Whether it was Ding Yue or Pei Gou, when discussing turning "Wandering Earth" into a game, they subconsciously defaulted to making it into a AAA title.
When Ding Yue mentioned the community of shared future for mankind shown in "Wandering Earth".
Pei Gou thought about it, wouldn’t this concept suit better for an online game?
Hearing this, Ding Yue couldn’t help falling deep into thought.
"Gou, how can this be suitable for an online game?" Even Liu Lang, Pei Gou’s old partner, was starting to doubt.
"Pei Gou, do you mean...letting players from all over the world participate in this mission to save Earth?"
Ding Yue frowned, and asked Pei Gou softly.
Pei Gou nodded, but quickly frowned in distress: "Principal Ding, I was just saying casually. If we make it an internet game, the server would be a big problem, and to reach the graphics level of a AAA title would also require a lot of cost."
"Don’t we have our own Feiyue game engine? In theory, we shouldn’t worry about graphics."
Ding Yue thought about it. The difficulties Pei Gou mentioned probably boiled down to the server. Online games must have a powerful server.
"Wait, Pei Gou, Principal Ding, you mean making an online game where all participating players strive for a single goal, to save Earth?"
Liu Lang had just glanced over the rough plot of "Wandering Earth", and based on Principal Ding and Pei Gou’s conversation, he had a general idea of their intent.
This kind of game mode seems to have never existed before.
Currently, most online games worldwide are primarily competitive games or RPGs.
But Principal Ding and Pei Gou just mentioned creating a "Wandering Earth" online game, without fights or competitions, or leveling up.
All players join the game, devised by game designers, to save Earth, sharing in the gameplay experience of a community with a shared future for mankind.
This sounded unbelievable.
But it also seemed interesting.
"Principal Ding, what do you think about this direction?" Pei Gou asked Principal Ding expectantly.
Ding Yue immediately nodded.
Undoubtedly, designing the game as an imminent disaster, but as players join, everyone can through constant effort, whether by collecting materials or mastering repair techniques in the game.
The players have only one goal, to repair all damaged engines on Earth and resolve the crisis of Earth colliding with Jupiter!
Ding Yue even started to look forward to this kind of gameplay.
This is absolutely a game mode that has never existed before worldwide. Its originality could be said to be maxed out.
"Pei Gou, after you guys go back, you can try to make it. No need to worry about servers or production costs, I will be your strong backing."
Ding Yue reassured Pei Gou and his team.
He encouraged Pei Gou to lead his game design students from Mist City Arts and Science University, to bravely create a unique game.
Seeing Principal Ding’s staunch support for his idea, Pei Gou nodded readily, confidently saying, "Principal Ding, rest assured, I won’t let you down."
"Why do I suddenly feel excited and overwhelmed? I can’t wait to start working on this game!"
Liu Lang exclaimed excitedly.
Zhang Tianming and others also felt their blood boiling. After understanding Principal Ding and Pei Gou’s core idea for the online "Wandering Earth" game, they also thought the idea was very daring and innovative.
In the current monotonous game market, countless gamers were desperate for a new style of game.
Just like when League of Legends was booming, and eSports was popular, the survival game "PUBG" was born and also had a period of popularity.
"Principal Ding, we will go back and start planning then." Pei Gou was eager to start planning the design of the "Wandering Earth" game.
Ding Yue nodded. Since Pei Gou and his team wanted to have a go at "Wandering Earth", he would of course support them fully.
Just as Pei Gou and Liu Lang were about to get up and leave with all the materials on "Wandering Earth", Ding Yue seemed to remember something.
Ding Yue called out to Pei Gou and the others.
"Principal Ding, is there anything else?" Pei Gou turned his head and asked in confusion.
"The College Entrance Examination is coming soon. After it’s over, our Mist City Arts and Science University will launch a new round of enrollment promotion."
Ding Yue said seriously to Pei Gou and his team: "I just thought about it. Since we already have the Feiyue Game Engine and are planning to promote it, why not take the opportunity? Wouldn’t this attract more students who love game design to our game design major?"
