When mentioning the Legend of the Sword and Fairy series, one had to mention the Legend of the Sword Hero series.
In 1995, the Legend of Sword and Fairy was released.
And in 1998, the country's first martial arts RPG role-playing game, Swordsman Love, was born.
This game came from Westhill Studio, a subsidiary of Kingsoft Technology. The founder of Kingsoft at that time was Lei Jun!
After many years of development, the Swordsman Romance series had also spawned many works.
Swordsman's Love 1, Swordsman's Love 2, and Swordsman's Love Online, etc.
Currently, West Mountain Residence was developing the online version of Swordsman's Romance 3. The game producer leading the development was the young man who came to meet Lu Yuan today, Guo Weiwei.
Lu Yuan teamed up with Soft Xing Technology to remake the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3, aiming at the single-player game market.
He had come to West Mountain Residence because he was looking at the online game market.
Weiwei said,"CEO Lu, to be honest, when I saw your email, I was conflicted. I was very conflicted. At that time, I kept thinking that if you had sent this email a year earlier and developed the first generation of Tian Qing a year earlier, how great would that have been? Then, I definitely wouldn't be conflicted. Now, the online version of Swordsman's Romance 3 that I'm leading is about to open beta, but you showed me a game engine that subverts my understanding. CEO Lu, can you understand my feelings?”
Lu Yuan smiled and said," I understand, I understand, I completely understand. I know that it wasn't easy for President Guo to pull the Sword Network 3 project to this point. I'm sending you this email, which is indeed a little cruel.”
Why was it cruel?
Because Lu Yuan's goal was to overturn the Sword Net 3 that Guo Weiwei had already developed.
He wanted Guo Weiwei to work with him to overturn the three sword network projects and start from scratch. He wanted to use the Tianqing generation as the foundation to develop a new sword network three.
Actually, the game that Guo Weiwei developed was already a very impressive one.
This game had a grand background and a touching story. It was set in the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty and told the stories of the various sects in the martial world and the temple.
The story was touching, with historical and martial arts elements. It was very realistic.
The style of the game was also ahead of this era. It adopted a realistic 3D style, which was completely different from the current popular magical 3D style.
The style of Sword Net 3 was more like a real Wuxia 3D cartoon.
As for the fantasy 3D style, it was similar to the Perfect World and Jade Dynasty. The scenes were exaggerated, but they were not detailed or realistic.
Lu Yuan wanted Guo Weiwei to work with him and directly use Tianqing 1st Generation as the foundation to develop a brand new Sword Net 3. Then, he would upgrade the game's graphics and operating experience by a few levels, and it would be comparable to the online games in ten years.
But this was an extremely difficult choice for Guo Weiwei.
Lu Yuan changed the topic first and said with a smile,""President Guo, we're actually very similar.”
Guo Weiwei smiled bitterly and said," CEO Lu, you're flattering me. I'm not as good as you. I designed the chip architecture at the age of 21, developed a game engine that was ahead of the times, and led the development of games at an unimaginable speed. I don't even dare to think about these things.”
Lu Yuan said," President Guo, you're too humble. When you were in university, didn't you also create a game prototype and go to Blizzard for an interview?”
"And then he was rejected," Guo Weiwei said.”
Lu Yuan smiled." That's why we're very similar. I was rejected by the goose factory just 20 days ago."”
Weiwei couldn't help but laugh."CEO Lu, if you say so, we do have similar experiences.”
In fact, Guo Weiwei was also a genius, and a very impressive one at that.
When Weiwei Guo was studying at St. John's University in M Nation, he hacked into the school's network and was wanted by the school.
At that time, he wanted to develop a game, so he made a Warcraft MOD, which was a kind of programming module to enhance the game. He went to Blizzard for an interview with full confidence, and then…He was rejected by Blizzard. The reason was that this kid was too troublesome and had caused too much trouble in school.
After that, Guo Weiwei returned to China and joined the West Mountain Residence, which had only 30 people at that time. Only then did he begin his legendary life.
Lu Yuan said," Actually, I'm quite impressed by you. Most of the people in your Xishan Residence's Sword Network Project Team 3 were poached by Netease Pig Farm. You actually dared to step forward and take over this half-dead project. Not only did you take over, but you actually revived this project. Brother, you're quite legendary."”
After Guo Weiwei joined West Mountain House, he wanted to fulfill his revenge on Wuxia games and recreate the classic Old Three Sword.
At that time, he didn't expect that the third project of Sword Net would be developed well. In the end, Pig Farm spent a lot of money and almost poached their entire project team.
At that time, he was only in his twenties. It could be said that he had been appointed in the face of danger and was about to save the building.
At that difficult moment, he stepped forward and became the chief planner of Sword Net 3, and also the executive producer.
Guo Weiwei was a little embarrassed by Lu Yuan's words. He scratched his head and said,""Young and impetuous. I was really young and impetuous back then.”
Lu Yuan said," President Guo, you dared to step forward under such difficult conditions and become the chief planner of Sword Network 3. The conditions now are much better than back then. Why are you hesitating?" If you want to make a real Wuxia online game, believe me, Tianqing First Generation, with the addition of your Sword Net 3 project, it's enough to refresh everyone's understanding of online games.”
