The strongest game producer

There is a reason for Xiao Gou to say that, because he will be Zelda next.

Speaking of Zelda, Xiao Gou just used the game concept of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to make a "Dragon Quest" game himself.

The first generation of Zelda was an open world, but at that time due to technical limitations, the expressiveness of the open world was not too strong.However, the game was still very popular, so that the old man turned it into a series of games.

Zelda's Ocarina of Time took the original's open world and turned it into a linear game, improving on its 3D technology.The 3D game technology at that time was just right for linear games. The pioneering gameplay of this game made it highly acclaimed, and Ocarina of Time even got almost full marks from major media.

The next few generations of Zelda games continued the linear gameplay. Although the reviews were good, the old man was not a person who was sitting on his laurels.In Breath of the Wild, the old Ren saw that the game technology had matured, so he let Zelda return to the concept of the open world of the first generation, and carried forward its "openness".In Breath of the Wild, you can fly around when you have nothing to do (and then encounter an air wall), set fire to the haystack when you have nothing to do (you can’t burn it all), cook food when you have nothing to do (completely forget about the princess)... …As a warrior who has lost his memory and has forgotten all his past, your main line is that an old man tells you that you should save the princess. As for whether you believe it or not, it is up to you.

Players like this free world very much, and the media also gave Breath of the Wild a high score.Although the final score of Breath of the Wild did not exceed that of Ocarina of Time, this does not mean that Breath of the Wild is not as good as Ocarina of Time. It is just that Ocarina of Time did have cross-age significance back then.

It is precisely because of knowing the development of games in another world that Xiao Gou realizes more clearly that a high-scoring game in another world may not necessarily sell well in this world, because a high-scoring game in one era must have its own characteristics belonging to that era and society. Branding, changing a place or even a different time, it may not necessarily be as shocking as it was at that time.This is the reason why the so-called era and heroes create each other.

Pokemon made players in this world fall in love with the holographic world of watercolor cartoon style; Mirror Flowers let players know the chemical engine; human beings suffered a crushing defeat so that players played the physics engine into a flower; Monster Hunter and Black Soul let the players know Players know the tricks of action-adventure games... Xiao Gou believes that now is the best time for Breath of the Wild games to appear.

In this breath of the wild, Xiao Gou will invest in Red Dog's strongest game technology at present, and try his best to make this world infinitely closer to the reality in the game - the reality in the game is not equal to the reality in reality, the reality in the game Reality refers to the sense of reality given to players within the world view of the game. Players will regard this world as the real world.

Even though Red Dog's game technology is hooked, Xiao Gou is still strengthening this trick in the process of completing tasks and drawing prizes, but for Red Dog, to make Breath of the Wild the way Xiao Gou planned, he still has to The whole company collectively worked overtime until he vomited blood—Xiao Gou demanded that in Breath of the Wild, every tree can be chopped down, every clump of grass can be burned, and every animal—including insects—can be caught.The employees of Red Dog Games were first full of question marks, and then full of exclamation points.When Xiao Gou asked for a watercolor style, all the drawing materials had to be done by himself... Before Xiao Gou finished speaking, Qiao Hong took a picture of the table first.Xiao Gou shrank his neck, his eyes were stubborn, Qiao Hong sat down with his forehead supported, and the art team cried.

Boss Qiao, if you don't even go to hold Boss Xiao, who else can stop him?You can't just bear it like this, as Boss Xiao's royal painter, you are definitely more tired than us when we are tired!

Qiao Hong: It's rare to see Xiao Gou so serious. Regarding the game, let's follow Xiao Gou's request.Isn't that just working overtime?Fearless, I love to draw.

Qiao Hong calmed down, and the Red Dog employees were about to cry.Red Dog is going to start a big project, and they are also very excited, but Mr. Xiao, are you taking too big a step?Shall we go step by step?Why do we have to do it in one step now?

Xiao Gou: I just come step by step?Aren't all the previous games laid the foundation for this game?Now that we have implemented the technology of each section in the game, it is time to integrate it together.

Xiao Gou thought about it, his main task of the system was about to end, the server he had been thinking about was about to be available, and the cooperation between the military and the civilian use of server technology discussed by them was also at a critical juncture, and it would be necessary to make an online game at that time.

What is the most important thing about online games?That is to give people a sense of reality as if they have traveled through another world.Infinitely close to the real world, coupled with the real social atmosphere created by real people, this is the second world that governments all over the world want.

In this second world, there will be many new jobs and new economic growth points.The massive reduction of labor-intensive jobs caused by the development of science and technology will be alleviated or even resolved in the second world—the large amount of financial resources accumulated by real people due to factors such as capital and intelligence will definitely be used in the second world.They are already very powerful in reality, how could they be willing to change the world and remain unknown?Especially those rich N-generations who are usually raised by their families. Although they are not short of money, they lack a sense of identity and presence. They are definitely willing to spend money to become stronger, and harvest them in the second world. They cannot be admired in reality.

Of course, Red Dog will not open the mall, so that players can become stronger by buying and buying.But similar to the holographic game novels that are now imagining the future, there will definitely exist gold-fighting groups and equipment groups.As long as you spend time and mechanical effort, you can get in-game currency and equipment, and then sell them to other players anonymously or publicly through Red Dog's trading platform.And the labor-intensive "jobs" in online games will not be impacted by the development of science and technology-using technology, it is cheating, and even connecting to cheating, Red Dog will use black technology to teach cheaters to be good players again.

Therefore, after the rise of the second world, even if the game will rise and fall, the number of jobs will not decrease.This game has declined, and they can go to the next game and continue to make money for gold and equipment.

And if these people are willing to spend money, there will be lucrative jobs.These "willingness" are all based on the players' recognition of the "authenticity" of the game world.The more attached they are to their game characters, the more money they are willing to spend.

How does the sense of reality come from?Art and plot are essential, physics engine and chemical engine are the core, gameplay and guidance are the soul.

The online games of Xiao Gou's era had already played a banner - leveling is a guide for beginners, and the full level is the beginning of the game.That is, the growth of game characters is no longer limited to the character level, but the "player level", that is, the experience gained by the player during the game, as well as the accumulated equipment and props.

Breath of the Wild is to take the lead in establishing this concept for players.In Breath of the Wild, there are no levels for game characters.To become stronger, besides accumulating equipment, it is more important to accumulate "game experience", know how to use props reasonably, use the surrounding environment reasonably, and skillfully use character skills.

In this step-by-step strengthening, players will have a feeling that "it is themselves becoming stronger", rather than the feeling that the game feels that they are becoming stronger.This is also the most important part of the realism created by the game.

After Xiao Gou described these concepts in detail, the Red Dog employees have already considered whether to write a suicide note for Mao Mao.
