Chapter 1694: Complicated Horse Battles
"Don't look at me like this, my face will turn into a red apple, don't be like a koala pestering me, and I don't want to be friends with you......" Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Feng pretended to sing Xu Huaiyu's "I Am a Girl" with a shy face.
Many high-level officials were stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly. Especially Wu Gang and other Chinese, even more slapping the table daxiao, almost did not drill to the bottom of the table.
"Boss, you're too coke, fortunately we didn't buy a video phone, otherwise we would have recorded it for you and sent it to your 'y0utube', so that you can catch fire!" - Cui Mingze, director of the "First Game Development Department". Although he is Korean, he has been in China for four years, and he did not speak Chinese at first, but now he has become a China expert.
"Boss, you're so funny!" Lin Chiling also covered her mouth behind her and snickered.
Lin Feng shrugged. Just now, Lin Feng also eased the tense atmosphere. Everyone cares too much about "Shijie War", although this is a good thing, Lin Feng still hopes that everyone will relax and not be too nervous. Too much tension will only make mistakes.
"Well, I see that everyone is full of food and drink, and their mood is relaxed. Then let's get down to business!" Lin Feng coughed a few times, bringing everyone's attention back to work.
After a while of daxiao, everyone's mood was much more normal at the moment.
"Guys, as for the game Mount & Blade, for me personally, it's a pretty good first-person RPG. Lin Feng began to explain the game "Horse and Blade" in detail.
For three hours, Lin Feng drank 7 glasses of water before he told everyone everything he knew about "Horse Riding and Slashing".
"Boss, such a game can be added to "Shijie Wars", which can enrich the shortcomings of the early combat system of "Shijie Wars". Min Wu Li said after a moment's silence.
Originally, Shijie Wars was a first-person shooter game, but with the addition of an 'ergonomic system', compared to Counter-Strike, the body movements were greatly enriched, which were sufficient for a game dominated by gunfights. But if you put the game background in the era of cold weapons, it will not be enough. Especially after watching "Monster Hunter", it is even more dwarfed.
Although the system of "Monster Hunter" can enrich the combat system of "Shijie Wars" in the era of cold weapons, everyone has always felt that it is always a bit insufficient. It's just that I haven't known where the shortcomings are, and after listening to Lin Feng's "Riding and Slashing" at this moment, I realized that the shortcomings lie in the lack of a "mount combat system".
In the era of cold weapons, horse warfare was indispensable. What a pity it would have been if there had been no horse war for a large-scale group charge.
Think about it, in the era of cold weapons, if there is only large-scale infantry combat, whether it is in strategy and tactics, it will be greatly limited, on the contrary, once you have a war horse, the strategy and tactics are completely different. In particular, this "mount system" can capture different mounts. Tyrannosaurus rex, giraffe, mammoth, these creatures are all prehistoric beasts, and they must be combined to make the tactics more ever-changing, especially in ancient times, there were pterosaurs, which is equivalent to the modern air force.
It's exciting to think about it. Of course, the emergence of the "horse warfare system" is not only reflected in war. Even in the ordinary expansion of territory, it is also indispensable. The game map in "Shijie Wars" is modeled on the medieval Shijie map, and the total area of the map is converted into a real land area, which is the size of 1 China, that is, 9.6 million square kilometers.
9.6 million square kilometers, what a spectacle. The largest map in the game is only 1,000 square kilometers, but "Shijie Wars" is 9.6 million square kilometers, which is simply incredible.
It looks incredible, but it's actually not that surprising. You can calculate an account like this, in "Shijie Wars", there are 265 cities around the world that are real imitations, and the area of so many cities adds up to a lot, but also oceans, plains, wilderness, forests, so many terrains add up, "Shijie Wars" has a map of 9.6 million square kilometers, which is really normal. (In fact, compared to entering modern warfare, after owning all kinds of aircraft, the 9.6 million square kilometer map is not that big.) In addition to the sea and forests, it is very quick to go to other villages if you take a warplane. And with such a large map, if you just walk, you can't go to another town in the year of the monkey, so horseback riding is very necessary. Otherwise, if you really switch to the Wild Era, if you rely on it all, although it doesn't cost the player's physical strength, it will make the player's energy collapse. Think about it, in the age of barbarism, it took several hours to walk one step at a time to reach a town or village, isn't that devastating?
"Boss, where is this game?" asked Minwu Lee excitedly.
When Lin Feng heard this, he was a little stunned on the spot. Monster Hunter is now in development, and all you have to do is add it to the game system. But this "Mountand Blade" is different. If you don't have a game system, it will be a big problem for Minwu Li and others to get it out.
"What? No, boss, this is only less than 2 months before the public beta will be released, and I am still confident in integrating Monster Hunter in such a short time, but I really can't do anything if I have to add this 'mount system' and 'horse combat system'!" shouted Minwu Lee.
If you want to add the "mount system", maybe it can be a little simpler, after all, adding the riding system is mainly to add some mounts' "rideable" options, and then properly adjust the difficulty of "taming", plus the mount's running system and so on. Although this is also more complicated, it is just a cumbersome procedure, and there is no difficulty in itself.
And the real trouble is the "horse battle system", you must know that there is only one more "horse", then it is a completely two-concept game. Fighting with horses and without horses is completely different. In horse warfare, you have to calculate the cumulative impact force of the horse's running speed, readjust the mechanical system of human movement on the horse, and the degree of cooperation between the person and the horse, which is a rather complex problem. It's impossible to get it done in a short period of time. Unless the entire "second shijie" programmer is involved in the development of the "horse warfare system", it will never be possible.
But it is even more impossible to get all the programmers of the "second shijie" to participate in the development of this program. Each game department has its own games to develop, and it's impossible to give up everything you have to develop the system. In that case, maybe the "horse war system" can be completed smoothly, but if it is not completed, the whole "second shijie" will be messed up.
Lin Feng also frowned, he didn't expect that developing a "horse combat system" would be so complicated. You must know that the capacity of "Mount and Blade" was only more than 400m, which is very small. It shouldn't be difficult, but judging from Min Wu Lee's attitude, it is clear that it will be quite difficult to develop this "horse warfare system".
In fact, the reason why it is so complicated is also because the "mount system" and "horse battle system" of "Shijie Wars" are far more complex than "Mount and Blade". At least in "Mount and Blade", there are only horses, there are no dinosaurs, mammoths, tigers and the like, and the "horse battle system" In "Mount and Blade", although there are many types of weapons, there are actually very few body movements, and in "Shijie War", Minwu Lee will add many actions unique to horse wars. For example, "hiding the belly", such as "side riding", etc., so it is natural that it is difficult to develop.
"In this way, Minwu, first integrate 'Monster Hunter' into 'Shijie Wars', and then integrate the 'mount system', and Zuihou integrate the 'horse combat system', what do you think?" Lin Feng said in a compromise manner.
Minwu Lee thought for a moment and nodded.
"Boss, although this is possible, there is a problem, that is, I may not be able to get it before January 1st. Minwu Lee said.
"It's easy, just get an expansion pack then. Launched as an expansion pack. Lin Feng snapped his fingers.
Minwu Lee thought for a moment and nodded. If that's the case, there's a lot more time.
"By the way, boss, we used to play Shijie Wars in the first person, and Monster Hunter is not in the first person, but in the third person, what kind of perspective do we use in the game?" asked Minwu Lee.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment.
"In this way, we provide both first-person and third-person perspectives, and it's up to the player to choose, what do you think?" Lin Feng said.
Minwu Lee nodded. This will make it more difficult for them to develop, but it will undoubtedly make the game more enjoyable.
"Okay, are there any questions?" Lin Feng asked.
The crowd shook their heads. There are no more questions about Shijie Wars.
"Alright, let's get to work right away. By the way, G&D (Head of the Fifth Game Development Department, in charge of developing Assassin's Creed), you can put Assassin's Creed aside for the time being, and cooperate with Minwu to integrate the Monster Hunter system into Shijie Wars as soon as possible. Lin Feng commanded.
If Minwu Lee alone is a game department, I am afraid that it will not be able to integrate "Monster Hunter" into "Shijie Wars" in a short period of time, not to mention that "Mount and Blade" is no less effective than "Shijie Wars", with the help of G&D, Minwu Lee can be more effective. "Haha, thank you very much. I wanted to mention it just now, but I'm afraid G&D doesn't want to. Min Wu Lee was overjoyed.
The company's "ergonomic system" was invented by G&D, and it would be great to have her help.
G&D nodded helplessly. Originally, "Assassin's Creed" was in the critical development stage, but Lin Feng had spoken, and she couldn't help but listen, not to mention that for her, it was good for her to be able to absorb a little element of "Monster Hunter" first, which would be good for the development of "Assassin's Creed".
"Then let's get started!" Lin Feng commanded.
