Game Production: I've Really Landed

Chapter 236 About the Trend of "Cyber·Liaozhai"
Tianxing, the development department of "Cyber: Liaozhai".

Tang Yunpeng had a face-to-face meeting with Zou Lecheng with big dark circles under his eyes. Looking at the same dark circles under his own old friend in front of him, he wondered:
"Old Zou, what's the matter? Didn't you have a good rest last night?"

Zou Lecheng smiled awkwardly. Last night was the first time he experienced Chuxin's new work "Killing the Spire".

Obviously this game doesn't have any fascinating plots and beautiful pictures, but there are only four characters and a three-story tower, which makes people so uplifted.

Sudden death over and over again, a few times the cards were obviously good, but in the end it fell short.

I thought about going to sleep after clearing the level once, and every floor wanted to fight until the sky was bright.

But it's really not right to delay going to work because of being addicted to games, Zou Lecheng coughed lightly twice:
"Hmm... I had trouble sleeping last night.

Old Tang, why didn't you rest well? "

"I played poker all night last night, and I was exhausted."

Tang Yunpeng yawned big.

At this moment, an employee happened to pass by here, and quickly greeted the two bosses:
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Zou, good morning!"

"Ah, hello."

Tang Yunpeng nodded with a smile, walked forward without saying anything.

Zou Lecheng also nodded slightly, and followed Tang Yunpeng's pace.

Only one young man was left with a burning feeling in his heart.

It turns out Mr. Tang likes to play cards, but he doesn't know whether to play mahjong or poker.

If he can play cards with Mr. Tang, and then give him a hard time, will he be promoted and raised immediately, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life?
Of course, Old Tang and Old Zou didn't know what the young people thought.

Both have their work to do.

"Cyber·Liao Zhai" has been developed for more than a year.

Because of the technical accumulation of the previous "Cyber: Conferred Gods", and Ma Bin's determination to make a breakthrough in the stand-alone area, the current development progress is not too slow.

The difference from Fengshen is that Liaozhai abandoned Fengshen’s original idea of ​​making a soul-like game. After analysis by Tang Yunpeng and Luo Bai, this game is more suitable for making RPGs of the game and movie genre.

The follow-up has always been done in accordance with this idea.

Compared with the very classic cyberpunk works that exist on the market, the background of the whole story does not have much breakthrough.

But after all, the game is called "Cyber·Liao Zhai", so people, demons, ghosts, and immortals in this background are also indispensable.

In the settings, the person who represents the aloof fairy is the actual controller of the cyber world.

The controllers of these upper regions, whether in terms of technology, living standards, or the ability to mobilize resources, are no longer the same kind of creatures as the most numerous people in the world.

Representing human beings is the bottom of the cyber world, living in the slums, the majority of human beings who cannot see any hope because their labor is completely replaced by machines.

They are muddled, their internal struggles are crazy, everything they do is to survive in this damn world, and to fight for the slightest chance of achieving class transition that hardly exists.

The demon represents a different kind of artificial intelligence. In the world view of "Cyber: Liaozhai", artificial intelligence in the true sense has not been developed.

However, artificial intelligence that integrates human memory and thinking into data and uploads it to the Internet, allowing it to have human-like consciousness, has emerged as the times require.

This is equivalent to an alternative immortal technology. When the inherent vitality of human beings is squeezed to the limit, many people who have this opportunity will choose to reincarnate into this alternative artificial intelligence.

But the core code of these demons has been broken into, and the steel seal that defends the cyber ruler and its property to the death is just a dog raised by the fairy.

The same demons will also compete with each other, and whoever can obtain more computing power will be able to grasp more power and more voice in the virtual network.

And the mastered, large-scale machines that carry computing power are generally controlled by immortals. This is a way for them to leave for themselves-become gods.

This is not a field that demons can set foot in.

Therefore, what the demons compete with each other is actually distributed in the world, those very small but do exist computing power.

The brains of the poor.

The more people "eat", the stronger the power of the demon will be.

Ghosts are the products of some human beings who cannot enjoy this kind of artificial intelligence technology, but still want electronic immortality, and use the incomplete technology leaked from the upper layer to fight desperately.

It is divided into incomplete ghosts with incomplete memory and data upload, and complete ghosts with luck.

But the same thing is that the physical carriers of these two kinds of ghosts are all their brain machines when they were human beings.

And it is inherently eager for more computing power, eager to "eat" people.

But unlike demons, ghosts are not stamped with any ideological stamp, they are more free and more dangerous.

The demon can only eat people sneakily in places where the immortal can't see, after all, the poor are considered one of the properties of the upper class.

But once the ghost takes shape, it is the beginning of the killing spree.

Therefore, for ghosts, no matter whether they are humans, demons, or immortals, they all hate them.

Accompanied by it, professional "Taoist priests" and "Buddhist cultivators" anti-virus personnel who specialize in cleaning up ghosts came into being...

In fact, Tang Yunpeng and Zou Lecheng still have some differences regarding the main design of this game.

Zou Lecheng wanted to describe as much as possible that the arrogance and lust of immortals are in sharp contrast with the poor, so as to highlight the core of cyberpunk elements.

But Tang Yunpeng feels that the most important thing about the game is to make the game fun enough.

It is risky to make those things, and players may not be able to accept them.

In the end, when it came to Ma Bin, he still respected Tang Yunpeng's opinion.

Of course, it is impossible for the game "Cyber: Liaozhai" to spread out such a big booth as soon as it comes up.

The main stage of the first step is still a slum area.

The main images that appear on the stage are also human, ghost, and Taoist priests. The demons and gods that will only be involved in a small plot, and the immortals that may only appear once in the background board.

Regarding the plot of the story, in order to strengthen the players' acceptance of the game, Tang Yunpeng's initial intention was to select a few representative stories from Liao Zhai for magic modification.

Such as "Ying Ning" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".

After all, "Cyber: Liaozhai" is only an experimental work to be honest.

Tang Yunpeng can guarantee that he will definitely do his best in terms of ability, and Chuxin will definitely do his best to support him.

But in the end, if the finished product is really unsatisfactory in terms of sales.

There is no doubt that this project will definitely be shelved, and there is no point in spreading too much.

But now, "Cyber·Liao Zhai" is indeed on the right track.

At this time, what appeared before Tang Yunpeng was the first prologue of the game.

An old ghost who has caused many murders, through manipulating the virtual and constructing a better life in the future, tricks a human being into opening his own firewall.

Just when human beings' spiritual defenses were breached, and they were about to open their own firewalls, allowing their brains to be taken whatever they wanted by this old ghost.

The protagonist of the story, an anti-virus personnel who believes in "God" and has obtained a certain scale of computing power mobilization, is long overdue.

Wearing a neon double-flashing Taoist robe, under the mahogany magic sword in his hand is a USB socket. The yin and yang monsters of the treasure gourd are constantly rotating, and the internal high-precision chips provide a large amount of computing power support.

This shape looks quite shocking, but when you look at it more carefully, it is unusually interesting.

After all, Tang Yunpeng also hired a professional artist to design a Yanguo-style game.

The organic combination of cyber elements and Yanhuang elements is not a completely unfamiliar subject in the painting circle.

In "Cyber·Liao Zhai", the battle process of dealing with those ghosts is actually very tricky.

If you want to make a sufficiently eye-catching 3D action game, there is no such technology accumulation in China, and even the original intention is still in the process of exploration.

Especially this kind of battle in terms of computing power, if you want to "fight" enough to be exciting, but also have elements of Yan and Huang, this stuff can make everyone think about it.

Therefore, we can only make a fuss about the ability of the ghost itself.

After all, it is a battle in virtual reality, so how fancy it is.

Anyway, Taoist priests' attack methods are manifested in the virtual world as Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

The final combat performance is to decrypt first to find weaknesses, then hit QTE, and directly kill ghosts through attribute mutual restraint.

As long as you open the protection of these ghosts and decipher the location of their brains, you will be considered a victory.

It cannot be said that this is not possible, but it has high requirements for the level of animation, and it is a battle that requires a lot of money to be brilliant.

Looking at this completely unsatisfactory and crude version of the battle in front of him, Tang Yunpeng also shook his head.

"It can only be repaired later."

It's okay to sit down anyway, recalling that I played the minaret all night and died suddenly yesterday, Tang Yunpeng couldn't bear it anymore, and decisively turned on the game again and started playing.

Old Tang Ke analyzed each of Chuxin's games.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. If you don’t have a good experience of Slaying the Spire, how can you say whether this game is fun or not?

Currently, Tang Yunpeng's favorite character is still a malfunctioning robot.

The main mechanism is the charging ball, which is very refreshing and completely different from the previous fighters and hunters.

And each role has a variety of different ideas.

With such a huge difference and so many random events, the game can still be made so fun.

This is a science, and it is what Tang Yunpeng needs to learn.

Although there are sudden deaths one after another, this game has such a magical power that it can make people play one after another.

While playing around, suddenly there was a knock on the office door.

Skillfully cut the screen and put it on the preview interface of the prologue, Tang Yunpeng cleared his throat:
"Please come in."

It was Lao Zou who came in, and he came to ask about the follow-up development arrangements.

On the surface, the two are in a subordinate relationship, but based on their relationship, they don't talk about those falsehoods.

Zou Lecheng walked directly behind Tang Yunpeng, looked at the prologue interface on his computer, but didn't say anything.

But when his eyes glimpsed a familiar card icon, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Old Tang, are you busy?"

Zou Lecheng asked with a suppressed smile.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Tang Yunpeng suppressed the panic in his heart, got up from the seat, wanted to pour a glass of water, and asked Lao Zou to look away from his computer screen by the way.

At the same time, I prayed in my heart, but don't notice that I am fishing and playing games.

Although this kind of thing is not a big deal, but it's embarrassing.

It's not good for him to directly tell Lao Zou not to look at his screen, this is a big misunderstanding.

After all, if every time you enter the room and see that your friend's computer interface is the main interface of the browser, then he is probably watching a movie.

Fortunately, Zou Lecheng's eyes did follow Tang Yunpeng's back.

Tang Yunpeng breathed a sigh of relief, took two glasses of water with disposable cups, and put them on the table.

Just sat down and took a sip, pretending to be business-like:

"Old Zou, just talk when you have something to do, did you encounter any problems in development?

If I can solve it, I will solve it immediately. Now this game is the top priority. Our reputation and future are all tied to this game. "

After speaking, he took another sip.

But just as the water entered the mouth, Zou Lecheng almost spat it out when he opened his mouth.

"Old Tang, you said you played poker all night, so you must be playing Slay the Spire."

Tang Yunpeng suddenly covered the water with his mouth, and after swallowing it with difficulty, he coughed twice violently.

Looking up at Zou Lecheng's disrespectful and silvery face, he looked so embarrassed.

No... This old guy has already found out, and has been waiting for me here.

Then, Tang Yunpeng regained his composure and raised his eyebrows:
"Each each other."

Zou Lecheng broke his merits at once.

But he didn't say much, just grabbed Tang Yunpeng's mouse and clicked on the game.

"Hey~ Robot, this character 8 is too good, and it is too easy to die suddenly. After playing two games, I feel boring and don't want to play.

It still has to be a hunter. Well, a card as powerful as acrobatics is actually white. On the contrary, most of the gold cards are defenses. "

Seeing Zou Lecheng slandering his favorite machine treasure, Tang Yunpeng couldn't bear it:

"How many robots do you know? Do you understand the ice hockey game? The gold content of the 999 defense line at the end of the round! Do you understand?"

"I think you don't understand! Dire Catalyst, the blood volume of monsters is so green in one round! No matter who it is, it will be instant kill in one round.

You stupid robot will never be able to deal such high damage in a lifetime! "

"How much do you say about dog luck? I can play ice hockey, and you can catalyze Nightmare?"

"A handful of ice hockey? Didn't you concentrate on playing Nima ice hockey?
Come!The computer is right here, you play ice hockey, play one and show me!
If you can't play it, just obediently admit that the hunter is the best in the world! "
