Chapter 271: Large-scale online game "Fantasy World"

"Here we are."

The elevator went all the way up, and the two came to the 16th floor of the Penguin Building.

"Floors 14 to 20 are where the game department works, and most of the main development team of Fantasy World is on this floor."

Ma Teng introduced.

"Mr. Ma!"

As soon as the two stepped out of the elevator door, they were greeted by a man wearing a plaid shirt, heavy lenses, and a little thinning hair.

Zhang Yang looked at the other party curiously, and then looked around.

It seems that most of the people on the whole floor are dressed in similar attire, plaid shirts, more or less hair, and all wearing glasses.

Is this what a game programmer is?

Publicity, I don't know how to feel it!

"He is the chief designer of "Fantasy World", Tang Cong." Ma Teng introduced: "This is Mr. Zhang of Xuanyu! ”

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Tang!"

The two got to know each other briefly, and Ma Teng said: "Tang Cong, you can introduce the development progress of "Fantasy World" to Mr. Zhang, and talk about it in detail. ”

"Okay, please come with me."

Tang Cong led the way in front.

The three of them went to a conference room and turned on the projector.

"Fantasy World is still in development, and many things have not yet been determined, and these are only tentative plans." Tang Cong clicked on a computer file, and many words appeared on the projector screen.

"This is the current tentative world view of "Fantasy World", and the development team intends to use the Big Dipper in "Covering the Sky" as the prototype as the game's world map......"

Tang Cong introduced a lot of settings.

As an MM game, the world map of "Fantasy World" is very large, and the first launch will open the Big Dipper as the first version of the world map.

Players can choose one of these factions as their own class to roam in the Big Dipper.

Moreover, the game map is a fully open world, which means that when the player passes through the map, they do not need to reload but can directly move over without any lag.

Players in the game have a variety of ways to play, PVE, PVP, collection, life, cultivation, alchemy...... and other fantasy classic settings.

And these ways of playing are not useless.

Similar to gathering, players can collect extremely rare immortal elixirs in the ancient holy land in the game, and then use them for alchemy or sell.

In general, the gameplay of this game is actually the gameplay of most of the current online games, and then slightly varied in some localizations, and nothing else has changed much.

Zhang Yang frowned slightly.

Although similar gameplay is good, to be honest, there is nothing new, and he doesn't like it very much.

"Fantasy World" must last long enough, and there must be innovation in the gameplay, but according to Tang Cong, there is a meaning of changing the soup without changing the medicine, and he also feels that the world view is a bit problematic.

However, he didn't say it directly, but waited until Tang Cong had introduced it all before expressing his thoughts.

Tang Cong lifted his glasses and said, "...... That's basically the case, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ma, what do you think? ”

"I think it's good, what do you think?" Ma Teng asked.

After pondering for a few seconds, Zhang Yang said slowly: "I don't know how to make a game, but I have some ideas about playing games, Mr. Tang, why don't I tell me my opinion?" ”

"Please!"

Tang Cong didn't show dissatisfaction.

"I told Mr. Ma that "Fantasy World" is not just an IP, but dozens of fantasy are going to be made, is the current world view not suitable? How to link up when you update the new version in the future? ”

As soon as he brought it up, Tang Cong was stunned for a moment.

"The original idea of the development team was to develop several new copies every time a new version was launched, and then integrate the new worldview into it."

"I don't think it's good." Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "According to what you said, the main world map of the game is still based on "Covering the Sky", but other fantasy and "Covering the Sky" have their own different worldviews and cultivation systems, which is too noisy. ”

Tang Cong frowned and thought for a while, wanting to refute, but couldn't think of a reason.

"Fantasy World", as the name suggests, is to fuse many fantasy worlds together, but the current idea is more appropriate to call it 'Covering the Sky World'.

"What does Mr. Zhang have in mind?"

"Have you ever heard of Infinite Streaming?"

Zhang Yang asked.

"I haven't heard of it." Tang Cong shook his head.

"I've heard it, it's the main god space! What kind of player travels through multiple worlds? ”

Ma Teng hurriedly interjected.

"What do you mean?"

Tang Cong was puzzled.

Ma Teng explained: "This is a genre in the online text, where the main god space is very popular by selecting participants, completing tasks in various worlds, and then returning to the main god space to obtain rewards. ”

"That's right!" Zhang Yang said: "The worldview of "Fantasy World" can refer to the idea of infinite streams. ”

"It's good to set up an overworld and call it the main god space or some other name, anyway, it is a place for players to relax, relax, and redeem rewards, similar to the main city or safe zone in other games.

Then the other sub-worlds will be made into copies in the form of quests for players to experience. These dungeons can be made into boss battles, or player duels, or large-scale battlefield missions, and can also connect multiple fantasy worlds. ”

"At the same time, I suggest blurring the division of professions, the cultivation system in "Covering the Sky" is the Great Emperor and the Red Dust Immortal, the "Yang God" has human immortals and Yang gods, and there is a special cultivation system in the Torrent Stream, and the traditional cultivation of true immortals also has traditional cultivation systems such as foundation building and out-of-body learning, each of which may have a unique cultivation system. All of these add up, how many dozens of careers can be made? ”

"It's better to blur the division of professions, players can exchange the corresponding cultivation methods or realms in the main god space after completing the task, each cultivation system can provide corresponding unique skills, so that there can be a lot of permutations and combinations, and it can also greatly delay the player's graduation time and improve the life of the game.

Even every time a new version is updated, a cultivation system can be developed, and at the same time, the arrangement of skills can change dozens of times, but this will be more complicated, so certain restrictions must be made in the game, so that players must choose their favorite among many permutations and combinations, and the most suitable and convenient one! ”

"In addition, the importance of life professions should also be increased, unlike other games, rare items must be obtained through dungeons or exchanges, and the life professions in "Fantasy World" can be made like this, and you can create rare things by yourself."

In addition, it is necessary to strictly formulate the financial system and open the game's own exchange platform, so that players can buy point cards or gold coins directly online without private transactions.

As long as a game can make people make money, then its lifespan will be greatly increased! ”
