Chapter 1687: The "Chicken" Game
At the end of the month, it was Golden Week.
The regular festival of Tamamo Shrine also began at this time.
And for the game production team of "Sword Art Online", it has not been a very comfortable time recently.
Because Mori Xia, the unscrupulous boss, suddenly proposed to add a "mini-game" mode.
At first, everyone thought that the boss just proposed a very ordinary and interesting way to play to increase the fun of the game.
But later, after hearing Senxia's explanation, they found that this mode is interesting, but if you want to say that this mode is a "mini game", then the production staff can only "heheda".
Because this thing is not small at all.
The argument put forward by Senxia is simple.
The game offers simple modules that can be combined into all kinds of vehicles or robots, and then used to fight against these manufactured units.
Sounds simple, right?
Well, but it's going to kill you to do it.
Because first of all, the first problem is that Sword Art Online is not done in this direction, the engine is biased towards action, and there is no consideration of any permutations and combinations at all.
Of course, it can be solved if it is solved, because in the game, the player itself provides a dress-up system, and if this paper doll system expands it, it is actually not a big problem. It's the workload, and it's probably going to be a lot......
Secondly, because the player himself is very innovative, it is possible to join the game, but in fact, it will cause the problem of disconnection between the gameplay and the game itself.
So on the production team's side, I really want to die.
Fortunately, the production team here is not the kind of pure gas bag, and under the arguments of the production team, Mori Xia agreed to make this game alone.
And it was at this time that another person who gave Senxia a headache returned to the mud.
"Darling, I really want Darling~ Come, let's have a hug for a long absence!"
As soon as Senxia arrived home, Alice pounced on him.
"Don't!"
Senxia hurriedly dodged Alice.
"Why are you here?" Senxia didn't know why Alice was coming.
"Of course, I studied abroad. Alice said, "I was going to do this last year, but last year it wasn't good......
Alice planned to stay in the mud bomb last year, but because of Ben Lassi's shocking collision, Alice's schedule was all interrupted, and her idea of staying in the mud bomb did not come true.
But now it's almost over, and Alice is back.
Sen Xia is a little glad that Yukino is still in school, otherwise, he would be troubled by this side now......
"And I'm going to congratulate Darling. The sales of "MUV Moonfall" exceeded 10 million~" Alice said something else.
"Ah, that's a good thing. Senxia nodded.
In fact, Senxia has already started the production of a sequel.
However, the sequel is still the same as the previous work, or with a new protagonist and a new story, which is actually being discussed here.
Of course, the production team is actually more concerned about the development of multiplayer gameplay and game systems, and this part is the most important.
"But after market analysis on our side, it's almost time for new game projects to stimulate the market. Alice said, "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be a little lacking in stamina."
The situation on Senxia's side is actually fine.
But as Alice said.
Now all kinds of shooting games on the market have begun to be launched, and some games that follow the trend are not bad in quality. If Mori Xia wants to maintain the status of the "leader" of shooting games, he needs new works to support it.
"I've thought about this for a long time. Also, don't come here!"
Alice didn't freeze still, she tried to pounce on Senxia as she spoke.
Mori Xia is discussing the problem with Alice seriously, and at the same time, he is also preventing Alice's sudden pounce.
"It's really Darling, come, I'll reward you~"
"Don't come here!"
"What are you afraid of, didn't Darling even get what I hid inside my body?!"
"Don't use lines that will make people misunderstood! And you have such a wolf-like expression, who can withstand it!"
In fact, Alice is still a very cute girl.
However, Alice can sometimes be quite frustrated.
As a gentleman, Senxia actually thinks Alice is quite good. But as a friend of reality, there is an unbearable weight.
Of course, Senxia also knows the reason - it's because it's just Alice and herself.
If anyone else was here, Alice would never do such a thing. However, because there are only two people now, there is such a thing.
If Mori Xia tried to push Alice down at this moment, it wouldn't work.
"Darling, let's relax!"
"Don't make trouble, Senior Sister Qianjia will come back later, and Lihua may come back when she will come. ”
"Isn't that just right?!"
"Then with your wish, right?!"
Yes, Alice is not afraid of being discovered.
In other words, this bold sister paper actually wants to use this method to swear her ownership.
And this is also the reason why Senxia is hiding from Alice.
The two were at a stalemate for a while, and Alice's side finally stopped.
"What game is Darling talking about?" asked Alice.
"Didn't we talk about a GGO before?" Mori Xia said.
"Ah, it was written by the guy who wrote 'Journey to Chino'. "Alice is still familiar with otaku culture.
"Yes. The game here is to use this as a background and then make ......"
To put it simply, it's a game of chicken.
It's just that this chicken game has a layer of skin.
That is, the skin of the "Sword Art Online" Gaiden.
However, for now, the official propaganda has not been publicized as a foreign legend, but as a role under the same worldview.
"The type of battle royale, well......" Alice pondered.
"That's about it. Senxia quickly dodged Alice's pounce before continuing, "To put it simply, there are groups of people in the game, and they can be combined into squads, and then the team that survives in the end is the winner." ”
The concept of "the leftover is king" is also understood by Alice.
"Is it too late to make it?" asked Alice.
"Enough. In this game, there is only one main map, which is actually very convenient to make. ”
Mori Xia's words are actually the situation of the "chicken" game.
This type of game, like Hero Tracks, has only one map.
But because of this, the map making of this game is actually much easier than those first-person shooter games that require a lot of maps.
It's not too cool.
In another worldline, after the popularity of PUBG, other games of the same type immediately appeared, and the reason for this is because of the simplicity and low cost of such games.
- relatively, of course.
After PUBG, these games developed very smoothly, and in just a few years, dozens or even hundreds of corresponding games appeared, as evidenced by this.
Because these games basically don't need to be carefully developed, you only need to take out the games you developed before, change them, add a map, and then add a mode, and you can "eat chicken".
This is the state of the same type of game in the future.
And APEX, which is in the hot world, is the last leader after the big waves.
Of course, that's the future.
And for now, this game on Senxia's side is still a unique technology on Senxia's side.
First of all, the technology that can accommodate 64 people (the current maximum number of players on the server) is not something that ordinary manufacturers can play, either latency or cards, or plug-ins.
And the technical strength of Senxia's side is absolutely first-class.
The most troublesome thing here is actually the current network penetration rate and network speed. These are the two places that give them the most headaches.
Even "MUV Moonfall" is too. It can be said that if this world line can be popularized on the Internet immediately at this moment, the sales of the game "MUV Moonfall" will rise by at least about 30%.
This is the reality of the situation.
"But I actually like it. Alice said, "If Darling and I can team up, we will definitely be able to block and kill, and Buddha will be able to kill Buddha." We're going to win in the end~"
I don't know why, when Senxia saw Alice's appearance, he actually thought of a work called "Future Diary".
Well...... Speaking of which,,It seems that in a sense,It's really a game in the "chicken" category.,After all,In this work,It's also a requirement that "the leftover is king"。
Mori Xia's train of thought drifted all at once.
"I'm going to release the game on E3. The launch time will probably be set for the summer vacation. ”
"Why don't we add more content? I think we might be able to add some plot or something...... Alice still cares about the narrative.
"There is no need to understand. "Because that kind of content doesn't matter, it's not good to design a separate model." More importantly, the game itself should be purely fun. We sell too much, and sometimes players get bothered. ”
The plot or something, it's better to be moderate.
Because this game itself is not a story-oriented game.
Of course, it can't be said that it is not at all.
In fact, the background and prop settings in the game are very complicated. Behind every item, there is a story - the source of this creative method is the method of item description in the Souls series.
However, because this is a relatively intense confrontation game, this kind of explanation is actually not important sometimes.
In fact, this is true for players of first-person shooters.
- Just pick up the gun and rush forward, who cares about the plot?
So, a lot of times in this kind of game, people usually have the idea of "who am I, where am I, who am I going to fight?".
Although such a design was made, Mori Xia himself did not count on it.
After all, it's okay to say if it's a game in the PVE category, but GGO itself is designed to be a high-intensity confrontation game, and players basically don't care about the background of this kind of game.
Of course, in a sense, this kind of thing is also a good thing. For example, in another world line, Riot, the developer of League of Legends, has adjusted the settings in the game a lot. The Blind Monk was demoted from a Summoner candidate, and the Juggernaut went from being the third in the universe to Death on the Street...... However, this kind of adjustment of the setting did not cause too much disgust among players. And the reason for this is that the players themselves don't really care about these settings in the game.
If it is a game based on story and setting, then this kind of action of the developer may easily make them and unable to take care of themselves......
"In fact, we are also preparing to promote this kind of 'leftover is king' gameplay. Senxia avoided Alice, who wanted to feed herself ice cream, and continued, "Tetris, for example, is what we're going to do. ”
"Tetris?Battle Royale?" Alice put the ice cream to her lips, she heard Senxia's words, she didn't seem to understand the meaning of Senxia's words, she seemed to rack her brains to think, but in the end she was confused.
She seemed eager to imagine how this kind of game would play Battle Royale, but she couldn't imagine it. Because she was thinking too much, the ice cream melted unconsciously, and the white sugar liquid flowed down the corners of her mouth.
Senxia hurriedly helped Alice wipe it clean.
Well...... This is deliberate.
"Doesn't Darling want benefits?" Alice tilted her head.
"No, I think if I leave it alone, I'll probably be killed when the others come home, right?"
Well, it's divided into several equal parts.
Don't look at the ......
"......," Alice pouted, "but you're really going to make a battle royale cube?"
"Why not? I think it's a spectacular and interesting thing for 100 people to play Tetris at the same time!"
Of course it's interesting. Even in another world line, it is very interesting, the so-called "chicken cube", directly made a game that is about to pass the gas glow pure, and even many people have noticed this famous Tetris that is usually only heard, but not seen.
It can be said that this mode is very much for the promotion of this game. And many obscure cube masters have also attracted people's attention - until then, these skilled players had never been known to the general public.
Sen Xia's side took this model by the way.
Not to mention, according to the internal instructions, everyone seems to like this game of building blocks and eating chicken......
"But I'm looking forward to it. "It would be interesting if any other game could do that." ”
"That's why I'm doing this. "Sen Xia didn't do this game just for himself.
In doing so, he actually played an exemplary role.
Don't forget, he's not just making games, he's also making platforms......
......
Two-in-one meow~
