On the other end of the phone, Xu Xiaojun hung up the phone a little helplessly.

In the conference room, Lin Zhaoxu asked, "He refused?" ”

Xu Xiaojun nodded: "Yes, and the attitude is more resolute." ”

Lin Zhaoxu was not surprised: "Expected." An ambitious designer like him would definitely not hand over the game. ”

In the conference room, Lin Zhaoxu, Xu Xiaojun and several designers of Imperial Mutual Entertainment were in a meeting, and Yan Zhenyuan was also there.

"I think Chen Mo should attach great importance to the worldview of "Diablo", and he should consider making this worldview a classic of the same level as "Warcraft"." Yan Zhenyuan said.

Lin Zhaoxu leaned back in the chair: "In this case, the idea of cooperating with Chen Mo is invalid, think about Plan B." ”

Yan Zhenyuan smiled: "What else is there to plan B, it can only be all original." ”

Lin Zhaoxu looked at him: "Are you sure?" ”

Yan Zhenyuan thought for a while: "Seventy percent." ”

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Yes, seventy percent is enough." Chen Mo doesn't have the ability to make a game like Diablo into VR now, and on the Zen side, even if they start at the same time as us, they won't have any advantage. ”

Yan Zhenyuan said: "As long as Chen Mo doesn't make trouble, everything is easy to say." Although he is only an A-level designer now, he is very evil, and he can always find all kinds of unbelievable angles to play some game types that seem to be cool. ”

Lin Zhaoxu smiled: "Boss, why are you afraid of him?" ”

Yan Zhenyuan shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid. I'm not Qin Xiao's kind of dumbfounded, and I still have to give a little respect to this kind of genius designer. ”

"Especially designers who can create a certain genre often have their own understanding of this genre, and it is easy to be slapped in the face if they copy it rashly."

Lin Zhaoxu asked: "Then, do you have a good idea of how to do this game?" ”

Yan Zhenyuan thought for a while: "Actually, what inspired us from "Diablo" is that the current domestic games are seriously lacking in coolness, especially in the RPG field, there are very few games like "Dark" that can bring players the ultimate killing pleasure, which is a market gap. ”

"If we want to develop a game like this, there are really only two ways."

"The first is to do it on PC, but due to the form of expression, it can only be made from a third-person perspective, so no matter what we do, this game will become a game that 'copys' Diablo."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Indeed, this road will not work." ”

Yan Zhenyuan continued: "So our best choice is to do VR, and try to make such a refreshing game in VR games. ”

"It's good to think about it, VR is not limited by the problem of vision, and at the same time has a stronger ability to create a terrifying atmosphere, if it can really make the essence of "Dark", it should be a big hit."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "So, what do you think about the charging model?" Is it a stand-alone buyout, or is it networked? ”

Yan Zhenyuan thought about it for a while and said, "The risk of a stand-alone buyout is very high. Diablo has a unique set of stats and equipment mechanics built into it, and its later gameplay is actually only repeated monster farming, and it's hard to say whether it can be transplanted to VR or not. ”

"The networking mode is relatively safe, but in this kind of game where brushing is the main fun, the maximum number of players in the squad cannot be higher than five people, otherwise it will become a group fight, and the atmosphere will be ruined."

"So I thought about continuing the essence of Diablo and allowing for solo or up to five people in a team. In addition to this, players are allowed to socialize and trade freely in towns. Or take the equipment system as a long-term pursuit for players. ”

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Well, I think about it too." Okay, since that's the case, this matter will be handed over to you, and the resource side will give priority to this project, and you can do it without worrying too much. ”

Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Okay, I understand." ”

……

At present, within Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment, Qiu Jiang is also responsible for "The Oracle of the Moon God", and Qin Xiao is responsible for "Wolf Soul", both of which are the fist products of Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment, and the two of them can't spare time.

And the VR game developed by Yan Zhenyuan before has begun to enter a stable period, and it is about to start to decline, so Lin Zhaoxu considered taking this opportunity to transfer Yan Zhenyuan out and develop a new VR game project.

It just so happened that Diablo gave them some inspiration.

Of course, changing Diablo from a third-person perspective on PC to a VR game is a very difficult thing to do, and it is tantamount to remaking a new game.

Therefore, Lin Zhaoxu first considered whether he could let Chen Mo and Yan Zhenyuan cooperate, which would be equivalent to a strong alliance, and the risk would be minimized. Although the probability of Chen Mo agreeing is very small, it is also worth asking.

As a result, Chen Mo unsurprisingly refused.

Therefore, Lin Zhaoxu can only pin this matter completely on Yan Zhenyuan.

In fact, in terms of Yan Zhenyuan's ability, Lin Zhaoxu is absolutely assured.

Among Lin Zhaoxu's most important S-level designers, Qin Xiao is a little arbitrary, but his execution is extremely strong; Qiujiang's ideas are the most lively and have many good ideas; Yan Zhenyuan, on the other hand, has a very balanced ability in all aspects, and he can make a small profit in the worst case of the game he makes, and he will never suffer a major failure.

Therefore, Lin Zhaoxu still thinks that it is most appropriate to hand over this project to Yan Zhenyuan.

……

Experience the store.

Chen Mo was thinking about things when he received a message.

Qiu Jiang: "Recently, it seems that Yan is going to make a VR platform-like "Dark" game, you pay attention. ”

Chen Mo was a little confused, he read this information twice, that's right, it was sent by Qiujiang.

What does this mean, leaks?

Chen Mo replied, "Who the hell are you?" ”

Qiu Jiang: "It's not either, in fact, I remind you mainly to let you make some preparations, don't be unaware at that time, let Lao Yan fight all over the ground to find teeth, how boring." ”

Chen Mo: "You just want to see the two of us pinching each other?" What's wrong. ”

Qiujiang: "The nature of the people who eat melons, no? ”

The corners of Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly: "Actually, I knew when Xu Xiaojun called me before, and your emperor must think this game is good and want to copy one." If you don't say it, I know it in my heart. ”

Qiu Jiang: "Okay, anyway, I reminded you, how you like to play, just don't be made to lie down by Boss Yan." He has to develop this game for a year, come on, I'm optimistic about you. ”

Chen Mo put away his mobile phone, a little speechless, this Qiujiang is really capable of making trouble!

However, Qiujiang's information is not completely useless, at least it is revealed that Yan Zhenyuan will develop this VR game for at least a year, that is, it will not be open for testing until August next year.

What can Chen Mo do?

Do you want to make a VR game in a year, and launch it at the same time as Yan Zhenyuan's game?

It's a bit unrealistic, after all, this time is too short, and Chen Mo doesn't have any experience in VR game development at all.

Moreover, Chen Mo has already set a follow-up development plan, and it is not appropriate to change it randomly.

"Think about it, what the hell is to do?"
