Live Action Opens Up and Gets Blocked, Backhandedly Rectifying the Gaming Industry

Wang Zhicheng is indeed a bit old, but his ability to accept new things is not bad.

And with many years of game production experience, it may be too reluctant to let him be responsible for the design of the open world.

But there is no problem in designing two-player mini-games and some retro game elements to make it interesting.

It can be said that these are the parts he is best at.

This also made the burden on Du Rui's shoulders, which was so busy that he was dizzy, lighter.

In early October, the Ada DLC of "Resident Evil 4" was officially released, and the series came to an end for the time being.

In mid-October, the first trailer of "Two for Two" was released, officially announcing the existence of this new game to players.

Everyone is saying that "Doomsday" destroyed the trust between players and manufacturers.

But this statement seems to be invalid in front of Naughty Cat.

Although the publicity brought little enthusiasm on the Internet, it did not trigger the explosive discussions that had occurred many times before.

It can't be compared with the generous movie-style announcements such as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "Resident Evil".

But surprisingly, the pre-sale data is not bad, and is quite good.

After seeing this promotional video, many players did not even look at the game name carefully and did not understand the game type.

Place your order and pay directly.

Then quietly wait for the release.

After understanding the game type, after pre-ordering, I started to make preparations to find teammates in advance.

As the release date approaches, many people within Naughty Cat have become accustomed to it because they have blind confidence in Lin Mo.

Game crashed?

How can it be!

Even if he goes bankrupt, he is not afraid. His financial situation is so good that it will explode.

Both CSGO and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are receiving a steady stream of blood transfusions.

Didn’t you see that Mr. Lin has invested in countless technology companies?

The time has come before the release.

Naughty Cat’s lunch breaks do not prohibit employees’ activities.

If you want to sleep, the company provides you with an ergonomic chair, which you can sleep on as long as you lay it flat.

If you want to have fun, there are tables in the tea room where you can play cards, but you can't gamble.

If you want to play games, there are many people playing football games in the recreation room every day.

Wang Zhicheng was sitting at his desk while talking on the phone.

On the screen is a game called "Dark Cage". The game has failed and is waiting for the player to click to restart.

"Dad, I told you that the games you want to play are too old. Why can't you let go of your obsession with winning awards? Do you have to get some honors before you can rest? Take care of your health!"

"This time I really have a chance. Although the best of the year is unlikely, small awards are very possible. This time I did not pull the team alone, I joined."

"No matter who joins, how can you win prizes in that old game?"

"I joined."

"Dad, to be honest, it's time for you to change your thinking. I think it's time for the game to return to the classic design that, although difficult, is enough to arouse players' sense of accomplishment."

"I agree, but..."

"Okay, Dad, stop talking. It's already midnight here, and I have to go to work early tomorrow. Goodbye, take care of yourself! I bought some medicine and sent it back to you. Remember to take it."

With that said, the phone hung up.

Wang Zhicheng sighed with a depressed look.

"Why, did you quarrel with your daughter?"

scare!

Wang Zhicheng turned around quickly and said hello awkwardly: "Mr. Lin, um, there was no quarrel. My daughter is too impatient, but she never quarrels with me. Um, I..."

Lin Mo waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care if he played games in the company, as long as it didn't affect his work.

He took a closer look at the game on the screen and asked with some surprise: "Is this "Cage of Darkness" released in December last year? Lao Wang, do you still like to play this kind of game?"

"How can I not like my daughter's work as the chief designer?" Wang Zhicheng had a hint of pride on his face, and then asked with hope, "Mr. Lin, do you think my daughter's design ideas are going astray?" Is there a chance to win the best award of the year?"

Lin Mo said without hesitation: "There is something wrong, the chance is not great."

There are some problems with the design of "Cage of Darkness".

Although Wang Yi, Lao Wang's daughter, is indeed very talented, she has not yet broken out of her shackles.

Most of the games in this world have strong guidance and are mainly lightweight.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​​​relying on game difficulty to stimulate players' sense of accomplishment, but a key part of it is that players cannot be taught how to play the game.

I have to make the players feel that I have become better through research, death and practice skills, and defeated powerful enemies.

Rather than like "The Dark Cage".

Rely on guidance to tell the player that you get this weapon here, go to the elite monster to practice certain skills, and then come to the BOSS to get familiar with it. After spending an hour or two, the BOSS is passed.

The whole thing is more like a linear game flow with some forks.

The reason why I know this so well is because Lin Mo also likes this game, and it is a game that is rare to clear.

Although there are many shortcomings, it is a great attempt and a first step.

It’s not that there are no geniuses in this world, but the long-standing shortcomings of the general environment have prevented these geniuses from being put to use.

Even in Lin Mo's previous life, no one believed that the battle royale mode would become an evergreen game type in the industry after Brandon Green made the battle royale MOD for "Armed Assault."

Until the advent of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

After "Demon's Souls" came out, no one believed that "Souls" games would become a separate game category and spread.

"Hey, what a pity." Wang Zhicheng smiled bitterly.

Lin Mo asked with a smile: "Do you trust my judgment so much?"

"Mr. Lin, your design concept is recognized by the industry as trendy and perfect. Which game has not written the history of games? Oh, except "Digging for Ascension"."

"I heard you guys were on the phone just now. Wang Yi still doesn't know about you joining Naughty Cat? Does she have any thoughts about returning to China to work?"

Wang Zhicheng's heart moved, and his smiling eyes shrank into slits.

"Mr. Lin, although my daughter is a bit impatient, she has a cheerful personality and never cares about anything. She also has a good figure and appearance. You..."

Lin Mo rolled his eyes and turned away.

I am very talented and lack a deputy with similar design concepts.

It’s not like I’m looking for a girlfriend!

Are you so afraid that your daughter won’t be able to get married that you have to sell her to your boss?

"Hey, Mr. Lin, why don't you send me a message to learn more about it? Can you discuss the concept of game design? My daughter is not old, okay, a little older, but she looks good, and she is also a fan of yours, Mr. Lin. ?Mr. Lin?"

Lin Mo returned to the office with a dark face.

Why can’t I live peacefully even after traveling through time?

On the screen of the office computer is the plan of the two people.

In the change history list column, it is written densely.

During this period, Lin Mo also made a lot of optimizations to the game based on the characteristics of this world.

Many explorable elements and real-life mini-games that were once popular among children have been added.

The storyline has been fine-tuned.

Naughty Cat’s employees are all young, and many of them are married.

Even according to the detailed planning, different people will make different games.

Chinese gamers will subconsciously bring Chinese thinking and concepts into the game.

At this time, it is inevitable and uncontrollable.

This change will be reflected in every detail in the game.

The production of the game is progressing very quickly.

The days are getting closer and closer to the release date.
