Chapter 41 Star Emperor
Fans will definitely have it.
The first popular game of Tianba Studio was made popular by the recommendation of Pili Pili UP master, so they have no shortage of fans.
But after posting the video and announcing the official establishment of the studio, Chen Ba didn't care much about the follow-up.
A good blacksmith must have good tools himself! Whether it is fans and players, or traffic and attention, without the support of works, these are all empty.
They are a game studio, not idol stars. As long as they can produce good games, these things will come naturally.
Speaking of games, there is a lot of internal controversy about the studio's next new game.
Action fighting 3D game!
The subject matter is not a problem; the problem is the choice of game engine. Chen Ba suggested that the new game will be produced using the recently announced Dream Building 5 engine.
"Dream Building 5?"
Xiao Lu and others looked at each other.
As a game practitioner, it is impossible for everyone to not know Dream Engine.
It is precisely because I know what this thing is that I am surprised at Brother Ba’s idea.
The DreamBuilding 5 engine was announced not long ago, and there are no finished games developed using this engine on the market. Although the official sample image samples are amazing, this is also where everyone questions it.
Is it necessary for a fighting game to use such a new engine and to calculate movie-level CG images in real time? "Why not use the new engine?"
Chen Ba explained: "Besides, the main feature of our fighting game is high-quality and high-precision scenes and special effects."
There is actually nothing to hesitate about when choosing a game engine.
The games they want to make will have very high requirements for the precision of scene modeling, and they pursue the ultimate visual effects.
As a newly released next-generation game engine, Dream Building 5 can meet the needs of Tianba Studio. Unless a new game engine is developed in-house, it is difficult to find a second option.
"Don't worry!"
"Although our new game is built with the DreamBuilding 5 engine and pursues the ultimate graphics effect, its size is not large."
Guessing what everyone was worried about, Chen Ba smiled and said, "You don't think I'm going to make a 3A game, do you?"
I think highly of Tianba Studio!
A fighting game does not involve many scenes, and it is not like a 3A game that has an entire open world.
To put it bluntly.
The reason why everyone is so worried is mainly because they are worried that Brother Ba is taking too big a step, because he is so arrogant that he has the ambition to make a 3A game.
After all, the span is too big.
The first game is a pixel-style business simulation, the second game is a 2D development simulation... When it comes to the third game, is it directly Dream Building 5 maxed out?
Chen Ba clearly told everyone that you are worrying too much!
He is not so inflated and arrogant as to think that he can create a next-generation masterpiece with just the current Tianba Studio, just these few people, and just the money in his pocket.
If 3A is a villa, then their new game is at best just a toilet in the villa.
"The new game is called Star Emperor."
"It's probably a fairy-hero world with many sects and holy places, and all kinds of races in the universe coexisting..."
Waving his hand, Chen Ba continued, "Just take a brief look at it. The plot is simple anyway, there are only a few sentences in total."
The game background of "Star Emperor" is based on several popular fantasy fairy tale online novels, and many realm terms are adapted from them.
The game has two modes.
In the story-based breakthrough mode, the player will take on the role of an ordinary human boy, sweeping through the ranks of the geniuses and gods competing for the throne, and eventually achieving enlightenment and being revered by all races as the Star Emperor.
The second is the online mode! In the online mode, players can choose the Star Emperor, other human emperors, or the supreme beings of other races, and then have a true man showdown across the long river of time.
"Let's put it this way. The story-based game mode is a human-computer game, where you mainly learn how to operate the keys. The online mode is a game between players."
Yang Dong added: "This is not a story-heavy game. There is no story to speak of. The protagonist just keeps on conquering the world."
Plot? Where is the plot? After the painful lessons of the first two games, Chen Ba and Yang Dong now have a headache whenever they hear the plot, and they just hope that the plot is as simple as possible.
So in the game "Star Emperor", the plot is so simple and crude that it is outrageous.
In the human-machine mode, the plot can be summed up in one sentence: the protagonist sweeps away all the geniuses of his generation and finally attains enlightenment! What more plot do you want?
The real genius, just push forward all the way! Neither of them wanted to talk in depth about the plot, and there was nothing to say. The main feature of "Star Emperor" was still the online battle mode.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the online mode, every player is an emperor or a supreme alien, standing tall on the river of time and fighting against each other.
The core of fighting games is fighting.
Regarding the fighting aspect, everyone talked about it and discussed the characteristics and unique abilities of each character.
"The characteristics of the Black Turtle Supreme should be that his skin is tough and his shield is thick, while this Winged Clan Supreme can be set as an agile character..."
In the game background of "Star Emperor", before the protagonist Star Emperor attained enlightenment, the number of human emperors and alien supreme beings was about hundreds.
But it is impossible to create so many characters in one go. In the plan, there are only three human emperors and three alien supremes to choose from at the beginning of the game.
Six characters is a bit too few.
However, new characters can be added through updates in the future, so this is not a big problem.
The three tentative human emperors are the game's protagonist, the Starry Sky Emperor, the Universe Emperor, and the Long Night Emperor.
Among them, the protagonist Star Emperor is an all-round player with relatively balanced values in all aspects. He is referred to as the "Bucket King" and is more suitable for novices.
The Emperor of the Universe is a counterattack type, with low stats and skills that tend to be defensive counterattacks. His advantage is that he does not require operation, so he is suitable for players who have brains but poor operation skills.
The Emperor of the Night, the glass cannon! He is a character with high attack and low defense, and his upper limit can be said to be the highest in the whole game. But whether he is super god or dead depends on how the player plays...
The same is true for the alien supreme.
Basically, each character has its own characteristics, as well as relatively special mechanisms and skills.
To use Chen Ba's original words, every great emperor or supreme being has a different way of proving their truth and uses different weapons, which is why there are huge differences.
Some emperors or supreme beings have extraordinary physiques, so they are stronger in close combat, while others have extraordinary talents and have created all kinds of amazing secret methods.
The only similarity is that when they reach the realm of the Great Emperor/Supreme, their strength is terrifying.
When attacking the enemy, each move was accompanied by strange phenomena of heaven and earth, and he could easily destroy a whole star field. This was a very normal thing for the strongest person.
The reason why Chen Ba used the Dream Building 5 engine was to better demonstrate the great power of the Great Emperor/Supreme, making the battle scenes more terrifying and more epic! (End of this chapter)
