Genius Game Planning

Chapter 213 The name of the first game co-produced with foreign forces is finalized
"You can't convince me. There are more things I want to change. The key is, can you accept it?" Liu Neng said haha.

"It's not important, or in other words, it's already an issue that doesn't need special discussion." Abel was a little sullen. At present, the game has reached the brink of death, but Liu Neng's planned transformation is more like accelerating the death. process.

Liu Neng didn't look at his expression much, and continued, "I plan to add two new attribute values, namely hunger and san value."

"I can understand the hunger level. If you don't eat, the hunger level will drop. The general way to deal with it is that when the hunger level drops to zero, if you can't replenish food, your blood will be deducted. The key is, what is this San value? What’s the use?”

"It's the mental value. When the player's character's mental value decreases, it will fall into a crazy mode. In the crazy mode, there will be many mental hallucinations and fights with imaginary monsters."

"Isn't that supposed to be the energy value? energy! Why do you use the word San, which you've never seen before?"

"It's not important." Liu Neng said, "I hope to use these two values ​​to control the character's state, to supplement food, and to keep my spirit in a better state. There are many ways to affect the San value. For example, if it rains and gets wet, staying in the dark for a long time will also reduce the san value, and eating disgusting rotten food will also affect it, and for example, failing to make a tool many times in a row will also affect it.”

"I think this game will become too difficult after you transform it like this, and it is no longer suitable for normal people to play."

Liu Neng chuckled and said, "Many players have a sadistic personality, or Stockholm Syndrome. You just torture them severely. The more you torture them, the happier they will be."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered some things, some games, such as something about the word soul, and he smiled again, "Anyway, you just listen to me. If you change it like this, many players will like it." of this game."

Abel was silent, of course he was skeptical.He picked up the portrait that Liu Neng had drawn casually just now, and looked at it for quite a long time, thinking about that scene in his mind, just this kind of villain, in a gray-scale space of a person, constantly struggling to survive , keep looking for food, looking for all kinds of things to increase your San value, to fight, to hide from the rain, to keep looking for wood to avoid nightfall and not be able to sleep soundly.

Just thinking about this game experience makes me feel so sad.

But it seems that this villain should explore this unknown world.

At present, most sandbox games do not have a clear theme, but according to his transformation, it seems that it can indeed be regarded as a sandbox game. The gameplay of destruction and construction still exists in the game. of.It’s just that there was no goal before, but now it is constantly working towards the goal of “survival”, forcing players to build, tame, explore and create.

Fighting monsters and exploring caves before were actually very easy.But once, the props are still on the body after death, every time you enter, you will get a little improvement, and one day you will be able to open the cave.

But the game after the transformation is different, so we must be careful.If you take one wrong step, you will die without a way out. It is not just as simple as losing the previous props, but everything you have paid for it is so "the past is like smoke".

Can players really accept this kind of sandbox game?
Abel was very suspicious.

"I think I really can't give you an answer right now, even though this game is already on the verge of death." Abel still couldn't give his answer directly in the end, "Maybe tomorrow, maybe later, I can give you an answer." You answer."

Liu Neng shrugged his shoulders, "It's not important, I'm just giving you a suggestion. In addition, what I want to say is that if you decide not to do it, I would like to form a team to continue making this game. You know, I have a very large production team in China, and their execution is very strong."

Abel smiled, "Of course I know, but even so, I need time to think about it."

"The transformation method you mentioned makes me feel a little weird. I have never seen a game that abuses players for fun. But after thinking about it, I think this design seems to have merit. "

In the afternoon, the two were invited to the ibal headquarters again. Curry told them that as a result of the meeting, they agreed to pay a sum of $500 million for this.

Liu Neng was quite satisfied with this. In fact, he did think it was a temporary idea, but as he said, he didn't think it was an excessive thing.He always believes that he and ibal have an equal cooperative relationship, and he does not need to rely on ibos to advertise for himself to increase his popularity.

Of course, it is undeniable that this is very helpful for him to open up foreign markets.

After getting the contract, I faxed a copy to China, and let the domestic lawyers check whether there is any problem with the contract.After confirmation, the cooperation agreement was successfully signed.

It stands to reason that this trip to the United States, the serious business has actually been completed.

However, regarding Abel's vacillation, he decided to stay for a day, refine the design of the game, and completely dispel Abel's sloppy thoughts.

The next day, Liu Neng threw the design plan to Abel with dark circles, "This is the overall design plan, including the setting of the world view, the setting of some characters and stick figures. I have already set up various gameplays. .If that doesn't make you up, I hope my next sentence will do it as soon as possible."

Abel opened his mouth wide, "Did you write it last night? It's incredible, can you finish these settings in one night? I don't believe that you just want to change my game on a whim , On the contrary, I had an idea long ago, and I just took advantage of this opportunity to say it..."

"These are not important. If you decide, I plan to invest 200 million US dollars in your company, let you recruit new employees, and then make the game for sale as soon as possible. Profit is the first priority, isn't it?"

Abel said seriously, "Mr. Liu Neng, I am very grateful to be able to cooperate with you, and I cherish this opportunity of cooperation. You let me see a completely different world, and also changed my attitude towards Huaxia. People's opinions. I can give you my answer now, that is, I am willing to remake this game in your way."

"But one very important thing is that the previous title of the game "Omnipotent" is no longer suitable. After all, here, almost anything the character does can lead to death. I hope you can give this game a new name. !"

"Don't Starve"

"As expected, your name is really casual!" Abel laughed loudly.
