Chapter 394: No Little Demons Here
After Lu Ming left,
In the whale watching office,
Cheng Qing was typing furiously on the document.
With his brows furrowed and lips slightly pursed, it is obvious that he is in a state of meditation.
The document on the screen refreshed line by line, as if she wanted to put all her enthusiasm into it.
Yao Wenqing glanced at her, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
This girl...is she so quick to get involved?
He couldn't help but twitch his lips, and a complex emotion emerged in his heart.
I feel both relieved and a little stressed.
Cheng Qing looked up and noticed Yao Wenqing's gaze.
She pushed her glasses and spoke softly, but with a hint of excitement:
"Teacher...are you done talking?"
Yao Wenqing took a deep breath and forced out a meaningful smile:
"Well, we're done talking."
Cheng Qing nodded and did not ask any further questions.
Mr. Lu said it was a big project, so she couldn't just ask around.
The teacher will definitely tell her what she should know.
What's more, the "Sharing the Bright Moon" project is enough to keep her busy now.
She had neither the time nor the energy to speculate further.
Yao Wenqing looked at her.
Suddenly I realized a problem.
Now not only he is facing the challenge, Cheng Qing is also facing her first time "starting from scratch".
The two started at the same time.
The difference is that Cheng Qing looks like he has already started on the road, while he is still standing on the shore...hesitating about which pair of shoes to wear.
"We can't delay any longer."
Yao Wenqing murmured softly, then rushed back to his office.
He turned on the computer and his breathing gradually became deeper.
His fingertips hovered over the keyboard for a moment, and he finally typed a few words:
"Patrol the Mountain."
He typed this name on the top line of the document.
This is the title.
It is also the starting point of the project and him.
But this time, he must make sure that there is something solid and supportive behind this name.
He stared at the screen, tapping his fingers bit by bit, and began to sort out the core ideas of the entire game.
According to Mr. Lu,
In the game "Mountain Patrol",
Every monster is a BOSS.
No monsters, no minions.
You are not a hero, not the chosen one.
It's also a large soul game.
This means that players will face an extremely high-intensity battle rhythm from beginning to end.
However, the Demon Suppression Division where the player was located is dead, and the inheritance has been cut off.
This causes the player's attack and the monster's attack to be completely disproportionate.
If you can only be slaughtered all the time,
Then this game is not interesting, and has no core or main storyline.
So he grasped the key.
Yao Wenqing stared at the few words he had written and read them softly:
"The Demon Suppression Master is dead, and the inheritance is cut off."
The decline of the Demon Suppression Division not only means "no guidance from predecessors", but also means:
All the players’ early failures are due to ignorance.
He paused, his tone becoming more serious:
"If you don't even know what a demon is, let alone how to fight it."
At this moment, he seemed to have caught inspiration.
Ideas came pouring out like a torrent.
He quickly sketched out the framework in his mind, thinking as he wrote it down.
"So, the main plot of this game should be like this..."
Stage 1: Encountering a big monster and being unable to fight it.
"The first time a player encounters a monster, they're bound to fail. Even if they try their best, they won't be able to defeat it."
Phase 2: Escape and observation.
For example, some monsters are afraid of fire, some monsters don’t like metal, and some monsters are stronger at night...
A player’s first real growth is not to become stronger, but to learn to observe and record.
Phase 3: Collection.
Monster hair, scales, bloodstains, nails, remnants of resentment, fragments of scattered souls...
Each piece of material will become a "sample" for subsequent research on monsters.
Although players will fail again and again and be crushed by monsters again and again.
But, I also record, collect, and analyze again and again.
Finally, I gradually understood the monster's 'real name' and its 'weakness'!
Then formulate corresponding strategies.
This time, players are not "increasing their combat effectiveness".
But it is "cognitive upgrade".
Time and time again, generation after generation,
You finally know where to start.
Whether it is setting up formations, obtaining new equipment, or knowing how to fight against big monsters,
Even the monsters can be sucked into special magical instruments, captured, or cultivated!
To put it in a general way, it means to watch, record, understand, and stand up when necessary.
The Great Demon is not only something he must conquer, but also a part of the mountain that he must understand and coexist with.
In this case,
It matches the name of "Mountain Patrol"!
The Demon Suppression Record is the core of the Demon Suppression Bureau. When players patrol the mountains and complete the Demon Suppression Record, they are completing the inheritance of the Demon Suppression Bureau!
Thinking of this,
Yao Wenqing's head buzzed.
This is the core storyline of the game!
Soul-based hardcore combat... coupled with academic growth!
At this moment, Yao Wenqing seemed to understand the significance of Mr. Lu asking him to make the game.
Why did Mr. Lu only give him a starting direction?
"What Mr. Lu values is definitely not my experience, but my ability to find something different."
"There are already a lot of 'Soul Series' on the market."
"This time, what I'm going to do is not soul + action."
"Yes - Soul System + Academic Deduction + Cognitive Growth + Demon Suppression Gameplay."
"There's a reason why Mr. Lu wants me to do this."
Yao Wenqing felt that he had found the best path to launch the game.
He began to improve his documentation:
Demon Suppression Division Combat Log System
Monster Material Research Mechanism
Observation value setting
Real Name System
The first generation of monster hunting equipment chain
Formation arrangement + time and place interaction system
Capture, cultivate and hatch gameplay
…
Yao Wenqing took a deep breath.
This is how the game should be played.
Through cognitive feedback and reverse thinking after failure, we can academically deconstruct our enemies.
Otherwise, how do we explain the fact that there are so many bosses and players love to play them?
Pure masochism?
No way!
"Even Soul Class doesn't rely solely on dodging and rolling."
Yao Wenqing's mind was completely heated.
His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and before he knew it, he had written more than ten pages of documents.
Looking at the document that I have numbered page by page,
Yao Wenqing is full of pride!
He turned to the first page again.
The cover of "Patrol Mountain"
At this moment, he had already gained some insights and carefully typed out a few lines.
"Patrol the Mountain": There are no little demons here.
An ordinary sword cannot kill an extraordinary monster.
From fugitive to hunter.
From an ignorant person to a writer.
Only by knowing the enemy can you survive!
…
With direction and ideas,
Then the subsequent projects will be easy to do.
It is enough to gather a team, raise a budget, and rush the project.
Yao Wenqing made a preliminary calculation and found that the budget for this game mainly includes the following aspects:
Self-developed art resources throughout the entire process
Nearly a hundred kinds of monster models, staged animations...
Interaction system complexity
Formation calculation system...
These are not small amounts of money.
A simple calculation shows that the cost is about 300 million.
However, the cost of this investment
In the face of the whole whale watching, it is still average.
The usual investment in whale watching is no less than this!
What's more, this is a project that Mr. Lu personally assigned!
What's the use of spending some money?
Yao Wenqing suddenly felt a long-lost sense of heroism in his heart.
Even if it's 300 million, or even a little more, as long as it's done well, this game can leave something behind - it's worth it!
Yao Wenqing moved his neck.
He looked down at the time.
Ten o'clock in the evening.
He stretched and loosened his stiff wrists.
I took another look at the results of the project I had worked on for so long.
The document has been completed.
Project Name: Mountain Patrol
Person in charge: Yao Wenqing
He hit the confirm button to save.
[Document saved]
Yao Wenqing smiled.
"Let's go patrol the mountains."
