Chapter 59: Detailed Setting

The sea dog made feudal superstitious remarks, and Wang Guowei didn't know how to pick it up.

I even regretted finding him a little.

Fortunately, the sea dog didn't continue to entangle after venting a few words, and asked Li Yu instead, "Can you tell me about your needs?"

"Well, the game is set in the Middle Ages, with a bit of fantasy elements."

"Like Fire and Ice, or like the Lord of the Rings?"

"Ice and fire, but there are all kinds of orcs, well, very close to the appearance of humans, multiple ears or something...... It can live up to three times as long as a human being."

"Beast-eared mother? If you want to make a two-dimensional game, you have to keep up with the art resources." The fur dog became a little interested, rubbed his hands and said, "It's good to sell meat, selling meat is the right way in the world, but now that the approval is getting stricter and stricter, it is not easy to pass the trial."

"It's not two-dimensional, it's a realistic style, and the biggest feature of the game is reality."

Hearing Li Yu's words, the fur dog snorted and laughed.

"What, what's wrong with the truth?" Wang Guowei on the side was puzzled.

"Nine out of ten games that claim to be true will die. Successful people like Tarkov are just an example, and they don't have much reference value."

"At the end of the day, hardcore is just something that a very small group of players talk about, and most of them just play games for fun. The reality is bad enough, who wants to go and experience it again in the game."

"Makes sense." Wang Guowei nodded repeatedly.

"But you're the boss, it's up to you, I'm just offering some advice." The fur seal picks up a piece of char siu.

Li Yu continued, "Then a time-traveler came to that world and established a church."

"Business simulation games? But it's rare to start a church, so the player plays as the time-traveler, right......?"

"No, it's not."

"Isn't it? So what does the player play on?"

"Native."

The fur dog was stunned, "Wait, let me take a look, you said you plan to make a game, there is a time-traveler in the game, but it has nothing to do with the player, the player is not a time-traveler, but an indigenous?"

"That's right."

"It's pretty unusual." The fur dog pulled up some more spirits and touched his chin, "Traditional Western fantasy RPG, but with ...... The element of traversal, how come I never thought of this angle, as an ordinary villager, feel the changes brought by the traverser?

"But why the church? Changing it to a kingdom will make it even more popular. That's the template for the standard farming text, and the market acceptance should be higher."

"Because I want to do something different, something that no one has ever done before." Li Yu said.

"One of the common mistakes made by novice producers is to blindly innovate," Haidog continued, "In fact, most of the projects in the industry are copied by you and me, and at most with some fine-tuning, this is because capital prefers projects that can bring stable returns.

"Investors, they all hope that the money they have invested can be recovered, you say you want to do an open world, what style to do, these investors don't really care, but you say you want to benchmark against Genshin Impact, then investors will understand and will invest money in you, because Genshin Impact is very hot, and it has been proven that this model can be successful.

"Whether you can copy it or not is another matter, at least the money has been obtained.

"So sometimes it's not that producers or planners just want to follow the trend and rush to do a certain type of competing product, the main thing is that you want to do something else, especially something new, it's hard to get money, and you're killed when you set up the project...... In the end, I have to come back and pinch my nose and continue copying."

The fur seal sighed, his expression a little complicated.

Li Yu didn't interrupt his emotion, and it wasn't until he finished speaking that he spoke again, "Don't worry about profitability, our game is customized, just to meet some private needs, and it will not flow to the market."

"Is that so?" The fur seal was a little surprised, but didn't say anything more.

In recent years, rich people have a lot of habits, and a big family surnamed Ma also brought all the kung fu actors to make a movie together to realize his martial arts dream.

Someone wants to make one

It's nothing to play the game on its own.

So the sea dog no longer helped Li Yu do any market analysis, and began to seriously discuss the upgrade curve and rewards with him.

Especially in terms of rewards, the sea dog focused on asking Li Yu more about the world background and the settings related to the traverser.

Hai Dog has been planning for so many years, and he thinks that his thinking is relatively agile, and he is quick to conceive something. But compared with Li Yu, he could only bow to the wind.

The two were obviously talking about the fictional setting, and Li Yu didn't prepare any information documents in advance, but he answered all questions, and answered them almost without thinking at the same time, and even the sea dog deliberately asked some very detailed questions.

Li Yu also answered almost in seconds, and the sea dog thought that Li Yu was just talking nonsense at first, but as he asked more and more, the sea dog discovered something that made his scalp tingle.

That is, all of Li Yu's answers do not have any logical conflict, but can corroborate each other and interlock.

This guy ...... Did you write hundreds of thousands of words of background setting? It covers all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and even the local customs are made up with noses and eyes, which has to be a big project.

As a copywriter, no one knows the difficulty better than the fur seal.

And all this is actually just a game that will not be released at all, which makes the sea dog feel even more shocked, and even awe-inspiring.

Hai Dog recorded everything Li Yu said with a voice recorder, and then said seriously, "Give me five days, and I will give you the first version of the upgrade system, and then if you have any problems, you can give me feedback, and I will modify it for you, and I will ensure that you are satisfied."

"That's trouble." Li Yu was also very happy here, and first made a deposit of 3,000 yuan.

The sea dog paused, and then asked Li Yu, "Can I still play the game after it is finished?" I didn't think I needed to focus too much on realism when making games, but the world you depicted really piqued my interest."

"Brother Dog, even if you say it so seriously, you just want to see the beast-eared lady in it." Wang Guowei complained.

"............" The fur seal was told the central matter, and the old face turned red.

But then I heard Li Yu say, "I'm afraid not, this game is not open to the public."

"That's a shame." The fur seals were slightly disappointed.

After the three of them finished eating, Hai Dog and Li Yu added WeChat to each other, and then went back to work, leaving Wang Guowei full of curiosity and asked Li Yu.

"Aren't you in a management consulting firm, why did you suddenly start making games again? And why don't you take it seriously and come to the fur seals."

"You didn't recommend the fur dog to me, is there anything wrong with him?" Li Yu frowned.

"There is no problem in terms of ability, but now that I think about it, what he said may also make sense, some people are Kefu, Brother Dog is more grammatical projects, and all the projects he participates in are yellow in the end."

"Don't worry about this, it's definitely not going to be yellow this time." Li Yu affirmed.
