Chapter 400: Condor changes its name to Blizzard

"Marcos, how is your vulture task force adapting now?"

"Not bad! The colleagues are very enthusiastic and the working environment is very comfortable, but they don't know how to use chopsticks yet! ”

In the public cafeteria of Shanghai Longteng R&D Center, in front of a row of long tables by the window in the hall on the second floor, Yang Yun and the Marcos brothers sat face to face, contented with the seafood pasta in front of them, and at the same time watched Eric hold the chopsticks with four fingers, but he couldn't even hold a piece of braised lion's head, and couldn't help laughing.

"Eric, in fact, you don't have to worry so much about Chinese food, the Dragon Canteen is free, there are hundreds of kinds of food, and you can also choose Western food. The chef who cooks Western food has worked in Europe for many years, and the taste is very authentic! ”

Eric smiled: "I also want to follow the local customs as soon as possible, adapt to life in China as soon as possible, and work!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Yun prompted: "But I hope your way of thinking still maintains the European and American style, such as "Diablo", don't make a Chinese-style effect, you must insist on dark magic!" ”

Yang Yun deliberately had dinner with the Marcos brothers, just for the upcoming "Diablo", and after he had dealt with all other urgent matters, he left the whole period of time behind, just to spend in this game, and he wanted to track the whole process.

After the dissolution of Vulture Studio, most of the employees joined the Longteng Shanghai R&D Center, although Yang Yun didn't care about them for two months, but he has been thinking about these young men.

"Let's go, I've got you covered!" After eating, Yang Yun took the initiative to lead the way in front.

Marcos followed. I felt inexplicable, and saw David running over excitedly halfway. Hurriedly pulled him and asked, "What's going on?" ”

David looked at Yang Yun and deliberately didn't speak. It tickled Marcos' heart even more.

When he came to the place where the original Vulture team worked, Yang Yun did not enter the door, but motioned to Marcos to find a surprise by himself.

Eric looked around and noticed a department sign nailed to the door, slightly different from before eating, its name changed from Condor the Vulture to Blizzard!

"This Blizzard ...... Does it make any sense? Marcos looked at Yang Yun and asked uncertainly.

Yang Yun shrugged: "A good luck, but also a personal wish of mine." Hope your programming style is as crazy as a blizzard! ”

This classic name, can't let it disappear, the original Blizzard was acquired by EA, and is working hard to bypass the "Warhammer" world view and make a different Warcraft RPG game.

In this case, Yang Yun doesn't need to be polite, anyway, Vulture was originally the designer of the "Diablo" series, and it is justified for them to inherit the name Blizzard. Well deserved!

"Lads, it's not the name that matters, it's your new idea that matters! Who's going to demo it, check out your ghost game. To what extent? Yang Yun was a little excited, "Diablo" was about to appear in his hands, he was a witness to history!

Marcos greeted. Call David and let him operate the computer. He faced Yang Yun and talked eloquently.

"A game is a world! To learn more about our games. You have to start with the game world view. In the dark world, there are also good and evil, good and chaos, five archangels against seven archdemons. ”

The origin of the universe set by Marcos is somewhat similar to the chaos split, there is a creation god in the void, and the light and darkness in his body collide violently internally, and the universe is formed after exploding.

The light part forms the High Heaven, the five virtues in the body incarnate into the Five Angels, the dark part forms the Flame Hell, and the seven-headed dragon turns into the Seven Demons.

Among them, the archangels correspond to the Archangel Tyrell of Justice, the Archangel Impres, the Archangel of Hope, the Archangel of Hope, the Archangel Izarel of Destiny, and the Archangel Mossar of Wisdom.

And the three ruling demons are Diablo, the king of fear, Memphhisto, the king of hatred, and Baal, the king of destruction, and the other four low-level demon kings, namely Dureel, the king of pain, Andariel, the witch of misery, Azmodan, the king of sin, and Belair, the king of lies.

After Marcos listed these, he drew a circle between the two camps, pointed at it, and said, "This is called the Stone of the World, it is located in the middle of Heaven and Hell, temporarily occupied by the Heaven side, and this place is called the Fortress of Chaos. ”

Then the plot develops, both sides are tired of fighting, the adjutant of the angel Tyrell falls in love with the daughter of the demon Memphisto, steals the stone of the world, and creates the third world outside heaven and hell The continent of St. Hugh Yari, the angel and the demon are combined, have a child, and the human race appears.

In fact, such a view of the world is not difficult to design, Yang Yun feels that if he changes another name, it can even be regarded as another game's world view.

The difficulty lies in the details, Yang Yun is a master of dark game professions, and if you want to make them round, the test is the vulture, that is, the imagination ability of the current Blizzard employees.

Marcos drew a circle from the Stone of the World and introduced: "This is also the continent of St. Hugh, where humans have begun to form their own beliefs after a long period of time, and the barbarians and druids are two branches that pursue strength. The former is huge, strong, courageous and resolute, while the latter is more inclined to natural forces that can change the structure of the body through the environment. ”

OK, the barbarian and the druid have come out, the history of human development can be understood in this way, in the reckless land, of course, you have to protect yourself vigorously, Yang Yun recorded these two people.

Marcos continued: "Of course, there are some people who cannot be as tall and mighty as the barbarians, but they can draw energy from the elements of nature. There is a woman who becomes a Kagestan witch who can control the wind, fire, water and soil, and a man who goes deep into Jane, secluded in a cave on the surface of the principle, exploring the limits of life and death, and becoming the ancestor of the necromancer. ”

Very good, the witch and wizard professions came out, two very interesting professions, Yang Yun smiled and wrote it down.

"The power of humanity is getting stronger and stronger, and the angels and demons stop the war and begin to woo humans to join their camp. When the human tribe is divided in temptation, someone finally realizes that he has become a plaything for angels and demons. A tribe of humans called Fesliger was torn apart and devastated, and the remaining wizards swore to spit on demonic magic forever, and instead of actively using it, they focused on devices and objects, and studied the combat skills in their bodies, the precursors of the Assassin Order. ”

Another one came out, Yang Yun smiled, the assassin would use a small amount of magic, and attack with traps, illusions, Valkyries and other means, but more of them would go into battle themselves.

"The Demon Triumvirate was betrayed and defeated by four of their other men, banishing their souls into the Anthropocene Realm of the Stone of the World, and greatly influencing humanity. The angel Tyrell personally went to the Nether and led a group of human mages to form the Hradim Organization to fight against the Demon Triumvirate, and the leader of this organization is named Tarasia! ”

GOOD! The human story officially debuted, and the name Tarasa immediately awakened Yang Yun's memory, and he didn't know how many times he fought in order to collect a full set of Talasha's green clothes.

"Memphisto was the first to be sealed near Kutras, and Baal was sealed in the desert of Warlock Canyon near Lugoin, and after defeating Baal, Talasha sealed it with his own body as a vessel, and built seven pyramids, one true and six false."

When Yang Yun heard this, he felt that something was not right, in his memory, he had seen the archangel Tyrell pick up the soul stone sealed with Baal, and then insert it into Talasya's chest, at that time he was still angry, because he was an angel but did not have the kindness of an angel, but cruelly used humans to fight against demons.

He raised his hand and asked, "Marcos, what I want to know is that your view of the world is a complete system that has been perfected to the details, or is it just a general framework and story flow?" ”

Marcos replied: "The general framework, the main line is all set up, but the plot details can be adjusted. ”

Yang Yun nodded, so how did Tarasia die, why did Tyrell do this, as long as the Blizzard team can come up, he doesn't need to force it to be a certain statement, you must know that Blizzard itself has revised the plot of 1 and 2 many times.

After receiving Yang Yun's signal to continue, Marcos said, "After Tarasia's death, a mage named Jared Kane re-led Hradim and continued to track down the last Diablo. It took them ten years to track down Diablo in Handuras, seal it up, and establish a town called Tristram and build a Heradic monastery to guard Diablo's soul. ”

Yang Yun sighed secretly in his heart, history is history, what is theirs is theirs, the story of "Diablo 1" is from the only town of Tristram, the player controls the hero, enters the underground to challenge Diablo, and then seals it, this dark world, only Blizzard can do it.

"Since humanity has blocked the Big Three, there must be mutations to have a story to tell. I don't think you would object to the story of the old-fashioned villains who pursue the power of darkness, sell their souls to demons, and then unleash the Big Three, right? ”

When Marcos said this, he stared at Yang Yun the whole time, and the corners of his mouth curled higher and higher.

Yang Yun laughed, how could he not know what Marcos meant? Isn't that the plot in Warcraft 1? In his quest for strength, Naozu teamed up with Kil'Gardan of the Burning Legion, and then tried to betray him, but was later killed and captured in the void to become the Lich King.

"Marcos, I'll sue you for infringement!" Yang Yun joked, "But I like this statement!" ”

Marcos, who was laughing and encouraging, said, "Leorik founded a nation near Tristram, he was a powerful king, but unfortunately he was betrayed by his own men and eventually became a victim. Diablo tried to take possession of Leoric's body, but it failed, and after driving Leorik mad, Diablo took possession of his son's body, and our game began from there. ”

Diablo 1 is here! (To be continued......)
