In the new project, Su Li's work is still very difficult, compared to others who are responsible for a single system, Su Li needs to control the overall progress of the project, and at the same time needs to integrate each system into an interesting game.

The content and complexity of Shadow Stories is an order of magnitude higher than that of the previous game, and even if it is only an early beta version, there is still a lot of content to develop.

The overall graphics of the game basically follow the graphics engine of Lost Secrets, but there are big differences in the art style.

There is basically no natural scenery in White Birch City in "Shadow Secrets", and the overall style is very gloomy, without sunlight, which sets off a strange atmosphere.

In this regard, Xia Qinglan is a connoisseur, using European classical architecture and several existing European towns as references, she has designed many buildings, sculptures, signs, etc. with special symbolic meaning. cooperated with Xu Chuan to improve the background of the story.

Basically, Xia Qinglan led the art side of "Shadow Secrets" and became the de facto art director of the project.

Regarding the combat system of "Shadow Secrets", although this is an ARPG game, his RPG elements are more reflected in the uniqueness of the characters, in fact, the player's character in the game, the growth of combat ability is relatively small.

There is no concept of level, the enhancement of the player's basic attributes and skills can only rely on a very limited number of rewards, and the player's attributes are strictly controlled, and there will be no expansion of attributes.

The growth of players is more reflected in the increase in the number of skills and the strengthening of auxiliary expertise, Su Li hopes that players can form different combat skills through the combination of different skills, rather than simply being a dog in the early stage and a second in the later stage.

This idea is also reflected in the design of equipment, whether it is equipment or items, which tend to "have unique effects" rather than simple numerical increases.

Therefore, the design of the combat system of "Shadow Secrets" is more inclined to the design of action games, and there is a relatively uniform standard for the strength of monsters and enemies. Different enemies have different characteristics, and their strength follows a certain pattern.

Su Li plans to build "Shadow Secrets" into a long-term project and an expansive IP, and in terms of design, special consideration is given to forming a complete system.

The development of "Shadow Secrets" is progressing in an orderly manner, and another strategic project of Oasis in the future, the Oasis platform, will also be quietly launched at the end of the month.

Today, the future oasis Hucheng branch located in Shanghai is working overtime collectively, and Li Haoming is personally in charge, as if the enemy is at present.

Of course, the biggest enemy of the platform operations department now is to guard against those technical problems that may arise at any time.

The platform operation department was set up by Li Haoming, and he had more in-depth contact with this aspect of work when he was a penguin, and he also had a certain amount of contacts. Although the R&D team of the Oasis platform is small, the quality of the members is still quite good.

Although the Oasis platform is now just a game, any new project will basically have some unexpected problems, testing is not a panacea, and the actual application environment of the project is far more complex than the test environment.

Even if it's BLZ, when their Battle.net platform was just launched, players must still remember the tragic scene at the beginning.

WOW 4.0 This expansion update, how many players kneel in front of the "little red dragon", update the expansion pack needs to pass five levels and kill six generals, only the lucky ones can embark on the road to save Azeroth. This can already be regarded as a relatively serious operational accident.

It took a short period of time for the Battle.net platform to be stable from launch, and in this short period of time, every update will show various problems, large and small, which is the problem brought about by the complexity of the actual application environment.

Of course, the expected number of visits to the Oasis platform and the number of downloads of "Lost Secrets" are certainly not as good as BLZ and his WOW at the time, but for a new platform. No amount of preparation can be done during the online period.

This time, the Oasis platform was launched, and the biggest pressure was not the download pressure of new games, but the verification of the games that players had already downloaded through other platforms, and a small patch to make them be recognized by the Oasis platform and upgraded to a dedicated version of the Oasis platform.

This feature has been tested before and has performed well, but it is not ruled out that there will be problems when using it in practice.

The Lost Wonderlands version of the Oasis platform is not common with other platforms, and is specifically optimized for multiplayer and mods.

Players who have purchased the game on any platform can link and authenticate their Oasis account and directly obtain the right to use the game without additional fees.

The second pressure comes from the pressure of multiplayer servers. The Oasis platform has built official servers for several popular mods and accumulated relevant experience in server operation.

The Oasis platform is a strategic project of the future Oasis, and for Li Haoming, this battle cannot be lost.

Deep City, Penguin WG Project Team.

After all this time, Penguin has realized the potential of the game Lost Secrets, which is not a one-shot deal, but a long-term trend.

The power of the editor makes various mods give this game a strong stamina, and now on the WG platform, the follow-up sales of "Lost Secrets" have exceeded the sales of the first month, and the number of active players is very stable.

This makes the penguins salivate more about the future oasis, and they have various acquisition plans.

However, helplessly, the future oasis does not have any loopholes in terms of equity, and Su Li's absolute control of the company leaves them with no room to start, so they can only continue to raise the price.

WG has already noticed the future Oasis launch platform plan. Prior to this, WG had repeatedly negotiated with Future Oasis to cancel the platform plan.

They put forward a lot of cooperation plans, including in-depth cooperation between Oasis and WG in the future, and WG also proposed a series of conditions such as reducing relevant shares and increasing publicity resources.

However, standing across from them was Li Haoming, a person who knew them very well.

Li Haoming rejected all of Penguin's proposals, strongly promoted the Oasis platform plan, and achieved early launch.

"There are two development trends for the Oasis platform in the future, one is to become a digital publishing platform channel, and the other is to become its own platform similar to Blizzard Battle.net."

"The first road is now basically blocked, there are steam, oranges, etc. all over the world, and there are still us in the country, and there are no tracks for them to open. So their route is the second one, to become a platform dedicated to running their own games. ”

At the meeting, someone made a simple analysis of the Oasis platform again, and this time the Oasis platform was launched, and the WG project team was really like a big enemy.

Although the Oasis platform is not a digital channel like WG, it seems to be the only one with strong stand-alone R&D capabilities in China. Once the oasis stands on its own in the future, it is possible to develop and grow if the follow-up good works continue.

They are worried that the Oasis platform, which has a huge number of users and a good reputation, will try to enter the battlefield of digital publishing channels and pose a threat to WG.

Attempts to cooperate have failed, and the WG must now do something to counter. Far aside, once WG's current large number of Lost Realm players move their positions, it will definitely be a huge loss.

"The Ministry of Justice is already studying related matters, and in response to the release of a specific version of the Oasis platform this time, the Ministry of Justice is studying matters related to prosecution."

The strength of the Penguin legal department is extraordinary, and with the blessing of Nanshan's home stadium, it can be called strong.

"As for the technical sector......"

"After discussions with several of the company's project teams, we can't develop a game of similar quality to The Lost Realm, and we haven't had any results in cracking the Lost Realm and the editor."

"The encryption of Lost Secret is very strong, and there is currently no hacker group in the world that can crack The Lost Secret and the editor, which is one of the reasons why the subsequent sales of Lost Secret are good."
