Chapter 113 Project Starts
A few days ago
"Everyone, take a look." The director of the Mediterranean Planning Department distributed the thick stack of information in his hand.
The heads of each group looked at each other, not knowing why this emergency meeting was suddenly held today. Only the planning leader of Group 9 knew why.
I originally thought that it would be a tough job to be assigned to Group 9 to organize the Honor Design Grand Prix, but I never expected to find such a great treasure as Teacher Moriarty.
The development of Wrath of the Lich King alone has earned Group 9 more than three times the prize money of other groups. Now, who in Group 9 is not a die-hard fan of Mr. Moriarty?
"Dark Soul? This name is a bit strange..." The shifty-eyed guy from the third group muttered. As expected, he also saw that this was another plan submitted by Moriarty from the ninth group.
"Lao Liu, this plan was submitted by your ninth group. Please tell me the content of the plan in general." said the chief planner.
"This project is the latest project of our ninth group's external teacher Moriarty. It undertakes the update of the quest props dropped by Guda, the Judge of Ashes."
"Fire is the foundation of the world. The Age of Fire brought prosperity to civilization, and many powerful kingdoms emerged. Although it seemed peaceful on the surface, the power brought by the First Fire could not last forever. People kept trying to create new First Fires, but they never succeeded. Under this circumstance, the Sun King Gwen decided to sacrifice himself as firewood and throw himself into the dying First Fire to continue the original fire.
However, even a powerful being like Gwen the Sun King cannot keep the Original Fire eternal. To do this, new firewood is needed, and the Fire King is the firewood.
As the fire goes out, the world will inevitably decline, and only by continuing the fire can the world continue to survive.
The flame is about to go out, and even the Cinder Kings who have been burned once need to burn again , but the Cinder Kings have to give up their mission of burning themselves. Players who play as the ash that cannot burn need to bring the Cinder Kings back to the throne to continue the civilization of the gods.
This is a large-scale single-player project. It uses mission items as teleportation nodes to teleport players to their birthplace, the Firelink Shrine. Here, players will receive the title of [Ashes of the Remnant] and begin their adventure...
The main task of the players is to tie the Cinder Kings who are no longer willing to pass on the fire back to their thrones..."
The expressions of the team leaders who were originally dismissive gradually turned into seriousness, then into horror, and finally into disbelief.
“All of these were completed independently by Mr. Moriarty during his college years, from the original paintings, to the story ideas, to the map design, character movements, and attack models…
This can be made into a AAA stand-alone game, but it doesn’t feel out of place when added to Honor of Kings.”
"In order to collaborate with Guda, Mr. Moriarty almost designed a complete world view and story line, and gave us ideas for future derivative copies, and slowly completed the world view of Glory."
No one had disdain on their faces anymore, and everyone could see the value of this plan.
Ash Cemetery, Lothric Wall, Undead Settlement, Road of Living Sacrifices, Deep Cathedral, Faran Fortress, Catacombs of Kasas, Smoky Lake, Irithyll Cold Valley...
Each map was so exquisite that it attracted the attention of these planners.
Abyss Watcher· Flan Street Dance... Undead Squad, Deep Saint·Eldridge, Giant Yum, Exile·Rhodos...
The powerful Lords of Salary...
The dancer of Frosty Valley, Pope Shalivan, Midir who devours darkness...
Weird bosses...
All the planners could not calm down for a long time after reading these things. Lao Liu, the leader of the ninth group, also stopped his explanation and quietly looked at his competitors in the audience.
"What do you think?" The chief planner saw that the audience had basically fallen into silence and knew that it was about time, so he asked directly.
"Well, boss, I feel... there is still something wrong." Old Huang from the third group always felt unhappy with Old Liu's smug smile in the stands, so he raised his hand and said.
Hiss… You are so stubborn, Lao Huang! We support you! Come on! Don’t let Lao Liu be so proud!
"Tell me about it."
"I have to say that this plan is very well done, but isn't this single-player side quest a bit inappropriate?" Old Huang stood up and pointed out his point of view: "If such a large map is only made for a single-player mode, isn't it a waste?"
"How could Mr. Moriarty not have thought of the problem you mentioned?" Old Liu rolled his eyes at him and inserted the USB drive into the computer: "Mr. Moriarty has considered all aspects, because some players responded that they hope to have some single-player mode copies, so Mr. Moriarty developed such a side quest single-player copy.
After all, not everyone likes to play dungeons together in a lively atmosphere. They prefer to play games alone in silence.
Similarly, Mr. Moriarty also took into account the mood of the team players. When fighting a boss, up to three other players can be invited to play together, but the difficulty of the boss will be increased accordingly. Do you have any other questions, Brother Huang? "Old Liu said with a wry smile.
"No more, no more." Old Huang sat down with a gloomy face.
"Does anyone have any other opinions?" The chief planner looked at the others in the audience with a smile, and everyone shook their heads in unison: "If there are no objections, this plan is approved."
“Second.”
“Second.”
…
"Then, the programming department under the ninth group will be responsible for the main development. The third and second groups will be responsible for auxiliary requirements. The ninth group will plan and preside over the CG production and warm-up work. Other departments will be responsible for assistance. That's it. The meeting is adjourned." The chief planner walked away with a smile, holding the cup.
"Brother Liu, you're so awesome!" The other team leaders happily surrounded Old Liu.
"Tsk, it's because we got a big fat leg." Old Huang said sourly: "Originally, the task of the Glory Design Grand Prix was ours."
"Hahaha, who told you to refuse because you thought it was troublesome? You deserve it, Old Huang! Did you hear that? Everything will be led by our Group 9, and you, Group 3, will just be responsible for serving tea and water!" Old Liu said proudly, "Hey, you're really right. We really did hug a big thick leg. What's wrong with that? If you're capable, go find one to hug, too?"
"The villain is succeeding..." Old Huang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Old Liu, I heard that Mr. Moriarty is only in his twenties?"
"You are young and promising. When will you introduce him to us?"
"I have a daughter who is still single. I'm worried sick. How about you, Old Liu, be a matchmaker for her?"
"Old Zhang, your daughter seems to be in elementary school! My daughter just graduated this year. Brother Liu, please introduce her to someone else..."
"Say it again, say it again! Hahahaha!"
