Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 411 "Xtreme Speed" Creative Workshop

Zhong Ming roughly sorted out the materials and content related to "Attack on Titan", and then handed them over to Hu Bin in batches.

The main plot of "Attack on Titan" is not particularly complicated, and the structure is not particularly large, but it is exquisite.On the surface, it seems that there are only a few key figures with names and surnames in the Survey Corps, and the structure of the entire kingdom is not that complicated, but it can still create a sense of epic, which is very commendable.

Therefore, how to better show the details of the plot in the game has become the top priority.

In addition to handing over the outline of the entire story to Hu Bin, Zhong Ming also marked out some special foreshadowing and details, which will be displayed in the game through some special techniques.

As for the progress of the plot of this game, for the time being, we will end with the plot related to Marais, that is, through unremitting struggle, the survey corps overthrew the royal family inside the city wall, and actually gained control of the entire island, repelling the apes. Giant and Reiner and others, and partly learned the truth of the whole world.

The plot is almost halfway through here, and this is also the most exciting part of the game "Attack on Titan". It starts and ends, and interlocks. Although it can't be regarded as the end of the whole story at this point, it can also be said to be a temporary end.

Moreover, the capacity of this plot is long enough for a game. If it is longer, it will be difficult to control whether it is the investment or the price of the game.

The price of regular 3A masterpieces is so much, double the capacity is equal to twice the investment, and if the price is double, players may not buy it.

For future plots, we can do "Attack on Titan 2".Splitting the game into two and selling it will not bring too much financial burden to the players.

After reading the script given to him by Zhong Ming, Hu Bin was overwhelmed.

"Fuck! This setting is amazing!"

"It turns out that giants are all transformed by humans, and the second and fifth boys are all people around them. The foreshadowing has been laid long ago!"

"Every time I am desperate, I come back again, exciting!"

"Wait a minute, what is the structure of this story, I will study it..."

"... What's next? What about the plot behind?"

Hu Bin was amazed by this script, and basically all his previous questions were answered.

It's just that Zhong Ming only gave him the script of the first half of "Attack on Titan". Zhong Ming said that he would develop "Attack on Titan 2" in the future, so he didn't give him the script of the second half.

Hu Bin felt itchy, but no matter what he wanted, Zhong Ming replied with a smile: "It's okay, you will know the plot behind it when "Attack on Titan 2" is produced. Or if you really can't wait , can you conceive the second half of the plot first? If it’s done well, it’s okay to follow your script.”

Hu Bin: "..."

Speechless!

If I could write the second half of the script, I would have gone to heaven a long time ago, and I am still talking nonsense with you here?
At first Hu Bin was a little worried, but after seeing the first half of the script, he was completely convinced.This script is not only good in the setting of the world view, but more importantly, the rhythm of its storytelling is too stable!

The foreshadowing has been laid early in the morning, and the structure of the whole story is very clear. The protagonist always encounters one seemingly unsolvable problem after another, but they all rely on their wisdom to save the day.

Human beings are always in a powerless state when encountering powerful enemies such as female giants, armored giants, and ape giants, but they soon found a chance to turn the tables.

And the key to this kind of plot lies in the control of information!

This script has been deliberately inducing readers through information: some information that the author releases unintentionally, readers often ignore, but later find that they are all foreshadowing; The truth is related, so every clue has been repeatedly analyzed and discussed by readers; the key information of the battle is deliberately hidden, so that readers are always in the fog of war and feel the despair of human beings, while the author takes care of everything from the perspective of God.

Some works that fail to control the plot often have insufficient grasp of the information. Once the reader opens the perspective of God, then no matter how complicated the strategy is, it will be ridiculously childish in the eyes of the reader. It is not surprising that the author is sprayed.

Therefore, the more Hu Bin studies, the more he feels that this script is invincible!
He even has a feeling that if this theme is made into anime, TV series or movies, it should be able to achieve better performance.It is also possible to make it into a game, but it may have to move closer to the direction of a movie game.

Of course, using games to do this plot also has corresponding advantages: the game is an interactive experience, and the player's sense of immersion and substitution will be stronger.

After handing over the script to Hu Bin, Zhong Ming can let go of it.

After Hu Bin has made a fighting demo, Zhong Ming can come back to check whether he is qualified.After the demo is finished, there will be a series of tasks such as level design, cutscene CG storyboard, etc. Zhong Ming may intervene a little bit, but as a professional designer, Hu Bin can also be alone, and there is no need for Zhong Ming to die all the time stare.

……

On the other hand, the popularity of UV1 simulator and "Xtreme Speed" is still rising!

The UV1 simulator has recently been on the hot search again, and players have given him a very friendly name: Fat House Happy Cabin, because many players play in the cockpit of the UV1 simulator for hours, and the degree of addiction is higher than that of GS1. The simulator is much higher, so it successfully won the honorable title of "Fat House Happy Cabin".

It's not that the GS1 simulator is not fun, the key is... the GS1 simulator is standing, but the UV1 simulator is sitting!
Under the premise that both are very fun, it goes without saying which one is more fun and lasts longer.

Moreover, the simulation effect of the UV1 simulator is more realistic than that of the GS1 simulator. Coupled with the complex and diverse gameplay in "Xtreme Speed", it is not surprising to be addicted to it.

On the Internet, many anchors are playing "Xtreme Speed", and many UP hosts have uploaded videos related to "Xtreme Speed".

In these videos, there are videos of the main line process, videos of breaking records in racing, and videos of myself showing off the operation in the UV1 simulator.And there is also a very critical video, that is, the video of refitting the vehicle!

"Xtreme Speed" provides players with a wealth of modification options to the extreme, as well as... a very beautiful lady in the modification shop.

Chang Shaohua had been to the refitting shop when he was trying out the car before. Although he only changed the paint and added a machine gun, he still had a preliminary taste of the sweetness of refitting the vehicle.

With the continuous progress of the game process, the modification shop continues to unlock more new parts, and the modifications that players can carry out are becoming more and more abundant. Many modification plans with big brain holes have naturally begun to surface.

After these modified videos were uploaded to the video site, players all sighed, this is still a racing game?This obviously becomes a construction game!
In the Weiguang studio, Fu Xing'an used his computer to look at these mind-blowing modification plans on the Internet, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

What he watched was not those videos on the Internet, but directly called some background data from the server.

It has to be said that the power of the masses is inexhaustible!

Some of the vehicles here are both beautiful and practical, some are purely beautiful and made a flower shelf, and some are useless in terms of shape and practicality but are particularly sand sculptures...

Fu Xing'an watched it with great interest all morning and couldn't stop at all.And those that appear on the Internet are only a small part of these sand sculpture designs.

After reading several design proposals, Fu Xing'an happily found Zhong Ming with his laptop in his arms.

"Boss! These modification plans of "Xtreme Speed" are so interesting! I suggest, why don't we hold a speed modeling competition? Racing group, combat group and sand sculpture group, the three categories are selected separately, and the plans that have won praise, What do you think about rewarding some tokens directly?" Fu Xing'an asked enthusiastically.

Zhong Ming was hand-painting the setting set of "Attack on Titan". After listening to it, he nodded: "Of course. You are preparing for this design competition, where will you judge?"

"Uh...we can use Weiguang live broadcast as a platform, or cooperate with video websites." Fu Xing'an said.

Zhong Ming looked at him: "It's superfluous. Can't we just do it in the game?"

"Uh... But I think it's enough to hold the design competition only once for the time being." Fu Xing'an said, implying that it is somewhat wasteful to make an in-game function for such a competition of a ticket nature.

Zhong Ming was a little speechless: "Who told you to do it only once? Of course, this kind of function must be implemented in the creative workshop."

Fu Xing'an was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood: "Oh! Yes, I understand."

Fu Xing'an has already made so many games, and he is considered a very experienced designer. The reason why he didn't think about this before is because his head short-circuited.

Because in this world, there are not so many games that have made creative workshops, so Fu Xing'an's initial thoughts did not consider this aspect.

The free-to-assemble vehicle gameplay in "Xtreme Speed" has never appeared before. Even if there are similar racing games, at most players are allowed to freely change the paint and appearance of some cars. Players are not allowed to adopt each other's plans.

So Fu Xing'an didn't think of the idea of ​​the creative workshop at the first time, and he suddenly woke up after the bell clicked.

Now that he understands it, Fu Xing'an will be entirely responsible for the subsequent work.

In "Xtreme Speed", there was no [Creative Workshop] module.Players go to the modification shop to refit their own vehicles, and just keep them in their garages, so that they can drive daily to see the scenery, or participate in some racing competitions and the like.

There are other ways of interaction between players. In addition to daily cooperative racing, when players buy some vehicles in the mall, they can view other players' equipment plans.

This plan is not a modification plan, but simply the color and shape of the speeding car. If some lazy players don't want to bother with DIY speeding car shape, they can directly use other people's.

But now, after joining the [Creative Workshop] module, players can upload their satisfied vehicles to the Creative Workshop and share them with other players.

After uploading to the creative workshop, other players can spend some small money to buy this blueprint, and the money for buying the blueprint will be divided between the designer and the official.After purchasing the blueprint, the purchased player can build the car by himself as long as he obtains enough corresponding materials.

In this way, the designer can make a profit by making an excellent design, and the official can also earn additional income, and ordinary players will be happy, killing three birds with one stone.

Such a virtuous circle also helps to motivate players to use their ingenuity and design more and more interesting vehicles.

Of course, as a very considerate seller, Zhong Ming will definitely add a "test drive" function in the game, so that players can fully grasp the driving feeling and performance of this car before buying, and will definitely not let players spend money wasted.

Each drawing has three buttons: like (thumbs up), click (thumbs down), and feel very happy (smiley face). Players can choose according to their needs, and they can only click once.According to comprehensive data such as the release time of the work, the number of likes, and the number of views, the creative workshop sorts and filters these drawings, so that players can quickly find the drawings they want.

The original creative workshop was originally a content arranged by DLC. On the one hand, it was because the previous development progress was relatively tight, and on the other hand, because there were not many functions similar to creative workshops in this world, Zhong Ming wanted to try it first. Try the creativity of players in this world, and it will not be too late to open a creative workshop.

Sure enough, the creativity of the players is endless. It hasn't been long since the game was launched, so many interesting designs have appeared on the Internet.Now that the function of the creative workshop is launched, players will definitely be more motivated.

Of course, compared with previous games such as "Genesis Chariot", there is a bigger problem with the vehicle modification in "Extreme Speed", which is...

Players sit in the cockpit in the UV1 simulator and experience the game from the first perspective, and the driving simulator will also simulate the real situation to flip!

This will cause a problem, that is, if the player designs a sand sculpture car similar to the "Electronic Poison Dragon Drill", it will definitely not work if it starts to spin wildly. Even if the UV1 simulator can withstand it without being turned bad, the Players also had to vomit on the spot.

Therefore, Zhong Ming has made restrictions on similar designs at the beginning of the design, and all designs must be based on the premise of ensuring the player's driving experience.

Under this premise, it is completely fine for players to add injectors, add weapons, and make shapes to the speeding car.
