Game Entertainment Empire

In Xingyun Games' office, Yang Chen was leaning on his chair and looking at the screen on the monitor. He was a little concerned about a game that suddenly came to mind in his dream memory.

In fact, from a certain point of view, "Yu-Gi-Oh" currently under development and "StarCraft" in dream memory still have a common feature, that is, both games are PVP games, and they can also be called competitive games. game.

The PVP mode, the confrontation between people, will never fall behind and be replaced at any time. It can be seen from the activities of Cuju and arrow throwing in ancient times that competition or victory or defeat is a rooted In people's bones.

However, competitive games derived from games are definitely a huge market. At present, it can be said that Nebula Games does not have a real competitive game.

Although the multiplayer modes of "Survival Survival", "Red Alert" and "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" all have PVP gameplay, but more interesting elements are more than competitive elements.

From a certain point of view, "Yu-Gi-Oh" can be said to be an out-and-out competitive game.

…………

In the process of setting up the "Yu-Gi-Oh" project, including the development machine at Warwick, it has already been in place, and there are many places that need to be improved when the platform is converted to VR.

For example, the models of monsters in the game, according to Yang Chen's idea, all kinds of monster cards, magic cards and trap cards have their own unique modeling instead of a simple card.

And this requires a lot of art resources. It can be said that in the development of the game "Yu-Gi-Oh", the most important resources are concentrated in the art part.

It was the first time for the whole team to develop on VR, and there were still some problems in the use of various tools and communication with outsourcing.

In addition to solving these problems with the team, Yang Chen is also working on the model plan for the follow-up game.

Regarding the difficulty of the game of "Yu-Gi-Oh", Yang Chen didn't want it to be too complicated, such as various complicated chains, a card even needs to be chained several times in a row to complete a layout.

This is too brain-intensive, not to say it is bad, but in terms of early promotion, Yang Chen hopes that players will think that this is just an ordinary monster card battle game.

Simple monster effects, simple and clear monsters of 4 stars and below can be summoned directly, monsters of 4 stars to 6 stars need one offering, monsters of 6 stars to 8 stars need two offerings, and monsters of stars above 9 need three offerings. Taste.

At most, in conjunction with the buff of the magic card and the defense of the trap card, Yang Chen didn't want to let the players fall into brainstorming directly.

Too high a threshold for getting started will doom the game to only become a hardcore niche game, not a mass game.

Referring to the multiple game examples in the dream memory, Yang Chen was very clear.

Although the follow-up gameplay rules are more perfect, such as link and homology, the most simple and crude one is actually the original superior call. The rules of this mode in the dream memory are actually very confusing, especially in the animation. The so-called The rule of thumb is basically a mustache.

What Yang Chen needs is to refer to some of the follow-up rules of "Yu-Gi-Oh" itself, and work with the team to make it more perfect and formal.

Among them, Yang Chen also referred to many other game modes, such as a game called "Hearthstone", which is easy to learn but not easy to master. Of course, the two still have a common attribute.

That is, there is a profession called "God Sucking Dog".

And in Yang Chen's view, the gameplay of "Hearthstone" is actually quite similar to the gameplay of the early "Yu-Gi-Oh".

Similar to the game mode of "Hearthstone", Yang Chen also plans to use it as an entertainment mode in "Yu-Gi-Oh" at that time, and it's not too difficult.

The level of the card monster can be used as the energy needed to summon the monster, and the magic card and trap card can also be set with different importance levels and energy points.

…………

While Yang Chen was busy with the development of "Yu-Gi-Oh", on the other hand, the DLC of "Snake Eater" that Wang Yaliang was in charge of had already developed more than half of it.

Although it is a DLC, the modeling of various characters has been remade, including the original game painting and new map venues. It can be said that a new game has been developed.

Especially on the real-time calculation of the CG cutscenes, the clips in the entire game add up to a total of three hours, which can be said to be almost a large-scale movie.

In fact, Wang Yaliang also officially filmed according to the idea of ​​the movie.

"The color of this part can be brighter. In the end, THE BOSS died in the sea of ​​flowers, and all the white flowers slowly turned blood red. Adding the BGM, it will definitely become the most classic scene in the history of the game." Yang Chen told the audience in the office. Wang Yaliang squatted in front of the computer, looking at some of the shots that had been completed.

"I think the scene where BIG BOSS is saluting at THE BOSS at the end is the real classic, that is, from that moment, he transformed from the original snake to BIG BOSS." Wang Yaliang gave a different view.

Facing the rebuttal of the person in front of him, Yang Chen nodded sincerely, without arguing or making trouble.

As a person who loves his wife, there is no need to be fussy about this matter.

…………

In the outside game circle, all the players and people in the industry are a little confused about the sudden silence of the Xingyun game.

Why is there no sound all of a sudden?

After such a long time, why the Nebula game suddenly has no sound?

The new work, and the DLC of "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain", why is there nothing happening?

Although the previous Xingyun game was not released, there were still various news. You can get a glimpse of it from Yang Chen's official blog.

But what's going on now?

I haven't heard any news about new projects.

Although Yang Chen's official blog is still posted every day, it is all news of daily life, and it is the kind of news about dog abuse.

For example, what movie did you watch together today, what meal did you eat together, and where did you go for a walk together?

In short, you can see all kinds of news, but you can't see the news related to the game.

If you want to talk about secret development, that's fine, but behind the hidden ending, the new DLC plan "Snake Eater" was revealed.

And when all the players and people in the industry expressed their strangeness, the official blogs of Xingyun Games and Yang Chen suddenly released a big news.

The news that shocked all players.

The anime they made is coming soon!

? ? ? ? ? ?

All the players who saw the news showed shocked faces.

What the hell! What are you doing!

You are a game company! What anime are you doing!
