The sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival is still in my ears, and at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the "Condor Shooting" project team officially announced:
The public beta is officially set for March 28th!
At present, the core development work of "Condor Shooting" has been completed, and it has reached the final stage of refining the edge.
On March 28th, we are waiting for you to go to the rivers and lakes together!
As the development of "Condor Shooting" gradually deepened, the project team said that their goal of "making the top Jin Yong game" remained the same, and at the same time, another idea gradually came to their minds-[They want to make martial arts truly free! 】
Social Freedom: Say Goodbye to the Ro-Ro Era
The ro-ro model that prevails in the market can indeed stimulate consumption in the short term and bring the freshness of reopening the area.
However, in the long run, it will quench your thirst and weaken the vitality of the game.
Based on the core concept of long-term operation, the "Condor Shooting" project team decided to abandon the traditional path and let "Condor Shooting" completely bid farewell to the ro-ro mode and become a "world server".
The world of Condor Shooting will be an infinite growth of rivers and lakes - the twelve hours are synchronized with real time, and there is an industrial system that can be freely created. Players can build houses, open shops, and hold banquets all over the world, and become members of Song Jianghu like aborigines.
Here, every player is an important participant and promoter of the story of the rivers and lakes, and every footprint will write a strong stroke for this parallel world.
Freedom of Progression: No Need to Catch Up with the World
In the design concept of "Condor Shooting", creating a comfortable and autonomous game environment for players has always been at the forefront.
Adhering to this core spirit, the project team designed a large number of one-time exploration content, abandoning the traditional curriculum of progress setting.
The real rivers and lakes should not be limited by the constraints of progress, but should allow every player to fully experience the fun of "Condor Shooting" at their own pace, and realize the real sense of the life of the rivers and lakes that only want to play.
Whether you choose to use Condor Shooting as a deeply engaged and stable main game, or just casually enter and enjoy a moment of martial arts style, Condor Shooting will always be the same, waiting for you to arrive.
"Identity Freedom: Social Interaction Is Not Utilitarian, It Is the Resonance of the Soul".
Martial arts does not have to be only swords, swords and bloody rain, and the core fun of martial arts games is not only a simple numerical competition, the so-called "human rights profession", "pro-son", "pro-daughter" should not tie the player's hands and feet.
This is the third meaning of the free martial arts of "Condor Shooting" - identity freedom.
In terms of combat, "Condor Shooting" will subvert the shackles of the positioning of the profession of Fa Mu, so that players can change their identities as they like, and only need to train a character to attack and defend at will;
In terms of interaction, every NPC has an emotional temperature, with the human touch of the rivers and lakes, and can feel the boldness of courtesy exchanges, rather than just a string of cold data;
Socially, "Condor Shooting" brings all players together between the same world and the world, creating a seamless super-large world, where players no longer have to be restricted by "being separated by a mountain", and truly realizing "the end of the world is like a neighbor" to travel with friends.
Maybe it's just an unintentional help, such as responding to others' Five Elements Spirit Box on the World Channel to open a request for help, and you may form a precious romance.
The world is vast, the sea of people is boundless, there is always the opportunity to meet like-minded people in the vast world of "Condor Shooting", and jointly open up that happy world that belongs to you.
"Freedom of Consumption: 150 Years of Long-term Operation, "Condor Shooting" Just Wants to Make Slow Money".
Condor Shooting will build the game economic system in the game into a fair, just and sustainable form, and plan a series of innovative solutions, and what the project team ultimately wants to do isSubvert the traditional values of online games and redefine online games**!
In today's fast-paced, overnight pursuit of riches, the "Condor Shooting" project team chose to "go the other way".
Condor Shooting only wants to make steady and lasting "slow money", not a momentary profit that is in a hurry.
As warned in martial arts, greedy for the growth of skill often leads to unstable foundation and lack of stamina.
The project team also firmly believes that the long-term development and stable operation concept contained in "Slow Money" is the cornerstone of nourishing the healthy development of the game ecosystem.
This concept is exactly in line with the core spirit of "Condor Shooting" - the project team hopes that every player can walk in this vast world of rivers and lakes calmly, without being coerced by the pressure of fast-food consumption.
"Freedom of Choice: 150% Restoration of the Original! Jin Yong's heroes can make friends".
With respect and enthusiasm, the project team of "Condor Shooting" created "Condor Shooting" with the IP of the original trilogy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
The project team said that they want to achieve 100% restoration not only as an IP game should be, but also 150% as it should be.
On the basis of being highly faithful to the original work, "Condor Shooting" has built a multi-dimensional and multi-perspective story line for players, so that they can explore and experience the grand universe written by Mr. Jin Yong from different angles.
Not only can you experience all the classic moments of the original trilogy, but also have the opportunity to rewrite some of the trends by yourself and fill in the regrets in the original work.
The hundreds of martial arts skills that jumped on the page in those books are now vividly reproduced in "Shooting the Condor", and you can feel the endless charm contained in the sword light and sword shadow with just a tap of your fingertips.
The project team of "Condor Shooting" said that it has also built a fresh and three-dimensional character ecosystem in the game, equipped with an intelligent AI system, presenting the daily life trajectory, unique personality and interests of Jin Yong's heroes.
Each day has a different whereabouts and story, and players can build deep friendships with them, and even ask for martial arts secrets, and immerse themselves in this vivid and unpredictable martial arts world.
During the Spring Festival, the "Condor Shooting" project team carried out the final in-depth tuning before the open beta, and they can't wait to share the latest results with all players:
"Skip the plot and control your own pace of exploration".
Condor Shooting has added a "plot skip" function, allowing players to freely control the progress of the story according to their personal preferences.
Whether you are keen to immerse yourself in each of Jin Yong's classic scenes, or want to move forward quickly and focus on hearty battles and big world exploration, the project team hopes to respect and support your choice.
In addition, the project team said: while improving the quality of cutscenes, it also implemented and optimized the lip sync and voice expression of the dialogue between the characters, and made every plot dialogue feel like a face-to-face conversation through time and space through more realistic and vivid interactive scenes.
"Put on the ancient paintings and interpret the elegance of the Southern Song Dynasty".
Since the establishment of "Shooting the Condor", the tone of the Song Dynasty has been set at the level of art, and the entire "Shooting the Condor" is a prosperous era based on the real history of the Southern Song Dynasty. The project team dug deep into the history and created a series of the most authentic Song Dynasty fashion looks.
This elegance and gorgeousness that belongs to the style of the Great Song Dynasty can not only be worn by the characters of the players, but also the knights can also change into the fashion of the players and go to this fashion feast that spans thousands of years.
In addition, at present, the face model of the knight has completed further quality iterations, and the face model of most NPCs such as Danger Moon and Pleiades has been upgraded.
The face pinching system of the protagonists has also ushered in a comprehensive innovation, the facial models are more delicate and realistic, and more customization options are also provided, truly realizing a personalized journey to the rivers and lakes.
"The big moon card has been deleted, and Jin Wuxue has been changed! If you want to do it, you can do it really without liver and krypton".
Taking "Monument" as an example, many players think that this is one of the evidences that "Condor Shooting has a leaderboard", but it is not.
The project team said that the original intention of this feature is only to record the growth process of players, not to stimulate excessive consumption.
In the paid test that just ended, according to the producer, more than half of the players on the list paid less than 200 yuan. This is enough to prove that "Condor Shooting" does not rely on high payments to drive the competition for the combat power rankings.
Before the official launch of "Condor Shooting", the project team will also intensively optimize the paid development system in an all-round way, and make some substantive measures that are conducive to the exploration and growth of players.
At present, it has been decided to cancel the big monthly card model that may bring payment pressure, increase the diversified acquisition channels of Jin Wuxue, and further reduce the cultivation intensity in the early stage of the game, so that every player can immerse themselves in this martial arts world more easily and happily.
"New martial arts, and upgraded combat feel".
In a future open beta release, Condor Shooting will add 24 new martial arts moves to the game! At the same time, the combat combo chain is deeply optimized, so that the action connection is more smooth and natural, and the sense of attack is to a higher level.
Whether you are a novice or a battle-hardened veteran, you can feel the charm of martial arts action in this silky combat experience.
And many more optimizations
The Condor project team said: In the future open beta version, the industrial system will also usher in large-scale gameplay updates and upgrades.
Including the "Banquet Eight Directions" gameplay that simulates real communication and gathers heroes from all over the world, the "Neighborhood Parade" gameplay full of lively and extraordinary market atmosphere, and the "Inner World" rule-based weird story gameplay that leads everyone to explore the strange stories behind the martial arts world, etc.
At the same time, in order to better meet the social needs of players, the project team chose to optimize the matching and finding function in the purchase of a house.
At the technical level, the "Condor Shooting" project team also spared no effort to pursue excellence, and carried out another round of in-depth optimization of the performance of the three-terminal equipment.
In the future, the "Extreme Quality" and "High Frame Rate" operation options will be opened, and the smoothness between lens transitions will be smoother and more natural.
The hardware requirements for games have also been greatly reduced, and gamers on devices such as the Xiaomi Mi 6 or iPhone 7 Plus can easily play Condor Shooting and enjoy a hearty martial arts journey.
All these efforts stem from the sincere original intention of the "Condor Shooting" project team - to create a more inclusive and better experience of "Condor Shooting".
On the occasion of this important moment of the public release of "Condor Shooting", the project team is also full of excitement and emotion, and wants to convey the sincere heart to all players far beyond the above.
The project team knows that every progress and optimization is inseparable from everyone's attention and expectations, and now "Condor Shooting" is moving forward steadily and exploring deeper into that vast river and lake. Walking the rivers and lakes, the road is long, and there are still many tasks and challenges to be completed in front of them.
Here, "Condor Shooting" warmly invites all players to pack up and embark on this journey together, and welcome the new "Condor Shooting" world together. In this long-awaited agreement, witness the growth and transformation of "Shooting the Condor" together, and go to a martial arts feast full of surprises and touches!
