Chapter 407 Mysterious Sea and Mysterious Game

On the morning of the second day.

Just when Ge Shengli was still immersed in the excitement of finding a like-minded team.

He had no idea that the work of this team had been placed in the meeting room of Naughty Cat.

A line of words was displayed on the big screen.

"My World Annual Event"

"The first thing. My World Annual Event, the English name is Minecon." Lin Mo explained, "We will hold a player event where players from all over the world can participate online to show the shocking wonders of the year. At the same time, the update content for the new year will be announced. Three months is a small cycle and one year is a large cycle. This year's Minecon will start the first phase in December, and a new game will be announced at the same time."

The example shown is Stormwind and Orgrimmar, which have been very popular on video websites recently.

These two videos attracted many players from both sides to experience each other, and the number of players also ushered in a rapid increase.

Although, for the time being, the number of players is still not high in the Naughty Cat game.

But all the designers of Naughty Cat are very confident about it.

When the project was established, they were not optimistic and thought it was a small game to show the performance of the game cabin.

But after a deep experience, many people fell in love with the feeling of being able to express their talents and create a world in their own world.

This game will be a hit.

This is what many people think.

"Then the second thing is. The development of the 1.0 version of World of Warcraft, the old world, has come to an end, and the 2.0 version, the Burning Crusade, is about to be put into production. The new race, the blood elves, will probably be very popular with players, and we must balance the factions."

"The third thing is that the development progress of the new project "Uncharted Seas" is a bit slow. Du Rui and Wang Yi, speed up the progress. There is another task. Wang Zichen and Gu Ranmin will take the team to Luocheng, the Lighthouse Country, for a field survey. The Lighthouse Country branch will cooperate with you. The deadline is half a year."

Uncharted Seas is the next exclusive work of Naughty Cat Game Cabin after "Escape", "World of Warcraft" and "Minecraft".

Not every player likes horror games and online games, and not all players can accept the art style and unguided creation style of Minecraft.

So there is Uncharted Seas, a one-stop adventure game with strong guidance that can be called an interactive movie.

This type of game requires a lot of game design skills.

Players have almost no freedom.

Where to fight, where to go through the plot, where to solve puzzles are all completely in line with the designer's path.

It seems simple, but the simpler the way, the more precise the control of details.

The story must be understandable to people from eight to eighty years old, without a threshold for understanding.

But players cannot guess all the plots.

The battle must not be too difficult so that all players can pass the level happily,

but it cannot be too simple.

The same applies to solving puzzles.

The Uncharted series of games tells the story of Nathan Drake, as a treasure hunter, adventuring and fighting in various lost ruins to find treasures.

There are six games in the series, four main stories plus two spin-offs, "Golden Abyss" and "Lost Legacy".

Lin Mo only plans to make four main stories.

In Lost Legacy, the protagonists are Chloe Fraser and Nadine.

In Golden Abyss, there is even the ugly heroine Chase, which is also the one with the worst reputation in the series.

The game is divided into four chapters.

It corresponds to the first part of the game "Captain Drake's Treasure", the second part "Across the World", the third part "Drake's Trick" and the fourth part "A Thief's End".

Witness the magnificent life of this ruins destroyer who collapses wherever he goes.

This is a project that has been approved by Naughty Cat and is already in production.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Lin Mo say that the investigation would take half a year.

The main artist Gu Ranmin asked in confusion: "Mr. Lin, go to Los Angeles for investigation? Half a year? Does it take so long?"

Lin Mo nodded and said: "Yes."

"Is it related to the Uncharted project? There is a city part in the game, but it's just a little bit. Do you need to be so serious?"

"Who said I want to use it in the Uncharted project?"

Gu Ranmin was stunned.

Then Lin Mo said something in a calm tone that made everyone gasp.

"For the next game, we will replicate a super city where you can walk on the streets, enter 30% of the buildings, hunt, fish, cook, eat, trade stocks, shop, exercise, race cars, start a company, go to amusement parks, and go to bars."

"This is a free city, but also a sinful city. Here players can buy guns, form gangs, open strip clubs, trade contraband, and rob bank vaults and casinos."

"There is politics, money, desire, power, and struggle here."

"Here are the best graphics, the richest gameplay, the best stories, the most vivid characters, and the most interactive maps."

"An unprecedented and greatest urban theme open world game."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After Du Rui reacted, he asked, "Mr. Lin, is this the content to be realized in a game? Isn't it a bit too much?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

Du Rui breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. I said, wouldn't it be too bloated to pile so much content in one game."

"This is a series." Lin Mo added, "A series of games called the Americas Project, so there can't be only one city like this. The sequel will introduce different cities, and then connect them with transportation."

No one really spoke this time.

Everyone was stunned.

Gu Ranmin was silent for two seconds, and smiled bitterly: "That half year was really a bit tense."

The meeting ended and Lin Mo left.

Looking at the concept sketch called Los Santos on the big screen.

Everyone couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Why do I feel that one day I can live in a game cabin? Then do we still have to make games in the game?"

"Becoming a designer to make games in the game cabin, is it so cyberpunk?"

"Joining Naughty Cats may be the most worth bragging about for me."

"A story that takes place on the stage of a super city, I'm so looking forward to it"

"Why not make it an Asia plan?"

"What's wrong with your brain? Can the Asia plan pass the review?"

On the other side, Lin Mo returned to the office.

On the desk is the plan for the mysterious project that he is writing.

That is, the plan for GTA.

The game content of the online part and the stand-alone part is too huge.

This plan is also the most time-consuming and laborious to write.

GTA is one of the only three games in the world that are counted in billions.

It has been popular for more than ten years across three generations of consoles.

It will be on the sales rankings every time it is discounted.

Why can GTA sell more than 10 million every year?

Because every year someone turns 18 and reaches the age where they can play GTA happily.

Many online games cannot survive for more than ten years, but the online mode of GTA, a stand-alone game, can still survive well.

There are also a lot of free updates every year.

The shark cards that players get in the online mode are simply an astronomical figure.

This is destined to be written into the history of electronic games, and it will be mentioned until the day when this industry ends. It is a work that cannot be avoided. (End of this chapter)
