307 The moment to open the brain

At the regular meeting on Tuesday morning, Zhao Nuo stood in front of the TV wall in front of the conference room, looked at the tired game houses in the audience, and asked:

"I asked you a question last week, and now does anyone get an answer? Any ideas for improving playability? ”

"Noβ€”"

A large number of listless voices rang out from the crowd. I don't know if it's due to excessive use of the brain, Zhao Nuo always feels that the staff are a little listless these days.

"Oh." He nodded earnestly.

Maybe it's because he belongs to the role of singing blackface in the company, hearing his words, everyone in the audience suddenly became "energetic" a lot, and they all straightened their backs unconsciously, looking like a primary school student who was about to be reprimanded after failing the exam.

Seeing the reactions of these guys, Zhao Nuo couldn't help but smile and said:

"Don't think about it."

As soon as these words came out, the heads of the employees in the audience were immediately shrouded in a mysterious silence, and after about half a minute, a confused voice slowly sounded:

"Huh?"

"I said don't think about it." Zhao Nuo repeated it again.

It doesn't seem like a good idea to have employees meditate without a backing, but the next "brainstorming" won't be as inefficient and fruitless as it is now, because-

"Now we're going to enter a new phase for the time being, and the time has come to open our minds, guys."

Zhao Nuo said and pressed the play button on the table, and the projector began to play some pictures of costume TV series on the screen on the left behind him, such as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Gods", "Baolian Lantern", "The Legend of the New White Lady" and other content began to loop back and forth.

Except for the "Stellar Wreckage Relatives and Friends Group" who had already learned of the situation in advance and a few people from the planning team, the other employees were confused, and their voices of doubt rang out one after another:

"What do you mean, sir? What is this meant to express? ”

"Let's make up for domestic TV series? These dramas are rebroadcast every year on TV, and I'm almost throwing up......"

Listening to the questioning voices in the audience, Zhao Nuo shook his head:

"No, no, no, you still don't have enough imagination. In order to enliven everyone's thinking, everyone else in the company is now participating in our temporary mini-project, except for the members of the program team who are still debugging DLC. The name of this mission isβ€”"

He paused meaningfully for a moment, and waited until the audience was quiet before announcing the name of the project:

"Guan Gong fights Qin Qiong."

As expected, after the name was spoken, there was another question in the crowd:

"Huh? What the hell? You're not going to give up on treatment, are you? Let the boss save you! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I think the stellar wreckage can still be saved, and the boss really gave up the treatment. ”

A cough interrupted the staff's discussion, Zhao Nuo smiled, and finally said the real content of the plan:

"I've been having a nervous breakdown thinking about how to improve playability every day, and I'm sure there are many of you here who are like me. In order to let everyone change their feelings and open their minds, we will next pause the work of the action game and prepare to make a fighting game in which the ancient heroes of our country will fight in chaos. And the current characters in the game are only 'Xiang Yu' that Xia Xiaoling has made before, so-"

"This morning, everyone except for the members of the final debugging DLC can take a break, but I need each of you to write a character that you like better. No matter what era it is, as long as it can be regarded as a well-known figure in ancient times. This time our game will be a complete 'big chaos', what Qin Shi Huang vs. Shang Xuan, Su Daji slammed Taiyi real people and the like are all trivial, I need your brains, so please use your imagination to the fullest. ”

Speaking of this, the game nerds in the audience fell silent again, but this time the expressions on their faces changed from doubt to expectation, and they obviously couldn't wait to open their minds.

――Many of you have fantasized about seeing ancient heroes in battle, and have even designed their own skills. Since most of the domestic games with this theme are "free" online games or web games, they can't afford to spend money, so they can only find a feeling in foreign works such as "FATE", but now......

They got the opportunity to make a big brawl game called "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong" by themselves.

For these gaming fanatics, such an event is even more exciting than a raise.

"Each person designs at least one ancient hero character in the game, as well as at least three of his skills, and if they encounter duplicates, they will be 'merit-based'." Zhao Nuo said and waved his hand:

"Disbanded."

The people who usually return to their posts slowly, but today they left as quickly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and many people were still whispering something in their mouths. Seeing this scene, Wang Zhihao of the planning team pushed his glasses and said:

"It's a shame you can think of such a motivating method."

"It's not just about motivating people, it's a work for practice, but if it's done well, it can be sold." Zhao Nuo said with a smile.

――Even though it may seem a little unreliable in normal times, Zhao Nuo knows the strength of the "Hellfire" very well. It only took more than a month to transform Xia Xiaoling's independent work "Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms" to that Cheng dΓΉ, and the skills of these guys are really extraordinary.

So,If this "practice work" is optimized,,It can probably also be sold.,As for the quality of the game...... Now is not the time to think about this.

――What kind of characters will these guys come up with? Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.

After bidding farewell to the few people around him and returning to the office, Zhao Nuo also began to design the characters in the game.

"Since there is Xiang Yu, it is natural to have Liu Bang...... But Xia Xiaoling seems to be designing that. Then I'll take advantage of the situation to become an emperor. ”

I turned on the computer and casually typed the word "Yingzheng" into the newly created text document. Zhao Nuo immediately began to make up the image of Emperor Qin in the fighting game in his heart:

It was a tall man dressed in imperial robes, with a long flowing beard, holding a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand, and a sword at his waist, and his face revealed an incomparable sense of majesty and oppression.

Despite his seemingly average attack power, with a wave of his hand, he can summon a frenzied wave of armies that will engulf his enemies. Wait a minute......

"It's going to disrupt the balance, and it's a duplicate of someone's 'King's Army' in FATE."

Realizing that it was not easy to make a game, Zhao Nuo was not discouraged, but raised his fighting spirit again.

―― I once won the "Old Roll 5 People Design Competition", so I won't be stumped by this kind of thing. And......

If this game is actually released, and there is a character design written by itself, it will be very fun just thinking about it.

"You're smiling so obscenely."

A girl's voice from a nearby place interrupted his sweet dream, Zhao Nuo turned his head in surprise to look in the direction where the voice came from, only to find that Zhou Yan, who was dressed in white, was already standing in front of his desk.

"When did you come in?" He asked in surprise.

――I don't know if it's a delusion, but this guy seems to be more elusive than before. Even herself, who has always been sharp, didn't even notice her shaved zΓ i.

"I'm done." Zhou Yan answered the question, put an A4 piece of paper on Zhao Nuo's desk, and then turned to leave.

After Zhou Yan left the office, Zhao Nuo picked up the white paper on the table and saw that it was written in flowing lines:

"Name: Bai Qi."

"Appearance: A man wearing light armor and riding a horse, with the military flag of the Qin State behind him."

"Skill 1: Pit Kill. Creates a large collapse in the ground. ”

"Skill 2: Revenant. Swing your sword forward to slice through the earth, and stretch your bony palm out of the ground to immobilize the enemy."

"Special move: Army. Summon an unstoppable army to tear enemies to shreds. ”

After reading Zhou Yan's simple and clear character design, Zhao Nuo found that the girl thought of a piece with himself, but her design was a rush at first glance, and it probably couldn't be put into the game.

――Do you want to just hand in an assignment and continue writing a mystery novel? The guy ......

Zhao Nuo, who has been living under the same roof with Zhou Yan these days, quickly realized the purpose of that guy, and then sighed helplessly.

I'm looking forward to someone else's design.

continued to think about what skills King Yingzheng of Qin should be able to use if he appeared in the game. Before I could think about it, a few more people happily came over to "hand in the homework." ”

"Boss, you must use me!" A member of the art team bowed deeply, leaving behind a portrait of a classical beauty.

"Nuwa...... Are you sure this isn't too strong? Zhao Nuo asked as he looked at the perverted skill.

The first two skills are decent, but the third can forcibly control the "creation of people" of hostile characters is a bit perverted. According to this person's design, any hero can only commit suicide in aggrieved after Nuwa unleashes her special move.

"I think Nuwa should be so strong." The artist said seriously.

"Well, this manuscript is already here." Zhao Nuo nodded.

The next thing I looked at was the work of another artist, and when I saw this guy's design, Zhao Nuo realized that the "Nuwa" just now was actually not very powerful, and it was really perverted here:

"Pangu."

"Skill 1: Impact. Pangu slammed into enemies in front of him, dealing 70% HP damage. This skill cannot be defended. ”

"Skill 2: Tomahawk Combo. Pangu wields the giant axe in his hand and unleashes a continuous attack that is undefensible for ten times. ”

"Special move: Break new ground. Pangu destroys the entire battlefield and kills opponents in an instant. ”

"How's it going?" The artist with the unshaven beard and long "artist" hair seemed to be happy.

"You're too much of a disrupted balance, what else does this guy play when he plays another role, he can wait to die." Zhao Nuo shook his head.

"But...... I think Pangu has to be stronger! "The artist was not convinced.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be angry, Zhao Nuo couldn't bear to discourage his enthusiasm, so he could only say:

"Okay, I'll leave your design here for now. The next person took it. ”

The next person who came over was a small young man from the program team, and said with a smile: "I designed Chiyou!" ”

"I said you can't just change to a weaker character?" Zhao Nuo said helplessly.

-- I thought that my Qin Shi Huang was strong enough, but I found that compared with these heroes of the desolation, he was not on the same level at all.

It seems that it is not so easy to make ZuΓ² a fighting game, and it will probably take a lot of effort to maintain balance...... R1152
