Chapter 138: Martial Arts Game Concept Setting Draft

After creating a new document, Chen Mo wrote the title of the new document.

The design concept draft of "Wulin Heroes".

In Chen Mo's previous life, there were many classic martial arts games. "The Legend of Martial Arts" may not be the most well-made, but it is the most innovative, and it is the most innovative game. The martial arts game is very different.

Of course, "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" is not very famous, but its predecessor "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes" is famous.

In "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes", the protagonist travels to a world composed of 14 Jin Yong novels. In this world, the protagonist has to constantly interact with the characters in Jin Yong's novels, collect items, learn martial arts, recruit knights, and finally complete 14 A main mission, collect 14 books, and finally return to the real world.

This game was still a sensation at the time, because players were free to practice martial arts in Jin Yong's novels, recruit Duan Yu, Yang Guo and other heroes to fight side by side with them, and complete the plots related to each original work.

In addition, the good and evil value system was introduced in "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes". When players make different choices, the good and evil values ​​will change accordingly.

At the end, when the protagonist has collected all fourteen books from heaven and is about to leave, if the protagonist's good and evil value is high, then the top ten evil sect masters will come to besiege the protagonist; if the protagonist's good and evil value is low, then the Jianghu ten The masters of the orthodoxy will come to besiege the protagonist.

In the final battle, the protagonist must defeat these ten masters alone to pass the level, which also gives players a great sense of refreshment.

There are no Jin Yong novels in the parallel world, and the gameplay of "Jin Yong Heroes" is not as rich as "Wulin Heroes", and the level of art is difficult to meet the aesthetics of players in this era.

After comprehensive consideration, the production of "Wulin Heroes" is more in line with Chen Mo's current requirements.

In "The Legend of Martial Arts", the content of Jin Yong's novels is very small. Although it is a sequel to "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes", the martial arts schools, characters and martial arts in it are basically self-contained systems. Players in this world There is basically no obstacle to understanding.

In terms of art level, although "The Legend of Martial Arts" is an old game, it was remade in 2015 (renamed "The Legend of Heroes" after the remake), and the original character paintings and models have been redone. Chen Mo My current art level is also very high. After beautification, this art level can fully meet the needs of players in this era.

Chen Mo felt that the name "Wulin Heroes" was more in line with the content of the game, so he did not use the name "The Legend of Heroes".

Of course, the most important thing is that the gameplay and plot in "The Legend of Martial Arts" are very in line with Chen Mo's needs, especially the gameplay, which is a self-contained system, which can be said to be unique among all martial arts games.

As for the remake of this game, there is also a story.

"The Legend of Martial Arts" was first released in 2001. Although it is a well-received game, it has not become a classic of the same level as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Xuanyuan Sword".

In addition to the relatively small number of martial arts themes, the high difficulty of getting started, the unbalanced combat system, and the incomplete plot branches have also become points of deduction.

Of course, these are mainly limited by financial issues.

In the end, under the raging environment of piracy, Heluo Studio once announced its dissolution, and the studio composed of the original members, Dongfang Calculation, failed to release any classic works, and soon disappeared into the darkness like a spark.

In 2006, someone posted a post on the Tieba of Wulin Qunxiazhuan: "Is the company of Oriental Calculus still around?"

Players responded one after another: "I haven't seen them release a new game for a long time. It's not going to be a breakup. It would be a pity to break up."

In 2009, this tomb post was upvoted by a reply, the person who replied was Xu Changlong, the main creator of Heluo Studio and the producer of "Wulin Heroes".

"Eastern Calculus stopped operating three years ago, but everyone is still in the game industry, and the core members are also in a certain game company. As long as we are still there, we will have the opportunity to create better works."

For Xu Changlong, he was also surprised.

In these years, like many gamers, he gave up stand-alone games in the tide, turned to online games, did things he didn't like, and even had doubts about the future.

Until by chance, he came to the post bar of "Wulin Heroes" and found that so many people were posting and discussing this game.

He didn't expect the game in 2001, and in 2009 there are still so many people playing and missing it.

It is precisely for this reason that with the support of many netizens, Xu Changlong came up with the idea of ​​remaking "The Legend of Martial Arts", and finally launched "The Legend of the Knights" in 2015, and obtained the title in January 2016. Accumulated sales of 400,000 good results.

...

As with the production of "Warcraft", Chen Mo first wrote a concept draft, briefly described the general content of the entire game, and then divided the work between Su Jinyu and the three of them.

This time Chen Mo doesn't need to improve his abilities, because this game is actually not difficult to make. Chen Mo has even made works of the level of "Warcraft", and making "The Legend of Martial Arts" is at the technical level. No problem at all.

All that is needed is to sort out the complex settings and plot branches in the original work, and then reproduce the classic content of the original work to the greatest extent possible.

Soon, the concept draft of "The Legend of Martial Arts" was written.

In fact, the overall game content of this game is only divided into two types, namely, large map exploration and martial arts development.

The protagonist's role career is divided into three parts, first entering the rivers and lakes (big map exploration), apprenticeship and learning (cultivation within the school), and entering the rivers and lakes to save the martial arts catastrophe (big map exploration).

The reason why "The Legend of Martial Arts" is well received is because it inserts a cultivation mode into the regular large map exploration mode, and players find that the cultivation mode perfectly matches the martial arts content, so they are very welcome.

Of course, to reproduce the specific details, the help of the memory playback potion is needed, but as before, Chen Mo will only give some key basic settings, the specific plot, values, original paintings, etc. are all assigned to three Assistant completed.

After writing the concept draft, UU read www.uukanshu. com Chen Mo called Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi and Qian Kun for a meeting.

"I originally wanted to take a break, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. This is the concept draft of the next game, let's take a look first."

Chen Mo said, and distributed the concept draft of "The Legend of Martial Arts" to three people.

Qian Kun was a little disappointed: "Well, it's not a money game..."

Zheng Hongxi is very interested: "Huh? From the setting, the plot is very rich, and this time it is a martial arts theme, Chinese style."

Su Jinyu was a little puzzled: "The store manager, didn't they all say that the martial arts theme is not easy to do? This game, I feel that there are too many places for innovation, will it be a little risky?"

Chen Mo said: "You don't have to worry about this, first familiarize yourself with the content of the entire game. In two days, I will give the concept maps of each character and scene, Goldfish, you will be responsible for all the art resources this time. Bar."

"Hong Xi, you are mainly about the plot. This time the plot is mainly about martial arts, and there is a lot of traditional cultural knowledge in it, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. In this regard, prepare more materials. Too superficial and not too deep."

"Qian Kun, you are still mainly responsible for the battle system and numerical planning. The balance requirements this time are not as strict as Warcraft. There are a few martial arts that must be done very strongly, and the difficulty of obtaining them is also very high. I'll tell you more details."

"Okay, that's about it. Take the concept draft back and take a good look at it, figure out the final form of the game, and make more preparations for each."

After Chen Mo finished explaining, the three of them were ready to go.

As for Chen Mo himself, he started to use the memory playback potion to recall some key plots and classic settings of the game.
