film company has requested us to produce a one-minute sample clip within three days to see how our results turn out. If the effect is really good, they'll use our technology and provide data for our future ga special effects."
Takayuki clapped his hands, prompting other employees to start working as well.
Everyone imdiately entered work mode, and Aya Tsukino temporarily put aside her new idea in her mind and started working on the one-minute film special effects with Takayuki.
Three days later, in a temporary studio about eight or nine kiloters away from Takayuki's office, so mbers of the film crew were idly chatting.
They had just finished a day of shooting.
"Infinite Star Sea" was an ambitious project for their film company, aiming to enter the upper echelons of the film industry through this series of films.
But the awkward part was the lack of money.
Fortunately, a new company willing to produce special effects at a lower price suddenly appeared. They decided to let the other party make a one-minute pilot clip first to see the effect. If it didn't work out, they would consider borrowing money to find a better company for special effects.
The assistant director said, "Do you think the special effects produced by that new company will reach what level?"
The director shook his head, "I don't think so. We all know now that special effects are costly. If they're willing to do special effects at such a low price, how good could they be?"
"But I heard that it's a very famous ga company. Their senior managent assures us that they can produce qualified special effects."
The director said helplessly, "Those senior managent aren't professionals. They just think about saving money. This is a complete waste of ti. I'm actually worried whether they can finish a one-minute special effect within three days. If they can't, it's just an excuse to refuse their cooperation."
Just then, a crew mber rushed over.
"Director, there's a car outside. They claim to be from Gastar Special Effects Studio."
"Hmm?" The director was stunned.
They're here just as he finished saying that?
They've actually produced special effects within three days. This efficiency is not bad, but whether it can et the standards is another question.
"Let's go see."
Since the other party had arrived, the director naturally needed to greet them. Basic courtesy still needed to be observed.
