Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 120 Goodbye Fujii Internal Meeting
Imperial City, Fujii Technology subsidiary, conference room.

In the dim conference room, everyone's expressions looked uncertain under the light and shadow of the projector.

The picture on the screen at this moment happens to be the end of the last episode of the first season of "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

pat.

Zhang Quan turned off the projector and looked at everyone: "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, and a designer mustered up the courage to stand up:

"Designer Zhang Da, I think Liu Wei has gone astray."

"Oh? What do you say?" Zhang Quan asked curiously.

As an A-level designer, Zhang Quan believes that he is always in the first echelon when it comes to games.

But since coming into contact with Liu Wei, Zhang Quan found that everything had changed.

Putting aside his unconstrained innovation first.

In terms of publicity alone, Zhang Quan couldn't keep up with Liu Wei's brain circuit.

When normal people do publicity, they always hire trolls to build momentum, go on various hot searches, and release some game content from time to time to whet the appetite of players...

Liu Wei is different, he doesn't follow the normal routine at all.

From the early popularity to the recent pets, trolls scolding each other, and even this time, animation is used to promote the game.

It's simply impossible to guess.

Using animation to promote the game... and paying him back is [-] million investment. This is simply crazy!

Therefore, he called all the designers in the company over this time to see if he could brainstorm ideas and get some inspiration.

After getting Zhang Quan's permission, the designer said nervously and excitedly:

"This animation is indeed very good, well-produced, with exquisite special effects. The voice actors are also front-line members. The reviews online are also very good, especially the second line in it——"

"Roar, the overlord soaring in the sky, the explosive blast of destruction!"

"And, and there are existences lingering in death and darkness..."

Suddenly, the designer noticed something was wrong.

After taking a closer look, he found that the eyes of everyone looking at him were a little strange, as if--

The Eight Great Vajras on Mount Weihu looked at Yang Zirong.

"Ahem, but in fact, we have fallen into Liu Wei's trap." The designer changed the topic very wisely, "Why should we pay attention to this anime?"

Why should you pay attention to this anime?

While Zhang Quan was still deep in thought, a voice came from below:
"Because this is his anime to promote his new game!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Quan had a flash of inspiration and seemed to be about to grasp the key point.

The designer continued: "Yes, it's an animation to promote a new game. So here's the point. Is Liu Wei's goal a new game or an animation?"

"From the end of the latest video released by Liu Wei, we can see that Liu Wei wants to make a game in the AR industry, but the question is, is this road easy to take?"

"Everyone in the AR industry knows more or less that due to various reasons, an AR device can only load one game, and the memory is not easy to be too large."

"Judging from the current animation scenes, just loading the model into ar will take up most of the memory. Is there room for the rest of the plot?"

At this time, another person raised an objection:

"What if Liu Wei is not making plot-oriented games, but other types of games?"

The designer smiled contemptuously: "If you don't join the original protagonist group in a comic book adaptation game, will you play it?"

"In other words, don't everyone play comic book games just for the protagonist?"

That’s right, a manga-adapted game is where the player, as a person from another world, personally accompanies the protagonist group to go through the anime again!

Just as Zhang Quan nodded, another person asked a question:

"What if Liu Wei reduces the detail of the model? Wouldn't that allow the plot to be added?"

Everyone looked at the designer again, but the designer smiled softly again:
"You may have forgotten that a large part of the reason why this anime is so popular is the special effects. If the special effects are reduced, do you think players who go for the anime IP will still play it?"

"Aren't there still gamers? Don't forget that Liu Wei also has fans." "Oh? Gamers are the most practical people. If the game is not done well, then the players will not pay the bill."

Everyone was speechless, even Zhang Quan was impressed by the designer's eloquence and analytical skills.

Yes, we were all confused by Liu Wei's smoke bomb.

Being affected by this high-quality animation, my normal judgment ability was affected, but the core element of it was ignored - the game.

If Liu Wei spent [-] million to make ar games, then Fujii would still regard him as a formidable enemy.

But if you spend [-] million to make animation, then you will pay much less attention to it.

It’s not like Fujii has never tried to adapt comics and games, but with little success. Animation and games belong to two different circles.

Just because the anime is good doesn't mean the game is good.

And the most important thing is that Zhang Quan didn't understand the rules of the game from the animation at all.

He can understand some basic rules.

But overall, Zhang Quan couldn't understand it.

What about the blue-eyed white dragon with three thousand attacks in the opening scene?

Defeat the base and your monster is crushed to death by your own floating castle,

There are even outrageous operations that use fire to destroy the terrain and destroy the venue.

This thing doesn't matter in anime, but it seems that the protagonist is very witty.

But in the actual environment, these operations look very retarded.

The game is based on basic logical relationships. The fist is larger than the scissors. There is no such thing as "I am a paper fist, so it can be cut by scissors to ridiculous lengths".

After considering it comprehensively, Zhang Quan discovered it.

There seems to be no need to worry at all...

Liu Wei is just a genius, not a god. How could he make the right decision every time?
……

On the other side, the second floor of the experience store.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Ho ho ho, I got the card I wanted, come out, Blue Eyes White Dragon."

"Blue-eyed White Dragon, the black magician who attacks the enemy."

"Senior, you have no way out, the bursting blast bomb of destruction!!!"

Chen Yaohui said with a proud face while holding a playing card filled with text.

Zeng Meixue and Ling Jingwen looked aggrieved.

Liu Wei was standing aside, watching the actions of several people with interest.

With the popularity of the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" anime, several people in the experience store also fell in love with the anime.

Even these people didn't know where they got blank playing cards and wrote cards that appeared in the anime to entertain themselves.

The result is...

Looking at Chen Yaohui with a proud look on his face, Ling Jingwen angrily threw away the playing cards in her hand and shouted:

"I usually summon my fists and launch a direct attack into the duelist's face."

"Wait a minute, senior sister, you will become a disgrace to duelists like this." Chen Yaohui said quickly.

Ling Jingwen smiled: "Oh? Really? Then I will admit defeat first, and then summon my fist as usual..."

"No, boss, save me!" Chen Yaohui hurriedly asked for help.

Liu Wei smiled and said nothing, folding his hands in his pockets.

I'm sorry, I don't dare either. I'm afraid that my senior sister will get angry and hit me too.
