Game Development Giant

Of course, Runestone Guardian can only be considered a low-end game, but it is indeed sold on Steam at the price of a low-end game.

Let’s get back to it.

Immortals are originally a group of very strange creatures. They all praise the delicious creatures loudly after eating a piece of Xiang. Therefore, you cannot think about them with the thinking of normal people, otherwise you will not be able to understand many of their strange things. the behavior of.

But having said that, the most important thing about a game is its quality. You can’t say that the quality is not good if it doesn’t use a good engine.

That's right.

Fairy Sword 6 is an RPG game. It is an RPG game. You sell pictures without pictures, sell systems without systems, and sell plots without plots. Of course, Xiansun does not admit that Fairy Sword 6 has no plot. They think Fairy Sword 6 has no plot. The plot is so messed up that it's a no-brainer.

Haha, if the people behind Fairy Sword have the ability to write a novel-level plot, then the plot of Fairy Sword is really worth mentioning.

But it’s reality, haha.

Then add a plot selling point to Sword and Sword 6 according to the requirements of the immortals and grandsons.

Then what?

what else?

Artist? Standing painting? His level of vertical painting cannot even reach the second-tier level in China. Of course, the immortals and grandsons say that sincerity is enough, haha, how can you call it sincerity if you don’t even shake your breasts? If you are sincere, you are paralyzed.

By the way, there is also ancient music that is often played by the immortals and grandchildren.

Okay, that counts as music.

But for a game, only the BG and plot are the selling points, so why would he have the nerve to call himself an RPG? Why doesn't he call himself a gal?

I think gal is indeed a good choice for Yao Xians.

What is sincerity in a game? Sincerity is to do the best possible, to be precise, to try our best. Unfortunately, it comes from Yao Zhuangxian. What Jester saw at the beginning was just overdraft consumption for feelings, and players’ expectations and support for domestic games.

It is also in this consumer sentiment again and again.

Domestic games are dead.

Of course, what the immortals and grandsons often say is that there were many, many better Sword and Sword 1 back then, but now we buy games for the sake of emotion and to pay off debts.

Jester does not deny that Fairy Sword 1 is a qualified game, and he also bought Fairy Sword 5 to pay off his debts, but what bothers him the most is what the immortals say every day, Fairy Sword 1 was also about time. The best game ever.

Faced with this, Jester could only laugh.

Jester didn't even need to look it up. With your eyes closed, you can tell that there are at least nine RPG games in the same era as Fairy Sword 1, which completely surpassed Fairy Sword 1 in every aspect, and they are all Japanese-style RPGs, not American-style RPGs and Diablo. 's first work.

For example, Final Fantasy 6, Sword of Mana 3, Saga 3, CT, Treasure Hunter G. Secret Treasure of Lulado, Legend of the Holy Dragon, Emperor Knight 2, Journey of Time and Space...

There are simply countless games like this.

Whether it's a sticker. In terms of plot, special effects, mazes and even systems, they are really ahead of Sword and Fairy 1 by too many. It is not a game of the same level at all. After all, Japanese RPGs have been played for more than ten years. You have already studied it thoroughly, but you still use Japanese gameplay to make a game type that Japanese are bad at. Isn’t this humiliating yourself?

Of course, whenever Jester criticizes Xian Sun, Xian Sun will always say, what do you know, Sword of Sword 1 is a PC game, and these are console games you are talking about.

At this time, Jester had to take out the Sword of Sword 1 CD that he had carefully preserved on the Sega SS at that time and slapped it on the faces of the immortals. You must know that the most perfect version of Sword of Sword 1 was on the Sega SS. The quality on the console is comparable to the PC version.

But what about sales, haha.

Not only that, Xian Sun's personality is despicable not only in this aspect, but also in his contempt for his own similar games, such as the Gu Jian Qi Tan series.

Jester remembered when he was watching the forum of immortals and grandchildren.

I often see posts like this.

Both of them are mocking the Gu Jian Qi Tan series. In fact, there is no need for the immortals and grandsons. In fact, both are domestically produced, so why bother drinking each other? Secondly, although the production level of Gu Jian Qi Tan has not improved much, But it can still be seen that the producer really put his heart into making it.

Much better than Yao Zhuangxian and others, at least in terms of mentality and sincerity, this group of people can compare.

For example, Jester had seen such a post about the immortal grandson at that time.

I feel bad that my neighbor is still planning a project after two years. Do you really think there is still Dream 3... Then someone immediately followed, Aren't you working on ol?, Ol will die in the light of day! and other messages. First of all, if you are always praying that games of the same type as yours will be aborted.

His narrow-mindedness is evident.

But it is a pity that Gu Jian 3 made a statement soon and the news will be announced in July.

Jester himself is not a fan of Gu Jian Qi Tan. Even when talking about domestic games with friends, he has not played the Gu Jian Qi Tan series a few times. However, these are all jokes. The graphics of the first game of Sword and Legend are only at the level of Japan's PS2. For example, the combat system of the second part of Sword and Legend is really inexperienced and has no sense of impact or even feel.

Of course, domestic games have the courage to abandon the turn-based system that they have used for so many years and enter the embrace of real-time system. This is a great courage.

The courage to take an unfamiliar road that he has never walked before is also worthy of admiration. Therefore, Jester bought a copy of Gu Jian Qi Tan 2 without hesitation, even though he had played the demo I later found the game not very fun.

The founder of turn-based RPGs.

When Dragon Quest has embraced the real-time system, why do those copycats still cling to the turn-based system?

Of course, the game system is not good or bad.

Whether it's a turn-based system or a real-time system, it's the same. You can only do it in a fun way. Which one should you use?

But then again.

If turn-based games can really be fun, why do the two benchmarks of turn-based games, one ff and one dq, completely abandon the turn-based system at about the same time? This is a problem that game developers need to seriously think about.

Jester recovered from this period of contemplation.

Only then did he see a game following Daewoo, which was a PC game. Jester looked at the introduction and realized that it was the original Monopoly, which actually made Jester ponder.

To be honest, what he hated was Yao and the fairy sword who later relied on emotions to cheat money. He didn't have any special feelings about Daewoo.

Of course, he also hates Xuanyuan Sword.

But he does have a soft spot for the game Monopoly. Jester had a great time playing this game on a DOS computer when he was new to it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have played it back then. This game is copied on PC.

However, this game and the license that Aester originally obtained have expired. Three games have been developed, and the sales are pretty good.

Unexpectedly, Daewoo has now made another game of the same type with a very Asian or Wanwan style.

But nothing.

Jester is a sweet-tempered person, so he didn't even look at the game, so he directly added an unoriginal comment in the opinion column. With this comment, Daewoo wanted to get it The qualification to participate in this e3 exhibition is just a wash.

impossible.

Then Jester originally planned to ask his assistant to tell him about the game made by Fu Zan and let him try it out.

But after he hesitated for a few seconds, Jester decided to try it himself.

This is not doubtful.

Because everyone in Mars Entertainment basically knows about Fu Zan’s relationship with Jester. When Fu Zan was at Mars Entertainment, the staff was pretty good. In addition, those who were brought out by Jester in the same group as him are now basically able to He is unique in the gaming industry.

Therefore, it is understandable that Jester attaches great importance to it.

This is a game on the Dreambox2 platform, because Fu Zan’s game company has Jester’s shares. Although Jester did not ask for it, the game produced by Fu Zan will only be in the Dreambox and Dreambox 2 platforms on the console platform. above dreambox2.

Of course, there will also be some for PC.

Jester took the black plastic card back to his office. Naturally, there was a TV and a game console in his office.

Insert the game card into the slot, press the start button, and then Jester starts the game.

Half an hour later.

Jester put the controller aside, and the game screen was still flashing on the TV screen. To be honest, Fu Zan's art skills were pretty good, and the pictures were very beautifully made, but Jester did frown, as if What are you thinking about.

It seems that this game does not satisfy him very much.

After thinking about it for about two minutes, Jester stood up and walked to his desk, picked up a pen and wrote his own review on the back of Fu Zan's game.

To be honest, in Jester's opinion, Fu Zan's game can only be regarded as a mediocre game.

He didn't see the martial arts style he wanted to see.

Of course, it may be related to the current production level. If you want to express the style of martial arts, the current picture is still lacking. But even if you don’t consider the martial arts style, just use a traditional Look at the turn-based RPG game.

This game can't be said to have many highlights. (To be continued...)
