"After opening the game mod, can the game still be controlled by us?" Zhang Guoqiang asked the most critical question, representing everyone's doubts.

This is the most intolerable part of the opposition, in their opinion, if a game only has a solitary basic setting that they control, and everything else is open-ended, can the game really be playable? Is the game really what they originally wanted to say?

Yang Yun shook his head: "First, we control the basic core of the game, the attack mode and skill value, the main plot line is controlled by us, and all the task modules are made templates, so it is enough, these are the content that we need to control by ourselves." Second, open all side quests, open all game environment settings, character beautification, map expansion, architectural design, weapon and equipment models and number jù libraries, skill magic, emotes, pet support, etc., which do not affect the main story and core idea of the mod. ”

After a pause, Yang Yun said lightly: "As for what the game looks like in the end, I don't care. If there is a master who replaces the immortal with the demon king, and the justice into the slaughter, subverting the entire worldview, I don't care, as long as they can keep playing, it doesn't matter if the character becomes the demon king, which also means that they will have no sense of disobedience when playing the original "Fairy Sword 3", which is not exactly what we want...... Is the game assimilated? ”

He used the word "game assimilation", which made the six game planners stunned and instantly fell into thought.

The assimilation of the game, to put it nicely, is that the idea that the game wants to express has won the approval of the other party.

To put it mildly, it is that the other party was brainwashed by this thought, which made them unconsciously open the door to their subconscious. Accept such a premise and accept the ideas in the game.

After a few people figured it out. There was a little excitement in their eyes, and that's what they were trying to do. Let "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" become an RPG theme acceptable to Europeans and Americans, draw all the settings of Chinese Xianxia into an epic masterpiece, and use the game as a special carrier to spread to European and American players, so that they can recognize, assimilate them, and wash their brains!

"As you can imagine, we've already made the map editors for Warcraft 3 and StarCraft public, and they've gotten a lot of attention from fans and avid fans. I don't know if you guys have seen the Saint Seiya version of Warcraft 3? And the Plants vs. Zombies version of the StarCraft RPG? We develop the framework and rules of the game, and the players decide on their own table xiàn form. In fact, this is also a form of MOD opening. If you don't know, let's take a look at the information I sent you. ”

Yang Yun then motioned for them to look at the text that had just been sent to them: "This is some of the cases I have collected, mainly pictures, all of which are a few example drawings made by Mr. Xiang's art department, you observe carefully, I will explain." ”

There are several paintings that are very representative, the first of which is a minotaur chief with his back to the camera, standing on the edge of a mountain cliff, holding his weapon, a large stake totem. Looking at the mountains in the distance, the sky was black and oppressive, and there were a large number of gargoyles flying, dark destroyers. The Frost Dragon's figure loomed among the clouds, and it was only the vanguard of the undead invasion.

The second is a dwarven musketeer with his back to the camera, who is also standing on a snowy mountain. Holding the ground with a musket, he looked helplessly at the endless snow-capped mountains. He was supposed to be a watchman, or he could be a defeated fugitive. He only saw a long series of footprints on the snowy mountain, the enemy was chasing him, and he would definitely not last long in this harsh environment.

The third picture is still a human female magician with her back to the camera, she is wearing a gorgeous magical silk robe alternating between red and blue, a slender waist with a hand, and beautiful skin exposed, this should be a beautiful and gentle woman, but at this time there are jumping flames floating above her palm, she is standing on the city wall, looking at the orc army that is about to attack not far away, and she may throw the unstable dìng fireball in her hand at any time.

"Let me explain, when we opened up those modules, these three maps differed in terms of environment setting, character beautification, architectural design, weapon and equipment models and databases, and facial expressions. As programmers, we should not only see things as they appear, but also see the essence behind them, and for me, for all of us, we should see that these three pictures represent the same meaning - Character A executes C commands on map B, and these are the three most important elements of game design, people, places, and events! ”

As soon as Yang Yun said this, everyone suddenly realized, to put it bluntly, it was not unusual at all, Yang Yun's idea was just one step deeper than them, they only saw the appearance, but Yang Yun saw several layers, this is the gap.

"Then the main line we want to control zhì should be that character A receives instructions from NPC Jack and comes to location B, and the task is to do one thing C. Is that so? Zhang Guoqiang asked.

Yang Yun was very happy: "That's right, character A can only have basic attributes such as strength, intelligence, willpower, agility, and speed, as well as his proficiency and skill value in weapon control, NPC Jack can issue a task to A, and NPC Xiao Ming can also ask A to do another thing." When we open up part of the character system, the game will be more exciting, A will get the favor of NPC Zhang San, let A, the minotaur chieftain, do the mission C to snipe the undead invasion, but I didn't expect the player to modify the mod and become the Minotaur chief A to carry out the mission D of killing chickens in the novice village of Beach City. Did you find that interesting? ”

"Interesting? Not necessarily...... Isn't this all messed up? Zhang Guoqiang asked.

"It's messy, it's a mess, it's a matter of freedom! A truly mature full set of mods, there will not be such a nonsensical plot as the Minotaur going to the Beechcraft Novice Village to kill the dragon knights of the Protoss, they must be a complete set of similar mods. If all seven of us were playing the game and using seven mods, would you think the game would be much more replayable? Yang Yun is confident about messing around, and it turns out that the really popular mod is definitely the kind of full set of beautiful settings.

"Yes, I like StarCraft, then I'm going to install a whole set of StarCraft mods, character models and weapons are all StarCraft things, and the missions are also related to StarCraft. I wouldn't choose to mess around with a Conan or pop up a Pokemon mod, what is really accepted by players is a good work. ”

"Yes, that's the truth, it's unlikely to be messy, and it's better to deal with it if it's really messy, like "Nintendo Smash Bros." back then."

"This setting is interesting, one game, countless sets of mods, all of them can change dramatically, just like another game with a completely different game!"

There was a lot of talk and interest.

Seeing that everyone gradually accepted his thoughts, Yang Yun continued: "The things we have to do below are all for the game. As a single-player game, it doesn't support networking, and the open-ended setting also makes it impossible to connect to the Internet, so we will filter all mods and select the excellent, special, meaningful, and valuable ones for players to download. Today I'm tired of playing the Conan version.,Change a set of mods can turn it into a dark version.,I don't like the Grim Reaper version she downloaded.,Immediately change to another beautiful flower fairy version.。 ”

This is the Elder Scrolls series, and the most commendable and popular setting of almost any open-ended game.

What kind of tentacles are weird.,Women's Mountains.,Aunt Bal's Sex Blessing Life...... Ahem......

Those pictures are too beautiful Yang Yun doesn't dare to think about it, do an open-ended game, don't expect players to behave properly, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been changed to an open-ended game, I'm afraid those heroes and heroines will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being modified, isn't the Elder Scrolls called the Girl Scroll?

Therefore, in order to maintain a pure heart, Yang Yun also has to find ways to protect the image of the character he loves, such as giving the hero and heroine the last layer of underwear or something.

It doesn't seem to be appropriate, but hey, don't do it, just forget about this little thing......

Do you really want to be open? Patched gamers aren't going to be dead on 3D games, right?

It's really tangled......

The project of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is only temporarily set up with a large framework, and to really realize it, it still needs to be thought about by these programmers of Longteng.

The creative process was boring, and almost all of the game planners involved had to force themselves to change their thinking, they used to arrange the script according to the plot and trend of the story, but now they have to think of ten different scenes for one thing, and only after multiple discussions can they determine the rationality of the main line of the mission.

It's all the main line of ABC's code, whoever looks at it has a headache!

But people are tired of it, this is an absolutely rare setting in the history of games, there have been some stand-alone games that have done this before, but the scale is definitely not as huge as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", this is an epic game, all the planners of the 1st and 2nd generations are all involved, Yang Yun gave a death order, give them 1 year to make it, at any cost!

There is no way, "The Elder Scrolls 3" will come out in two years, and if he doesn't take the lead, he will definitely lose the first place.

When the "Sword and Fairy 3" project team was in full swing, Yang Yun transferred the two map editor designers of the Blizzard team to apply the principles of the map editor to "Sword and Fairy 3".

However, Marcos still complained: "Mr. Yang! Our Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne is half a year away, and I need more people than to be pumped! ”

Yang Yun asked, "Marcos, hasn't your Diablo 2 been tested?" Can't you call some people to help the Frozen Throne? (To be continued......)
