The Abyss Demons living in the Hell Capital, in general, are divided into the following types:
First of all, low-level demons and ghosts, these terrible guys with incomparably terrifying appearances, enough to give children nightmares for a lifetime, belong to the lowest kind of existence in hell, which is completely in line with the principle of "if you look so ugly, you must not live for thirty seconds" in ordinary movies and animations. ≥ ≥ ≥ Xiao ≥ said, www.
The setting of low-level demons was mainly designed by Zhou Yan. They are extremely diverse, and are divided into many types, such as "skinless", "black flesh", "rotten zombies", "purgatory", "wailing souls", and many others.
Just by listening to the names of these "brilliance", you can probably imagine what these things will look like.
In the game, these lowest-level guys mainly appear as mobs in dungeons or things like field experience packs, and occasionally become NPCs, appearing at the entrances of some dungeons, giving players random tasks such as "find my dentures" or "kill those bastards and take back my girlfriend (left) friend (hand)".
The second is the ordinary demons living in the cracks, the soldiers of hell, and the half-embodied ghosts. Examples such as domineering-looking Majin soldiers and brutal demonic slave owners can be included in this category.
Compared to low-level demons, the shape of these monsters is more sturdy, but unfortunately the treatment has not improved much. Even if it appears in the wild or in a dungeon, it appears as a mini-boss or a slightly more powerful miscellaneous fish, and sometimes it doesn't even have a sense of zài than a low-level demon, which is really sad and lamentable.
As for the third type, it is a high-level demon.
The high-level demons in the Hell Capital are similar to the legendary Majin Bellok and the Abyss Queen Katia, and have the ability to transform into various forms. Because many of the devils who have fallen into hell are human beings in their lifetimes. Most of them also chose to transform into human form.
However, even though they look no different from ordinary people and seem to be unthreatening, these guys undoubtedly have the ability to pinch and explode a group of low-level demons with one hand. In the game, they generally appear as NPCs, occasionally in dungeons, and are also the kind of characters at the level of "quest final boss".
That's why. In the capital of hell, the most feared thing is not the terrifying monsters roaming the streets, but the polite "office workers" in suits and briefcases in their hands.
If there is anything else that can rise above the high-level demons, it is the "lords" and "demon kings" in the hell capital.
The so-called lord is a ruler who has immense power and has territory in hell. These guys are undoubtedly the most dangerous characters in the city, because if not their superior abilities to control the brutal demons. It's completely impossible to do.
As for the Demon King......
Contrary to what people think, here "Demon King" is not the title of the king who reigns in the world, but the collective name of the strongest demons and undead. They have the same absolute power as the lords, the only difference is that they have no territory.
The Majin Beroc, the Abyss Queen Katia, and the Angel of Death who was subdued by them can all be counted within the scope of the Demon King.
In the game, these demons and undead of different ranks. It's always the same way, repeating the daily routine all the time: brainless low-level demons fighting on the burning ground on the outskirts of the city. Ordinary demons live an ordinary life of "killing and dancing". High-level demons disguise themselves as human beings and run around every day. Following the high-level hell order set by the "lords", only when he returns home will his cruel true body be revealed.
But today is different, because—
"This Harley-Davidson? Is it really good to let a demon ride something like this? Li Wenteng, a tall and thin "RPG demon", frowned and stared at an original painting on the screen of the members of the art team.
In the past six months, this person has become familiar with the company. also got a nickname that fits his looks very well:
"The boss told us to do this, pole." The artist explained.
"That's right, that's me." Sensing that Li Wenteng had cast his questioning gaze, Zhao Nuo immediately nodded.
"It feels inappropriate to have a Harley in Hell, right?" Li Wenteng still has some questions.
"Have you forgotten Detective Hell?" Zhao Nuo smiled: "In such a sandbox game with a strange background, it is not strange that anything appears. Let's talk about the timing of these contents. It's the later stages of the game, and by that time players should be tired of the city's unchanging scenery, and the emergence of new content is just the right time to renew their interest. ”
The content that the art team is currently working on is the way the demons of hell will survive after the change, as well as their "new toys".
According to Zhao Nuo's vision, at present, when the player's character becomes the city lord and the "transformation mode" takes effect, there are three modes in which the Hell Capital can be transformed:
Medieval mode, with eerie castles and ornate cities of all sorts of Gothic buildings, demons began to use magic in large quantities and admired this convenient and quick power.
The modern model, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle that Li Wenteng saw, is a product of this model. In this mode, the city of Hell will be transformed to resemble an American city in the nineties of the last century, which is simply a "copycat version of GTA". The demons' behavior patterns have also begun to be closer to those of humans, but they are much more brutal than humans.
Future mode, this model was proposed by Xia Xiaoling, if the hell capital is transformed like this, the entire city will become a steel capital with future technology, and the demons will also begin to wear advanced equipment such as power armor.
At present, the art team is working on the design of these three "transformation modes",Under the violent urging method of the "female devil" Jian Tong,Their speed is also very amazing,At present, the medieval mode and the modern mode have almost been set up and waiting for acceptance,The future mode probably won't take too long.。
"Isn't it enough to have only three modes, why don't you add some new things?" Li Wenteng raised a new question.
In fact, Zhao Nuo also thought about this question, but he still quickly shook his head and said:
"Do you want to exhaust everyone in the company? These transformation modes are enough, so let's do these three first. ”
It's different from the traditional RPG game mode. The transformation mode in Hell's Capital doesn't just apply to the player character itself, nor does it work in a small area, but directly in all areas of the entire map.
This crazy setting directly leads to the huge workload of the program team and the art team, because they are equivalent to recreating a new "in-game world map". Even for duplicate house modeling, it is possible to replace the model with guò altogether. But the amount of work is still very impressive.
What's even more terrifying is that not only has the map changed dramatically, but the appearance and even the behavior patterns of NPCs and monsters in the map have also undergone radical changes!
To accomplish such a change, the amount of work is no less than making a new game. This is also the reason why the leader of the program group complained to Zhao Nuo at the beginning.
Fortunately, the Mafiah received a lot of people a while ago, and the original team of Hellfire Entertainment and the "Execution Team" that joined later made this design possible. If there were only the people who developed "The Legend of the War of the Great Three Kingdoms" before, even if they were all exhausted. It is also impossible to have such an effect.
Even though such a game is very laborious to make, everyone in the company has high expectations for how it will look when it is completed.
- Many game nerds in Hellfire Entertainment were RPG game experts back then, and they all have their own unique opinions on RPG games.
Their opinions differ, but one thing is strikingly similar. It can be said that a common opinion has been reached, that is:
Many RPGs are not interesting to play in the late game.
Players love RPG games. In addition to the sense of accomplishment in killing monsters and getting equipment in the game, another important element is "freshness".
Play as an adventurer and embark on adventures in unknown and strange worlds, always fresh and interesting at first.
However, in the later stages of the game, after getting acquainted with the workings of this world. The freshness will disappear without a trace.
- The woman has been standing by the wall, waiting for the player to gamble on the equipment with shards. The black man was there every day waiting for the player to hand in the quest. The blacksmith in the blacksmith can craft equipment, and the old man called the jewel merchant can craft gems...... Even if it feels fresh at first, it is the same every day, and the feeling will not come again.
But. If the transformation mode of "Hell Capital" is successful, it will be completely different.
As players get to the end of the game and start to get bored with the pale city of bones, the city will be turned upside down with the click of a "makeover" button.
And at that point, players who are already a little bored will be surprised to find that they feel like they've entered a new game!
For this model, even if you don't consider the bearing capacity of the control personnel, three are completely sufficient.
If you want to add a new version, you can release the expansion pack after the production is done - such a rich content, even if you take it out and sell it again, no one will think of it as a means to make money.
"It's hard work, I'm very satisfied with the setup this time, everyone can go to lunch."
Staring at the original painting of the art team on the screen, Zhao Nuo smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Even if such a setting takes a long time to complete, he will not feel anxious, let alone doubt his own judgment. Because......
For a game nerd, being able to see his own design and fantasy slowly turn into a real game, happy Cheng dù is even more than winning the lottery 5 million jackpot.
Even when you defeat the "Scarlet Horn Rush Group" and win the honor of being the first in the country......
Even if you win a race car and win tens of thousands of dollars......
Even when you attend the Supernova Annual Meeting and become recognized as the strongest single-player game streamer......
The famous "stellar wreckage" has never been so excited. (To be continued......) R527
