Cannon Fodder Genius Game Producer

Many people thought that the knives everywhere in "Legend of Xianyuan" would cause a large number of players to lose in the game, but what they never expected was that under the damage of knives after knives, there were still more and more players. A lot of plot parties poured into the game, just to find the optimal solution for each task, and to explore every different plot in the game.

It's just that some people say that the tone of the game "Fairy Tale" is so heavy that it is really impossible to play.As a result, someone silently dropped a video.

This video is a game video recorded by a well-known player of "Legend of Xianyuan". She is sitting on a bamboo branch in the game, flying unsteadily across the world of Xianyuan in the main film. Enjoying the sunrise and sunset in the wild with beautiful scenery, and occasionally passing by some ordinary villages and towns, the bustling scenes and the relaxed smiling faces of the aborigines make people feel relaxed and healed.

This player named Die Wu also used the existing skill movements and effects of the game to choreograph a set of beautiful dances. With the blessing of skill light effects, her skills are very superb, and she even performed in the same dance. The appearance of different system malls has been replaced, and the effect of changing clothes and dancing has been made.

If you don't know that her 'dancing' is all attack skills, it's simply beautiful.

After you finish watching the entire video, there will probably be a question mark in your mind-is this "Legend of Xianyuan"?This is the "Legend of Xianyuan", which is famous for its knife hair recently?

In fact, the players didn't notice it at first, but as some casual players enjoyed the game, this kind of 'off-the-line' gameplay also spread among players.

In this way of playing, the player does not need to touch the NPC, and the story cycle of the NPC in the game is completely viewed from the perspective of a bystander. Your perspective is just a 'bystander' and you will never participate in it.

In the world of fairy fate, there are many ways for players to "level up", such as killing wild monsters, digging spiritual grasses and elixir, and opportunities in secret realms-there are actually countless "celestial fates" in this world, even if players do not follow the plot line , It does not affect the player's game experience.

When this news was exposed, some people also questioned, so what is the significance of your plot line design?

Not long after, a senior plot player appeared silently.

[...Although, I guess, this kind of 'third-person gaze' that doesn't participate in the main plot should also be one of the game's designs.

Think about it, the name of this game is "Legend of Xianyuan". For players, the word "Xianyuan" in this game is very simple to explain. It means that this small world of Xianyuan has a lot of resources for cultivating immortals. Let the players get an improvement in their cultivation level, so as to feel the opportunity to become a fairy.

From the point of view of the aborigines of the game, after this period of time, most of them must have understood what the meaning of "Xianyuan" is.

On the premise of confirming this, we can also know - how ethereal is "Xianyuan"?For the aborigines in the small world of Xianyuan, they basically have no chance to meet gods, because the chances are so rare that they are precious, so they are legends.

They are used to the life of mortals. Although they are afraid of monsters and look forward to the arrival of gods, most of the time, all they can do is to face the difficulties of their own lives alone.

Everyone should also know that time in the small world of Xianyuan keeps passing forward, and the Bulo studio has arranged a terrible amount of tasks for this, just like the original Qingyang Village and Xiaoyu Village, as long as you pass that After the time point, if you go again, what you see may be everything that has been destroyed.

There is destruction, but also reconstruction and rebirth. Even without the intervention of players, the world is still operating according to its own logic.

I don't know how other people came up with this design, but to me, it really is a genius design, a bold idea.

The existence of these aborigines already has a huge meaning, and they will continue to exist "boringly" according to the original design, or they will be destroyed or reborn in an accident.

And you can intervene in all this at any time, or you can choose to be an indifferent bystander.

There is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching" that the world is not benevolent and treats all things as dogs. The player's perspective here is such a cruel and ruthless perspective, but it is also a perspective that conforms to the logic of the world's operation.

To be honest, this idea may not be acceptable to everyone, but I really admire it. 】

A seemingly lengthy speech, but the person who asked the question was amazed by the idea.

Soon, this comment was also forwarded by the players to an external forum, citing it as an evaluation of the game "Legend of Xianyuan".

Whether you want to be a leisurely leisure guest who observes the world, or a person who goes deep into the fairy world to explore every story, you can be satisfied in the fairy world.

This kind of game content and the richness of the playable gameplay have further enhanced the word-of-mouth of "Legend of Xianyuan", and at the same time attracted more curious players.

One month after the public beta, "Legend of Xianyuan" has become the strongest among the recent public beta new games with its good reputation and rich gameplay.

Those players who say no to krypton can't control their hands in the face of all kinds of dazzling flying special effects, and there are players who occasionally get tired of flying, and there are huge fairy houses waiting for him to open up. Farming, decorating, and teaching mortal disciples are all kinds of ways to play.

There are also some plot parties who go in and out seven times (?) at various locations where the plot may start. With various buffs, his strength has improved rapidly, and various skills have been practiced to the full level of proficiency, just to be able to turn the tide at critical moments in the game's plot.

In short, with the efforts of these players, "Legend of Xianyuan" has firmly stayed in the top 20 of WG's best-selling list in the first month of its launch, and its ranking is even higher than the studio's old pillar " A Thought of Immortal Demon".

Today's major companies in the industry feel a stomachache when they see the name of the studio.

A single game will occupy the top 20 positions on the best-selling list. If this continues in the long run, who can stand it?

Of course, in fact, they also know that it is impossible for a studio to make a profit for every game, but as far as the studio is concerned, at least the current first three games are enough to make everyone envious. Based on the income of these three games and the health of the game environment, at least in the next three to five years, they will be able to bring terrible cash flow benefits to the studio.

what?

What do you think will happen in three to five years?

To be honest, such a game will have diehard players even after three to five years. By then, the high-yield period of the game may have passed, but there will be no problem with maintaining capital, and it may even be higher than many Games that have only been in operation for a few months will earn more.

In short, the three games that are not lost to the studio, in the eyes of everyone, are three golden hens that can lay golden eggs.

And with these three golden hens, the game development and market expansion strategy of the studio can of course be more unbridled.

One month after the public beta of "Legend of Xianyuan", BUBA Studio announced the development plan of their latest 7 new games that have passed the review, including a large-scale client game with an estimated total investment of more than 5000 million, and some Two games that are full of the atmosphere of independent games at first glance, including the "Lost Eight Years" that was planned by Pei Shu.

"What? Xiao Lizi, what do you think of the idea of ​​this game?"

In the apartment on the 18th floor of Daonan Road Apartment, Pei Shu sat on a recliner by the window, leisurely drinking the milk tea that Li Chuyue made for him—it has to be said that the fresh milk tea that Li Chuyue cooked himself, The taste is indeed delicate and smooth, very delicious.

At this time, Li Chuyue was looking at the worldview and plot setting documents of "The Eight Years of Disappearance" that Pei Shu had initially compiled on his laptop.

When Li Chuyue first heard the name of the game from Pei Shu's mouth, Li Chuyue's heart felt as if it had been pulled hard, but after carefully reading every word written by Pei Shu, Li Chuyue's heart ached. It also became heavier and heavier.

Almost from the first word, Li Chuyue was sure that this was not a simple story, it should be what Pei Shu himself experienced in his own life!

In the more than a year since Pei Shu finally returned, at the beginning, Li Chuyue was always worried that this was a dream, and maybe after waking up from the dream, Pei Shu would return to the muddled appearance of the previous eight years , no matter how close he tried to wake him up, he was rejected by alienation and chaos.

He no longer wanted to look back on how he tried to wake up Pei Shu again and again during those eight years, but only got the indifferent response from that strange soul.

—Yes, strange souls.

From the first time he saw Pei Shu at that time, he was suspicious of the person who was so unfamiliar that he couldn't call out 'Xiao Shu'. He once asked people to try to get all the information related to Pei Shu. The only conclusion is that Xiao Shu lost part of his memory because of a simple electric car 'car accident'.

Just partial amnesia, will it bring about such a change?

During those eight years, Pei Shu remembered everyone he 'should' know, but he made himself shrink into a shell, as if deliberately disconnecting himself from everything around him.

He had tried countless times to break the state of that strange soul, thinking that as long as he worked hard enough, he could wake Pei Shu out of that body—he always firmly believed that Pei Shu was still in his original body, just temporarily. fell into a deep sleep.

This idea was so bizarre that he never mentioned it to anyone around him.

But he found that, in fact, he didn't have to keep it secret at all. Almost everyone around him had forgotten about Pei Shu's existence.

Li Chuyue once wondered how long he could remember Pei Shu?

He filled his memo with everything related to Pei Shu, and backed up countless copies on all the devices, for fear that when he woke up one day, he would forget who was in the memo on his mobile phone.

Fortunately, he never forgot.

But the sad thing is that he has never forgotten.

For eight full years, he initially studied abroad, but every time he returned to China, no matter what he tried, he returned in vain.

After he completely returned to China, he also lived briefly in the apartment on Daonan Road, but the pain of being the only one in the world who still has that memory, and seeing that strange soul made out of Pei Shu's body After things that Pei Shu himself would never forgive, he finally couldn't stay in this apartment calmly.

In the later time, when thinking about those memories now, Li Chuyue already felt a little distant and fuzzy.

In fact, when he saw Pei Shu 'come back' again, he originally decided to come back to say goodbye to Pei Shu and this apartment.

He will not forget Pei Shu, but he also can't bear to see that strange soul use Pei Shu's body to do more things that will make Pei Shu angry.

He was afraid that his reason would lose his control, and he would act irrationally towards that strange soul in anger, so he could only choose to leave silently.

It was also that farewell that made him finally wait for Pei Shu who had been absent for eight years.

He couldn't describe the throbbing in his heart at that moment, so he could only suppress himself as much as possible, observing from the side to see if Pei Shu had really returned.

He was happy for Pei Shu's return, but he didn't expect that during those eight years, Xiao Shu was alone, trapped in his own body, but confused, what kind of pain it would be Feel.

After reading all the documents, Li Chuyue finally couldn't bear the fear in his heart, turned around to Pei Shu's side, bent down and hugged Pei Shu who was on the recliner into his arms.

The embrace that was so tight that Pei Shu almost felt a little suffocated revealed the fear and fear in Li Chuyue's heart.

Pei Shu paused, stretched out his hand to hug Li Chuyue silently, patted his back lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm back."

After a long time, I heard Li Chuyue's deep voice saying to him: "...I haven't said anything, Xiaoshu, welcome back."

The author has something to say:

Li Chuyue: (hugging Pei Shu) My =. =!

Pei Shu: ^^|||Li Chuyue, tap lightly, I can't breathe.
