Li Rushan in the audience stopped pretending and gave Lu Zhixing a thumbs up.
Otherwise, he is a game designer who has high hopes for himself. He is indeed not on the same level as other wastes!
There were several people who proposed some outrageous design plans before, such as national war-type horror games, love-development horror games, etc. However, Zhang Qi simply asked a few questions, and the group died down, unable to answer them at all.
Come up.
What is this called?
The design plan you came up with yourself was easily stopped by an investor. Did you design this plan carefully?
Even if you want to defraud money, no, you want to build a dream, you still have to put more effort into thinking about how to deceive investors, right?
Scumbag!
But Lu Zhixing was different. It looked like he was well prepared.
Faced with sudden and on-the-spot questions from investors, he can still respond calmly and fluently, and even make sense, which perfectly conceals the cheating nature of this game. What is this called? This is called Wolong's professionalism!
Li Rushan looked at Lu Zhixing and Zhao Haoyan in the audience, his eyes filled with admiration.
I have a sleeping dragon and a phoenix, so why worry about everything happening!
Zhang Qi continued to ask the next question.
"What do you think is the core fun of this game?"
Lu Zhixing replied: "The core fun is the same as other horror games. It uses tense excitement and game content of walking with death to create a feeling of accelerated heartbeat and adrenaline surge for players."
Zhang Qi: "Then do you think that after adding parkour elements, the player's mobility will be greatly enhanced, and will it weaken the player's sense of tension?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Of course, so I made a balance in the game. The protagonist cannot obtain weapons and can only escape. In order to avoid zombies, he is forced to crawl into dark places. In the narrow field of view of the night vision device, the darkness
It will have both 'safe' and 'dangerous' attributes, which can make up for the tension players lose due to increased mobility."
Zhang Qi: "General horror games are prone to aesthetic fatigue in the middle and late stages. How do you plan to solve this problem?"
Lu Zhixing: “Use the three systems I mentioned before.
“In the upper, middle and lower worlds, the scene style and level design will undergo huge changes, creating a sense of freshness for players;
“NPC and the fragmented plot system allow players to gradually piece together the entire plot during the exploration process;
“The gameplay of interacting with cats and solving puzzles can soothe players’ tense nerves at the right time, and when cats are in danger, it can also prompt players to advance the plot and go to the rescue.
"The above are all for players to experience the game in one week. When there are multiple games, players who like to pursue challenges can also experience random maps."
Zhang Qi fell into silence.
What Lu Zhixing said really answered his question.
Of course, just because some problems can be solved in design does not mean that they can also be solved in actual games. Many designers plan well when designing solutions, but once they are produced, it is not the case.
Zhang Qi still feels that this game is very unreliable, and has a feeling that it is difficult to trust Lu Zhixing no matter what.
But his responsibilities ended here. For such a project, he had no reason to prevent Li Rushan from investing.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qi asked the last question: "If you follow your design, the parkour gameplay should be the core system of this game. It is somewhat similar to the action system, and the production difficulty should be very high. As a new studio,
You have no experience in making a similar system before, how can you ensure that it can achieve the design effect you expected?"
Lu Zhixing said: "I will arrange for designers to experience parkour in person to truly implement this detailed design."
Zhang Qi was speechless for a moment: "This... is not necessary. In short, you just need to study the parkour system carefully. Especially as a VR version of the game, this system will be directly related to success or failure."
Obviously Zhang Qi didn't expect Lu Zhixing's answer to be "Let designers experience parkour for themselves." This was a bit too much. It was just a game, so it was not a mistake.
He actually asked this question just to confirm Lu Zhixing's attitude. He never expected to get a somewhat outrageous answer.
Zhang Qi looked at Li Rushan: "Mr. Li, I have no other questions. However, I still suggest that you should be cautious when investing in this project.
"In my judgment, although the success rate of this game is barely higher than the investment baseline, it is still not a very reliable investment project."
Although Li Shi asked Zhang Qi to check with Li Rushan whether he would lose power on some unreliable projects, there is a prerequisite for the exercise of this power, which is to strictly follow the estimated approximate success rate.
If the estimated success rate is too low, such as only 10% or 20%, then Zhang Qi can reject it without hesitation.
But the game "Walking with Darkness" seems to have a success rate of over 30%, which does not touch the red line.
Although its design is rather outrageous, Lu Zhixing's fluent answers on stage and his previous successful experience in "Ordinary Life" are both bonus points, distinguishing this game from other cheating games.
Therefore, considering all things considered, Zhang Qi did not stop him.
Of course, this "success rate" is also Zhang Qi's own judgment, and he can forcefully deny it.
But he is very clear about his position: a tool man sent by Mr. Li.
Therefore, he will not involve too many subjective emotions, but will only carry out his tasks strictly in accordance with the requirements. As long as it is not too outrageous, he will not veto it.
In other words, if Li Rushan really launched a bunch of projects that seemed reliable and lost all 500 million, it would be within the agreement and Zhang Qi would not stop him.
Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Li Rushan was instantly excited.
"Is it higher than the investable baseline? Okay, then I officially announce that the first place in this Dream Building Game Design Competition is "Walking with Darkness"!"
Zhang Qi was speechless for a moment. After I said so much, you heard the sentence "higher than the investable baseline", right?
He lowered his voice and reminded: "Mr. Li, there are other projects coming up, don't you want to look at them anymore?"
Li Rushan stood up: "Don't read it, don't read it. Mr. Lu, come, let's discuss the details of the investment."
After saying that, he affectionately took Lu Zhixing's hand and went to the reception room at the back.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Are you so hasty? There are many game projects in the future that you haven’t looked at yet! Does this immediately determine the number one spot?
Many designers sigh with regret, 10 million angel investment!
Among them, there were those who had been on stage before but were rejected by Zhang Qifou. They regretted why they were confused on stage and why they were questioned. If they had persevered, they might have survived.
There were also those who didn’t have time to come on stage. They felt that Lu Zhixing was just lucky, and my design was outrageous. If Mr. Li had seen it earlier, maybe the first place would be mine!
But there was no use sighing. Li Rushan took Lu Zhixing's hand, and it was like falling in love at first sight. No one else had a chance.
However, the game design competition still has to go through the process normally, after all, the subsequent plans may be favored by other investors present.
…
In the reception room, Li Rushan asked his assistant to bring the printed contract.
"Mr. Lu, please see, this is the prepared investment contract.
“To put it simply, my investment will not have any impact on the specific operations of 404 Studio, and you will still operate completely independently.
"If I lose the ten million yuan, it's all mine.
"Of course, if you make a profit unfortunately, I will take 20% of your profit, and the maximum cap is 14 million.
"So, you should know exactly what to do, right?"
Li Rushan winked at Lu Zhixing and hinted wildly.
Lu Zhixing took the contract, which could be described as a charity gift agreement, and flipped through it carefully, and asked, "Is this standard contract customized by you, Mr. Li?"
Li Rushan chuckled: "That's natural. This is an amount that was determined after wrangling with the old man for a long time."
Lu Zhixing nodded slightly: "Yes, I can see it."
Li Rushan suddenly realized something and hurriedly added: "By the way, it's okay if you know this and I know it, but please don't spread it outside!"
Lu Zhixing said righteously and sternly: "Don't worry, Mr. Li treats me as a national scholar, and I will repay him as a national scholar!"
Li Rushan asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, tell me in private, how sure are you of this game?"
Lu Zhixing thought for a while: "Nine and a half percent?"
Li Rushan laughed out loud: "Mr. Lu, you mean 95% out of 100%, right? It's quite humorous. Okay, you can take a closer look at the contract, or take it back to the company's legal affairs
It’s okay to take a look, and if there’s no problem, we’ll sign it.”
