Coming out of the office, Chen Xu came to the rest area.
Many people are playing "Dark Souls" in death mode.
But judging from their respective screens, it was obvious that each of them died miserably.
"Are they both beaten? But neither of you were killed in the first stage!" Chen Xu came to Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin and opened a can of Coke and said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, this is too difficult! Why don't you come and demonstrate it for us?" Ruan Ningxue handed over the handle and gestured.
"You can play, but it's not necessary. There is a ranking function. If I, a designer, play, will the players question the behind-the-scenes operations? In order to maintain my good reputation, I can't do this kind of thing." Chen Xuyi said righteously shirk.
"Mr. Chen, you are overthinking. Your reputation among players can make children cry at night!" Yang Xin complained.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, will our next game apply the latest AI technology?" Yang Xin then asked.
"There is a high probability not. Judging from the performance of 'Death Mode', it is still far from what was expected. The reason why players find it difficult is actually mainly due to the battle rhythm and related data. The boss is indeed better than The original version is stronger, but the content that makes the boss stronger due to pure AI is really limited, and it needs to continue to be developed and optimized for a period of time before it can be truly applied to the game." Chen Xu said, shaking his head slightly.
Chatted for a while with Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin, as well as Qin Yi, Lin Tao and others who came over after hearing the sound.
Chen Xu returned to the office, leaning on the chair and holding a ballpoint pen in his hand, spinning it slowly.
He's not working on a new game right now.
Because there are still two aspects of work.
On the one hand, it is the subsequent DLC content of "Dark Souls".
Chen Xu directly integrated the original DLC content in "Dark Souls: Age of Fire" into the main body.
The previous game was the original Souls 3. Considering the plot and pace of the game, there were related difficulties.
Therefore, Ring Seal City and Painting World are not directly brought to players.
Now, it can be used in subsequent updates to complete all the content of "Dark Soul".
As for the previous life, many players questioned the setting of eating books in Ring Seal City.
But in fact, whether it is Soul 1 or Soul 3, which is the final game, the entire story of Chuanhuo is ambiguous.
There is no clear indication of the conspiracy, or Gwen's selflessness, or what the so-called Abyss and Dark Soul are.
Moreover, Soul of the Past Life 1 itself is also an IP that has been around for ten years. There was nothing explicitly mentioned in the game at the beginning. However, after various discussions by soul scientists and more and more players taking sides, it has gradually become a What players think is the 'truth'.
But to put it bluntly, it is actually just speculation from players and does not come from official confirmation.
There is no need to rush the development of these two DLCs. Just take your time and give them to players half for sale and half for free.
It's just to complete the overall world view of Dark Souls.
As for the plot, players can guess it themselves just like now.
On the other hand, it is about the AI technology of Galaxy Intelligent Technology.
The current death mode uses the latest AI technology, although it tortures players all over the world.
However, in terms of actual performance, it was still far from what Chen Xu expected.
And it is quite different from what Chen Xu saw before. Obviously there is a difference between a simple demonstration and actual application in the game.
The AI still needs continuous optimization and development, but considering the golden props drawn last year, the reading time has not been completely shortened. Chen Xu estimates that it is still in an incubation state.
But no matter what, at least the current performance of AI in games is definitely not enough to become a core selling point.
Leaning on the chair, Chen Xu closed his eyes and thought.
The rest is the arrangement of the new work.
Looking back on the past two years, the masterpieces brought include the two parts of "Dark Soul". As for "Two People", it can barely be counted on the Nebula gaming platform alone.
Coupled with various promotional activities in the middle, as well as the previous accumulation of "Three Kingdoms" and "Jelly Bean Man", the current number of users of the Nebula gaming platform is definitely not low.
As for the amount of activity, it is still supported by the two games "Three Kingdoms" and "Jelly Bean Man".
It can't compare with large platforms, but as an independent platform, it is already considered to be at the cutting-edge level.
And the two "Dark Souls" can be regarded as the reputation of Nebula Games.
Therefore, Chen Xu is not going to focus on big games until the end of the year.
On the one hand, there is not enough time, and on the other hand, because "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" has just been released, there is really no need to seamlessly connect one masterpiece.
At the same time, Chen Xu already has a set direction in mind for the subsequent development of games.
That is the players and users who tend to maintain the Nebula gaming platform.
Starting from scratch, the foundation of Nebula Games is now solid enough.
Next, it’s time to build the foundation a little bit and then test it out.
As for the game type, Chen Xu already has an idea in mind.
… … …
On Monday, inside the conference room of Nebula Games.
"Next, let me briefly tell you about the next direction. First, Lin Tao will set up a team to develop the subsequent "Dark Souls" DLC content. I will provide the corresponding design concept draft at that time, and the development time will be relatively short. Don’t rush it if it’s sufficient, but if it doesn’t work out, we can wait until next year’s National Day launch, after all, it will be the third anniversary of Black Soul.” Chen Xu said with a joke.
"Then our next actions will mainly focus on the Nebula gaming platform and make some small-scale games." Chen Xu said.
"Small production?" After hearing Chen Xu's words, Qin Yi and others were a little confused, and also a little disappointed.
"Don't underestimate small-production games. Large-scale games certainly have advantages, but small-production games also have the characteristics of small-production games."
"Don't forget "Jelly Bean Man". How many so-called masterpieces can compare to it in terms of sales?" Chen Xu said with a smile while looking at everyone.
After listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone's expressions became serious.
At the same time, some people who were thinking further understood what Chen Xu meant.
Obviously the next games are mainly to promote the development of the Nebula gaming platform.
They also understand one thing very well, and that is what it means if the Nebula Game Store can be launched.
"Okay, let's take a look at the new work to be developed next." Chen Xu smiled and then connected to his laptop.
A design concept draft document appeared on the big screen in the conference room.
The title of the game is written on it: "Don't Starve".
