Chapter 78: Cooperation
Feng Qian took the sketch handed over by Liu Changqing.
In his impression, he had a good impression of Liu Changqing, but he didn't feel that the other party was so prominent.
But when I saw the sketch in my hand for the first time, I was a little surprised, not because of the content, but because I was surprised that Liu Changqing could still draw.
If you know this skill, then why did you want to become a bookstore clerk in the first place?
Without much thought, he spread out, moved his gaze to the paper, and looked carefully.
On the paper, a cartoon character with a peaked cap is drawn, grasping the brim of the hat with one hand, holding a bulging object in the other, as if there is a button on it, and the woods are roughly drawn behind him, and next to the character's feet stands an animal that looks like a lizard, opening its mouth, and spewing flames from its mouth, and a raging flame on its tail.
Then I switched to the next one.
It was the fire-breathing frontal lizard I had just seen, with an arrow next to it, followed by a lizard with some changes in appearance and a little higher in height, and an arrow next to it, and a dinosaur with a pair of wings that looked like a pterosaur.
The tail burned with fire, and the head raised to the sky and spewed out a pillar of fire.
Feng Qian was a little stunned.
He looked away from the paper and looked at Liu Changqing suspiciously.
"This ...... What is the meaning? β
"I'll name him [Evolution]"
"Evolution?"
"Yes, you see that the primary form is a cartoon lizard that looks a little rounded, and then after reaching a certain level, it will evolve to the next form, that is, the middle one has become a little bigger, and finally the evolution is what you see with wings."
"Evolutionary ......"
Feng Qian read it in his mouth, and then saw the next one.
It's similar to this one, but it's replaced with a turtle-like look.
In the next one, it's a frog that looks a bit like a frog, but there's a lump on its back that looks like a flower.
Each one of them is so interesting.
"Interesting, this is what you came up with?"
"Well, it was my daughter who gave me a little inspiration that day, and I suddenly thought of this."
Liu Changqing took back the sketch handed over by Feng Qian, and pointed to the first one of the balls held by the cartoon character.
"All the animals you saw just now could be put into this ball."
"Huh? Score a goal? β
"That's right, I'll tell you about the setting, the world of this game is a world of all kinds of magical animals, and then everyone reaches a certain age, they will get this ball and an initial companion, and then they will embark on an adventure."
"Is it a popular monster fighting upgrade right now?"
"You can say that, but that's not what it means."
Liu Changqing responded to Feng Qian's words.
"To be precise, the core gameplay of this game should be PVP, that is, player vs. player."
"Player...... Playing against players......"
"On the way to the adventure, you can encounter all kinds of strange animals in the wild, and then use the animals and wild animals you have already subdued to fight a decisive battle, you can choose to kill the other party, and then gain experience to improve the level of the animal in your hands, or you can choose to fight until you are on the verge of death, and then use the ball to directly subdue."
"So, the purpose of this ball is to subdue these strange animals? That should have a success rate. β
It is worthy of being engaged in game development, and I realized this at the first time.
Liu Changqing glanced at the other party, and then replied to the other party.
"That's inevitable, this ball is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the red and white ball is the most ordinary ball, and there is a higher level, and the success rate of catching will be greatly increased."
"How do you fight?"
"Turn-based, but as the level grows, you can get skills, there are skills that increase your own attributes, there are also skills such as reducing the opponent's defense, and there are all kinds of attack methods, up to a dozen, but the upper limit of each animal can only carry four skills."
"It's reasonable, it's fair."
"That's right, and there are specific skills that can only be obtained through the story or explored by the player himself."
"Hmm...... Increased playability. β
Feng Qian nodded.
Just in a few words, his emotions seemed to be interested in the world narrated by Liu Changqing.
At present, most of the games on the market are level breaking games, fighting monsters to get money, buying equipment, and improving attacks.
There is no PVP, PvP gameplay.
Liu Changqing continued to speak.
"The plot needs to be driven by a main line, and the characters controlled by the player are advancing with the goal of being the world's number one trainer, and then they will meet a villain group on the way, starting from the miscellaneous soldiers to send experience and money to the player one by one."
"There are routines."
"Well, that's about it, can you do it?"
"It's a bit of a lot of work, but the technology is much more mature now than it was five or six years ago, and it's not too difficult to do pixel games today, it's just that according to what you say, the data is going to be a bit huge, and it's ...... Animals can't just be the three you draw? β
"Of course, these three are only the three that the player initially chooses."
"That makes more sense."
As he spoke, Feng Qian took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to Liu Changqing.
Took it and lit it.
Liu Changqing seemed to feel that something was not quite right with Feng Qian's mood.
Feng Qian also lit a cigarette and took a puff.
Exhaled.
"I shouldn't be able to do this right now, though."
"Something is wrong with the company?"
"Hmm."
Feng Qian nodded.
"In fact, during the time when Shuyan had an accident, I didn't go home every day because the company couldn't hold on, so I worked overtime in the company every day and didn't go home, and ...... The money I took last time was all my property, and after the salary and R&D projects, I can't even afford to pay the company's rent now. β
At this point, Liu Changqing did not feel too surprised.
The last time we met, when I asked about the company, there was obviously something wrong with the other party's face, but it wasn't broken at the time.
"When are you going to move out?"
"The end of July."
"It's been a month......"
"yes......"
The two were speechless.
Liu Changqing took a puff a little depressed, wanting to use this to relieve the depression in his heart.
Just when he wanted to ask Feng Qian if there were any other game development companies that he had ever trusted, he suddenly thought of something.
"You bought all the equipment in your company now?"
"Yes...... Although it was rented at first, after the first game made a little money, a batch of equipment was bought. β
"Aren't they all ready-made?"
"What do you mean?"
Regarding Liu Changqing's words, Feng Qian was obviously a little confused.
Glancing at the other party, Liu Changqing continued.
"I now have two storefront houses, you can register a company, you have equipment now, someone, I provide the venue, how about we work together?"
"Partnership?"
"That's right, when the time comes, I'll open up the two faΓ§ade rooms, and then decorate it a little, and you move the company over, re-register a company, or let me invest in it."
