Restart the Gaming Era

As for the concept map of the protagonist, there is also.

The protagonist's clothing is relatively simple, and the color is relatively monotonous, mainly in dark yellow. There are many decorations like animal bones and teeth. On the whole, it is the costume style of the ancient China.

In simple terms, some are like the maskless version of Yun Yun in "Gu Jian Qi Tan 3". As for weapons, of course, they are also swords.

The protagonist's name locates "Xinglang", from the poem of Xie Lingyun in the Southern Song "Yafa Shiguanting": "Birds return to the boat, and Xinglan is on the line."

The meaning is: the night is coming to an end and the sky is bright.

The name, in a way, has something to do with the background of the story.

However, after watching the Guardian and watching the protagonist, everyone has a question.

This ... how to fight? ?

The guardians, just looking at their heads, are basically about the size of a small hill. Take the dragon I have seen before, the protagonist's head is not as good as one of its paws.

Moreover, the dragon can still enter the water and fly ...

Jia Jia raised his hand and asked, "Are these pedicures also played by pedicure? Or do you want to use bows and arrows to shoot their weak points to cause damage?"

Zhong Zhongming shook his head: "The setting of no pedicure, pedicure is actually not scientific, and it cannot be distinguished from most similar games on the market."

The so-called pedicure is that when the player controls the character to fight against a giant with a very tall body, the weapon in his hand can only hit the foot surface of the monster. Repeatedly attacking the monster's foot surface to empty the blood strip and kill the monster. It was nicknamed "pedicure" by players.

At present, most of the battles on the market use a similar mode, or the plot killing of QTE.

The so-called QTE is to automatically trigger the battle animation under certain circumstances. The player only needs to press a few corresponding buttons to trigger the QTE, and the character will automatically jump to the boss's head for output, making the battle scene more beautiful, no longer focused on Monster's lower body.

And the similar "pedicure" play is actually not scientific in strict sense, because the foot can be said to be one of the least core parts. Even a person is stabbed with dozens of blood holes on the foot by a small awl. I just can't walk, I won't die directly because the blood strip is empty.

那么 And such a huge monster, even many monsters still wear armor on their feet, but because of the player's crazy pedicure directly died, this approach is obviously a bit problematic.

But the point is, how can you fight without pedicure?

Qi Zhongming turned to a brief introduction to the game's combat system.

"The core meaning of this game's combat system is 'fighting with giant enemies.' It is no longer a pedicure or shooting a monster with a bow and arrow. Instead, the protagonist needs to climb on the monster to find the weak points on the monster. . "

"Take a cow as an example. The body of this behemoth is very tough where the player can see it. Basically, it can't cause any considerable damage with a sword or a bow and arrow. The armor's position is basically completely immune to physical attacks. In this case, it is impossible for the player to kill the monster using normal play. "

"What the player needs to do is first search for the position of the giant on horseback, and then climb to the colossus with some specific means, and then use the sword in his hand to attack the specific weak point. There are two weak points of the bull and beast. These are the position between the back waist and the tail, and the head. Repeated attacks on the two parts can defeat the colossus. "

"The difficulty of fighting is no longer to avoid the enemy ’s attack by reaction, or that is only a small part of the battle. After dodging the enemy ’s attack, the players’ difficulty in fighting is: how to climb on the beast, how Grasp the monster without being thrown off, how to restore physical strength on the monster, how to reach from one weak point to another weak point. That is to say, climbing and fighting are an inseparable whole. "

"The key attribute of the player is the physical strength slot in addition to the health value. Whether the player climbs or grasps firmly to prevent being thrown off, he needs to consume physical energy. How to properly allocate physical energy, save physical energy, and restore physical energy is combat energy. The key to winning is of course. Of course, some difficult jumping and climbing are also the part that players need to practice repeatedly. "

Wu Zhongming gave a brief account of the game's combat system. Everyone listened, and they all felt bright.

Very novel!

Before, there seems to be no similar game to design boss battles in this way!

Although technically it will be a challenge, considering the forward-looking and superiority of this approach, this risk is definitely worth it!

好 "Well, if there is no problem, everyone will have a meeting. There are three ready-made beasts from the art group. More detailed design concept drafts and more original drawing concept drawings will be available soon."

Wu Zhongming simply assigned a task, and then everyone in the low-light studio immediately put into a tense state of work.

The program is the most urgent because Dahui, Zhou Sen, and a few others have to seize the time to set up the underlying framework of the game. This time, instead of using a 2D engine and changing the 3D engine, many things must be started from scratch. . Fortunately, I have already recruited programs that are proficient in 3D engines, and Dahui Brother and Zhou Sen are also good at 3D engines, so there should not be too many problems in progress.

After that, I need to prepare a lot of art resources, including scenes, monsters, and so on. All of them need to give concept maps first, and then 3D modeling, which is not a small project.

Moreover, we must first make a demo for Moya Technology, and show Lin Xiaoguang the game effect, otherwise it is very difficult to sign a contract with just one mouth flickering.

Uh ...

Wu set the development plan, and Zhong Ming called Lin Xiaoguang.

"Hey, Mr. Lin. On our side, the development plan has been set, and it will take a little longer than I expected. It will take about one and a half months, plus the time for testing and tuning. It may take 2 months. In the past, it should be difficult to shorten any more, this is already the theoretical fastest speed. "Zhong Ming said.

Before, he himself couldn't tell the development time of "Zodiac Guardian", after all, he was not a program. I came back to tell you about the content of the game, and then comprehensively evaluated the work progress of the art and program, and finally determined the development time.

Wu Zhongming also said, "As for the demo, try to give it to you before next weekend. By then, you should be able to experience 1 or 2 full boss battles."

& Nbo, you can sign the right bet agreement. However, the development time did not catch up. Lin Xiaoguang felt a little sorry.

In fact, he didn't have much expectation for time ~ www.readwn.com ~ Although the world's technology is developed and the speed of developing games is fast, that is the pure development time after the design is all finalized.

The advancement of technology can greatly shorten the time for making the program, but the game itself's gameplay design, concept map, etc., still need the designer to think slowly, this stuff can't be faster.

If Zhong Ming intends to make a relatively simple game that can be done in a month, then Lin Xiaoguang can consider waiting for a while and dragging it for another month. But now Zhongming's game takes 2 months to complete, if it really drags on until then, it will be a bit wrong.

What's more, Lin Xiaoguang didn't originally hold Bao all on Weiguang Studio. They had already planned the first batch of exclusive **** games. The two-month period was a little too long and could not hold up.

Zhong Ming nodded: "It doesn't matter, General Lin, your handheld is still on sale according to the original plan. After the game on our side is completed, your handheld will be the same after it is online."
