Chapter 307: Soul Figure

Ming Qin smiled: "May I ask Mu Gongzi, does the game need a soul?"

Everyone looked at each other, they played games just for leisure and entertainment, thinking that games were things that made people relax, and naturally they didn't have any soul.

But if you admit that the game doesn't need a soul, then there will be no soul on paper, and everyone is interested in playing a shallow and boring game, which is enough to expose their inner ignorance, and Ming Qin is exactly what he says, which no one wants to admit.

The so-called soul refers to the connotation of a game, and people like games at least in their childhood, and as their minds mature, they often play games that match their personal tastes.

"Of course. Mu Renfeng said: "Games need souls. Games with a soul can not only travel through thousands of years, but also become popular all over the world, transcending the boundaries of time and space, such as Keju and playing chess. It is precisely because of the soul injected and the sense of history that the game "On Paper" can move people's hearts and become popular. ”

"From what I've observed, this kind of play is just a few historical figures, but it has nothing to do with history. If the reluctant involvement of the characters is erased, it may be more reasonable to change the identities of the lord and the thief to patrol and thief. ”

Mingqin sighed: "It may be that this history is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and any game is mixed in to increase its own popularity." ”

The way everyone plays is that each person obtains an identity, there are lords, anti-thieves, loyal ministers, and traitors, and the lords and loyal ministers need to jointly eliminate the anti-thieves and traitors, and the anti-thieves need to eliminate the lord, loyalty, and guilt, and the traitors need to become the only survivors and contain each other. But the matching of identities and characters is completely free, so there will be a situation similar to Liu Bei as the lord, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan as loyal ministers, and jointly eliminate Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, while Zhuge Liang is a traitor. It can be said that it is completely out of touch with historical facts.

If a game can completely ignore historical facts, then why should it be set against the backdrop of historical figures?

This situation is an obvious flaw of 'talking on paper', and everyone is just accustomed to it. Mu Renfeng coughed lightly and said, "To tell you the truth, 'Talking on Paper' is an imitation of a game called 'Gunshot' by Tessie. The identity there is a patrol and a thief, and the designer may not have thought it through in order to add some sense of history. ”

Ming Qin laughed and said, "No wonder there is such an obvious sense of disobedience in the design. This is also the truth that only knows the imitation form, but does not understand that the game should be infused with soul. ”

Zhu Shisu snorted lightly: "Although the game needs a certain connotation. But after all, it's just entertainment. Where is there so much consideration, as long as the rules are reasonable, I think you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, there are more ways in this, don't think you are a little clever. Winning is a skill. ”

She gritted her teeth at Ming Qin's hatred, although she couldn't make trouble on the spot because of the Mu family, if she could have a setback in the card game, it would be very happy.

Ming Qin smiled indifferently, pointed to the character card in front of Zhu Shisu and said, "It's a fool to like to use this character." ”

"You ......"

Zhu Shisu's cheeks flushed, and he pointed at Ming Qin and trembled with anger. The character card draws a portrait, labeled Yuan Shu, with a few lines of skills written underneath. This is Zhu Shisu's favorite character, he was selected in eight out of ten games, and the winning rate is quite high.

Zhu Zifeng glanced at Ming Qin. revealed a ruthless meaning, "Boy, you speak so impertinently, there must be many people who have offended." Be careful when you walk too much at night, and eventually meet ghosts. ”

"I'm just talking about things. Ming Qin said lightly: "Yuan Shu is a famous fool in history and romance, and he has become a radiant character in the game. Other characters can only draw two cards a turn, while he can draw six cards, so what are the rules? What's the point of using such a character who tramples on the rules even if she wins, and some people are still happy to choose it, so you can imagine what others think of her. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes wandered. With a ghost in his heart, as long as a character like Yuan Shu is familiar with the game, he knows what the weight is, and of course he is very disgusted with the brainless choice, but no one has to break it because of his feelings.

Zhu Shisu just has a superior background and a domineering personality. It's not a stupid person, but at this time, he knew that most of the people had some thoughts as Ming Qin said, and he said with a stiff neck: "Am I willing to use you to manage it?"

Ming Qin smiled and said with emotion: "This is also the soulless place I said about the game, look at the characters you chose, step trainer, Cao Chong, Queen Fu, and full favor." If you are not familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms, who knows that you are playing a game with the background of the Three Kingdoms. The designer caters too much to the preferences of Qiyao Mansion, and the design of the Wei State is impressive, while the Shu Han is lackluster, and historical generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are not as good as some unknown minions. Sooner or later, such ignorance will end up in a state of destituteness. ”

"You have some point. It's just that the first contact only knows one thing after all, but I don't know the other. ”

Mu Renfeng explained: "In fact, the designers have remedied these two problems, one is to design a more historical gameplay, that is, the confrontation of forces. Second, some enhancements have been made to such famous generals as Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun. It's just that everyone is just getting started, and I haven't added more complicated parts. ”

As he spoke, he took out a box of cards from the side, including a new skill breakthrough to play French Wars and Famous Generals.

Ming Qin picked out Guan and Zhang Wuhu's new cards and looked at them, and said with a smile: "This is not the way I said to inject souls, but it means that I am terminally ill." Guan Yu and Ma Chao's skills are of course lackluster, but now they want to seal other people's skills to increase their own strength, just like a toothache on the left side that swells the right face, which is very ridiculous and funny. Skills need to show their own characteristics, not destroy the skills of others. If that's true, why bother with designing any skills?"

"The soul of Zhongxia lies in culture, and the soul of culture lies in the characters. Since the game is based on history, it needs to have a definite understanding of historical figures. In this way, you can design a soul character that you like to see and make players love it. ”

Mu Renfeng was silent, he was a character who was proficient in eating, drinking, playing, and having fun, and he was talented and quite able to draw inferences. This time, Yanbo Pavilion held a discussion conference, and invited him to participate in the design of the rules of the competition system. Most of the men in Zhongxia have some feelings for the history of the Three Kingdoms, and Mu Renfeng is no exception, because he is quite fond of the game "Talking on Paper", and he is also familiar with the unsatisfactory places.

But a person like Ming Qin who decided at a glance that he lacked a soul was never expected. If the game has no soul, it means that it is difficult to penetrate into people's hearts, which is of course a very deadly thing.

Life in the fairy world is relatively superior, and there is a lot of leisure time after tea and dinner, so games have become a common form of entertainment. It's a pity that most of the game companies in Da Mo are short-sighted, only focusing on immediate interests, and not thinking much about long-term development.

Mu Renfeng asked with interest: "Then in your opinion, who should be the soul of the game?"

Ming Qin said: "When it comes to the Three Kingdoms era and even the entire history of Zhongxia, Zhuge Gong is certainly worthy of being the soul figure. ”

"You've watched too much of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Zhu Shisu said disdainfully: "Everyone in the world knows that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" respects Liu and belittles Cao, and Luo Guanzhong 'shows that Liu Bei is thick and pseudo, and Zhuge is wise and close to a demon'. For the promotion of Shu, we really spare no effort. ”

"Yes. Zhu Zifeng said hesitantly: "Our Emperor Wei Wu is eloquent, sweeping the heroes, and can think of the virtuous as thirsty, but only moves." Zhuge Liang is a small country and a weak people, and he still has a monopoly on power, a poor army, and six out of Qishan, without any credit at all. Instead, he lost the street pavilion and cut the horse. Most of the people who admired him were poor and sour literati, who were ambitious and talented, and they just talked about self-comfort. ”

Ming Qin laughed loudly, his demeanor was calm, and he said contemptuously: "These hearsay remarks, I'm afraid that I haven't even read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and I'm embarrassed to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Zhu Cao. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is based on Pinghua, and Pinghua is the storyteller's script, which is spread by everyone and easy to understand. Jiang Ziya, Zhang Zifang, Zhuge Gong, and Liu Bowen are all superbly elegant figures in history. Can it still add its glow to the four sons?"

"At the end of history, there was chaos and people's hearts were scattered. Some people want to change the world and start over. Some people make waves and seek success. It's all more destruction than construction, and there's nothing to be praised. Only a few people can be compassionate and compassionate, want to turn the tide in the fall, help the building in the future, do their best, no regrets and no complaints. How can this man's strength not transcend his time and be admired by all mankind?"

According to legend, Sun Quan sent someone to lobby Zhuge Liang, and Liang said that Sun could use Liang, but not all bright. The so-called use of Liang is, of course, to worship the prime minister, honor the position and wealth, Zhuge Liang takes it like a mustard, and is naturally unmoved. The so-called full brightness is to realize his own political ideals, and his political ideal is the royal road and benevolent government. ”

Although Cao Cao and Sun Quan took advantage of the situation and fought each other, they were both people without political ideals. Sun Quan needless to say, the-stirring stick in the Three Kingdoms, just thinking about rowing the river to protect himself, during the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su persuaded him that if he surrendered like me, he would still be an official, and the lord would surrender The evening was bleak, Sun Quan made up his mind, broke the table and Mingzhi, 'swear not to stand with the old thief'. Although this cannot be blamed on him, it is obvious that there are no political ideals. ”

Cao Cao said in "Ziming Benzhi Ling" that when he first started, he just wanted to pacify the heroes and be an Anhan general, but later his power grew and his ambitions slowly swelled. There are no political ideals in sight. (To be continued.) )
