Almighty Game Designer Chapter 202: How to do it

On the other end of the phone, Xu Xiaojun hung up the phone a little helplessly.

In the conference room, Lin Zhaoxu asked: "He refused?"

Xu Xiaojun nodded: "Yes, and more determined."

Lin Zhaoxu was not very surprised: "It was unexpected. An ambitious designer like him will definitely not hand over the game."

In the conference room, Lin Zhaoxu, Xu Xiaojun and several designers from the Emperor's Interactive Entertainment have a meeting, and Yan Zhenyuan is also there.

"I think Chen Mo should attach great importance to the world view of "Diablo". He should consider making this world view a classic of the same level as "Warcraft"." Yan Zhenyuan said.

Lin Zhaoxu leaned back in his chair: "In this case, the idea of ​​cooperating with Chen Mo is invalid. Think about plan B."

Yan Zhenyuan smiled: "What else is the B plan, it can only be all original."

Lin Zhaoxu looked at him: "Are you sure?"

Yan Zhenyuan thought for a while: "Seven percent."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Yes, 70% is enough. Chen Mo is still not capable of making games like "Diablo" into VR. On the Zen side, even if they start with us at the same time, they won't occupy it. What advantage."

Yan Zhenyuan said: "As long as Chen Mo doesn't mess up, everything is fine. Although he is only an A-level designer now, he is very evil. He can always find all kinds of incredible angles and make some things that seem to be cold. The type of game is for fun."

Lin Zhaoxu smiled: "Old Yan, why are you afraid of him too?"

Yan Zhenyuan shook his head: "I'm not afraid. I'm not Qin Xiao's second stupid. I still have to show respect to such a talented designer."

"Especially designers who can create a certain genre often have their own understanding of this genre. If they rashly copy it, it is easy to be beaten."

Lin Chaoxu asked: "Then, do you know how to do this game?"

Yan Zhenyuan thought for a while: "Actually, "Diablo" has inspired us that the current domestic games are seriously lacking, especially in the RPG field. Very few "Dark" can bring players the ultimate killing pleasure. Game, this is a blank market."

"If we want to develop similar games, there are actually only two ways."

"The first is to do the PC side, but limited by the form of expression, it can only be made into a third-person perspective, so no matter what we do, this game will become a "copy" "Diablo" game ."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Indeed, this road will not work."

Yan Zhenyuan continued: "So our best choice is to do VR. Try to make such a refreshing game in VR games."

"It should be good to think about it. VR will not be limited by the field of view. At the same time, it has a stronger ability to create a horrible atmosphere. If it can really make the essence of "Dark", it should be a big seller."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "So, how do you think about the charging model? Is it a stand-alone buyout or an Internet connection?"

Yan Zhenyuan considered for a while and said: "The risk of a stand-alone buyout is very high. "Diablo" has a unique set of values ​​and equipment mechanisms inside. Its later gameplay is actually only repeated monster spawning. Can it be successfully transplanted to VR? , It’s hard to say."

"The networking mode is relatively safer, but for this kind of game where brushing is the main fun, the maximum number of players in the team must not be higher than five people, otherwise it will be in groups and the atmosphere will be destroyed."

"So what I consider is to continue the essence of "Diablo" and allow single-player mode or up to five people to fight in teams. In addition, in towns, players are allowed to socialize and trade freely. The equipment system is the player’s long-term pursuit."

Lin Chaoxu nodded: "Well, I think so too. Well, in that case, this matter is left to you. Resources will give priority to this project. You can do it without worrying too much. "

Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Okay, I understand."

……

At present, Qiujiang is also responsible for "Moon God's Oracle" and Qin Xiao is responsible for "Wolf Soul" within the emperor's mutual entertainment. Both of these games are the fist products of the emperor's mutual entertainment. Open time.

The VR game developed by Yan Zhenyuan has already begun to enter a stable period, and it will start to go downhill. So Lin Chaoxu considered and took this opportunity to extract Yan Zhenyuan to develop a new VR game project.

It just so happened that "Diablo" gave them some inspiration.

Of course, changing the third-person perspective of "Diablo" on the PC side to a VR game is a very difficult task, and it is no different from remaking a new game.

So Lin Chaoxu was the first to consider whether Chen Mo and Yan Zhenyuan could be allowed to cooperate. This would be equivalent to a strong alliance, and the risk would be minimized. Although the probability of Chen Mo agreeing is very small, it is worth asking.

As a result, Chen Mo refused as expected.

So, Lin Chaoxu can only pin this matter entirely on Yan Zhenyuan.

In fact, in terms of Yan Zhenyuan's ability, Lin Chaoxu is absolutely relieved.

Among Lin Zhaoxu’s most respected S-level designers, Qin Xiao is somewhat arbitrary, but has strong execution ability; Qiujiang has the most active thinking and has many good ideas; and Yan Zhenyuan has a very balanced ability in all aspects, and he has made a game. In the worst case, you can make a small profit, and you will never experience major failures.

So, for this project, Lin Zhaoxu still thinks it is most appropriate to give it to Yan Zhenyuan~IndoMTL.com~in the experience store.

Chen Mo was thinking about something and received a message.

Qiujiang: "Lao Yan seems to be making a "Dark" game on the VR platform recently. Please pay attention."

Chen Mo was a little dazed. He read this information twice. That's right, Qiujiang sent it.

What does this mean, leaking secrets?

Chen Mo replied: "Which end are you from?"

Qiujiang: "It's not either. In fact, I remind you that the main reason is to prepare you. Don't be ignorant when the time comes. It's boring to let Lao Yan fight to find teeth."

Chen Mo: "Co-authoring you just want to see us pinch each other? What's wrong."

Qiujiang: "The nature of the people who eat melon, can't it?"

Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly: "Actually, I knew it when Xu Xiaojun called me before. Your emperor must think this game is good again and want to copy one. If you don't say it, I know it in my heart."

Qiujiang: "Okay, anyway, I reminded you, how do you like to play, don't get down on the ground by Old Yan. How can he develop this game for a year, come on, I am optimistic about you Ah."

Chen Mo put away his phone, a little speechless, this Qiujiang can really make trouble!

However, Qiujiang’s information is not completely useless. At least one point is revealed. It will take at least one year for Yan Zhenyuan to develop this VR game, which means it will not be available for testing until August next year.

What can Chen Mo do?

Make a VR game in one year, and it will be online at the same time as Yan Zhenyuan's game?

It's a bit unrealistic. After all, this time is too short. Chen Mo still has no experience in VR game development.

Moreover, Chen Mo has already set a follow-up development plan, and it should not be changed randomly.

"Think about it, what should I do?"
