The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

Chapter 28 Inheriting the will of our predecessors, borrowing their swords, we will slay the dragon

Holy crap.

Perhaps it was because he was too empathetic, but after listening to Jiang Bo's words, Ma Shangfei felt the mouse in his hand start to get hot.

At this moment, he was already filled with excitement!

He was somewhat impatient.

"Mr. Jiang, according to your logic, our new game will be an action game?"

"That's right!"

"Our new game genre is an action game!"

"Didn't we say in a previous interview that players have been saying they want a sense of movement and a competitive element?"

"Then we'll give it to them."

"This is the feeling our game aims to give players!"

Ma Shangfei scratched his head, the excitement on his face not yet completely gone.

"I think I understand now, Mr. Jiang. I'm sure I have no problem with the game's background setting!"

"But there's only one. There are too many competing action games on the market right now. How can we create something unique? We can't just stick to the same old formula, can we?"

"What? Flip, roll, block! I dodge when the monster raises its hand, and I scratch it when it's stunned."

"and……"

"Since it's mortals fighting mythical creatures, it must be incredibly difficult. What happens when the player dies? Do they respawn at a save point? Or like in roguelike games, can the protagonist's sons and grandsons continue the fight? An endless series of descendants?"

Jiang Bo shook his head directly.

"No!"

"The trope of having sons is too cliché. Too many generations of offspring make the plot drag on and cause players to lose their sense of immersion!"

"My idea is this: we won't pass it down through generations! We can pass it directly upwards! Awaken the memories!"

"Passing down knowledge? Awakening memories?"

Ma Shangfei paused, his face full of confusion.

"President Jiang, isn't succession usually passed down from father to son? What does this upward succession mean?"

Jiang Bo glanced at him.

"Passing down traditions doesn't necessarily mean going down the lineage."

Some things are etched into our blood.

"For example, many animals are born knowing how to hunt, how to avoid danger, and how to find water. They don't have teachers to teach them, but they just know how."

"So, our game is the same!"

"In a typical action game, death means failure, which means you have to reload and start over."

"But in our game, death isn't the end. When the protagonist reaches a certain point, they can unlock the skill tree directly through their bloodline!"

"We can think of this skill tree as a kind of ancestral hall! It houses the ancestral tablets of past generations."

"The protagonist doesn't become stronger out of thin air."

"He is awakening upwards."

"I continuously learn from the battle memories of my ancestors!"

"Every failure is an opportunity for upward progress."

"Every near-death experience is a manifestation of our ancestors."

"This is the process by which the protagonist continuously masters the 'Dragon-Slaying Technique'!"

"This way, players won't be using a complete cheat code from beginning to end."

"Instead, it is through the memories of generation after generation that this art, which was on the verge of extinction, is pieced back together bit by bit."

"This means that the protagonist is not fighting alone."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Guangqi's expression completely changed.

"Death is not the end, but a continuation?"

Jiang Bo glanced at him.

"That's right."

"This means the protagonist is fighting on the shoulders of his ancestors!"

"The sacrifices of each generation of predecessors, every ancient memory, all help the current protagonist to fully comprehend the incomplete 'Dragon-Slaying Technique'!"

"The modern protagonist is a product of the combined power of generations of ancestors! Equipment! Techniques..."

"When he finally mastered these skills and faced the dragon again..."

Jiang Bo took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

"That's the complete story I've told you!"

"This is the story of a generation's struggle! So, do you think this kind of bloodline resonance that transcends a thousand years, this kind of game that gathers the strength of the entire clan to slay a dragon, has any potential?"

"..."

The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"That's incredibly promising!"

"If that's the case, then it's practically the culmination of hundreds of years of accumulated power by the entire family."

"It is the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall that have finally been brought back by their descendants to retrieve the knife."

"This is the ancestral precept that has been ridiculed by the world, and today it has finally come true."

"This...this is so romantic..."

"This cut will hurt a bit!"

Zhou Guangqi has already gotten into the swing of things.

"President Jiang, this plot twist is a killer!"

"I carry on the legacy of my predecessors, and borrow their swords to slay the dragon of today! Who could refuse such a challenge?"

After saying this, Zhou Guangqi couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He is a copywriter.

He knew all too well how appealing this kind of concept was.

A declining family that everyone thought had boasted about their ancestors.

A dragon-slaying technique that has long been outdated and even ridiculed by the times.

An ancestral hall that no one worships anymore.

A rusty knife.

But on the day the dragon descended, everyone said my ancestors were bragging, until they heard the protagonists draw their swords as they were dying.

What else is there to say? We have to develop this aggressively!

Jiang Bo was increasingly satisfied with their reactions.

That's right.

That's more like it.

Jiang Bo coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back to him.

"So, what we need to do next is this game."

"I've also thought of a name for the game."

"Let's call it: I've Seen a Dragon."

Everyone nodded in complete agreement!

"Furthermore, the development of this game will be much more difficult than before, and there are also some details that we need to gradually fix and improve during the production process!"

"There are other storylines as well, and if we really want to create a complete story, this is not something that can be done in a short period of time."

"After all, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to fight monsters one by one."

"For example, the enemies that appear at the very beginning of the game cannot be complete dragons."

"True dragons are the ultimate goal. In the early stages, players may encounter dragonborn, pseudo-dragons, or even various monsters corrupted by dragon energy!"

"This way, players will always be eager to know: what does a real dragon actually look like?"

"Also, I've been emphasizing the complete ending! What constitutes a complete story?"

"this……"

Ma Shangfei, Zhou Guangqi, and Sheng Tinglan looked at each other in bewilderment.

Do you want the complete story? Is President Jiang really that obsessed?

In traditional games, players level up, defeat the final boss, and the world is at peace. Then the credits roll, and that's the end, isn't it?

The two immediately shared their thoughts.

But Jiang Bo clearly didn't mean that.

"No, that's too cliché."

"The most important thing for a complete story is that the ending must be believable."

Jiang Bo shook his head, his tone profound.

"The dragon slayer becomes the dragon? That's a tired, overused trope. We need an ending that will leave players sitting in front of their computers, unable to calm down for a long time after completing the game. That's the core concept we need to focus on refining and developing!"

"Have you forgotten? We need to keep players excited!"

After hearing Jiang Bo's grand vision, everyone in the office was completely captivated.

The boss truly lives up to his reputation; he always keeps his word!

The group of people looked at Jiang Bo, completely immersed in the new story's rhythm.

At this moment, Sheng Tinglan, who was slightly more sober in the office, looked at Ma Shangfei and Zhou Guangqi's eager expressions and was already very certain.

It’s over.

These two have already betrayed us.

No one remembers about the revised version of "The Great Angler".

The idiom "to be fickle and fond of the new" is no longer used at this moment.

This is a true reflection of the game's conference room.

What fishing ban area?

What kind of shady business owner is this?

What battle royale?

Let's put it aside for now.

The boss has made a really big promise this time.
