Game designer: I am making games, not charity

Is Platinum & Gold's new game ready?

Looking at the CG video sent by his junior, Zhang Xu was also a little surprised.

You must know that not long ago, Platinum had just produced a phenomenon-level game "League of Legends" that shocked the world.

In such a short period of time, they completed the customized game of Xingyu Project?
I have to say that the efficiency of Platinum Corporation is quite good.

While thinking this way, Zhang Xu reached out and clicked on the video.

In the opening part, the camera wandered around, and after bypassing the murals, it finally landed on an old monk like a monkey.

The old monk told the story of the legendary hero, Wukong.

In his vicissitudes of tone, it seems that the whole story of Journey to the West has become illusory and unreal.

What happened to Monkey King, Monkey King?After traveling westward, did he succeed in cultivation?

A passage from the old monk made Zhang Xu think deeply.

Then, the old monk sighed quietly, and then said: "It all starts with a golden cicada..."

As soon as the words fell, the scenes in the video switched between bright and dark.

Another scene emerges.

After this scene appeared, there was a section of small words below, which specifically stated: "The following content is a recording of the actual machine operation."

Zhang Xu is a senior game designer, of course he knows the meaning of this line.

This means that all the following content is recorded from the game screen.

Complete real machine demonstration!
Seeing this, Zhang Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is Platinum Company, and it never makes lies.

Think about the promotional videos produced by the cooperation between Dini Company and Goose Factory, most of which are deserts and manors in the western world, the scenery and environment of small towns.

Although these things are well done, the playability of the game is extremely low.

In the promotional video, Goose Factory made full use of its strengths and circumvented its weaknesses, completely covering up the single gameplay of the game, and instead gave some ambiguous statements.

For example, in the gameplay of interacting with small town residents, Goose Factory directly said in the promotional video: "In the game, you can communicate with small town residents, trade, and even get married and have children as you like."

But in fact, Zhang Xu knew that it was not the case at all.

The AI ​​of the town residents is completely mechanized, and the questions and answers with the players are basically limited to a dozen or so entries.

As for getting married and having children, that is to say, if you have enough affection with a resident of the opposite sex in a small town, you can let her come to your home, which is what Goose Factory calls getting married.

As for giving birth, it's even less interesting. It's exactly the same as the ranch. After the child is born, buy all kinds of food to raise him. When he arrives, the system will reward him with a sum of money.

Overall, the "Western Cowboy" jointly developed by Disney and Goose Factory is a game that combines the gameplay of "Diamond Farm" and "Diamond Ranch".

Therefore, when Goose Factory advertised, it would naturally not explain the gameplay in too much detail.

In contrast, Platinum Corporation is much more conscientious. In the cg promotional video, apart from the first 2 minutes of fascinating animation, it directly throws out a real machine demonstration.

This is to completely show the playability of the game in front of the eyes of all players, what it looks like in this world, and what the players look like when they play by themselves.

This kind of publicity can really retain players.

Shaking his head and putting aside all these miscellaneous thoughts in his head, Zhang Xu began to look at the cg screen seriously and study the real gameplay of this game.

In the screen, a golden cicada slowly appeared.

It flaps its wings and flies in the air.

The details of this golden cicada are well done, lifelike, even the fluff on its body is clearly visible.

Moreover, when the golden cicada flapped its wings, the vibration of the air was very clear.

Such excellent action details naturally completely attracted Zhang Xu's attention.

"Platinum is worthy of being the leader of domestic game companies. The details of this game are better than Dini's."

However, the following video content began to look relatively dull.

Jin Chan was flying in the sky, passing by a few strange-looking monsters in human clothes.

These monsters walk upright like humans, but their heads are no different from wild beasts, and their bodies are covered with various furs.

As a native of the Great Xia Kingdom, Zhang Xu knew a lot about Journey to the West, so after seeing these monsters, he was not surprised.

But even so, he still secretly praised that the Platinum Company was very careful, and really restored the strange monsters in "Journey to the West".

This game was originally customized by the Game Management Bureau of the Great Xia Kingdom. It was used to promote the national style of the Great Xia Kingdom, and to participate in the Xingyu Project to compete with games from other countries around the world.

The monsters restored by the Platinum Company alone are enough to shock those foreigners who have never seen the world.

However, what Zhang Xu wondered was, where is the protagonist of this game?Where are the players?What role will the player play?
Why is there a bug flying in the video all the time, is the player the bug?
Platinum won't be the same as Goose Factory Dini Company, they have created a flying parkour game with the theme of Journey to the West...

Zhang Xu was puzzled for a while.

Because he paid more attention to the gameplay of the game, he didn't pay much attention to some voiceovers and dialogues with monsters.

He has been working in the goose factory, subconsciously feel that these voice-overs and dialogues are just meaningless embellishments.

After all, it's impossible for this bug to suddenly become a human, interacting with these talking monsters.

But, at the next moment!
The flying golden cicada was spotted by a monster, and the bug's body trembled for a while, and then, it gradually turned into a monkey!
Zhang Xu stared!Mouth opened in shock!
"Damn it, it's really changed!"

Moreover, after the golden cicada turned into a monkey, it held a special stick and started fighting with the surrounding monsters.

His movement is very elegant, during the battle, he moves and dodges, which looks pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, in the gap between dodging and dodging, the monkey stretched out its furry fingers and pointed forward!
A ray of golden light shot out from his finger, instantly immobilizing a monster in the distance!

Then, he directly used the iron rod in his hand to charge up, then leaped high, and dropped the rod, instantly killing the monster with one blow!

Seeing this, Zhang Xu was completely shocked.

In his mind, the supernatural powers of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King in Journey to the West, appeared involuntarily.

72 Transformation and immobilization technique!

Platinum Corporation has actually restored this supernatural power! !
