Chapter 28 Chinese Wind Strategy
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Li Fangcheng continued: "Now this problem is not prominent, we can see that Japan is also an Asian culture, why are Japanese games sold all over the world? ”
"But Japanese games are still sold all over the world, and the fundamental reason is that Japan is now in this era when the game style is still single, and everyone has no choice, so that players feel that the two-dimensional world is such a wonderful world, and other than that, there is no longer any knowledge of the game.
"This is the reason why Nintendo's games are now sold all over the world, if it goes on like this, it is not surprising that Nintendo's games can be inherited for decades and affect hundreds of millions of people, to put it bluntly, it is the export of game culture that has successfully brainwashed countless people.
"If you put it in ten years, maybe we can't do anything to change this fact, but the development of Japanese games, just a few years, of course, there have been many people who have fallen in love with Japan's two-dimensional world painting style, I believe that if at this time, players are given one more choice, with the only two choices, then it is against the player's curiosity, as long as the game itself is really of excellent quality, it will definitely be able to create a new style that players like. ”
Li Fangcheng paused for a moment, and continued to finish in an affirmative and unquestionable tone: "So now we can clearly know what kind of road we want to take in the Age of Miracles, since Japan can export the culture of the two-dimensional world, why can't it export the culture of the Chinese style? The Chinese style has thousands of years."
"That's right, although you have to worry about the beauty of the mean, but it doesn't matter, in the most peaceful aesthetic as possible, you can show the essence of Chinese style. What is the beauty of the mean, I guess you all have this question, I'll talk about it later.
"The essence of the Chinese style, to put it bluntly, is that since ancient times, the Taoist spirit of Huaxia, Taoist thought, the unique style of the world, is also the core of countless martial arts novels, the world of Xianxia, I use four words to describe, that is, Taoism and nature!
To put it bluntly, it is a kind of dusty, elegant, free and easy charm, a kind of elegant, extraordinary, and refined texture that can be felt as long as you look at it, and it is also a feeling that allows players to feel extremely smooth and comfortable when playing. If you still don't understand it, you can learn about Taoist thought. Chinese culture is like a towering tree, and the roots of this tree are in Taoism. ”
Li Fangcheng finally used a sentence from the British sinologist Joseph Needham to summarize the evaluation of Chinese culture.
"Are you a little curious, why did I ask you to study some algorithm problems and painting style problems when you told me that you wanted to start the Dragon Sword and Heavenly Sword project before?" Li Fangcheng looked at a few people with a smile and asked.
"That's right, boss, you've been telling us that it's not time yet, I still don't know, why did you set up a project team today, is it time for you to say?" Ling Donghua said with a curious expression.
"Do you know how many home game consoles are now?" Li Fangcheng did not answer immediately, but threw out a question.
"Surely you know that today's home consoles are 8-bit machines. Bai Hongjing was already able to tell the situation of the game console without thinking.
Ever since they knew they would have to deal with countless games, they spent their free time learning about the video game industry with all sorts of newspapers and news books.
"Yes, that's right, it's an 8-bit game console, but what do you think of the 8-bit game console with our Dragon Sword Heavenly Sword?" asked Li Fangcheng again.
"It's okay, right? I think it's still very playable. Liu Changyong thought for a while and replied.
"I'm wondering, what does the boss mean, is it the standard new generation of game consoles?" Ling Donghua suddenly asked.
"Hehe, count you smart, that's right, what Liu Changyong said is right, there is still playability, but if you use an 8-bit machine to carry the Dragon Sword and Heavenly Sword, then countless algorithms can make the 8-bit machine not be able to perform well. If there is no qualified driver to carry the algorithm, or even delete the function for the sake of performance, then the AI system of Dragon Sword and Sky Sword will not want to make it.
"So, what I'm really aiming for is a 16-bit home console! Only the latest 16-bit console is eligible for this game!
Li Fangcheng proudly said that such a new type of game, if there is no good carrier, wouldn't it be a discredit for such a masterpiece!
Only then did the others finally understand what Li Fangcheng was thinking, and it turned out to be such a time. I can't help but be shocked at the same time, but also full of motivation! Yes, a unique new type of game, why bend to squeeze seats in the 8-bit machine? The king should have the demeanor of a king!
The game "Dragon Sword and Heavenly Sword", Li Fangcheng knows that although the current console can't show the charm of this game, but now the time has come! The Fire Emblem of the previous life is carried on the FC game console, that is, Nintendo's red and white machine, so it naturally has a good publicity channel.
And the current carrier, Li Fangcheng was a little hesitant before, but now, he has figured it out, what he is aiming at is the 16-bit machine in development in Sega's heart, also called Sega Xeon Driver!
The first real game console of Sega, and the first real 16-bit home video game console in the world! The emergence of this game console changed Sega's sluggish stance in the home console market.
And what could be more suitable for a game with this game console than the Dragon Sword and Heavenly Sword? If the Age of Wonders can officially borrow the Xeon Drive, then the Age of Wonders can truly have its own place in the world.
Don't look at the two arcade games sold to Sega now, it will be very famous, not to mention, the current reputation of Capcom in the arcade has made the Age of Wonders spend a lot of energy to chase, otherwise why form an arcade team?
And elsewhere, Konami has Contra, Enix has Dragon Quest, Nintendo's Super Mario, etc., all of them have their own unique masterpieces, and now don't look at the two casual puzzle arcade games that can sell for a lot of money, but commercial success is often not very related to fame.
Even the third family member is made to make money, in order to pave the way for the real masterpiece, so in the current miracle era, what is needed is to tell players around the world that I am here, I can make the best game!
Let players know that there is a brand, so that they like the brand, and the loyal players of a brand can bring a steady stream of income to the brand.
Even if one day Li Fangcheng said that he had no money, and all the banks said that they would lend money to Li Fangcheng, it would prove that the brand was really bigger.
"Then among the means you just mentioned, what exactly do you mean by the Dragon Sword and the Heavenly Sword?" Ying Qinglian asked the question that he hadn't talked about just now.
"This problem belongs to the problem of style orientation, if you take Jin Lao's original work, the pure martial arts world, and show the characters, scenes, etc. with such a feeling, it is obviously not enough. ”
Li Fangcheng knows that in the verification of countless games in later generations, the level of "the beauty of the mean" alone can make the planners want to break their heads.
"This question, to a large extent, will affect the audience of Dragon Sword and Heavenly Sword. ”
"The so-called beauty of moderation is the beauty of nature, the beauty of prudence, the beauty of neutrality, the beauty of tolerance, the beauty of moderation, you can understand it well, to put it simply, it means that the style can not be too distinct, can not have too strong national characteristics, the tone can not be too eye-catching or too low, to have an image that can be accepted by all countries, the picture can not be too conservative or too unrestrained, etc., but it is far more than that, I am just an example. ”
"So Ying Qinglian, you should determine this problem now, especially the little spirit monkey, why did I tell you recently that the little spirit monkey still needs to be optimized? For example, why the red cloak should be red, but not bright red, the armor on the body should be textured, but it is not a strong and tough metallic feeling, it can be Q version, but it can't be too Q, it can be realistic, and the bold color can't be too realistic, etc., to put it bluntly, it just can't go to extremes, all of this is reflected around the beauty of the mean. ”
Li Fangcheng picked up a glass of water handed over by Lin Yinger and drank two sips, saying so much at once, his mouth was a little dry.
"The beauty of the mean... I probably have some ideas, go back and think about it. "I have to say that Ying Qinglian's understanding is very high, at least in terms of the control of Huaxia style, Li Fangcheng even feels that there is no one to compare with the people he has seen so far.
Li Fangcheng is looking forward to the next run-in in the real sense of the entire department of the Dragon Sword and Heavenly Sword, and now a mediocre beauty is enough to make Ying Qinglian think about it for a long time.
Thinking of this, Li Fangcheng felt that he needed to work harder, so he continued to add: "The beauty of the mean, when you overcome this problem, you might as well come out from the perspective of the vast majority of people, you can draw a thing, draw a few of the Chinese style you understand, on different feelings, and then keep asking for everyone's opinions, if the vast majority of people like it at a glance, then that's right! This link, I call it, love at first sight!"
