Chapter 1307 The Choice of Name
It is difficult to come up with a name for this game.
Because its subject is not particularly clear.
The emotional tone of this game designed by Yan Qi should be the sadness of a chaotic world. It is "the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster in a thousand miles." A mustard feeling.
Relatively speaking, it is not suitable to be named after the protagonist's identity or behavior.
Because in the game, players can choose four different identities for the protagonist, and the final endings are also different.
Named after the protagonist's identity, it is difficult to take into account the four different identities. After all, there is a huge gap in the concepts of the four schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. It is difficult to find common ground, and if we find common ground, it may not be appropriate or suitable.
And if it's named after the main character's behavior, it's actually not very good.
Because the attitude of the protagonist depends on the attitude of the player, the attitude of the player may be positive, and the person who takes the initiative to pursue the perfect ending and save the world may also be relatively casual. Rangers are fighting for righteousness, not thinking about changing the world.
Therefore, it is not very good to give the behavior of the protagonist dead.
It can only be named after the tone of the entire culture, highlighting the feeling of this troubled world, emphasizing that players implement their own way and choose their own path in this troubled world.
In addition, the name must have a certain Chinese cultural background, and it cannot be too straightforward, otherwise it will easily dilute the force of the game.
The name of the game has to be easy to remember, and it has to be catchy and not too uncommon.
Yan Qi racked his brains to search his pitiful ancient knowledge, but in the end he found nothing.
Have no idea!
The names that appeared in his mind were either too straightforward and not compelling enough, or were not appropriate enough and were a little off topic.
Yan Qi knew that his level of ancient prose was here, and it was pointless to rack his brains to think about it. He could only turn to the audience outside the venue for help.
But where to go for help?
It's not like writing a novel, but copying book reviews or something.
Go to the player group and ask?
Let the group of players who play the "Blade of Empire" mobile game do this kind of work that is both brain-intensive, technically difficult and very difficult? Yan Qi expressed high suspicion.
Suddenly, he had a flash of light.
How about going live on Bunny Tail?
There are a large group of young scholars and postgraduates in ancient literature on the Tuwei live broadcast!
Although this group of people is not live broadcast every day, but a few liver emperors are often online, isn't it just right to ask for help?
After all, this is a technical job, and a professional is still required.
Thinking of this, Yan Qi immediately turned on Tutail's live broadcast and chose a big guy's live broadcast room.
At this time, the big guy is chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room, from poetry and songs to historical ancient texts.
These scholars usually do not have many people in the live broadcast room. After all, the live broadcast itself is a low information density thing. If it is combined with academics, it is really ineffective to do a live broadcast.
But the collection of their previous lectures has a very high number of broadcasts, and it is still growing.
These scholars can get money by relying on the videos of their lectures, and they can also get money by creating useful APP content. The live broadcast also has some gift income.
More importantly, chatting and sharing knowledge with water friends is also an interesting thing in itself, so several "Liver Emperors" often broadcast live, and they are familiar with each other.
The online name of the scholar in this live broadcast room is Murong Tieshuan. It can be seen from the net name that the person is more spoofed and more humorous. He has spoken ancient prose and some history. He is also one of the liver emperors on the Tuwei live broadcast platform. , is quite popular and is the first choice for many people to hang time.
Yan Qi thought about it for a while, sent some small gifts first, and then posted a barrage saying that he hoped the boss could talk to him and ask for something.
Because there were not many people in the live broadcast room originally, Yan Qi sent some small gifts, so he quickly attracted the attention of Murong Tiesuan, and sent a phone number in a private chat.
Soon, the two got on the phone.
Yan Qi told the story background of this game and put forward a few requirements.
First of all, it is necessary to highlight the sadness of the troubled times.
Secondly, it is best to have allusions, with a certain force and cultural heritage.
Finally, it must be easy to read and remember, not too uncommon, and the name should not be too long.
That is to say, it is necessary to use allusions, but not too much prose. It should not only reflect a certain cultural connotation, but also not be too uncommon.
Murong Tiesuan also fell into contemplation, obviously this requirement is quite high.
But after all, he is a professional, and he has sorted out and summarized related topics when he is writing content for useful apps, so he soon has an idea.
"I can think of two names now, you can choose one for yourself."
"The first name is called "The Great Way Is Hidden"."
"This allusion comes from the Book of Rites, and it talks about two different states of society, one is 'travel on the Dao, the world is public', and the other is 'now the Dao is hidden, the world is home'. "
"The fact that the Great Dao is hidden means that what we are currently living in is not an ideal society, but a society in which everyone is selfish and full of contradictions and struggles.
"In this state, for the sake of power and wealth, ministers murdered their rulers, sons murdered their fathers, brothers killed each other, uncles and nephews murdered each other. Fifty-two of the country's subjugation, the princes are running, and there are innumerable people who cannot protect their crops and crops."
"Of course, the interpretation of this article is more complicated. As an ancient thought, the social outlook it embodies is not completely correct, but it can show what you want to express."
"The second name is, "Millet Li"."
"This allusion comes from "Wang Feng · Millet Li" in the "Book of Songs". It is a poem that touches on the rise and fall of a country."
"'Those who know me say my heart is worried, and those who don't know me say what do I ask for' is from "Millet Li".
"The background of this poem is that a traveler passed by Haojing in the Western Zhou Dynasty and saw the ruins of the ancestral temple palace. Without the prosperity of the city, only a lush millet grows to the fullest, so the subversion of the sympathy for the Zhou Dynasty, I can't bear to go', I write poems to express my feelings about the rise and fall of the country."
"This poem has been around for a long time and has a great influence. As long as later literati wrote epic poems, they often used it, such as Cao Zhi's "Love Poem", Xiang Xiu's "Thinking of the Old Fu", Liu Yuxi's "Wuyi Lane", Jiang Kui "Yangzhou Slow · Huaizuo Famous Capital" and so on."
"Later, this emotion about the rise and fall of the country was called the 'grief of separation'."
"What do you think of these two names? You are the original author. It is up to you to decide which name is more appropriate."
Yan Qi was simply overjoyed.
As expected of a boss, I figured it out so quickly, and there are still two names to choose from!
After thinking about it, he said, "I think "Millet Li" is better."
"On the one hand, it's because "The Great Way is Hidden" is about Confucianism, which is relatively biased, while the game has four systems of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and there can be no obvious tendencies."
"On the other hand, "The Great Way Is Hidden" has four characters, and "Shi Li" has two characters, which is more concise."
"And it suddenly occurred to me that the whole story is fictional, but the historical background can be further premised, which makes people feel that it is in the ancient times, which is more suitable for the background of the name "Millet Li"."
"Thank you so much!"
Murong Tiesuan smiled: "It's nothing, it's a small effort. You decided to make a game with a Chinese background, which is a good thing, and I'm looking forward to it too!"
"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me, I am very happy to answer!"
After a thousand thanks, Yan Qi withdrew from the live broadcast room.
Yan Qi had always thought that Tuwei Live was an alternative live broadcast platform, but at this critical moment, he found out that it is really useful!
There is also the useful APP that is matched with Tuwei Live. When you really want to do something serious, you can really find the answer you want in a specific professional field.
The only pity is that the filling speed of the content on the useful APP is still too slow, which makes people a little impatient. After all, it involves knowledge from all walks of life, and requires professionals to enter it bit by bit. This is a manual labor.
The name was finalized, and Yan Qi took some time to complete the design concept draft of "Millet Li".
He even thought of a promotional image for the game.
An ordinary person who has no other ability, enters a troubled world, sees demons rampant, and the people are struggling, and naturally has a feeling of compassion.
The back of the protagonist is walking forward with a sword in the ruins of a palace full of lush millet seedlings, and in the distance is a pale red sky where demons are haunting and smoke is everywhere.
Many details that had not been determined before were also smoothed out by the way.
However, Yan Qi soon realized a more serious problem, that is, the size of this game seems to be a bit too big.
Completely beyond the scope of my small studio can bear!
Of course, if you have to engage in extreme operations, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible.
Under the premise that there is an official editor and the technical level has been greatly improved, everyone in the studio is working overtime, and then sells iron, smashes all the income from the previous "Blade of Empire", or mortgages the house. Category……
Maybe it can be developed, but the time is not very sure.
It may be a year, it may be two or three years or even longer.
This is still under the premise that there is an official editor and the game development time is greatly shortened.
However, doing so would be a bit too much.
Or, it was too stupid to leave no way out for himself at all.
Yan Qi felt that he couldn't be as stubborn as a stupefied young man, so he had to think of other ways.
For example... pull investment, recruit people?
Now his side is a bit lacking in terms of money and people. Forcibly developing it, if the quality of the game produced is not up to standard, isn't it a waste of a good idea?
If this idea is only a semi-finished product, it will make Yan Qi very painful.
Recruiting people is relatively easy to say, after all, it is all about money.
