Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 158 Soul Game
Seeing Wang Ning's originally confused eyes suddenly light up, and then looked at him with admiration.

Liu Wei sighed silently.

It came again, it came again, and I started to think crazy about it again.

Fortunately, Liu Wei adjusted his mentality in time and said: "The next step is a new game project - the soul game."

Everyone felt something was wrong, especially Wang Ning, whose expression was even more shocking:

"Mr. Liu, I am responsible for "Crossing the Storm"."

Wang Ning's meaning is obvious, Mr. Liu, I really can't be responsible for two projects at the same time by myself.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mr. Liu nodded slightly with a smile on his face: "I know, so Chu Yun is in charge of the new project this time."

Wang Ning: "???"

Chu Yun: "!!!"

He probably understood the "soul-based game" that Mr. Liu said. The difficulty is not the point. The point is to make the whole game full of malice, and the style of painting should be depressing, giving people a hope that is close at hand, but they still can't grasp it. of despair.

Everyone: "Huh?"

Everyone nodded again and again.

Simply being too difficult is like "Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West" on the arcade. Only by adding a depressing plot can the theme be sublimated.

"Of course, we are in the 21st century now, and everything must be scientific, so I hope this game explains fantasy in a scientific way."

Chu Yun was flattered and took the tea cup. He didn't drink it, but kept covering the tea cup.

As soon as you enter the game, it's full of malice... but the pictures are beautiful.

Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Let me tell you the key points of the soul game first."

But now that funds are abundant, Liu Wei picked up the plan immediately.

"The so-called Soul series games are extremely difficult to operate, with depressing graphics and desperate background stories. You can understand it this way...Cthulhu games."

And for a thousand Hamlets, there are a thousand Shakespeares.

Players who quote classics are different from ordinary players. For the same historical figure, the Internet is likely to be in a quarrel.

Chu Yun glanced at Mr. Liu resentfully and said nothing.

Although Wang Ning was promoted from the grassroots level, after all, Wang Ning himself is a design programmer, but he is just at the bottom of the industry.

Once the team fails to coordinate the relationship between the two, it is likely to be criticized by players from a publicity perspective.

Although Mr. Liu is eclectic and likes to promote newcomers, is this promotion span too big?

Promoting Chinese culture is a thankless task. It is possible that the team finally managed to unite the front, but in the end the players did not buy it.

But plot and game production are not the same thing at all... This is a cross-industry category.

The difficulty of the Souls series can only be ranked above average in the gaming circle, but it is full of malice.

Chinese culture has a long history and cannot be covered by a small game. Even if you pick any dynasty, you can write a masterpiece with millions of words.

It's very awkward... It's my first time to see it. What should I do if I get even more excited?
"Don't be nervous." Liu Wei consoled him very thoughtfully, "I believe you!"

Although Chu Yun's ability in plot planning is obvious to all, Zhen Xing would say he was awesome when he saw him.

And the most important thing is-difficult!

Imagine...

He even felt like there were several hairy insects crawling all over his body. He felt uncomfortable all over and could not sit still.

Liu Weit has done some research and found that there is no Soul series game in the world, and there is no Miyazaki thief, so he needs to educate employees first.

Chu Yun wanted to refuse, but under Mr. Liu's "I trust you" eyes, he finally didn't say it out loud, and just nodded silently.

Not to mention that the two conditions put forward by Liu Wei are even more heartbreaking.

Wang Ning glanced at Chu Yun, who was playing with his hair, and reminded him in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, Chu Yun is responsible for the next plot of "Crossing the Storm", and may not be able to do all the work."

Chu Yun: "..."

Not to mention the second point, 'Using science to explain fantasy', this is a false proposition.

After more than ten minutes passed, Chu Yun nodded in confusion.

Liu Wei said: "Next, let's talk about the characteristics of this game. I hope that the background story of this game takes place in ancient times and can fully reflect the heritage of Chinese culture."

Liu Bei is a very typical example.

Liu Wei interrupted Chu Yun's words and said firmly: "It's okay, I believe you. This is a brand new game mode, and the plot accounts for 80%!"

Chu Yun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Liu, I still have to write the plot, and there are so many senior seniors in the company..."

And will domestic players accept "scientific fantasy"?
Liu Wei felt that this was completely impossible. After all, Sun Wukong was the Great Sage of Monkey King, and even if he fell in love, he would be called "nonsense". How could he accept such a ridiculous setting?

What's more, the Souls series has extremely high requirements on monster intelligence, difficulty of operation, style of painting, and plot.

……

The expression on Liu Wei's face was even happier.

Letting a team full of sunshine and living a happy life all day long make a suffering game in the Soul series is a sinkhole in itself.

Chu Yun silently lowered his head and looked at the tea cup.

Liu Wei chuckled.

Chu Yun sat in the empty conference room. He had never felt that the conference room was so empty and oppressive.

The two fell into a state of confusion.

Seeing this, Liu Wei clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Chu Yun and Li Chongshan stay here, and the others go first."

"And others will help you, too."

It’s that easy to screw up a Souls series game!
Making a soul-based game is a theme that Liu Wei has long thought about.

"But I have never written this kind of plot." Chu Yun said carefully, "I don't know what it means, hope is so close, but despair that cannot be grasped in the end." "It's okay." Liu Wei patted Chu Yun's hand Shoulder, smiled and said: "Just write your recent experience in the plot."

The starting point of promoting Chinese culture seems good, but in fact it is far beyond the capabilities of this team.

"Drink some tea first." Liu Wei poured a cup of tea for Chu Yun himself.

He understood the feeling instantly.

The reason why Liu Wei didn't make Souls series games before was purely because the initial funds were insufficient, and there was no way to develop a complete 'Souls series' game.

If it can be explained by science, it is not called fantasy; if it cannot be explained by science, it is called fantasy.

It would be fine if they are not greedy, but once the players relax, let down their guard, and rush to grab the knife, they are likely to be killed by the boss, not to mention that the scene is full of malice.

A game that purports to promote ancient Chinese culture, turns out to have slogans like 'Scientific explanation of fantasy' and 'Science fiction blooming'.

The final result is likely to be the creation of a famous meme bible called "Two Blooms of Science Fiction" in the industry.

Now Liu Wei just made a false proposition that was absolutely impossible to realize and threw it directly to Chu Yun, a pink newcomer.

If this can make any good game, Liu Wei will eat this conference table on the spot!
