Chapter 216: The name of the first game co-produced with foreign forces has been decided

"You can't say that you can move me, there are more things I want to change, the key is, can you accept it?" Liu Neng said.

"It doesn't matter, or rather, it's already an issue that doesn't need to be specifically discussed." Abel was a little angry, at present, this game has reached the verge of death, but the transformation that Liu Neng intends is more like speeding up the process of death.

Liu Neng didn't look at his face much, and continued, "I plan to add two new attribute values, which are hunger and SAN values. ”

"I can understand hunger, but if you don't eat, your hunger will go down. The general treatment method is to deduct blood when the hunger level drops to zero and the food cannot be replenished. The point is, what is this San value? What's the use? ”

"It's the spirit value, when the player's character spirit value is reduced, it will fall into madness mode, and there will be a lot of mental hallucinations in crazy mode, and it will fight with imaginary monsters."

"Isn't that supposed to be energy? energy! Why use the word "San" that I've never seen before? ”

"It doesn't matter." Liu Nengdao, "I hope to control the state of the character through these two values, to replenish food, but also to put one's spirit in a better state." There are many ways to affect the san value, such as getting wet when it rains, staying in the dark for a long time will also reduce the san value, eating disgusting rotten food will also affect it, and another example will also affect the failure to make a tool many times in a row. ”

"I think after you transform it like this, this game has become too difficult, and it is no longer suitable for normal people to play."

Liu Neng smiled, "Many players are sadistic personalities, or Stockholm syndrome, you abuse them fiercely, and the more you abuse them, the happier they are." ”

When he said this, he suddenly remembered some things, some games, such as things about the word soul, and suddenly smiled, "Anyway, you just listen to me, if you change it like this, there will be many players who will like this game." ”

Abel was silent, of course he was very skeptical. He picked up the character design map that Liu Neng had just drawn, and looked at it for a long time, thinking about that scene in his mind, just this kind of villain, in a grayscale space, in a grayscale space, constantly working hard to survive, constantly looking for food, looking for all kinds of things to improve his san value, to fight, to hide from the rain, to keep looking for wood, so as not to sleep peacefully when night falls.

Just thinking about this game experience makes me feel too sadistic.

But it seems that this villain should explore this unknown world.

At present, the vast majority of sandbox games do not have a clear theme, but according to his transformation, it seems that it can indeed be considered a sandbox game, and the gameplay of destruction and construction in the game still exists. It's just that there was no goal before, and now it's constantly working hard for the goal of "survival", forcing players to build, tamesticate, explore, and craft.

Fighting monsters and exploring caves before was actually quite easy. However, once you die, the props are still on your body, and every time you enter, you will be able to improve a little, and one day you will be able to open up the cave.

But after the transformation, the game is different, and you have to be careful. One wrong step, that is, death without a way back, not just the loss of the previous props, but everything you have paid for is so "like smoke".

Can players really accept this kind of sandbox game?

Abel was skeptical.

"I don't think I can give you an answer right now, even if the game is on the verge of death." In the end, Abel still couldn't give his answer directly, "Maybe tomorrow, maybe later, I won't be able to give you an answer until later." ”

Liu Neng shrugged his shoulders, "It's not important, I'm just giving you a piece of advice." The other thing I'd like to say is, if you're sure you don't want to do it, I'd like to put together a team to keep the game going. You know, I have a very large production team in China, and they are very strong in execution. ”

Abel smiled, "Of course I know, but even so, I need time to think about it. ”

"The way you said this kind of transformation strikes me as a little weird, I've never seen a game where the abuse of players is fun. But when I think about it, I think there is something to be done with this design. ”

In the afternoon, the two men were invited to IBAL headquarters again, and Curry told them that the result of the meeting was that they agreed to pay a draw, five million dollars.

Liu Neng was quite satisfied with this, in fact, he did have a temporary idea, but as he said, he didn't think it was too much. He has always believed that he and IBAL are working on an equal footing, and he does not need to rely on IBOS to advertise and raise awareness when he is released.

Of course, it is undeniable that this is very helpful for him to open up foreign markets.

After getting the contract, fax a copy to the country, so that the domestic lawyer can check whether there is any problem with the contract. After the confirmation, the cooperation agreement was successfully signed.

It stands to reason that this trip to the United States has actually been done in a serious way.

However, for Abel's vacillation, he decided to stay for a day, refine the design of the game, and completely dispel Abel's idea of wall grass.

The next day, Liu Neng threw the design plan to Abel with dark circles, "This is the overall design plan, including the setting of the world view, the setting of some characters and stick figures, I have already set up all kinds of gameplay." If that doesn't make you up to the next level, I hope my next sentence will make you up soon. ”

Abel's mouth opened wide, "Did you write that last night?" It's incredible, can you do it all in one night? I don't believe that you are trying to revamp my game on the fly, but you already had an idea and just took the opportunity to say it......"

"None of that matters. If you're sure, I'm going to put two million dollars into your company to get you back hired, and then get the game up and running as soon as possible. Profit comes first, doesn't it? ”

Abel said very seriously, "Mr. Liu Neng, I am very grateful to be able to cooperate with you, and I cherish this opportunity to cooperate." You made me see a completely different world, and it also changed my way of thinking about Chinese people. I can now give you my answer, which is that I am willing to redo the game the way you do. ”

"But one important thing is that the previous game name 'Omnipotence' is no longer suitable, after all, here, almost anything a character does can lead to death, and I hope you can give this game a new name!"

β€œγ€ŠDon't Starve》”

"Sure enough, as I expected, your name is really random!" Abel laughed.
