A large eastern country, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

At this time, Brother Xiao Ma was watching a promotional video with the game production team.

This is the promotional video for Sword Art Online, which will be shown at E3 in the future, and at the same time, there is also some demo content.

This part introduces the plot, gameplay, and characteristics of the game's story.

Because it's an internal version.,So there's no so-called title for the whole film.,There's no music and BGM matching.,Only dry commentary and game sound effects.。

The first thing that catches your eye is the game's screen.

The graphics of this game,It's very good.,A company has extremely rich experience in 3D game development.,These characters of theirs,Although there are still "polygons" on their bodies, but the feeling of rendering the whole picture is very powerful.。

This style of three shades and two shades is made by Senxia with reference to another world line called Honkai Impact 3, although the effect is not so perfect, but in this era, it is already extremely amazing.

Anyway, Brother Xiaoma's friends were stunned by this picture at the beginning.

The reason why Brother Pony was not suppressed was because he had already read this part last night - he knelt directly at that time.

The story is that after the player landed on a game called Sword Art Online, the game world changed and the fake world became the real world.

The whole game adopts the mode of action RPG, using the method of small copy action, and the player's adventure is actually carried out in one copy after another, and even the largest copy is only allowed to be carried out by four people - but there is a 32-person copy satellite in this video.

It's a completely different game mode from the current game, but surprisingly, this mode makes people feel very comfortable.

Brother Xiao Ma also knew that in fact, Senxia had already put forward these concepts before.

But the proposal is proposed, but the shock after actually seeing the finished product is still amazing.

What's more, it's not really a finished product, but just a picture in development, a half-finished game.

But even so, a lot of the content in this game is still surprising.

Well...... For example, the enhancement system and equipment system in the game, as well as the entire UI and system structure, and even the "NPC favorability" as a game, these are refreshing.

After reading it, the entire conference room fell into silence.

There are some subtle differences between the current business of this world line and another world line, and because of his own experience, Xiao Ma of this world line is an anti-piracy pioneer and an authority in the game industry.

It is precisely because of this that when there was still more than half a month before E3, Brother Xiao Ma got this from Senxia.

Of course, this is confidential. Only Brother Xiao Ma can get it in advance.

And another reason why he was able to get it in advance was that Senxia used it as a reference for Brother Xiaoma.

"What do you think?"

As soon as the film ended, Brother Pony began to ask other people.

“…… The gameplay is similar to that of the dungeon, but mostly in 3D. ”

Someone spoke.

- The game that Brother Pony has been working on recently is a DNF.

The project of this game was launched at almost the same time as the Sword Art Online over there.

It's just that Senxia handed over the development of this game to Brother Xiao Ma - after all, the main market for this game is also for a large eastern country.

Of course, if you show the progress of "Sword Art Online" to Brother Pony too early, this may affect the development of Brother Pony's side, so the two production teams have not been in contact for more than half a year.

But now, the framework of the game is in place, and the two sides are interconnected, which can bring the development of both sides one step closer.

"Yes, the same type, 3D project, and people are animation, game, three-way linkage. When Brother Xiao Ma said this, he was also a little envious.

There is also an animation project in the dungeon on his side.,But the progress is lagging behind.,And Senxia also said it clearly.,Animation is a thing.,There are pros and cons.,If it's not like Senxia's side to be able to do long-term animation.,It's better not to do it.,Or just make a theater version or OVA better.。

Daily dramas,Unless the fans want it,Otherwise, before and after the animation is broadcast,The difference in the popularity of the game may be a little big.。

- Unless your own game quality can be excellent.

But this problem with the game leads to another problem, that is, if the game itself is of excellent quality, the existence of animation or not is actually even more dispensable - at least in the early stages of the game.

So Brother Xiao Ma doesn't plan to think about it so much, but concentrates on games, and now Penguin Company, in addition to QICQ, that is, the game department is the most valued by Brother Xiaoma.

“…… This is a 3D action game, and the performance requirements for the computer will be relatively high, so I think it may not be suitable for China. Someone said, "But our dungeons, modeled after arcade games, are easier to popularize." ”

Little Pony nodded, then motioned for the others to continue.

The other party's words seem to make sense, but in fact they are not very reasonable.

- When World of Warcraft was born, there were many people who complained that the performance of the machine was definitely not enough, so they sang about the game, but the result, no matter who knows......

Brother Pony doesn't know about another world line, but in this world line, Brother Pony knows that when "Dark Souls" and "MUV: Moonset" landed on the PC platform, it directly triggered a wave of machine changes, and at that time in Akihabara, there was really an endless stream of people who bought computers in the past, and at this time, there were not many people complaining about the game to let them update the machine. Even if there are complaints, they are all complaining that they don't have enough money.

But this opinion of his subordinates also let Brother Pony know other ideas, and he also wanted to know other people's opinions.

"I think this game is very good, the UI of this game is very close to the style of painting, it is very comfortable to watch, and the picture is minimalist, except for the necessary content, during the battle, the other items are hidden, and the game experience for players is very good. Someone else put forward their own opinions.

"It's a good story-driven structure, and the branching plot is huge, I know a little Japanese, and I've played their previous Brave New World, and that kind of story-oriented content is amazing. ”

"The PK system is good, I think PVP is also part of the game, this game provides PVE and PVP structures, and we can also use this mode in the dungeon. "Someone said something about the game's PVP system.

This system is a very interesting point in the game, because it is completely different from the popular players in this year, the PVP and PVE of this game are completely different, and it is impossible for players to find another person casually and force PK with each other. But on the contrary, players can play ladder matches in PVP mode in the game, which is really in the same vein as those online games of A Society.

"I think the appearance system is very good.,A club game.,NPC's face is very powerful in close-ups.,When NPCs speak,,There's really a particularly powerful ability.。 I just noticed that when the player communicates with the NPC, the NPC's face will also have an expression - and did you just see it, in this game, a lot of cutscenes, are directly performed with real-time calculations, but that effect, and the feeling when we watch the mud bomb anime, is actually similar. ”

Others have noticed a more important point.

Brother Pony is a little clear about this.

In fact, there are very, very many cutscenes in this game.

These contents are all generated by real-time calculations in the game, but Brother Pony knows that behind these real-time calculations, there is a real animation supervisor who does storyboarding in the back. The use of real-time calculus is also to increase the player's sense of substitution, as well as reduce the capacity of the game - if there are dozens of animations in the game, let alone the game itself, these animations alone can make the capacity of the game explode.

However, Sword Art Online is still a game with a lot of cutscenes, so sometimes you can only use this kind of real-time calculation.

Everyone discussed for a while, and Brother Xiao Ma recorded all the better opinions mentioned by everyone.

- The content of the game, for Brother Xiaoma's side, is actually not helpful for the time being.

But Brother Pony is also ambitious, and his next work is to make a 3D game.

He has noticed that the domestic market is still relatively vacant, and the vacancy in this market naturally has to be filled by himself.

"The film of our dungeon was also sent to Xia Sen, and the review over there was good. ”

After everyone finished speaking, Brother Xiao Ma did not summarize, but talked about the previous things.

- Not only did "Sword Art Online" make a promotional video, but the production team on Brother Pony's side also made one before, and after Brother Pony, he also needed to go to E3 with Senxia.

The plot of "Dungeons and Warriors" itself is still good, but after the big transfer, the whole story began to fool around, and then after it collapsed, there was an origin version, and in the midst of this, there were all kinds of plans to make a big death, so it was always complained about in another world line.

But on the other hand, this game is so tossed, but it can still make players dislike it and continue to play, which also shows the charm of this game.

When Senxia explained to Brother Xiao Ma for development, he came up with the outline and setting in advance, and then asked Brother Xiao Ma to do it, hoping that Brother Xiao Ma could restore the original story as much as possible - the quality of the dungeon itself is not bad, and there is no need for the so-called super magic change, as long as you don't die big.

However, Senxia's operational strategy is also different.

Brother Xiao Ma is taking the road of "boutique". Senxia attaches more importance to word-of-mouth than profit, so when the KPI is assessed, the focus of planning is no longer to pit players - in fact, many times, planning is dead, and they know it in their hearts, but in order to complete the company's performance share, they have to consume the life of the game in advance.

After all, even if a game can run for 20 years, the planner itself can't be 20 years, and it's often the case that the planners make money for the company, and then they get promoted, and then ...... And then there was no then, and the general game was basically dead.

It is true that long-term games are more profitable, but the fate of the company and the fate of the individual's future are sometimes inconsistent.

But in this world line, Brother Ma has a very good attitude towards making games, and his business strategy is to do word-of-mouth, take the high-quality route, and have a more long-term vision.

Hawkers, the little brother of this world line is really different from another world line.

But it's no wonder, after all, if the boy's posture of pushing down the girl changes slightly, maybe the person born in the future will become a "brother and sister" with the same name and surname, instead of the original "self".

But what does it matter? It is precisely because of this attitude that the little pony in this world line will choose to hand over many games to the little pony to develop.

The fate of a person can not only depend on self-struggle, but also on one's own character......

"I discussed it with Xia Sen yesterday. Once the dungeon is ready, we will probably move on to developing a 3D game. Now if you have a good idea, you can mention it. ”

"Stand-alone online games?" someone suddenly asked.

"Online games. Xiao Ma said, "We discussed it, and they are not optimistic about us developing stand-alone games in a large eastern country, so if it is cooperation, it will focus on online games." But I personally like single-player games, and any of you who have good ideas can also tell me, but if you develop them alone, there will be less technical support for mud bombing. ”

Xiao Ma's statement made everyone fall silent.

The stand-alone market in a large eastern country has really reached the point where there is a desire to beg for thieves and no power to return to the sky.

If you want to develop a good stand-alone game and make money in a large eastern country, it has become almost impossible.

Oh...... Of course, there are still games that sell millions.

Senxia's three-dollar cheap genuine version made a game company in a large eastern country dumbfounded, and some people even shouted out that "mud bombing games are engaged in dumping".

"In addition, we have already decided that the first external limited test of Dungeons & Warriors will be held in October during the National Day. Let's work hard so that we can officially launch it next summer. Brother Ma said.

"Yes!"

Everyone else answered.

Little Pony nodded.

In fact, Brother Pony also wants to make a stand-alone game in his heart.

But what should be done in a stand-alone game and how to make money, Xiao Ma doesn't have a complete idea of these contents.

The domestic stand-alone game industry, can't it really be rescued?

He sighed inwardly......

……

RP is the way of playing, PVE is the interaction logic, the words used in the previous chapter are not accurate, and they have been adjusted.

Two-in-one meow.
