There are several characteristics that a best-selling arcade game must have.

The first is to make players feel that they have earned their work, that is, after killing the enemy, they will basically explode things, and there must be rich drop rewards.

This is something that all games will have, airplane shooting games are bonus points, bonus weapon systems, and parlay games are all about dropping weapons, coins, supplies, etc.

Second, control the player's endurance.

The Round Table Samurai did not replace the weapon system, so the coins and points correspond to the strength of the character, and after the points reach a certain key point, the character can be upgraded, the defense power is enhanced, the attack power is increased, and the appearance has also changed from ordinary clothes to silver armor, gold helmet and golden sword, which is particularly handsome.

The supplies correspond to the character's blood bar, so that the player's endurance can be improved, of course, you can't supply the whole life to clear the level, so that the boss of the game machine hall is not happy, and you can't be too stingy, so that the character is easy to die, and the player is dissatisfied.

So finding the right balance is the job of the game designer, trying to make it both parties happy.

Thirdly, the special design of the game, the unique selling point, this is a very important point, it must make the player feel unique, in the next ten years, twenty years, when talking about the Knights of the Round Table, the first impression of the memory is these special selling points in the game.

The vegetable and fruit plates, roasted whole pigs, and treasure chests, gold and silver utensils, which were common in the Middle Ages in Europe, all show a unique story background, which is the selling point.

Multiple players can work together, and large supplies and chests can be split, allowing players to eat a portion and share it among other injured teammates. This will not result in the waste of spilling the health bar, which is also a unique cutting feature of the Samurai of the Round Table. There are very few other games that can do prop cutting, which is also a selling point. Yang Yun also knew that there was a big man named Comeback, who had described this awesome cutting skill in detail in his infinite novel.

The upgrade system is a rare novelty in side-scrolling games, which makes players more willing to wear gold armor, hold a golden sword, and wear a heavy military uniform to defeat the enemy, which is even more selling point.

At the same time, the elements of European medieval magic are added, including green and red shocks. Wands, life bonuses, and horseback combat are all things that will be appreciated when it comes to the Knights of the Round Table.

Red Shock and Green Shock are fixed chances, while wands and life rewards, which need players to explore and find by themselves, is the easter egg in the game, and it is also a challenge that attracts countless players. The greatest pleasure lies in the constant exploration and pursuit.

When Yang Yun was a child, he was particularly envious of those masters, seeing them slash on a fruit plate, and suddenly turn into a golden avatar with two lives, or a silver avatar with one life. In an instant, that saliva flowed out, shocking!

And when it's your turn, you slash it down. With a bang, the big fruit bowl turned into a small pineapple. Many years have passed, and he still still hasn't figured out what the principle is.

Of course. The success of Knights of the Round Table, in addition to these designs, is also a very interesting design for its controls and character skills.

After saying the above, Yang Yun looked at Ma Liang, who was honestly making notes in his notebook, and couldn't help laughing.

"How? What are your takeaways? Yang Yun asked.

Ma Liang nodded, thoughtful: "These things are very meaningful, thinking of Capcom and other games of Sega, you can find corresponding ideas, for example, the famous games we made before did follow this concept, and they did sell very well!" ”

Yang Yun smiled secretly, isn't this nonsense, he is much easier to be a summarizer than an innovator, and the Round Table Samurai was originally ahead of the arcade machines of the same era, and now it is made a year in advance, and it will definitely be eye-catching to take it out.

Yang Yun continued: "Let's talk about movements and controls. Last year, I asked you to be a dragon warrior who imitated the game of double dragons, and in the first half of this year, I became a famous general, and now I have made a half-finished electrosperm, and the common nature of these games is to fight all the way, kill and kill. Now I want to add a rare skill to the Samurai of the Round Table called Defense. ”

On the battlefields of Europe, it was common for thousands of men to hedge with spears and shields.

It is very cool to have a strong lethality, bloody and bloody all the way, and kill countless people, but except for heroes like Achilles and Hector, most people will die on the road to becoming heroes.

But having the strongest defense is the foundation of one's own survival, this point of view is quite common in later games, and it attaches great importance to it, such as anti-battle MT and anti-cavalry, which are the absolute core of the team.

But the concept of defense is rarely seen in the early stage of the game's development, fighting a plane is to hit a bullet and explode, playing a game is to be touched by a creep and lose blood, only after the fighting game is generated, there are defensive moves, such as Street Fighter has a block, which can make your blood loss extremely slow.

Added an active defensive move to the Samurai of the Round Table, press A and quickly flick the joystick in the opposite direction, and the hero will raise the weapon in his hand, creating a defensive stance that lasts for 3 seconds, which can resist any form of attack from the enemy.

But if the hero is not attacked by the enemy during this time, it will make the hero tired for the same amount of time, which is very consistent with reality, and the tense muscles hold a door panel in front of him, and everyone's muscles will be sore after a long time.

After being attacked by the enemy after defense, the hero becomes invincible, can slash and hit hard, can pick and attack, can roll to dodge, these are all related to the hero's own attributes, such as the handsome blue guard Lancelot is a pick, the axe Percival can quickly retreat from the battlefield, and the newly added hero Gawain allows him to gain a super fast movement speed.

Add new gameplay and give players more options to choose from, so that players can attract players from the mediocre game to become loyal fans of the Round Table Samurai.

Most of the above content is the spirit of the original Round Table Samurai, which is mixed with a small amount of private goods, and it is also the experience of Yang Yun from looking at games for decades, which is very instructive for the current game production.

Yang Yun talked eloquently, Ma Liang opened his mouth wide, and recorded them one by one in the small book, he is now completely convinced, Mr. Yang is a god-like character, such an exquisite design can be thought of, it is really amazing!

Good game! Absolutely good game! Ma Liang seems to have seen the scene of 10,000 people rushing madly, and it will definitely not be inferior to the popularity of the famous general!

Liu Cixing is stupid, this game and the novel can't match at all, this thinking is too jumpy, right?

Yang Yun smiled: "Da Liu, don't be surprised! You can't imagine how popular the adaptation of a novel into a game will be in the future! The browser game of the Legend of Mortal Immortals, as well as the mobile game adapted from the novels of Sanshao and Tudou, that guy has made countless amounts of money. Hey, I'm telling you what I'm doing, you don't understand! Okay, you've finished the Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table novel and published it first. Don't worry, since I can make Mr. Yi a global best-selling author, I can also let you enter the traditional European and American literature market! ”

Liu Cixing said suddenly: "Mr. Yang, I know that I still have a gap, but I have been working hard. ”

Yang Yun was very satisfied: "Of course, when you finish writing the Warrior of the Round Table, I will give you another task, an epic magic mission!" ”

Ma Liang was envious: "Mr. Yang, give me a chance to show my face, right?" ”

Yang Yun hahadaxiao: "OK, let you appear in the Round Table Samurai, well, just make a model of your current appearance, equip you with a halberd, and be a pikeman!" ”

The Japanese ninja miscellaneous fish in the samurai of the round table must be removed, and the Japanese like to add ninjas to the game.

It's not the first time Yang Yun has done this, last time he removed the ninja from the famous generals and replaced it with a Shaolin stick monk, and this time he removed the ninja and replaced it with a spearman, subtly promoting this unique Chinese weapon.

In the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu was holding Fang Tian's halberd, this simplified version of the halberd weapon appeared among the warriors of the round table, it was not against peace!

The project of the Round Table Samurai was thus decided, Yang Yun handed it over to Ma Liang, allowing him to work together and play freely, as long as Zuihou did not completely subvert Yang Yun's memory, Yang Yun would not force it to be modified to be exactly the same as the original.

Since Ma Liang left Japan, he has been constantly thinking about new projects, in order to find ideas, causing trouble everywhere, and now he is finally energetic, pulling Liu Cixing and leaving, saying that he wants to make a perfect combination of novels and games.

Yang Yun looked at these people and felt very relieved in his heart, maybe in another year or two, he could let them all go and let these excellent programmers display their ambitions to the fullest.

After straightening out domestic matters, Yang Yun came to Japan and began to oversee the release of Pokemon.

There has been no change in Sega's original sales network, and Yang Yun only came for money, and he didn't want to touch every grass and tree for the time being.

Hayabusa Nakayama received Yang Yun, although a month had passed, he still couldn't let go of Yang Yun becoming his boss, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to say hello when they met.

Yang Yun hahadaxiao: "President Zhongshan, we just keep it the same as before, and we don't have to stick to the form." ”

The Pokemon game that everyone is most concerned about has been on the market for three days, and in addition to the purchases from dealers across the country, the reaction from the Shogakukan side came out quickly, and readers love to read Pokemon comics!

Hayabusa Nakayama sighed, "Yang, this game is really ...... Maybe you're right, it's definitely a game that doesn't lose to Super Mario and Tetris! ”

Yang Yun smiled: "It's only been three days, you can see it?" ”

"My two grandsons loved the game and it only took one day to get all the kids around them to buy it," says Nakayama. Yang, you haven't seen the popularity of sales points everywhere! Perhaps, you'll prefer to see the real thing! Come on, let's go to Ginza and see for yourself! (To be continued......)
