Chapter 9 The Legendary PPT Entrepreneur

This is a PowerPoint slide file, which contains a long row of slide pictures and presentations.

Abin clicked on the slide and introduced to Leon: "Let's go on, we are an open-ended sandbox game, although it is pixel style, but the actual map is very large. You see, this is the outline of the map, divided into nine states in the Central Plains, as well as the Western Regions, Beihu, Southern Xinjiang, and the East China Sea, each state has four or five cities, five or six rivers and lakes sects, and seven or eight rivers and lakes for players to explore freely......"

"I see what you mean." After listening for a while, Li Ang nodded: "But the map is so big, and it's a sandbox game, isn't the framework of the whole game too big?" With such a large framework, it will be very difficult to develop, just the three of you, isn't it too ......"

"I naturally know how difficult it is to develop the game, and we'll talk about that later." Abin waved his hand and continued, "I'll introduce some of the game's content first. ”

"Okay, you say." Leon was noncommittal.

So Abin continued: "Although our game is pixel-style, it is a martial arts game after all, and the art style is more realistic, which is different from the cartoon style on the market now. Here are some of the character and scene drawings we made first......"

Li Ang took a closer look at these setting pictures, and it can be seen that Abin has put his heart into the setting, although the character model is simple, but the color matching is natural, there are old people, there are beautiful women, there are reckless men, there are young heroes, there are girls, all of them are full of ancient style, each with its own characteristics, very rare. And all kinds of scenes are also very distinctive, the sand sea in the Western Regions, the grasslands in the northern Xinjiang, and the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are all very well drawn, which shows the strong strength of the artist.

So, Li Ang praised without hesitation: "The art strength of your studio is good, not much worse than our Tiansheng." ”

"What's good, which of the three of us is like an artist? These design drawings and original drawings were specially outsourced and made by others, which cost a lot of money! Abin waved his hand: "Let's go on." ”

As he spoke, he clicked on the next PPT slide and introduced: "Of course, the art style is a part, martial arts games, the most important thing is the gameplay, is the battle mode!" Our "Martial Arts Myth" is different from those turn-based and war-chess on the market, and uses a real-time battle mode! ”

"Oh, what kind of real-time battle mode? How to behave? Leon sat up straight.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Abin had a hint of pride on his face: "If you fight, the specific operation is that the player uses the mouse to manipulate the character to move, and then uses the keyboard to control the character to make moves, and you can also use the mouse wheel to switch between various martial arts, of course, this requires the player to drag various moves to the shortcut bar first...... As you know, Western-style ARPG games, such as the "Dark Lord" series, focus on equipment, and the better the equipment, the more powerful the characters. And our game is different, our game is a martial arts game, focusing on martial arts itself! ”

He opened another slide and explained in detail: "All kinds of equipment are only the conditions for the use of martial arts, and the strength of the characters is not greatly improved, and the martial arts of that door is the core of our game, and it is also the most important component that supports the entire game's combat system!" ”

"There are a lot of martial arts in our game, which are roughly divided into three categories, namely internal skills, moves, and light skills, which players can freely match. These martial arts are also divided into quality levels, which are white road goods martial arts, green low-level martial arts, blue intermediate martial arts, purple high-level martial arts, and golden divine martial arts. ”

"Let's talk about internal strength first, internal strength is the most important factor that determines the player's attributes, according to the different quality of internal strength, the number of cultivation layers, and the different nature of internal strength, players can obtain different basic attributes and attribute growth. For example, this "Pure Yang Gong", it is the peerless school of Qingzhou Pure Yang Palace, the purple level of internal strength, players worship in the Pure Yang Palace, and can be taught after becoming a personal disciple. After cultivating, you can get the internal force of the 'yang' attribute, a total of nine layers, according to the time of cultivation, slowly improve the player's attributes, strength, agility, return speed, etc., as well as the enhancement effect of masculine moves, the offset of the internal power of the 'yin', 'poison' attribute, and the restraint effect ......"

"Of course, there are also restrictions on the cultivation of internal strength, and you can't get any kind of skill that can be practiced. If you practice "Pure Yang Gong", you will not be able to practice the internal skills of "Ice Silkworm Gong", which are yin attributes and cold attributes, and if you practice them, you will only go crazy, reduce the attributes of the characters, and even reduce the attributes to zero in serious cases. However, you can also cultivate high-level internal skills of the same attribute such as the "Great Day True Sutra" to obtain higher attribute bonuses...... Of course, internal power can also be abolished, and after the abolition of chemical power, you can transfer to other exercises......"

"Then there are the moves, the internal strength determines the player's attributes, and the moves determine the player's attack effect, of course, you can also think of them as skills. Different moves also require the coordination of different weapons, such as swordsmanship, which you can't use if you don't have a sword equipped. But the moves are different from the skills in other games, the moves have no cooldown, only the limitation of the internal force attribute, and they cannot be used without internal force, which is also consistent with the setting in ordinary martial arts novels...... The use of most moves requires the consumption of internal force, and the internal force consumed by different moves is also different, and some powerful moves consume a lot of internal force. Of course, the internal force can be supplemented by meditating, taking pills or automatically returning qi, and the high-level internal strength cultivation reaches the peak, and the speed of that return qi is still very fast......"

"There are generally several moves in a move-type martial arts, and the forms of expression are also different. For example, this golden top-level martial art "Divine Dragon Palm Method", its attack effect is to send out a golden flying dragon! As demonstrated in this moving image, as soon as the palm is launched, a dragon flies out and hits the target. The dragon's head, the front dragon claw, the rear dragon claw, and the dragon's tail can cause four attacks on the enemy, with a distinct sense of blow, and a slight knockback effect, which is very powerful. The martial arts of "Divine Dragon Palm" contains nine moves, which are equivalent to nine skills, and players can freely mix and match. For example, this move 'Kang Long has regrets', the momentum is heavy, the dragon sent out is also very large, consumes a lot of internal force, but the damage is extremely high, and it also has a knock-off effect, and for example, this move 'Time by Six Dragons', is a group attack move, one move can send out six dragons in all directions, although the damage is a little smaller, but the coverage is very ......"

"In order to show the different characteristics and sense of blow of various moves, most of the moves have certain special effects, in addition to the above-mentioned knockback, knock flying, there are also stiff, knockdown, pull, fall, penetration, fighting cattle across the mountain and other attack effects. For example, the move in this "Heavenly Pulse Sword Qi" is a piercing effect, this "Yin Snake Finger Amputation" is a stiffening effect, and this "Blizzard Fist" has a slowing effect......"

"Then there is the light work, there are several uses of the light work, one is to hurry, for example, if you learn this green light skill "Flying on the Grass", then your movement speed will increase a lot, and you can save a lot of time by rushing from one place to another. There is also a kind of pursuit, such as this purple "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada", which is the best light skill for short-distance pursuit. The AI intelligence in our game is very powerful, and the boss will flee when he finds that he can't be beaten, and will gather his companions. If you practice this light skill to the highest level, you can use teleportation eight times in a row, which is equivalent to eight flashes in "Silver Bear League"! It's very useful whether it's chasing down enemies with remnants of blood, or dodging boss ultimate......"

"There is also a kind of combat use, which is generally used in boss battles, such as this "Bagua Serial Step", which is a light skill that is good at close combat, that is, you can move freely between the eight points around the boss. After use, it will form eight points around the boss, surround the boss in the middle like a nine-square grid, and directly use the right mouse button to click on these eight points, and the character will quickly move on these eight points to avoid the boss's attacks. Of course, the attack range of the boss is still quite large, and there may be three or four points in the coverage of one move, and if you want to avoid them all, you need the player to predict it. However, in the future, when I encounter some bosses who will attack in a large area, this close-fitting light skill will not come in handy......"

"Also, there are sets of internal strength, moves and light skills, and if they are used together, there will be attribute bonuses. Players can complete all the novice tasks in Daohua Village and get familiar with the basic operations, and they can get a full set of rewards for green martial arts. "Bagua Palm", "Bagua Heart" and "Bagua Serial Steps", if the three doors are used together, the suit effect will be activated, and every step taken in the battle, the attack power of the palm will increase by one percent, and it is very easy to use when fighting the boss. ”

"Then how do you get these martial arts?" Leon asked.

Abin explained: "There are three main ways to obtain martial arts, one is to do tasks, complete tasks, and get rewards. One is to enter the sect, players can go to each sect to participate in the entrance assessment when they leave Daohua Village, and after passing the assessment, they can become a disciple of the sect and get martial arts teaching. The other is to fight monsters, for example, the last mission out of the village in Daohua Village, fight the first boss One Piece, kill him and have a chance to drop the tiger head knife in his hand, as well as the martial arts ...... "Five Tiger Broken Door Knife" he used"

"You say it's a sandbox game, but how do you embody the mission? How is it triggered? Leon asked again, "Also, what is the main gameplay?" ”

"Missions: We use fixed tasks plus random tasks to trigger mode! Martial arts games, you have to have the kind of characteristics of being alone in the rivers and lakes! The kind of courage to move forward in the face of the unknown. After thinking about it, Abin said: "This game is a sandbox game, and what we pursue is freedom!" Players are completely free after entering the novice village and entering the rivers and lakes! He can go to the gate faction to participate in the assessment, worship the entry faction, and become a famous young man. You can also worship those demon cults and become a big devil. You can also not join any sect and be a free ranger and travel the world. ”

"You can even go to the Western Regions, enter the Great Snow Mountain, worship the Great Wheel Temple, enter the Huanxi Sect of the three sects of the Great Wheel Temple, learn the "Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Intersection of Great Happiness Fu", and return to the Central Plains to be a flower thief after completing the study."

"But you also saw that Daohua Village is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the way to the Western Regions is very far, and there are no props or facilities in this game that can teleport, so he must control the characters to go to the Western Regions city by city. But rushing requires physical strength, and if you consume dry food, you must find an inn to rest, buy dry food, and in order to travel quickly, you also need to buy horses and buy horse grass for horses. These are all things that cost money, and he has to raise money for the journey. Along the way, he had to find some and trigger some tasks to make money. ”

"For example, a fixed task, come to a new city, there are a lot of NPCs in it, these NPCs have their own story backgrounds, and after reaching a certain prestige, attributes, or identity requirements, you can receive these tasks, for example, some tasks can only be taken by famous heroes, some tasks can only be taken by characters with superb yang attributes, some tasks can only be received by demon messengers, and some tasks need some adventure props to be accepted, tokens, red handkerchiefs, embroidered shoes or something. There is also a bulletin board in the center of the city, and there will be some fixed tasks such as arresting Jiangyang thieves and exterminating bandits outside the city......"

"Another example is a randomly triggered mission, the time in the game is not static, every certain time, some big things will happen in each city, and players can participate in these big things if they happen to be in this city. For example, if a certain martial arts celebrity has a 60th birthday, he will have the opportunity to be instructed in martial arts, or the boss will come to the door, and the player will turn the tide and gain fame in the rivers and lakes. For example, the daughter of a certain city lord has a competition to recruit relatives, the player goes to participate, defeats all the opponents, and defeats the daughter of the city lord, you can hug the beauty, and the two people travel together in the rivers and lakes, and the player can control the two characters at the same time. There are also some elusive worldly masters, if the player encounters them and passes their test, they may be accepted as disciples and learn the gold-level Divine Skill Treasure Book......"

"These random quests are also hinted at, each city in the game has a place called 'There is an Inn', where the player can control the character to rest, replenish dry food, feed the horses, and, most importantly, ask for information!"

"For example, the new issue of the Sky List, Earth List, and People List has come out, and players can see whether their characters are on the list and where their positions are. For example, if two masters of the Heavenly Ranking have a decisive battle on the top of a certain mountain, then the player can control the character to watch the battle and get an improvement in understanding. For example, if someone is a heroine, where is the Emei faction and kills several villains, the player can go over to meet her, make friends with her, and cultivate feelings. For example, if a certain mountain is surprised, there may be a strange treasure, then the player can control the character to participate in the robbery in the past......"

"Of course, players can also not participate in these things, or participate in the results and fail to beat the opponent. Then the martial arts celebrity may have his whole family killed by the enemy, and finally it will become a task to investigate the truth and take revenge. Then the daughter of the city lord may marry someone else, and after many years, she will become a pair of heroes with others. Then the master of the world may accept others as disciples, and then he may become the enemy of the protagonist. Even that Emei faction woman will be defeated and captured by a certain evil faction, and she will be humiliated and die, triggering a great war between the Emei faction and that evil faction......"

Abin's eyes were shining, and he emphasized passionately: "I want to create a living world, the protagonist was eighteen years old when he left the village, and his life limit is one hundred years old, and in the eighty-two years he has been wandering the rivers and lakes, the entire martial arts world is alive!" According to the established arrangement, all kinds of things are happening at all times! Players can control their characters and roam the rivers and lakes to their heart's content! To participate in that event, to influence the entire martial arts! ”

"But is it too difficult to develop the kind of effect you mentioned? Such a large map, such a large sand table world, and such a huge interactive mission system......" Li Ang wondered.

"Hey, I also know that this game will definitely not be developed with the three-legged cats in my studio, it must require a big team, and it will take a lot of research and development funds." Abin sighed: "But...... I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been to many companies and recommended myself, but none of them are willing to invest. Brother Ang, you have been in the high-tech development zone, do you know anyone? For example, some investors? Or an investment manager in some large company? ”

"People do know a few ......" Li Ang's face was a little difficult: "Although your game idea looks good, it is too difficult to develop." And, with your current studio environment, even if I bring people here, do you think they'll be willing to give you money? ”

"Oh! Brother Ang, you don't have to worry about this! Abin's voice suddenly rose, and he patted his chest and promised, "As long as you can bring someone over for inspection, I can make a regular studio!" ”

"How?" Leon was puzzled.

"You don't understand that, do you?" Abin laughed: "This office can be rented!" It's the kind of office space in a formal office building, hundreds of square meters, in fact, it can be rented! I've asked, it's about 3,000 yuan a day, dozens of office cubicles, computers, desks, chairs, and water dispensers! Company loge, company logo, company name and so on can also be made temporarily! When the time comes, just paste it directly, and you don't need a few dollars. Even those employees in suits and leather shoes can be rented, 120 a day, for you to sit in front of the computer from morning to night, and the performance is really no different. ”

"And this kind of business?" Leon's mouth opened wide.

"yes." Abin sighed: "Today's investors are becoming more and more savvy. It's not like you can cheat by just taking a PPT, oh no, you can pull the investment. So, where there's demand, there's supply. Having a regular place can greatly increase the chances of attracting investment! When the investor's money arrives, it will not be easy to solve the office space? ”

"Alright then, I'll go back and help you ask." After hesitating for a while, Li Ang agreed, although Abin's game idea was difficult to develop and there were still some flaws in the setting, it was indeed a good idea, and he decided to help Abin.

"Brother Ang, you are my eldest brother!" Abin obviously had joy on his face, and he repeatedly promised: "Don't worry, if you really get the investment, I will never forget your benefits!" ”

"Oh, by the way, how far has your game been developed now?" After thinking about it, Leon asked.

"Well...... "Ah" Abin's voice suddenly weakened: "Just these ...... on the computer"

"That's it? These pictures and text? Li Ang was puzzled: "Hasn't your studio been open for two or three years?" Didn't develop anything? Not at all? ”

"yes, it's been open for two or three years." Abin lost a smile on his face and sighed: "I have developed a few small projects before, but they all failed, and I have done program outsourcing for others for more than a year, and I haven't made much money......

"Hey, you also said, it's not time to use a PPT to cheat investment, and now investors are not stupid, even if there is a regular office space, who will invest without something practical?" Leon persuaded, "I think, no matter what, you have to make something first." For example, the relevant content of the novice village and Daohua Village, you can develop it first, and then you can also demonstrate the basic gameplay of the game to investors, so that they can play the boss battle out of the village and feel the charm of the game, so that they will ......"

"Brother Ang, I understand what you said." Abin interrupted Li Ang's words, and pleaded: "However, you have also seen my current situation, and I am not afraid to tell you that I don't have much money anymore, and I don't have enough manpower, so the development will definitely not be successful...... I don't have anything else to do with it, so you can help. ”

Seeing the lonely expression on Abin's face, Li Ang wanted to say, "I can borrow you if I don't have any money", but his mouth opened and he still couldn't say it.

In the end, he patted Abin on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll help you ask when you go back, see if they are interested, and if there is news, I will notify you when the time comes." ”

Hearing Li Ang's assurance, Abin smiled again, nodded again and again, and thanked him repeatedly.

After chatting for a while, Leon took his leave.

One of the two Internet addicts in the living room is still sinking in "Silver Bear League", and the other is fighting in "Collapse 2".

And Abin kept sending Li Ang to the door, and kept saying: "If you find an investor, you call me directly, I will arrange it in advance, and my phone will not be turned off 24 hours a day......"

As soon as he walked out of the door, Leon seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around: "Oh, by the way, besides you, is there anyone else in our class who runs their own game studio?" ”

"And Sister Bai." Abin was obviously a little jealous on his face: "But Sister Bai is not a studio, it can be regarded as a game company, and my little broken studio is compared to her, it is simply a heaven and a earth." ”

"She's doing it so big?" Li Ang was a little surprised: "Do you know the address of her company?" ”

"Oh, I know." Abin didn't hesitate, and said directly: "It's also in Pengcheng, in Tianbao District, Phoenix Building, ......"
