"No, what the hell is the script?" Jiangle orange gaped at Li Zongzheng and asked again, "are you sure what we are doing is a martial arts game?"

"To be exact, it's Xianxia game! After all, the settings are basically copied from Shushan swordsman. " Li Zong said boldly and calmly.

"No matter what Xia... Don't use the plot," said Liu with a headache. "Even if it's upgrading to boss, you have to give players a reason to become stronger, right?"

"Yes," he said, nodding like a chicken pecking rice. "Even half of me know that the game has to have a main plot, right?"

"Theoretically, there must be... But in fact, there can be no such thing." Looking at the stunned Liu Ye, Li Zongzheng suddenly asked back and said, "to be honest, is there a main line in the legend of Shushan swordsman?"

Liu Ye slightly a Leng, hesitated a moment later said.

"There must be?"

When he said that, he was not sure.

Although I have never had to admit that this is what attracted him.

Nowadays, martial arts, which are popular in China this summer, are basically divided into two categories, leaving aside the subject matter and only talking about the perspective of writing.

Either the protagonist is born in a well-known family and is honest all the way to the end, highlighting an open and aboveboard one with integrity, or the villain of anti routine starts all the way to the end, highlighting a wild and uninhibited one.

It is very rare to write the story of Shushan swordsman in a way close to stream of consciousness. Its story is not a complete closed loop, but a free and divergent one. In theory, any character can unfold the story at any time and any place, just like a game with unlimited branch tasks.

Many people say that Shushan has opened up a new category called Xianxia, but Liu Ye thinks that the reason why this book can really become a classic is not only that! What's more, it depicts a magnificent world!

As for the main line or something

On the contrary, it is the second!

"Should it be the third Emei sword fight?" Liu Ye replied in an uncertain tone.

"Let me ask you again, how much of the whole book is about the third Emei sword fight?" Li Zongzheng continued to ask.

This time, Liu Ye couldn't answer completely. He shook his head and said.

"I didn't count it, and I didn't care much about it..."

"That's the problem!" Li Zongzheng interrupted him, looked at him with bright eyes and continued, "don't you think the story of Shushan swordsman is like a game? People and places can generate almost infinite possibilities... Which is what we call the branch line! "

Jiangle orange looked at Li Zongzheng with fog and water, and asked in a puzzled way.

"What are you trying to say?"

"What I want to say is that like Shushan, we can completely abandon the setting of the main line, or let it become unimportant. It's so light that it can be summed up in one sentence, so light that players hardly notice it in the game!"

Jiang Lecheng still doesn't understand what this guy is talking about. However, Liu Ye, who is standing on one side, has a hint of enlightenment in his eyes and murmurs to himself.

"It's like a sand table..."

"Yes! It's like a sand table! " Li Zongzheng snapped his fingers, looked at them, and continued with high spirits, "in the game, players will not play a role with a specific name, even we can simply give the naming right to the players, and let them decide the name, appearance, character... And even the fate of their life!"

Jiang Lecheng hesitated and asked, "it doesn't sound interesting... Then what?"

Li Zongzheng continued excitedly.

"It's not interesting! Without the constraints of the main task, players are free to choose whether to go up the mountain and close the door to concentrate on cultivation or go down the mountain and wander in the rivers and lakes to fight for justice! You can not only explore the historic cliffs, but also collect the natural materials and local treasures in your pocket. You can also go through the streets and lanes to visit the experts. You will be famous in the middle of the river! Or become a pharmacist, taste all kinds of herbs in the world, practice the panacea! Or it may be that they set up schools to inherit what they have learned all their lives and make other people better off. "

"But what is all this for?" Jiang Lecheng can't help asking, "whether it's setting up a sect or wandering the world or refining elixirs, there must be a reason for players to think it's meaningful to do so."

"Immortals

This time, it was not Mr. Li who answered her.

With two words to end her question sentence, standing on the side of Liu Ye is like a changed person. All the confusion and confusion were swept away from his face, and replaced by a sudden awakening.

"To be in the immortal class!" He clenched his fist and said excitedly, "that's the motivation for players to become stronger!"

"That's right!" Li Zongzheng looked at him excitedly, as if he had found a confidant. "This is the main line of what I call" dispensable "! Sure enough, you know me best! "

Looking at the two people on the radio suddenly, Jiang Lecheng opens his mouth foolishly.

Although I think this idea is a bit of nonsense.

But it's like

A little unexpected?

The thought flashed in my mind for a moment, and Jiang Lecheng felt that he must be crazy!

……

"Change item?"

President's office.

Looking at Li Zongzheng standing at his desk, Hao Yun frowned slightly and said, "it's less than half a month left... Are you sure you still have time to change the project at this time?"

"In time! I promise you Li Zongzheng said with confidence, "the framework of the game has actually been developed. We just cut off some redundant parts."

"The extra part? What's the extra part... "

"The main line of the game!"

Poof!

Hao Yun almost didn't have a sip of tea.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, he coughed.

"Cut off the main line... What do you mean?"

"This is our project plan!" Knowing that he couldn't explain the problem in a few words, Li Zongzheng respectfully handed the documents in his hand to Hao Yun.

After taking over the plan, Hao Yun was attracted by the title of the leading line before he opened it.

Xiuxian simulator?

Good guy, this is not only cutting off the main line, but also the Emei Mountain!

Hao Yun turned it in his hand, but he couldn't give an accurate evaluation for a moment.

A sense of deja vu made him feel that this thing seemed a little familiar, but the vague memory was like a layer of white veil, which prevented him from further exploring.

For a long time.

A familiar and strange word suddenly appeared in his mind.

"This game mode... Should be called sandbox game?" Hao Yun frowned and said.

"Sandbox game?" Li Zongzheng was stunned at first, then his eyes brightened slightly, and immediately said, "yes, that's Sandbox! Boss, what a wonderful name you have

Unlike Lin Jun, he never flatters.

If he said something like flattery, it must be from his heart.

Hao Yun said with a smile.

"Low key, low key, I'm just saying it casually."

It seems that there is no sandbox game in this industry.

Hao Yun vaguely remembers that this kind of sandbox game seemed to be quite popular in his last life?

As for this world, the mainstream of stand-alone games is still RPG and SLG, while the mainstream of RPG is the ARPG classification, that is, action role play, in which the plot and special effects expressiveness are online.

After all, the world's video game industry started very high, almost following those cutting-edge electronic technology to fly into the homes of ordinary people after the first year of the new calendar.

What is the best game to show the performance of a computer?

That's definitely ARPG!

Sandbox game has not been developed in this world. The mainstream design idea seems to be to rack one's brains to tie the player to the main task. It seems that only in this way can the player not have nothing to do.

But to tell you the truth, Hao Yun doesn't think this is what the game should look like.

Regardless of the main task, it's interesting to explore the vast game world. The design idea of plot and special effects as selling points is very popular in this era, but in Hao Yun's eyes, it is actually a little outdated.

"I think the plan is well written," Hao Yun nodded, and gave the plan back to Li Zongzheng, giving a recognized evaluation. "At least in my opinion, this play must be more interesting than the previous" Legend of Emei swordsman. "

Seeing that his idea was affirmed by his boss, Li Zongzheng's face was filled with excitement.

"All right! I'll go on with this new plan! "

"Well, go ahead."

Hao Yun nodded with a smile and watched Li Zongzheng leave his office.

Just as he was about to continue to brush the PPT of courseware on the computer, a light blue dialog box suddenly popped up in front of him.

[task: win the gold keyboard competition]

[content: participate in the "golden keyboard" independent game design Grand Prix of Shanghai game exhibition, and win the "golden keyboard" which symbolizes the champion status in the competition!]

See this line of light blue dialog, sitting in the office chair Hao Yun slightly lengxia.

what the fuck?

Why trigger the mission again?
