Chapter 8 Two old classmates and a double bed
"A pixel-style martial arts game?" Leon chewed on the word carefully, and became interested.
The so-called pixel style is a game art style that simulates the painting style of the previous red and white machines, arcade machines, and old-fashioned computer games in terms of picture performance, so as to have a certain nostalgic atmosphere.
In terms of money and manpower, pixel-style pictures can save art costs and shorten the production cycle. With limited time and money, choosing to make a pixel-style game is a good choice.
Moreover, to make a pixel-style game, the game maker does not need to pursue gorgeous picture effects, and can focus more on the expansion of the game content, making the game more playable and more able to give full play to the player's imagination.
Because of these characteristics, making pixel-style games is very popular among small game production teams, and there are many pixel-style indie games on the market now, among which there are many examples of small cost, small production, and finally big sales, and success.
But the key point of this idea is not in the pixel style, but in the words "martial arts game"!
Martial arts culture is one of the unique characteristic cultures of China, with a unique cultural phenomenon and a solid group of supporters. There is also a cultural term firmly tied to martial arts culture, "kung fu", which has become a cultural term in the eyes of foreigners.
Although there have been many martial arts games in recent years, most of them are pit dads online games that sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, all of which are pure pit money goods, but they just use the name of a martial arts novel, which is essentially no different from other fantasy themes, magic themes, and Xianxia theme pit money online games.
In these games, there is no sword world, no chivalrous righteousness, no love for children, hatred of the country and family, and some are just the system made for the sake of money, one activity after another, and one game concept for money.
And the martial arts theme of the stand-alone game,Since the collapse of the golden age of domestic stand-alone more than ten years ago,It's almost impossible to see it on the market.,Occasionally, there is one.,It's also a renovation of the old work many years ago.,And the gameplay of the old work is almost the same.,Although I also tried to add some new things.,The picture is more refined.,But there is not much innovation in nature.。
But even these classic refurbisheds, high-definition resets, and sentimental souvenirs, as soon as they were listed, they still sold well.
For example, "Jianghu Little Shrimp", which was launched last year, is a new remake of "Wulin Little Shrimp" more than ten years ago. When this game first came out, there were a lot of bugs, the optimization was very poor, and the lag was everywhere, but because it is an extremely rare martial arts-themed stand-alone game in recent years, it has sold more than 500,000 sets so far, which is the best in domestic stand-alone. After that, he went to G Fat Family's Stiem, and the English version was released, and there were more than 10,000 sales per month, which was better than the vast majority of domestic stand-alone games in recent years.
It can be seen from this that martial arts fans, game fans, and ardent desire for an excellent domestic martial arts stand-alone machine. As well as martial arts-themed stand-alone games, independent games have, a broad market prospect.
But in Li Ang's mind, a real martial arts game should be a real-time combat game! That is, the legendary ARPG game. It's not a turn-based game where you hit me and I hit you; It's not a pseudo-real-time turn-based game that looks at the speed of the bar; Nor is it a game of war chess or semi-war chess that needs to be carefully arranged step by step and carefully arranged......
Martial arts should be hot-blooded, should go straight, should be fist-to-flesh, should be bloody, should be a master duel, a sword to seal the throat, should be a single rush, fight the heroes!
Even the 1V1 arcade fighting competition game and the side-scrolling game are a little bit less interesting, and the only one that almost meets the standard of real martial arts games in Li Ang's mind is only more than ten years ago, the "Sword and Sword Sealed Demon Record" series that was born in the golden age of domestic stand-alone games!
However, for so many years, Leon has never seen a game like this. Yes, there have been countless real-time combat games abroad in recent years, among which there are many classic games and excellent games. But those games all have Western-style story backgrounds, full of Western-style personal heroism, and embody various Western-style values.
There is nothing in these games that Li Ang or other martial arts fans have been striving for, the one that has been hidden in the bottom of my heart since childhood, the one that has been imagined countless times, and the foreigner will never be able to do it, and will not do it......
Martial arts dream!
Suppressing the ripples in his heart, Li Ang looked at Abin next to him: "What type of game did you make?" Horizontal board pass or ......"
"I'll show you this directly, I can't explain it clearly in a sentence or two." Abin interrupted Leon's question, and as he spoke, he walked in the direction of the bedroom and beckoned to Leon.
Leon followed.
This house is not big, about 7,80 square meters, two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, the bedroom is on the left side of the living room, and the bathroom is on the right.
The two bedrooms face each other, one with two folding beds side by side, covered with quilts piled up in a ball. There was also a folding bed folded up against the wall. There was a mess of clothes on a table next to it, two suitcases in the corner, and there was nothing more.
The other bedroom was slightly better-decorated, with a double bed in the center, a few beer bottles on one side of the bedside table, some clothes and socks on the other bedside table, and a small TV on the opposite side of the bed, and an open laptop on the TV stand.
Abin walked straight over, picked up the laptop, then sat down on the bed, patted the bed next to him and beckoned Li Ang to sit down, and began to introduce: "That's right, what we plan to do is a pixel-style, sandbox-type, open-map martial arts game, temporarily named "Wulin Mythology", which tells the story of a rookie who walks into the rivers and lakes, and then grows step by step, and finally becomes a story of martial arts mythology......"
While speaking, he planned to open the file and show it to Li Ang, but he didn't click the document out for a long time.
After touching his body a few more times, Abin's face was slightly embarrassed, and he shouted out of the door: "Ah Feng, have you seen my USB flash drive?" It's the USB flash drive that holds the PPT. ”
"Oh, here I am." Wang Feng, the little man in the living room, walked in while eating buns, took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket, and handed it to Abin.
It's just that Li Ang can see that he is a little reluctant to hand over the USB flash drive, and his expression is a little hesitant, and he opens his mouth to say something, as if he doesn't want to hand the USB flash drive to Abin at all.
"Li Ang is my old classmate for many years, a good brother, and an executive of a large company, can he still plagiarize our ideas?" Abin saw through the little man's thoughts at a glance, snatched the USB flash drive, and waved his hand impatiently: "I'm not worried about this boss, why are you worried?" Go out and eat your breakfast! ”
Seeing the little man leave embarrassedly, Abin looked back at Li Ang and snorted: "See you laugh, see you laugh, this kid hasn't seen anything in the world." ”
As he spoke, he inserted the USB flash drive into the notebook, and then opened a PPT file from the USB flash drive.
