Chapter 81: The Bomb
At 2:30 p.m. that day, Su Li made a presentation about "Shadow Secrets" at the main booth of the indie game exhibition hall.
The audience was crowded, black and oppressive, and the booth and the audience area were separated by a separation belt, and the audience was standing below to watch, and there were no seats.
Also on stage with Su Li was Xia Qinglan, who was the artistic director, and she was still a little nervous when she saw this formation, and whispered to Su Li: "There are so many people."
The good seats in the front row have been occupied by the game media, and the personnel of the major game companies can still find a place to sit next to them, and the others can only stand under the stage.
However, Su Li's display time is not long, which is to introduce the new project of the future oasis.
The media had already set up long guns and short cannons, and when Su Li came to power, the flash lights flashed.
When Su Li came to the stage, there were very loud cheers and applause from below, which made Su Li feel very excited.
Any person, in such a situation, will produce a strong sense of satisfaction, the source of this satisfaction lies in recognition, when what they do is recognized by many people, this satisfaction will naturally arise.
When many people saw Su Li coming to power, they couldn't help but be a little moved.
If you count according to the age of the practitioners, Su Li's age is actually not young, the game industry is now more like manual work, and there are many newcomers in their early twenties who have just graduated, and they have been in for a few years, and most of them have already mixed up with a title when they are twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
However, measured by a successful gamer, Su Li's age is very young, and under normal circumstances, a game practitioner can rarely come up with a very successful project at this age.
Now, Future Oasis has become a rising star in the gaming world, and no one will question their bright future.
"Good afternoon everyone, I'm Su Li, the game producer of the future Oasis."
Su Li used the game producer as his title, and there was a round of applause from the audience.
"Thank you for all the applause, today is limited, we will go directly to the most critical link, and introduce to you the new project of the future oasis."
The applause was even louder.
A picture appeared on the screen, the one that Su Li had put on the forum before.
"I apologize to everyone, I used this picture to whet everyone's appetite before, and I don't dare to go online these days."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
"Now, let's unveil the new project of the Oasis of the future."
A short animation floats across the screen.
From a bird's-eye view, a raven swept by, and a bird's-eye view of Birch City appeared on the screen, as the raven swooped down, Birch City became clearer and clearer, and people clearly saw that this was a small city with a European classical style.
The picture is still relatively bright now.
Cut the lens, change the angle of view.
A set of flash shots, the iconic buildings in Birch City are constantly changing.
Churches, streets, hotels, pedestrians on the streets......
Then, in the blink of an eye, the picture darkened and the atmosphere changed abruptly.
The night breeze blew the leaves and made a rustling sound.
The dim street lamps of the streets, large shadows shrouded the streets.
Camera advancement.
Mysterious statues loom in the shadows.
On the wall of the house, in the corner illuminated by the street lamp, a strange and mysterious symbol was revealed.
Heart-pounding music sounds.
All around, there seemed to be countless black shadows, surrounding here, getting closer and closer.
With a terrifying sound, the camera zooms out and the frame fades out.
The Shadow Secrets logo appears on the screen.
After a brief silence, applause and cheers erupted from the audience, and the audience began to whisper to each other about the animation.
"This is our new project for the future oasis, as you can see, the new work is called 'Shadow Secrets', and in this new work, we have changed the previous style and made quite a lot of new attempts."
"After watching this animation, many people may have questions about what genre this new game is."
"Shadow Secrets will be an ARPG, but compared to the previous ARPGs, it has its own uniqueness, which is slightly different from the previous ARPGs."
There was excited applause from the players, and the audience of ARPG is still very wide and has a huge player base.
"Time is limited, so I'll briefly talk about what kind of game our Shadow Stories is and what makes it unique."
"After the success of the Lost Wonderlands project, Future Oasis has accumulated a lot of experience and improved its technical strength. Therefore, in the design process of the project "Shadow Secrets", Future Oasis has repeatedly thought about what kind of project we want to do and how to give full play to our strengths. ”
"It's to follow the previous path and continue to make action-adventure games, but to jump out of this framework and do a new attempt."
"At the end of the day, we made up our minds to do a new project that we hadn't done before, and we were eager to try something new and take a new adventure."
"So, we designed Shadow Secrets, an atypical ARPG game."
Offstage, many people were thoughtful.
"The atypicality of Shadow Stories lies in the changes we made to the key character growth elements in the ARPG. I can reveal here that the overall style of "Shadow Secrets" refers to the relevant rules and backgrounds of DND and COC, and incorporates some of our own understandings. ”
There was a burst of exclamations that many people understood the background source of "Shadow Secrets".
"In the process of designing, we firmly grasped two key words, one is freedom and the other is immersion. We hope that when players play this game, they get a unique sense of immersion, the game type is ARPG, and we hope that the focus of the player experience is not Action, but Role-playing in the back. ”
Role-playing refers to role-playing, and the full name of ARPG is Action Role-playing Game.
"Immersion has always been our goal, and we want players to be able to become one with their characters and immerse themselves in the game."
After a cursory introduction to the game of Shadow Secrets, Su Li introduced another highlight of the game.
"Another highlight of Shadow Stories is the degree of freedom, but please note that the degree of freedom in this game may be beyond your comprehension and imagination, and I can't go into too much detail right now, so please experience it for yourself when the time comes."
There was a wave of boos from the audience, representing the protest of the audience.
Su Li made an apologetic gesture, and then said: "I can only reveal a small aspect of the degree of freedom here, that is, the degree of freedom of character training. ”
"In Shadow Stories, players have a lot of freedom in character development, or rather, it's hard to find two characters that are the same. Whether it's the character's appearance, attributes, skills, etc., each person's character always has its own unique place. ”
"We've reduced the cost of character development for players, and players can easily try out different types of characters in the game. I can briefly reveal here that when a player pinched a character, the initial attributes of the character will be linked to the size of the person the player pinched. ”
“…………”
“…………”
"I have limited time today, so I would like to have one last message about Shadow Secrets, which I believe will be of great interest."
After some introduction, Su Li saw that the time was almost up, so he said: "Actually, in this short film at the beginning, only a small part of the content of "Shadow Secrets" is shown, we can call it the first chapter, or the first act. ”
There was a burst of surprised voices from the audience.
"Shadow Secrets will be launched sooner than you think, because the content of this game has certain particularities, so after we finish the content of the first act, we will open the early test of the game to let it meet players for the first time."
"Shadow Secrets will have a unified and unique worldview, but its first act already contains a relatively complete game content, and the game is expected to be launched on the Oasis platform in early December."
Really breaking news.
Cheers echoed through the hall.
Everyone felt that the Oasis project should be in development for some time in the future, and most expected to be at least a year in development.
But now, Su Li threw out a bombshell, shocking people.
An ARPG can even start early testing?
What kind of game is this?
