Chapter 146 Pre-Heating

Lin Xue's computer screen.

【beggar】

"After the defeat against the Tianlong Sect, you were seriously injured and woke up in a coma for several months."

"After waking up, it's like a lifetime. The Dragon King has conquered the martial arts in the Central Plains and became the overlord of the martial arts."

"And all your martial arts have been abolished, and you have become a complete waste. The decent people are either imprisoned or mercilessly killed, the rivers and lakes are turbulent, and everyone is in danger."

"You finally escaped the pursuit of the Dragon King, but since then you have been living down and out, poor and helpless, begging everywhere, and all your life..."

The accompanying picture is a beggar with a yellow face and thin skin, crouching in the corner, his eyes seem to be full of unwillingness.

"Ah! What the hell! What the hell is this game!"

Lin Xue scratched her hair in anger.

She had been playing this game for three days, but she lost in a key battle, and the ending screen popped up.

The protagonist becomes a beggar...

Like other games, after death, there will be an interface that says "please make persistent efforts" or "victory or defeat is a common thing in the army", and then you can read the file and start over. As a result, this game directly makes this game over interface. There is an ending, which greatly strengthens the player's sense of substitution.

Lin Xue was about to collapse. The demon sect had invaded before, and the protagonist was ordered by his master to convene the three sects of Shaolin, Wudang, and the Beggar Gang to unite against the demon sect. As a result, these three sects had not been convened yet, and Lin Xue fell to the ground. Now, as for the martial arts conference, becoming the leader of the alliance, and the crusade against the Demon Cult, I haven't even seen it at all!

Lin Xue felt that she had suffered 10,000 points of damage. After struggling for three days, she had come to such a tragic end. This was simply unbearable for someone like Lin Xue who claimed to be an experienced single player!

At this time, a voice said behind Lin Xue: "Tsk tsk tsk, the beggar ends."

Lin Xue turned her head to look, isn't this Chen Mo?

She didn't know when Chen Mo appeared behind her, with a meaningful smile on her face.

Lin Xue stood up: "Ah! Aren't you Chen Mo! I've been waiting for you for several days, why haven't you shown up?"

Chen Mo was stunned: "What the hell, although I go out a lot these days, I spend most of the time in the experience store. Is it because you were too focused on playing games and didn't notice me?"

Lin Xue was taken aback for a moment: "Uh... It seems, right?"

She was stunned for a moment, and said to Chen Mo, "Hurry up, give me a guide! This game is so difficult, it made my head big!"

Chen Mo said, "What kind of strategy do you want? Isn't the fun of the game just figuring it out by yourself? After adding some oil, I'm optimistic about you."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lin Xue was the only one left sulking here.

On the barrage, the water friends swiped the screen one after another.

"Fuck, I really caught Chen Mo!"

"He owes so much! He still owes him the same as always! Axue, beat him for me!"

"Add oil? So unconventional?"

"I feel like he did it on purpose. He deliberately adjusted the difficulty of the game so high! Ah, this jealous student!"

"Don't be angry, Axue, come on, you can definitely do it!"

"It's really Chen Mo's consistent style, note Gusheng 2333"

Lin Xue glared at Chen Mo's back a little unconvinced, then sat down and started the game again.

...

Days go by, and the deadline is approaching, and major game companies are making serious preparations.

Soon, some game information came out.

Originally, martial arts and Xianxia themes did not attract so much attention in China, but after all, this is also a major event in the game circle, so players all look at it from the mentality of the people who eat melons.

The most eye-catching is the new game "Empower Sword" by Zen Entertainment. Now many trial images and original scenes have been exposed, and players are looking forward to it.

"Swordsman's Love" is a single-player Xianxia game.

Its world view is related to "Legend of Swordsman", which is also to rub against its own IP.

In terms of art, there is nothing to say, the scenes are beautiful, and the character models are also very accurate, basically top-notch.

In terms of combat, "Swordsmanship" is turn-based, and the combat system is also very rich, including various magic weapons, magic weapons, spirit beasts and so on.

In fact, from the technical level, this game can be made into real-time battles, but Yao Yu has considered it for a long time and decided to make it turn-based.

For online games, real-time combat is the mainstream mode, because the battle changes rapidly. If it is turn-based, each player will have a long time to think, and the rhythm of the entire game will be slowed down. Most players can't wait.

But for single-player games, the turn-based game is good. Players don't have to play so anxiously, they can slowly think about and formulate combat strategies. At the same time, for designers, in the monsters, level difficulty, combat system, game rhythm Easier to control, etc.

Like Chen Mo's previous domestic single-player games, real-time battles were available as early as the "Jianxia Love" period, but the problem is that a large part of the players of this type of game are female players and handicapped players. For them, The main fun of this stand-alone game lies in exploring, collecting, developing, and solving puzzles. The coolness of battle is not particularly important. Therefore, the subsequent domestic stand-alone games, such as the "Xianjian" series, also follow the turn-based system, taking into account the investment and return.

Moreover, this is mainly to take care of the preferences of those judges.

For Chen Mo, real-time combat is not impossible, but in terms of the game characteristics of "Wulin Heroes", changing real-time combat means a major change in the entire combat system, and the skill filter, attack effect, etc. are comprehensive. The big change means doubling the workload, and the judges may not like it, which is a thankless thing.

If a large-scale role-playing martial arts game is released in the future, it is more appropriate to do real-time battles with large scenes.

Therefore, Chen Mo and Yao Yu had a tacit understanding on this point and adopted a turn-based fighting method.

The main gimmick of "Inquiry with Swordsman" this time is the plot. This time the game's plot was written by Yao Yu, one of the main creators of "Legend of Swordsman" and the plot designer, and the script has also been revised a lot. Second, is the main selling point of the game.

Although this game is mainly for the judges to see, the player's response is also one of the things that the judges consider.

Therefore, the promotion of Zen Entertainment is terrifying. Various game media, various website advertising spaces, Weibo and major player forums can almost see the promotional materials for "Empower Sword".

Even in some question-and-answer communities, "How to evaluate the new Zen Entertainment game "Ask for Love" has been upvoted, and a few long-arranged answers have quickly gained seven or eight thousand approvals.

Players are also discussing.

"Isn't it too much for Zen Entertainment? I can even see the promotional poster of "Inquiry with the Sword" even when I take the subway?"

"For this first prize, I'm really willing to spare my money!"

"Yao Yu personally handles the knife, this plot will definitely not be bad!"

"My circle of friends is so blown away by this game, I'm convinced."

"Isn't Chen Mo going to do it too? What about his new game? Why is there no movement?"

"Yeah, didn't I say before that Chen Mo would also make a Chinese-style stand-alone game, why can't I see the promotion at all?"

"Chen Mo has never been willing to spend too much money on promotion, it's not like you don't know!"

"Then how do you fight with Zen entertainment! Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys!"

"Hey, UU reading www.uukanshu.com maybe Chen Mo has confidence in his own game. But I really feel like he's going to fall for this time!"

The people who eat melon have speculated that this time, Zen Entertainment has spared no expense, and it should be sure to win this first prize. After all, Zen Entertainment has the deepest accumulation in the Xianxia theme, and considering the tastes of the judges, it is basically difficult for other games to compete with them.

As a result, at this juncture, a Weibo caused an uproar.

Chen Mo: "The theme song "Sword Like a Dream" from the new game "Wulin Heroes" is the first to try it out. I won't tell you that it was sung by Zhou Yifeng."

Below the Weibo is a link, you can listen directly.

As soon as this Weibo was posted, the onlookers were shocked, what the heck? Zhou Yifeng?

That's a first-line singer, with top singing skills!

In fact, some videos of Chen Mo's new game "The Legend of Martial Arts" have already been streamed, and Lin Xue has broadcasted it live for so long, many of Lin Xue's viewers have already seen the game content.

But Xue Lin's audience is only so big. Most players still don't know what game "The Legend of Martial Arts" is, but they only heard that it is a martial arts-themed game.

Many people think that Chen Mo's making this game is the same as other game companies. It is nothing more than just casually making it for the judges of the Tourism Committee to play. He won't take it too seriously, so he doesn't pay that much attention.

As a result, as soon as this Weibo was posted, players discovered that Chen Mo had really invested his money!

Players who had insisted that Chen Mo would not spend too much money on publicity and promotion were immediately slapped in the face. Isn't that spending too much money?

Ask Zhou Yifeng to sing the theme song, which is much more valuable than advertising!

It's too pompous!
