To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1256 Operation Mode and Plot

There is no design draft for this piece, so Yu Fei can only talk about what he thinks of.

"In addition, two sets of operating systems have been released, one is the standard move mode, and the other is the simple move mode."

"Standard mode is just like common fighting games. Only by rubbing a small half circle or a big half circle can the corresponding skills be released, such as the operation of ↓↙←↙↓↘→+A."

"And the simple move mode is to allow players to perform corresponding combos when pressing the AB button without thinking."

"Considering that there are many moves in fighting games, and there may be more than 20 to nearly thirty skills including light and heavy punches, it is undoubtedly unrealistic to provide shortcut keys for all these skills."

"The traditional move mode can indeed distinguish these moves, but the operation is more difficult, and novice players can't play it."

"So, we will design a set of combos for the players, which will be calculated in real time by the AI ​​program of the Numa Artificial Intelligence Lab to choose a better attack method for the players when they attack consecutively. If you press the AB button stupidly, the system will automatically release a combo, and the super kill is directly fixed on a basic key position, and it can be released by pressing it."

"In this way, even players who have never played fighting games at all can enjoy the joy of smooth combos."

Hearing this, Pei Qian frowned slightly: "Uh... wait a minute."

It feels like something is wrong.

Isn't this the same nature as the magic sword in "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation"?
Hard-core players do combos honestly, while novice players can also play gorgeous moves by pressing blindly, enjoying the visual feast that can only be played by top experts.

If the action is more handsome and the special effects are more gorgeous, then for ordinary players, this can be used as a mowing game with a plot. Wouldn't the entry threshold be greatly lowered?
The difficulty is not enough, how to dissuade some handicapped players?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian said, "I don't think this seems appropriate."

"In my opinion, there can be a simple move mode, but it can only be a limited simplification, such as simplifying the original ↓↘→↓↘→+A to ↓↘→+A, and changing the original ↓↘→+A Simplified to ↘+A."

"Moreover, the power of the moves played in the simple move mode will be reduced."

The easy mode must not be too simple. The magic sword in "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" is a lesson.

If possible, Pei Qian would choose to cancel the easy mode and only have the regular mode.

Players who don't know how to fight games can't beat the boss even if they buy it, and they have to practice for ten days and a half months to practice rubbing moves!
But the problem is, since this game is a relatively difficult game with a story mode, Pei Qian himself has to pass the level...

If there is only the standard mode, it would be too much for Pei Qian to clear the story by himself.

So, compromise a little.

The easy mode should not be too simple. In that case, it will be easy for Pei Qian to pass the level, and ordinary players can play it very well, so the sales will definitely not be low; the easy mode has a certain degree of difficulty, and it takes a certain period of hard training to master it. It is still suitable for players who do not like fighting games. It has the effect of dissuading, and at the same time, it can ensure that Pei Qian can pass the level.

Pei Qian played some fighting games when he was a child. Although they were very good, but the combo of rubbing↓↘→+A should be no problem.

Moreover, the damage in the easy mode is low, which is a little disgusting to those ordinary players, and always reminds them that the super kills played in the easy mode have a shorter damage, which makes them uncomfortable.

Yu Fei nodded: "Uh...Okay Mr. Pei, then change it like this."

Obviously he didn't have any thoughts of his own. Mr. Pei said that if he changed it like this, that's how to change it. Anyway, he didn't understand.

"In addition, I plan to make a very complete plot story for "Ghost General 2"!"

"The prototype of this plot story is born out of the background story descriptions of the original generals in "Ghost General", and at the same time, it incorporates some historical stories from the Three Kingdoms period, and transforms these stories."

"Moreover, these stories can also be combined with the general's skills."

""Ghost General" is just a card game, so the original skills are quite single, and each general has only one characteristic skill. But if it is to be made into a fighting game, the skills can range from a dozen to as many as twenty. These all need to be redesigned."

"Take Zhuge Liang as an example. According to the description of the general in "Ghost General", he is a great inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. His research involves weather weapons, aircraft, automatic vehicles, robots, etc. Cutting-edge field."

"After I researched it, I realized that this is not just the corresponding inventions such as Borrowing the East Wind, Kongming Lantern, Wooden Cow and Liuma, and Zhuge Liannu?"

"So, I want to add all these skills to Zhuge Liang's moves. For example, his skill can call a large number of missiles to wash the ground with Dongfeng, concentrate bombing on a certain area, and at the same time generate a violent shock wave, sweeping the surrounding area like a gust of wind. .”

"The Kongming Lantern is a small aircraft that can lift him to a certain height. While avoiding the enemy's attack, it can also emit a dazzling light to make the enemy fall into a temporary dazzled state."

"Besides, since he has an automatic vehicle, it is definitely impossible for him to walk on the battlefield. Instead, he has to sit on a 'suyu', which is something similar to a wheelchair. It can be packaged as a high-tech suspension vehicle in the game , Whether it is advancing, retreating or jumping, Zhuge Liang does not need to do it himself, which is more in line with the human design."

"Of course, Zhuge Liang certainly can't really fight with others. The normal attack should be done through the huge mechanical arm suspended in front of him."

"Wooden Niu Liuma can summon a mechanical army, and Zhuge Liannu can summon heavy machine guns to wash the ground."

"In order to allow players to better accept these skills, I also consider gradually unlocking these skills according to the level."

"For example, in the level of Chibi Battle, the player will control Zhuge Liang to use the skill of Borrowing the East Wind. Players need to stand on the Seven Star Platform, which is the missile launch base, and follow the prompts to rub their moves. Only after rubbing out can they release the skill to clean the ground and clear the level."

"Before that, players couldn't release this skill. They could only use fire attack, which is a simple skill similar to incendiary bombs. This way, they can be played one by one to guide players to become familiar with the main skills of the heroes."

"At the same time, the plot can also be integrated into the level to enrich the story of the entire game."

Yu Feiyue said he was getting more excited, apparently he enjoyed the process of smoothing out the plot of "Ghost General" these few days.

The more I stroke it, the more I am shocked by Mr. Ma who wrote the plot of "Ghost General".

How do you think of this?So genius!

If you look at the requirements document at that time now, you may feel that the document was written in rubbish, and there is no reference picture. It is simply a few descriptions that are not painful or itchy, and the writing is quite casual and unreliable. .

But it is such a requirement document that not only perfectly fits the painting style of "Ghost General", making it stand out from the flood of Three Kingdoms card mobile games at the beginning, but it still plays a role today three years later!

Yu Fei is going to do "Ghost General 2" now, and he must design a lot of skills for these generals. Originally, this should be a huge workload and a very brain-intensive task, but now he only needs to follow the background of the heroes and combine them. With the materials in the history and novels of the Three Kingdoms, you can immediately come up with many suitable and interesting plots!
Could it be that Mr. Ma had already thought of such a day in the future when "Ghost General" was writing the requirements document?
But at that time, Tenda was still a small company with little money, and the previous game was "Lonely Desert Highway". Who would have thought that "Ghost General" would be changed into such a complicated game many years later?
If Mr. Ma has predicted this in advance, it can only show that he has very strong confidence in Mr. Pei, Tengda, and himself.

If Mr. Ma didn't predict this, it would be even more frightening. It means that Mr. Ma just designed it at random, and thought of all these contents logically.

In short, it's just two words, awesome!
As for Mr. Pei, who arranged for Mr. Ma to write the requirements document for "Ghost General" and decided to turn "Ghost General" into a fighting game many years later, which level should he be in?

Hiss... I can't think too much about it.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Boss Pei is too unfathomable.

After listening to Yu Fei's long speech, Pei Qian fell silent.

Judging from Yu Fei's elated state, he really got excited about the plot and completely let himself go.

This is also normal, after all, Yu Fei is an author of online novels, so it is natural for him to be interested in the plot.

But the key question is... how to listen to Yu Fei's argument, the more it is said, the more reliable it is?
As far as Zhuge Liang's skill is concerned, it sounds quite interesting, what's going on...

Pei Qian originally wanted to persuade Yu Fei, but after thinking about it, his idea seemed to be unassailable.

What reason did Pei Qian use to make Yu Fei give up this setting?
After all, it was Pei Qian who made the decision to make "Ghost General 2", but Yu Fei used the ready-made settings in "Ghost General", so there shouldn't be any problem, right?

What's more, Pei Qian told Yu Fei that he was asked to focus on the plot and level design in order to distract him and let him spend less time thinking about the game's combat system.

If you tell Yu Fei now, don't make the plot so complicated, let's not mention the issue of changing the order at night, the key is that Yu Fei turns his head and devotes all his energy to the combat system, wouldn't it be more harmful?
Pei Qian thought about it for a long time, and felt that the lesser of two evils had to be chosen. In order to make the combat part a little worse, he could only let Fei Duo ponder over the plot.

Moreover, this plot was originally written by Lao Ma, and it was written in pieces at the beginning. The success of "Ghost General" depends entirely on Ruan Guangjian's style of painting.

Now that Yu Fei is obsessed with the plot, there shouldn't be any big results.At least it shouldn't be enough to make a niche fighting game that requires tricks become popular and make a lot of money.

Doing such a complex plot means doing some real-time calculation cutscenes, character interaction, dubbing, etc., all of which are workloads.

This means more money will be spent, and the difficulty of monetizing the game will also increase.

If you just make a regular fighting game step by step, then the investment will not be very large. You may be able to recover the cost and make a small profit just by relying on the diehard fans of fighting games and the old players who believe in "Ghost General" .

But what if you make a huge plot and level for a fighting game?The investment will soar, but there are only a few people who are diehard fans of fighting games and old players of "Ghost General".

The cost has gone up, but the sales volume has not increased significantly, but it will not make money.

Pei Qian thought about it for a moment, and said, "Okay, there is no major problem in general, so let's do this first."

"If you have any questions, you can always ask me."
