htmlOn August 24, the official account of "Yanyun Sixteen Sounds" of B station was established, and "Yanyun Sixteen Sounds" was released! "The first 5-minute real-time game of the domestic open world Cologne Exhibition" has aroused heated discussions among countless players. So far, the video has more than 3.5 million views on B station, and more than 13,000 comments, with many supporters.
This is not surprising. Chinese people love the affair and chivalrous morality of the martial arts world. The work also takes a unique approach in the story design, starting from the five generations and ten countries, and the mountains and rivers are broken, and narrating the inner expression on the dusty history.
Of course, there are also many doubts. The official also explained quickly, saying that it is Everstone, a new studio supported by NetEase Investment. It is composed of a group of game veterans who have worked in various game companies and young people who love games. I am very grateful to NetEase for its choice. It has been more than 3 years of research and development. Moreover, the goal of "Yanyun Sixteen Sounds" is an open world RPG game with unique Chinese martial arts sentiment, with full platform release, single-player mode and multiplayer mode.
After showing his face, the official account of "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" began to be updated frequently.
Especially after the video of the first exposure of the actual machine was released, the official also narrowed the distance with the player by calling himself "Yan Shiliu". The players also recognized it very much and even gave it a better nickname - Pomegranate Brother.
Pomegranate Brother has a very broad future. In recent years, domestic games have been extremely fast in going overseas. The R&D strength of domestic manufacturers is also refreshing everyone's cognition through the advancement of one game after another, and active in an international perspective. In particular, my country is paying more and more attention to going overseas for cultural products. Many policy support and the efforts of related enterprises and staff are gradually enhancing the dissemination of Chinese culture.
The heavy carrying of martial arts culture is the special feature of "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun". At the same time, this value also gives the game a more mysterious core and attracts the attention of overseas players. After the first exposure, "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" quickly reached the 16th place in the hot search for Twitter , and well-known media such as TGA founder and IGN gave affirmation and reports.
"Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" is a domestic open world work that breaks the formation. At first glance, it is a bit confused. Fortunately, Brother Pomegranate did not keep it in the way of breaking the formation.
pointing the acupoints, allowing martial arts to integrate into the open world
html On September 4, "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" released a more detailed Q&A, which also made the image of the work clearer.
For example, choosing an unpopular era background like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to narrate is to avoid those dynasties that frequently appear in literary and artistic works and make different content. Moreover, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is an unordered era. Because the two prosperous eras of the Tang and Song dynasties were connected, a very diverse and inclusive culture was produced, and legendary stories were naturally indispensable. Therefore, both art and plot creation have great creative space.
As for why it is called "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun", it actually combines Yanyun Sixteen Sounds of and Later Zhou ministers Wang Pu to describe the diverse and inclusive humanities and historical culture of the land of China, and can also tell the microcosm of the big era in the small people.
To be fair, the choice of "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" is very innovative, but it is also full of risks. The unpopular era background brings mystery, but it also tests the creators' understanding of that history even more. And how to use history to express the understanding of the times and avoid those potentially small minefields when reference is extremely limited. It has to be said that this choice is truly bold.
Regarding the fancy action content in the first exposure, the official confessed that the video is only a level display, but each interactive point involved, such as pointing acupuncture, collecting clues, running around the wall and running, etc., is an independent mechanism and can be used at will in other scenarios.
acupoints are also one of the hot topics of players. The official confirmed the previous speculations of players and admitted that the diversified display of acupoints is also one of the elements that integrate Chinese martial arts puzzles into the open world. Therefore, in the game, players will have different effects when clicking on different acupoints. The official statement shows that the fixed, laughing and even fatal acupoints in classic martial arts will appear in the game, and not only point acupoints to humans, but also to animals.
This operation involves designing from one perspective, combining the essence of martial arts to extend huge variables, and acupoints have too many mysterious content to be explored. A small sunflower acupoint hand in "Wu Lin Waizhi" that year extended many stories, and it is still talked about by countless people. The use of acupoints will bring great freshness to domestic and overseas users.
stole is a skill combination
acupoint filling, it is one of the links that cleverly integrates martial arts culture and the open world. The official also gave a certain explanation for the larger creative ideas.
is like the coexistence between the concept of sects and the coexistence between sects. In the real and free martial arts world, there are many factions coexisting with prodigal sons, and players can choose freely.
Perhaps the open world that "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" wants to present is the free and unrestrained deep interaction between players and their surroundings in the vast world, in "Learn first by practicing martial arts__! What are Yan Yun Rangers who have no sects and no sects studying? 》 has given several examples in the article "The official article "The Drunken Boxing . If you want to learn , Drunken Boxing , players may need to use the operation of drinking to train and explore, and then learn this martial arts after drinking hard.
or the "dragon spitting fire" that shocks foreign friends. Perhaps it is learned from street acrobatics. In addition to attacking and defending, it will not lose the "ability" of the fire itself, such as cooking, burning roadblocks, burning fire to keep warm in cold weather, igniting things that may explode, etc. The player's ability is just a means of using fire. The whole world retains the effect of fire, retains more possibilities for its interaction with the world, and also gives "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" a unique martial arts puzzle.
"Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" also playfully explains an idea, that is, there is no need to stick to any kind, because throughout the ages, most heroes have all the martial arts in the world. In other words, this idea is the relaxation of skills and the ever-changing skill combination, which brings about the divergence of players' thinking in martial arts.
In official terms, it is stubbornly adhering to the "composite matching" design, allowing all skills to be freely matched and combined, and any skills can be seamlessly combos. At the same time, you can also use a variety of weapons to match them, opening up more possibilities in gameplay.
official also briefly introduces the mechanism of stealing the master in the game, but it is necessary to observe in advance, make plans, hide and crouch, complete the mastermind plan, that is, the design of the stealth gameplay part, and secretly learn skills in battle. I don’t know if there is a limit on the martial arts learned by players. The design of this part needs to be expressed in more detail by the official.
makes the open world as rich as possible
first released in the two months since its first release, the official has not only popular science and interaction, but has almost explained the creative ideas of art and combat. Although it is a brief explanation, it has indeed made players feel a secret.
A variety of character designs, the official references to ancient paintings, murals, statues, etc. from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods, creating a sense of the times and adding some little thoughts. He also created many characters who pursue the texture of real martial arts, so that the sense of power and heaviness can be displayed.
Officially describes the map of "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" with a three-dimensional structure map that is transparent inside and outside. The purpose is to improve the utilization rate of the map. Every building seen by players, no matter how big or small, can be entered. The way of entry has become very diverse due to the placement of the buildings. It can be moved and can be passed through, and the corridor can even be played with hide and seek.
In order to make the atmosphere of martial arts stronger, "Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun" also created a towering mountain peak, allowing players to experience what is so cold that it is. In addition to traps, there are also secret rooms for mechanisms that are worth exploring, which can be said to have used the concept of space to the extreme.
For the combat system, the idea that "Yanyun Sixteen Sounds" follows is the design of "the stronger the stronger the weak, the weak can also become stronger". The way to achieve it is through two combat mechanisms that can turn the tables against the wind. One is a perfect counterattack. When fighting, seize the right opportunity to release dodge and block, and you can enter bullet time and produce a set of output.
The second is the exhausted state where the character is exhausted. The enemy in the exhausted state will lose the ability to dodge and cannot dodge in time, but the duration is limited, but this also tests the player's operations. The two designs of
are more consistent with the consistent strategic combat design ideas of action games, which are considered to be fair.
first questioned, and then believed that
In early October, foreign media interviewed the developers of "Yanyun Sixteen Sounds" and learned that the first beta version will be launched this year. I don't know if the votes will be delayed, but in terms of time, it has been very fast.
4 months ago, "Yongdao" announced that its sales have been successful over 10 million. Its success is a recognition of domestic R&D capabilities, and it also confirms the recognition of global users' recognition of high-quality martial arts content products.
"Yanyun Sixteen Sounds" also has this potential. High-quality content will become its driving force for overcoming obstacles. The official also expressed the attitude of taking successful people as a teacher, but maintaining the bottom line and not copying it. At the same time, combining the unique content of Chinese martial arts in the creation process, it forms its own style.
At least for now, Pomegranate Brother is worthy of trust.
