Today, Diaobao also brought another surprise to everyone - at the 2023 NetEase 520 game conference, the producer once exposed a battle animation between Guo Jing and Yang Kang.
Later, Diaobao received a lot of messages from original readers and test players, asking when they would be able to see the full version, and now, all eyes are on line with me, and Diaobao announced that the full version of Guo Jing and Yang Kang's plot PV "Rebel" will be officially released today!
Whether you are there or not, they all have their own stories, which is the living rivers and lakes
Diao Bao has said many times that the plot of "Shooting the Condor" does not start completely from the shocking changes in Niujia Village at the beginning of the original novel, but directly puts the perspective more than ten years later.
At this time, Guo Jing has experienced a series of experiences on the Mongolian steppe, and has completed the initial transformation from an ignorant teenager to a generation of heroes, but he is still full of innocence.

At this time, the capital of Jin can be said to be a gathering of visitors from all over the world, the local nobles of the Jin Kingdom who are worried about the rise of Mongolia but are fighting each other internally, the Quanzhen Sect who inherited the last wish of Chongyang Zhenren to resist Jin, and the scattered people of the rivers and lakes who tried to obtain glory and wealth by force in front of the nobles......
There are also some seemingly inconspicuous people, but they affect the entire Zhongdu, such as the eccentric little beggar, and the Mu father and daughter who came all the way to Zhongdu to compete in martial arts......

The gray line of the grass snake in the pen of the old man Jin Yong is thousands of miles away, so that the reader seems to be calm in the eyes of Jin Zhongdu, but it seems that he is about to be in the storm in the next moment, which makes people listen to the thunder in a silent place.
In fact, Diao Bao has always felt that Mr. Jin's novels are more about an era, about the people in that era, and about the choices they made because of their respective identities, which ultimately promotes the development of the times. In many traditional IP-adapted online games, the sense of the times is weakened, focusing on the one or two protagonists, and the rest appear as tool people like puppets, making the whole era seem to be a pool of stagnant water.
And Diao Bao can proudly say that "Shooting the Condor" is different from them. What we hope to present is the era of "human taste" in Jin Yong's original work, rather than cold data.
Especially with the development of technology in recent years, we have increased the research on AI emotional technology, so that the characters in the entire rivers and lakes are more humane than traditional NPCs.
As the previous Diaobao has introduced, up to the top heroes such as Quanzhen Qizi, down to the little two in the inn, they all have daily behaviors that are in line with their own identities, whether the young heroes are there or not, they have their own lives to live and their own stories to happen.

Here, the little beggar of Jin Zhongdu not only has the attribute of looking eccentric, maybe in a no-man's corner, she will also miss Peach Blossom Island and miss her father; the little prince of the palace, even though he has fine clothes and food, but when he returns to the palace to face his mother, he is the most filial son in the world; and the princess who seems to be rich and noble, every day in the Acacia Courtyard, why does she look at a spear and is silent? What stories can be unearthed in them? And when the young man is not there, what love and hatred have been staged between them?
This vivid and multi-faceted rivers and lakes is what a project team determined to make a top Jin Yong game wants to present to everyone.
Create a top-level story experience with multiple perspectives, multiple branches, multiple endings, and retrospectiveness
Diao Bao has mentioned the main plot system of "Shooting the Condor" many times. Whether the plot system can be done well is an important measure of whether "Condor Shooting" meets expectations at the beginning of the project.
After many rounds of internal discussions and even quarrels, we decided to have a multi-perspective, multi-branch, multi-ending, and retrospective mode to shape the entire main plot.
On the basis of the original work, we have made a large number of original plots and millions of words of text, which we have used the original book as the skeleton, constantly filled, and extended branches, so that every player can enjoy this gluttonous feast of martial arts culture.
Plot system, multiple perspectives
The so-called multi-perspective, before entering Jinzhongdu, you can choose the direction of either Guo Jing or Yang Kang to start the main plot, once you choose, you will experience 2 completely different stories -
Choosing the Yang Kang line, you will see more of Yang Kang's coquettishness in front of his parents as the little prince of the Jin people, as well as the internal struggles he faces as a Jin nobleman. If you choose Guo Jingxian, you can personally experience Jingrong's first acquaintance and a series of interesting things afterward, and even be able to personally lead the four ghosts of the Yellow River into a trap with Huang Rong and become a joke.
In the follow-up process, you will be able to officially cut into the perspective of Huang Rong and Mu Nianci to understand what various forces are doing when the situation in Jinzhongdu is changing, and even promote the change of the plot with your own hands.
Multiple perspectives are not completely independent, and at some important nodes, such as martial arts competitions and royal banquets, all roles gather together, but from different perspectives, everyone will also gain completely different information.
After the last test, some young heroes left a message feedback, thinking that the plot design of "Shooting the Condor" made him puzzled by some of the plots of the original book, and began to understand why the characters in the original book reacted at that time. This is very touching for Eagle Treasure, because this is exactly what we hope to achieve by adopting a multi-perspective model.
Story system, multi-branched
And multi-branch, because we don't want everyone to become a simple camera, it seems to only take on the role of "watching" the plot, but we hope that everyone can promote the development of the plot according to their own ideas, and feel the results of different choices, after all, many grievances in the martial arts rivers and lakes may be in the choice of small things, and eventually cause waves.
When Diaobao experienced it for the first time, he confidently chose the Yang Kang line, and as a result, along the way, he deeply realized what it meant to deceive and be attacked...... Of course, in the midst of a large number of branches, the joy brought by the moment when you keenly find clues and solve puzzles is also indescribable.

Story system with multiple endings
When everyone keeps making choices, the development direction of the entire plot will continue to be changed, and finally lead to good or bad endings, maybe in some endings, Yang Tiexin and Bao Xi's weak endings can make people no longer feel uneasy?
Based on the above three characteristics, in order to allow everyone to get a better experience, we have introduced a retrospective design, through the in-game progression, you will get a lot of "100 turns and 1000 times" props, and this prop will have the magical ability to reverse time and space, in the face of a failed ending, or when you are not satisfied with your choice, you can use this prop to return the main story to a previous bifurcation point where you need to make a choice, and rewrite your fate.
In terms of the specific presentation of the plot, we have adopted the top specifications of the film and television industry, and used a large number of eight-camera lenses to make the overall plot story more like an interactive film and television drama, so as to provide the most comfortable viewing experience and further immerse yourself in the classic martial arts story.
And with the advancement of subsequent versions, we will also experience one big era after another with these familiar Condor Heroes, and the young heroes will not only watch, but be in it personally. The development direction of the whole world, perhaps, will be decided by the young heroes, and it is also perhaps!
