"Mr. Guan, this is the framework we designed", Zhang Dawei handed the materials in his hand to Guan Huang and continued:

"We have sorted out all kinds of monster stories in ancient books, and referred to some folklore and local chronicles, and divided the monster NPCs into four parts: demons, spirits, ghosts, and monsters, and there are currently more than 500 kinds of monsters, which is almost enough for ......"

When Guan Huang heard this, he interrupted him with interest, "Oh, demons, spirits, ghosts, and monsters, this is quite interesting, how do you divide it?" ”

Zhang Dawei: "The ancient scriptures record that the pretense of people is a demon, the nature of things is the spirit, the soul is a ghost, the abnormality of things is a monster, and the goblins and ghosts are different. ”

Guan Huang smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of water: "It's okay, Dawei, you know so much about monster stories." ”

Zhang Dawei replied "hehe": "Mr. Guan, this, I don't dare to take credit, the monster atlas is the summary of Mr. Zhang Yun, an expert we specially hired." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Dawei: "Mr. Zhang Yun has studied Chinese ghost stories for decades, loves demons like his life, and has a good understanding of all kinds of wild history notes and folk anecdotes, so we hired him as the cultural consultant of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". ”

Guan Huang: "Yes, where is Mr. Zhang?" ”

Zhang Dawei was embarrassed: "We usually contact us by phone, and he doesn't live in Haicheng." ”

Guan Huang: "Oh, it's okay, let's see when it's appropriate, let's visit once." ”

"Okay."

Guan Huang: "It's a good way to hire a cultural consultant. ”

Zhang Dawei: "My main consideration is that since "Pokemon" can't be discussed, let's completely make an original "Chinese Monster", small Japan can, it doesn't make sense that we can't, thousands of years of cultural accumulation, there are too many materials to count. ”

Guan Huang was overjoyed, and with this motivation, he was half successful, and said in his mouth: "You can just let it go, since it is the first augmented reality game, you must pass the quality and leave no regrets." ”

Zhang Dawei: "Don't worry, Mr. Guan, I think so too, now that the basic framework has been put up, the rest is to follow the map." ”

Guan Huang thought for a while: "According to the previous decision, "Pokemon" will be stuck, and we will follow the Chinese style, highlighting the mysterious and aesthetic color." ”

Zhang Dawei: "Okay. ”

Guan Huang picked up the information and picked one casually and said: "Xuannu, the body of a bird, the head of a person, skills: "The Secret of Three Views", "Five Tone Schemes", "The Art of Yin and Yang", "Yin Fu Jing", this is the setting? ”

Zhang Dawei took over: "Well, it is considered a boss level, Xuannu, the earliest in the Song Dynasty Zhang Junfang "Yun Ji Seven Signs", it is said that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor once met Xuannu in a dream and was given secret techniques. ”

Guan Huang flipped it over, and then read, "Su Yu, shaped like a white tiger, with black stripes, a long tail, does not eat people, and has the faith of virtue." ”

Zhang Dawei: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas is contained, and King Wen of Zhou once dedicated it to King Zhou. ”

Guan Huang put down the information, "Well, you are an expert in this area, just grasp it yourself, you must pay attention to the diversity of types, after all, it is to build a new monster world, it is impossible to say less, but there is no need to make thousands of species." ”

"Okay."

Guan Huang: "Pokémon has a main story, should we design one?" ”

The general idea of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is: use your mobile phone to catch monsters, accept them as pets, and fight online.

Zhang Dawei: "I haven't considered the main story yet, but it's better to have one, after all, the story is inherently communicative, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" with a story is easy to be accepted by everyone." ”

Guan Huang: "That's right. ”

Zhang Dawei: "Our initial consideration is the growth story of a hot-blooded teenager after getting an adventure. ”

Guan Huang smiled: "Won't it be too vulgar?" ”

Zhang Dawei: "The simpler the story, the more it can be substituted, and the rest is left to the players to play by themselves." ”

Guan Huang thought about it, this is the reason.

Just like Hollywood superhero films, the plot is simple and suspenseless, and it is okay to pay attention to the play of some royal elements, growth, and responsibility......

Zhang Dawei opened the information in his hand, and then said: "Although technology is important, but the plot can not be ignored, sometimes very rough game pictures can bring moving, some games now, will use particularly high-end expression techniques, such as fine character models, fluttering clothes with physical expression, excellent skill special effects, sweet dubbing, film-level CG cutscenes, these elements can not produce qualitative changes to the expression of the plot, and the expression dimension is the real key." ”

Guan Huang remembered the game he had played before, and nodded involuntarily: "Some expression elements are very low, such as screens, special effects, text, music, sound effects, repetition, etc., but the expression techniques and expression effects are not low at all." ”

Zhang Dawei agreed, "It's true, showing off skills sometimes doesn't bring emotion. ”

Guan Huang recalled: "Many years ago, I played a stand-alone war chess game "Wind Fantasy", it was still a summer vacation, I was fascinated by this game in front of the computer for a summer vacation, there were touches, tears, and laughter. I still remember every detail of it. The plot production of this game is super-first-class. ”

Du Wenquan took over: "I know that the story line of "Wind Fantasy" is not complicated, and there is no polyamory in character entanglements, but it has a huge world view, which is also where "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" wants to learn from each other. ”

"Worldview?"

Du Wenquan: "That's right, it takes place in a huge world system, and the plot shown to the player is the tip of the iceberg of this huge world system, everyone has his own story, even if it is a supporting role, a sub-supporting role, or even a dragon set, they have their own story, and they will constantly fill the player's consciousness through the mouths of various passers-by NPCs, so that players can understand a full world." ”

Guan Huang nodded: "That's right." ”

Zhang Dawei glanced at Du Wenquan and continued: "The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" I envisioned, when played alone, is a multi-week game with many ruins to explore, and when multiplayer is online, it is a very fun world. ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Dawei: "Every character in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has its own mission and will, each boss is a legend alone, and every updated version is an iterative development of the storyline. ”

Guan Huang agrees: "The fun of the game lies in the exploration, and each exploration is a unique footprint left by the player. ”

Zhang Dawei: "When a game can move players or something, or players can leave a footprint in it, then the game really plays its value. ”
