Although the Olympic bid was unsuccessful, but life has to go on, fortunately Zhang Lexing took a day off in advance, and when he returned to the office to start work, everyone's mood was much better, and the work continued to move forward according to the schedule, the planners were doing the setting of the game scene and the writing of the dialogue script in the game, the artists worked hard to draw various game elements on the computer according to the requirements of the project manager and the main planner, and the programmers continued to work hard to write code every day.

On the first working day after the National Day, Zhang Lexing had just come to the company and his butt was not yet hot, so Zhan Jun hurriedly ran in.

"Boss, the first playable demo version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been made, do you want to take a look. ”

"Okay, take me to see it. Hearing this, Zhang Lexing stood up happily, it has been almost half a year, and he can finally see what tricks the RPG engine that Zhan Jun has been talking about has played.

Zhan Jun led the way in front of the head, and Zhang Lexing followed him to the programming department. Zhan Jun coughed lightly, then walked over to the computer he usually used and launched a program from the command line.

"Boss, just sit in my chair and watch, this game can be operated with a keyboard or a mouse. For the keyboard, the main ones are the arrow keys, ESC keys, enter keys, space bars, and if you use a mouse, you can click directly. ”

"Okay, then I'll try. Zhang Lexing answered and sat down on Zhan Jun's chair.

A foggy mountain appeared on the computer screen, and several cranes slowly flew from the right side of the picture to the left, and the words "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" slowly appeared on the right side like a brush writing. Pressed the space bar, and the prompts "fledgling", "memory reappearance", "return to reality" appeared on the screen, Zhang Lexing used the arrow keys to move the cursor to "fledgling", and then pressed the space bar, and the screen slowly went black......

With a "bell", Li Xiaoyao was awakened from a sweet dream and found that he had fallen to the floor, and in front of him was an angry aunt holding a pot.

Aunt Li crossed her waist and shouted angrily: "Li Xiaoyao! You kid has itchy skin, and you are sleeping here again!"

"Oops...... It hurts!" Li Xiaoyao touched his head and wailed.

"You're daydreaming again! You're not too young, you're crazy all day long, and you don't learn to do serious things!" Aunt Li pushed Li Xiaoyao, who was lying on the ground, with her foot: "Get up, don't pretend!"

Li Xiaoyao quickly got up from the ground, and said with a serious face: "Auntie, don't take a pot or shovel every time you wake someone up, it will kill people! Our wooden bed is not reliable, if I fall to my death, our Li family will be doomed!"

Aunt Li said disdainfully: "Don't you wake you up like this? Anyway, you have also learned carpentry from Master Lin for a few months, and you won't repair it yourself if the bed is not strong!

"Then how did my father marry my mother?"

"Hmph! Your mother is also the same as your father, married to our Li family, and doesn't do needlework, you know that following your father is crazy all over the world!"

……

Li Xiaoyao asked, "There are guests coming to the door early in the morning?"

Aunt Li walked halfway, turned around and said, "Yes, don't come over and help quickly!"

After the aunt left, Li Xiaoyao stretched his waist and said angrily: "It's really boring, I want people to do this and that early in the morning, fortunately, I was prepared." ”

Li Xiaoyao pushed open the door panel of the secret passage, and was about to slip away, when suddenly the aunt's voice came from outside: "Xiaoyao! What are you doing in the room? Come out and help greet the guests." ”

The aunt stared too closely, and Li Xiaoyao didn't want to be arrested before she went out, so she had to agree: "Oh! I'll be here soon." ”

After leaving his room, Li Xiaoyao came to the corridor on the second floor, and didn't go far before he met his aunt and several guests dressed as Miao people. After seeing Li Xiaoyao coming, Aunt Li scolded dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, so slow!"

……

After sending a few guests, Li Xiaoyao took on the task of delivering wine and food, and by the way, he also received a tip of 500 Wen. After delivering the wine and food, and using the osmanthus wine that the guests didn't want to send the drunken Taoist priest at the door, Li Xiaoyao received the task of buying fish and shrimp from his aunt, and he could finally walk out of the inn.

Here Zhang Lexing also found something different, when Li Xiaoyao turned out fruits and glutinous rice cakes, he was taught a lesson by his aunt's ears, and she also reminded Li Xiaoyao that when you go outside, don't rummage around other people's things, otherwise you may be wanted by the Yamen.

"Boss,This is a system restriction that we deliberately added.,After all, the protagonist is a future hero.,If you learn from other role-playing games, you can go to other people's houses and rummage around.,It won't look good.。 Zhan Jun explained beside him.

"It's funny. Zhang Lexing nodded and continued to wander around the game.

Li Xiaoyao walked out of the inn and came to Shengyu Village. There were two aunts washing clothes at the well at the entrance of the inn, and a woman feeding the chickens next to her. Zhang Lexing observed for a while and found that these NPCs were not like ordinary RPG games, just repeating fixed actions. After a while, the two laundry aunts finished washing their clothes and left the well with the basin, and the woman fed the chickens for a while and walked away, and even the chickens did not know where to go to play after they were full.

Zhang Lexing noticed that the shadows on the ground seemed to have changed over time, and it seemed that the game still had time passing, which was really interesting.

Just when he was proud, Li Xiaoyao suddenly heard an angry roar from behind: "Li Xiaoyao! You slacker, what are you doing here in a daze, it's noon, what about the fish and shrimp I asked you to buy?"

Li Xiaoyao hesitated and said: "Auntie, I'm not in a daze, I'm actually thinking about life, what are people living in this world for?"

With a "bell", a spatula smashed on Li Xiaoyao's head, and the aunt's roar sounded again: "Think about it, don't go buy it quickly, it's too late." ”

"Boss, it's like this, we added a time control into it, each NPC will have its own work and rest time, and there will be a time period for doing anything, and when the time is up, the NPC will turn to other things. For example, the NPCs who were washing clothes by the well, we set a 30-minute laundry time, so you can see them wash their clothes for a while and then leave with the basin. If you walk some distance down, you'll see newly built racks for drying clothes. Zhan Jun explained again: "As for Li Xiaoyao's aunt coming out, it's because of the time control of the mission. In this world we designed, there is a time lapse, and some time-limited tasks can't be unlimited, so we added a task time limit, when the time is approaching, NPCs will take the initiative to come to the protagonist to remind, of course, different NPCs remind in different ways. ”

"It's quite interesting, I didn't expect you to actually make what was discussed. Zhang Lexing continues to control the protagonist of the game as he wanders around.

Along the gravel road in the village, Li Xiaoyao walked to the vegetable market, and on the way he met Xianglan, who was interesting to him, and after a few jokes, Li Xiaoyao came to the vegetable market.

The vegetable market in Shengyu Village is very small, with a total of six stalls, selling vegetables, fruits, pork, seafood, wine, steamed buns and other items. Li Xiaoyao came to the seafood stall and asked, only to know that due to the strong wind and waves in the past few days, the shrimp were not caught, and the number of fish was very small. In order to save Aunt Hui's life, Li Xiaoyao planned to go to Xianling Island to obtain the elixir after a little preparation. When he came to the wharf near the vegetable market, Li Xiaoyao asked several people, all of whom said that the sea was rough and unwilling to go to sea, and finally the kind-hearted Fourth Brother Zhang agreed, and the fishing boat carried Li Xiaoyao to Xianling Island slowly......

On Xianling Island, Li Xiaoyao didn't go far, and began to encounter some grass demons dangling on the road. picked one at random, Li Xiaoyao rushed headlong, and the battle began......

The two grass demons stood on the left, and Li Xiaoyao stood on the right, with a progress bar moving above their heads.

"Boss, this is the real-time combat system we designed, the enemy and the enemy have different lengths of progress bars according to different speed values, and the progress bar can be set for the character to attack and target during the movement of the progress bar, and the character will start attacking according to the set after the progress bar is full. Zhan Jun pointed to the progress bar on the screen and explained.

Zhang Lexing chose an ordinary attack, targeting the grass demon on the left, and soon the progress bar on Li Xiaoyao's head came to an end and began to flicker, and he rushed to the grass demon with a swoop and stabbed a sword......

After fighting a few grass demons, the end of the road ahead was blocked by a huge rock, and Li had no way out.

"Boss,Actually, it's because the image material hasn't been added yet.,So we've made a restriction here.,This version can only be played here.,But you can already experience part of the system settings.。 In about five months, the second version of the demo will be completed, and it will already be a relatively complete demo version, basically everything that should be added will be added, such as different enemy encounter modes in the combat system (normal, first attack, enemy sneak attack, siege and flank attack), large map mode, transportation system, etc. ”

Zhang Lexing looked at the picture on the screen again, although it was a little different from the impression, but it could always evoke his own memories. Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Lexing stood up, came to Zhan Jun's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Do a good job, you must come up with a high-quality product." ”

Zhan Jun nodded and said, "Boss, I will definitely take a good look at it, and I promise that I will complete the task on time and with quality." ”

……

After seeing the situation of the project team of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Zhang Lexing came to the next compartment to see what the American ARPG led by Mike Ronald and John Fermax looked like. Speaking of which, this game is really mysterious, it's been almost half a year, and the name hasn't even been decided, just an internal development codename "Obsidian".

When Zhang Lexing arrived at Mike Ronald's studio, he was busy debugging something on the computer, which looked like a turn-based RPG game from the screen.

Gently patting Mike Ronald on the shoulder, Zhang Lexing asked, "Mike, is this your obsidian?"

Mike Ronald looked back and said, "Yes boss, it's done now, do you want to take a look." ”

"Okay, Mike, you can demonstrate it. ”

Mike Ronald restarts the game running on his computer, and a beautiful medieval-style background appears on the screen, with some scrolling English in the middle of the text:

"The kingdom of Bofit was built on the Weeping Plains and is protected by the Ninth Legion, which claims to be the most elite in the world. The kingdom of Bofit is made up of many cultures and peoples, most of the people worship the ancient hero Asunai, the dwarves can coexist peacefully with humans, and the Zug are allowed to have autonomy.

However, despite the defense of the country by the archmage Merlin and the Ninth Legion, the kingdom is still in great danger, the king is imprisoned by the dark king Gant, and the kingdom is threatened by the kugs, the undead, and other magical beasts.

In this era of chaos, a young farmer (the protagonist) in the countryside of Abbey Heights, some distance from Depp Town, decides to embark on a journey to free the kingdom of Bofitt because of the death of his friend Norrick......

The scrolling subtitles seem to be an introduction to the background of the game's story, but it's too simple, not even a cutscene or anything, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but ask: "Mike, this piece is too simple, isn't it?" ”

"Alas," Mike Ronald sighed and said, "Boss, there's no way, there are few experienced people in our group, and they can deal with static pictures, but they can't do animation at all." And there is also a lack of equipment for animation, I heard Miss Chu say that the equipment was bought but couldn't be shipped in, so I had to use this form. ”

"I didn't expect this kind of thing, and it is estimated that most of it is due to a technical blockade. Zhang Lexing thought in his heart: "Fortunately, there is already a computer CG production company with quite good technical strength in Hong Kong, otherwise how will I take advantage of the game's cutscenes in the future." ”

Thinking of this, Lexing took out a business card and handed it to Mike Ronald, and then said: "Mike, I have a company in Hong Kong that specializes in computer CG, and now since the company's own strength cannot meet the requirements, it is better to outsource the cutscene part of your project." ”

"Oriental Shen Yun?" Mike Ronald took the business card and looked at it, and asked suspiciously, "Boss, is this company's technical strength good?"

"Of course, I've heard of Industrial Light & Magic, there are many people in this company who have worked in Industrial Light & Magic, and Oriental Shen Yun's equipment is as good as Industrial Light & Magic. Have you seen last year's "Terminator 2", the liquid robot in it is jointly produced by Industrial Light and Magic and Oriental Shen Yun, even if you want to make the effect of Star Wars. ”

"No problem, boss, I'll get back to you later. Mike Ronald's worst fears were solved, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he happily continued to demonstrate his obsidian.
