"What kind of mythological story is used as the background of the game?"

The idea of using mythological stories as the background of the game was proposed by Li Xiang, so Sun Wencheng also wanted to hear what Li Xiang had to say.

"What I want is to create the plot of the game based on the stories of "Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West". Li Xiang said.

The reason why he said this was influenced by the web novels he had read before.

There are many online novels that arrange the characters and events in "Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" to form a new world view and story.

Usually, the main characters and events in the novel formed by the fusion and adaptation of these two masterpieces will be retained, but some details will be different.

It's okay to take out "Romance of the Gods" or "Journey to the West" separately as the background of the game, but Li Xiang feels that since it is a design game, it can't be bound by existing things.

If one of them is really adapted into a game alone, it will be a cliché.

To do it, you have to make something different.

This is also the main reason why Li wanted to integrate the content of these two books.

Sun Wencheng frowned when he heard this idea, and asked with some concern: "The backgrounds of these two books are different, will it seem too complicated to do them together?" ”

His thoughts were the opposite of Li Xiang's, and he felt that it was simpler and clearer to take out the plot of one of the books alone and make it into a game.

Besides, if the contents of these two books are really fused into a story in the background, then he will be blind as a planner.

Although Sun Wencheng also reads online novels, he has never been exposed to stories that put characters from different books in the same context, let alone let him handle it.

It's too hard to get it!

"It's not complicated." Li Xiang saw that Sun Wencheng was a little worried, so he explained: "Let's just borrow the mythological background of these two books, and then use the plot in them as inspiration for secondary creation.

To put it more simply, it is actually borrowing the oldest mythological characters in our country, such as Nuwa Niangniang, Taishang Laojun, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Buddha.

"Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" are both great works, which were written by predecessors.

We just learn from the experience of our predecessors to create our own scripts, and we don't necessarily have to force these two books together. ”

Li wanted to explain his thoughts in a language he understood, but he felt that it was not enough, so he asked, "Do you usually read online novels?" ”

"Huh? See. Sun Wencheng was thinking about Li Xiang's words, and suddenly was asked such a sentence, and hurriedly returned to the Dao.

"Then you go and search for a book called "Buddha's Fellow Path", the author is Oneiroi Machine, this book is relatively early, but it should be searchable, you can refer to how he wrote it." Li Xiang recommended.

"Okay, I'll look it up when I'm off work." Sun Wencheng wrote it down in his notebook, thinking that after the meeting with Li Xiang, he would go to read the book and look for inspiration.

The background and plot of the story have to be organized by him to create, and he can't help but pay attention to it!

"That's it for this one. What do you think of Mr. Xue's third request? For the third requirement, Li Xiang really didn't understand.

Although heroes can also be purchased by recharging in the popular "Canyon Battle", the hero with the highest price is only 45 yuan.

Xue Kui deliberately explained that he wanted to make a 1000 yuan character in his game, who is this going to sell to?

No one will buy it at all!

Sun Wencheng thought of it a little and said, "I guess, Xue always wants to set some rare characters to be available for purchase. ”

"Rare characters?" Li Xiang was puzzled in his heart, and immediately understood what Sun Wencheng wanted to express: "Xue always wants to clearly mark the price of rare characters and cut off the lottery." ”

Sun Wencheng nodded.

This has to talk about the usual method of 'Penguin Technology' - lottery.

Any rare and limited thing can be carried out by lottery, 5 yuan single draw, 50 yuan 11 consecutive draws!

It can be said that Penguin Technology has profoundly taken advantage of the players' desire to 'grow big with a small amount' and played the lottery set clearly.

"Mr. Xue probably doesn't want everyone to spend money in vain." Sun Wencheng sighed with emotion, thinking that Xue Kui did this, which was equivalent to directly dispelling the idea of recharging most players.

"Let's not worry about what Xue always thinks, we just need to find a reason that is attractive enough for the 1,000 yuan." Although Li Xiang didn't understand the reason why Xue Kui did this, after discussing with Sun Wencheng in the past two days, he also had some understanding and opinions on making games.

In the past, as a pure player, he never cared about the things that needed to be considered when making games.

If a game is fun, he will play it, and if it is not fun, delete the game immediately, and never waste time.

But now that he has suddenly become a game producer, and with a higher salary than his father, he has a little pride in his heart, and he also wants to do this job as well as possible.

Although Xue Kui told him that it was okay to mess up, he was not a fool and knew that the boss's words could not be fully believed.

If it's really messed up, then the employees won't have to take the blame?

Although I don't have professional game design knowledge, years of gaming experience are not covered.

Under what circumstances can players be willing to pay 1,000 yuan for this character?

Li Xiang knows this answer very well - when he wants to pretend to be bi.

Loading BI is the core driving force that drives players to recharge.

Spending such a high price to buy a character is just listening to the opponents and teammates shouting: "Big brother is awesome?" ”

Sun Wencheng nodded, he also knew that now was not the time to consider why Xue Kui was giving this request.

What he and Lee want to do now is to turn this requirement into a profitable point.

"In order for players to pay, the first thing you have to do is to design the characters to look good enough." Sun Wencheng, who knows that players are visual animals, said seriously: "Secondly, we must set up some special places for these characters. ”

Li Xiang nodded and added: "The character must be good-looking, as for the special place... You can add some more passive skills to these characters, for example, normal characters have up to 6 passive skills, then these paid characters can have 8 or even 10 passive skills! ”

"Doesn't that break the balance of the game?" Sun Wencheng wondered.

"Yes, it's about breaking the balance." Li Xiang said very seriously: "Think about it, players spend 1,000 yuan to buy this character, it must not be just for good looks, right?" It's got to be a real joy for the players!

And if you think about it, there won't be many players who come to buy such expensive characters, and it won't have a big impact on the game. ”

Sun Wencheng thought about it, felt that Li Xiang was reasonable, nodded and said, "Okay." I have the basic idea, I will sort out the plan when I go back, and then confirm with Mr. Xue, and strive to start work as soon as possible. ”
