Restart the Gaming Era

After Zhong Ming's Weibo was posted, the art team and design team were all busy.

The art team needs to immediately build the previously cut Feiyan Tower model, while the design team needs to re-plan the entire map. The key is that a lot of changes need to be made in the trial play and initial novice guide.

Although these changes are mainly to modify the configuration table and the initial boot process, there is still a certain amount of work.

All I can say is that if the boss talks, the employees will lose their legs!

However, Zhong Ming is well aware of the workload and can complete it within the originally planned time. One Feiyan Tower was forced into the development plan, and one or two less important buildings in the original plan were cut off.

Anyway, there are so many ancient buildings to be done, and subsequent expansion packs and updated content will have to be added slowly. It doesn’t make much difference which one is done first and which one is done later.

At the same time, the promotional CG for "Extreme Speed" is also in production.

The promotional CG for this kind of game is relatively much easier to do. All you need to do is use the high-definition materials in the game for real-time calculations. Anyway, racing games don’t need to show too much plot content. Cut out various scenes and show them well. Scenery pictures, coupled with some dynamic music, can perfectly set off the atmosphere of the game.

…

Zhong Ming's Weibo has attracted a lot of attention among the player community.

On the one hand, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment stated that it would donate 5 million to repair the Feiyan Tower, which caused a wave of goodwill; on the other hand, Zhong Ming also revealed that the new game will be related to the Feiyan Tower, and this ancient building will be used as an in-game character. One of the materials, this has also caused many people to speculate on what kind of game it will be.

After thinking about it for a long time, there are actually two most possible game types, one is an RPG game with ancient themes, and the other is a racing game about watching the scenery.

The possibility of an ancient-themed RPG stand-alone game is actually not high, because although Feiyan Tower is one of the top ten famous towers in China, there is actually not much background story about it. It is famous only because it is It has been rebuilt, and a modern calligraphy master has written the "Feiyan Stele Calligraphy", which can be used as background story content in the game, but there is basically no content.

What's more, there are so many ancient buildings that can be used to draw materials. How could Zhong Ming know beforehand that the Feiyan Tower was going to catch fire and still do it in the game in advance?

Therefore, most people are guessing that it is probably Zhong Ming who built many ancient buildings in the new game, including the Feiyan Tower. The release of the new games Feiyan Tower Fire and Zhong Ming just happened to come together.

Then Zhong Ming’s new game is about to be released. If you can build so many ancient buildings in the game, it will probably be a scenery-viewing game, and it will most likely be a racing game.

After all, the main advantage of most racing games is all kinds of beautiful scenery, and ancient buildings are also an important part of the scenery.

A week later, a special area for new games from Weiguang Studio was officially opened on the Weiguang game platform, and a promotional video for the new game was also updated.

The name of the game is "Extreme Speed"!

The updated promotional video in the special area is not too long, only more than three minutes, and does not contain any plot content. It is all real scenes in the game, and the whole process is racing.

At the beginning of the promotional video, there is a green field, the breeze is blowing, the green grass and wild flowers are swaying gently, a luxury speed car flies past from above, the strong wind pressure makes the green grass on the ground fall down, and then Stand up quickly.

The camera switches to show various luxury speed cars flying through the sky. They are chasing each other and do not want to give in.

These speeding cars come in different shapes and colors, but without exception, they all look expensive.

The speeding car passed through various scenic spots, including spring fields, lush jungles, barren deserts, rolling snow-capped mountains, and rushing waterfalls... all kinds of beautiful natural scenery, Being seen in full view.

Then, these flying cars flew towards the distant city.

The camera quickly zoomed up, and it could be seen from a high place that the place where these speeding cars were located was a huge island with several different urban areas scattered on the island. These flying cars first came to the urban area in the eastern part of the island. There is a classical Chinese garden building on the roof of the tallest skyscraper, and on the side of the building are written a few large characters: "Welcome to the Lijiang River!"

The speeding car travels through the city. This is a magical Chinese city. It has many Chinese classical elements such as gardens and dragon-shaped airships, as well as a large number of skyscrapers and modern buildings. The two styles are well combined. Together.

The speeding car continued to fly forward, leaving Lijiang City in the north. After losing the cover of the skyscrapers, a tall tower suddenly appeared in front of it. The nine-story tower has a square pavilion-like structure, and there are many flying swallow sculptures on the tower.

Although Feiyan Tower is far from comparable in height to modern skyscrapers, it is still very eye-catching because it is located in the suburbs outside Lijiang City and there are no tall buildings around it. In this promotional video, Feiyan Tower is still very eye-catching. A close-up of the tower is very scene-stealing.

Soon, the speeding car came to a western city. This is also a modern city like Lijiang, but there are a lot of Western classical architectural elements in the architectural style. There is a large amusement park in the center of the city, complete with buildings such as the Scary Castle, a roller coaster, and a Ferris wheel. The speeding car passes through the roller coaster's path, and the screams of the roller coaster tourists can be heard.

Just after passing the amusement park, sirens rang behind several flying cars. Police cars were dispatched from the city one after another and began to arrest these flying cars.

The background melody suddenly became tense. Amidst the sound of sirens, several flying cars activated their weapon systems. Their sides, roofs, trunks, etc. opened one after another, revealing various weapons, including automatic machine guns, magnetic energy cannons, and smoke. Wait, the two sides started a melee!

Some police cars were hit by weapons and staggered to the ground, withdrawing from the chase; while some speeding cars were also stopped and were stopped by police cars and unable to move.

Finally, several leading speed cars quickly crossed the key line. The camera turned and the game's title and logo appeared on the screen.

"Extreme Speed", Shimmer Studio!

…

This promotional video completely discredited Shimmer Studio's new game: a racing game called "Extreme Speed"!

But for many players who have been looking forward to Shimmer Studio's new game, this new game has left them somewhat unsatisfied.

It’s not that they think the quality of the game is bad, it’s just that they don’t like this game type.

"…After waiting for a long time, it turned out to be a racing game?"

"Hasn't anyone guessed before that if Feiyan Tower is incorporated into the game, in addition to ancient-themed RPGs, it can only be a racing game?"

"When the Feiyan Tower appeared in the video, I was really shocked. The degree of restoration was so high! However, why does it feel a little different from the real Feiyan Tower?"

"It seems that it really didn't do a good job, but... after all, it's just a game company. It can't be as thorough as many architects and archaeologists. It's understandable."

"It's boring. There are so many racing games. There is no need for Shimmer Studio to make another one."

"I think so. With such good material, I thought it was going to be made into an open world game like "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2"!"

"I'm not particularly interested in racing games. Besides, this kind of game is more suitable for playing in a simulator, right? I wonder which driving simulator the company wants to cooperate with?"

"Simulator? Excuse me, I can't afford it."

"I heard it was a driving simulator, so I didn't ask about the price. It must be very disturbing. I can only play it on the computer."

"But playing on the computer and playing on the emulator are completely two different experiences!"

“It feels like it’s difficult to create something new in this kind of game. How could Shimmer Studio make such a game with nothing new?”

"What's new...it seems to be there. I remember that all speeding cars can be shot?"

"What kind of novelty is it? Just shoot a gun while driving a car and call it innovation? Just don't do it in a nondescript way!"

Many players still have certain prejudices against racing games. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with this game type itself. The key is that it’s a bit poorly made!

There are many driving simulators in the parallel world, and there are also many supporting racing games.

As for the racing game itself, it is actually difficult to create anything new. An excellent racing game actually only needs to achieve two things: beautiful scenery and a good driving feeling. As long as these two points are done well, this racing game can be called excellent.

On the other hand, on the basis of doing these two things well, there is actually not much room for improvement.

Plot? Various special derivative gameplays? Different racing modes? Of course it can be done, but the results are often not very obvious.

Many racing games have tried to add some more complex plots, but the final results were very poor, which is a thankless situation.

For many players, is it a bit lacking in room for performance when Zhong Ming and Shimmer Studio choose to produce this kind of game?

…

Guanghua City, Airport.

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Lin, please come this way." The greeting staff took the suitcases from Zhong Ming and Lin Xiaoguang and put them in the flying car.

"Extreme Speed", like other racing games, also sells expansion packs, including vehicle expansion packs, additional content, etc. The main body of the game only sells for 98.
