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

In the conference room, Lin Zhaoxu asked, "Did he refuse?"

Xu Xiaojun nodded: "Yes, and his attitude is relatively firm."

Lin Zhaoxu was not surprised: "Things that were expected. An ambitious designer like him would definitely not hand over the game."

In the conference room, Lin Chaoxu, Xu Xiaojun and several designers of Dichao Interactive Entertainment were having a meeting, and Yan Zhenyuan was also there.

"I think Chen Mo should attach great importance to the world view of "Diablo". He should consider building this world view into a classic work of the same level as "Warcraft"," said Yan Zhenyuan.

Lin Zhaoxu leaned on the chair: "Since that's the case, the idea of ​​cooperating with Chen Mo will be invalid. Think about Plan B."

Yan Zhenyuan smiled: "What other plan B is there? It can only be all original."

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

Yan Zhenyuan thought for a while: "70%."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Yes, 70% is enough. Chen Mo is not able to make a game like Diablo into VR. Even if they start at the same time as us, they will not have any advantage."

Yan Zhenyuan said: "As long as Chen Mo doesn't cause trouble, everything will be easy. Although he is just an A-level designer now, it is very weird. He can always find all kinds of incredible angles and play some game types that seem to be cold."

Lin Zhaoxu smiled and said, "Old Yan, are you afraid of him too?"

Yan Zhenyuan shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid. I'm not like Qin Xiao. I still have to give some respect to this genius designer."

"Especially designers who can create a certain genre often have their own understanding of this genre. If you copy it rashly, you will easily be slapped in the face."

Lin Zhaoxu asked, "Then, do you know how to do this game?"

Yan Zhenyuan thought for a moment: "Actually, Diablo inspired us that the current domestic game feels seriously insufficient, especially in the RPG field, there are few games like "Diablo" that can bring players the ultimate thrill of killing, which is considered a market gap."

"If we also want to develop similar games, there are actually only two ways."

"The first is to make a PC side, but due to its limited performance, it can only be made into a third-person perspective. So no matter how we do it, this game will become a "copy" Diablo."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Indeed, this road cannot be done."

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

"Thinking about it, it should be pretty good. VR will not be limited by the vision problem, and at the same time it has a stronger ability to create a horror atmosphere. If you can really make the essence of "Dark", you should be able to sell it too much."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "So, what are you thinking about the charging model? Is it a stand-alone buyout or an internet connection?"

Yan Zhenyuan considered it for a while and said: "The risk of buying out a stand-alone player is very high. Diablo has a unique set of numerical and equipment mechanisms. Its later gameplay is actually only repeated monster swiping. Whether it can be successfully transplanted to VR is hard to say."

"The networking mode is relatively safe, but in this game where brushing is the main fun, the maximum limit of the player's team cannot be higher than five people, otherwise it will become a group fight and the atmosphere will be destroyed."

"So what I'm considering is to continue the essence of Diablo, allowing single-player mode or up to five-player teams to fight. In addition, allowing players to socialize and trade freely in the town. Or using the equipment system as the player's long-term pursuit."

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Well, I thought so too. Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you. The resources will be tilted towards this project first. You can let go of your hands and feet and don't worry too much."

Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Okay, I understand."

...

At present, within the Imperial Dynasty Interactive Entertainment, Qiu Jiang is also responsible for "Yuan of the Moon God" and Qin Xiao is responsible for "Wolf Soul". These two games are both the flagship products of Imperial Dynasty Interactive Entertainment, and they both cannot spare time.

The VR game developed by Yan Zhenyuan has begun to enter a stable period and is about to begin to decline later, so Lin Zhaoxu considered taking this opportunity to draw Yan Zhenyuan out and develop a new VR game project.

Just in time, 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, and it is tantamount to remaking a new game.

So Lin Zhaoxu first considered whether to 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 refused as expected.

Therefore, Lin Zhaoxu could only place this matter entirely on Yan Zhenyuan.

In fact, with Yan Zhenyuan's ability, Lin Zhaoxu was absolutely relieved.

Among the S-level designers Lin Chaoxu values ​​the most, Qin Xiao is a bit arbitrary, but has strong execution ability; Qiu Jiang has the most active ideas and many good ideas; while Yan Zhenyuan has very balanced abilities in all aspects, and he can make a small profit in the worst situation of the game he makes and will never encounter major failures.

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

...

Experience store.

Chen Mo was thinking about something and received a message.

Qiujiang: "Recently, Lao Yan seems to be going to make a "Dark" game with VR platform, so please pay attention."

Chen Mo was a little confused. He read the information twice. That's right, it was sent by Qiu Jiang.

What does this mean? A leak?

Chen Mo replied: "Which one of you?"

Qiujiang: "No one is the same. Actually, I remind you mainly to make some preparations. Don't let Lao Yan beat him all over the ground and look for teeth. That's so boring."

Chen Mo: "When you just want to see us fight each other? What's wrong with that?"

Qiujiang: "The nature of the melon-eating crowd is not OK?"

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly: "Actually, I knew it when Xu Xiaojun called me before. Your Emperor Dynasty must think this game is good again and I want to copy one. I know if you don't say it."

Qiu Jiang: "Okay, anyway, I have reminded you. Just play whatever you like, don't be fooled by Lao Yan. He has to develop this game for a year. Come on, I'm optimistic about you."

Chen Mo put away his phone and was a little speechless. Qiu Jiang can really make trouble!

However, Qiujiang's information is not completely useless. At least it will be revealed that it will take at least one year for Yan Zhenyuan to develop this VR game, which means that testing will not be available until August next year.

What can Chen Mo do?

Make a VR game in one 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 still has no experience in developing VR games at all.

Moreover, Chen Mo has already decided on a follow-up development plan and should not be modified randomly.
