Chapter 19 AR Games and Changes
A week later, at 11 a.m.
Branch, inside the lounge.
Liu Li and Bai Jia sat opposite each other, discussing important matters.
"Brother Bai, you asked me to come over for an interview, and the mystery you made can be revealed now, right?"
"This is our design draft, please take a look at it first." Bai Jia handed a notebook to Liu Li.
Seeing Bai Jia's solemn expression, Liu Li took the notebook with great interest and carefully checked the design draft on it.
It took 20 minutes for Liu Li to figure out the reason why Bai Jia called him over.
It turned out that after this period of silence and research, Bai Jia led the team and originally came up with an excellent game.
However, before the detailed design draft could be perfected, the virtual game appeared.
Fools know the trend of the game industry in the future, and Bai Jia immediately made a decision and wanted to move closer to this aspect.
However, he immediately remembered that Mr. Lin had said that if you want to do it, you must make a distinctive and innovative game.
Therefore, now seeing that virtual games are about to set off a new era craze, Bai Jia decided not to follow the trend, but to find another way and take a path that no one else pays attention to, that is, virtual AR games.
The principle is simple, players only need to wear a special kind of virtual glasses to enter the AR game world in reality.
For example, in an AR game about raising dogs, players can see a holographic panel in an apartment where they can select their favorite dogs and summon them.
There will be a Wang Xingren next to you, which seems to have come to reality, and can interact with the player at any time, etc.
To put it bluntly, this so-called virtual glasses, Bai Jia is inspired by the AR technology in the anime "Sword Sanctuary: Sequence Battle" released many years ago.
And Bai Jia invited Liu Li to come over, just to use the power of the high-tech company she invested in to make and perfect this kind of virtual AR glasses.
"I can find creativity from the anime, it's a pretty powerful idea" Liu Li's eyes were full of brilliance, and he praised Bai Jia, "I mean Brother Bai, you haven't moved for so long, and your daring is accumulating strength, if this big move can be released perfectly, it must be amazing." ”
"If you can reach the level of anime and change everyone's lifestyle in reality, it will not be a problem to leave your name in history.
Okay, I'll be in charge of the production of virtual glasses.
Depending on the development situation, we will entrust other technology companies to work together to improve it, so that the completion schedule and quality can be reduced as soon as possible. ”
Seeing Liu Li's stable appearance, Bai Jia knew that the relevant matters of AR glasses should be handed over to her.
Now, he asks another conundrum: "It's not that simple.
Virtual games, the future is bound to be dominant.
AR games, if you want to compete with it, it is difficult.
I don't know what can be done to improve competitiveness and break this deadlock. ”
Liu Li pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what, as long as Leli Mutual Entertainment makes games, as long as you always implement the core design concept of Mr. Lin and focus on the players, there is always nothing wrong with it."
Whatever the player likes, it's all arranged.
Let's start with the simplest place, the virtual game warehouse, priced at 8888.
It is estimated that the games that will come out later are not cheap.
After all, the production cost is much higher than that of PC.
Then our AR glasses and AR games are all free.
On the one hand, it is not necessary to use money to spread, but also to build the reputation and reputation of virtual AR.
On the other hand, let the players prostitute for nothing, and they will surely be happy. Bai Jia understood: "As the saying goes, the free one is the most expensive.
Let's do the users and popularity first, and then reasonably build some consumption into the game store, which is enough for us to return to our cost. ”
"Exactly." Liu Li said slowly: "Therefore, the games we develop must cater to the preferences of players, so as to accumulate users and increase popularity as soon as possible."
Games that are more popular with the masses and are suitable for all ages than pets. ”
"It's just this popular genre, and it's very easy to develop virtual games."
"Well, we're going to have something pretty whimsical.
It can't be a regular real-life pet, but let the player raise fantasy creatures in an AR game.
Wyverns, phoenixes, unicorns, goblins and the like. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, these fantasy creatures seem to be easy to create in virtual games, and it is difficult to become our exclusive selling point." Bai Jia objected.
Liu Li held her chin and pondered for a while and said, "In this case, AR games should have pets that are completely exclusive to us.
You can only be original, or buy a strong cute pet IP.
The former consumes too much mind, and may not be successful.
The latter costs money like water, but the effect is immediate.
In the style of Mr. Lin, the pursuit of money is a small thing, and making a game that makes players happy is a big thing.
Recently, "Digi Pokémon", which has been very popular, has very popular cute pet skin gods, duck beasts, etc.
Let's spend money to buy the IP, and AR games will have unique highlights in the future. ”
Hearing this, Bai Jia nodded convincingly. In this way, in terms of gameplay, you can also give full play to the stunts taught by Mr. Lin at the beginning and carry out linkage.
For example, the Poké Balls, Evolution Battles, Gym Tournaments, Trainers, Pokémon Collection, etc., can also be borrowed. ”
Hearing this, Liu Li's eyes flashed with surprise, and he seemed to be inspired, and said happily: "Well, enriching the gameplay a little more can just enhance the fun of the game."
In this way, it is easy to be monotonous only by raising cute pets. Let's just borrow from the hunting boss gameplay in "Sequence Battle....."
In this way, the two kept brainstorming.
An hour later, the new virtual AR game design draft was officially released, with a total of two virtual AR games
[Game Name: "Digital Elf"]
[Gameplay setting: The initial player will become a trainer and choose one of the three random Pokémon as a partner.
Like the skin god, Eevee, meow, etc., purely depends on luck.
Then, through the careful care and training of the players, they will slowly evolve, comprehend their skills, and become more and more powerful.
Players can also wear virtual AR glasses and go to the real world to catch Pokémon with Poké Balls.
Of course, Pokémon will only randomly spawn in parks, squares, etc.
In addition, there are some random NPCs that will also be spawned, such as the Fire Sword Team trio and the like.
Defeat them to get Pokémon, as well as rewards such as Marketplace Coins.
Finally, each city, in a suitable place, will randomly refresh the virtual gym, which will have a variety of powerful NPC hall owners. Players will be able to challenge them, defeat them, and earn badges.
These badges are honors, can be redeemed in the mall, and more.
Oh, even if you don't like fighting, you can start with the goal of being a Pokémon performer and a cultivator.
Players can also play against each other.
In the future, Leli Mutual Entertainment will also hold Pokémon contests and so on depending on popularity. ”
In addition to cultivating pets, the second game is biased towards bloody battles.
[Game name: "The Hunter"]
[How to play: A super BOSS will be refreshed every week for players to challenge, such as zombie tyrannosaurus, Deathwing, three-headed dog of hell and other monsters.
They will appear randomly in a park or square.
Of course, these game locations will be negotiated and arranged in advance to ensure that players can play happily and no one disturbs.
Players are divided into three types of positioning: output, tank, and healing.
The output has the option to switch to physics and magic.
There are samurai, dragon knights, berserkers, bards, shadow assassins, etc.
Magicians are summoners, black magicians, red magicians, etc.
Tanks are spears, knights, warriors, etc.
Each has its own corresponding skills, and a group of AR players and giant bosses have a passionate head-to-head confrontation. ...】
In short, the core design framework of these two virtual AR games is like this.
The specific details need to be perfected by Bai Jia and the game department in a down-to-earth manner.
The difficulties that will be faced have been successfully overcome, and the game has come out smoothly.
Bai Jia was in a good mood and thanked Liu Li with a smile: "I am very grateful for your great help in the development of this virtual AR game. ”
"You're welcome." Liu Li said happily, "Actually, I just found out that everyone learns different advantages from Mr. Lin.
As long as we communicate, we can complement each other.
I also benefited a lot from this exchange with Brother Bai. ”
Bai Jia smiled: "You have said so, no matter how polite I am, it will not be like words." ”
I'm now full of inspiration, and now I want to go back to the games department and continue to polish these two games.
Well, that's all for today.
Looking forward to the next time, you can bring me good news about the completion of the virtual glasses. ”
As a result, Bai Jia and Liu Li, each division of labor, moved towards the new field of virtual AR games.
.......
The other side.
Joy and entertainment.
Qin Zhen came to the lounge again and entered the virtual game warehouse. Because it's been a week since the last time I tested the single-player gameplay of "Devil's Whisper".
Now the dedicated beta version of the multiplayer online gameplay has also been completed.
Due to the multiplayer gameplay, a round is 15 people.
Therefore, after Qin Zhen entered the game, he transferred 14 computers.
After all, the virtual warehouse is too big, and it is very inconvenient to buy 14 units and place them in the lounge for testing.
After three hours of testing, Qin Zhen almost figured out the multiplayer gameplay.
To be honest, there are many problems, the most prominent of which are two points.
1. The map in the virtual game is too large, and even if the demon explores the area where the human is located, it may not be able to rush over.
In the game, it takes 300 days to win, which is 30 minutes.
But the location was too far away, and it took more than 30 minutes for the demon to rush to the place where the humans were.
2. After the human race is united, occupy a good terrain to build a home, and cooperate, the guardian ability is too strong, and the demon is difficult to break. In the same way, the demon huddles, and the offensive ability, basically a single human can't resist.
Even if you don't hold a group, 15 people will fight a mess.
There are many other details, in short, this online gameplay, in the competition, there are almost no highlights to be found, and it is a complete failure.
As for the advantages, the shape of the demon is cool, there are four skills, each with its own characteristics, the equipment system is rich, simple and clear, and the operation is refreshing.
The building gameplay of human beings is diverse, and various combinations and combinations are also very interesting.
But overall, there are too many flaws.
Considering this set of online gameplay, it was all finalized by Mr. Lin, a genius designer.
Qin Zhen felt that it must be himself, and he did not fully comprehend his design draft.
That's why so many holes have been made, and now as long as we close all these problems, it should be much better.
First of all, the map is too big, so it has to be changed.
Changed to a Grand Canyon, the distance between the demon and the player is shortened to the range that the two can reach as soon as possible, speeding up the pace of the game.
Then, the game of 15 people is too chaotic, but the huddle affects the balance, and the competitiveness and balance are completely gone.
Then change to 1v1 mode.
One demon, one player, 30 minutes to decide the winner.
The main shortcomings are gone, and the shortcomings in the rest of the details, Qin Zhen feels that they can be improved slowly, so don't let Mr. Lin bother about it.
After writing the advantages into the document and sorting it out, Qin Zhen sent it to Mr. Lin.
In the office, after receiving the document, Lin Le looked at the two advantages and fell into deep thought.
The first one, the demon side, was originally intended to make it stronger and to dissuade human players.
But now it seems to have backfired.
That can only be cut down, but it also needs to be replaced by a demon one.
In that case, let the demons have the same building system as the player.
However, demons are creating terrible monsters to attack the player.
The second one, the abundance of buildings is interesting, and that is also cut with a knife.
In terms of gameplay, humans and demons each have a stronghold as soon as they come out. Demons are the ones who create monsters to attack the human homeland.
On the human side, some good-natured aliens are hired to fight back.
In short, the gameplay of the two sides is similar to choosing a class of troops, and after building it, attack and kill each other.
Lin Le found that this change became a similar to "Interstellar". That kind of real-time strategy game.
It's just that it's more brainless and fast food, technology upgrades, resource development, all gone, and it's attacking and killing, in short, it's monotonous and boring.
What Lin Le wanted was this kind of magic change, and he was immediately overjoyed, and sent a modification suggestion to Qin Zhen: "Xiao Qin, I decided to simplify this game, whether it is the building system or the core gameplay..."
Soon, after reading Lin Le's revision suggestions, Qin Zhen was confused, a game fan like him, of course, saw that the genre had changed greatly, and it was still a completely niche real-time strategy in this era.
After careful study, thinking for a long time.
Qin Zhen found the highlight of the change plan.
What Mr. Lin proposed is a simplified, easy-to-use real-time strategy, and the reason why this type of game is declining is that it is very difficult.
Upgrading technology, hand speed requirements, strategic awareness, etc., there are many things to pay attention to and study.
However, most players just play games to relax and relax, and they don't have so much effort to learn.
Times have changed, and real-time strategy needs to be revitalized.
Then we have to cater to the public, from hardcore, to relaxed. After all, the simpler and more fun the game, the more likely it is to be popular. Now, according to Mr. Lin's suggestion, demons and humans each represent one side of the force.
What both sides have to do is very direct and violent.
Demons create various types of monsters to attack the human homeland.
Humans, on the other hand, employ good-natured aliens to destroy demonic strongholds.
This set of gameplay is to abandon all the difficult places and directly let players enter the most exciting battles.
Qin Zhen thinks this is excellent.
Because he used to play this type of game, that is, after accumulating a large number of soldiers at the headquarters, he was gathering a wave and bulldozing the enemy.
At that moment, the sense of accomplishment and pleasure gained was about to overflow from my heart.
When it came to "Whispers of the Devil" combined with Mr. Lin's suggestion, Qin Zhen felt that it could be changed like this.
The battle location is in the Grand Canyon, divided into upper, middle and lower roads, and there will be some wild monsters around randomly.
Of course, every major road, as well as paths, rivers, and terrain such as grass, deserts, and forests that provide ambushes.
Humans and demons have one headquarters, and there are several towers and small strongholds along the way.
If they want to summon their own soldiers, they need gold.
And this resource, in addition to increasing every second, is obtained by junglers and destroying the opponent's attack towers and strongholds, or killing minions.
At the same time, the previous demons with rich skills and relatively refreshing gameplay should also be used.
In addition to creating all kinds of troops, demons and humans, you can choose a powerful hero unit after entering.
And you can choose to become this hero, give orders, lead these troops, and destroy the enemy's headquarters.
Of course, the human side is a hero who is biased towards justice, while the demon side is darkened.
HQ will have the same fun gear to buy before.
It's going to be a role-playing real-time strategy game, and the point is that it's a virtual reality game.
Then, in equivalent, players will play as a hero, go to the battlefield in person, command a large army, and have a thrilling duel.
Of course, the specific perfection still needs to be slowly carved.
However, Qin Zhen has full confidence in this.
"Okay, call a meeting and change the online gameplay!"
