Chen Xu came out of the office.
At this time, Qin Yi, Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue were sitting in front of the computer in the rest area, playing "Monster Hunter: World" in a team.
"This battle monster has been strengthened in all aspects! I doubt that the players will be tortured until they become unconscious." Yang Xin sighed with emotion.
Compared with ordinary players, their archives are obviously much ahead of others. After all, they have been playing since the development and testing stage.
Of course, no relevant data is included, so it is considered independent.
"I don't know if the players will be unconscious, but you must be unconscious because of the abuse." Chen Xu, who was walking over, saw four big words "Falled down from exhaustion" on Yang Xin's screen as soon as he arrived, followed by Reminder of task failure.
As for this object, it is a lava dragon. It is not difficult to say this dragon's words, but it is neither simple nor easy. It is mainly annoying.
I always like to swim in lava, and combined with the hardening of the skin, it is simply a melee nemesis.
"Mr. Chen, don't talk nonsense, we've only had sex seven or eight times!" Yang Xin said.
"That's right!" Ruan Ningxue agreed.
"Okay, I have a meeting in the afternoon about the new game and the arrangements for the follow-up update and operation of "Monster Hunter: World."" Chen Xu interrupted a few people and said everything.
"New work!?" Yang Xin looked surprised.
"Mr. Chen, so fast!?" Qin Yi was also surprised.
"What is the theme and type of our new work?" Ruan Ningxue was more curious and concerned.
"You'll know later." Chen Xu didn't say it directly, but just smiled.
"Okay, take your time, I'll go get ready." After staying in the rest area for a while, Chen Xu sent a message to the work group and turned around to leave.
Afternoon, in the conference room.
A group of people are sitting here, and everyone has different expressions.
Obviously I didn't expect the new work to arrive so suddenly.
"First of all, there is a follow-up update arrangement for "Monster Hunter: World". The overall content has basically been improved. The follow-up content is to add some new monsters based on the main body. As for the DLC content such as new map scenes, there is no rush for the time being." Chen Xu looked at everyone and said.
"As for new monsters, we can maintain a rhythm of releasing one every 20 days to maintain the popularity of "Monster Hunter: World."
"But pay attention to the timing of development, because in the middle, I need to link "Monster Hunter: World" with the new game, including the transformation of character equipment and weapons, as well as new hunting missions."
As Chen Xu finished speaking, two huge monsters appeared on the projector.
A huge bone dragon with only its bones covered in ice and snow, a two-headed beast with a lion's head, a sheep's body and a snake's tail, and relevant background information behind it.
[In ancient times, dragons would fly to the cold Northrend continent in the north to wait for death when their lives were about to end. Over time, it became a graveyard for dragons. The bones of countless dragons were scattered on the continent until evil forces awakened them and resurrected them. These dragons exuding cold power also served their dark masters wholeheartedly.]
[The Chimera from Ashenvale is a mysterious beast that lives in harmony with the night elves. These terrifying two-headed monsters hover over the dark forest, using their deadly breath to deal with all enemies that invade the holy continent of Kalimdor. Many Enemies will immediately retreat at the mere sight of these dark, gigantic beasts.]
Anyway, they are all his own IPs, and Chen Xu doesn’t mind doing a linkage. After all, his popularity is not in vain.
It also includes the black dragon and the white dragon Hiss in "Dark Souls", and it is not impossible to add them to "Monster Hunter: World" in the future.
But everyone in the conference room looked amazed.
From these two monsters and related introductions, some clues can already be seen.
"Northrend, Night Elves... Is the new game a fantasy theme? Similar to "Dark Soul"?" Yang Xin, who is in charge of plot under Nebula Games, was speculating at this time.
"That's for sure! You can guess it from the shapes of these two monsters." Ruan Ningxue rolled her eyes and said.
"But Mr. Chen, we have just finished developing "Monster Hunter: World", will this player's blood pressure be raised too high!?" Qin Yi expressed concern.
Because in his opinion, this new game is probably as difficult and hardcore as "Dark Souls".
Hmm... Although to a certain extent, it is indeed very hardcore.
"Stop guessing." Chen Xu shook his head, and then pulled out the design concept draft of "Warcraft".
""Warcraft", RTS type?!" Qin Yi opened his eyes wide and looked confused.
Everyone in the other conference rooms also looked surprised.
I never expected that their new work would be an RTS-type game.
If we really want to talk about niche, RTS in the parallel world is really not that niche.
Including mainstream e-sports events, there are many RTS appearances, and the audiences and players are also very impressive.
But rts is not an easy type to do.
Basically, the RTS games that sell well every year and become popular on the market are basically produced by a few established game manufacturers. For example, "Human War" from the domestic channel alliance is a relatively popular RTS in the past two years.
In terms of content and gameplay, it is mainly divided into several different eras.
The Stone Age, the Feudal Age, then to modern times, then to the present day and the future.
Each period has different arms, which are divided according to cultural regions.
It's a bit like the 'civilized' RTS version of the previous life that omitted internal affairs.
With surprise, everyone carefully read the design concept draft in front of them.
"It feels so complicated and huge!" Yang Xin murmured.
"It seems to be quite different from the RTS currently on the market!" Qin Yi also nodded.
The entire game concept draft does not involve detailed game content, mainly because it is too huge. The current first draft of the design concept mainly introduces some related core systems and gameplay, and even includes the settings of the game editor. Chen Xudu Not mentioned yet.
But even so, several people still have a general understanding of the game.
"Mr. Chen, according to the design concept draft, the game seems to have a huge world view and plot!" Yang Xin was the first to speak out.
"Yes, the plot of the game is a very important part, and this will be a great series. The plot is different from the fragments of "Dark Souls", but we want to make it more detailed." Chen Xu smiled and said.
Chen Xu has very high confidence in "Warcraft".
You must know that in the previous life, in 2002, Ogilvy and Mather represented the domestic "Warcraft 3". Even in such an era when piracy was rampant, it also sold 1.6 million copies in the country. Although Ogilvy had too many tricks, such achievements It can be said to be incredible. Even 20 years later, such a sales volume cannot be said to be low.
Hearing Chen Xu's words, several people smacked their lips, leaving aside the greatness for now.
But looking at this posture, it is obvious that this RTS called "Warcraft" will not be a small production.
"Next, I'll tell you what your respective responsibilities are." Chen Xu looked at the crowd and said.
"Qin Yi is responsible for the level map and related values in the game. Of course, I will also participate in it to check it." Chen Xu looked at Qin Yi and said.
As an RTS game, the numerical framework of "Warcraft" can be said to be quite complex.
From the plot battles to the designers of the four racial arms, the relevant attribute values are very important.
And the effect of a simple value may be the emergence of a tactic.
In the previous life, after the remake of Warcraft 3 appeared, I did not mention the quality of Nara Crotch. I only talked about some numerical changes, so that this game with a history of nearly 20 years can still produce some new routines. Follow tactics.
Qin Yi alone would definitely not be able to complete this task, so Chen Xu would work with him on a subsequent numerical model.
Including the plot of the game, Chen Xu will also be responsible for a major content by himself.
"Ruan Ningxue will leave it to you to handle the art aspect, a style of game art, and the character aspect. As before, I will provide line drawings later, and we will discuss outsourcing the model at that time." Chen Xu turned his head. Said to Ruan Ningxue.
"In addition, unlike before, for "Warcraft" we need to produce a lot of CG animations to show the plot in the game." Chen Xu said.
This is actually very expensive. For example, in the previous version of "Warcraft", most of the plot was told through dialogue in the game and the modeling of the game itself.
As for CG cutscenes, only a few were produced.
For example, Alsace's filial son returned to take care of his old father, Medivh's Riddler-like warning, etc.
Chen Xu is also planning to enrich this area, and if we really talk about money, it is really trivial for the current Nebula game.
Especially as the Nebula gaming platform is on the right track, even though the commission is small, it can’t bear the heavy weight.
"As for Yang Xin's plot, we need to pay more attention to the system interaction and plot background." Chen Xu looked at Yang Xin and said.
For example, the original birth of "Warcraft" was actually because Blizzard couldn't get the copyright to the medieval Warhammer, and then its team patted its head and said, "The worst thing is, let's make it ourselves."
Therefore, there are some proper nouns in the game, which correspond to some nouns in medieval Warhammer.
In addition, there are many Easter egg jokes, such as the farmer's voice that makes players feel the most model. Many players remember the sentence 'yes, milord? 'Off i go, then! (It reads in the game: "Abba must have it", because it is so magical.
But there are a lot of Easter egg lines about the movie at the back, such as 'Are you a king? Well, I didn't vote for you', this is the meme from the 1975 classic comedy movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
Also the Acolytes of the Undead lines had references to Star Wars and Star Wars, which needed some changes.
