Almighty Game Designer Chapter 146: Pre-heating
Lin Xue's computer screen.
【Beggar】
"After fighting against the defeat of the Dragon Cult, you were seriously injured and you were in a coma for several months before waking up."
"When I woke up, it looked like a world away. The Dragon King had already conquered the Central Plains martial arts and became the overlord of the martial arts."
"And all of your martial arts have been abolished, and you have become a complete waste. The decent people are either imprisoned or ruthlessly killed, the world is turbulent, and everyone is in danger."
"You finally managed to escape from the Dragon King's hunt, but since then, you have been living down, poverty and helpless, begging everywhere, you will live your whole life..."
The picture is a beggar with yellow face and thin skin, crouching in the corner of the wall, his eyes seem to be full of unwillingness.
"Ah! What the hell! What the **** is this game!"
Lin Xue was so angry that she scratched her hair.
She has played this game for three days, but she lost in a key battle, and the ending screen pops up directly.
The protagonist becomes a beggar...
Like other games, after you die, there will be an interface that says “Hold your heroes harder” or “Victory or defeat is commonplace”, and then you can read the file and start again. As a result, the game directly gives the gameover interface to Made an ending, which greatly strengthened the player's sense of substitution.
Snow Lin is about to collapse. Before the Demon Cult invaded, the protagonist was ordered by the master to convene the Shaolin, Wudang, and the Beggar Gang to jointly fight against the Demon Cult. As a result, the three major factions have not been assembled yet, Lin The snow was planted. As for the martial arts conference, the leader of the league, and the crusade against the demon sect, I didn't even see it!
Lin Xue felt that she had suffered 10,000 points of damage. After three days of fighting, she had such a tragic ending. This is unbearable for someone like Lin Xue who claims to be a senior single player!
At this time, a voice behind Lin Xue said: "Tsk tusk, the beggar ends."
Lin Xue turned her head to see, isn't this Chen Mo?
didn't know when Chen Mo appeared behind her, with a meaningful smile on her face.
Xue Lin stood up: "Ah! Are you not Chen Mo! I have been waiting for you for several days, why didn't you show up?"
Chen Mo was taken aback: "What the hell, although I often go out these days, I spend most of my time in the experience store. Is it because you play games so attentively that you didn't notice me?"
Xue Lin was taken aback: "Uh...it seems, right?"
She was taken aback for a moment, and said to Chen Mo: "Hurry up, give me a guide! This game is so difficult, it makes my head big!"
Chen Mo said: "What strategy do you want? Isn't the fun of the game just thinking about it by yourself? Add some oil, I am optimistic about you."
Chen Mo finished speaking and turned away.
Lin Xue alone is left sulking here.
On the barrage of , water friends swiped their screens.
"Fuck, I really caught Chen Mo!"
"He is so owed! Still owed as always! Axue, beat him for me!"
"Add some oil? Such a non-mainstream?"
"I feel that he deliberately increased the difficulty of the game so much! Ah, this vinegar!"
"Axue, don't be angry, come on, you can definitely do it!"
"It's really Chen Mo's consistent style. Note the solitary life 2333"
Lin Xue stared at Chen Mo's back with some dissatisfaction, then sat down and restarted the game.
……
Day by day, and the deadline is approaching, all major game companies are making serious preparations.
Soon, some game intelligence came out.
Originally, the attention of martial arts and fairy tales was not so high in the country, but after all, this is also a major event in the game circle, so the players are all looking at the mentality of eating melons.
The most watched game is the new Zen inter-entertainment game "Yu Jian Wen Qing". Now there are many demo screens and original scenes that have been exposed, and players are looking forward to it.
"Yu Jian Wen Qing" is a stand-alone fairy-xia game, and its world view is related to "Yu Jian Legend", so it is also to rub your own IP.
There is no need to say in terms of art. The scene is beautiful and the accuracy of the character model is also very high, basically at the top level.
In terms of combat, "The War of the Sword" is turn-based, and the combat system is also very rich, including all kinds of magic weapons, magic weapons, spirit beasts and so on.
In fact, from a technical level, this game can be made into a real-time battle, but Yao Yu has considered it for a long time and decided to make it turn-based.
For online games, real-time combat is the mainstream mode, because the battle changes rapidly. If it is a turn-based system, each player will have a long time to think, and the rhythm of the entire game will be slowed down. , The vast majority of players can't wait.
But for stand-alone games, the turn-based system is good. Players don’t have to worry about playing so much, they can think about and formulate battle strategies slowly. At the same time, for designers, it’s important to set monsters, level difficulty, and battle systems. , Game rhythm and other aspects are easier to control.
Like Chen Mo’s previous domestically produced single-player games, real-time battles were available as early as the "Swordsman Love" period, but the problem is that a large part of the players of this type of game are female players and handicapped players. In other words, the main fun of this kind of stand-alone game is to explore, collect, develop, and solve puzzles. The refreshing feeling of battle is not particularly important. Therefore, subsequent domestic single-player games, such as the "Sword and Sword" series, have adopted the turn-based system in consideration of investment and return.
And, this is mainly to take care of the preferences of the judges.
For Chen Mo, real-time combat is not impossible, but in terms of the game characteristics of "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes", changing the real-time combat means a major change in the entire combat system, and the skill filter and attack effect Waiting for a comprehensive reform means that the workload has doubled, and the judges may not like it. It is a thankless thing.
If there is a large-scale role-playing martial arts game in the future, it is more appropriate to do a large-scale real-time battle.
Therefore, both Chen Mo and Yao Yu agree on this point and adopt a turn-based combat method.
The main gimmick of "The War of the Sword" this time is still in the plot. This time the game plot is written by one of the main creators of the "Legend of the Sword" and the plot designer Yao Yu himself. This script has also been repeated Modified many times, it is the main selling point of the game.
Although this game is mainly for the judges, the feedback of the players is also one of the considerations of the judges.
Therefore, the promotion of Zen Mutual Entertainment is simply terrible. Various game media, various website advertising spaces, Weibo, and major player forums can be seen almost everywhere in the promotional materials of "Yu Jian Wen Qing".
Even in some Q&A communities, "How to evaluate the new Zen interactive entertainment game "Yu Jian Wen Qing"" was also topped. Several long-arranged answers quickly gained seven to eight thousand approvals .
players are also discussing.
"It’s nothing more than Zen inter-entertainment? Can I see the promotional poster of "Yu Jian Wen Qing" on the subway?"
"For this first prize, I really did not hesitate to pay for it!"
"Yao Yu personally performed the knife, this story is definitely not bad!"
"My circle of friends is so screened by this game, I am convinced."
"Don’t Chen Mo also do it? What about his new game? Why is there nothing?"
"Yeah, didn’t you say that Chen Mo also wanted to make a Chinese-style stand-alone game? Why didn’t you see any promotion at all?"
"Chen Mo has never been willing to spend too much money on promotion, you don't know it!"
"Then how can this interact with Zen! Good wine is also afraid of the deep alley!"
"Hey~IndoMTL.com~Maybe Chen Mo has confidence in his own game. But I really feel he is going to plant this time!"
The people who eat melons have speculated that this time the Zen mutual entertainment is not hesitating to spend money, it should be to win the first prize. After all, Zen Mutual Entertainment has the deepest accumulation in the theme of Xianxia, and considering the tastes of the judges, it is basically difficult for other games to compete with them.
At this point, a Weibo caused an uproar.
Chen Mo: "The theme song "The Sword Like a Dream" of the new game "The Legend of Martial Arts" is the first to listen to it. I won't tell you that Zhou Yifeng sang it."
There is a link below the Weibo, you can listen to it directly.
As soon as this Weibo was posted, the onlookers were shocked. What is it? Zhou Yifeng?
That's a first-line singer, top singing skills!
In fact, a part of the video of Chen Mo’s new game "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes" has already been streamed. After Lin Xue has been broadcasting for so long, many Lin Xue audiences have already seen the game content.
But Xue Lin has only a large audience. The vast majority of players still don’t know what kind of game "The Legend of Martial Arts" is. They just heard that it is a martial arts game.
Many people think that Chen Mo's making this game is like other game companies. It is nothing more than just making it for the judges of the game committee. He will not do it too seriously, so he does not pay much attention.
As soon as this Weibo was posted, the players found out that Chen Mo was really paying for it!
Before, the players who insisted that Chen Mo would not spend too much money on promotion were immediately beaten in the face. Isn't that spending too much money?
Ask Zhou Yifeng to sing the theme song, which is much more expensive than advertising!
is too good!
