Chapter 307: The competition has entered a white-hot state

In terms of gameplay, Yang Yun is exploring an alternative stand-alone version of Warcraft, dividing the original Warcraft into two types: RPG + real-time strategy, one game and two sales.

In a strategic sense, he must preemptively launch the RPG game of Warcraft, and it is confirmed that Longteng is the owner of the Warcraft shijie view, so as to squeeze out Blizzard and retain the brand.

In addition, the RPG games of Dragon Teng are all of deep significance, Fairy Sword expresses aiqing, and Warcraft 1 expresses self-reflection and hints, in the game, you can find a lot of content corresponding to reality, and the game shines into reality.

The Titan of the Creation God can represent the opening of the world by Pangu in China, or the creation of Shijie by the seven heavens of God, and it is the infinite wisdom of the high gods who gave the vitality of the earth, and all things in heaven and earth were alive with the original intention of good order at the beginning of their creation.

Elves and dragons were endowed with civilization and language by the Titans, the earth spirits hidden in the ground were not ignited, and the dominant humans on the ground didn't even know what form they were, and it lasted for 10,000 years, and the humans who suddenly evolved entered the primitive clan society of chaos and grew up in the form of nomadic tribes.

War is an eternal topic for human beings, where there are people, there must be war, and Soladin's conquest tells the player that in order to achieve an empire, the enemy should be conquered, not destroyed.

If they choose to completely destroy the enemy forces, the player will lose nothing but the ruined, empty camp and lose the chance to recruit them forever.

And if the enemy is given equal rights to surrender and ordinary people, the player will gain the support of the military and the people.

After unifying the Terran Empire, there is still a threat from the alien race. The elves' plea for help lets players know that only the Alliance has any hope of survival.

After defeating the trolls. Humanity has entered a period of rapid development, but the problem of the misuse of magic has arisen again. It is particularly prominent in the new city of Dalaran.

The Weishenme Titans did not initially choose humans, but elves?

Because humans are too smart and creative, and human beings are too weak to stop them, they have no firm beliefs, they will only have endless selfish desires, and they are never satisfied with the pursuit of Liliang, such as the contradictory Lich King Arthas.

The Burning Legion is the negative substance on shijie, and they are evil. Corrupt, brutal, fanatical, living in a twisted space, the only thing that will liberate them is the element of magic.

The High Elves also use magic, but they will build a large barrier on the island of Kui to block their own land, and they use magic within the barrier, but they dare not use it on a large scale. Has a strong sense of restraint.

But this is not the case with humans, and the first 100 human mages have been warned by the elven mentors and have been honed by the brutality of warfare to keep the rules.

And in the years of peace. The new generation of young magicians will not care, they are full of ambition and have a fanatical pursuit of Liliang in their hearts.

Human desires cannot be filled. It's only going to get bigger.

Powerful magic liliang is desire, in reality. Rights, Interests. The same goes for money, the unrestrained use of magic by the Dalaran Magic Spire in the game, and the unrestrained demand for resources by nature in reality, both of which do not know how to refrain from restraint.

The drawing of new alchemy recipes in the game, the birth of new technology in reality.

The formation of new spells in the game, the offline of new machines in reality.

In the game, players fight against the minions of the Burning Legion, and in reality, people fight against the deteriorating environment and deal with governance.

In the game, the Guardians of Tiris's Law are chosen to protect humanity, and various laws and regulations with high standards and strict requirements are set in reality.

However, as long as humans do not stop using magic, the Burning Legion will never be eliminated, and even if the High Elves set up an enchantment on Kui Island, they will still inevitably encounter the result of loss and disorder of mana.

It's just that there are many people who understand this truth, but there are very few people who really think deeply and practice it.

Looking at the humans in the Warcraft Shijie game is like looking at yourself in real life, which is one of the reasons why Weishenme Warhammer and Warcraft Shijie, in the Shijie view, the map, are no different from the real Shijie.

All this can only be understood and unspeakable, the whole plot of "Warcraft 1" is like this, Yang Yun handed over the game design task to Zhang Guoqiang, and he continued to exchange story details with Liu Cixing.

The Warcraft Shijie view has just begun, the awakening of the earth spirits in the back, the resurrection of the dwarves, the division of the elves in the front, the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the differences between Malfurion and Illidan, many places need to be refined, and Yang Yun must rack his brains to recall the contents of the ancient trilogy.

In order to maintain his respect for the classic game, Yang Yun had to make himself as restored as possible, but he had to innovate and feel quite tired.

Of course, he is not the only one who feels tired, and on the side of EA and Blizzard, he is also tired and bitter.

"Wyatt, I don't think this setting is good, innovation, we must innovate, otherwise our Warcraft will definitely be questioned by GW and Dragons!"

Ed once again vetoed Wyatt's Shijie view script, and said with a look of chagrin, "Damn! Won't we ever be able to jump out of Warhammer? There are also elves and dwarves in "The Lord of the Rings", weishenme why don't we bypass the setting of Warhammer? ”

Wyatt, the senior programmer who could have become the father of Warcraft, looked distressed.

Originally, his jihua was using the warhammer shijie view, but their company was too small, GW didn't pay attention to it at all, and now it was the exclusive right to use it by Longteng, plus the competition between Longteng and EA was brought to the fore, and it was even more impossible for them to sneakily imitate the warhammer shijie.

"But Ed, it's okay to create this human beast and elf out of thin air, but after we only make this game, we won't develop a follow-up version?" Wyatt decided to try again: "Scientific rigor is the only way to reflect our attitude." In my script, the Terrans evolved from primitive nomads, the elves were the guardians of order hidden in the mysterious continent, and the wolves were another species in Shijie, teleported to this Shijie through the Broken Void, and this is where the confrontation between the three clans took place.

Humans and elves are species in the Lord of the Rings, and it is impossible for GW to sue us for this, and the wolf clan does not exist in Warhammer Shijie, how can it be questioned? ”

Ed asked rhetorically, "Dune 1993 has Star Alliance, Rebels, and Chaos Legion, do you have to be only human elves and wolf clans?" Isn't it okay to add a fourth race? For example, dragons? Or is it a dwarf? Don't tell me that the Terrans and the Dwarves are in an alliance, you can make the Terrans and the Dwarves feud if you want. We had to get rid of the shadow of the dragon and not let players see Warcraft and exclaim, 'Oh my god, isn't this Dune 1993?'" ”

Wyatt opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, he could only put away the script and said with a headache: "Okay, I'll go back and set it up." ”

Ed was even more displeased: "Wyatt, the follow-up version of the matter, wait until the game is made!" If our EA can't even beat the first version, what will be the subsequent version? Let's stand our ground first! Even if there is a bug now, we can justify it in the future! ”

Damn it! This Ed had no idea how hard the script was to write! Do you think it's so easy to justify yourself by sticking a piece of paper with glue? Without the shijie created by the ancient saints, there will be the birth of elves and humans in this shijieweishenme? There are still four more races, does he think it's as simple as recalling a program?

Wyatt sat in front of his workbench, scratching his head hard, looking at the unfinished map editor on the screen, rather irritated.

Before he was acquired by EA, Wyatt's daily work was very casual, which allowed his creativity to be greatly developed, and he felt energetic every day, which was great.

In real-time strategy games, they don't know anything about it, and the game engine has to be designed by themselves.

In one month, he completed the puzzle scrolling map renderer, the image renderer for drawing game units and building units, the time scheduler for passing mouse and keyboard events (now changed to pass gamepad signals), and the game scheduler for controlling unit movements, which is already a good result.

He improves on his previous work every day, without any timelines and milestones, and without project pressure, he can decide what he wants to do every day, with considerable freedom.

But after EA's acquisition, the pressure of the new director followed, and even Ed was demoted from the position of president to deputy director, stopped the development of other projects, and invested a lot of manpower and resources to complete Warcraft, which made Wyatt's pressure suddenly greater, and he was almost unable to breathe because of the pressing plot design.

The new engine of the real-time strategy game was moved from EA off-the-shelf, which is the same engine as Bullfrog's "God is Crazy 2", which means that Wyatt's engine code, which he was busy with for the previous month, was scrapped by 80%.

"God...... How do I add dwarves? Is it really going to collapse the human alliance? Wyatt almost went mad, scribbling on the paper with a pen, and he wrote down this line with a heart.

"Deep underground, Stormwind, the capital of the Terrans, is the Lava Castle, an important industrial city for the dwarves, and the two races are reluctant to relocate because of the dispute over the territory, and war between the two races is inevitable......

The game development of Longteng and EA has entered the competition stage, and the competition between SS and 3DO has also entered the white-hot stage.

On October 1, 1993, the Global Game Developers Conference GDC was held in San Jose, California, USA. (To be continued......)
