Chapter 103: Arthas's Line Draft

Planning classes and buildings was quick, and with the help of memory replay potions, it was completed in two days. Of course, what Chen Mo took out now was a pure form, without any pictures.

In the "Azeroth Universe", Chen Mo also put some concept drawings, including line drawings of griffons, horned eagles, and so on. However, the original art of most classes still needs to be completed.

Chen Mo has too many things at hand now, and he can't be busy with these for the time being, so he will first send the planning of the troops and buildings to Qian Kun.

Qian Kun needs to roughly build a numerical system according to the attack type/armor type and restraint relationship of each class and building, so as to achieve a dynamic balance between various clans and troops.

Su Jinyu had to make the original drawings of some of the troops according to some existing concept drafts, and then handed them over to an art outsourcing company for unified production.

As for the plot, Chen Mo just handed over the synopsis of the story related to "The Frozen Throne" to Zheng Hongxi, and asked him to publish a first draft of the plot (including the plot and campaign planning), and then slowly revise it.

After arranging these tasks, Chen Mo began to do the most critical part of the basic rules of the map.

Warcraft's map editor (WE) for short, is extremely powerful, and all the RPG mini-games that have blossomed since then came from this editor.

Moreover, it also gave birth to classic game genres such as Chenghai 3C, True Three and even DOTA, especially DOTA, which opened a long era of MOBA domination for the game circle.

Blizzard didn't know the terrifying energy of this editor at the beginning, but Chen Mo knew. It is precisely because the function of this map editor is so powerful that Chen Mo has to do it more seriously, and even do it better than in his previous life.

For this map editor, the big frame is not finished, and the mechanics of each hero (resurrection, rebirth, invincibility, etc.) will continue to be added and become an integral part of the editor's content.

In addition, Warcraft is rich in map elements.

The map settings include map size, terrain, surface material, land and water division, and so on.

In addition, the base setting also includes time (day and night), which affects the visual range of the mobs, whether they sleep or not, and even affects the battle strategy of different races.

Like the Night Elves, some heroes and classes can become invisible at night by standing still, regenerating health faster, and upgrading their vision at night, which is part of the canon.

Limited by the engine, the "Warcraft" in the previous life was not as smooth as the later "StarCraft 2" and MOBA games in terms of operation, which is also a point that can be improved for Chen Mo.

……

After that, it entered the process of steady research and development.

Chen Mo basically spends most of his time working as a world editor every day, and spends half of his time producing concept line drafts of various arms, buildings, and scenes, and handing them to Su Jinyu to color and complete.

This kind of line art doesn't need to be as detailed as the original card art, because players see the models in the game and can't see the pictures.

After all, with the concept map, you still have to make a model, and you have to adjust the action and collision volume to make the model, and there is a lot of work to be done in the future, so Chen Mo's concept draft must come out first, otherwise these tasks will be stuck.

The first floor of the experience store.

"Goldfish, can you tell me about the genre of the new game? Is it an RPG? Wen Lingwei said.

Su Jinyu said: "Oh, don't worry, won't you know when you make it." ”

Wen Lingwei said: "The main thing is that these concept drawings are really good, and I can't help but want to help you color." ”

Jia Peng also said: "It seems to be related to Azeroth, but this time it's not the Q version, could it be the realistic version of "My Name is MT"?" ”

Su Jinyu was speechless: "You also look down on the store manager too much, is the store manager the kind of person who has no discipline?" Change the art materials and then cheat money? ”

Wen Lingwei held her forehead: "What do you think?" ”

Zheng Hongxi said: "You have to worry too much about this. The new game has nothing to do with "My name is MT" at all, and is entirely based on the story of the Azeroth universe. ”

Jia Peng wondered: "Aren't the Azeroth universe and "My name is MT" the same thing? ”

Zheng Hongxi shook his head: "Of course it's not the same thing. Didn't you notice that the content on the Azeroth universe updated by the store manager is the background of "My name is MT". But the characters in "My Name is MT" have never appeared on the Azeroth universe. ”

Jia Peng thought for a moment: "Well, it seems to be ...... That's right. ”

Wen Lingwei was also puzzled: "Why? ”

Zheng Hongxi explained: "You still don't understand? Like the stupid thief and Musi, it is obviously not a normal Western fantasy name, it is simply a homonym for a thief and a priest. I guess the store manager is worried that everyone will not accept the Western fantasy theme, so he made such a Q version of the down-to-earth anime and mobile game for promotion. ”

"In other words, "My Name is MT" is equivalent to a side story, and it has nothing to do with the main plot of Azeroth."

Everyone suddenly realized: "I see! The store manager is really far-sighted. ”

Wen Lingwei frowned and said, "So, the store manager feels that the time is ripe now, so he plans to throw out the content of the real Azeroth universe?" ”

Zheng Hongxi nodded: "Yes." I can't reveal too much about the specifics, I can only tell you that the plot is really explosive. Yes, that's the word, hanging bomb sky. ”

Everyone: "...... Have you ever bragged so badly? ”

……

As everyone was talking, Chen Mo went downstairs.

"A new batch of line drawings has been delivered to you, Goldfish." Chen Mo said.

Su Jinyu received the packaged line draft, and everyone came over to watch.

It was a young man dressed in dark armor, with white hair and an evil look in his eyes.

Elsewhere in the painting, there are additional line drawings, a skeleton horse with four hooves galloping with demonic flames, and a two-handed sword engraved with magical inscriptions.

The line art bears the character's name: Arthas Minethir, along with his mount, Invincible, and his weapon, Frost Sorrow.

Su Jinyu: "The new hero of the undead clan? So handsome! ”

Wen Lingwei: "So handsome! Is this the main character? ”

Jia Peng: "Hmm...... It seems to be a villain, and this smile makes my back chill. ”

Zheng Hongxi: "Is the line draft of Alsace finally out?" Show me! Awesome! This feeling is awesome! ”

Everyone was raving about the line drawing.

Chen Mo's line drawings outline the characteristics of Arthas that are both good and evil, especially when combined with invincibility and frost sorrow, everyone can almost imagine Arthas commanding the Scourge Legion to sweep the entire Azeroth.

Just such an original painting is enough to make everyone's blood boil!

Everyone read this batch of line drafts one by one, and they were still a little unsatisfied.

Although the completion of these line drawings is not high, the typical characteristics of the characters are outlined in a few strokes, and in terms of setting, this level is already the top level, which is basically comparable to "The Supreme Ring"!

Wen Lingwei said: "Okay, I've decided, I'll color this line drawing, it's free!" ”
