The first day after the new year's Day holiday.

Li Zongzheng came to the company and started his daily work.

"Xuanyuan sword trace of heaven" project has entered the preliminary planning stage, and this stage in the whole development work can be said to be the most important.

This includes setting the core game playing method, system function design, script, numerical value, copywriting, execution and so on. To put it bluntly, it is to discuss the problems that may be encountered in the process of developing the game, and finally write them on paper and assign them to various departments for execution.

As a professional game designer, Li Zongzheng knows the importance of this work.

Only when all the architectures of a game are written on paper, can the whole development team move in a coordinated and orderly manner, instead of setting up an item with enthusiasm, just like the abandoned "Legend of Emei swordsman" originally developed, and finally finding out that the problem lies in the script, The result is that the whole game interview is not the same game as the original project plan.

Although the nirvana rebirth of the "Xiuxian Simulator" unexpected success, but Li Zongzheng does not want to let his every success have to rely on the accident to complete.

So this time, he summed up the experience of the last time. From the project to now, he has held more than ten meetings. Basically, he has exchanged opinions with the professionals in the team about the possible problems or suspected problems.

However, let Li Zongzheng some tangle is, this game in the end what kind of make.

yes.

So far, he has not reached an agreement with other partners in the project team on this basic problem.

First of all, Sandbox can't work.

Unlike Xiuxian simulator, this time they not only have scripts, but also the core selling point is scripts.

Third person action games?

No problem, there is nothing wrong with it, but I'm afraid the development cost will be a little over budget. Moreover, the "Xuanyuan sword" project itself is based on the plot as the selling point. It seems that putting the emphasis on action and special effects is putting the cart before the horse.

And it seems that there is no new idea in doing so. It's hard to stand out from the many popular martial arts games on the market

Although Li Zongzheng wants to create a masterpiece that can be regarded as a work of art by the players and talked about for many years, it's not enough just to make it popular.

Whether a game is successful or not ultimately needs to be tested by the market. In addition to those creative small productions born for awards, the ideals he pursues in the final analysis still need to be sold out first!

Thinking of this, Li Zongzheng could not help but make some difficulties for a while.

But fortunately, many of his coworkers, who have been "Studying" their own games on the computer for a whole morning, suddenly have an idea and say.

"Why don't we... Make a chess game?"

Chess?

Li Zongzheng was slightly stunned and said with a frown.

"Make it into chess? Can you do it? "

"It's better than the horizontal version of the round system or pure text adventure games we discussed yesterday. That kind of out of date playing method will definitely hit the street now," Du Ziteng continued with a helpless expression. "In the case of war chess... Let's make the character model beautiful and the skill special effects bright. It should be quite a bonus in the hearts of the players."

"Battle chess is good."

Hearing Du Ziteng's idea, Liu Ye's eyes lit up.

However, the reason why his eyes are bright is not because of how brilliant the idea is, but because he has been looking at it all morning. He has kept his head down for a long time, and his eyes are blue when he looks up.

Seeing that Liu Ye agreed with the idea, Li Zongzheng looked at him and asked.

"Do you think it's good to make war chess?"

Liu Ye nodded and said.

"Well, compared with the action games from the third person perspective, I think it's more helpful for players to immerse themselves in the story by slowing down the game a little bit with the turn based method. We can make the 3D perspective and the combat perspective seamless, and then cut into the combat chess mode in the battle. Action, attack and casting will consume the corresponding action points. When the action points are exhausted, the current character's turn ends. "

Li Zong is deep in thought.

Sounds like

It's kind of interesting, isn't it?

Sitting on one side, Jiang Lecheng was originally watching a play. After hearing Liu Ye's idea, he was also attracted by the discussion of the public and put in a word.

"In addition, we can integrate nurturing elements into the game, such as setting up several career frameworks, and then allowing players to add NPC teammates in addition to the leading group according to their own preferences."

"Yes! We can also add pens to these NPCs, and add feeder plots beyond the main line to them! " Du Ziteng, who has a big brain opening, added excitedly at the back.

The story of the trace of Xuanyuan sword is set at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which is a time when there are many capable people.

In addition to Chen Jingqiu and other leading groups, there are a large number of other characters in the script, but there is no more expansion of their plot in the script.

If you want to add nurturing elements, this is undoubtedly a breakthrough!

However, as soon as he heard that he wanted to add a pen, Liu Ye had a bad feeling in his heart and said quickly.

"I don't think it's necessary to add a pen. That script is already very good. If you add a pen, you'll add a snake to it."

"I think that's a good idea!"

Suddenly interrupted his words, Li Zongzheng, who was still hesitating before, this time showed a heart beating expression. His tone was excited, and then Du Ziteng continued to say.

"We can add pens on the premise of not changing the plot of the main line, so as to make NPC's human settings fuller and enrich the cultivation elements of the game... I think it's better to integrate the collection elements! Let players not only complete the main task, but also get fun from character collection and character cultivation

After listening to Li Zongzheng's words, in addition to the bitter face of Liu Ye, the eyes of people sitting in the office are shining.

Especially Du Ziteng, a face of melancholy issued a sigh.

"Damn, I want to play with everything I say!"

Jiangle orange, sitting on one side, also had bright eyes and said with great interest, "this idea is really good. I'll bet that if we follow this idea... Our game will definitely sell well!"

Liu Ye said with some worry.

"This... There are too many integrated elements. Will it look a little nondescript? Otherwise, let's use the template of wargame to add pens to NPC characters. I don't think it's necessary... "

"It's not necessary!" Li Zongzheng interrupted him and continued with a firm tone, "it's decided! Our new project will be made into wargame! From today on, Xuanyuan Jiantian trace project is officially approved! After that, I will distribute the work to all departments... "

Speaking of this, Li Zongzheng stopped for two seconds and continued without delay.

"Liu Ye, it's up to you to add the plot of the branch line! Within three days, I'll see the outline and script of the plot. Let's try to finish this part by the end of the year! "

Liu Ye nodded bitterly.

"Yes..."

Fishing is out of the question.

He could already imagine the despair of being drowned in manuscripts.

"And Jiangle orange," Li Zongzheng continued to look at the original painter in the team and said, "the vertical drawing and the original painting of the character are up to you!"

Jiangle orange stood up excitedly and said energetically.

"Yes! Leave it to me
