This is the ninth art

Chapter 127 How can the game plot be so grand?The first appearance of the Twelve Apostles!
Junyue's executives briefly read the two game plans.

From framework to setting, art suggestion, map guidance, character and skill presets, etc., as always, most of the details were included, which made the heads of various departments start to be a little worried about Chu Jun's body while being amazed.

Junyue is a company that is very different from other companies.

Although all departments are talented elites in the game industry, almost all of them have to rely on Mr. Chu alone for the development of the game.

Once Mr. Chu collapsed due to overwork, his subordinates could only stare blankly.

"Mr. Chu develops games with such high intensity...the body can't bear it..." Some employees looked at the nearly [-]-word detailed plan, with a little worry in their eyes.

"I feel that Mr. Chu's diet and daily life are not very regular. I often see him eating steamed stuffed buns in the morning, and sometimes he just comes to the company without eating anything in order to catch up with the schedule. Occasionally, he will eat fast food with our employees at noon and evening." As the person who had the most contact with Chu Jun in the company, Xu Nianqing frowned slightly, feeling a little distressed.

"Speaking of which, in private, I haven't seen Mr. Chu talking about his girlfriend. My house is relatively close to Mr. Chu. I met Mr. Chu several times on the road during the break. Every time he was alone, look at this house. shop, looking around that shop, I feel pitiful. It would be great if I could find a girl to take care of him."

An employee's voice just fell.

Everyone turned their attention to the little loli at the side.

Tang Wangyue was on a short errand, playing with her fingernails.Suddenly everyone in the conference room was silent, she looked up in surprise and found that everyone was looking at her.

"Look at what I'm doing..."

"Speaking of which, among all the employees in our company, only Mochizuki was recommended by President Chu, right?"

"What's the relationship between Mochizuki and Mr. Chu? They can't be cousins, right?"

"I seem to have bumped into Mochizuki at the gate of Mr. Chu's neighborhood a few times before. We are in the same neighborhood as Mr. Chu, could it be..."

"Also, in Junyue Company, there is a word for month, tsk tsk tsk."

A group of people pressed tightly, Tang Wangyue blushed and waved her hands.

"No...no..."

Seeing the disbelieving eyes of a group of people, she sighed helplessly again.

Fully explain the situation.

When they first heard that Tang Wangyue was living with Chu Jun, a group of people suddenly said, "Huh? ' bad laugh.

But later, I heard Tang Wangyue say that Mr. Chu is not close to women at all. Apart from playing games and developing games at home, everyone's expression is dumbfounded.

"Damn... There are really people who are not close to women... President Chu is really a saint." Peng Yuyan said dumbfounded.

Zhao Bingbing snorted: "Do you think that everyone is like you, boss Chu, this is called clean, and women will only affect the speed of his game development!"

"Is there a possibility? Mr. Chu just doesn't like Lolita? Let Xiao Songjia go. Xiao Songjia is between Lolita and women."

Song Jia, the younger sister at the front desk, shook her head with a flushed face: "I can't do it, besides serving tea and water, I also help sign a courier...I can't even cook..."

"Speaking of..." Xu Nianqing paused for a moment before opening his mouth and said: "I know a girlfriend who is very beautiful, like everyone's lady. She has a very gentle personality, speaks in a soft voice, and is also very good at cooking. The house is cleaned up every day, and every time I go to her house to play, I am afraid that I will make her house dirty... Then she works as a translator, proficient in the languages ​​of seven or eight countries, her income is good, and her family is also very wealthy."

"That's good, that's good! A template for a good wife!" The employees booed one after another.

Looking at a group of employees who are very concerned about Mr. Chu's love affair, Ling Tianhang was dumbfounded.

"Ahem." Coughing twice, drawing the employees' attention back to him, Ling Tianhang said: "Let's put these things aside, let's start the game development first. President Chu must also hope that we can release the game as soon as possible." Production is on the agenda.”

"As for the plan of the Houkai Academy, I will hand it over to Director Chen of the Jiangzhong Branch. Do you have any questions from Director Chen?"

"No problem, Mr. Ling! I happen to be very interested in the lottery system that Mr. Chu mentioned! I will find a way to improve it!" At the other end of the video, Chen Pingjie was gearing up.

President Chu had developed several stand-alone games before, all of which were buyouts, which made Chen Pingjie deeply regretful.

Now it's finally the turn of online games, Chen Pingjie is impatient.

"Okay, next is the framework of dungeons and warriors." After Chen Pingjie hung up the video and started to arrange the work of the Jiangzhong branch, Ling Tianhang lowered his head and turned to the first page of the proposal.

When he quickly browsed the content of the plan just now, he found a problem.

"Mr. Chu has proposed a new concept this time, an end-style online game, that is, an online game with an ending. This is the first time I've heard of this concept."

"First of all, the advantages of end-game online games are very obvious. It will not be like other online games that release new versions and write plots at the same time, which is prone to eating books."

"Secondly, players' evaluation of online games has always been lower than that of stand-alone games. If the online game can also be completed, it will continue to be updated to deepen the player's sense of expectation for the ending. According to Mr. Chu, there will be no end-game online games. The mid-to-late stage is weak, on the contrary, the later the game, the more enthusiastic players are waiting for the final version to come."

"However, there are shortcomings, because if there is an end to online games, players may not be willing to spend money. President Chu did not mention the solution in the plan. Do you have any opinions? You can discuss it."

If you say that you don't want to make money by making online games that are continuously updated, that's nonsense.

But the end-game online game will undoubtedly affect the proportion of players' krypton gold.

After all, players don't know how many versions of your online game can be made in the future. If I charge money now, even if I dominate the whole server, how many versions can I enjoy?
Junyue's high-level executives had another heated discussion on this, but in the end they failed to come up with a suitable solution.

It seems that there is a conflict between end-game online games and krypton gold.

This may also be the reason for all online games on the market, there are only staged plot endings, and there is no real reason for the plot to end.

Not to mention online games, even stand-alone games, if they sell well, will expand the content in all directions from the main perspective of the prequel, postquel, and other characters in the game.

But the plan given by Mr. Chu this time clearly stated that "Dungeon and Warriors" is an end-to-end online game, and after the version is released, no expanded version will be released.

This made Ling Tianhang a little surprised.

"Could it be that Mr. Chu didn't count these things himself?" Ling Tianhang thought in his heart.

Perhaps it was the high-intensity creation that exhausted Mr. Chu physically and mentally, which led to such small mistakes?

It's not incomprehensible.

After all, the employees have just received the plan, and there is still time to change it in the near future.

Wait until the general direction is towards the end-style online game, and then make amends at that time, the plot line running through the game itself will appear very blunt and strange.

"Okay, it's not too early today, everyone will take a closer look at the proposal after returning home, and think about it carefully to see how to neutralize the conflict between the ending online game and the player's krypton gold. Let's end the meeting." Ling Tianhang looked up. Glancing at his watch, it was late in the evening, and he invited an old friend to dinner at night, so he announced the end of the meeting, but he still tried his best to tell everyone to review the plan after returning home.

----

Corner tavern.

Ling Tianhang did not choose to take his old friend whom he had known for more than [-] years to a high-end hotel.

It is also a kind of style to watch the bustling passers-by on the street through the glass window while drinking wine.

"Why did you suddenly think of Jiang Hua?" Ling Tianhang smiled as he poured wine for Zhao Min.

"The publishing house has moved to Jianghua, so I must come along and visit you along the way." Zhao Min reached out and tapped the table lightly: "Enough is enough, I can't drink so much, and your siblings will have to chatter when they go back."

"Chief editor Zhao came to Jianghua to make a fortune."

Facing Ling Tianhang's smile, Zhao Min sighed slightly: "It's not as good as it was back then. Especially the market for fantasy novels is going from bad to worse. My monthly income is probably not as high as your commission for making games. I should have known back then. Messed with you."

"Even the editor-in-chief of the largest fantasy novel publishing house in the country is just making a living, and the fantasy writers in China may starve to death." Ling Tianhang laughed again.

"Oh, the market is down, there is no way." Zhao Min picked up the small wine glass, raised his head and took a sip, then frowned subconsciously, and then smacked his lips when the hotness subsided: "Brother Hang, the wind has been smooth recently. The news about Junyue Company has been seen everywhere, and it is in full swing."

"I rely on our company's Mr. Chu, and my old face is also honored." Ling Tianhang said humbly, and then thought of something: "By the way, Lao Zhao, can you help me read the project? Just read the plot part."

Ling Tianhang has been troubled by the conflict between end-game online games and players' consumption, but he doesn't know whether Mr. Chu is resting now, so he dare not disturb too much.

When he got off work, he asked Song Jia to print out the game plot and settings for himself, and was going to go home and study it carefully.

If you want to perfectly solve the contradiction, art, sound effects, maps, and skills and moves are all secondary. Only by making players have a sense of substitution can they really retain players.

The painting style of The Witch's House is not high-quality, but it wins because of the combination of novel game settings and plot.

Right now there is a ready-made publishing house editor-in-chief sitting here.

Being idle is also idle, so it is not a bad idea to ask Zhao Min to help read the manuscript.

An old friend who has been with him for more than 20 years, Ling Tianhang knows that Zhao Min behaves properly and will not do anything out of the ordinary.

It's just that some literati look down on each other more or less. As long as a layman mentions literature, it is easy to arouse his contempt.

However, Zhao Min's twenty years of editing experience is not in vain, and the opinions mentioned are also very old-fashioned.

Of course, Ling Tianhang also kept the company's rules in mind.

I only took out a few short pages of the plot text and some game settings, and I would like to ask Zhao Min for reference.

"Game plot?"

as predicted.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Minwen committed the mistake of underestimating others, and immediately smiled and shook his head: "Brother Hang, it's not that I don't want to help you watch it, but where is the plot of the game?"

"Isn't most of them cut all the way to the end, and then keep getting equipment and upgrading?"

"Although many new game types have been released in recent years, and I have occasionally learned about some of them, the so-called fighting games, tower defense games, the plots are very short and concise. There is also the Dyson ball, which is relatively popular these days. Made in Mario, my son is playing these two games, and I watched them, but there are almost no plots. There are only a few short narrations.”

"In my opinion, it's more like a last resort, and I made up a story that fits the background of the game."

It's not surprising that Zhao Min views the game industry this way.

In the eyes of most laymen, the niche culture of games is a fringe culture that has no plot and relatively empty forms of expression, and is purely for pleasing players.

"You read it first, I'm worried about giving you some advice, but I can't figure out what the problem is. Mr. Chu is also busy recently, so I'm sorry to bother him." Ling Tianhang took out a small stack of A4 orders from his bag. paper, on the table.

"Brother Hang, let's put it this way, I'm here today just to have a drink and chat with you. I have to vomit every day when I review manuscripts at work, so please let me go." Zhao Min said with a wry smile.

"Just take a look, it's a fantasy background, your old job."

Seeing Ling Tianhang's insistence, Zhao Min sighed helplessly.

"Let's talk about it first. I'll help you read it casually. If the story is really bad, don't blame me for speaking straight."

While speaking, he picked up a few pages of plot paper on the table.

I have already made up my mind.

Just glance at it casually, and say something polite.

He does not deny that Junyue is an excellent game company.

But the game insists on getting involved with the plot of the novel...

It is suggested that it is better to let the players start playing with some narration as before.

After all, there are specialties in the art industry, and games and novels are two different cultures and arts.

His eyes flicked to the A4 paper.

The naming of "Dungeon and Fighter" already made him frown.

this name...

warrior……

It feels a bit like a fantasy novel decades ago.

Could it be the story of a dragon-slaying hero... After the explosion of western-style fantasy novels represented by "The Lord of the Rings", elements such as warriors, dragons, and goblins are interspersed in almost every fantasy novel.

After so many years, readers are almost vomiting.

Sweeping his gaze down quickly, Zhao Min was about to scribble and finish the job at a glance.

But the wedge at the beginning of the text made his eyes pause slightly.

"In the beginning of time there was the Great Will, and the Dark Will was separated from the Great and opposed to it."

"After a devastating battle, the Dark Will was crushed into countless fragments."

"Twelve of the fragments began to look for new hosts in the universe. They each found a new residence and survived there. Through their own powerful form ability, they became the supreme controllers of the new residence, endowed by all creatures. A brand new title—Apostle!"

"Tianjiao Prey"

"Conqueror Iker Casillas"

"Stalker Sherlock"

"Black Disaster Di Ruiji"

"Flame Devourer Anton"

"Long-legged Roots"

"Explosive Dragon King Bacal"

"God of Chaos, Ozma"

"Saint Michael"

"Fateful Kahn"

"Crying Eye, Herder"

"The Maker Luke"

"Almighty Celia"

"And the story of an adventurer starts with a catastrophe caused by the apostles. The plague swept across the continent of Arad, like a purgatory on earth, and the common people are in dire straits. At this point, humans sounded the clarion call to attack the twelve apostles..."

……

The short wedge of less than 300 words made Zhao Min's eyes widen, and a look of interest climbed on his face.

Three hundred words!The writer of this game copy only used three hundred words!A huge and imaginative fantasy world view was built for him!Successfully attracted his attention!

Different from the dragon-slaying story that is almost spit out in traditional fantasy, the opening chapter of this fantasy background directly pulls the perspective to the scope of the universe.

Moreover, he created a set of fresh fantasy system.

He first told the readers that there is a powerful being in the universe called the Great Will.

But just this is not enough.

Who wouldn't name it?
What is the watcher of the universe, the controller of order, I can also say that he is the most powerful existence in the universe, which sounds even more powerful than the "great will".

is that useful?
It's useless, readers have no sense of substitution for these things.

But then, he immediately began to use profile descriptions to tell readers where the "great will" is strong.

The first is that the 'Dark Will' is separated from the 'Great Will' and forms an antagonistic relationship.

At this point, the strength of the great will has been weakened by nearly half.

And in the devastating battle, the dark will was crushed by the great will and shattered into 12 pieces.

It is equivalent to half of the strength of the great will, divided into twelve parts.

And the new lives transformed from these twelve fragments can all become overlord characters in their respective worlds.

Such titles as Tianjiao, Saint, and God of Chaos sound very awesome.

But no matter how powerful they are, they are only 1/12 of half the strength of the great will
In just a few words, the strength of the 'great will' is directly highlighted from the side.

This point alone gave Zhao Min an incomparably wide room for reverie.

He was tired of watching dragons and all kinds of western myths.

This eye-catching setting is indeed a bit interesting.

And immediately, the writer of the game plot added such an incident in the next sentence, which was also the closing paragraph of the wedge, which completely ignited Zhao Min's curiosity!

A plague caused by the apostles can make weak humans unable to survive.

But human beings actually decided to declare war on the awesome 12 apostles?

How to fight this?
How can this be fought?
On one side is the apostle who represents the strongest power.

On the other side are human beings who are weak enough to be crushed easily, like ants.

The writer only used [-] words, and the strong sense of contrast instantly appeared on the paper!

The disparity between the two sides was so great that Zhao Min couldn't wait to turn to the next page.
