Almighty Game Designer

After creating the new document, Chan wrote down the title of the new document.

Concept draft of the design of "The Herald of Wulin".

In Chen's previous life, there were many classic martial arts games. The Herald of the Martial Arts may not be the best made, but it is the most innovative, quite unlike those martial arts games that wear martial arts skin but are actually western fantasy RPG games.

Of course, "The Herald of the Martial Arts" is not too famous, but the previous book "The Herald of the Golden Janes" is famous.

In Jinyuan Herald, the protagonist travels to a world of 14 Jinyuan novels, in which the protagonist constantly interacts with the characters in Jinyuan novels, collects objects, learns martial arts, recruits warriors, finally completes 14 main line tasks, collects 14 heavenly books, and eventually returns to the real world.

This game was still a thrill at the time, because players were free to practise martial arts in Jinyuan novels in the game, recruit Zhan Yu, Yang Chao and other warriors to fight alongside themselves, and complete the drama related to the original works.

In addition, a good and evil value system is introduced in the Golden Jane Herald. When players make different choices, the good and evil values change accordingly.

When the final protagonist gathers fourteen heavenly books, if the protagonist's good and evil value is higher, then the top ten evil masters of Jianghu will come to surround the protagonist; if the protagonist's good and evil value is lower, then the top ten decent masters of Jianghu will come to surround the protagonist.

In the final battle, the protagonists must defeat the top 10 players alone in order to pass through, which also gives the players great pleasure.

There are no Jinyang novels in parallel worlds, and the play of Jinyang Herald is not as rich as that of Wulin Herald, and the art level is difficult to match the aesthetics of the players of this era.

Thinking about it all together, the production of "The Herald of the Wu Lin People" is more in line with Chen Jiao's current requirements.

The content of the Jinyuan novel in "The Herald of the Martial Arts" is already minimal. Although it is the legend of "The Herald of the Jinyuan Arts", the Martial Arts Gate, characters and martial arts are basically self-contained, and the world's players understand that there are basically no obstacles.

At the art level, although "The Herald of Wulin" is an old game, in 2015, the original paintings, models, etc. of the characters were reformulated (renamed "The Herald of the Warrior" after reproduction). Chen Yu's current art standards are also very high. After beautification, this art standard can fully meet the needs of the players of this era.

Chen Jiao felt that the name "The Herald of Wulin" was more in line with the content of this game, so he did not use the name "The Herald of the Warrior".

Of course, most importantly, the play and plot in "The Herald of the Martial Arts" are very suitable for the needs of Chen strangers. In particular, the play and self-made system can be said to be unique in all the Martial Arts games.

There is also a story about the reproduction of this game.

Originally published in 2001, Though this is a well-regarded game, it has not become a classic of the same level as the Legend of the Wonder Sword and the Xuan Sword.

In addition to the reasons for the relative subtlety of the martial arts theme, the excessive difficulty of getting started, the unbalanced combat system and the less complete dramatic branch have also become subtractions.

These are, of course, mainly financial constraints.

Ultimately, in the general environment of piracy, the Hero studio was once disbanded, and the original member studio Oriental Arithmetic failed to launch any more classic works, quickly disappearing into darkness like a spark.

In 2006, a post was posted at a poster bar passed down by the Wu Lin people: "Is Oriental Computing still here? ”

The players replied, "It's been a while since I've seen them play a new game. It's not breaking up. It would be a shame if it broke up. ”

In 2009, the gravestone was topped by a reply from Xu Changlong, the author of Hero Studios and the producer of "The Herald of the Martial Arts".

“Oriental arithmetic stopped working three years ago, but everyone was still in the game world, and the core elements were in a gaming company. As long as we're still here, we'll have the opportunity to create better works. ”

He was also surprised by Xu Changlong.

Throughout the years, he, like many gamers, abandoned single-machine games in the tide, redirected to the embrace of online gaming, doing things he didn't like, and even questioned the future.

Until by chance, he came to the Wulin Herald poster and found so many people posting to discuss the game.

He didn't think of the 2001 game, and by 2009 there were so many people playing it, missing it.

It is also for this reason that Xu Changlong, with the support of many internet friends, came up with the idea of restructuring "The Herald of the Wulin Masters", which culminated in the launch of "The Herald of the Warrior Feng Yun" in 2015, and achieved a good result of cumulative sales of 400,000 in January 2016.

……

As in the production of Warcraft Competition, Chen Jiayu first wrote the concept draft, briefly described the general contents of the game, and then divided the work between Su Jinyu and the three of them.

This time, Chen Jiao doesn't need to improve his abilities anymore, because this game is actually not difficult to do. Chen Jiao has even made such a level of work as "Warcraft Competition". There is absolutely nothing wrong with the technical level of "The Herald of the Martial Arts".

All you need to do is clear all the complex setups and plot branches of the original, and then maximize the classic content of the original.

Soon after, the concept draft of "The Herald of Wulin" was written.

In fact, the overall game content of this game is divided into two types: big map exploration and in-door cultivation.

The main character's career is divided into three parts, beginning with Jianghu (big map exploration), Baisha Arts (cultivation within the Gate), and entering Jianghu to save Wulin Havoc (big map exploration).

The Wulin Herald is well received because it inserts a cultivation model into the regular map exploration mode, and the players find that the cultivation model fits perfectly with the content of the Warrior, so it is very welcome.

Of course, to reproduce the specific details, it is necessary to remember the dispensing water, but as before, Chen Jiao will only give some key foundation settings, the specific plot, numerical value, original painting, etc. are all left to the three assistants.

After writing the concept draft, Chen Qiao came to meet with Su Jianyu, Zheng Hongxi and Qian Qian.

“I was going to take a little more time off, but the plan didn't catch up. This is the concept draft for the next game. Let's take a look. ”

Chen Qiao said, distribute the concept draft of "The Herald of Wulin" to three people.

Qian Qian was somewhat disappointed: “Well, it's not a game of pit money...”

Zheng Hongxi was quite interested: "Hmm? The plot is very rich in terms of setup, and this time it's a martial arts theme, Chinese style. ”

Su Jinyu was somewhat confused: “Shop manager, didn't you say that the martial arts theme is not easy to do? This game feels like too many places to innovate. Would it be a bit risky? ”

"You don't have to worry about this," said Chen Qiao. "Get familiar with the whole game first. In two days, I'll give you the concept diagrams of each character and scene, goldfish, and this time you'll be in charge of all the art resources. ”

“Hiroshi, your side is mainly dramatic. This time the drama is mainly about martial arts. There is also a lot of traditional cultural knowledge, including chess books and drawings, etc. In this regard, it must be easy to prepare some information, not too shallow, not too deep. ”

“Qian Yu, you are still mainly responsible for battle system and numerical planning. This time the requirements of balance are not as strict as" Warcraft Competition ". There are a few martial arts that must be done especially strong, and the acquisition difficulty is also very high. I will tell you more about this later. ”

“Okay, that's about it. Take it back and take a good look at the final form of the game, and make some preparations. ”

After Chen Jiao's account was finished, the three men prepared to go.

As for Chan Myself, it is time to start using Memory Drain to recall some of the key scenarios and classic settings of this game.
