Vol 10 Chapter 783: Castlevania·Lord of Shadows (1)

It has been a long time since Lin Yan came into this world. Now when I think about the first game at the beginning, even the start-up capital of 100,000 yuan has to be borrowed from Hu Ge. Now Looking at the series of zeros in his bank account, even Lin Yan felt like a world away.
But Lin Yan still hasn’t forgotten the two games he opened at the beginning. One is "Glory of the King". There are millions of people who are still online every day. Burning the sky is the enduring cash cow. One.
There is also the timeless classic "Devil May Cry" that is still known as the action game. Although compared with the later productions of "Asura's Wrath" and "God of War", it is basically The existence of the same level, but for players who are exposed to this level of action masterpiece for the first time, the shock brought by this game itself is the effect of a magnitude ten earthquake.
It turns out that action games can still be played like this. The original action games can reach this height. The original game itself can still have such a high degree of control and sense of accomplishment.
In short, the emergence of "Devil May Cry" broke the players' knowledge of the game in a short period of time, and even many game producers themselves have been crushed by some deep-rooted productions, especially from "Ghosts". "Weeping" and "Glory of the King" began, Lin Yan introduced the professional league system.
For Lin Yan, this is even more like a cash cow. Now every season, Lin Yan's income is calculated with one billion.
Think about it that one hundred thousand dollars could stump Lin Yan and make Hu Ge ruin his family, but now one billion yuan is just a large number of numbers for Lin Yan, far from the surprise of getting Hu Ge back then. .
It can be said that Lin Yan’s own success was self-willed and inevitable. The contingency was that Lin Yan had no money at the time. No one thought that Hu Ge could give Lin Yan’s provider 100,000 start-up funds. The inevitability lies in Lin Yan. Successfully grasped the most vulnerable place in the world's game industry, made a breakthrough in one fell swoop, and established his position in the game industry.
If the first "Glory of the King" played a blockbuster role in opening up the territory and expanding the land, then the later "Devil May Cry" played a battle to set the world, and burned the sky game such a game company with only Lin Yan. In a short period of time, it became a dark horse in the industry. As for the later games such as "Legend of Sword and Fairy", what is more correct is the role of stabilizing this position. The two games that really made a lot of money were the first two games.
It can be said that for the game industry at that time, these two games were completely groundbreaking and general, extremely representative classic masterpieces. The reason why Lin Yan suddenly remembered these two works was because he found himself It seems that it has not been a long time to make an action game, especially a technical action game like "Devil May Cry". I have to say that this is Lin Yan's own negligence.
You must know that action games are one of the two most basic game fields in the entire game industry. Action games and role-playing games can be said to be the two original categories of the entire game category, like the later shooting category and survival category. And so on, the game categories are basically small categories derived from these two categories.
Therefore, action games are a very large category, and technical action games, such as "God of War", "Ninja Dragon Sword", "Bayonetta", of course, and games like "Devil May Cry", but the whole One of the most high-end action games, at least has relatively high requirements for the player’s own technology, even the simplest difficulty is better than other games in terms of hand speed and reaction ability. Other games are demanding.
In the field of action, Lin Yan’s most influential is this high-tech action game. After all, "Devil May Cry", "God of War" or "Final Fantasy" in the fifth floor of Nanhai, are all very classic representative works in this regard. , The cool action scenes, the grand game scenes, have been talked about by the majority of players for a long time.
Even if Lin Yan hasn’t made action games for a long time, players on the Internet still have high expectations for Lin Yan. I hope that Lin Yan will show them a game whether from the senses or the soul. Both are extremely shocking feasts.
And this kind of feast can only be achieved by action games in Lin Yan's view.
So combined with various situations, especially the expectations of players, the next game Lin Yan has decided to make an action game, and it is a high-tech action game with certain technical requirements.
As for the blueprint of the game itself, Lin Yan already has an idea in his mind. There are two games to choose from. The two games themselves are rare classics among high-tech action games.
One is "Dante's Hell" and the other is "Devil City: Shadow King". It can be said that these two games have very good popularity and gaming experience in Lin Yan's past lives, and they are all based on magic. As the main content of the game, Lin Yan is still a little hard to choose.
It can be said that these two games themselves have many advantages, and they are very suitable for the blueprint requirements of the current game, but Lin Yan finally chose "Devil City: Shadow King", as for why this game was chosen, and It’s not like Dante’s Hell, but it’s mainly because Lin Yan feels that the main plot of the game "Devil City: Shadow King" is the type he prefers. Although the story is a bit old-fashioned, it is so old-fashioned. People like it, just like the story of the prince and the princess living together happily ever after. It is very old-fashioned, but always enduring.
What's more, there are still some changes in this old set, and there are new ideas in the old set.
Since it is impossible to find the gap in the production level of the game itself, Lin Yan will naturally start and go in other directions, so Lin Yan also pays more attention to the plot.
After all, even in action games that emphasize sensory experience, the plot is still the soul of the entire game. A good game plot can also make the game more flesh and blood and give players a better experience.
