Chapter 063: Signing a contract with Cheng Long

The negotiation with Cheng Long went smoothly and he was very happy, and Yang Yun finally persuaded him.

Longteng Entertainment and Games signed a series of cooperation agreements with Cheng Long China, under which Cheng Long endorsed the Longteng Learning Machine, and Longteng created a fighting game called Dragon-Fighters to fight against Nintendo's Double-Dragon game.

This dragon warrior game, which is also a clichΓ© background for heroes to save beauty, takes place on the thirteenth street occupied by the black gang in Los Angeles, Cheng Long in order to save his girlfriend who was kidnapped and kidnapped by gangsters, and his brother Cheng Hu started a bloody battle, breaking into the lair of the evil Shili and fighting bloodily.

With only two AB keys, there are really not many actions that can be accomplished by 8-bit FC game consoles.

In the double dragon, Bruce Lee faces to the right, pressing A is a frontal punch, and B is a reverse kick; If you are facing left, pressing A is a reverse kick and B is a frontal punch, which feels a bit tricky to operate.

The Dragon Warrior game has been changed, and the left and right swing control of the character is faster, A is a frontal punch, B is a frontal kick, and at the same time, you can use the combination of left and right direction and AB buttons to achieve the function of pointing where to hit and who to kick.

The character in the double dragon jumps up, is to press the AB key at the same time to control, and then press A or B at the highest point of the jump, you can cast a whirlwind leg, there is a squat action after landing, press the A button at the moment of squatting, it is a landing punch, basically the soldier dies in one move, and then when hitting the enemy, if you hit the arms and top knees, you can play the special effect of falling over the shoulder.

The Dragon Warrior adopts the same design, but with slight improvements in the details to make it more reasonable.

For example, the whirlwind leg in the double dragon needs to press the A or B button at the highest point of the jump to release, this move controls the time of the button according to the height of the eye, and it is difficult to succeed at first, most players practice this move, jump up and kick the leg.

Dragon Warrior, on the other hand, uses the most common design of arcade machines, where you can successfully kick the whirlwind leg by pressing the AB button to jump up and then press both AB keys at the same time, without having to wait for the character to jump to the top.

It's just that this emergency whirlwind leg will make itself lose a little health bar after hitting the enemy, which is the same as the arcade character's ultimate, which belongs to life-saving moves, invincible to sell blood to save lives.

Another example is that Bruce Lee can pick up all kinds of weapons, daggers, chains, carbines, etc., and the enemies are sexy girls, airplane head boys, bald thugs, red men and green women's miscellaneous fish, etc.

Dragon Warrior Mid-range Dragon will use more weapons, and at the same time add more small-volume activity props, bricks, gasoline barrels, beer bottles, etc., as a one-time hidden weapon thrown out to cause slight damage to the enemy, and large weapons such as baseball bats, giant wrenches, etc., press the AB button to throw the weapon in your hand, causing huge damage to the enemy, and the enemy settings are also richer, adding black police cymbals, drag racing parties, making the customs clearance plot more complicated.

zuihou, the most distinctive, and what Yang Yun is most proud of, is that Cheng Long and Cheng Hu can cooperate with each other in doubles, and they basically can't get up from the small boss and the boss.

This is a trick that many arcades like to use, so that multiple players play at the same time, play with each other, so that the game will be more particular about jishu, attracting players to run in and try over and over again, and will take the initiative to study how to bend the creeps over, and then fall over the shoulder, and then hand it over to their companions to seamlessly connect a round of hitting moves, so that players have endless aftertaste.

In addition, the artist has optimized the scene, made a lot of basic background drawing, the level has become more and richer, the background music is more enthusiastic, and it is divided into three modes according to difficulty: simple, nightmare, and hell, and theoretically the game size will reach twice the capacity of the double dragon.

Yang Yun handed over these things to Zhang Guoqiang, asked for money, asked for money, asked for people, he personally went to various universities to find people, and pulled huge advertisements on the headquarters building of Longteng Company for recruitment.

Chinese are much more diligent than the Japanese, and the labor cost is even cheaper than the Japanese dare not imagine, so Longteng Company uses people to pile up, and it can also quickly pile up a boutique game.

……

……

In the Dragon Laboratory, all the members of the FC Reel game project team are receiving Yang Yun's advice and guidance.

The Chinese version of the Double Dragon, that is, the game of Dragon Warrior, has much more complex jishu content than the Saloman snake, and Yang Yun attaches great importance to it.

First of all, it's a pseudo-full-width scrolling game, in addition to moving left and right, you can also enter various room dungeons, and you can also climb stairs to get to the room, but you will die if you fall down.

In programmer terms, once the character model is out of the data range, there will be a data overflow, and the spawn point needs to be reset, resurrected and then fought.

Then, due to the large set and many levels, the artist had the heaviest task, so they needed to make multiple background images and make restrictions on specific areas, boxes could not be walked, walls could not be crossed, and burps when they fell off cliffs.

Third, Zhang Guoqiang has to control the movements of the two brothers, Cheng Long and Cheng Hu, walking, jumping, punching and kicking, hooking, whirlwind legs, and combos, all of which must have standard program control.

zuihou is to fight against the enemy.,The trajectory of the hidden weapon attack is reasonable (you can hide and block),The protagonist's attack must have priority (the protagonist's control code takes precedence when contacting NPCs),The enemy has a certain intelligence (there are three difficulties of simple nightmare hell.,It's just that the degree of brain damage is different.)。

These things are easy to say, but Zhang Guoqiang's head has begun to hurt, he used to do Saroman Snake and Inoue Yanxiong, but now there is a more difficult dragon warrior game, or he is the leader in design and development, and he can't help but feel two or three points empty.

Zhang Guoqiang said in front of six or seven of his subordinates: "Mr. Yang, your request is too detailed, right?" ”

Yang Yun patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Guoqiang, someone has thought through all the details for you, it's much better than your eyes blackened, right?" Hurry up and work, well done, give you a big red envelope, if you don't do well, I will arrange your group to go to work in the staff dormitory in the backyard......"

Zhang Guoqiang was full of excitement, hurriedly corrected his concept, and threw himself into the battle with abundant energy.

The game of Dragon Warrior was decided like this, and another localized red fortress, Yang Yun decided, using the name Death Squad, and waiting for the Dragon Warrior game to start formal coding and debugging, and then the art team will deal with the map first.

The localized Red Fortress Death Squad will fully adopt the story script provided by Cheng Jiaban, which is the first tentative combination of game and movie, which is also an important reason for attracting Cheng Long and Longteng to cooperate!

For this classic full-frame game, Cheng Long suggested using the same type of Hollywood movie script, but he did not have a ready-made manuscript in his hand for the time being, and he needed to collect this information through friends in the United States.

Yang Yun agreed, he was not in a hurry to get on the horse, of course, while waiting for Cheng Long's news, he would not be idle, Alexey is also in the United States, KTT is also a little famous in the North American game industry, and he has a lot of friends, maybe he will have some good clues over there.

Yang Yun lost the matter of filming an advertisement with Cheng Long to Fang Huimin, and next, Yang Yun took Jiang Shaoyun to Beijing University.

His initial idea was to find a few experts in the history of the Three Kingdoms in the history department of Jingcheng University, and then invite these expert teams to write scripts, write lines, set up plots, and correct unreasonable mistakes for his Three Kingdoms game.

But under the initial contact, Yang Yun was disappointed.

The professors and scholars of Jingcheng University have the unique arrogance of literati, and they heard that some companies are ready to sponsor the Three Kingdoms Study, and the professors and scholars have come out, but when they meet, they find that they are two young men who have not grown together, and when they hear that the other party is making games, they leave without looking back.

Making games, playing games, has always been inconsistent with the mainstream of Chinese society.

Funding for these academic experts in the university to publish books on the Three Kingdoms subject If they are willing, they can go to the pole and ask for it, and they can do jishu support for the Three Kingdoms game, and no matter how much money they give, no one will pay attention to it.

And it's fair to say that the experts are quite contemptuous of the gaming industry.

Jingcheng University closed the door, and Yang Yun and Jiang Shaoyun could only return in a huff, helpless.

Jiang Shaoyun looked angry: "These pedantic old masters! What have become of each Qinggao? I haven't looked at us from beginning to end! ”

Yang Yun smiled faintly: "These experts from Beijing University have a high diploma, high academic status, and old age, and their thinking can't keep up with our young people, and there are not many people they can afford to look down on." Besides, our purpose is not pure, under the banner of spreading the culture of the Three Kingdoms to the whole Shijie, in fact, it is still mainly to make money, and what the professor said is right. ”

Jiang Shaoyun was stunned: "Mr. Yang, they treat us like this, and you still say good things for them?" Deng Gong has said that we must vigorously develop the economy, without us making money for the country, without our desperate export to earn foreign exchange to contribute to the country, how can there be financial allocation to these old masters? ”

Yang Yun waved his hand and comforted: "Although material life is very important, people still have to have some spiritual pursuits, and people have their own ambitions and cannot be forced." They don't want to do economics, they just want to do research, so we won't bother people. And intellectuals are like this, aren't they the stinky old nine who criticized the fight a few years ago? There are many pedantic literati on this shijie, and they are very stubborn, can you save them all? We are full of copper smell, but at least we also contribute to the promotion of the culture of the Three Kingdoms. ”

Jiang Shaoyun was persuaded, sighed and asked, "Then Mr. Yang, where are we going next?" ”

Yang Yun thought for a while: "It is not only the Department of History of Beijing University that does the study of the Three Kingdoms, but other universities should also have it, such as the National People's Congress, Tsinghua University, Beijing Normal University, Minmin University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, right?" No matter how bad it is, let's go to other cities to find it, China is so big, I still don't believe that I can't find an expert who is willing to make a game of the Three Kingdoms for us! ”

Jiang Shaoyun nodded: "Yes!" Mr. Yang, I also inquired with my former colleagues, our Beijing Youth Daily, also attaches great importance to traditional history and culture, and maybe there are also acquaintances with experts and scholars. ”

Yang Yun agreed: "Let's just say that, we are divided into two ways, I will go to the Academy of Social Sciences, you go to ask colleagues, you must find the right person as soon as possible." ”
