Zhonghai, Magic Dragon Studio.

As one of the top game studios in China, Magic Dragon's reputation in the industry is still very loud.

Their masterpiece magic sword series is also a well-known Xianxia RPG masterpiece in China!

This time, Chen Ba brought people to visit and study in the Magic Dragon Studio, in fact, to learn from the Magic Dragon Studio and exchange development experience with them.

This is also a common occurrence.

In the domestic game industry, there are only a few studios that do stand-alone machines. There is also frequent communication and cooperation between each other, and everyone is an acquaintance in private.

"It shouldn't be......"

Zhong Shengwei muttered: "Normally, isn't it like fire and water with these peers, don't you see me unhappy with you?" ”

"Is it that if we make a game, they have to jump out to mock and belittle, or even fight with us in the ring, and buy a water army to hack us?"

"Isn't it?"

Chen Ba: "......"

This kid, you've seen too much, right?

How can there be such a brainless villain in reality? Maybe everyone's new work will crash, but in that case, it's generally enough to say it.

As for taunting and belittling, or even buying a game of a black friend of the water army, this situation is not uncommon, but it has to be a friend with a particularly high hatred value!

Under normal circumstances, everyone is well water and does not violate river water, you take the Yangguan Road and I cross my single-plank bridge, how can there be so many intersections?

Moreover, this group of people who do stand-alone machines in China have a bit of a "hero cherishes heroes" meaning of each other. There are frequent exchanges in private, and there are no so-called communication barriers.

"The mobile game circle and the online game circle may be a little chaotic, and the relationship between big factories and big factories may be more tense and sensitive."

Chen Ba explained: "As for our small workshops, teams in the form of studios, they are not so exquisite. ”

Although the Magic Dragon Studio is far away in Zhonghai, Chen Ba is no stranger to them, because when developing the triple-A game "Global Evolution", the Magic Dragon Studio was also involved.

Therefore, the meeting between the two sides was quite friendly and harmonious.

The person in charge of the Magic Dragon Studio also led Chen Ba to visit their Wall of Honor, introduced several games they had developed in the past, and introduced the main core cadres of the studio by the way.

"It's a shame to have a magic sword series."

After Chen Ba visited, he said with regret: "I was born at the wrong time, and I didn't meet a good era when players supported the genuine version in the peak period." ”

The Magic Sword series has seven generations.

The third generation is recognized as a masterpiece and the most fun generation of magic sword games to date.

It's a pity that in that era when piracy cracked versions were rampant, Magic Sword 3 did not create a lot of income for the Magic Dragon Studio, and all pirates from all walks of life made money.

Magic Sword 7 just came out last year, and the results were okay, and the steam platform barely sold more than 1.2 million copies, which can be regarded as recovering the production cost.

"In fact, this should be the last generation of the Magic Sword series!"

Xu Hong, the boss of the Magic Dragon Studio and the "Father of the Magic Sword" in the industry, sighed: "The Magic Sword series has been with you for more than ten years, and it's time to say goodbye. ”

Their new work is also a Xianxia theme, but it is not a magic sword series.

The IP of Magic Sword will stay in seven generations, and there will be no sequel, replaced by a new game series called "Shushan".

"Shushan?"

Chen Ba listened to Xu Hong's introduction to the situation of "Shu Mountain", nodded and said: "Sounds good, your game should be a big seller!" ”

"Lend you good words."

Xu Hong smiled and said, "Why are you interested in the theme of Xianxia?" Could it be ...... Will Tianba Studio's new work be a Xianxia game? ”

"Probably yes!"

Seeing that Xu Hong's expression was a little solemn, Chen Ba hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "But don't think about it, this time we won't make a stand-alone machine, but an MMORPG multiplayer online game." ”

"Online games, ah......"

"Then you should check out the games of Reverse Water Cold, Heavenly Sword and Sword Three!"

Xu Hong explained: "We haven't done MMO in Magic Dragon Studio, and we don't have any suggestions for you, so you are in the wrong place. ”

"That's right, I've learned a lot of new things from you!"

For example, Edgeworth Flying!

This is actually quite an interesting system, and the magic dragon studio has specially designed a set of movements for the flight of Edgeworth, and the effect is smooth and neat, full of fairy tales.

This is one of Chen Ba's gains.

In addition, during the visit, he also learned about many unique settings of Xianxia games, as well as the corresponding manifestations.

For example, a "multi-currency" system!

In traditional RPG games, the currency system is generally relatively monotonous, and there is nothing new about what gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins are the same.

But in Xianxia games, the currency system alone is a science. Copper coins and silver taels are used as first-level currency, and spirit stones are used as second-level currency, and on top of this, third-level currency can also be added.

It is a rather complex system, more complex and more characteristic of Chinese culture than traditional gold, silver and copper coins.

In addition, there is another point that Xianxia games also deserves attention, and that is "naming"!

The magic dragon studio has a special naming tool, which can give the moves, exercises, characters, weapons and equipment, map scenes and other elements in the game an ancient charm and a fairy name.

Don't underestimate these names.

As soon as some names are marked, you will know that this is from a Xianxia game, and you can even guess a little bit of the role and efficacy, which is the benefit of the name.

For example, - the battle against the water!

Just listening to the name, players can probably guess that this is a magical power related to the "water element", and the effect should be to drive and control the water element?

See, this is a suitable name to bring a change to a Xianxia game!

Of course......

Xu Hong also said with a smile that instead of making things up in this regard, it is better to read a few more books, not only Xianxia online articles, but also myths and ghosts, folklore and the like.

I have read a lot of books, I have goods in my stomach, and I will not be stunned when I come up with a name or a screenwriter's love, let alone make jokes.

"Makes sense!"

Chen Ba agreed.

He just doesn't read enough books and has no goods in his stomach, so the game plot copywriting part of Tianba Studio is always unsatisfactory, which has caused countless players to complain.

If he had read more, would it still be like this?

As the saying goes, it's a guest from afar.

When the meal was approaching, Xu Hong enthusiastically ordered a table of good dishes to entertain Chen Ba and his party who came from afar.

At the dinner table, Xu Hong asked Tianba Studio if it would participate in this year's China Overseas Game Exhibition, and received a positive answer.

Exhibiting is definitely going to be exhibited.

It's all here, and it's really unreasonable not to go to the exhibition.

What's more, the news that Tianba Studio is about to develop a new game must also be disclosed to the public through this exhibition, otherwise where will the attention come from?

"Will it be announced to the public through the exhibition?"

Xu Hong took a sip of tea and said with a little curiosity: "So fast? I thought it would take a while for you to announce it! ”

"We've always ...... fast"

Xiao Lu bit the big crab and explained to Xu Hong: "Mr. Xu, have you forgotten the title of fast gunner in our Tianba Studio?" ”

"Hahaha, really!"

When Xu Hong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't say I forgot, your Tianba Studio is really fast, and you are a well-known fast gunner." ”

It's not just fast, it's almost time to ride a rocket!

When others were still holding back the game plan, and they didn't even do a good job of PPT, Tianba Studio set up a new game.

When others finally created a new folder and were full of ambition to prepare for official development, they looked back and saw that the new games of Tianba Studio had begun to be pre-ordered for early testing!

It's just not human......

If R Star has this development speed, let alone GTA6, I'm afraid it will be GTA100 by now.

After joking, Xu Hong inquired about the new game of Tianba through the help of toasting.

Chen Ba lowered his head and thought for a moment.

Anyway, it will be announced to the public in two days to participate in the China Overseas Game Exhibition, and it doesn't hurt to reveal it now, Lao Xu is still reliable.

So, he picked up a little bit of the general framework of the game and told Xu Hong to listen.

The new game is an MMORPG online game.

The theme of Xianxia, the main gameplay is to play a cultivator, adventure in the vast cultivation world, and finally become a true immortal in the world!

The game has multiple realms.

Qi training, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Shenhua, Integration, Returning to Void, Mahayana......

To put it bluntly, stitched!

Chen Ba is not ashamed, and said in public that his set of settings are all stitched content.

The bad news: the stitching monster!

Good news: it's all sewn in!

In essence, the game is still a set of MMORPG standard processes for upgrading and fighting monsters.

Upgrading is to improve the realm of cultivation, fighting monsters can't be called fighting monsters, that should be called eliminating demons. The next dungeon can't be called the next dungeon, but it's called exploring the secret realm of the cave!

PK is also available.

The blood of the cultivator is strong, the cultivation world is extremely cruel, isn't it commonplace to kill people and seize treasures?

So the game has a PK system.

It's just that in order to limit the fighting and PK behavior between players and protect relatively weak players, Chen Ba added a "merit" system.

The so-called merit is naturally the merit of the Heavenly Dao!

This thing is very common in those torrents, and the benefits are obvious, it can reduce the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation, increase the cultivation speed at the same time, and can also be used to refine magic weapons and so on.

In short, merit is rare......

Wanton killing will increase the evil energy, which will consume merit and obtain all kinds of ominous curses, such as being struck by lightning when walking, covered with red hair, and so on.

The game encourages everyone to do good deeds and be good people, don't kill people all day long, and clean up the bad things that are bullshit.

Unless you don't need merit and don't mind ominous curses......

But that's not possible.

In this game, merit is the most in-game currency! With enough merit, you'll be even happier than a Kryptonite player.

"Really?"

Xiao Lu didn't know where to touch a chicken leg, and said while gnawing: "It's cooler than a kryptonite player, isn't that merit too perverted?" ”

"Definitely!"

"How else is there such a thing as merit sanctification? You want to! If the merit is enough to even become a saint, what is the effect of this? ”

Chen Ba set merit as a third-level currency, naturally he had his plans.

Krypton players can play more happily in this game, but they still can't compare to the merit boss, after all, merit is something that krypton can't get.

In other words.

Krypton is a second-level currency such as spirit stones and fairy jade, which is only one level higher than copper and silver.

Merit is a third-level currency, and the status is still above the second-level currency, and merit does not support exchange, and krypton gold cannot be bought.

Boy, cultivation is not about fighting and killing, but about merit, do you understand?
