Chapter 999: The Legend of Sword and Fairy
In the office of Nebula Games, Yang Chen looked at the latest news.
Apex Games announced the establishment of "Project X" to bring players a next-generation gaming experience with cloud gaming technology.
UEgame announced the establishment of "Justice Warriors" as a sequel to the previous "Justice Police", which also uses cloud gaming technology to bring players a next-generation gaming experience.
In the three major aspects of China, NetDragon is planning a storm because of the treasure system of one of its pillars, and there is no movement for the time being.
Tenghua metaphorically said that they will launch a new game next, which also uses cloud gaming technology to bring players a new and different game experience.
In addition, there are other large and small manufacturers, all of which have focused their attention on this area.
Because of the success of "Nebula Games: GO", it has also proved that cloud gaming is a stable and feasible from the side.
This makes many manufacturers have no worries.
The game genres also have their own characteristics, FPS, sandbox, open world, everything.
However, for Yang Chen, he chose to use RPG games as the starting point.
Cloud gaming technology can be said to have both advantages and disadvantages, of course, for players, they don't need to understand the advantages and disadvantages, after all, they just need to choose to play games happily.
How can players feel the innovation brought about by cloud gaming technology?
Yang Chen chose the aspect of visual effects.
The ultimate picture effect brings players a visual experience.
The so-called gameplay covers many aspects, and the visual effects brought by the graphics are also one of the gameplay experiences.
Cloud gaming technology is one of the technologies that can bring this feature into play.
As for choosing the theme of RPG, rather than the open world theme that the majority of players, including industry manufacturers, believe to be the strength of Nebula Games, Yang Chen has also seriously considered it.
What type of game is best suited to get the most out of your graphics?
In Yang Chen's opinion, there is no doubt that it is an RPG game.
Unlike the open world, RPGs in linear mode can be loaded with new data content using cutscenes, as well as scene transitions.
In terms of open world and FPS games, in order to consider the smoothness of the game, it is rare to use a mode such as a progress bar.
But RPG games are different, although it is also necessary to pursue the smoothness of the game, but RPG games are mainly based on the plot, supplemented by gameplay.
The story of a single map scene is like the number of episodes of anime and TV series, until the combination of ACT and RPG with the development of the times has extended to the development of the ARPG genre, and players can not only feel the action gameplay of ACT, but also enjoy the excellent plot in RPG games.
But slowly, in fact, players can't tell whether ARPG focuses on action or story.
The next two games that Yang Chen prepared were to return to the original RPG system, with action elements but not the main core.
While Yang Chen was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and after getting permission, the door of the office was pushed open, and a familiar face appeared in front of him.
Lin Jiayi, who walked in the door, looked at Yang Chen and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
"It's been a long time, but you're really fast." Yang Chen also smiled, he made a special trip to wait for him in the office today.
"Can you not be happy? I'm afraid that Mr. Yang will think I'm slow and kick me out of this project. Lin Jiayi said jokingly.
"Don't worry, you can't do it without you." The corners of Yang Chen's mouth hooked up and he smiled.
This is Yang Chen's true words.
As he spoke, Yang Chen turned on the projector next to the office and motioned for Lin Jia to take a look.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy
This title made Lin Jiayi can't help but have a nature, don't think about it, from the name of this title, you know that this should be a Xianxia-themed game.
Choosing this story, Yang Chen also decided after thinking about it for a long time in his heart.
Xianxia-themed games,From the perspective of gameplay and overall quality,There is actually a considerable gap with most games.。
For example, with the name of the Three Swords, "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", "Xuanyuan Sword", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", in addition to the "Heaven and Earth Tribulation" series.
If you just talk about the gameplay, you can only say that it is decent, and there are no highlights.
But it has a unique advantage, which is the plot of the game, as well as the whole setting.
And Yang Chen chose "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but it is not the entire series, but one of them.
In fact, in Yang Chen's opinion, the most outstanding part of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series in dream memory is probably the first, third, and fourth parts.
And Yang Chen chose to produce the fourth part, the main reason is that the mode of the entire game needs to be rough.
In addition to the plot of the game itself, the gameplay is obviously close to the current mainstream RPG games, not to mention the unique gameplay mode, but at least it is impossible to do the kind of maze gameplay like in the dream memory.
The entire game has twenty or thirty hours of process, most of which requires players to go through the maze or even level up, which is obviously the forced support time in terms of values and gameplay.
The combat system, as well as the map system, need to be overhauled, and in fact, apart from the plot, it is no different from making a new game.
Another point is that this work is quite special.
The story of Fairy Sword is characterized by one word: love.
From Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru of Fairy Sword One to Tang Xuejian, Nightshade, and Zixuan of Fairy Sword Three, they all revolve around a love word.
But that's a feature of the series in itself.
But Sword and Fairy IV is completely different, first of all, there is no direct connection with the previous series in the background, and the theme of the game is also based on the search for immortals, and the concept of wanting to seek immortals first cultivates humanity.
While the plot involves the element of love, it also focuses on the stories of various supporting characters.
In addition to the mood, there is a more important point in the tone of the whole game: fate.
Obey the Mandate of Heaven, or rebel against the so-called Mandate of Heaven.
became a cultivator of immortals and defeated in cultivating immortals, and in the end would rather become a demon Xuanxiao; And the clouds and rivers that always believe that my fate is up to me.
It can be said that in terms of plot, this work is also easier to make.
Such as the Fantasy Realm, the Ghost Realm, and Kunlun Qionghua, combined with the tone of the game itself to tell the fate, can further enrich the content of the game itself.
Originally, this work in the dream memory from its own discussion of the tone of fate,It can be seen that there is a intention to make the whole game not only rigid and love.,But want to continue to sublimate the whole game.,Unfortunately, as the final swan song capital investment cost,Let this game have a lot of regrets.。
These are also the main reasons why Yang Chen decided to choose this game, because there is quite a lot of room to operate.
"The script of this game!" It took about an hour to go through it hastily, and Lin Jiayi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"How?" Yang Chen had a smile on his face.
"It's outstanding." Lin Jiayi nodded slightly, judging from the script of the game, whether it is the grand plot or the story between the various protagonists in the game, it can be said that it is quite attractive.
"But, I finally know now why you said that you can't do without me, Mr. Yang."
