Chapter 65
It is impossible to back down. Now that you can't seize the opportunity, you must surpass him in quality.
Adapting the theme of fantasy into a game is very advantageous, but it is still inferior to the world with a sci-fi background in the open world. After all, civilizations whose productivity stays in the farming era are doomed not to be able to go further on the technology tree.
Translated into adult language, it means that although there are ready-made examples from the earth that can be copied, if Yang Lin wants to develop in the later stage, he will definitely not be able to get rid of the shackles on his body.
Throughout the ages, all games that sell sandboxes, meat pigeons, and open worlds can't escape the ending of being boring, boring, and eventually abandoning the game.
If there are exceptions, Minecraft, Don't Starve, Terraria maybe. Combining their characteristics, the core mechanism of the game is simple, and there are many development paths for players to choose from. No matter how you choose, there will always be the most suitable gameplay for you.
Most importantly, it has no mandatory requirements for values.
Its degree of freedom is not limited to "liver" or "krypton", but you can personalize each choice.
Taking famine as an example, most players choose to hunt giant deer in winter and make eyeball umbrellas to prepare for the coming spring. But you can also run around giant deer, shoot spiders, and live on monster meat and ice-rubbed meatballs all winter. If you really can't beat it and are greedy for eyeballs, you can also bring trouble to the east and let other monsters help you fight the BOSS.
None of these will affect your experience of the complete game.
Ordinary games under the banner of an open world are different. You can be a casual player, actively avoid wars, and develop your own small business. But after all, the main gameplay of the game is PVE and PVP, so there are few choices for casual players, and relatively little fun is obtained.
This is the "shackle" mentioned just now.
Mo Li listened carefully to Yang Lin's requirements for the cooperative manufacturers, as well as his vision for the game itself, and shook her head involuntarily. It is impossible for Yang Lin not to know what he is doing, but she still let this loophole continue to go her own way, and walked on the path she imagined.
"I thought he was ready to promote the concept of the open world. It turned out that he didn't think about the follow-up development at all. Could it be that he ran away after making money?" She asked a little puzzled.
"Isn't this just right?" Zhu Shi was not as complete as she thought, and was a little naive in this regard.
"Since its quality is not good, then we will announce the open world when the popularity is not over. Although our demo also has many things that need to be corrected, it can be regarded as a crushing situation than this level."
Mo Li hesitated . He nodded, pressed his temples again, and put all those thoughts behind him. Now is not the time to think about these things, you should hurry up and fill in the holes.
The current situation is very good for Black Cat Studio, the main story is over, and the major platforms are still promoting it like a raging fire. After the traffic dropped a little, the special chapter was just finished. With the help of the special chapter, they were able to put the open world that was almost the same as the test.
At that time, if the game with Yang Lin hits the schedule, it will be embarrassing for whoever is difficult to play.
three days later.
Just when the audience of Black Cat watched eagerly that the animation next door had been gamified, and the producer didn't know how long he would take a break by ending it. Black Cat's Starblog was suddenly and unexpectedly updated.
Black Cat Studio V: [I have good news and better news, which one do you want to hear? ]
Audience: Is there another choice?
Some viewers with a sense of creation have already sensed what news the black cat is going to announce, and they have sprinkled flowers underneath, but more people are still not sure, and insist on letting the black cat say what "good news" is.
Mo Li was not one to tell the truth, and soon posted a second blog.
Black Cat Studio V: [The special chapter has been drawn, and the star stream will be uploaded on time at 9:00 tonight. ]
Audience:! ! !
They all looked up at the time of the virtual light screen, and it was only three days before the end. Did the black cat draw so fast?
[Damn it, this woman has been surprisingly diligent recently, did the next door give her a sense of crisis? ]
[If this allows her to change every day, then I would rather have more studios next door in the world. ]
[Speaking of which, isn't the fantasy next door also playing games, and it's still an open world. It will go online tomorrow, when is Black Cat going to go online? 】
It's okay not to mention it, but when the topic is mentioned, it starts to go wrong. Everyone has seen the game. If it wasn't for the pirated version by T company, Black Cat would still have planned to hide the current game test results.
However, the black cat has to thank T company. If it weren't for her, maybe when Black Cat releases its gamification statement now, the comment section will say that following the trend is a fantasy.
Oh no, the momentum is already there.
The audience didn't worry for too long, within a few minutes, Black Cat Studio joined hands with Xingliu Technology to post today's second Xingbo.
Black Cat Studio V: [@星能科技, go to it for details, anyway, the demo will be released at the end of June. Of course, if a blogger is willing to evaluate our game, he can apply with his personal account, and we will issue an activation code according to the actual situation. ]
Audience:! ! ! ! !
They just want to ask, is it still too late to change careers and become a UP master?
That picture, that gameplay, just made them salivate three times because of the empty live broadcast trial last time, not to mention the opportunity to encounter it in advance this time.
Never let it go!
After the news spread, ordinary passers-by didn't feel much. I just feel that the entertainment of my Star Alliance is getting better and better, and even open world games are willing to be produced. Only the animator and gamer tensed their nerves, as if they had received some crucial Morse code, and began to interpret them bit by bit.
First of all, the gamers, who regretted their recklessness. The open world is such a good game format, except for spending money, it is actually taken by two little ghosts engaged in animation. Moreover, they are all adaptations of the original works, which can be regarded as enough hatred on the side of the gamers who are hard at work on the script.
The second is the weather-beaten colleagues in the animation industry. They thought that Yang Lin this time would be the same as before. Either it was not the defeat of the black cat, or it was like Ye Chu who found another way to explore other markets. Unexpectedly, after half a month of stalemate, the two parties actually formed a faint tendency to fight against each other.
How could someone survive under Black Cat for half a month?
The peers became curious, and Yang Lin's works opened the door to the fantasy world. This thing is more than magic, and the story of the cool text is inherently superior. When the hero holds a high-energy particle cannon and kills Jin Danqi Da Neng three times in a row, everyone is very addicted.
Furthermore, conquering the wild with science is the way of hospitality and survival philosophy of every intelligent civilization. Yang Lin, who coincided with this concept, quickly became the new favorite of the nerds, and he did not lose to the black cat at all in terms of secondary creation and payment rate.
Moreover, if it is adapted into a game, it will be more attractive.
There are not many games that use war as a selling point in Interstellar, but most of them are watching scenery and boring land reclamation. A few people or dozens of people drive mechas through the galaxies formed in the virtual space, explore planets with different looks and shapes, and then collect the special products of each planet.
Most of the planets here are lifeless, not to mention intelligent civilization, there is not even a twisted paramecium that looks like a slipper. Players soon got tired of it, saying that it is an open world, and it is not as rich in content as a small-sized RPG.
However, this game called "Mysterious Continent" completely showed them the connotation of the open world. Here you can join more than a dozen sects with different standpoints, you can choose sword cultivator, dan cultivator, Buddhist cultivator, or you can choose heresy to satisfy your own evil taste, and you can even join the villain camp called "Demon Cult" on the spot.
In addition, the gameplay outside of combat is also ever-changing. What about refining tools, refining medicine, dominating the academy, and snatching different fires. You can also open new maps when you are bored, play PVE, and participate in auctions (a tribute to Fights Break Sphere) to achieve the maximum degree of freedom at the minimum cost.
Yang Lin is very smart, knowing that the core technology of the open world is currently in the hands of Xingneng Technology, and Xingneng Technology and Black Cat Studio have reached a stable cooperative relationship. He, a little commoner with no money and power, would definitely not be able to compete with the black cat that already had primitive accumulation, so he simply developed all the functional branches, and developed according to the high degree of freedom of the pseudo-openness of MMO.
Sure enough, as soon as the test server was launched, thousands of UP owners began to introduce tap water. Smoothly as if it were the result of some standard time-traveling novels, the interstellar people were severely conquered by the mature entertainment of the earth, and spent sleepless nights on this "open world" game. I don't eat, I don't sleep, I am urged to move forward by the numerical value.
The manufacturer that cooperated with Yang Lin, that is, Starbridge Technology, which is also developing the combination of virtual space and games, is happy to hear this. For so many years, they have been severely suppressed by Xingneng Technology, and now they have finally raised their eyebrows once, and they must take care of the bad breath that has come from many years.
Unexpectedly, facing their ascendancy. Black Cat and Xingneng Technology seemed to be okay, and Xingbo politely blessed him as a colleague without any sense of crisis. What's even more annoying is that Black Cat even experienced his game first-hand, and evaluated all his loopholes in a gentle and non-stinging tone.
Black Cat Studio V: [The game is well done. Regardless of the commercial standpoint, I still like Yang's idea very much. However, there is still a lack of gameplay. In order to reduce computing power, the game does not design too many scene interactions. For example, as a swordsman, I can't do the basic operation of stabbing the sword into the cliff to maintain balance. Although this kind of detail is harmless, it is still worthy of the definition of "open world". Hope the game will get better and better. ]
If this was said by an ordinary player, Yang Lin might not be so angry. It was Black Cat who said this in anger, even if what she said was high-sounding, she didn't take a personal standpoint, she still liked him very much, the actual evaluation was full of a kind of "you deserve to be called open" The world? How about we open the world.” contempt.
This qi circulated in his viscera several times, but in the end he couldn't get it out, and he edited the text involuntarily.
Yang Lin V: [My understanding of the open world is naturally not as deep as that of my predecessors, but as a student who graduated from game design at the Star Alliance University, I think I should have more experience than Senior Black Cat in realizing these lofty concepts? 】
Mo Li glanced at it and knew it without looking. The brat said it nicely, but he must have held grudges in his heart again. He was stabbing himself here. But who wouldn't say harsh words, why don't people tell people if they do badly?
Black Cat Studio V: [That's not necessarily :)]
