You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 179 Everything Can Be Female (Please Order)

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. What the hell was this nonsensical title?

Liu Mengyuan whispered in his ear, "This might be Miss Wan's new project development plan."

"Everyone, please join me in witnessing the birth of a new world!"

She turned around gracefully and pressed the page-turning button on the PPT.

Soon, a fantasy-style world map appeared.

The map is marked with "Modern Lanya Kingdom"

At different locations on the map, there were some game reference pictures that Wan Xiaotong had found online. There were villages, kingdom castles, empire steel fortresses, Warcraft Mountains, Moonlight Forest...

It looks like a story set in a sword and sorcery world.

"Sword and magic? Pretty standard, right?"

Lu Yu held his chin and thought, this theme is not popular in the domestic game market, and domestic teams are not very good at making this type of game. The teams from the island country are better at it, for example, the most well-known is SE's "Dragon Quest" series.

But soon, Wan Xiaotong pressed the PPT page button, and a new map appeared on the screen.
"Future Kronos Federation"

The outline of this map is similar to the Lan Ya continent mentioned earlier, but there are some subtle differences. Some lands have become dead lands where no one has set foot due to war, and some lands seem to be affected by some supernatural power, breaking away from the ground and becoming floating islands.

The cities on the map also have a futuristic, sci-fi feel. Through the reference images provided by Wan Xiaotong, you can see futuristic sci-fi fortresses, industrial ruins, airships, and dome cities...

???

Lu Yu wondered, could it be that Wan Xiaotong wanted to focus on producing a near-future sci-fi RPG?
In other words, what she actually wanted to do was a story similar to Final Fantasy?

Seeing that everyone was becoming more and more confused, she curled her lips and pressed the page-turning button again.

This time, the map became "Ancient Tama Tribe"

The outline of the continent remains unchanged, but the landscape is more primitive, with ancient temples, crystal towers, flaming deserts and fairy swamps...

Seeing this, Lu Yu had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that what this girl wanted to do was... ?
As expected, the PPT continued to turn pages, showing the text description:

"An ultra-epic adventure that travels through ancient times, present times, and the future"

"Collect various cute girls to fight cutely and save time and space with the power of cuteness"

Next-generation cartoon rendering open world action mobile game - "Super Time and Space Moe Girls Tasting Guide"

Lu Yu opened his mouth wide and stood there in a daze.

I blanch??????
Ms. Wan Xiaotong,
I thought you were going to be a DQ or FF at most,

And then you tell me that you want to make a "Chrono Trigger" game?
That's the greatest RPG in the history of video games!
Not only do you want to make it, but you also want to evolve it into an open world + action game?

Lu Yu was a little panicked.

Also, this description looks quite normal, it doesn't seem like something a middle school girl like you could write.

Wan Xiaotong scratched his nose proudly:

"This strange world is where I, after twelve years of searching, unraveled my memories that had been sealed for a thousand years, and it has finally reappeared in the world!"

At this moment, a cute girl wearing thick glasses from the cat girl group stood up and said timidly:

"Hmm, I'm Xu Qin, the new copywriter for the Cat Girl team. I'm translating for Miss Wan.

She said that this idea of ​​a different world spanning three time periods was a story she had been conceiving since she was 10 years old.

By the way, the text descriptions on the PPT were translated by me after I tried to understand Miss Wan's true intention.

If there is anything you don't understand in Ms. Wan's speech later, I will translate it for you."

Lu Yu looked at Xu Qin with admiration,
Girl, thank you for your hard work. This translation work seems to be quite brain-consuming.

But then I thought, that's not right. Those who can pass the company's written test are people with unique thinking.
So, this is actually a kind of mutual respect among people of the same kind?

……

Afterwards, with the help of Xu Qin's translation, Wan Xiaotong gradually conveyed his design concept to everyone.

The core gameplay of this "Super Time and Space Moe Girl Appreciation Guide" is: "Everything can be girly."

In Wan Xiaotong's fantasy, which she had been conceiving since junior high school, scientists in the future world invented a super-powered crystal called "Moe Divine Crystal". Any creature that came into contact with this crystal, whether living or non-living, would be instantly feminized.
For example, after a creature comes into contact with it, it will turn into a slime girl, a squid girl, a fox girl, a cat girl, a horse girl...

After contact with the divine crystal, non-living things will transform into sword girls, gun girls, ship girls, and mecha girls... Even natural phenomena will transform into fire girls, snow girls, and wind girls after contact with the divine crystal...

In the game, players need to go on adventures, collect various cute girls, and form their own exclusive team.

In each battle, four girls will form a team to fight, but only one girl can appear at a time.
In the upper right corner of the screen, there are avatars of four cute girls. Click to switch.

In addition to the most basic basic attack, skills, big moves, and dodges in action games, the game also has a special combat system called "Moe System".

Each participating unit on both sides has a "cute value" attribute. When the cute girls use various means to act cute towards the enemy, they can accumulate cute value.
When the Momentum value reaches 100, the enemy will briefly enter the "Momentum Time and Space" state.
The flow of time around the enemy will slow down and enter a time-space rupture, which is somewhat similar to the witch time in "Bayonetta".
Players can take this opportunity to conduct crazy output.

Of course, players should also be careful to avoid being overwhelmed by the enemy's cute girls first, otherwise they will also be trapped in the cute time and space and unable to extricate themselves.

In other words, this combat system is a competition between the two sides' femininity and cuteness.

"..."

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

Wan Xiaotong's middle school fantasy, whether it is the world view of traveling through time and space, or the extraordinary system that everything can be feminine, is a bit too unorthodox. Not to mention action games, even in games of all genres, it is quite explosive.

Liu Mengyuan expressed everyone's concerns:
"Well, the combination of cuteness and action combat sounds very appealing, but how do you fight and be cute at the same time?"

Xu Qin listened to Wan Xiaotong's explanation and then translated it for everyone:

"First of all, every new cute girl will have her own special cute talent and cute killer skills.

In addition, every time the player switches to a cute girl, the new character will perform a special entrance and cute trick.

Making good use of the release and cooling timing of these skills will help to quickly accumulate the enemy's agitation value.

In addition, the attributes and values ​​of the cute girl's outfit will also affect the cuteness effect.

Moreover, there are various attribute restraint relationships in the game, such as——

"Black-heartedness overcomes tsundereness, tsundereness overcomes naturalness, and naturalness overcomes black-heartedness."

Lu Yu held his chin up and thought for a moment. To be honest, he was a little nervous. This game sounded like it had the potential to be a hit.
He forced himself to remain calm and asked:

"It sounds like a girly version of Pokémon. The cute girl design is very important.

There are two problems now. The first is that if we want to design many different systems and types of moe girls, the development cycle and workload will be huge problems.

Secondly, it’s difficult to satisfy everyone, and we have no way of knowing if the cute girls we designed are what players want, or whether they will be popular.”

Lu Yu's words actually deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of development and discouraged people from starting.

You just need to make a standard action game and let me complete the system tasks. Don't take such a big step!

After hearing this, Wan Xiaotong still confidently put her hands on her hips and said with a smile:

"The oracle of the god Noctis told me that it is precisely because everything is uncertain that everything is charming."

Xu Qin translated:
"Miss Wan means that because this game is an open world single-player game, it will give each player a great degree of freedom. All the cute girls that appear in the game are randomly generated by the system.

When the player first enters the game, the program will only drop common material components, such as items, creatures, natural elements, etc.

Players need to use the "Moe Divine Crystals" in their hands to personally select their favorite things and feminize them.

Each feminization process is completely random, which means that, in theory, no two identical cute girls will be born between different player accounts.

Although this game is a stand-alone game, it will provide limited social interaction. Players can visit other players' worlds and admire the unique cute girls they have cultivated. "

After listening to Xu Qin's introduction, the conference room fell into a brief silence again.

Technical Director Chu Xiong said:

“To be honest, if we develop in this way, it is indeed very risky.

The elves in "My Leisure Island Life" are all made in advance.
All the cute girls in this game are randomly generated using elements in the environment. No one knows what impact the generated things will have on the game system. This is a huge test for the game engine technology, numerical balance, and debugging capabilities.

Honestly, with our company's current R&D capabilities, doing so would inevitably bring about a great deal of instability."

After hearing this, Lu Yu was delighted.
Unstable factors? That's great! That's exactly what he wants!

So, he changed his mind instantly, and said in a very firm tone:
“I think Wan Xiaotong’s proposal is very good. We should all be bold in innovation!
What era is it now? Are you still making traditional action games? "
