"Japan makes a ridiculous amount of RPGs," said Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe in lengthy blog postast week (translated from Japanese). "But how many Japanese-made shooters are there? The only one that comes to mind is Resident Evil, and that didn't have guns as the main focus. I decided that Palworld would be a shooter at the very beginning of the project because those are the most popular games globally."
“日本制作了大量的RPG游戏。
但有多少射击游戏是日本制作的呢?
我脑海中唯一想到的是《恶灵古堡》,
但又并非枪械为主要焦点。
我在专案一开始就决定,Palworld将成为射击游戏,
因为这是全球最受欢迎的游戏类型。”
There are other Japanese-developed shooters out there—you could count Splatoon and the Earth Defense Force games, for example—but it's certainly not the most popular genre to develop in Japan, and Mizobe said it wasn't easy to find a developer with experience in the genre.
虽然还有其他由日本开发的射击游戏,
例如《Splatoon》和《地球防卫军》系列,
但这绝对不是日本最受欢迎的开发类型,CEO表示,要找到有这方面经验的开发者并不容易。
"We wanted someone experienced in FPS/TPS game production. If we couldn't find someone in Japan, we'd have no choice but to hire someone from abroad—but none of us are fluent in English, which would make things tough."
“我们希望找到在第一人称射击,
或第三人称射击游戏制作方面有经验的人。
如果在日本找不到,我们将不得不聘请外国人,
但我们中没有人能流利地讲英语,
这会让事情变得很困难。”
A miracle occurred when, while browsing Twitter, Mizobe stumbled upon an anonymous account filled with gun-reloading animations (see the video below for an example). After exchanging messages, it was revealed that the mystery artist was a 20-year-old part-time convenience store employee from Hokkaido with a middle school diploma and zero industry experience
然而奇蹟发生了。
在Twitter上浏览时,他们偶然发现了一个匿名帐号,
发布了一堆枪械重新装填的动画。
在交换联络方式后,才揭露这位神秘制造者,
是一名来自北海道,20岁的超商兼职店员,
他只有国中学历,且完全没有游戏制作经验经验。
The artist had taught himself how to animate entirely by watchingouTubeideos. He had also become near-fluent in English by playing FPS games, according to Mizobe.
"Sure, the team could have learned how to do these animations given time. But I wanted someone working on Palworld to be obsessed with guns. I'm so glad that I met him."
这位制作者完全是透过观看YouTube自学动画制作的。
根据CEO的说法,
他还通过玩第一人称射击游戏,学会了十分流利的英语。
“当然,制作团队也可以花时间学会这些动画技能。
但我想让Palworld制作枪械的成员,对枪械领域充满热情。
很高兴能够遇到他。”
