Build a game empire from scratch

One hour and forty minutes passed.

At the end of the movie, Qin Songyun and Xiaochun were still silent in their seats, unable to utter a word.

It is difficult for them to describe their mood at the moment, who knows how they spent this hour and forty minutes.

Even Xiaochun, who had already guessed that this was a show about being handsome, was completely stunned, let alone Qin Songyun, who had been playing gunfight games.

The content of the film is very simple: a wimp with the blood of an assassin, who was tricked by the killer organization, trained as a super killer, and then went to kill his own father, only to find out that he had been fooled after the killing, and completely destroyed the killer's lair in a rage.

But what did they see during this hour and forty minutes?

Shoot the fly's wings without hurting the fly; follow the orders of the loom to carry out the assassination; assassinate on the top of the speeding train, fly 360 degrees on the road, shoot bullets down from the skylight of the bulletproof car; the butcher at close range Slash bullets without wounding; shoot yourself with a round trajectory...

It's even hard for them to tell which one is more outrageous.

Okay. After a long silence, Qin Songyun said: I understand, the boss is not going to make an ordinary gunfight game, but a...fantasy gunfight game.

He hesitated for a while, but chose the adjective fantasy.

He had never seen such a brainstorming gun battle, and felt at a loss as to what to do.

In previous games, in terms of system and value, the basic level was to increase blood volume, physical strength, shooting calibration, bullet damage value, etc., plus the design and acquisition of different firearms, and the rest was basically on the plot and scene.

No one has ever thought of directly overturning the common sense that the trajectory of a bullet is a straight line.

It can only be said that Lin You is very bold, very bold!

But Qin Songyun thought about it, and had to say, this idea is very exciting!

Just watching this movie, he can't wait to try the feeling of shooting an arc gun with his own hands, let alone a player!

He was already a little tired of making three gunfight games in a row. After all, no matter how many ideas and talents there are, three years and three games have almost emptied his inspiration.

But now he feels that he has countless ideas constantly popping up, and the source of inspiration has been activated again, which makes him can't wait to do a big job right away!

But Xiaochun raised a question: This is a plot where the male protagonist is the main storyline, so what about the female player?

Ah? Xiaochun's question stopped Qin Songyun.

There are indeed fewer female players in shootout games than male players, but it must not be ignored!

In previous VR games, players just played through the monitor, female players playing male characters were not a big problem, or when the plot was designed, both male and female protagonists were fine, but the opening plot of League of Assassins...

Good guy, as soon as the female player came in, the opening scene was that the best friend had an affair with her boyfriend behind her back? Is this too exciting?

The female player was afraid that it wasn't the first time she got the gun, so she just killed this couple without saying a word...

That's not right! Qin Songyun reacted, Cuckolds are not only unbearable for female players, but also for male players!

Well... the national conditions are different... Xiaochun nodded.

?? Qin Songyun was a little confused, could it be related to the different national conditions? Do foreigners not care much about their partner cheating?

In short, many parts of the plot need to be changed. Qin Songyun said his conclusion.

I think so too. Xiaochun nodded in agreement, The boss may be too serious about making the film, and he made it as a complete movie. Many foreshadowings and turning points are really important in movies, but very important in games. Probably not at all.

Indeed. Qin Songyun nodded in approval, For example, after the protagonist is taken to the base camp by the female killer, the protagonist in the movie will leave because of fear, but if it is a player, 99% of them will stay on the spot and start exploring the new map.

Yes, there was also the first mission where the protagonist couldn't do it, but when it comes to players, most of them don't think about human struggles and moral burdens. They know that they are playing a game, and all of this is fake.

Indeed. Qin Songyun is very sure, he knows the psychology of players too well, They never ask why they want to kill, they only ask who is the target? Where is it? What reward will they give after killing? If the reward is good, they will Brush again and again.

We can summarize the opinions on the modification of the plot. After the boss finishes his work, we can discuss together. Let's do some basic work first. Qin Song suggested.

I think so too. Xiaochun nodded, I understand what he meant by the character design. Some of these characters do not conform to our country's aesthetics, and there are many things that need to be changed.

Especially the heroine, if we want our domestic players to feel a strong impact at first glance, they must be highly in line with oriental aesthetics, but at the same time, the character setting requires her to have a strong and glamorous temperament, these two points do not do Good words can easily create conflicts. Great, I love a challenge!

Well, let's get started then.

Qin Songyun and Xiaochun started their work separately.

According to his own habits, Qin Songyun first set up the character's level tree and upgrade curve. At each plot node, how many levels do players need and what abilities do they master to move forward smoothly.

Then divide the experience required for players to upgrade to these levels into the actions and task rewards that players can perform in this stage, so as to ensure that players will not get stuck in the level, nor will they pass the level too easily, so as to skip the game content.

After setting these, he began to set the battle levels of each plot node. With the help of the movie content provided by Lin You, this step was not too difficult.

Of course, considering the virtual nature of the game, Qin Songyun must enlarge the scale of the level to make the battle more intense, exciting, and gorgeous.

This will test his production skills.

Although the development tools used are amazing enough, the project is still too big for only one person. Qin Songyun estimated that if he did it by himself, it might take half a year.

Even if you add Lin You—unless Lin You has other secret weapons, it will still take several months.

But now that virtual reality equipment will soon be rolled out on a large scale, it may be difficult for a Journeyman to last for that long.

Especially the beta version of Journeyman that he and Xiaochun both experienced, I have a rough estimate in my heart, if the players are more enthusiastic, they may be able to collect all the customs in two or three days.

In order to prevent players from leaving their devices in the corner for dust, the second game must be released as soon as possible!

However, the manpower of Yunmeng Studio was too small, and it was boycotted by big factories, so it could not recruit satisfactory high-level talents.

How to do it?

When he was working on Flame 3, he was supported by a project team with more than a hundred people, but now it has become three people...

etc! Thinking of this, Qin Songyun suddenly had a bold idea:

Can I recruit the people from NetDragon's Raging Flames project team to Yunmeng?

Three more to continue (3/3)
