Chapter 1307 The choice of name
It is difficult to name this game.

Because its subject is not particularly clear.

The emotional tone of this game designed by Yan Qi should be the sadness of troubled times. It feels like nothing.

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 identity of the protagonist, it is difficult to take into account the four different identities. After all, there is a huge gap in the philosophy of the four schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and soldiers. It is difficult to find common ground. If they find common ground, it may not be appropriate or suitable enough.

And if it is named after the protagonist's behavior, it is actually not very good.

Because the protagonist's attitude depends on the player's attitude. The player's attitude may be positive, actively pursuing the perfect ending and saving people in this world, or it may be relatively casual. Rangers are fighting for justice, not thinking about changing the world.

Therefore, it is not very good to prescribe the behavior of the protagonist to death.

It can only be named after the overall cultural tone, highlighting the feeling of this chaotic world, and emphasizing that players should implement their own way and choose their own path in this chaotic world.

In addition, the name must have a certain Chinese cultural heritage, and it cannot be too straightforward, otherwise it will easily dilute the game's compelling style.

The name of the game has to be easy to remember, catchy, and not too unfamiliar.

Yan Qi racked his brains to scrape his poor knowledge of ancient Chinese, but in the end he found nothing.

Have no idea!

The few names that appeared in his mind were either too straightforward and not compelling enough, or not appropriate enough and somewhat off topic.

Yan Qi knew that his level of ancient prose had reached this point, and there was no point in racking his brains, so 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, and you can copy book reviews or something.

Ask in the player group?

Let the group of players who play the mobile game "Blade of Empires" do this kind of brain-consuming, technically difficult and high-level work?Yan Qi expressed high suspicion.

Suddenly, he had a flash of light.

How about live streaming at Rabbittail?
There is a large group of young scholars and graduate students in ancient Chinese at the live broadcast of Tuwei!

Although this group of people does not broadcast live every day, there are a few liver emperors who are often online, so it is good to ask for help?
After all, this is a technical job, and it still needs to be done by professionals.

Thinking of this, Yan Qi immediately turned on the live broadcast of Tuwei, and chose the live broadcast room of a big boss.

At this time, the boss was chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room, from poetry to ancient prose.

These scholars usually don’t have a lot of people in the live broadcast room. After all, live broadcast itself is a kind of thing with low information density. If it is combined with academics, live broadcast is really ineffective.

But the collection of their previous lectures has a very high volume of playback, 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 making useful APP content, and they can also get some gift income from live broadcasts.

More importantly, chatting with water friends and sharing knowledge is also a relatively interesting thing in itself, so there are several "liver emperors" who often broadcast live, and they are all familiar.

The online name of the scholar in this live broadcast room is Murong Tieshuan. You can tell from the online name that he is more spoof and humorous. He has talked about ancient Chinese and some history. He can be regarded as one of the liver emperors on the rabbit tail live broadcast platform. , is very popular, and is the first choice for many people to hang up for a long time.

Yan Qi thought for a while, first gave a small gift, and then sent a barrage saying that he hoped that the boss could talk to him and ask for help.

Because there were not many people in the live broadcast room, Yan Qi gave some small gifts, which quickly attracted Murong Tieshuan's attention, and sent a phone number in private chat.

Soon, the two talked on the phone.

Yan Qi told the story background of this game, and put forward several requirements.

First of all, it is necessary to highlight the sense of sadness in troubled times.

Secondly, it is best to have allusions, a certain force and cultural background.

Finally, it should be easy to read and remember, not too unfamiliar, and the name should not be too long.

That is to say, allusions must be used, but they must not be overly drawn, and they must reflect a certain cultural connotation without being too uncommon.

Murong Tieshuan was also lost in thought, obviously this requirement is quite high.

But after all, he is a professional, and he sorted out and summarized related topics when making content for useful apps, so he quickly came up with ideas.

"I can think of two names now, you can choose one yourself."

"The first one is titled, "The Dao Is Hidden."

"This allusion comes from the "Book of Rites", and it talks about two different states of society, one is 'walking the road, the world is public', and the other is 'now the road is hidden, the world is home'. "

"Since the Dao is hidden, it means that the current society is not an ideal society, but a society where everyone is for himself, selfish, full of contradictions and struggles. It is a terrible fact that 'the incumbent will go, and everyone thinks disaster'."

"In this state, for the sake of power and wealth, people kill their kings, sons kill their fathers, brothers kill each other, and uncles and nephews kill each other. Just like the "Spring and Autumn" records, 36 kings are killed, 52 countries are destroyed , the feudal lords are running around, and those who fail to protect their country are innumerable."

"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 express what you want to express."

"The second title is, "Mili"."

"This allusion comes from "Wang Feng Mi Li" in "The Book of Songs". It is a poem that expresses the rise and fall of a country."

"'Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want' is from "Xiao Li"."

"The background of this poem is that a traveler passed through Haojing in the Western Zhou Dynasty and saw the ruins of the ancestral temple palace. Without the prosperity and prosperity of the city, there was only a piece of lush millet seedlings growing to their heart's content. I can't bear to go', I wrote poems to express my feelings about the rise and fall of the country."

"This poem has been handed down for a long time and has a great influence. As long as the literati of later generations wrote epic poems, they would often continue to use them, such as Cao Zhi's "Love Poem", Xiang Xiu's "Reminiscing the Old Fu", Liu Yuxi's "Black Clothes Lane", Jiang Kui "Yangzhou Slow Huaizuo Famous Capital" and so on."

"Later, this feeling of mourning the rise and fall of the country was called 'Sorrow of Mili'."

"What do you think of these two names? You are the original author, so it's up to you to decide which name is more appropriate."

Yan Qi was simply overjoyed.

As expected of a boss, I thought it up so quickly, and there are still two names to choose from!

After thinking about it, he said, "I think "Shu Li" is better."

"On the one hand, it's because "The Great Dao is Hidden" talks about Confucianism, which is relatively biased, and in the game there are four systems of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and soldiers, so there should be no obvious inclinations."

"On the other hand, "Da Dao Ji Yin" has four characters, and "Shu Li" has two characters, which is more concise."

"And it suddenly occurred to me that the whole story is superficial, but the historical background can be further premised, making people feel that it is in a relatively long ancient time, which is more suitable for the background of the name "Shu Li."

"Thank you so much!"

Murong Tieshuan smiled: "It's nothing, it's easy. It's a good thing that you decided to make a game with a Chinese background, and I'm looking forward to it too!"

"If you have any questions in the future, you can always ask me, I am very happy to answer!"

After being thankful, Yan Qi withdrew from the live broadcast room.

Before Yan Qi always thought that Tuwei Live was an alternative live broadcast platform, but he discovered it at this critical moment, it is really useful!

There is also the useful app that comes with the Tuwei live broadcast. 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 an individual effort.

After the name was finalized, Yan Qi spent some more time to complete the design concept draft of "Shu Li".

He even thought up a promotional image for the game.

An ordinary person with nothing else to do, entered the troubled times, and saw the rampant monsters and the people's livelihood, so he naturally felt a kind of compassion.

The back of the protagonist walks forward with a sword in the ruins of a palace full of lush millet seedlings, while in the distance is a light red sky full of demons and gunpowder.

Many details that were not confirmed before have been smoothed out by the way.

However, Yan Qi soon realized a more serious problem, that is, the size of the game seemed a bit too big.

It's completely beyond the range that my small studio can bear!
Of course, if you have to engage in extreme operations, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible.

On the premise that there is an official editor, and the technical level has been greatly improved, everyone in the studio will work overtime, and then spend all the income from the previous "Blade of the Empire" in it, or mortgage the house again. Category……

Maybe it can be developed, but the time is not very sure.

It may be a year, or 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 effort.

In other words, he was so stupid that he didn't leave a way out for himself at all.

Yan Qi felt that he couldn't be as stubborn as a stunned young man, so he had to think of other ways.

For example... soliciting investment and recruiting people?
Now his side is a little short of money and people, forcing development, 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.

The matter of recruiting people is relatively easy to talk about, after all, it is money in the final analysis.
