Chapter 524: Hehehe!
Trantor: 549690339
Chen Mo started working on the design concept for Dark Souls.
In fact, Dark Souls was a game with very distinctive features. Whether it was the story’s background,bat system, level design, scene design, side quests, or other aspects, they were all different from the games on the market.
It was a game with its own style, and Chen Mo’s design document was mainly to exin two things to everyone.
The first point was that the core selling point of the game was the rich and variedbat system and the game’s difficulty, which was a little too much for ordinary yers.
In fact, these were all for the game’sbat system. The yers cracked the designer’s conspiracies inplex levels and defeated powerful bosses to better make use of thesebat rules and find fun in them.
Some newbies were killed by the Knights, butter on, they could kill the Knights with reflective shield or broken shield. This was one of the fun things that thebat system gave to yers.
After grasping the rules of soul-type battles, using these battle rules in itself was a very happy thing.
The second point was the view of the world.
The world of the Soul series waspletely different from the world of other games. There were many Western fantasy elements in it, but in fact, many Western fantasy elements were different from the traditional western fantasy.
This world had a unique charm to it, and Chen Mo had to exin the concept to his team before he could better understand it in the game.
For example, what was fire transmission? What was the Lord of Cinder? What kind of role were yers ying, and why did they have to pass fire?
The basic content of the world was clear, and the hidden content had been dug out by the yers through various clues.
However, there were still many different pitfalls in the game, and Miyazaki Hidetaka did not give a specific answer. Instead, he left it for the different yers to guess on their own.
(ording to Miyazaki Hidetaka, when he was working on Dark Souls, he did the content first before the plot, so it’s very likely that he didn’t have a clear andplete game script himself …)
It was just like how many mystery movies had an open ending at the end. Everyone had different views on the ending, and the designer would not tell you which one was absolutely correct.
Of course, Chen Mo had his own opinion on this, but he still decided to continue the mystery of the Dark Souls series. This kind of open ending had a special charm, and it wouldn’t be good if the official gamepany forced the plot to be exined clearly.
On the other hand, the perfect nk space could stimte the yers to explore the details of the whole world.
The entire design concept draft took two days toplete.
On one hand, Chen Mo had to think about how to describe it so that people who haven’te into contact with ck souls would understand the rules of this world. On the other hand, he had to think back to the various processes in the game.
However, what surprised Chen Mo was that he didn’t use as many memory yback potions this time. He was able to remember most of the scenes and boss battles clearly.
Thinking about it, this should be the aftereffects of the suffering, right?
Any yer who had died in the same ce dozens of times would have remembered the terrain of the area …
Dark Souls was a game that required rote memorization. You had to remember the distribution of monsters, terrain, and monster skills in a certain area to clear the game smoothly. If you didn’t learn, the difficulty of the game would increase exponentially.
……
After finishing the design concept, Chen Mo called everyone for a meeting.
The news about brand new Yin Qing had been spreading on the inte for the past few days. Although most of the designers in the country were not qualified to use the Pangu system, it didn’t stop them from talking about it.
In fact, there were even many designers who offered their suggestions, saying that if they were the ones to create the game, they would do what the game would do. In a short period of time, many all-mouthy King emerged.
The other people in thepany were also discussing this matter.
“The manager is an S-grade videogame designer, and he’s on such good terms with the game Committee. I’m sure he’ll be invited to try out the Pangu system, right?”
“In other words, our next game can be made with thetest Pangu system?”
“That’s possible, but I don’t know what the manager is thinking.”
“We’re probably talking about the new game today, right?”
When Chen Zhao walked into the meeting room, everyone fell silent.
Chen Mo looked at everyone.”I’m sure you’ve all heard that the Pangu system has built a new physical engine. The game Committee is currently looking for a game in China. They hope that you can make a game that can fully express the Pangu system.” Let’s cut to the chase and go straight to the design concept. ”
The title of the design draft appeared on the projection: Dark soul design draft.
Chen Mo introduced,”first, I’ll give you a simple summary. This is a Western fantasy game. Itsbat system ispletely different from any other game on the market. The art style and story background are simr to Diablo that we did before. ”
“Oh?” Qian Kun was surprised. Manager, are you finally going to release a VR version of Diablo?” No, wait, this game doesn’t look like Diablo. It’s called … Dark Souls?”
The others were also a little confused.
If it was any other game, it would be fine, but Chen Mo had the big ip of Diablo!
Diablo had achieved good results on the PC market before, and most of the senior employees had just joined, so the memory was still fresh.
When Diablo was first released, not only the outside world, but even many people in the project didn’t think it was good. However, after it was released, Diablo led the trend at that time.
It even created Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s thousand Hells. Although this game wasn’t as sessful as Diablo on the PC, it was still a good VR game.
Quite a fewpanies had tried to create the same effect as Diablo on VR, but none of them had seeded. After that, Chen Mo seemed to havepletely forgotten about it. He didn’t release the sequel to the Diablo series, Qin Zhuan, even though the story was ssic and could be used repeatedly.
Why did Chen Mo leave the ip of Diablo and make a new game?
Chen Mo looked at everyone.”This game is called Dark Souls. It’s also Diablo style, but it has nothing to do with the story of Diablo.”
Everyone was still a little confused.
Chen Mo exined,”I know what you guys are thinking. Let’s put it this way. The reason why we didn’t use Diablo’s ip is because the two games arepletely different in terms of gamey and spirit.”
“Diablo is a hack and sh game, and the main purpose is to let the yers have fun. The yers can kill groups of monsters with a wave of their hands and get a lot of equipment.
“But Dark Souls …”
“Hehehe!”
