Chapter 187: Boss Shabi is finally down to business
After watching two episodes of the TV series, Li Ang was full of emotion.
This is a TV series with a historical theme, which is completely different from the time-travelers in the game.
History is cold and cruel, and every viewer knows what will happen to these soldiers after they withdraw to Jinling, and how many of them will survive.
This is a TV series destined to end tragically.
However, due to the relatively novel angle of entry, the actors' acting skills are excellent, and the war special effects are also very outstanding, the current score of the drama on Douban sauce is quite high, much higher than that anti-Japanese drama.
It is foreseeable that it will inevitably become a classic anti-Japanese war film like "My Leader, My Regiment" and "Bright Sword".
After watching the TV series, you have to continue working.
Now Leon is directing the AI to produce the last non-virtual reality game he has curated.
After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and then on May 1 this year, virtual reality gaming headsets will officially go on sale. At that time, almost two years had passed since the aliens gave him, and he had to use a virtual reality headset to complete the collection of one million "emotions" in a year, and the time was still very short.
After the Chinese New Year, he will devote all his energy to virtual reality games.
Therefore, he will no longer personally handle those games on the computer and mobile phones, but just like "Journey to the Star Sea", he will only provide various tools, so that his employees can plan their own plans, make their own games, and operate their own games.
The last game that Li Ang is working on is the tomb robbery masterpiece that has been serialized on the end Chinese network for nearly two years and has just completed 10 million words, "Tomb Robber Alliance".
Of course, in order to hype up this IP first, under the arrangement of Lao Tang, the comic copyright, TV series copyright, and movie copyright of "Tomb Robber Alliance" have found corresponding partners and are in full swing in preparation and development.
The development of the game was handed over to Leon, or rather, to the non-existent Monsley RaiseSky studio, and is expected to be released in the second half of 2020.
Tomb Robbers is an action-adventure game similar to the Tomb Raider series, the Mystic Sea series, and the Just Defend series.
The reason why I say similar is that there is a certain difference between League of Grave Robbers and the action-adventure games of these series.
In contrast to the "Tomb Raider" series, the protagonist finds a clue, and then enters the ruins of an ancient civilization, defeats various enemies, solves mysteries, and finally finds treasures, which are mixed with elements of combat, puzzle solving, exploration, ancient civilization and culture, etc.
This series of games pays more attention to the whole process of this adventure.
And "Tomb Robber Alliance" is different, although it also has elements such as combat, puzzle solving, exploration, ancient culture, etc., but in terms of subject matter, it is more inclined to the element of "horror".
Just like at the beginning, "Ghost Lights", "Tomb Robbery Codex" and the like are actually placed under the genre of horror and thriller.
The main theme of "Tomb Robbers" is "tomb robbery", which is a unique cultural theme composed of ancient funeral culture, feng shui, luck theory, causal theory, national customs and other cultural elements with Chinese characteristics.
It has unique cultural characteristics that cannot be scientifically explained, is still in the concept of feudal superstition, and has a certain traditional legend and mythology.
But it is not like the "Resident Evil" series, the "Silent Ridge" series, and the "Escape" series, which are purely horror games, and it also has a strong adventure attribute.
It can be said that it is a special genre of game genre between traditional adventure games and traditional horror games.
It's not easy to bring the genre to life in a game.
It's like a monster that appears in a tomb robbery game, such as zombie dumplings or something. It can't behave like a monster in a traditional adventure game, knocking it down with one blow, like mowing grass, or like a nightmare like a traditional horror game.
It has to be terrifying enough to put enough pressure on the player, but with the right methods, it can kill and give enough thrill. The grasp of this degree is a great test of the strength of the game producer.
And unlike the "Tomb Raider" series, most of the stories of "Tomb Robbers" take place in the tombs, in a pitch black situation, and most of the time you need to use other lighting tools to get a view, flashlights, torches, night pearls, etc.
It is also difficult to make the game feel the surrounding situation and get different visual feedback when using different lighting tools, and the application of light and shadow in the game is also very difficult.
If all the development work is left to artificial intelligence, it can indeed make the game based on it, but it may not be able to grasp the overall atmosphere of the game as expected.
After all, the atmosphere and feeling this kind of thing are very subjective, just like the same horror movie, some people find it scary, some people find it boring, and some people can't help but want to laugh.
The atmosphere created by artificial intelligence may not fit Leon's mind.
In addition, there are ten tombs, and the environment, climate, characteristics, lighting conditions, and even cultural atmosphere of each tomb are different, which requires Li Ang to put forward opinions again and again, revise the version of the version, confirm it little by little, and finally complete the game.
It's not hard, but it's a time-consuming job.
Of course, because the ontology is full of 10 million words, the plot of each tomb also has millions of words, and there are countless branches during the period, and the game is open-ended, which allows players to change the original plot and save the female characters who should have died in the original book, so the game content is very large.
Leon plans to make this game an adult product, one game a year, and ten years.
As long as the quality of the game is excellent, coupled with the popularity of TV series and movies, as well as the gimmick of changing the plot, saving the heroine, and ending the tragedy, it should be able to sell well.
Of course, the launch of virtual reality gaming headsets will inevitably have a great impact on the entire computer and console games, resulting in a decline in sales of all traditional games.
I can only wait for a later time.
……
Just as Leon was busy in front of the computer, there was a knock on the door of the president's office.
"Come in." Leon looked up.
It was Old Tang who came in, and his face was a little not very good-looking.
"What? What's the matter? Leon was puzzled.
"Mr. Li, there is someone who wants to see you." Old Tang looked serious.
"Who? Can't you see it for me? Leon said he didn't understand.
"Probably ......" Old Tang's face was a little ugly: "Probably not, the other party's origin is a bit big." ”
"Big deal? Who the hell is it? Leon also got serious.
"Out of the group, handsome guys, big and strong."
