To put it simply, "The Legend of the Old White Heroes 1" is a semi-open-ended RPG game, with an excellent plot, and the graphics are quite excellent, and you can also see the back of international 3A masterpieces in terms of playability!

In Chen Maolin's definition, "The Legend of the Old White Heroes 1" is at least qualified to be called a quasi-triple-A RPG.

"The most important factor is that we need to explore!"

Chen Maolin, who has participated in the development of four 3A masterpieces and personally led the production of two 3A games, said seriously after the introduction: "Although I would like to follow the standards of 3A masterpieces in the first part, ...... Trust me, that's not realistic! It's not that we can't do it, after all, you've given us enough money and time, and we've got enough people right now, but ......"

"But that's not necessary!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Sun Peng interrupted Chen Maolin's words with an understanding expression.

Regarding this problem, in fact, he has already figured it out, and he also knows that although his idea is good, it does not conform to the normal law - unlike the four battle royale games developed by Jiapeng Games before, the requirements of "Old White Heroes" are obviously much higher!

Whether it's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds or Fortnite, to put it bluntly, the core thing is their gameplay. Even if the level of FPS games in Huaxia is far from the international advanced level, as long as you invest in it, you can naturally make it. Or to put it more exaggeratedly, Sun Peng casually acquired a ready-made company at that time, and there was a relatively mature FPS game, so it was enough to change it.

Essentially, they're really not that difficult to make.

Perhaps the optimization of the game is a problem, and it is difficult for a startup like Jiapeng Games to run smoothly with a relatively low configuration like other large manufacturers. However, after TT Games acquired Jiapeng Games, this problem is no longer a headache for Sun Peng, and TT's strong strength can easily solve all this.

However, "The Legend of the Old White Heroes", that's another story.

What Sun Peng can provide is the best plot, and maybe the best game soundtrack, but everything else has to be slowly explored by Chen Maolin and others, and then constantly modified and improved.

If I had to take an example, it might be a bit like The Witcher series on Earth.

It used the first and second parts to lay a solid foundation, and finally ushered in a big explosion in the third part, which pushed the game and the production company to the altar in one fell swoop. It's just that Chen Maolin and them are luckier than Polish stupid donkeys, because they have Sun Peng, a boss who doesn't care about the amount of investment, and the absolute value of the number of game talents in Huaxia is much larger......

Don't doubt that, even on Earth.

It's just a pity that the Chinese game companies on the earth have focused on online games and mobile games, and even would rather develop those web games than make stand-alone games!

It turned out that Sun Peng didn't understand, but he didn't understand it later.

The investment in a stand-alone game is so large, if it performs well and sells hundreds of thousands of sets after it is made, what money can it make? If the performance is average or the scolding is overwhelming, you will even have to pay a lot of money! But in comparison, the investment in online games and mobile games, especially mobile games, is small, and there are many players who are unwilling to spend money to buy games but are willing to spend money to recharge to buy equipment and clothing.

Therefore, in the early days, China's stand-alone machines can be said to have been killed by piracy, and later when some young players gradually became aware of the genuine version, most manufacturers have gone on the road of online games and mobile games without looking back. And in Sun Peng's memory, online games such as dungeons are still more popular than those so-called stand-alone masterpieces......

In the world of China, the situation is relatively much better.

It's not that Chinese players aren't interested in games like masturbation, after all, there is still an essential difference between stand-alone and competitive online games, and they all have their own preferences. However, relatively speaking, because Huaxia's copyright attention started earlier, and the economic level is also higher, so that players' computer configuration is generally higher, the stand-alone game market is not known how many times larger than on the earth!

So in this world, you can't imagine a game without a Chinese version!

Although the domestic game industry started a little late, the overall level is more than a step higher. Although there has not been a well-known IP that has been recognized by the world so far, at least from Sun Peng's point of view, there are so many games that already have the strength and potential of 3A masterpieces......

Well, that's a long way off.

In short, Sun Peng now understands what Chen Maolin means, that is, to make an excellent game first, on the one hand, to accumulate experience for Lao Bai's studio, and at the same time to explore the production method of martial arts games, on the other hand, it is also to avoid the cycle of the pioneering work from dragging on for too long.

Although the boss doesn't care about investment and time, Chen Maolin can't care less.

This has nothing to do with personal income, etc., the key is a factor of spirit, if you can't get a work for a long time, many people are afraid that they will slack off because of a lack of sense of achievement, and even leave, which makes people lose more than they gain......

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, "Old White Heroes Turn 1" is also a bit like "The Witcher 3".

After a few thoughts flew by like lightning in his heart, Sun Peng's mind suddenly remembered the Polish game he liked very much - judging from the gameplay and various settings introduced by Chen Maolin today, the more Sun Peng thought about it, the more he felt a bit similar!

Strictly speaking, it's not really an open world, but the degree of freedom is quite high; And in addition to the long enough main plot, there are also extremely rich side quests, including those provided by Sun Peng and pondered by the planners themselves; Even in Sun Peng's opinion, "Old White Heroes" is richer in terms of gameplay, after all, there are internal skills and light skills in the martial arts world, there are hidden weapons and poisons, as well as various sects and adventures, if they are really combined, it will definitely be very interesting.

Merely......

"These people...... What exactly can it look like? ”

Just when Sun Peng looked at Chen Maolin and them, secretly guessing the final effect of "Old White Heroes Turn 1", Chen Fengzhi said with a smile: "It seems that our boss understands everything, haha!" However, since we have plenty of funds, I will arrange for someone to prepare for the second part while making the first part - it is not easy to make a breakthrough in the next part. ”

"No, no, the second part is okay, the key is the third part."

Chen Maolin obviously disagreed with Chen Fengzhi's statement, shook his head and smiled: "The third part must be a completely open world, and the online features must be interesting enough to attract players to participate in it for two years, three years, or even longer, which is the real big challenge......
