Chapter 581: "Legend" If there is no PK red name
Yang Yun lowered his head and looked at the report, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't say a word, this appearance made Inoue Yanxiong and Zhang Guoqiang feel uneasy, and they had no confidence at all.
As for the design of the second-generation online game graphical MUD, whether this model has a future and a way to make money, the two have long argued.
In fact, Longteng Company has long had technical reserves in related aspects, such as the collation of game rules such as DND, the design mode of RPG games such as "Diablo", and the creation templates of many Japanese-style RPG games.
Longteng's programmers have a wealth of experience in the design of the world's view and rules of the new game, and making a text MUD game is really a piece of cake - in fact, as long as you get the open source code, anyone can make a text version of "Dragon Babu", which Zhang Guoqiang did.
But over the years, Yang Yun has not mentioned the development of text MUD games, and the two of them are very sure that Yang Yun really hasn't said a word, Yang Yun is just constantly emphasizing the importance of online games, but he himself is the weather vane but there is no movement.
So Yang Yun's attitude is intriguing, outsiders can't understand it, the focus of the dispute between Inoue Yanxiong and Zhang Guoqiang is here, the development of online games is definitely an important part of Longteng Company in the future, but Yang Yun deliberately ignores the text MUD, because it doesn't make money? Or is it because it has no development value? Or is it for some other special reason?
"Mr. Yang, I want to ask, are you not optimistic about text MUD type online games?" Zhang Guoqiang couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm!"
Yang Yun replied casually and continued to look down, his answer made Zhang Guoqiang and Inoue Yanxiong feel relieved. The two looked at each other and laughed. That's it.
Yang Yun really thinks so, the text version of the MUD is for him. It didn't make any commercial sense, and he wasn't interested in it at all, so he didn't bother to speak.
And the name of China's first domestic MUD online game is also unattractive to Yang Yun, Longteng has done well enough, and this kind of name has no effect on it at all.
If it is just to grab this title, Longteng will monopolize the fledgling Chinese online game market, so entering the online game industry too early will only make competitors frightened, and there is no courage to fight with Longteng at all. have taken the initiative to retreat, and players will only look forward to the high-quality MUD of Longteng, who cares about non-Longteng productions? This can be a big disincentive for other people to create.
Yang Yun knew very well in his heart that the growth of China's first generation of MUD "great gods" and "great wizards" originated from these Chinese originator MUD games, and if he invaded too early, it would discourage quite a few programmers, which was not good for the overall environment of the entire game industry.
However, the second-generation graphic MUD, Yang Yun still has no intention of giving up. In particular, it is the first large-scale graphic MUD with high-end atmosphere and grade in the world.
"Although I am not optimistic about text MUD, it does not mean that I will not be involved in online games. Guoqiang, regardless of whether the team of Ark Word is willing to join Longteng or not, we have to develop a graphic version of the MUD game. That is, image-based MMORPG! ”
M What O What? Everyone didn't understand, what is an MMORPG? No one has heard of it.
Yang Yun explained with a smile: "Large, multi-person. Online, role-playing. You can understand it as a Dark World Realm that can accommodate thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. ”
"That's an exaggeration! Diablo does have networking capabilities, how can it accommodate tens of thousands of players at the same time? It is impossible for a personal computer to perform such a complex function. Can't afford it! Zhang Guoqiang couldn't believe it, shook his head and said.
"Of course, PCs weren't possible, so we had to rebuild everything we had, the game world, the rules of the game, everything had to be changed to match the settings of multiplayer simultaneous online games. The main program runs on the server, and the players use the client to exchange data with the main program, and after getting the response from the server, it is parsed on the personal computer. In this way, the core rules and calculations can be implemented on the server side, and the environment changes in the settings of the respective client. ”
Yang Yun remembers that the first graphical multiplayer RPG game in the world was Origin's "Genesis OL", and the publisher was EA, but as early as a few years ago, Origin was acquired by EA.
Of course, it is impossible for Origin's "Genesis" series to obtain copyrights, and Yang Yun can only find a way to develop similar games, which is bound to clash head-on with "Genesis Online" and compete for market dominance.
But the world's first graphical RPG is just too good, Genesis is a great single-player game, pioneering the graphics game setting in 1980, and while those images may seem too sparse to a modern person like Yang Yun, the shock it brought to the global gaming world at the time was unparalleled.
This kind of grandfather's game, from 1980 has continued to sell well for 17 years, until Origin launched the "Genesis OnLine" version, this graphical interface of the online game once again conquered the entire Western world, this game only can't be imagined, there is nothing that can't be done, even in 2014, almost all the world's online game settings can be found in "Genesis Online".
What about "Legends" and "World of Warcraft" that have swept the world? The same plagiarism is modeled on the setting of "Genesis Online", and then they are redeveloped, I have to say, this is an epoch-making masterpiece.
Zhang Guoqiang let out a long breath, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "Fortunately, we have also considered this model, you see, this is our plan." We can design the game as a virtual round table based on the Internet, surrounded by thousands of gamers, and as long as we have the rules in place and the game is powerful enough, we can make it into a real-time RPG without having players have to wait in turns. ”
Yang Yun nodded: "The idea is right." Let's talk about your game thinking. ”
"We have two settings, one is Eastern fantasy and the other is Western magic, and we are not sure which one to choose for the time being. Oriental fantasy is mainly based on fairy tales, integrating some familiar magic and force into it. Western Fantasy intends to adopt the form of Dungeons and Dragons, adding medieval knights, dark magic, elves and dwarves. ”
"But the fairy heroes in the oriental fantasy, the understanding of the way of heaven, the fate of the cycle of life and death, and the interpretation of chivalry, are you sure that they will be recognized by other people in the world? How are you going to deal with this? Yang Yun pointed to the crux of the matter, he really hadn't seen foreigners like Xianxia.
In order to promote this kind of game, Yang Yun has been advertising in professional game magazines such as "Popular Software" and "Game Pass" for a long time, and the ratings are the highest level of platinum palace, and new content is exposed every three or five times, all of which have a good reputation, just to promote the concept of Chinese Xianxia to the whole world.
But the education received by people in the Western world is completely different from that of Chinese, they can accept magic, undead, dragons, but they can't accept flying swords, five elements, yin and yang gossip, and they feel inexplicable about the concepts of "martial arts" and "chivalry".
Chinese believe that human nature is inherently good, and it is better to punish evil than to promote good, while Westerners believe that human nature is inherently evil and the fittest survive.
Chinese like to form gangs and engage in small groups, martial arts novels and fairy games in the sect small groups and rivers and lakes righteousness everywhere, brotherhood, buddy righteousness, this is the most common words on the lips of Chinese, dare to bully my brother and tease my horse, I call people to kill you until you can't get out of the city, kill until you can't play the game, unless you kneel and sing conquest to spare you.
Westerners advocate gentleman and chivalry, and most of the corresponding games promote humility, integrity, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and loyalty.
This made Yang Yun feel really helpless, he knew very well that any world must have a corresponding moral system to measure the level of behavior between people, whether this world is real, illusory, simple, or complex, the moral system is the most important part of the rules of the game.
In order to change the impression of oriental fantasy in the hearts of game fans in the world, it is necessary to add all Chinese games to the moral system of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and other cultures, so that the morality of oriental culture in reality is reflected in the game, which is definitely stronger than chivalry!
But in that case, Yang Yun is trying to overturn the game design model of the whole of Asia, and the online games of China, Japan and South Korea must be changed, and the malicious PK of the red name in "Legend" cannot exist, because the murderer must pay for his life, not be locked up in the red name village and hang the red name.
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Yun had a headache!
Zhang Guoqiang nodded: "It's just that considering the problem that foreigners can't understand Chinese culture, we want to come up with two versions, Oriental Fantasy is only used as a substitute game, and the main focus is on the setting of Western Magic." ”
Yang Yun was speechless, this is indeed the wisest choice, in the current network coverage is not extensive enough, only to find a way to recruit players from all over the world, so the Eastern fantasy is indeed not as attractive as the Western magic.
However, Yang Yun was still unwilling and was about to say something, but after thinking about it, he held back and asked, "Tell me about the details of your Western magic type." ”
Zhang Guoqiang said: "This is Longteng's first multiplayer game, and we intend to position it as the second world of people on the virtual network, so we tentatively named the game "New World World," Zhang said. ”
