The Creator of the Second Dimension

Xu Rui finished the meeting and sorted out the materials just now.

This is a meeting about the follow-up arrangement of "Monster Hunter". Originally, Hatsune game had several options, which were selected according to the sales of "Monster Hunter" and the acceptance of the public.

It includes that if the game hits the street and people don't like this game mode, then Hatsune Games may consider cutting the follow-up update plan and focus more on maintaining the stability of the game server.

It also includes the general sales of the game, and some updates that will be released in the future.

Now it seems that Xu Rui naturally chose the option that consumes the most resources when the game is so popular.

That is to directly make an expansion piece.

The monster design that was temporarily shelved in the design stage due to construction schedules, technical reasons, etc. was added, and new maps, new game mechanisms, and weapon improvements were developed at the same time.

In the current "Monster Hunter", when you enter the volcanic terrain, you need to drink cold drinks to cool down. Then naturally, there will be an environment where you need to drink hot drinks, that is the ice field and snow mountain.

In addition, Xu Rui also proposed a map with randomness. Not only are there monsters, but even the terrain is completely random. When players enter the map, they may encounter a map that combines snow mountains and lava, or may face a green landscape. Forests, by some means can be adjusted within a certain range, but still have randomness.

And the monsters that appear in this random map will also be different, and there may be special individuals.

The main chapter of "Monster Hunter" has the setting of "experienced battles". Ecologically, it is an individual who has experienced many battles. The damage is extremely high, and some monsters have different actions.

In addition, the monster design for the expansion will be more in line with the ecology, especially the monsters in the snow-capped terrain, which should have a completely different ecology from other areas.

More importantly, the expansion will open higher difficulty for players to challenge.

Now, "Monster Hunter" has two levels of difficulty: primary and advanced. In the expansion pack, there will be a master level, and the corresponding monsters, equipment, and maps will be updated.

But this is not enough. On top of the challenges of the previous battles, Xu Rui also added a system called "Two Famous Monsters" as an extension of the previous battles.

The so-called two monsters refer to a kind that evolved from the original species. Due to natural selection and hunting by hunters, it has evolved abilities that are different from the original species. Its appearance is also different from the original species, and its moves have more Changes, even attributes are different.

For example, the two monsters in the expansion pack, Jin Mieblade Zhanlong, evolved from Zhanlong. Unlike the original version of Zhanlong and the subspecies of Acid Zhanlong, Jin Mieblade Zhanlong will have two attributes of flame and explosion.

Another example is the Demon Ceratosaurus, although at first glance it looks similar to an ordinary Ceratosaurus, but upon closer inspection, its left horn is divided into three parts, and part of its body is dark blue. Excited and congested, flushed, and after being completely berserk, the blood flow in the whole body will speed up, and the steam generated by the anger will be ejected from the body surface, causing a big explosion.

According to the plan, this expansion will have twelve second monsters, covering most of the monsters that appear in this chapter and the expansion. These second monsters will unlock new suits and possess powerful skills.

At the same time, if you successfully challenge the two monsters, you can also unlock the transformation rewards of the equipment, which can transform the appearance into the appearance of the equipment of the two monsters.

All the two monsters will appear in the randomly generated new map for players to challenge.

It can be said that this expansion is almost a redevelopment of "Monster Hunter".

Fortunately, in addition to the expansion pack, there will be some new monsters, linkages, etc. in the middle one after another.

For example, in July, "Monster Hunter" will update the patch of Tyrannosaurus rex. This monster is similar to the Destroyer in this article. It is a monster that will haunt all maps and is very fierce.

In August, there will be monsters linked by "Monster Hunter" and "Blood Source: Curse". The Bloodthirsty Beast will appear as a boss in the Valley of Miasma to fight against the Necromancer.

Afterwards, there will be Yanfeilong corresponding to Yanwanglong, Ganon and other monsters linked to "Breath of the Wild". A new monster will be released within at least two months, plus various activities, at least within a year. Here, the players of "Monster Hunter" will not have nothing to brush.

After confirming the production policy, the members of the production team who had just rested began to get busy again.

Xu Rui returned to his desk, turned on the computer, and started drawing storyboards.

After "White Box", the work of Fantastic Animation is "The Soul of Sword Demon" directed by Wu Yi. This is a half-yearly animation about exterminating demons and ghosts, and it is currently being serialized with good reviews.

But Xu Rui did not rest, and he planned to release another animation in January.

It is currently in the early stage of conception and storyboarding.

To be honest, Xu Rui is not worried about production.

Fantasia has plenty of money.

For example, "Soul of the Sword Demon", which is currently being broadcast, has more than five times the number of original paintings in each episode than other animations, and even surpasses many theatrical animations. With sufficient manpower, time, and the talented director's storyboard performance, In the end it is one word.

Cool.

Whether it's the hearty fighting, the exciting plot, or the extremely exquisite picture, it's hard to stop.

These are all made with money.

What's more, Wu Yi director didn't even have to think about whether the animation CD could be sold back.

First of all, these animations are solely owned by Phantom Animation, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses. The profits are all owned by Phantom. Secondly, the animations are exclusively broadcast on Hatsune Video Network. The traffic and membership fees are all hidden income. Finally, the entire IP It's all from Magic Electric, whether it's peripheral development, derivatives, linkage, or even the development of new games, they are all profitable.

Huandian has now formed a profit model centered on creating IP and co-developed by various business departments. It does not need to be timid like many Internet companies.

Therefore, what Xu Rui actually wanted was to wait until September, after "Country Teacher" was broadcast, to see the public's reaction to sci-fi films before making a final decision.

However, he is not the kind of person who can relax, so he still creates after work.

Xu Rui was seriously drawing on the digital board, and everyone around him was working, so naturally no one noticed him.

Lin Shuyi from the original painting group just came back from the painting meeting at this time. It was rare to see Xu Rui painting in his seat, so he moved over curiously.

Xu Rui is now drawing concept drafts, that is, some conceptualized scenes, pictures, characters, etc., which are the drafts that determine the impression of the work.

For example, in "Country Teacher", there will be images of desolate land, starry sky, destruction of stars, and sick teacher in bed.

Lin Shuyi gasped slightly when she saw the concept draft.

Because Xu Rui painted three suns.
