The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 228 226.The Soul of the Assassin

  After the meeting, Cao Yang left Li Lanyun behind.

   "What's wrong with the boss?" Li Lanyun asked, sitting in front of him.

  Generally, this is the time when Boss Cao wants to give a face-to-face instruction.

  The last time when two people like this sat face to face to discuss a problem, it was the "Shan Hai Jing"

  At that time, the two people had a long talk for a long time, and they actually tossed out such an awesome thing.

  So this time Li Lanyun is also full of expectations for Cao Yang.

  I don’t know if Boss Cao has any new ideas.

"Didn't you talk about enrollment before?" Cao Yang lowered his head and thought, "We now have a relatively large game team. What I think is that in addition to "Shan Hai Jing", another team of the same level should be established. ."

"Um?"

At the previous meeting, Cao Yang had mentioned this idea, so he was planning to double the entire game department. In addition to the production team of Shan Hai Jing continuing to develop the follow-up of Shan Hai Jing, there must be another large scale counterpart. The project.

  So Li Lanyun is already mentally prepared, "What kind of game then?"

  Under normal circumstances, if Boss Cao is willing to call him over, it means that he has already figured out what to do, and Li Lanyun is very clear about Boss Cao's temperament.

   Boss Cao is strong enough and creative. Compared with him, other people can only be reduced to execution.

  However, Li Lanyun has worked with him for so long, knowing that it is not a good job to perform this job. The boss provides an idea, and the time and cost are very high.

  Take Shanhaijing as an example, a team of 400 people worked for more than a year.

  The first idea was Cao Yang had already thought about it before the project was established.

  It took so much time on this, you can imagine how difficult it is.

  But this time, Li Lanyun is still more confident. After all, he has led a large project with a team of 400 people. Now the X2 engine is obviously a higher grade than the X1, and it should be developed with half the effort.

  The key is to see what boss Cao’s needs are in the end.

  ...

   Cao Yang also considered the new game for a long time.

  The direction must be extended towards the 3A masterpiece. Originally, he had no bottom in his heart, but seeing the company's "Shan Hai Jing" so successful, it also gave Cao Yang a lot of confidence.

  This shows that the 3A road is feasible.

  It is obviously very promising to learn from future 3A games and then transform them into something that Chinese people can accept and accept.

  This time Cao Yang thought for a long time, and finally found a good development route.

  With the development of hardware technology, some masterpieces that were originally out of reach, now Bomi has crossed this threshold, and Cao Yang feels confident to do it.

  For example: Assassin’s Creed.

  Assassin's Creed is an action game released by Ubisoft in 2007.

  The story is set during the dark crusade period in the Middle Ages in Europe. The game stage shuttles between Damascus, Jerusalem and other historical cities in the Middle East. The rulers at that time ruled the people with high pressure and killed dissidents, and the people were miserable.

The player plays the role of a white-clothed assassin Altaïr with a great skill. He has gone without a trace of his superb killing skills. He specializes in assassinating the brutal ruling class. The eradication of evil has also become the "Assassin's Creed" that the player abides by. Work hard to save innocent people.

  There are several reasons why the game is so popular:

  First, push the grid high.

Forced Gigao is reflected in several aspects. First, because the designer is more powerful, the protagonist’s shape looks very compelling, combining the feeling of an eagle with the leading actor. Usually the leading actor hides in his hood, and his movements are neat and tidy. , Leaving after killing people, it feels very refreshing and compelling.

  In addition, the dialogue in Assassin's Creed is also very compelling, especially the [everything is allowed, everything is false] gives people a sense of unclearness, and has always been regarded as a classic by the players of Assassin's Creed.

Second, the special action gameplay, such as the Hidden Blade specially used by the assassins, usually caged in the sleeves. When you get close to others, you will silently stab the opponent's throat with a sharp sword, which looks clean and neat. You experience the joy of an assassin.

  The action of Assassin’s Creed is very rich. Although it is not possible to swim or double jump in the first generation, it has been able to climb stairs, climb walls, drill through grass, hang on top of wood, jump from one roof to another...

  In 2007, it was still very powerful as an action game.

   Third, the sense of cinema.

  There are a lot of lens applications inside, which gives you the feeling of watching a blockbuster movie.

  Especially the use of [Fuzzy Lens] in the game, it makes you even more addicted.

  What is a blurred lens? When the player is moving at a high speed, the field of view will be blurred due to the Doppler effect generated during the movement, giving you a sense of speed close to reality.

  When the player jumps from a high altitude, the sense of the lens becomes more obvious.

  Therefore, some players who are afraid of heights are not suitable for playing this game. There will be a noticeable feeling of falling when playing, because the motion blur made by Assassin’s Creed is closer to reality.

  Character modeling, time sense, dialogue, plus CG and real-life animation interspersed in the process of small events, make this work look like a hearty assassin movie.

  The plot structure is also very classic. Even later, many authors from the starting point have specially studied the plot of Assassin's Creed 1. The rhythm, foreshadowing, character details, and settings are all examples of online teaching.

  In general, Assassin’s Creed gives people a kind of sinister, cold, and handsome! There is a compelling feeling, so it can stand out in 2007 and become a classic of Ubisoft.

  ...

  Although this game was released in 2007, it was a project established in 2004.

  Ubisoft took nearly 3 years, and it was not developed until 2007. I have to say that Ubisoft’s development speed is really slow.

  Calculating the time, Ubisoft has almost started to develop it now.

  However, it will take three years to develop, and Cao Yang can only laugh in his heart. You deserve to be unlucky.

  Bomi has the foundation of "Shan Hai Jing", plus the X2 engine, obviously it takes much shorter time. According to Cao Yang's estimation, it can be developed in almost a year.

  Wait until Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed comes out, they will find that the daylily is already cold.

  ...

   "I want to make an assassin-type action game." Cao Yang said to Li Lanyun.

   "Huh?" Li Lanyun looked at him silently, waiting for Boss Cao's following.

  After all, there are only two keywords here, [Assassin] [Action], but the specifics have not yet been able to make a concrete association.

   is just a concept now, Li Lanyun has no way to imagine this concept.

  Cao Yang smiled. If he could explain it in one sentence, he would be relieved to be the boss in the future.

  I knew that Li Lanyun would be like this, so Cao Yang had prepared a white board and markers early.

   "I will tell you what this thing is and how to play it."

  Cao Yang used a marker to draw ideas on the whiteboard while explaining the details of the gameplay to him.

  In fact, what Cao Yang wrote is [Assassin’s Creed], pronounced [Sekiro]

  Or rather, it is a combination of Assassin’s Creed and Sekiro.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (Sekiro: ShadowsDieTwice) is a third-person perspective action-adventure sandbox game made by FromSoftware. Players control a ninja to save his master-the power of Japanese aristocratic blood. The prince and revenge on his natural enemies.

  In the game, only wolves can upgrade their skills and moves. This game can be called a model of action games. Although countless people complain about being too abused and want to smash the keyboard, the impact and viewing experience are very good.

  Especially the entire background story and gameplay of Sekiro, the character settings are more in line with Chinese culture, and the style of painting can also be said to be very oriental, which fascinates many Chinese people.

  Cao Yang’s idea is to use a combination of Sekiro and Assassin’s Creed, with Sekiro’s gameplay as the main body, and then combine China’s own unique background to make such an action game.

  In other words, the protagonist is an assassin, but the entire combat system uses wolves to fight, including character growth and skill upgrades, all using wolves.

  This is why the so-called writing [Assassin’s Creed] is pronounced [Sekiro].

  It took more than two hours, and Li Lanyun finally got a general idea.

  If this action game can be made, the action is beautifully designed, the moves and skills, as well as the boss and monsters are all done, it should be more brilliant.

  The gameplay can probably be determined.

  Then the rest is the packaging problem.

  "Then I will tell you the story background and protagonist setting I want to use." Cao Yang said, "This is quite important, because if you leave this story setting, the game will be greatly reduced."

   "Hmm." Li Lanyun nodded.

   "It's like this, the protagonist I want to use is Jing Ke, and I also figured out the name of the game, it's called [Assassin's Soul]."

Eh? !

  When he heard this, Li Lanyun's eyes lit up, and there was a general idea in his brain.

   "So are we going to link up with King Glory, here is the female version of Ake?"

  Cao Yang smiled, "Almost so, but I want to make magical changes to the entire storyline."

   "Hmm." Li Lanyun nodded and listened carefully to Boss Cao's next narration.

   "In this game, I don't want to be a pure martial arts game. I hope to add a little fantasy element, such as the power of ghosts."

   Cao Yang said, drew a character image in the picture, one of her hands rose up and a black smoke appeared, which looked a bit half-human and half-ghost.

  Although it was a sketch, Li Lanyun still felt the wonderful power.

  A transformed Jing Ke...

  The character model must be re-made, it has to be made tall, and it will be hard to forget at a glance.

  "This role can be the King of Glory Ake, but at the beginning of the story, she was not called by this name."

   "What's that called?" Li Lanyun asked suspiciously.

  Anyone who has played Glory of the Kings knows her name is A Ke, a popular character in the game, and the heroic spirit of Wei Feng in Glory of Kings.

  Now the boss wants to use this role, but she is not allowed to use this name, Li Lanyun is a little confused.

  Cao Yang smiled, "I call her Feng."

  He wrote the word [Maple] on the whiteboard.

   "Feng was an assassin from the beginning, a killer, but a killer raised by King Qin, doing some shameful things for him, getting rid of dissidents, and eradicating enemies on the road.

  Maple is an invincible killer. She has a strong ghost power, her body is alienated, and she can explode power far beyond ordinary people, so many famous generals and monsters have died under Feng's sword. "

  Speaking of this, Cao Yang paused deliberately, and said, "Then, Feng met his enemy—

  Jing Ke. "

  "Huh?" Li Lanyun only felt his scalp numb when he heard this.

  A flash of lightning flashed in his heart.

   But this glimmer of electricity was fleeting, and when he wanted to figure out what it was, it was gone.

   "This Jing Ke is a male character." Cao Yang said with a smile, "He is a well-known character in this game. He has superb swordsmanship, elegant posture, upright and upright, and is a kind-hearted knight."

   "Then, one day, Feng received the task of assassinating Jing Ke."

   "Huh?!" The feeling in Li Lanyun's heart rose up this time, but it was a pity that he still didn't catch it, which made people particularly uncomfortable.

  But he faintly felt that Boss Cao’s story is not simple. Thinking about this story carefully, it really has a creepy feeling.

  He originally thought that the protagonist was a righteous man, but he did not expect to be a killer next to King Qin, and finally he wanted to assassinate Jing Ke.

  "In this battle, we designed Jing Ke to be more powerful, so that players can deeply feel the terrible Jing Ke.

  You can let Feng be defeated by Jing Ke first, but Jing Ke did not kill her.

The process after    is Feng's search for assassinating Jing Ke.

  In the process of assassinating Jing Ke, Feng witnessed many of Jing Ke’s deeds, so he gradually understood his personality, and was finally influenced by Jing Ke’s justice and faith. "

  "One night, a group of murderers with demon power attacked Jing Ke. It turned out that it was King Qin who saw that Feng hadn't done anything for a long time, and had doubts about her.

  In this battle, Jing Ke and his good friend Fan Yuqi both died. "

   "Huh?!" Li Lanyun's eyes widened, and his heart was plopped by the twists and turns of Cao Yang's story.

  What kind of turning point is this?

  Jing Ke is dead, is there still King Assassin Qin behind?

   "King Qin is possessed by evil spirits and will do things that endanger the world."

Cao Yang continued, "Unfortunately, Jing Ke has already died in battle. He originally wanted to assassinate King Qin, but he never had this opportunity. Before he died, he gave his sword to Feng, and Feng also inherited Jing Ke's power as an assassin. ."

  "Before Jing Ke was dying, he felt that all his life’s dreams had been wiped out. The assassination of King Qin could no longer be realized. A little swordsman had not wielded the world’s best sword, and no one would remember his name.

  But he can save Feng, which is a thing worthy of joy.

  Jing Ke was seriously injured and he was not far from death.

   Feng said to him:

  You can swing the best sword in the world and use the best in the world.

  Your name will resound in the sky, spread through the ages, and become a model of swordsman.

  Because you let me see something very amazing. "

  Li Lanyun clicked in his heart. He had already had some thoughts. Although he didn't know if it was correct, his scalp was numb when he was shaken by the thought.

   Cao Yang said, “On the day when King Qin is about to completely transform into an evil spirit.

  An assassin appeared in front of the main hall.

   Feng is fully armed, with Jing Ke’s sword, and her ghost hand.

  She has reached the perfect state now, can wield the best swords in the world, and she has great pride in her heart. She is the number one swordsman.

  ‘Who will come? ’

   Feng replied—‘Jing Ke. ’

  "

  Fuck...

  Li Lanyun was deeply shocked by the story told by Cao Yang.

  Although Cao Yang only gave a general idea, Li Lanyun has basically been able to make up all the details.

  What a...a song and tearful story.

   "Then in the end, Feng became Jing Ke?"

   "Yes." Cao Yang said.

"Did she win?" Li Lanyun asked suspiciously, "Or, did we let her win? This female assassin who bears the name of Jing Ke, since then, no one remembers her original name. Did she successfully kill King Qin?"

   Cao Yang lowered his head and thought, "What do you think?"

I think…

  Li Lanyun was as if struck by lightning.

   Suddenly he raised his head suddenly.

  I was too deep into the play just now, and when Cao Yang asked this sentence back, Li Lanyun reverted to the status of planning.

  From the perspective of planning, Li Lanyun reorganized it from the beginning.

  "The most powerful part of this game is that although we are a magic change, the logic is very meticulous. It is because of the rationality of these that players have a deeper sense of substitution.

  It seems that such a thing has really happened in history.

  So...from the perspective of planning, in order to make the story a new height and give players a deeper sense of shock..."

  When Li Lanyun said this, she was already shaking slightly.

  Although he didn't want this ending very much, but the rationality of the planning told him that it should be like this.

  There is no perfect thing, but because the ending is like this, it is more real and will give players a deep sense of shock.

   "So, Ake can't win. She has to lose, and she has to die in the Palace of King Qin, so that the players will remember this story.

  The ending of this story is destined from the beginning. "

  Cao Yang listened to him silently, and sighed a long time later.

"Yes, it is true. However, we can make Ake lose decently, at least so that she can kill the ghost attached to King Qin. From another line, although Ake died in the palace of King Qin , But she killed the evil spirits that endangered the world, and everything returned to the right way, which was considered to have saved the world.

  The sense of tragedy will not be so heavy. "

   "Well, good." Li Lanyun nodded seriously, "I understand."

  Before leaving the meeting room, Li Lanyun silently said:

   "Assassin's Soul: Maple"

  Although there is no own name in the game, the player will remember you.

  ...
