Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 121 AR Equipment of "Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Time passes day by day.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, since Liu Wei released the promotional video last time, no news has come out.

If "Yu-Gi-Oh" wasn't still being steadily updated, I'm afraid everyone would think that what happened before was an illusion.

Different from the anxious mentality of the gaming party, the animation party looks forward to it every day.

Because the update speed of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is really too fast, compared to the speed of other new episodes every week.

"Yu-Gi-Oh"'s two-day episode speed directly attracted most people's attention.

Many viewers who originally didn't like watching passionate battles started watching this anime because of the super-fast update speed.

Then, once I saw it, I couldn’t stop at all.

This suspenseful battle style, where the winner cannot be decided until the last moment, directly fills the audience's expectations.

Every time, the audience will be immersed in the plot of how Atum used to solve the opponent.

But when it comes to other major game manufacturers, it becomes a different situation.

Different from the anxiety of the gaming party and the expectations of the anime party, other game designers are now busy analyzing every day.

Because every time Liu Wei releases a new game, it will trigger a trend in the industry.

As long as you follow Liu Wei and copy... learn from it, you will definitely make money.

But this time, other game manufacturers were surprised to find that Liu Wei had made a fatal mistake.

Before making the game, I first made the promotional animation.

As a result, major designers began to brainstorm, trying to figure out what game mode Liu Wei was going to make.

Especially some designers who have already interacted with each other will communicate in the group every once in a while.

"The latest episode of the anime is out again. What type do you think the new game is?"

"It must be a card type. Their main thing is playing cards!"

"The question is, what is his gameplay? I found someone to practice it, but it's impossible to play it according to the rules in the anime."

"That's right, I can't analyze anything based on the existing anime plot. At first, I thought it was a traditional card drawing game. The more money you spend, the more powerful high-star cards you can get. After all, in the anime, Kaiba is the one who gets the blue eye. Bai Long used it directly, but who would have thought that this person would change the rules later!!!"

"Me too, I'm really screwed. I actually tried to read the book and set it up (i.e. abandon the original settings and make a new one), which made all my guesses wrong!"

"Even if he eats books repeatedly, Liu Wei is not afraid of arousing the audience's anger."

"Don't mention it, the audience just likes it, Mud. If you read it once a season, all the conjectures you put in so much effort will be wasted."

"I even suspect that this is a smoke bomb deliberately released by Liu Wei. After all, the early animation plot is so wild and unconstrained, it is very logical, but there are no rules."

"Don't doubt it, it must be the case. In the early stage, the Blue Eyes White Dragon was drawn and summoned directly. Now it requires two sacrifices and at least three rounds to be released. I would say that the previous gameplay was abnormal, but now it is much more reasonable."

"And various new settings have been added... Damn it, why didn't I realize this kid was so sinister before?"

"Then...should we still copy it?"

"Copy, why not speculate, but let's copy in another way."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's not worry about what kind of game Liu Wei wants to play. Let's just make a regular card-drawing card game, and then cartoonize the characters in "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and cheat a lot of money."

"Can this work?"

"Why doesn't it work? This is what players do. Last time I got a Japanese IP license and I could earn 10,000+ every month. Why didn't I think of this way of cheating Krypton before? Liu Wei is simply the ancestor of cheating Krypton." Master!"

"I'm not saying whether players accept it or not, I mean, will Liu Wei sue us? Everyone knows what kind of virtue Liu Wei is." The group fell into silence.

After a long time, a message lit up:
"Come on, we are all originals, we just borrowed a little bit from the image. Liu Wei will definitely not be successful. It is impossible for every standing and walking mouse Disney can sue."

After everyone thought about it, it seemed right.

The settings for plagiarism and infringement are very lenient at home and abroad.

Generally speaking, as long as it is not an obvious plagiarism and is simply similar in image but different in style, it is difficult to determine it as plagiarism.

For example, he has black hair with bangs, red eyes, a cold personality, and likes to wear white court clothes... Who do you think of?

Therefore, when faced with this situation, players basically resist themselves, because suing cannot win.

……

Another month passed.

Liu Wei looked at the brand new AR device in front of him and asked:

"Is this a brand new device for Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Chen Hao nodded, picked up the equipment and introduced it excitedly:
"This device is a masterpiece."

"First of all, I redid the shape of the earphones that were connected to the power supply of the previous ar device host."

As he spoke, Chen Hao turned over the 'disc' that was the size of a small rubber ball.

The shape of the front is simple and elegant, and in the middle is the 'Eye of Truth' that symbolizes observing everything.

On the back is a strap device similar to a wrist strap, which can be freely adjusted according to the size of the wrist.

"Compared to other mobile phone-sized AR devices, our device is large, but at the same time, due to the larger size, both battery life and memory operation are 70% higher than other devices."

"And..." Chen Hao pressed the Eye of Truth in the middle, and a chess and card board popped up from above instantly, with more than a dozen card slots on it.

"Because of your investment, Brother Liu, we have used brand-new lightweight materials, and the total weight is only equivalent to the weight of three mobile phones."

Liu Wei nodded and asked another question:
"What about the battle?"

Chen Hao smiled softly and said: "The dashboard comes with two combat styles, one is real card combat."

Chen Hao took out a playing card-sized "Yu-Gi-Oh" real card and placed it on the card slot.

Then, no matter how Chen Hao turned the dashboard, the real card was firmly attached to the dashboard without any trace of movement.

"We added a small amount of iron filings inside without affecting the weight and volume of the physical card."

"During the real card battle, there will be a weak current on the instrument panel, which will absorb the real card through electromagnetic induction to ensure that the real card will not move."

"When the physical card is destroyed, the current at that location will weaken, ensuring that players can freely take the physical card."

Chen Hao flipped the switch lightly again, and the physical card fell off instantly.

"Of course, physical cards are not suitable for all venues for various reasons, so we have added the option of virtual battles."

"The code of each real card is unique. Players can upload data through real card entry and directly engage in virtual battles."

"Of course, if the system detects that two machines have real cards with the same code at the same time, the latest one will be used as the criterion, and the right to use the previous machine will be blocked. The battle mode can only be unlocked through the physical card."

"When the physical card is used to unlock the usage rights, the other ununlocked machine usage rights will be banned for 5 minutes, three hours, 24h, one month, one year, and permanent penalties."

“This is to prevent some people from trying to take advantage of us through a card!”
