Chapter 161 The firecrackers went off!
At this time, on the other side.
Zhou Yizhou was not idle either.
He personally led the team, carrying two outstanding students from the "bad review training class",
Liang Cong and Pan Pipa arrived at Weiming University in a mighty force.
To be precise, it is the Chinese Department and Ancient Books and Documents Research Center of Weiming University.
Liang Cong is a graduate student who has attended several classes in the bad review training class and has his own ideas.
Pan Pipa is an employee of the "氪命修仙" project team and his performance is also excellent.
Lao Zhou is also very optimistic about these two people, so he has been taking them with him on this new project.
Behind Zhou Yizhou, Liang Cong and Pan Pipa looked at each other, their eyes full of encouragement.
There are so many people in the bad review training class, there must be a reason why Teacher Zhou chose to take them two out!
Maybe he just wants them to come up with a project too!
After listening to the class for so long, I have to make some contribution.
Teacher Zhou has said before that we can make a simpler project.
If the project is approved at that time, you can directly get Mr. Lu’s investment!
The two were very excited and looked forward to this study!
…
As the most cultured person among those born from Whale Leap,
Zhou Yizhou’s label has always been that he is good at coding and can also read the Book of Songs.
Especially with his background in Chinese, he attaches great importance to the plot and background of the game.
In addition, during the last "Time Journey", I came to the school to bother many teachers and junior students.
These people are now very familiar with him!
As soon as the project was launched, he immediately thought that he had to establish a solid foundation for "Mistakenly Walking in the Wilderness"!
Are you a martial artist in Beishan? Then let's go cultural!
You have a sword manual sect? I have three thousand avenues!
You have Wudang and Shaolin? I can directly achieve the Hun Yuan Dao!
So, this is how I made this trip today.
soon,
In the Chinese Department's information room, in a quiet conference room.
"Old Zhou, you just came, why are you bringing students with you?"
"Liang Cong, Pan Pipa, right? These names... are quite resounding."
"They are indeed my students! Teacher, you can call them Acong and Firecracker."
"Firecrackers? Those are certainly loud!"
Pan Pipa raised his hand somewhat embarrassedly.
"Uh...it's me."
After a round of self-introductions, everyone was seated in the meeting room.
"Everyone, I called you here today because I want to ask the Chinese Department to provide some cultural support for our team."
Zhou Yizhou didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Since we have paid the consulting fee, we need to get down to business!
"We're currently working on a game set in a prehistoric world, with a worldview that leans towards mythology and fantasy, so we need to build a grand framework."
"But our team does have limited information on ancient systems, so I'd like to ask teachers and seniors if they can provide some reference on background, structure, and nomenclature."
An old professor sitting in the main seat was in high spirits and laughed after listening to it.
"Primordial?"
"The last time I heard this word was in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"Are you planning to use the Classic of Mountains and Seas IP for your game?"
Zhou Yizhou waved his hand.
"No, no, no, we're not copying any book. Instead, we're planning to create a world that blends mythology, classical imagination, and original elements."
"Honghuang is just a starting point. We want to build a world where 'after the Three Thousand Daos collapse, all the saints die, players stray into it, and hundreds of races fight for their lives.'"
"It's not about cultivating immortals, nor is it about deifying gods. This is the idea that Mr. Lu provided earlier. Please take a look at it first."
Zhou Yizhou distributed the information he brought to everyone.
"Hmm..." The professor looked at it seriously and nodded.
"The Great Dao is broken, but anyone can attain enlightenment. This idea is quite interesting..."
The professor immediately became interested.
“This is interesting!”
"Do you know where the word 'Honghuang' first came from?"
"So-called, the universe is vast and boundless..."
"Actually, 'Honghuang' is a symbol of chaos and prehistoric times, referring to the time when Pangu and Nuwa were..."
"If you were to write about the background of 'the Dao has collapsed, the Dharma has dispersed', ..."
The old professor started lecturing immediately and got straight into the moment.
Zhou Yizhou frowned as he listened. This was too complicated, and it definitely wouldn't work. He definitely couldn't just follow it.
Whale leaps have their own ideas.
By the afternoon, when the few of them walked out of the information room, it was almost dark.
Several people were holding a pile of information in their hands.
Pan Pipa was still flipping through the borrowed copy of Strange Stories of Immortals, muttering to himself:
"Oh my god, Jiuying actually has nine heads, and it's a combination of water and fire?"
"After Xing Tian was beheaded, he used his nipples as eyes and his navel as a mouth to fight?"
"The divine beast Bai Ze is so powerful and knows everything!"
"Wow, I'm addicted to all this material..."
He really didn't expect that the ancient books that he used to think were boring could be combined with games so well!
Xingtian, Jiuying, Zhulong, Bai Ze, Dijiang, Houyi...
These names are like a game skill pool that drills into my head one by one.
Each one has an explosive setting that makes his blood boil!
Zhou Yizhou didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder gently and turned to look at the dark campus skyline.
"These settings are indeed interesting, but the main focus of our "Misguided Primordial Chaos" is still on the person controlled by the player. We may not need these character settings yet!"
"No way, teacher!"
"You don't need these? This... this isn't appropriate!"
Firecracker had a painful look on his face, but he refused to put down the "Strange Stories of Immortals" in his hand.
But then I thought again,
"Indeed, if players could transform into the divine Fuxi and fight Chiyou, it wouldn't seem to fit in with the context of our battle royale game..."
"I feel like these characters...if they're not going to be in 'Misguided Path to the Wilderness', then they need to be kept for me!"
"That's so exciting! Who can resist an ancient war god who speaks with his belly button as a mouth?"
Zhou Yizhou smiled and said nothing, but just looked at the state of the two students, feeling quite emotional.
Today’s trip was definitely not in vain!
Although Firecracker always looks nonchalant, when he encounters something he likes, he is more serious than anyone else.
Liang Cong was also busy.
There are many characters in the prehistoric era, from various schools and factions, with complicated relationships.
He was completely confused.
"It's okay, you two can take the books back first and study them carefully!"
"You've been in the negative review training class for a long time. I've been busy with projects recently, so I may not have time to teach you anymore!"
"However, if you have ideas and projects, you can still pursue them. President Lu has been waiting for the results of our negative review training class!"
"I'm rooting for you!"
…
After returning to the company dormitory at night, Pan Pipa sat on the bed in a daze.
He had a small pile of books at hand and a page of note-taking software open on his desk, which was filled with densely packed keywords.
"Jiuying, Xingtian, Zhulong, Dijiang, Kunpeng, Zhurong..."
My brain felt like it was fed with five pounds of eight-treasure porridge, confusing, rich, and very hot.
"Nine Infants spew fire and water, Xingtian fights without a head, Zhurong controls fire, Zhulong controls day and night, Emperor Jiang has no face, Kunpeng flies thousands of miles..."
"Fuck, these settings... are such a waste."
"If it were really put in the game, who would be able to bear it?"
He stared at an illustration on a page of "Strange Stories of Immortals", which showed Xing Tian.
The painting style is rough and the characters are grotesque. A headless man is waving a Gan Qi and roaring to the sky, like a barbarian who can only charge.
"What do you think he wants?"
Firecracker muttered.
"He can't see the other side in battle, and he talks through his belly button... If this were put in a game, he would be criticized immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.
“I was immediately mad at her…”
These words seemed to be magnified dozens of times in his mind.
this,
Isn’t it just a bad review?
Suddenly, a passage that Mr. Zhou said in the negative review training class flashed through my mind:
“When making games, you can’t just think about pleasing people. You have to start by being hated.”
“Game designers are like actors!”
Pan Pipa's eyes suddenly lit up!
Yes!
These mythological settings seem "outrageous" or even "funny", but why are they funny?
Because they are "counter-intuitive"!
They broke the players' traditional understanding of "handsome", "strong" and "god"!
Xing Tian spoke with his belly button, and the player’s first reaction was: Isn’t this too outrageous?
But if I can fight! If I can feel good!
That outrageous thing will become a "memory point"!
If it were made into a game, every character would have this kind of dissonance + super gorgeous development,
Wouldn't that just spark the topic?
At this moment, the firecrackers were shocked.
"Yes! Fighting game!"
“Fighting games are the easiest type of game to get players hooked on and addicted to!”
"As long as the stats are awesome, the skills are awesome, and you can crush the world with one blow, who cares if you're being reasonable?"
