Blizzard and several people looked at Yang Yun and slowly realized that something was wrong, Yang Yun's face was not happy and affirmative, but showed a depressed and helpless expression.

Yang Yun sighed: "I don't know how you came up with the idea of turn-based system, but I can only say that Diablo is not suitable for this model!" ”

Everyone in Blizzard was stunned, but they had thought about it for a long time, wouldn't Longteng buy them and let them make games for the video game platform? And obviously, the game performance of the SS platform far exceeds the performance of the PC under the DOS operating system, and their artists strongly recommended making the SS version, and successfully persuaded everyone, but I didn't expect to be vetoed by Yang Yun.

Yang Yun explained: "Abandon the turn-based system and change to real-time mode!" I don't need to step on mines, I don't need you to go back and forth. Players only need to control a hero, using a fighting game-like approach, close quarters, heavy hits, or a variety of dazzling melee moves. If it's a ranged class, calculate the coordinates between the player and the enemy, and animate the movement of magic or arrows. ”

Marcos discussed with David, and it was not impossible to do this, changing to a real-time combat mode, which could keep their current enemy proximity setting, but just remove the turn combat module and replace it with a real-time calculation program for the enemy's health.

"Do you really want to change that?" Marcos also wanted to fight for it, changing it to real-time combat, and there were many systems that had to be torn down and redone.

Yang Yun nodded: "Yes, you must listen to me at this point." Marcos, just now in the restaurant. I told you and Eric. I want you vultures, which is now Blizzard. Continue to maintain the way of thinking and inspiration of your European and American employees, regardless of how our other games are done. I need you to be your own and not the same! ”

Marcos asked, "But if it is a game, such as a wizard casting magic, we need to determine the trajectory of the magic according to the angle and direction of the player's casting, and whether it can hit the enemy needs to be calculated, and many systems have to be changed." ”

Yang Yun said: "Repositioning requires precise coordinates, so I just asked you, the SS's joystick, in controlling the positioning of the cursor. How different is it from a mouse? If you guys can use a joystick instead of a mouse, then Diablo can be made on the SS platform, and if not, only on PC. ”

Marcos, Eric, David, the three main designers were speechless, and they suddenly felt that they had lost their autonomy by joining the Dragon. The settings they thought of were all pushed down by Yang Yun, and none of them were adopted.

And they don't know the big picture of the game background that they have worked so hard to set up. The game interface and game characters will also be greatly modified by Yang Yun. You can only take one step at a time.

Selfishly, SS is certainly the best gaming platform. Let Diablo 1 compete with Sony PS on the SS platform, and it will definitely give the other party a heavy blow. So he left Marcos a chance to test and verify.

Longteng has a ready-made SS platform development kit, Yang Yun asked Zhang Guoqiang to send a senior programmer, after communicating with David, it took an hour, a new demo of the SS platform began to take shape, you can modify the code on the test machine while viewing the effect.

Marcos holds the joystick and pushes his left thumb on the joystick, and the cursor on the TV screen responds and moves a little slowly.

"Improved responsiveness!" Marcos asked David to modify the source code, and then reconstruct the runner, and the cursor was much more responsive, and with a slight push of the joystick, the cursor could fly from the far right to the far left of the TV screen.

Yang Yun took the handle and moved it tentatively for a while, at first he was definitely not used to this way of operation, how convenient the mouse is, and it is a mouse that walks the world, and the left and right buttons of the mouse can release spells.

Of course, the keyboard is also very useful, with shortcuts from F1 to F8, the number 1234 and other quick drugging buttons, as well as M to open maps, W to change main and off-hand weapons, and so on.

Developing a set of dedicated mouse and keyboard peripherals for the SS platform? And then make Diablo 1 a game that supports keyboard and mouse device response?

In doing so, it triggered the very foundation of video games! Yang Yun was not sure for a while whether this was appropriate or not.

The TV game console does not support the PC hardware keyboard and mouse, and the PC console does not support the controller and joystick, which is a tacit understanding between two different game platforms, and everything is a matter of interest.

Yang Yunzhi said that Sony did not reluctantly launch Sony's special keyboard and mouse until the development of PS2, using a USB interface, and the device price is very expensive.

In addition, all PS platform game production companies are accustomed to using supporting game development kits to design, instead of spending manpower and financial resources to develop keyboard and mouse functions, so as to shorten the development cycle, reduce research and development costs, reduce the price of games, and obtain higher sales.

Now Sega, Nintendo, and Sony, although they fight to the death, there is still a unified tacit understanding in this regard, and everyone does not develop keyboard and mouse peripherals.

It took Nintendo and Sega a decade to fix consumers' gaming habits in their living rooms at home, and gamers in Europe, the United States and Japan have become accustomed to sitting on the couch and comfortably holding the controller to control the game.

If these gamers find that the mouse and keyboard can also bring a different gaming experience, and it is more convenient, they can go around the world with a mouse, and the keyboard shortcuts are far more convenient than the controller operation, they are likely to leave the sofa, out of the living room, into the study, into the camp of PC games.

After the PC enters ordinary households, and players are familiar with and rely on the operation habits of the PC, it is quite difficult to summon these players to the living room again!

"What do you think? How fast are the joysticks and mice responding to the cursor? Yang Yun decided to listen to the opinions of others first.

Several people took the handle to get used to it for a while, and they all said that there was no big problem.

Yang Yun decided to put this question aside for a while and move on to another small detail that made him tangled up.

"Don't worry about the platform, let's get back to the game, David, did you make a demo of the game's professional character?"

David nodded, and opened another program on his PC.

This is the login interface of Diablo 1, the words Diablo are simply simple and cute, there is no raging flame, and there is no momentum rushing to the face, but considering that this is just a Demo, Yang Yun let go of this detail.

Single-player mode, multiplayer mode, help, exit, just these four options.

After entering the single-player mode, three class names appeared in front of Yang Yun's eyes, Yang Yun shook his head and said, "Marcos, it's not enough, 3 heroes are far from enough." I remember you mentioned the five classes of Druid, Barbarian, Assassin, Necromancer and Witch, why don't you use them? ”

Marcos explained, "As I thought, the Barbarians, the Assassins, and the Monks, we did it in the expansion, which would ensure continuity and long-lasting appeal. ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "Give up this expansion, there is no point in doing this, it is enough for us to do everything at once." In Diablo 1, in addition to Warrior, Rogge, and Wizard, the Monk class is added. As for the Barbarians, Assassins, Druids and Necromancers, plus if there are more, we stay in Diablo 2 to add. ”

There are also Amazons and Paladins in Diablo 2, and after the seven major classes are gathered, the Dark World is full of infinite charm!

Marcos agreed, the profession of monk is his imaginary believer, he is a karate master, except for the monk's exclusive club, as long as he takes other weapons, the attack power will be reduced.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yun couldn't help but smile and said: "Seeing the monk reminds me of a "Famous General" arcade game designed by Long Teng a few years ago, in which there is a Shaolin stick monk. Marcos, I would be very happy if you could connect this hero with the mysterious East! ”

Everyone laughed, Mr. Long Teng's public speech not long ago really made the world judge him again.

Yang Yun is Chinese, without affecting the plot of the movie, as many Chinese actors as possible, this kind of thing was said by him in person, not only did not make others feel abrupt, but admired his straightforwardness and true feelings.

Marcos said half-jokingly and half-flatteringly: "Mr. Yang, if one monk is not enough, I can let the demon slaying and demon slaying Taoist in the Eastern Immortal Heroes join as an adventurer......"

"Ahem......"

Yang Yun couldn't stand this kind of Chiguoguo's sycophancy, and in the laughter of others, he waved his hand and rejected the proposal: "It's better to do your Western Magic!" Oops, yes! You actually know the Taoist priests of China......"

After the joke, the characters are all confirmed, and here are the game skills and small details.

The launch of "Diablo 1" has affected almost the entire European and American game industry, and the shadow of Diablo 1 can be seen in many online games and stand-alone games in later generations, such as the red and blue bottle supply on the belt, wrapping, division of human equipment parts, etc.

Of course, Yang Yun will not miss these, the Hradic cube is a space treasure that appears in Diablo 2, so in order to solve the shortage of bags in Diablo 1, he added the backpack system in the World of Warcraft to it.

Of course, there are no tailors, you can't make bags, you can only buy them at a high price from the grocer, or you can drop them by killing the enemy's humanoid bosses.

As for runes and gems, that is the proudest thing in Diablo 2: Doom, the words of runes are the tireless pursuit of many Diablo fans, so let's stay in the next version to amaze players!

After these were confirmed, Blizzard began to refine the plot and map drawing, and the Diablo 1 project officially began.

And when Yang Yun returned to his office, he had to think carefully about whether it was necessary to develop SS special keyboard and mouse peripherals! (To be continued......)
