Chapter 441: Torch Sword Master
On the seventh day of work in the new year,
Lin Yao finally recovered from the holiday syndrome and entered the working state completely...
She began to draw the floor plan of the map of "Dark Soul".
Now that Linmu Studio has become quite large, many things no longer need Lin Yao to do personally.
But "many" also depends on what things are.
Planning is not possible.
Art is generally okay. The art department of Linmu Studio is now full of talents. If it is really not possible, it can be outsourced.
But ordinary art materials can be handed over to other art teams or other staff members of the studio.
But the map is really not okay.
It is not just a matter of drawing well, it has already fallen into the category of design.
Especially for the exquisite box garden map of "Dark Soul"... Only Lin Yao can do it.
Even Lin Yao.
It is actually quite painful to draw it...
In the next two days.
One map after another was drawn.
Lin Yao spent almost all her time on it.
There is no way.
Even if you have played the map of Dark Soul 1, it is quite complicated to draw, especially the map of the sick village.
Lin Yao sighed more than once...
It is really too messy and complicated.
Fortunately, with the help of the apocalypse state, although it was painful, I finally drew it...
On the third day, in the afternoon.
Lin Yao finished the last map of Little Lund and was preparing to draw a few important characters in "Dark Souls" to change her mood.
Zhu Nianqiao came to her house
and brought a piece of news.
The Pokémon experiment that was prepared last year
has reached the final stage .
"Senior, Pokémon has reached the final stage! Do you want to go up and try it?"
Zhu Nianqiao ran over excitedly, holding Lin Yao's arm and wanted to take her to the console product department.
"Don't try it now, wait until it's finished in a while." Lin Yao's arm was held, and after a moment of hesitation, she looked at the painting on the table and shook her head gently.
"Really not going to play it? I feel that the gameplay given by senior sister is simple, but unexpectedly interesting!"
"After all, games are not just a movie experience, let's wait until there is time."
"Oh... will the game be announced?"
"Well..."
Hearing Zhu Nianqiao's question, Lin Yao paused.
For a game, publicity is also very important. In fact, the publicity of a game is directly proportional to the quality of the game.
There was a reason why Linmu Studio's escort masterpieces were not widely publicized before.
Moreover, the game logo was announced in the next 30 days, which also attracted a lot of attention...
Now that Peria handheld game consoles are not popular, and Linmu Studio's consoles have been a great success in the early stage, there is no need to hide it anymore.
"It will be announced, but not now."
Lin Yao thought about it and replied: "After a while, we will summarize the third-party games of the Greenlight producers, and add the Dark Souls that the PC department is working on now, and announce them together.
It just happens to give console players a reassurance and tell them that we have prepared more than just escort masterpieces. We have so many games in the first half of this year!"
...
Time, into March.
The Dark Souls project team officially got on the right track.
Because of the planning of the completion mechanism, the game engine, the experience of the staff, and Lin Yao... plus the preparations before the New Year, the game progressed very fast.
The modeling of the Northern Undead Hospital has been completed, and the foundation of the Undead Town outside the city has also been built.
"I can't believe that even the initial map has so much thought, and there is a hidden BOSS..."
The project team of "Dark Soul" is the same team that made "Witch" before.
So Chen Qiuwen is still the person in charge.
He looked at the map with detailed annotations in the plan, and then compared it with the completed modeling. He sighed and had to admit it.
Who would have thought that a map could be played like this!
The real BOSS of this initial map is on the left side of the place where the players of "Dark Soul" start the game. Even when the players pass by, they can still see the shadowy huge figure.
But the players can't beat it.
The players have to defeat the upper BOSS, walk out of the initial map, and meet the conditions to return to the Northern Undead Hospital before they can see the real boss of the initial map-the lone demon.
It's not a new monster, but there are two bosses set from the beginning.
It's really interesting.
The sense of space of the map is maximized.
Moreover, there are more than just this initial map with exquisitely designed maps. There are many better maps in the game.
"It just feels too difficult... Look at the numbers given by Mr. Lin. To be honest, even if we calculate it based on the fastest upgrade speed, these small monsters holding torches and looking like trash can kill players in two moves..."
On the other side,
the staff member in charge of the game numbers had a strange expression on his face: "Boss, will there really be players who like this game?"
"Yes."
Zhang Qiuwen looked at the staff and said firmly: "Although it is a fantasy world, it is obvious that Lin Yao is making a hardcore game that is different from "The Legend of Zelda". Although there are magic, spells, and miracles in the plan, the character's attacks are very much like medieval knights. This style of life and death in a split second has a market."
"But it doesn't have to be so outrageous... It feels like in this game, anyone can kill the player, and the game doesn't give any player time to buffer, it's a big one right away..."
The staff member in charge of the game's numerical value continued: "I still don't understand this little monster with a torch. It's not a little monster at all. It's more like a swordsman..."
"This little monster's nickname is the torch swordsman."
Suddenly.
Lin Yao's voice rang out.
Chen Qiuwen and the staff member in charge of the game's numerical value turned around together. The latter immediately looked embarrassed when he saw Lin Yao.
"I'm not teasing you. The nickname is really the torch swordsman."
Lin Yao saw the other party's expression and smiled and shook her head: "I can understand your doubts. I actually wrote the game's selling point at the end of the plan. You can take a look. Whether this game can be successful or not, I can't say for sure. Let's just try it once. It's a hardcore game with high difficulty. Let's see how the players accept it. If it succeeds, we may be able to create a new game type... Come on!"
The difficulty of this game is indeed beyond many people's expectations.
It's still unknown from the players' side.
There are quite a few people inside Linmu Studio who don't understand the difficulty setting of this game.
Lin Yao is very clear about it, but doesn't mind.
This kind of game, you will know the fun of it only after you actually play it.
"..." The staff in charge of the game's numerical value saw Lin Yao's expression, and felt even more embarrassed, scratching his head.
"Is there something wrong?"
Chen Qiuwen looked at Lin Yao and changed the subject at the right time.
Lin Yao explained: "I am going to release a promotional video for the next game lineup this month, which includes "Dark Soul". I hope you can adjust the production order and increase the priority of the Royal City."
"Oh, I see."
Chen Qiuwen nodded, then hesitated for a moment and asked: "But why do we need the Royal City? Do we really want to promote that "Dark Soul" and "The Legend of Zelda" are in the same vein? "
"That depends on how the players understand it." Lin Yao smiled brightly, without giving a definite answer.
