Chapter 900 A little toy casually made
Translator 549690339
âOn the internet, there were many players who inexplicably missed the two-player mode of super Mali. â
âAfter such a long time, many people had actually forgotten about the game, but the hot sales of pro had brought a lot of new blood to super Mali, so the topic inexplicably became lively again. â
A lot of people went back to play super Mali and found that the design concept of the game was still very advanced!
âEspecially the sense of the controller and the two-person mode. Until now, there didnât seem to be a single game on the entire Thunderbolt gaming platform that could reach the level of super Mali. â
âA lot of players were sighing, too bad Chen Mo didnât know how to count 2! â
âIf they continued to develop this ââtwo-player mode,ââ they might be able to develop more fun games. â
âAlthough super Maliâs two-person mode was very fun, the game was a bit old after all, and most players were already tired of it. â
Some players had an idea and came up with a genius idea.
âââHow about we change Legend of Zelda to two-player mode? One person controlled link, the other controlled Zelda! The plan works!ââ â
âââThen Iâll act as link and youâll act as Zelda. Youâll play with cannon in the castle the whole time,ââ one of the players said. â
âThe player who proposed the genius idea was very dissatisfied.ââââBut I really think the two-player mode is fun! After playing super Mali again, my girlfriend and I didnât have any more games to play!ââ â
This simple sentence immediately triggered a strong reaction from the other players.
âââAlright, alright, I know you have a girl now. Get lost!ââ â
âââThe two-person mode isnât easy to do, do you even need to say that? Thereâs a reason why this game isnât popular ...ââ â
âââI think Chen Mo should just keep on developing something as amazing as Legend of Zelda. Whatâs so fun about two-person games?ââ â
âObviously, most players knew that not all games could change to two-player mode. â
âThe two-player mode of super Mali was more of a shortcut, but it also required the support of the gameâs mechanism. It could be said that if one wanted to create a two-player mode, then the game had to be considered from the very beginning as a key point. The approach of a single-player game and a two-player game was completely different. â
âWhat if the two players in duo mode played the two protagonists, and not purely a cooperative relationship like Mali and capi? There would be even more problems to deal with, and many designers might not even know what to do. â
âFrom the playstyle to the script to the shots, everything might have to be redesigned, and everything would be completely different from the mainstream single player mode. â
âOf course, the ââtwo-player modeââ here didnât refer to the online mode of online games. If it was online, let alone two people, even dozens of people wouldnât be a problem. The two-person mode here referred to something like super Mali, where two players on the same screen worked together, and the two characters were part of the game itself. â
âMany players still felt that it was a pity. The Switch pro was selling so well, if Chen Mo could make a two-player game that perfectly adapted to the Switch, it would be a hit! â
......
âââMr. Chen, Iâve looked through the art resources you asked me to collect before. We can use the resources from mysterious seas. If you donât have any, you can also find them in the art resource library.ââ Zhou Hanyu said. â
âZhou Hanyu was now the art director of the entire Thunderbolt Entertainmentâs R & D team, fully in charge of the art progress of each project. At the same time, he was also in charge of the entire resource library. â
âTwo days ago, Chen Mo gave him a list of art resources, mainly the gameâs scenes and props. He wanted to confirm if the art resources could be taken out from the library, or if there were parts that needed to be made on their own. â
âAfter a quick look, Zhou Hanyu realized that more than 90% of the resources here could be taken directly from the warehouse. â
âChen Mo nodded.ââThatâs good. If the art resources are okay, the main work will be on the playstyle and motion capture. The game should be able to be developed in two weeks or even shorter.ââ â
âZhou Hanyu was a little hesitant.ââManager,ââ he asked,ââcould this game be a sequel to mysterious seas?ââ â
âââEh? No, itâs not. ââ Chen Zhao shook his head. â
âZhou Hanyu was a little surprised.ââItâs mainly because I feel that the scenes in this story are very similar to those in âmysterious waters.â Some of the scenes ... Even feel like theyâre repeated. Thatâs why I thought that it might be a new script for the âmysterious watersâ series.ââ Come to think of it, itâs a little too similar to mysterious seas ...ââ â
âZhou Hanyu didnât finish his sentence as he thought it was inappropriate. He thought that Chen Mo was going to use the resources to create a DLC or Side Story for mysterious sea, but after some thought, Chen Mo never did anything like that. â
âHowever, if Chen Mo said he could finish it in two weeks, then the game didnât look like a big production at all ... â
Zhou Hanyu himself was a little confused and couldnât figure out what Chen Mo was planning.
âChen Mo smiled.ââPerfect, Iâve finished the storyboard. Iâll send it to your email now. Take a look.ââ In fact, we can start preparing now. This game is just a small thing anyway. Itâs easy to make, and it doesnât take much effort. ââ â
âZhou Hanyu returned to his seat. A moment later, he received the script and storyboard from Chen Mo. â
âHowever, after reading the beginning, Zhou Hanyu was stunned. â
âââThis is a ... Two-person game?ââ â
âIt was no wonder that he was very surprised, because ââtwo-person gamesââ were really too niche. â
âThinking about it, it made sense. Now that everyone was so busy with work, it would be a pain in the ass if they couldnât play a game by themselves, and they had to play it together. â
âMoreover, this game was equivalent to a single-player game! All the players with friends had gone to play online games, and the two of them were playing a single player game ... What kind of strategy was this? â
âAs he continued reading, Zhou Hanyu realized that his views were constantly being refreshed. â
âThis was truly a game with two main characters. Moreover, the storyboard of this game was extremely cool, at the movie-level standard. â
âSince the game was in first person, the difference wasnât too big and was still within acceptable range. â
âHowever, on the Switch platform, the two of them played the game on the same screen, and there were many split-screen operations in the game. As the story progressed, the gameâs storyboard always firmly grasped the playerâs emotions. Zhou Hanyu thought about it and felt that the storyboard was amazing. â
It was the storyboard standard of a first-class film director!
âHowever, in terms of art resources, this game was indeed similar to mysterious seas, but it was only ââsimilarââ. The gameâs playstyle and plot were completely different from mysterious seas. â
âZhou Hanyu finally understood. Chen Mo had indeed made this game after The Legend of Zelda, so he didnât really care about it. â
âHowever, such a small thing would probably overturn some of the players âinherent knowledge of the game ... â
