Otherworldly Architect (The Strongest Game Architect)

v3 Chapter 116: Planning a meeting

After Mingyan discussed the matter with the head of the marketing department, he logically called the designers.

Then he saw that the eyes of the people who came were glowing with green light, almost drooling from the corners of their mouths, or tails growing out of their backs and wagging them.

"Boss!!!! Is the new game going to cooperate with the first beauty in the e-sports circle?"

It seems that there are many fans of the Great Demon King in the Blue Star studio.

Thinking about it too, the people who work here are all people who have a great love for the game. They will not miss the live broadcast of the League A national game every year, and it is a matter of course that they will become champion fans.

Ming Yan shook the manuscript in his hand amusingly and said, "Go in and talk."

At this planning meeting, Ming Yan mainly mentioned two key points of the new game.

The first is the "assassination-based" fighting method.

"In the past, we have worked hard to innovate the combat system many times, including the Black Soul mode, including the supernatural explosion mode in Blue Star Doomsday, and the team hatred mode in Xia Xing Xing... But this time, it must have when it's innovative."

"The way an assassin fights is of course different from Russell and swordsmen. What he pursues is not tossing and turning in the battle, not to deal with the enemy and find a gap between attacks... What he pursues should be one-shot kill, The thrill of being a thousand miles away."

"Please watch a simple concept demonstration animation."

Next, Mingyan put a "simple" animation.

The reason why it is called "simple" is entirely because the modeling of the characters inside is quite rough. It can be said that the material of the public face is bought online, and then a layman casually poses the shape in the simplest production software.

But because of this, the moment the picture appeared, everyone present subconsciously straightened up and focused on it—

Because it is obvious that such an ugly handcraft must be made by the boss himself!

Well, at most, with Xia Cheng's assistance, it can't be more!

In this small animation, it mainly talks about an assassination of the protagonist assassin.

In the background, on a classical map, the surrounding houses look like, and there is a church standing in the square.

A high-ranking bishop at this time, surrounded by the crowd, slowly approached the church - it seems that he is the target of the assassination.

Then the camera zoomed in on the protagonist assassin, and I saw that he was shrouded under the hood, and his face could not be seen clearly (although that face was not pinched at all).

The protagonist assassin waved and threw a handful of coins, which immediately caused the civilian NPCs in the square to loot.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the scene, the protagonist assassin quickly climbed up the beams, ran wildly on various roof ridges, and approached his assassination target all the way.

When it was close, the camera suddenly caught the eyes of the protagonist assassin.

Then, the protagonist's field of vision turned golden - only his target was bright red, very dazzling! It seems that this is the special skill of the assassin.

Then the protagonist's movements became more careful, and silently approached directly above the target.

Close-up shot: The protagonist leans down, and the sharp cold light of the Hidden Blade protrudes from the wrist guard.

The next scene is like a rabbit, a falcon, and a lightning bolt.

Just as the bishop raised his head, the assassin fell like an eagle, his hidden sword hitting his chest.

Then the bishop fell in response, and the assassin used his fallen body to offset the impact of the fall, rolled forward sensitively, and then threw a smoke bomb surrounded by the surrounding army.

After the smoke filled the air, the assassin dashed back to the square.

Of course, the guards were unwilling to let them go, and they chased the assassin all the way.

During this period, the villains on both sides were panning - Ming Yan coughed: "This is expected to be parkour-related content, everyone will feel it."

Everyone made a look of sudden realization!

Well, so both sides of the chase and escape started a tense and intense parkour behavior.

Until finally, the assassin found an opportunity to infiltrate the surrounding crowd and escaped the pursuit.

Judging from the rough special effect, this may also be one of the assassin's skills: hiding in the normal crowd nearby, and it will not be noticed.

After the short video of this concept demonstration, the smart designers present basically understood the meaning of Ming Yan.

"The battle mode of the new game is actually mainly divided into three stages: the sneak stage, the assassination execution stage and the evasion and pursuit stage."

Ming Yan continued to add.

"Of course, in the case of BOSS and assassination failures, we still need a frontal combat system. Everyone should be very experienced in this..."

Speaking of this, someone in the audience asked, "Is it based on the difficulty of the soul? Or is it based on the way of the knight's line?"

Mingyan laughed and said, "You can't make assassins as hard as undead. Assassins should be thin-skinned and crispy. So the frontal combat can be simplified as much as possible. We do not recommend assassins to do this, but recommend Players get out of the fight directly, and next time they find an opportunity to assassinate."

Then, someone else asked: "Does our assassin know martial arts? Does he use light skills when running?"

Ming Yan couldn't help laughing again.

Since the launch of "Xia Ke Xing", this group of interstellar people have never forgotten their martial arts and internal strength.

Ming Yan said: "The setting of the new work should be in a relatively low-magic era. It follows the rules of physics as much as possible. Except for the two golden fingers we gave the protagonist, there are basically no special abilities."

"Oh..." Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

——It seems that Chief Master Ming is still preparing to do a completely different theme, and the "martial arts" theme that has just been favored has been thrown aside again. What a man who likes to challenge new subjects...

——According to the character of the boss, who can't be number two, I really don't know when "Martial Arts" will be able to regain favor?

Ming Yan coughed and regained everyone's attention.

Next, he wants to talk about the second point of the new game: the integration with the historical aspect.

"This time we don't do an era of overhead. Assassin parkour is an important part of our game experience. I hope players can experience something more immersive in the process of parkour."

"Everyone in the Sixth Star Province should be very familiar with some buildings of great historical significance, such as the federal government parliament building, such as the Red Crystal battlefield ruins, and even the Tianxin Cathedral left by the visit of the Suzaku Empire."

"Imagine if we allowed the player to go through the gates and the promenade, climb up the back door of the cathedral, step on the statue of the Virgin, the shrine of the Holy Spirit or the lamp of the contemporary Pope, balance on the parapet, and then on the dome Slipped a bit, locked it to the top cross with the hook, crouched on it and overlooked the entire Tianxin Square, where the two kings were executed—"

After he finished speaking, everyone present showed a fascinated expression.

Someone was so excited that they wanted to shake their legs and whispered, "Oh, I can't wait to recreate this cathedral!"

"I'm going to pee when I stand on it!"

"I understand why the assassins are not allowed to use light work! That way, the sense of immersive history is missing!"

Ming Yan nodded and said: "The combination of virtual and reality, history and present is an important experience process for players. In the process of parkour, players can play and operate while watching and associating. This is our final goal."

When Mingyan put away the manuscript.

A designer raised his hand and asked a very important question: "Boss, does the new project have a name?"

Mingyan pondered for a while, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. It may depend on whether Odin is willing to cooperate with us. For now, let's codename it 'Assassin' first."

As soon as the words were finished, the crowd stirred.

The designers finally recovered from the shocking emotions just now, and said, "It's good to work with Odin!"

"The combination of two golden signs is the guarantee of sales."

"Would it be a waste to let Odin be the protagonist?"

The last question was raised, and everyone has read it.

The designer who asked the question was a senior plot planner in Bluestar Studio. He said: "If the image of Odin is used as the protagonist, in many cases, players will not be able to watch this model, because VR games Basically, the camera is fixed on the shoulder of the protagonist. Besides, if the player can appreciate it too easily, it will lose the sense of mystery.”

Another plot planner thought about it, and quickly added: "Odin is actually more suitable to be a guide NPC, or the image of an expert outside the world, and let the player pursue it by himself."

Ming Yan pondered for a while, and said, "What you said makes sense. However, the cooperation has not yet been negotiated, so let's put the discussion on this aspect first. After Odin's side is determined, you will give a suitable one. The plot plan is coming."

The first planning meeting quickly disbanded.

The new project will be archived and developed on the same day - it is foreseeable that the designers of Bluestar will enter a new game cycle again, and future meetings will definitely be indispensable.

On the Blue Star official website, there is no news of new projects being announced for the time being.

First, the cooperation with Odin has not yet been negotiated. The two parties are in two star provinces. It will take a few days for optical communication to reach there. It is not appropriate to let players have any expectations too early;

Second, the popularity of "Xia Ke Xing" is very high, and other game makers dare not make any publicity at this time - of course, it is impossible for Blue Star to release the news of the new game by itself, and come to fight with itself.

So for the next two days, in addition to waiting for news from Odin, Ming Yan mainly focused on the situation on the "Xia Ke Xing" side.

Because after Daqinggong and gourmet food, another thing in this game suddenly exploded!

Moreover, it is the kind of fire that is about to spread across the entire interstellar space.

——Yao Shou La, a player from Tangmen in Sichuan, who stole giant pandas for the people of the Stars!

Big! Bear! cat!
