In the messy living room, the air was filled with the smell of instant noodles, and Xia Xiaoling was sitting on the side and playing happily with a handheld. And Zhao Nuo and the "RPG Demon" are having a conversation to the point.

The question they discussed was: What's the most endearing feeling about a role-playing game?

A long time ago, Zhao Nuo still remembers playing an old-fashioned 2DRPG when he was very young.

The graphics of that game are not good, and the sound effects can only be described as average. and other types of games of the same period, which are completely incomparable.

But he remembers very well that at that time, he spent playing that game even longer than the time it took to contact Need for Speed and Return to Wolfenstein at the same time combined.

In order to farm out the materials for the ultimate weapon, he repeatedly killed a monkey monster in the wild, killing nearly a thousand of them before he finally gathered the materials and forged one of the most powerful weapons in the game - the "Demon Slayer Holy Sword".

And the Demon Slaying Holy Sword is only composed of a few golden simple pixel blocks, and its appearance looks extremely shabby.

Why spend so much time in a humble single-player RPG? It wasn't until he grew up later that Zhao Nuo finally learned the answer.

Satisfaction and accomplishment are the keys to the success of an RPG.

I still remember when I played "Diablo 2", a piece of equipment has not been released for several months, but I still enjoy it, and I always open the game and brush it several times a day.

And the moment he actually got that piece of equipment, he felt a sense of accomplishment that he had never felt before.

"You mean, the sense of accomplishment that comes with playing rare equipment and items?" Zhao Nuo asked.

"Yes, yes, that's it, I've killed thousands of monster suits in a row before." Li Wenteng seemed to have thought of something happy, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

"This outdated method definitely doesn't work well now." Zhao Nuo shook his head.

Ten years ago, many players would have been able to accept the repetition of the monster farming process in order to get the strongest equipment or to reach the full level.

But today, when the pace of life is accelerating day by day and people are becoming more and more impetuous, there are not so many people who are still willing to "brush and brush".

What people need today is the kind of entertainment that is fast and portable, and can be played when they want. This is also the reason why mobile casual games, which are despised by "deep players", will be popular with half the sky.

"No, there will still be a lot of people playing. As long as it matches the plot well, your screenwriter fully meets the requirements. ”

Speaking of this, Li Wenteng shrunk his neck, as if he still had lingering feelings about the escape room trip just now.

Hearing his words, Zhao Nuo shook his head again: "What we want to do is a game that is easy to use, allows players to easily experience the fun of the game, and by the way, can also give them a sense of satisfaction and achievement." ”

In his opinion, in today's game market, only innovation is the way out. If you still have the same decent design as the old RPG, or a "brush brush" game like Diablo, there is no future.

If there is a mass base like "Dark", there is still a way to survive if a sequel is launched, but if an original stand-alone brush equipment RPG is directly released, the fiasco can also be expected.

It's just that if you want to innovate, it's naturally not so simple:

"If you want to innovate, you also have to take into account the acceptance of players, and you have to attract talents, which is very ......troublesome," Li Wenteng frowned slightly.

"I know, this task is handed over to you, do you have confidence?" Zhao Nuo asked.

All along, Hellfire Entertainment's works have been mixed with some innovative elements. If the "RPG Demon" is really as powerful as Xia Xiaoling said, if you work together with yourself, maybe you can really design the ideal kind of RPG!

Zhao Nuo is more willing to make something new than follow in the footsteps of others, which is also related to his experience - after all, after playing games for so many years, he is almost tired of playing common types of games, so he naturally prefers those works with unique styles.

"Well, okay, you can try." Li Wenteng stretched out his skinny right hand and shook it with Zhao Nuo.

At this time, this young man, who looked like he had stayed at home for a long time and had not seen the light of day, had a slight bloodshot eye, but there was a certain shining brilliance.

It was not so much the joy of seeing hope as the sight of food for the beast that had been hungry for years.

Zhao Nuo didn't need to ask much to know that the RPG fanatic named Li Wenteng in front of him had already been taken under his command.

――――――――

After Nancheng successfully subdued the "RPG Demon", when he drove Xia Xiaoling back to the city, the time was only Sunday night.

Since the other party said that he would not arrive until next weekend, before that, Zhao Nuo happened to take care of some other affairs.

First of all, there is the number of statistics about new games.

The sales boom of "Swire Heroes" on the Hellfire battle platform has begun to subside, and this time the activation code has also sold nearly 600,000 copies, and the pressure on the battle platform server, which was still very idle, has also begun to increase sharply.

It's just a work to practice, and it's an accident to get such a result. It seems that the route I chose before was the right one - for a fighting game, everything else is false, and only "fighting well" is king.

Due to the increase in server pressure, some players have also begun to report that there is a lag during the battle, but it is not up to the process of worrying - most of this is the player's own network problems, and the battle platform is still fully supportable.

After the statistics are over, the next thing to do is to start a new project.

Some people were separated from the program team to maintain the server of the battle platform part-time, and some people were assigned to work with the execution team to improve the action game engine. The last remaining group of people was assigned to the team that developed the new RPG and was ready to work on the design of the new game.

As the planning team began to conduct market research, the design of the new game finally began, and the "chariot", which had been dormant for about a week, finally began to operate.

"Hoo ......"

On Friday night, Zhao Nuo, who had been busy for a week, packed up his things and was about to leave the office, when he saw a girl in red standing in front of the door, with a cold expression on her pale little face as always.

Zhou Yan ...... What's wrong, is there something wrong? Zhao Nuo asked.

"Look at the news on the Internet, you're on fire again." Zhou Yan said coldly.

Hearing her words, Zhao Nuo, who was going to turn off the computer, paused, opened the browser and clicked on the news channel of a large website, jumped to the category of "Game Entertainment", and immediately saw the big scarlet headline appear in the center of the web page, which was very eye-catching:

Wrong example? The old professor angrily reprimanded the first episode of the 'Liang Xiao Interview'"

"You don't have to cut us if you want to be famous, right? Darn. ”

Zhao Nuo scolded with a smile, then clicked on the news and read it. R1152
