The unveiling of a new video ga is always a positive thing for a company. However, the challenge is that the market space is often limited, and Electronic Arts has a limited budget. Creating a ga requires hard and constant work.
First, there's comprehensive ga planning and defining its purpose. But don't rush it, as this initial plan can be adjusted and changed during work. The ga implentation requires special programming code specific to that ga, as well as solving technical issues, optimizing performance, and ensuring the ga functions correctly on different platforms and devices.
This encompasses the ga's material content. Next cos the art and graphic design of the ga, including graphics, animations, visual effects, and sound design. These elents are crucial for creating a visually appealing and imrsive experience. Producing high-quality art and sound design can take a lot of ti and expertise.
Finally, the ga goes through testing on various platforms. It's an exhaustive process of identifying errors and addressing gaplay issues to ensure an enjoyable gaming experience.
Initially, people may not fully grasp the complexity of weaving all these components together for ga creation. But that's a summary of everything involved, which can take months of hard work and, in so cases, years.
From music to visual effects, gaplay, story developnt, and human resources tools, these elents contribute to engaging players in extraordinary stories. It's almost an art that few can comprehend. Since the Atari fiasco in the United States, the gaming industry has been dominated by foreign communities that have taken over the market, with Sega, Nintendo, and Capcom being among the reigning kings. This is where Microsoft's competition with the Xbox Series X arises.
-Good morning, we have a eting with Mr. Will Wright, - Thomas said.
-Ah, yes, Mr. Wright is expecting you today. Please wait a mont, - the receptionist at the entrance said.
No, this is not the Electronic Arts that you know from the 2010s, but it is a company with great potential. Can Electronic Arts and Nintendo work together? The answer is yes. In 1993, they initiated what people will now recognize as FIFA, one of the best-selling gas known for its annual innovation, which was initially known as "FIFA International Soccer."
Will Wright is a doctor with oval glasses and blond hair. He is dressed casually in an 80s style, notable for his black leather belt and shirt tucked into his pants.
-Good morning, gentlen, - politely greeted Will as he shook hands briefly.
-Good morning, Mr. Wright, - Thomas said.
Hey, will! It's a pleasure! - expressed Billy less formally because soone like Will, who has dedicated themselves to an entertainnt industry that doesn't have clear returns in this decade, might face bankruptcy due to a bad season. These are the kind of people who value other universal standards such as passion, creativity, and understanding. They are undoubtedly more appreciated by these entrepreneurs, where formality is learned over the years.
- Ah, pleased to et you. Please co to my small conference room, - said Mr. Will, leading them into what seed to be the company's coffee lounge.
-Do you want sothing to drink? - he asked.
-Coffee would be great, - Thomas said with a smile.
-What do you have? - Billy asked.
-We have coffee, water, and herbal tea, - said Mr. Will.
-Mint, peppermint, and passion fruit flavors, - he added.
-Passion fruit, - Billy responded.
-Well, I received a fax five days ago, and I was surprised that the new sensation contacted Electronic Arts, - said Will.
-As you can see, I'm a sports fan, and I faithfully follow the Slam Dunk series. I find it quite intriguing, - he continued.
-It's a pleasure to know that you're a fan of Slam Dunk, Mr. Wright. We'll send you a small gift box with the company's new trading cards that will be released next month, - diplomatically said Thomas.
-I'm eagerly looking forward to it! Now, tell , what brings you to this secluded place in San Mateo, California? - he asked while stirring his coffee.
-We hope to collaborate with Electronic Arts to bring one of our works into the world of video gas, - Billy said.
-Of course! What kind of ga are we talking about? - Mr. Wright asked.
-My son Billy is the official creator of the comics, and he handles the creative part. So, Billy, - Thomas said.
-I want to bring the Samurai Jack or Hellboy series to Electronic Arts. I would like the style to be in a 2D platform like gaman but with so differences, - Billy explained.
>>Sir, would you like to consider an open-world design, a 2D maze ga where the protagonist embarks on quests, exploring hidden levels, and as they navigate the maze, they gain abilities, objects, and clues to complete the ga? – Billy said.
-Imagine, Mr. Wright, a ga with multiple endings. By incorporating different endings, we would be fostering a new type of gaming community, combining the designs from my comics with the brilliance of Electronic Arts to create an exciting ga with many unexplored nuances for players, - Billy exclaid cheerfully.
-Wait, let call soone. Hold on to that idea, give a few minutes, - Will said, rushing out of the improvised boardroom to make a call.
After a few minutes, footsteps could be heard, and four individuals entered the room. There was a small, hunched figure wearing glasses nad Alan, a gifted coder and master of skills. There was also a bald man in his forties nad Paul Lopez, seemingly the graphic designer of the company, and Richard Garriot, a co-collaborator with Will Wright in ga creation and planning.
-Now I believe I can confidently say whether your project is viable for this company, - Will said. - This is Billy, the creator of the series that recently appeared on the shelves under Dark Horse Comics. He wants to bring one of the series into video gas."
-Which series, exactly? - Alan asked, taking a sip from his Coca-Cola.
-Samurai Jack and Hellboy, - Billy replied.
-Wow, that's interesting, - Alan said, showing his intrigue.
-Do you know anything about them, Alan? - Paul asked.
-Well, they were released in July, and they have interesting content. There are four of them, and I have three, but it's fascinating - Alan explained.
Will observed the enthusiastic discussion among the team and couldn't help but feel excited. This team is filled with passionate practitioners who love what they do and infuse their work at Electronic Arts with spirit.
-Well, young Billy, you can start from scratch once again. Here, we have a team that is eager to hear your idea, - Will Wright said with a stronger and more confident voice than fifteen minutes ago, radiating energy that everyone in the room could feel. Even Mr. Carsen's posture beca a bit more tangled.
- I want to create a 2D ga with an open-world concept, utilizing a hidden maze with multiple primary and secondary background stories. Through a unique map with various environnts, players will undertake different main missions. As they explore the maze, they will gain special abilities such as a special attack, weapon upgrades, important items, and clues to complete the ga. -
>>Using a style like ga Man and troid, the ga's mobility will help players acclimate to the gaplay with designs reminiscent of various gas. However, I will incorporate my design and art for the ga. I already have the story developed aesthetically, and I have so ideas for bosses to be encountered in each different maze environnt. - Billy said.
>>We can use dungeons to unlock secondary achievents, which would make the ga more extensive or longer. Additionally, involving readers with panels and intervals like an animated series can enhance the content, - explained Billy.
-That's a magnificent story, the way you've described it. But I'd like to know so details about the maze's planning, - Alan asked. - What kind of design are you envisioning? Because in terms of bits, we couldn't create a maze with a lot of detail that would take up 256 Kb of space. Although dividing it would be more feasible, a long maze would require more space for maintenance and code design. -
-But if we organize three well-designed mazes, it could provide us with a longer gaplay ti. If we duplicate the code... - Alan suggested.
I stopped understanding the conversation after a certain point. Alan was nearly the code producer, and if he gave the green light, it ant the ga was feasible.
-Now, what about the character selection? - Paul Lopez asked.
Well, that's a decision we can make together. For Samurai Jack, we can have different maze environnts in different countries. We could have mazes at sea, similar to Mario Bros, and in Egypt, featuring dunes and the Great Wall of China.
- For Hellboy, I was thinking of having the first part of the ga set in Hell, and the second part during a post-World War II type of holocaust as a rcenary for the United States,- replied Billy.
- We could start with the ga. However, have you discussed any investnt for the ga's production? - Will asked after having a brief tacit conversation with his supporters.
-We could invest $100,000 for the ga's production, and we'll provide the licensing rights for Hellboy or Samurai Jack for free. Billy will assist in developing the graphic materials, and we will handle the marketing through Dark Horse Comics and another dia outlet, which will be duly notified. Our fanbase currently consists of 60,000 people in the United States as of October, - said Thomas.
-$100,000, advertising, and licensing for the ga's creation...- Will repeated.
-What about future installnts? - Will inquired.
-We would remain open to negotiation as long as we can invest and have a share of the profits,- Thomas replied.
-Well, we like your idea. Gentlen, we'll discuss it with our entire team and will notify you in the coming weeks, - said Will.
-It's a pleasure, and we hope everything goes well, - Thomas said.
The farewell was swift, and the hot day didn't help ease the post-stress of such a competitive negotiation with Electronic Arts. Billy slept the entire way back to San Jose. The waiting ti of a few weeks felt like a punch to the stomach.
