Ah, Im so tired after finishing one story branch and the background story of two characters, said Zheng Hongxi as he streched
Really? Did you write the story for Warcraft? asked Jia Peng.
Zheng Hongxi shook his head, Thats different, although Warcraft has a much more incredible story, its only one branch, I just had to go along the flow of the story. This ga is different, there are so many story branches that affect one another. This is so much more complicated than Lifeline and its making my brain hurt.
You better hurry up, I have a bunch more Wugong and equipnt descriptions waiting for you, asid Qian Kun as he was working.
Zheng Hongxi had his hand on his forehead, Oh my goodness!
Could you show the script? I could look through it for you, offered Wen Lingwei.
Zheng Hongxi shook his head vigorously, I cant do that, wouldnt I be leaking? Moreover, I dont need you to look over it, the manager has already seen it.
Wen Lingwei was speechless, Selfish, why are you the sa as the manager.
This isnt selfish, its professionalism alright? asserted Zheng Hongxi.
Wen Lingwei rolled her eyes with a yeah yeah, youre right expression.
Oh right, rember to give a few special Wugong and equipnt their own story. The manager specifically asked for story special Wugong and equipnt like Six ridian Swords that can only be obtained after completing the quest from Wuliang Cave
Zheng Hongxi nodded, I rember, Im planning to give it an extra long questline.
From the sounds of it, although it is a Wuxia the, the manager gave it many Wugong. The nas also sound aweso, like Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Six ridian Swords, energy drain, Dugu Nine Swords. They feel so fitting! expressed Jia Peng.
Wen Ling said, Do you really need to question the story that the stingy manager cos up with? He has so many of these ideas.
Jia Peng said, But Im still kind of surprised. I thought the manager would never leave the world of Western Fantasy since Warcraft got so popular that he could probably live off sequels of it. Why did he want to make a Chinese style ga all of a sudden?
You didnt know? Its because of the Ga Committee. That ans the departnt related to video gas sent out a notice, asking for the designers to make a Chinese thed ga. Theres even judging for it, explained Su Jinyu.
Jia Peng was shocked, Is that so. I thought the manager wouldnt care about things like this.
Su Jinyu said, He was actually already planning to make a Chinese thed ga, but this ca up at the right ti.
Can the manager get first place? asked Jia Peng.
Wen Lingwei replied, Has the stingy manager ever lost?
Su Jinyu quickly interjected, Dont be so full of yourself this ti. Its hard to tell because Zen Entertainnt is also making a standalone Xianxia thed ga. Theyve also started a month or so earlier than we did, so it should be further in developnt.
Huh? Zen Entertainnt is joining too? asked Jia Peng.
Su Jinyu nodded, Of course, Zen Entertainnt and Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt are both competing. There are way more competitors that you guys think. Thats why I said we cant be sure.
Jia Peng seed to understand, Thats true. If there is judging, Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt stands no chance, but Zen Entertainnt excels at Xianxia gas. Legend of the Sword was a very successful RPG ga, so they must have good knowledge on that matter.
Zheng Hongxi said, You cant be sure about that either, the advantage Zen Entertainnt has isnt that big.
Ive looked up the gas that won before, and most of them just fit the Ga Committees liking. In short, they dont like online gas, although online gas are more profitable, it isnt easy to tell a story.
The judges put extra emphasis on the story and innovative playstles. That ans the best type of ga are standalone gas, and the high quality the better, the richer the story the better.
Even so, Zen Entertainnt still has an advantage. There are many quest lines in Legend of the Sword, aning that Zen Entertainnt has plenty of experience in that. It probably wouldnt be that bad if they converted that into a standalone ga, argued Su Jinyu.
Zheng Hongxi said, It wont be bad, but our story will be much better.
Everyone was speechless as he praised himself.
Zheng Hongxi nodded in agreent, Yep.
They were once again speechless at his honesty.
Qian Kun waved his hand, Alright, thats enough free ti. Lets get back to work as we have a lot to do in very little ti.
At the sa ti, in the experience store under Zen Entertainnt, there was an A-grade video ga designer working hard.
Yao Yu, A-grade video ga designer and one of the main designers of Legend of the Sword. They were responsible for the story and was a well known story writer and Xianxia novelist.
A few of the character artworks from earlier this morning arent good enough, redo it.
Ive made a small change to the Nether Crypt, rember to carry that into the ga. Changes need to be made to the corresponding dialogues and cinematics.
Pay more attention to the combat system. Its going to affect future developnt otherwise.
The level is too hard, please make so changes. It cant be too easy either, take the feelings of the players into consideration.
Rember that this ga isnt for the players, but for the judges. Our goal is to allow the judges to feel imdiately that this ga is a very traditional Xianxia thed ga, and allow them to feel our feelings and sincerity, understood?
Yes, it can feel close to Legend of the Sword, but it mustnt be too similar. Otherwise the judges are going to think that we werent innovative enough.
Yao Yu was giving orders left and right to their four assistants as they worked hard for the Xianxia thed standalone ga.
In truth, an A-grade videoga designer mightve been overkill for this.
An S-grade videoga designer could work on a VR ga by themselves, and an A-grade designer could work on a large online PC ga or take a large role in a VR ga.
Making a standalone ga was completely underutilizing them.
However, Yao Yu understood the reason why the higher ups of Zen Entertainnt assigned the job to him. It was because of his experience from developing Legend of the Sword and his excellent story writing skills.
In other words, this was a political move. Getting a good placent in this competition would an improving Zen Entertainnts position in the Chinese gaming industry as well as improving his na.
Therefore Yao Yu didnt dare take this lightly, giving his all to develop a standalone Xianxia ga to win first place!
