Although Zhang Guoqiang didn't understand why, he still nodded: "I'll do this when I turn around." ”

Bloody killing, on the one hand, is Yang Yun's desire to regain the feeling of the first "Assassin's Creed" in his memory, on the other hand, he has other uses, but he doesn't want to say it to Zhang Guoqiang for the time being.

In the afternoon, Yang Yun went to listen to Lian Wei explain the details of the game background story of "Fairy Sword 3", the novel of the same name is 950,000 words long, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes, Xiaoao Jianghu is about the same length, this is a team working together, the result of joint operation, he didn't have time to listen to the whole article, he just went to observe the details that he was interested in, but he never had the opportunity to understand.

The most powerful decision-maker in the entire project team is Yang Yun, which is equivalent to the producer of the movie, he has the right to veto, and he can veto the plot he doesn't like, and veto anything that he thinks is meaningless to the game, he only needs a look, then the specific executor, that is, the chief architect of the game, Zhang Guoqiang, will come forward and veto these contents for him, and the design process of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is as follows.

First of all, under the guidance of Lian Wei and Zhou Tao, more than a dozen screenwriters will roughly determine the story background, timeline, outline, style, setting, and the relationship between the characters and gang forces.

Finally, one of them was favored by Yang Yun, so everything will revolve around this beginning, Zhang Guoqiang and other experienced game producers, will be all the popular with players. Carry out in-depth processing and repackaging, and then form five to ten large scripts for Yang Yun to review, which is the main line.

Yang Yun determined one of the main lines, and his affairs were over, and the next thing was Zhang Guoqiang, the executive architect, to show his strength.

On the one hand, he will cut the main plot into dozens of paragraphs, let the screenwriters improve each small chapter, and at the same time set up the server project tree according to the object-oriented three-layer rules in programming, he is only responsible for guiding the architecture, and other experienced architects will improve the specific content for him, such as using the existing underlying packaging package of Longteng. Call the "Actor 3" RPG engine and more.

In terms of plot. There is a group of professional creatives who will follow the ideas and requirements of the previous people according to the content of the long and detailed memos, notebooks, and impromptu meeting documents. Give these screenwriters advice and requests. And provide the details of the storyline. In the end, more than a dozen screenwriters wrote the rough story content at the same time.

When the first draft of the screenwriting team was written, it was finally handed over to Lian Wei, a martial arts novel writer, for summary and writing, and Lian Wei took 80% of the stories that he didn't come up with. Unified into his style, polished, and slightly adjusted, and finally written into a book, compiled into a book, and finally handed over to Master Jin Yong, Huang Yi and others to watch, which was highly praised by professionals.

Jin Yong praised it as "the masterpiece of Chinese Xianxia novels after "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", and Huang Yi did not hesitate to praise "the perfect combination of games and novels, and Chinese Xianxia style will surely conquer the world".

After the game was released, Lian Wei gained great fame, and the Longteng screenwriting team once again created a classic literary work, and everyone was happy, and at this point, the design of the whole game was over.

"Teacher Lian, thank you for showing us a world of Xianxia of traditional Chinese culture!" Yang Yun is very grateful to Lian Wei, after Yao Xian and other original teams left, he was fortunate to find a conscientious new creative team.

Lian Wei, Zhou Tao, and the fairy sword screenwriter team under Liu Cixing have indeed done a lot of work, although the game only bears the name of fairy sword, and only follows the world view of fairy sword, but it has nothing to do with the main line of the old fairy sword, and they can do this kind of Cheng dù, which is beyond Yang Yun's expectations.

Lian Weicheng was terrified, and said that this was his business.

He saw that Yang Yun was in a good mood, and couldn't help but say the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Mr. Yang, in fact, whether it is Master Jin Yong's comments or our own internal praise, as one of the creators, I actually have an intuition that Chinese Xianxia is a manifestation of Chinese culture, and "Xianjian 3" cannot surpass "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" in terms of literature and artistry, nor does it have the lofty status of the founding school, to be honest, in fact, I am not satisfied with this novel." ”

Yang Yun smiled: "Tell me, what's not satisfied?" ”

Lian Wei explained: "For example, Li Qingshan has too many adventures, and he always finishes one task, and immediately receives the next task. I know this is a very common technique in game design, but to really write it in words, you have to explain the ins and outs of the story, preferably from a multi-player perspective, which is contrary to the perspective of the protagonist in the game. Because we are a multi-person co-author, it will make literature a little boring, dry, and stiff. Even if it was up to me to bridge and polish the articulation, I would have to spend a lot of ink explaining the environment and the background, which would make the reader feel jerky and tired. ”

Yang Yun nodded: "That's why I want to thank you!" In this era, the game system is no longer the one that can be completed by one person from planning to coding, as in the past, but has become a multi-person cooperative and collaborative completion, which is determined by the market, which has also proved to be the best, most reasonable, and most efficient way to make the zuò. And we are mainly based on games, supplemented by novels, so we will use the rhythm of the game to take it away, so that the novel is inconvenient to write to restrain thinking. As long as the game is successful, we will release the official novel, and you will have a few months to revise it, what do you think? ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, for giving me time to revise again, I will definitely do my best!" Lian Wei nodded, but he was still a little unconfident: "Mr. Yang, this game ...... Can it really be sold to the world? ”

Yang Yun smiled: "Even the teacher, I am fair, if this is really a simple fairy story, it is absolutely impossible to sell it to the world, there are seven or eight designers in the madman studio, and more than ten of you are about the same, what is the difference between this fairy sword 3 and fairy sword 1 fairy sword 2 in terms of content?" In fact, the essence is the same!

There are so many options for European and American gamers that few people will understand the Chinese Xianxia system that is completely unfamiliar to them. The real selling point of this game is actually in those highly free settings, and the current mainstream RPG games are basically this kind of high-freedom development games, hoping that players can explore the world by themselves. ”

By the second half of 2001, there have been a lot of high-freedom games around the world, "The Elder Scrolls" and "Grand Theft Auto" are also, Longteng's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is not the first, and it will not be the last, "The Elder Scrolls" has not yet come out to the 5th part, "Grand Theft Auto" has only come out 2, and it is not impossible for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" to become popular in advance.

You know, this is a product of Longteng, and players around the world should buy it.

"Okay, Mr. Lian, this novel may make you feel very aggrieved to write, but I am willing to give you enough time to think about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4", or other Chinese martial arts fairy novels that you are interested in, and create them to your heart's content!"

Yang Yun is still very confident in Lian Wei, and he has recognized Lian Wei's strength.

After arranging the test of Fairy Sword 3, Yang Yun began to be busy with the promotion and listing of "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" again.

On May 10, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne will be available for order.

WAR3 is the standard competitive game of WCG, and the new expansion has immediately gained the attention of esports game fans around the world, and almost all professional Warcraft players have updated this new version for the first time, because this year's WCG will use the Frozen Throne as a standard game, and they need more time to practice new tactics, and not a minute can be wasted.

The update of professional players also forced ordinary players to choose to update, and the latest replay must use the new version to watch, and 8 million units were sold in a month.

The new expansion pack has changed a lot, each race has added a new hero, a few new classes have been added, tactics have become more diverse, the combination of troops has become richer, the balance of the game has been greatly strengthened, and the appearance of various types of armor is even more surprising - the arms are too powerful, the history of the level 3 base crushing the level 2 base will no longer exist, and the transformation of troops in the future will become very beautiful in the future, and the battle of wits between players is the king!

In the end, Warcraft 3 player Sohu Su Hao from China, a young player just 18 years old, beat South Korea's 17-year-old ghost king Susiria, won the WCG war3 championship, and he also became the first Chinese in war3 history to win the Frozen Throne expansion championship, the second place was South Korea's Susiria, and the third place was won by Sweden's SK's Holly.

2VS2 is a pity, the combination of Chinese players Ye Fan and Miao Qiao lost to the Korean combination Susiria and Kurra, although the Koreans lost the 1VS1 world championship, but in 2VS2 to pull back a game, it is also from the 2001 WCG, China and South Korea in WAR3 has become an endless rival, the e-sports strength of the two countries is in a state of interweaving.

This year's WCG has become more exciting because of the addition of the Frozen Throne, although the professional players only have more than a month to practice, but they are full of artistic imagination of a variety of new tactics, exquisite operations, bold and innovative cooperation, to the global e-sports game fans brought a visual feast.

In July and August, the hottest video game competition was Frozen Throne. (To be continued......)
