Chapter 540 A story about a witcher named White Wolf
As time goes by, "Dragon and Phoenix Hero" has basically been abandoned by NetDragon and Phoenix Games, but it is operated as an ordinary online game.
Yang Chen did not continue to pay attention to "League of Legends" in the future, but instead gave Chen Chuan and others continuous operation and updates, including Chen Chuan and others' development on "Dota".
Compared with "League of Legends", Yang Chen is not too concerned about the development of "dota".
Because it involves a brand new game mechanism with "League of Legends", there are also different hero design and equipment design.
The development of "dota" basically replicates the content on "Warcraft" and uses a new game engine to create a brand new game, but the gameplay and other things remain unchanged.
As for the operation strategy of "League of Legends" on e-sports, Nebula Games has a special e-sports planning team, including interacting with many e-sports sponsors. Compared with their e-sports, Yang Chen is not professional, so Yang Chen also lets them do this.
At present, Yang Chen’s main focus is on the development of "Overwatch" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".
However, the former is still under development, but the latter is actually coming to an end and is currently in the testing stage. After testing, you can start sending the factory to make cassettes and wait for release.

“The sequel to Resident Evil?”
In the conference room, Yang Chen and Lin Jiayi were having a video conference with Shanghai.
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Lin Jiayi showed some unexpected expressions in the video.
In fact, after the end of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", Lin Jiayi also carried out a new project, which is also an open-world project, but it can only be said that sales are generally the kind of work that makes money but not much.
The comments given by players are also mixed. The main thing is the theme of the open world, while the most praise is the narrative of the plot.
"Are you interested?" Yang Chen said with a smile.
As the oldest under Nebula Games, it is also the largest IP that has been made. In addition, Xu Yu had previously told Yang Chen about the layout of the movie, and it is already under shooting.
If you really want to choose a project team to do "Resident Evil", Yang Chen will not be able to draw at the moment, and he will hand over this project to other teams within the company. Yang Chen is actually not relieved. He probably will definitely participate in it and pay attention to the development progress of the game.
That would have to exhaust yourself to death.
So the first thing Yang Chen thought of was Lin Jiayi. After all, after the first generation of "Resident Evil", two sequels and DLC were produced. Not only Lyon but also King Ada, but also the stories of Gill, Chris and others have been fully displayed in front of players.
The sales of one sequel that is higher than the other also confirms that Lin Jiayi does have this potential.
Although Lin Jiayi and his new work seem to have suffered a Waterloo recently, Yang Chen doesn't care.
Who has suffered a Waterloo?
After all, Lin Jiayi doesn't seem to have the ability to remember dreams, and can pay attention to the pros and cons of a game from the perspective of God.
"Of course I'm interested. I understand that I still don't have enough control in games like large open worlds. I'm still suitable for the production of such linear plots." Lin Jiayi said with a smile.
The tone was very ordinary, and there was no sigh.
His own open world game failed, and he also learned about "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", a game that is also an open world. He was deeply shocked by it: it turns out that the open world can be made like this!
Coupled with his own reflection, Lin Jiayi was very clear that he was probably not suitable for games like open worlds.
Because this type of game really makes players feel interesting, it is not just about telling an excellent story, but about creating a world that allows players to immerse themselves in it.
Just like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, its story is actually really cliché and thin, but it is definitely a great open-world game.
Another "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" is the same. Although its main storyline is extremely excellent, coupled with the side plot and the tasks of strangers, if the plot is only not the real and fantasy Western world that immerse players, it is also just an extremely excellent plot-oriented action adventure game, not a great open world game.
It is a bit difficult for him to tell a good story and create an open world that allows players to feel real and immerse themselves in it.
It's not a matter of ability, but a matter of style.
Yang Chen is also very clear about this.
This is just like you let Hideo Kojima not use the long-shot plot expression in the game, not show off his skills or show off his erotic style; make Hidetaka Miyazaki less "sincere" and make Yanan Town in the game less hospitality like the villagers of the Immortal Town;
This is absolutely impossible because this is their play style.
Playing Hideo Kojima's game, you can experience the story narrative like watching a movie, and you can feel the unsightly feeling.
Playing Miyazaki Hidetaka's game, you just know that you are going to suffer again, you are going to accept the old thief's beating, but you just enjoy that feeling.
It is also Lin Jiayi's style to tell a good story.
Everything in the game is about telling a good story.
"I feel like I'm not interested in games like open world!" Lin Jiayi said on the other end of the video, stretching.
Hearing the other party's words, Yang Chen couldn't help but smile: "In fact, it's not necessarily true. Who said that relying on stories can't create an open world that immerse players?"
The so-called open world is to immerse players in the world in the game, so whether it is "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" or "Red Dead Redemption" is an open world, not a sandbox game like "Minecraft".
Whether it is high degree of freedom or rich details, it is just one purpose, that is, to immerse players in this world.
In the final analysis, there are only three words: immersion.
"Hmm? Mr. Yang, don't keep it a secret!" Lin Jia, who noticed that Yang Chen had something in his words, lit up his eyes on the other end of the video.
"I have an idea, but I have to wait until Overwatch, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and your "Resident Evil" are completed." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"But I can tell you a little bit of information..." Yang Chen smiled in Lin Jiayi's somewhat anticipated gaze.
"That's a story about a witch hunter named 'White Wolf'."
