Almighty Game Designer Chapter 559: A more perfect “Dark Soul”!

Chen Mo nodded: "Although it has not been fully decided yet...but it may be in the form of previous transmissions."

Denise is very excited, obviously this is the most valuable news she has unearthed this time.

"Then, may I tell you anything about the prequel to "Dark Souls"?"

Chen Mo said: "Well... the background of the story has been finalized, but we can't reveal too much now, only that this is a story that is far earlier than the time setting of "Dark Soul" itself."

Denise asked: "It is far earlier than the time setting...How early is it? Will you tell us about the beginning of the "Dark Souls" world?"

Chen Mo said: "Well, in this plot, players will be exposed to many early characters in "Dark Soul", including the sun king Ge Wen who established the Age of Fire."

"In fact, the research and development plan for this game has been set long ago, and it will not take too long, because the overall engine is based on the current engine, and it just needs to add some scenes."

Denise became more excited as she listened: "Really? So is it sold separately or in the form of DLC?"

Chen Mo said: "It is sold separately, but this time it is expected that there will be two different versions, including the VR version and the handheld version."

Denise froze for a moment: "Handheld version?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes. Regarding this handheld, it's actually only on sale in China. If you are interested, I can give you one or bring back tgn to have a look. The handheld will be sold abroad."

Chen Mo stood up as he said, took a brand new switch from the side and gave it to Denise.

"This is a brand new handheld? Oh, I have a little impression, but this handheld doesn't seem to be on sale in Europe or America." Denise was very curious and held the switch box in her hand. Observed.

Chen Mo smiled: "Yes, because I have been busy with the development of "Dark Souls" before, and I am in a hurry, and the games above are not too many, so I consider delaying the release for a few months. This time the prequel of "Dark Soul" and the main body of "Dark Soul" will be launched on the handheld platform."

Denise was a little surprised: "Is this a bit redundant? Those who really like "Dark Souls" are **** players. They definitely prefer to play in the game cabin."

Chen Mo smiled: "It's not the same. The current pricing strategy is like this. If a player buys the vr version of "Dark Soul", then the handheld version of "Dark Soul" will be given away for free. Players in the vr game cabin can also buy the switch version directly, and it will be very cheap, only 98 soft sister coins, equivalent to about 16 dollars, less than 1/20 of the vr version."

Denise nodded. After hearing the price, she understood a little bit about the advantages of the handheld version of Dark Souls.

However, she has not opened the box now, and it is difficult to understand what it would be like to play "Dark Soul" on such a small handheld.

Denise asked: "Then, how much content will be reduced in "Dark Soul" on the handheld?"

Chen Mo said: "The game content of "Dark Souls" will be faithfully reproduced without much shrinkage. Of course, due to the different operation and display methods of the two devices, the handheld version of "Dark Souls" "There will definitely be some changes in the experience."

"But I think the handheld version is two different game experiences compared to the VR version. It's hard to say arbitrarily which is better or worse."

Denise said excitedly: "So, in the prequel to Dark Souls, can the whip weapons I like be strengthened?"

Chen Mo showed a smiling face: "As I said before, you can turn off the damage."

Denise: "..."

Obviously, it is impossible for Chen Mo to strengthen the damage of whip weapons...

Dennis thought for a while, then asked: "There is another very critical question, how difficult is the prequel to Dark Souls? Will you reduce the difficulty because of the strong demands of the players?"

Chen Mo smiled: "I have already said that when I was working on "Dark Soul", I never considered the difficulty, because what I wanted to bring to the player was an unexpected feeling. , Is to give them a kind of surprise and happiness brought by heart."

"About the prequel of "Dark Souls"... Let's put it this way, it will be a more unexpected game. Or it is the true essence of "Dark Souls". I think it will surpass the current "Dark Soul" in terms of gameplay."

After speaking, Chen Mo showed another meaningful smile.

Denice is very excited: "Okay, I believe that many players can't wait, I hope the prequel of "Dark Souls" can be made as soon as possible!"

Denise chatted with Chen Mo again. This reporter from across the ocean was obviously curious about everything in the experience store. After asking a lot of content, he reluctantly left.

"In short, about the content of the previous work of "Dark Souls", shouldn't it be the content that needs to be kept secret? It should be okay to release it to the player now?" Denise asked.

Chen Mo smiled: "No problem, you can make the players look forward to it. By the way, I hope you can play switch and help promote it."

Denice nodded: "Okay, then I will leave, I hope there will be interview opportunities in the future."

Denise left happily, her mind full of longing for the prequel to "Dark Souls".

Thinking that other players' expectations for this work should be similar to Dennis, but when he thinks about the difficulty of the game, Chen Mo can't help but smile.

……

During this period, Chen Mo had a lot of things.

At present, the number of employees of Thunder Interactive Entertainment has been increasing. Not only are there more and more people in art, but the number of personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of various projects is also increasing. The fourth floor of the experience store is already fast. It's completely full.

Currently, Thunder Interactive has a lot of work.

On the one hand, it is the "League of Legends" event. The domestic leagues are in full swing and become more and more popular, and the time for the second global finals is gradually approaching. Many "League of Legends" players are looking forward to it.

In addition, "Overwatch" has already launched an international version, and the response in the European and American markets is very good.

However, the popularity of this game in China has not achieved the same dominance as "League of Legends" ~IndoMTL.com~ mainly because of the characteristics of this game.

Because the depth of the game of "Overwatch" is not very good, so the popularity is difficult to continue to rise, many players temporarily sealed off after the novelty.

However, "Overwatch" is still a popular game and still needs long-term operation.

Of course, these contents are maintained by a dedicated person, and Chen Mo does not need to worry about it, because the game has been generally finalized.

Chen Mo's current work focuses mainly on two aspects. On the one hand, he reworked "Dark Souls 1" so that the series of "Dark Souls" can be fully presented in the world; On the other hand, it makes corresponding promotion around switch.

So far, switch has not been sold in the European and American markets, and the games on the platform are not particularly well-known except for "Odyssey".

Chen Mo wanted to lay the foundation for switch to open up the European and American markets through the popularity of "Dark Soul".

The handheld and vr game cabins are for completely different groups of people. The biggest advantage of the handheld is actually cheap.

For a game like "Dark Souls", the vr version is 1988, and the handheld version only requires 98 to buy.

The difference in experience between these two devices lies mainly in the immersion. Just looking at the gameplay and content, the handheld version of "Dark Souls" is also fun.

In addition, the market share of mobile platforms is still expanding. Just like in the previous life, more and more manufacturers have put the game magic on the PC side on the mobile platform, and the effect is very good, and the profitability of mobile games is getting stronger.

For the mobile game platform, Chen Mo hasn't launched a new game for nearly a year. Can you take this opportunity to have another happy wave of leeks?
