You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 416: The Somatosensory Cabin Panoramic Open World Xianxia Game "Never Night" Project Launch (2-in-1 Order Request)

Mo Xiaoxuan and the other two were really confused.

Unique, how unique should it be, and how unique should it be?
So, Lu Yu divided the work among them.
Mo Xiaoxuan's studio is responsible for the game's combat system.

Wan Xiaotong's studio is responsible for the game's large world exploration and other gameplay systems.

Huawu's studio is responsible for the game's story.

"It's settled. Bring us the plan as soon as possible!"

The three of them looked at each other, but had no choice but to do as they were told.

……

A few days later.

Hua Wu, with dark circles under her eyes, brought the preliminary world view and background setting of the game.

The following text was written on the PPT:

In ancient times, a war between gods and demons broke out between Chi You, who was supported by the Demon Realm, and Xuanyuan Huangdi, who was supported by the Heaven Realm. The war ended with a tragic victory for the Heaven Realm camp, and ancestral gods such as Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong ascended to Hongjun Tiandao.

During this war, the nightmare demons released from the Demon Realm ravaged the earth. Yinglong, a subordinate of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, sacrificed himself to save all living beings in the world and eliminated most of the nightmare demons.

Chi You fled underground with the remaining Jiuli tribe, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

When Xiangliu was defeated, he released a formation called "Nightmare Cocoon", which wrapped up the entire Jiuzhou with the Soul-Breaking Realm as the boundary.

For thousands of years, the Jiuli tribe came to Jiuzhou as blood roses, wantonly provoking wars, releasing nightmares, and guiding creatures to kill each other, allowing the Nightmare Cocoon to harvest the power of souls from them and accumulate strength for Xiangliu's resurrection.

At the same time, the people of the world who were ignorant of the truth blamed Yinglong for the current desolation.

Against this backdrop, a young girl named Zhong Wuye, the last of the Dragonborn, embarks on an adventurous journey to lead her people in search of their homeland, the Xuantian Dragon Territory...

……

After Lu Yu, he kept beating the drums.
I rely on!

Miss Huawu is worthy of being a novelist, the background of this story is quite exciting!

Oops!

He almost wanted to go into this world and explore it himself.

No, he must follow Miss Waihuawu's thinking!

So, Lu Yu said:

“Okay, then let’s call this game “Nightless” and we’ll develop it based on this script.

However, the story is not important, we need to first determine the world view and camps!"

Hua Wu tilted her head. "But before I even start writing, blindly piling on the settings is the kind of story that only has the potential to flop."

"We are different!"

Lu Yu continued to use his deceptive tactics: "This is not a novel, but a game! How can it work without a complete faction setting? Come on, let's brainstorm on the spot!"

Using the little knowledge they had learned, several people racked their brains and finally came up with a prototype for this world based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas:
Kyushu Continent: An imaginary world based on the Chinese mainland.

Nightmare Demon: A monster that appeared on the earth after the war between gods and demons. It not only attacks humans, but also pollutes living beings and causes nightmare disasters.

Nightmare Disaster: Humans attacked or infected by nightmare demons will experience nightmare phenomena, with their skin turning black and their faces becoming hideous. They may even attack others, but they will eventually turn into puppets or die of exhaustion.

Puppet: Humans infected by the Nightmare, if they are strong enough, will avoid death and turn into mindless undead soldiers and become undead creatures.

Nightmare Cocoon: Xiangliu, defeated in the war between gods and demons, unleashes a formation that envelops the entire continent. The Nightmare Cocoon unleashes nightmares and harvests the power of souls within, accumulating strength for Xiangliu's resurrection.

Soul-Breaking Realm: The border of the Nightmare Cocoon, the entrance to the Demon Realm and the Jiuli Tribe.

Dayuan Dynasty: A Central Plains civilization country based on the Northern Song Dynasty.

Northern Zhou Empire: A nomadic empire based on the Liao, Jin and Mongolian dynasties.

……

Seeing the settings that they brainstormed, Lu Yun took another breath.

What's going on? It's getting more and more exciting!
But, to put it bluntly, this is the story of a girl named Zhong Wuye searching for her home. How complicated can it be?

Lu Yu decided to put aside Hua Wu's progress for the time being and let her perform.

So he looked at Mo Xiaoxuan.

"Milk Candy... Oh no, sorry, I'm used to calling you that. Mo Xiaoxuan, how is your group's Xianxia combat system design?"

……

After hearing this, Mo Xiaoxuan immediately straightened his slender waist, his expression brightened, and began to report in detail on the Xianxia combat system designed by their studio:
"Mr. Lu, we've put a lot of effort into the design of the Xianxia combat system this time. We've referenced many excellent design concepts from action games, aiming to create a gorgeous, immersive combat experience for players.

As an open world game, we have adopted a very practical and free-to-evolve combat system.

Players can freely switch between different martial arts schools. Each school has a unique fighting style, such as the calm and relaxed Tai Chi, the elegant and graceful swordsmanship, the powerful and vigorous Wushu, and so on.

Each style offers dozens of meticulously categorized moves to choose from. For example, Tai Chi includes dozens of stunning combos like the Tongbi Pai (Through Arm Slap), Push Hands, Swinging Hands and Elbow Punch, and Sliding Knee Thrust. Each of these moves is meticulously crafted, with smooth and graceful movements, a true feast for the eyes.

Moreover, each movement is imbued with the charm of oriental martial arts, blending the spirit of traditional Chinese culture. Watching it makes one feel as if they are in a fairyland, with the body and mind in an incredibly awe-inspiring harmony! For example, the Cloud Hands flip, soaring through the air like a fleeting cloud; the Rising Dragon Style in the Nine Yang Divine Art, with both palms illusory, looks like a real dragon soaring into the sky..."

Mo Xiaoxuan became more and more excited as he spoke.

"In addition, we've adopted a brand-new simulation physics engine, which can meticulously reproduce the unique qualities of different martial arts schools. For example, when performing a slap, the sleeves of the clothes flutter in the air, while when performing a chop, the force is calm and powerful, full of a bold and unrestrained aura. Whether it's fierce or gentle, each movement gives players a unique experience."

Having said this, Mo Xiaoxuan couldn't help but waved her slender hands, as if copying a graceful move, and then continued with a lingering feeling:
"We also place great emphasis on the feel of combat, employing brand-new vibration feedback technology. Every attack, every parry, even hovering and gravity changes, the somatosensory pod will respond accordingly, delivering an experience even more immersive than VR."

"Regarding combat design, I think we can delve into innovation. For example, players can freely switch into the Qimen Dunjia formation and apply various magical array effects during combat, such as phantom clones, telekinesis, stealth, etc., adding more fun and variety to the battle."

"In addition, we have also carefully created supreme magical powers. Players can gather enough internal strength and magic power to control amazing magical skills, such as my tears turn into ice, flying snow and ice covering thousands of miles."

As Mo Xiaoxuan got excited, his tone became more and more excited, and he gestured and talked.
Lu Yu suddenly interrupted his enthusiasm and waved his hand slightly.

……

At this moment, Lu Yu's heart was in turmoil! Good thing I had communicated with these little scroll kings in advance, otherwise I would definitely be stabbed in the back by them!

This combat system sounds damn interesting. Combined with the motion sensing cabin, are you guys going to defy the heavens?!

"Okay, okay, I understand everything else."

Lu Yu pretended to nod in praise, "Your designs are undoubtedly mature and sound, but in reality, they can all be traced back to past combat systems..."

"Mr. Lu, what are you saying?"

Mo Xiaoxuan has always been alert. He noticed the hidden meaning in Lu Yu's words and immediately looked suspicious.

"No, no, no, of course I appreciate your work, but..."

There was a hint of cynicism in Lu Yu's expression.
"Actually, I have higher expectations for your studio.
After all, it was your "Free and Easy Life of Chatter" that started the backstab... Oh no, I mean, it started the wave of innovation in the company!
So, rather than asking you to reinvent the wheel, I'd actually rather hear some more avant-garde innovative ideas. Something that will amaze players and give them a completely new experience!
Don't forget, our somatosensory game console "Dream World" is a game console based on human dreams.
So, can the combat system of our first flagship game be innovated from this perspective, and combined with the elements of Xianxia and dragons? Think about it..."

When Lu Yu said this, he winked meaningfully at Mo Xiaoxuan.

Mo Xiaoxuan was startled and swallowed nervously, thinking to himself: It seems that Mr. Lu is determined to make drastic changes to this game!
Mo Xiaoxuan was deeply awakened by Lu Yu's words. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and her alert little brain was working rapidly. She nodded slowly, her expression quickly changing from initial suspicion to determination. It seemed that Mr. Lu's request was exactly what she wanted!
"Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean! Do you think this will work?"

So he picked up the computer and started typing away on the PPT.

……

"Mr. Lu, you're absolutely right! As the first flagship game for the Dream World console, centered around dreams, we naturally need to boldly innovate the combat system and create a brand new experience that surpasses user imagination."

"I have some avant-garde ideas here, please listen to them."

"We might as well push the player's immersive experience to a higher level, completely connecting dreams and reality, and allowing players to immerse themselves in a completely new form of existence in the game!"

“Specifically, we can allow players to have an anthropomorphic ‘dream world avatar’ when they enter the game.

After all, the protagonist is a Dragonborn, so we can package this thing as a special ability that Dragonborn possesses!"

Although he didn't know the specific extent to which the Dream World Sensory Cabin could be realized, since Mr. Lu had given him a guarantee, he could imagine it without restraint:
The image of the "dream avatar" can be the protagonist (the player themselves), some strange creature, or even a projection of their consciousness in a dream. In short, the player's consciousness data is converted into a brand new character image that exists in the virtual world.

This image isn't fixed; it evolves based on the player's actions within the game. For example, the avatar might become ferocious and menacing during battle, peaceful and dignified during spiritual practice, or hideous and hideous when committing evil deeds.
Furthermore, this image is also influenced by the player's inner consciousness. For example, if the player's heart is good, it will be radiant, but if it is tainted with evil, it will be hideous! Furthermore, if the player has a special complex or nightmare, their dream avatar will be distorted and mutated in that aspect. "

"With this unique dream avatar system, the combat experience will be like no other. Players will experience the exhilaration of battle in a whole new form of existence, unleashing unprecedented special moves!"

Mo Xiaoxuan combined this dream world incarnation with the conventional combat systems he had just imagined:
"For example, the Cloud Riding Technique can transform into a fusion of physical and illusory forms in a flash of a thought. Or, with the roar of a beast soul, one can transform into a majestic and ferocious beast. Or, with the help of the immortal soul Zhu Rong, one can transform one's physical body into the form of the Fire God, the True Lord of Fiery Flame, and transform all things into one."

"We can also add special effects inspired by dreams, such as time stagnation, spatial distortion, environmental collapse, and so on. Combined with stunning visual effects, players will often feel the chaotic experience of the world collapsing during battle!"

"In short, the goal is to allow players to completely abandon conventional cognition and freely roam in dreams with a new attitude that transcends physical reality, unleashing unprecedented fantastical skills and gaining a hearty combat experience!"

Mo Xiaoxuan's cheeks flushed with excitement as he spoke, and even his usually shy eyes sparkled. Watching him recount his fantastic ideas, Lu Yu couldn't help but nod and smile, his expression becoming increasingly interested.

"Not bad, not bad. Your ideas are a good start." Lu Yu nodded with a smile.

Very good!
This thing sounds just as unreliable as the Dream World Motion Sensor Cabin!

Just as difficult to achieve!
Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to encourage:

"But in my opinion, the meaning of dreams seems to be even more mysterious than what you said! We must continue to be creative in this area in the future and not let the players down!"

"I understand, Mr. Lu, don't worry!"

Mo Xiaoxuan nodded.

……

After dealing with Mo Xiaoxuan, Lu Yu turned his attention to Wan Xiaotong.

It should be said that Lu Yu once felt most at ease with this girl with a strong case of middle school syndrome.

Unexpectedly, the studio she led actually stabbed Lu Yu in the back several times.

But this time, with him personally supervising the battle, there should be no problem, right?
So, he asked curiously, "Ms. Wan Xiaotong, how are the designs for the big world exploration and other gameplay systems going?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaotong's eyes lit up immediately and she straightened her slender body, showing the temperament of a middle school girl.

She glanced at Lu Yu sideways, her expression full of disapproval.

Xu Qin translated truthfully:
"Just designing a large world exploration system? That's a piece of cake!"

Afterwards, the PPT began to be displayed on the computer in the conference room:

"First, we will build a vast Xianxia open world that encompasses everything and has countless scenes.

Vast grasslands, steep mountains, deep forests, and vast oceans are all available! This vast land will be composed of a variety of unique landforms, allowing players to roam freely and appreciate the magnificent scenery of nature.

“In this vast world, we have carefully arranged countless exploration points and hidden attractions, allowing players to tirelessly search for rare treasures while traveling around the world.

For example, you might find a magical weapon inlaid with immortal crystals on the summit of a solitary peak, or discover an ancient manual of cultivation beside a towering ancient tree in a deep forest. Whether it's the boundless power left behind by a reclusive master or rare treasures, there are surprises everywhere!"

“In addition to the fun of exploring these paradises, we also have a rich variety of side quests set up everywhere, allowing players to inadvertently encounter an ups and downs adventure.

For example, a commission from the Jianghu to rescue a beautiful woman? Or a call to expedition to the desert to retrieve a national treasure? Or the cause and effect of being suddenly involved in a war between immortals and Buddhas? All these mysteries are waiting for players to unravel with brand new experiences!

Wan Xiaotong kept turning the pages, and Xu Qin was also driven by her emotions and became more and more excited:

"To create an omnipresent and thrilling experience for players, we can use advanced AI algorithms to generate ever-changing real-time events. Turn around and you might be attacked by a pack of ferocious beasts, or encounter a few exceptionally skilled masters. These ever-changing surprises and challenges will be everywhere, at all times! The entire vast world is like a cauldron of unknowns, always boiling with new attractions!"

Having said that, Wan Xiaotong took a deep breath, his expression a little arrogant.

Xu Qin's voice also suddenly rose:

“And to make this fantastic and colorful world more vivid, we will equip each area with reasonable resident NPCs, and they can have a complete life trajectory with each other!
From birth to school, from love to marriage, and even into the uncertainties of middle age, each stage presents its own unique encounters, joys, sorrows, and emotions. To fully delve into the side storylines, you must first understand the origins and dreams of these NPCs. Over time, some of them may even reveal breathtaking stories of reincarnation!

Finally, Xu Qin took a sip of water and concluded:

"In short, our project team will draw on the lessons learned from "Crazy Girls" to build a brand-new fantasy masterpiece. The entire world will be vibrant and full of energy! There will be unknown explorations, suspense, and new things that will surprise you unexpectedly! This is the prototype of a true open-world masterpiece!"

When Wan Xiaotong and Xu Qin talked about this, they looked obsessed, with passion burning in their eyes.

Lu Yu was completely dumbfounded.

Wow, do you have to design games to be this exciting?!
