Chapter 254(2/2)
Then these things also have a very religious meaning.
Of course, Cao Yang did not go into the deepest way in his previous life. In a word, in short,—
Just do it.
But after careful consideration, no matter how well a Western game with a clear religious meaning with [creationism] as the core is, it is not suitable for copying.
If you just change your skin, it will become inappropriate.
It is precisely because the core of Assassin's Creed itself is placed here that you will not be able to copy it.
Apart from the story of Assassin's Creed and the core of this Assassin's Faith, you will find that the entire game is much thinner, and all it has is stealth and assassination elements.
So after Cao Yang considered it, he chose to use Sekiro as the blueprint for Chinese assassin.
Although Sekiro also has the cultural charm of the island country itself, it is generally close to Chinese culture, and its gameplay is very suitable for ancient Chinese cold weapon combat.
The original plot of one's own country, a game with Chinese meaning, combined with the gameplay of Snake Wolf close to ancient Chinese assassins, this made the Assassin's Soul recognized by everyone.
The same thing is said, only national is the world.
Cao Yang is a Chinese. He uses Chinese culture as the core and historical stories as the carrier to make games easy.
However, Cao Yang has been thinking about this question recently—
If the Assassin series is to be continued, then there must be something reasonable that can be continued and can be elevated to the core of philosophical meaning.
Just like Assassin's Creed, although it seems that [everything is empty and everything is acceptable] is just a slogan, but it runs through it all the time.
The setting of Fragments of Eden is also what Assassin's Creed has been pursuing and telling.
The origins of Westerners are very chaotic, so when they dig into themselves, they always want to find a [Where I come from], and Assassin's Creed has been asking this question.
Chinese people are different. Chinese people do not worship or have religious beliefs.
If the Chinese in the past worshipped ancestors, ghosts and gods, then the Chinese nowadays pay attention to [manages conquer nature]
Cao Yang followed this thought and finally figured out this problem.
We want to continue to do the Assassin's Soul, can we find this philosophical belief in the Assassin's Soul?
The answer should be OK.
Look at the ancient legends of our country—
Pangu opens the sky
Houyi shoots the sun
Dayu controls water
...
We have always believed that man conquers nature and that we believe in the power of the people.
This thing is the most precious.
Now that I think back, has Assassin's Soul Feng done this?
From the assassin's loyalty at the beginning to the suspicion at the end, rebellion...
Feng has completed his ideological transformation since Jing Ke.
From blindly killing the King of Qin at the beginning, to killing the King of Qin at the end, to entrust the war that ended the world to the King of Qin...
Taking the world as one's own responsibility can barely achieve this.
Although not so obvious and profound.
What Cao Yang wants to do now is to strengthen the so-called philosophical nature and assassin ideals in the subsequent Assassin series.
To put it bluntly, there are a few questions -
What is an assassin? Or what is an assassin in China?
What is the spirit of the assassin?
After answering these questions, they are the core of the thought that runs through the entire Assassin series.
With the core of thought, the inner depth and vitality of the entire game will be available.
When a game has a core of thought and a philosophical height, it is like a tree with roots that can thrive until towering.
So Cao Yang recently figured out this problem and could only have a good night's sleep, otherwise he would be unable to sleep or eat.
...
Cao Yang sat on the chair, raised his head and smiled slightly, "Brother Yun, I'll ask you a question, what do you think are Chinese assassins?"
Li Lanyun was stunned and was stopped by Cao Yang for a moment.
He thought for a while and said, "According to the records of the Grand Historian, the assassin should have the courage to be above ordinary people and the courage to treat death as if he were home. In order to repay kindness and the righteousness of the world, he could sacrifice his life to make righteousness and assassinate such a group of dead soldiers on the other side at all costs, right?"
"What is kindness? What is righteousness in the world?" Cao Yang continued to ask.
"This..." Li Lanyun smiled and shook his head. He didn't quite understand why the boss wanted to discuss such a strange issue with him here.
"Putting aside the foolish loyalty of ancient times and looking at it from a modern perspective, I think it is more suitable to use the words of Mr. Jin." Cao Yang said with a smile, "For the country and the people, the greatest hero."
Li Lanyun was stunned for a moment.
"really……"
But he didn't understand very much: What is Boss Cao doing?
Cao Yang smiled and said, "That's how I think. Assassin's Soul Feng is actually quite complete here. We will release a sequel later, either to make Feng's prequel or to let Feng resurrect from the dead, but this will destroy the integrity of the game.
But our Assassin series has to be continued, so something must be inherited.
The body cannot be inherited.
What remains is spiritual belief.
So I said our assassin needs to have a spiritual core, which will make the entire assassin series unique, and at the same time it will become the spiritual driving force of the entire assassin series."
Damn it!
It really woke up the dreamer with one sentence.
Li Lanyun lowered his head and thought for a while, but he didn't expect that Boss Cao had already raised the cultural carrier of games to such a high level.
This thing is like writing a novel. You can write a simple story or awesome story.
However, if you want the story to last forever and let readers reflect after reading it, then the novel must have its own spiritual connotation.
Without relevant philosophical thinking, it is difficult to reach sufficient depth.
Boss Cao is really a person who pursues the ultimate perfection, so he tries every means to explore.
Too scary.
The boss is so scary.
Li Lanyun didn't dare to look Cao Yang in the eyes, for fear that he would see through his inner fear.
Before we started playing games, we thought about how to be fun. If we were working on the Three Kingdoms theme, we thought about how to show the iron-blooded killing of that era. Assassins would have to achieve the ultimate pleasure of assassination...
But these are all appearances.
Never dig deep into the game’s connotation.
Until now, Li Lanyun felt very ashamed when he was brought up by Boss Cao.
As mentioned above, games are cultural carriers, and exporting culture is also a very important mission. If we do not export our own culture, we will be exported by others.
Boss Cao did the right thing.
Games are not just for entertainment, but also for war on the spiritual level.
Take the two most classic games as examples:
It's also a shooting game.
"Battlefield" makes war cruel and terrifying, and has a sad atmosphere, while "Call of Duty" makes the war more exciting. The more addicted players reverse right and wrong, treat war as a game, and even beautify war.
Therefore, Cao Yang put forward higher requirements for the Assassin series-
It needs to have a spiritual connotation throughout.
"Then what is the spiritual connotation?" Li Lanyun asked.
Cao Yang smiled, "I have thought about it for a long time, studied it for a long time, and looked up a lot of legends, stories, history of our country... and finally the spiritual connotation found for our assassins is this-
For the country and the people, man will conquer nature.”
Wow!
Li Lanyun's pupils suddenly dilated and almost exclaimed.
He now has the urge to applaud Boss Cao.
"For the country and the people, man will conquer nature."
very nice.
Chapter completed!
