With the EA test of "Hades 2", the domestic 3A game "Black Myth: Wukong" has become the most anticipated game on the current Steam wishlist. Since the first actual machine demonstration video was exposed on August 20, 2020, countless netizens at home and abroad have changed their "road to fan" for this game.
The vast majority of people have been quietly waiting for the release of the game for the past four years. However, there are also a very small number of fans, from fans of "Black Myth: Wukong", to further become game developers. The UP master of station B, who has been in the game science team for two years, recently shared his story.
Oh oh Ka is not the kind of well-known big UP master, in his personal signature, he mentioned that he was "interested in casting videos". So far, he has only contributed a total of 14 videos, most of which are FPS games. Only in November 2022, he made an animated short film of "Black Myth: Wukong".
This video finally received 36w views, which involved elements such as Monkey King, Little White Dragon, and Golden Hoop Stick, which have a lot in common with the new real-world video released by Game Science that year. What's even more commendable is that this animated short film is made in a "one-shot to the end" method, which makes the whole fight more textured.
After completing the production of this animated video, he took the work to the GGAC Global Game Art Concept Competition. As a result, a few days later, the teacher on GGAC's side contacted Oh Oh Ka and said that Mei Yangqi, the master of game science, wanted to get to know him.
It turned out that the staff of the game science team first saw the video on the Internet and thought it was good, so they posted it to the company group. Yang Qi himself is also very interested, which leads to the matter of recruiting Oh Oh Ka into the group later. And after joining Game Science, Oh Oh Ka's Bilibili account has not been updated for two years, and it was not until January this year that a new video was released.
And there are not a few folk creators in the industry like Oh Oh Ka who have been "recruited" because of the outstanding performance of their self-made works. In 2015, InvaderGames, an Italian game studio that was planning to remake Resident Evil 2, was absorbed by Capcom. When Resident Evil 2: Remake was officially launched in 2019, there was a shadow of InvaderGames in it.
In addition, B Company and R Star have also recruited some private mod developers and private server teams in recent years. For creative talents that are conducive to game development, game manufacturers are not hesitant to expand their teams.
Currently, there are 3 months left before the official release of "Black Myth: Wukong". At that time, I also hope that the game science team can hand in a perfect answer for the players who have been waiting for 4 years.
