Chapter 486 Game Release
February 6.
Most departments and staff of Linmu Studio are on holiday.
The busy year is finally over.
However, after all, it is a game company, and the headquarters is in China. The number of players online during this period is the highest, and the huge data interaction will definitely bring a lot of problems.
So the staff who stay behind are indispensable.
In addition, there is a new game to be released this year, so it is even more necessary to keep an eye on it.
In fact, every year there are a large number of staff members who take turns to stay behind. The year before last, it was Zhong Xiu, last year it was Zhu Nianqiao, and this year it is Chen Qiuwen's turn.
These people will stick to their posts during the Spring Festival, and then take turns to rest after the New Year.
Most of the time, the staff who are not far from home stay behind. If there is really no other way, the staff who are not close to home will also help.
Because the salary is very high, and the holiday after the New Year is very considerable.
Therefore, there are many staff members who voluntarily stay behind every year.
And Lin Yao herself will stay in the studio before visiting her cheap father.
After confirming that there is no problem, she will go to the capital and go home with her sister on the same day.
This year is the same.
Lin Yao came to the studio for the last time that day and asked Chen Qiuwen about his recent situation.
"No problem, the online games under our company are running normally, and the new game has been scheduled to be unlocked at 12 o'clock. If there is any problem, we can solve it, don't worry."
Chen Qiuwen replied confidently to Lin Yao: "After all, this mechanism has been running for so many years. Unless the computer room explodes, there will probably be no major problems."
"Don't be such a pessimist. The explosion of the computer room is not just a matter of one game. We all have to explode!"
As soon as these words came out
, Lei Hongguang, the original leader of the "Warcraft" project team and the "Civilization" project team, immediately said unhappily: "It's the New Year, can you say something auspicious..."
"Then I hope everything goes well? It won't affect our playing "Warcraft"? By the way, why hasn't Zhang Tian from Conglong Studio come yet? Didn't we agree to play Warcraft together?" Chen Qiuwen thought about it and replied.
"Is this something you can say in front of the boss!?" Lei Hongguang glared at him.
"Okay, don't delay your normal work. Just have fun. It's not like you're in jail... And, Happy New Year."
Lin Yao was a little amused. After sighing that everyone in the studio had a tendency to become a bamboo-like person, she hid her snow-white chin in her scarf, said Happy New Year, and turned away.
She was going to see her cheap dad.
Lei Hongguang and Chen Qiuwen watched Lin Yao go away, then smiled awkwardly.
Suddenly, they lost the interest in arguing.
It's boring...
It's okay.
The two of them were depressed for a while.
Zhang Tian from Long Studio came.
This time, "Di Renjie" was released. Of course, Zhang Tian couldn't go back to wait for the news with peace of mind during the New Year. He couldn't sit still
. So, he stayed for the New Year.
As for his coming to Linmu Studio today, it was mainly because Lei Hongguang invited him to play Warcraft together.
"Congratulations, I see that the pre-sale sales of "Di Renjie" are very good, and I feel it will be a hit!"
Lei Hongguang saw Zhang Tian and immediately cheered up, hooked his neck, and pulled him to his project team.
"You're joking. Actually, it's all thanks to Lin Yao. And we don't know how the game will be reviewed after it's released." Zhang Tian replied a little stiffly.
"Who is not thanks to JK... Oh, no, it's the boss's blessing! And don't be nervous, you're making us nervous."
Lei Hongguang smiled, then let go of his neck and pulled him to sit down: "Relax, you can play Warcraft, right? It's a good opportunity to dispel the nervousness of the game's release."
"Of course, I was on the ladder at the time."
Zhang Tian immediately felt better when talking about the game.
"That's great."
Lei Hongguang pulled Zhang Qiuwen to sit down together, then smiled: "Let's play a few games. Wait a few hours after the game is released, you go and pay attention to the reviews, and I'll go through the plot of Warcraft again."
"Ah? The plot of Warcraft? Why?" Zhang Tian opened Warcraft and was a little curious.
"There will be a project at the headquarters next, which is related to Warcraft."
Lei Hongguang smiled mysteriously, and then said: "This project is quite amazing, and it involves many project teams. You may be asked to help in the future!"
Chen Qiuwen also said at this time: "The entire PC department is expected to be mobilized. When I first heard about it, I was not very optimistic, but I really have to admire Lin Yao's imagination..."
"..." Zhang Tian became more and more curious, but he also knew how important it was to keep the new game confidential. After all, the reason why "Di Renjie" had some other voices this time was because someone from the Conglong Studio leaked the secret.
So although he was curious, he still held back and did not continue to ask.
"Forget it, let's not discuss this for now, play games."
Lei Hongguang also ended the topic at this time: "Don't get more and more excited and leave Zhang Tian here to play the campaign, GOGOGO!"
"Okay."
Chen Qiuwen and Zhang Tian heard this and looked at the screen again.
...
At the same time.
Just when the three people left behind in Linmu Studio were fighting bloody battles in Warcraft.
Players also waited in front of their computers, waiting for the unlocking of "Detective Dee".
Yi Wenwen had been sitting in front of his computer for a long time.
Then, as soon as the game was unlocked, he clicked to start playing.
Although the appearance of the detective element in the final trailer was indeed unexpected,
His father also said that the name of the game Di Renjie may be more of a gimmick than a reality.
But you still have to play it.
After all, this is a game from Linmu Studio. Even if everything is put aside, the gameplay will not disappoint!
As for the comments in the community that the game quality will not be as expected if it is produced by Conglong Studio, Yi Wenwen did not take it seriously at all. If Linmu Studio cannot control the quality in the field of games, then no game company in China can do it.
So he pre-ordered the game as soon as possible and entered the game as soon as possible.
"Here it comes!"
Yi Wenwen watched the game window appear, and then various logos flashed one by one, and he was a little excited. It
was not until the initial page came out that he barely calmed down.
Click the most conspicuous 'Start Game'.
Yi Wenwen held the mouse tightly.
The game officially started.
The game first gave a pre-story background-
in 690 AD, the ambitious Wu Zhao proclaimed herself emperor and established the Wu Zhou Dynasty, becoming the only orthodox female emperor in the country.
After she became emperor, she continued to fight with the Turkic regime in the northwest for many years, and the war lasted for more than ten years.
It was not until the first year of Dazu that things changed. The Turkic Khan Jili sent a peace delegation headed by his brother Shibi to Chang'an, which ended the war between the two countries that lasted for more than ten years.
This is the background of the whole game.
The Turkic delegation visited Chang'an to show reconciliation.
And the game unfolded against this background.
First of all, the game did not give the player the protagonist at the beginning, but adopted a three-line parallel mode to explain the whole background.
Just like the promotional film.
On the edge of the desert, a man who looked like a Turkic noble seemed to be seriously injured. He climbed up the hill and looked at the not-so-distant city skyline. He just showed a relieved expression, and the next second, he was stabbed to death by a mysterious man wearing a mask.
At a post station, the post soldier threw away the horse with foam at the mouth, then staggered into the lighted house, pushed open the door, fell to the ground, and faced his colleagues who came to help him in surprise, shouting that something happened!
Then the next scene.
A new post soldier rode a new horse and rushed to Chang'an overnight.
Then the scene changed again. In the magnificent Taiji Hall, Emperor Wu and his ministers were waiting for the arrival of the Turkic envoys.
Emperor Wu admonished the anxious ministers, asking them to stay calm and not let the barbarians look down on them.
The three lines are not just for players to watch.
It is not even a simple animation. Players need to play characters in the three lines. In the first scene, they play the role of a Turkic noble, who needs to go to the top of the hill and be killed.
In the second scene, they play the role of a postman, who needs to go to the post station for exchange.
As for the last scene, players have to play the role of an official holding a court tablet in front of Wu Zetian, listen to Wu Zetian's admonition, and even ask questions.
This feeling is amazing.
Because the game itself is more immersive than the drama and text, plus the investment is high enough, the atmosphere is very good, and the sense of immersion is very strong.
Of course.
Sand sculpture players want to do everything.
For example, in this scene in the hall, Yi Wenwen was thinking about whether he could get close to Emperor Wu...
but he soon found that it was not possible.
Although the game can be made to let players move around, and then give a performance of disturbing the court and dragging them out.
But it's too frustrating to give players a sense of defeat at the beginning of the game... So the player's action area is simply limited. As long as the player's movement is a little larger, the character will be out of the player's control and return to the original position under the reminder of the official next to him.
Players can only ask questions here.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what this word turbidity refers to?" Yi Wenwen could only control the minister named Zhang Jianzhi and asked.
"The truce between the two countries is certainly a blessing for my Celestial Empire and even more so for the Turks. Therefore, you don't have to be too solemn and relax. When the Turkic envoys arrive, they should see a group of harmony, not a group of condensed qi.
Harmony will naturally make everything smooth, while condensed qi means that our great country will expose its weakness and let the barbarians look down on it."
Emperor Wu, who was sitting in the hall, gave the answer.
Yi Wenwen moved his perspective to look at Emperor Wu above and smiled.
I have to say that it is really amazing. Putting aside some unreasonable elements, at least in terms of performance lines, the emperor's temperament is established.
Even if she is a female emperor, she is still an emperor, a woman who stood at the pinnacle of power in ancient times.
This is a feeling that is difficult to give with words.
The experience of a large-scale stand-alone production is also very different from a large number of online games with court scenes.
And then, through conversation, the name Di Renjie also appeared for the first time, and Emperor Wu seemed to miss this minister very much.
Then Yi Wenwen discovered that this game is not as simple as putting on a shell. From the beginning of the game, it seems that there are political scenes.
For example, on the question of whether to recall Di Renjie, the court was divided into two factions, one of which was Zhang Jianzhi played by the player, and the other was Wu Sansi.
Yi Wenwen knew who it was when he heard the name. Wu Zetian's nephew was almost made a prince in history, but Di Renjie urged the emperor to think twice.
In the end, Wu Zetian gave up, so Wu Sansi was very unhappy with Di Renjie.
"It's interesting."
Yi Wenwen had to admit that this kind of atmosphere of the ancient court in China had to be created by domestic game companies.
He even had the illusion of watching a TV series.
But this feeling didn't last long. Soon, the court conversation came to an abrupt end because the Turkish delegation arrived.
After the Turkish delegation arrived, the game's perspective changed, and finally gave the game's controllable protagonist.
Endless desert.
Somewhere in a dilapidated shelter.
A young man walked out of the door with wounds all over his body, and then walked into the sunlight. Then the mission target appeared, and he needed to go to the nearest city.
Yi Wenwen controlled the character to move forward, and the character would mutter to himself, giving some one-sided information.
For example... they are all dead, they can't go back, hide first, etc.
It seems that something big has happened.
And the enemy appeared after walking a few steps.
Assassination.
Sudden assassination.
The endless desert has basically the same scenery, so it is really difficult to find a person who suddenly appeared at a fast speed.
The character controlled by Yi Wenwen was directly hit by a knife and lost half of his blood.
He hurriedly pressed the counterattack button according to the prompt.
The enemy drew his sword and jumped away, avoiding the knife swung by Yi Wenwen.
Then, the game officially entered the stage of head-on confrontation.
The hard-core action system at the time also unveiled the mystery. Simply put, when the player attacks and the enemy attacks, both sides can parry each other, and then both sides have an endurance bar. As long as the endurance bar is full, they can kill each other in one hit.
At the same time, on this basis, players can also find the flaws of the enemy's attack to increase the opponent's endurance bar or directly kill with one blow.
This action system is really unique and fun to play.
It feels like a swordsman duel.
Every time the parry collides, sparks fly.
Both sides constantly adjust their moves and positions, constantly trying to cut down each other.
Yi Wenwen's adrenaline soared directly.
When finding the opponent's weakness and executing, the large amount of blood sprayed when killing and the heavy execution sound effects directly detonated his adrenaline.
"This is too cool..."
Yi Wenwen pushed away the ghost on the knife, swung the knife a few times in the air, calmed down a little, and continued to walk forward.
The system also began to remind players that they can hold down Shift and the direction keys to dodge and move sideways.
Yi Wenwen glanced at it and thought of something. While walking, he stared at the surroundings.
Sure enough.
Not far away.
Not far away.
A black shadow suddenly lifted the covering rag, suddenly jumped up, and stabbed at him with a knife.
Yi Wenwen immediately held down the Shift key and the arrow key, moved directly to the left, and pressed the attack key at the same time.
Under his control, the character shifted directly, dodged the enemy's thrust, and at the same time sent his knife into the opponent's neck.
Puff...
a lot of blood spurted out.
The protagonist drew his knife and gently shook off the blood on the knife. With the dull sound of the person falling to the ground, the perspective returned to normal.
Clean and neat.
"Fuck! Cool!"
Yi Wenwen couldn't help but raise his voice slightly. What political plot, what martial emperor, at this moment, all became details.
The game is so cool! So fun!
That's enough!
