Vol 3 Chapter 9: 5 "Crycry Nero"! The first sequel!

【Picture-Nero】
As for the concept of "hosting an e-sports game is equal to losing money" in the hearts of players, Lin Yan still has a great say.
He remembered that the parallel world Yaoyu Culture and Perfect World had undertaken the qualifications to host the DAC Asia Invitational and the DOTA2 International Invitational Eastern District Qualifier in 2015.
For these two events, the total undertaking income was 5.04 million yuan, but the total undertaking costs were as high as 31.03 million yuan, and the net loss was 25.9 million yuan. It can be said that they lost money to accompany grandma's home!
Even for the entire 14 years, the Dota League DSPL has been in a state of loss. If it hadn't been supported by feelings, the organizers would have cancelled it long ago.
However, Lin Yan does not think that e-sports competitions and so on = losing money.
You know, before the start of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, all previous Olympics have been a huge burden on the host country. Not many people are willing to take the initiative to take the thankless sports game.
At that time, the "Olympics" was almost rejected by most governments.
Until 1984, the then Olympic Games chairman Uberroth pioneered the "private model" of the Olympics. By raising the threshold of sponsorship, paying for broadcasting, etc., without government subsidies and unable to increase the burden on taxpayers, through the sale of TV broadcasting. Market-oriented means such as the right to open up financial resources, not only spent 500 million yuan to successfully host the Olympics, but also realized 240 million yuan in profits.
Since then, the Olympics has become a tempting big cake. It has changed from "losing money and earning praise" to the "excellent business opportunity" for the host countries.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Lin Yan can see through the fog on the road ahead. He has full confidence in successfully hosting this national e-sports competition and making huge profits from it.
In this respect, Lin Yan is not a "conscience game developer" unanimously recognized by players.
However, with the free of Glory Heroes, Hero Blades and the low price of Weeping Ghosts, the title of "Industry Conscience" has been pinned to Lin Yan's forehead, shining brightly.
Even his competitors will not refute this.
This is the powerful inertial influence of the first impression.
After becoming the leader of the one-star development team of the GGA Alliance, Lin Yan automatically had an account on the official GGA website.
After logging on to the homepage of the Game Review Alliance, Lin Yan saw that among his nine optional tasks, he happened to have the task of making a game sequel.
The GGA League ranking points algorithm is complicated. If you play the game normally, you can increase without receiving alliance tasks, but the points don’t come quickly.
Only if it is ranked in the top ten among the one-star team, it has the basic qualifications to advance to the two-star game development team.
Lin Yanshun took the "sequel" task and soon saw the update of the data list on the GGA homepage.
"Fentian Game Development Team."
"Rating: 1 star."
"Ranking: NO.188"
"Company location: Dongfang."
"Master: Lin Yan."
"Capital reserves: 52.58 million dollars."
"Mode: Peripheral-Lin Yan dictatorship (confirmed); Core-elite cooperation (to be investigated)."
"Types of expertise: MOBA online games, action-adventure and single-player themes of Xianxia."
"Potential rating: S."
Lin Yan's heart is transferred, game development artifact, start!
In his pitch-black eyes, a little bit of brilliant light flashed, and he said: "I want to develop the [sequel] of "Cry Ghost"!"
"Please confirm the size of the game!"
"Of course it's a big game!"
"[The sequel] consumes half of the new work! Five million dollars have been deducted from the host's account."
"In the collection and analysis of the advantages of "Crying Ghost", the analysis is completed, and the basic framework has been completed. The host is requested to supplement the plot and gameplay according to his own wishes."
In an instant, Lin Yan felt a lot of information in his mind.
Judging from this information, the general framework and the coolness of the game, and the core gameplay are similar to those of the parallel world "Cry Ghost 4", except that some subtle points are more considered, and the slightest advantages of the previous game have not been overlooked.
Lin Yan started to outline the background, content and plot of the game in his mind.
Isolated island, Fortuna city, Magic Sword Order...
Knight Commander Credo of the Order, Heroine Ji Liye, Burly Scientist Agnas, Pope...
Nero’s demon’s right wrist, "Crimson Queen" great sword, with gun "Blue Rose", broken Yan Mo knife...
Dante’s "Gilgamesh" armor is like a suitcase’s fire weapon "Pandora", the rose sword "Lucifer"...
After the most basic setting is constructed, the plot is filled.
In May Cry 4, Nero's life experience has always been a mystery. Capcom only mentioned the relationship between Nero and Virgil in official information five years after the release of May Cry 4.
It is recorded in Kabi’s official novel that a grim man with white hair and a Yan Modao once went to Fortuna (the location of the story of Nero the Weeping Ghost), and then a woman in the small town gave birth to Nero. Virgil only met Arkham, the big bald head of the third generation, and learned of the existence of the Devil Tower. Then, the story of Dante's True Story began.
Lin Yan does not intend to make changes on this, but the plot will inevitably change.
After all, if it were developed completely according to Capcom’s plot, Virgil would remain in the Demon World at the end of the Demon Cry 3 story, and was finally defeated by the Demon Emperor, the ruler of the Demon World, and transformed into a black knight. Dante kills the unknown truth.
Lin Yan felt that Virgil's fate did not conform to his own aesthetics.
He likes the character of Virgil, so...
He didn't allow Virgil to die!
In fact, the Virgil Hell Overlord Special is Lin Yan's original content-he likes to watch those games develop according to his own ideas and control.
So Lin Yan asked Virgil to overthrow the Devil, ascended to the throne of Purgatory Overlord, and crowned as King.
What must be the fate of the black knight who must die by his brother, let it go to hell!
Character determines fate. It can be said that among the descendants of Sparta, Virgil is the most powerful one!
The reason why he has repeatedly failed is only because the creator Ka Biao hoped to promote the theme of pursuing truth, goodness and beauty and abandoning the desire for power.
Because of the existence of "Crycry Virgil Hell Overlord", it is naturally impossible for Lin Yan to follow the original "Crycry 4".
As a result, Nero went from a wage earner used by the Holy See Knights to a solo person who completed the "dirty work" assigned by the Order to become an honorary demon hunter of the Order due to interest. In the plot, there are occasional ones. Traces of Virgil emerged.
The same is the eternal unchangeableness in Nero's bones, and his contempt for the faith of the Order...
Development progress: 5%
13%...
20%...
35%...
Time flies, fleeting, in the blink of an eye, it is a day later.
Lin Yan devoted himself to game development and enjoyed this process very much.
"The development progress has reached 100%! Congratulations to the host for completing the second work of the "Cry Ghost" series. Please continue to work hard and climb the peak to create a new glorious chapter!"
When he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that he had been awake for more than twenty hours! The water has not entered!
"call……"
"In this way, there will be no flaws and loopholes in the plot, and the coolness is guaranteed!" Lin Yan sighed deeply, feeling extremely excited mentally, but physically tired.
"The game is developed! The initial capacity is 12G, and this game is compatible with platforms such as XBOX, PC, PS4..."
"Whether to perform deep compression? After optimizing the core data algorithm, the capacity of this game can reach 3.1G, which will cost an additional 2.5 million dollars! Please choose carefully!"
Lin Yan curled his lips. He is quite a local tyrant who is not what he used to be: "It's more than two million, let's take it!"
"The funds have been deducted, and the data algorithm is being optimized...The capacity is compressed! The current capacity is 3.1G, please confirm the name of the sequel to "Cry Ghost"!"
Lin Yan's dark eyes cleared for a moment, the corners of her lips lightly raised, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Just call it..."
""Crying Ghost·Nero"!",,..
