Feature Shows Extravaganza

Armor Warrior started late...

Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai have already been filmed in the middle of the Heisei period, and they have begun to consider the new generation, so Aufei started to produce the first armor TV series.

Therefore, the number of works is sparse.

After careful calculation, not counting the theatrical version, there are only five TV dramas of Armored Warriors: Light and Shadow, Xingtian, Nava, Captor and Hunting Armor.

Kai Chuan?

Although this thing has 30 episodes, it has also been broadcast on TV stations. However, the plot belongs to memoir and is difficult to be included in the orthodox sequence.

Even if Kai Chuan is included, there are only six TV dramas!

The number is really not that much.

PD Film and Television has filmed three TV dramas and is about to produce Capture. When Capture is over, the only option left in this series is hunting armor.

How to extend lifespan?

Meng Lang had many new ideas, but he rejected them all.

No matter how good the idea is, it’s useless.

Once he dies, the new successor will be unable to come up with anything new and will have no choice but to chew on the legacy he left behind, which will lead to a crisis sooner or later.

The best solution is to learn from what Ultraman and Kamen Rider did, develop a template for the work, and follow the example.

for example!

If the Armored Warrior is a master of online writing, he is now at the peak period of creation and every work can bring surprises to readers.

But he always gets tired sometimes.

If one day his mind becomes empty, he loses his passion for creation, and he is overwhelmed by readers and financial pressure, he cannot stop updating.

What should he do?

The best way is undoubtedly to find a routine that suits you and create according to the template.

For example, if you use the same outline template to write ten or twenty novels on themes such as rebirth of the strong, anti-routine, and system flow, readers will still love to read them.

The same goes for Austria and the Knights.

Over the years, from Showa to Heisei, the special effects have improved and the props have become novel, but the core has never changed.

Super Sentai is even more serious!

If O and Knight can occasionally break the template or change a template, then Super Sentai is the same template, a model that has been patched and used for decades...

New works often add one or more new settings on the basis of previous works. Have the core settings, such as color and fusion robot, remained unchanged?

This can be regarded as one of the reasons why the team's works have everlasting prosperity!

Tsuburaya clearly has a mature template, but he just wastes his money. He wants to smash the old template and create a new one. Everyone has seen the result, which often “fails”.

So, does the Armored Warrior have a template?

The answer is yes!

However, Armor Warrior started late, and the number of works is not large. This set of templates is not perfect enough.

There are roughly two core settings.

Article 1: Armor belongs to the summoning system, a combined armor attached to the summoner's body!

This is a very critical setting.

Ultraman has an original form setting, and Kamen Rider has settings such as enemy and friend are of the same origin and transformed human. The hero's transformer is not necessarily a pure human being.

And the armored warrior must be human!

Article 2: The Armored Warrior is a team hero, and there is usually more than one person transforming! The main plot line is jointly promoted by multiple protagonists.

This is easy to understand.

The earliest Armor of Light and Shadow, the last episode is the embodiment of unity. Although the number of the armor's protagonist group has dropped sharply over the years, the story has always emphasized collectivism rather than individualism.

Meng Lang wanted to perfect the template.

The best way to improve the template is to add settings to this template, so that newcomers can use it directly, saving time and effort.

What settings should be added?

Meng Lang thought for a while, and finally wrote down a template setting that he thought was in line with the purpose of Armor Warrior.

The origin of the armor must be that it appeared or was made to fight against villains...

That’s understandable!

If all the previous TV works of Armor Warrior applied this setting, it would become...

In order to fight against the supernatural beast, light and shadow turned into armor to find its successor.

In order to fight against Lufa and his legions, the Ares created the Heaven and Earth Armor.

In order to fight Oxer, the righteous scientist Dr. Ke studied the four-element armor.

In order to solve the crisis of King Zombie, humans in the future created the Captor Armor...

Pretty routine, right?

But this was exactly what Meng Lang wanted.

Instead of complaining about the cliche setting, why not take the time to think about why Ultraman desperately protects humans?

Why doesn't Tsuburaya create a salted fish Ultraman who is too lazy to fight monsters and upgrade, and just wants to idle and idle?

Brother Xun once said that since ancient times, deep love cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts!

Templating is imperative!

Perhaps in the eyes of the audience, templating a work is a lack of progress and is shameful.

But as a qualified businessman.

With a hot IP in hand, do you want to make money in ten years, or in twenty or thirty years? It's a good meal, not shabby!

Moreover, templates cannot be used frequently.

If future generations take over and really can't come up with any good ideas, they can apply the template and rest on their laurels. If you have a good idea, you can also throw away the template and create mountains and rivers again.

After all, this is just a guarantee.

After the Armor Warrior template is repaired, this series will last for at least 20 or even 50 years in the hands of PD.

As for 50 years from now?

At that time, it was still unknown whether PD would go bankrupt. Who cared whether there would be a sequel to Armor Warrior?

Sighed softly.

Meng Lang rubbed his dry eyes and was about to pour a cup of tea when he suddenly heard a ding sound and a new email reminder popped up in the lower right corner of the window.

Sender, Zhou Shixin?

Why is it him?

As the president of PD Game Company, Lao Zhou is considered to be the best at making a fortune silently among the presidents of the group's subsidiaries.

I rarely see him except for meetings.

The last time Meng Lang received an email from him was six months ago, when Lao Zhou reported to him the operating status of PD Games in 2025.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Meng Lang took a sip of hot tea, clicked on the email with the mouse, and read it carefully.

The more I look at it, the more surprised I become!

Due to the sudden emergence of several popular mobile games on the market, the number of active players of PD Games' mainstay [PD Alliance] plummeted, and the recharge turnover was almost halved.

The PC version is even worse!

After years of operation, the battle royale game can no longer retain players who like the new but hate the old.

Even if the PD game has been updated with new gameplay and new modes, it is still difficult to reverse the decline.

Based on this current situation, President Zhou Shixin held a company meeting and discussed a decision: to develop new games and find the next revenue growth point!

To do this, they needed ideas.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the birth and development of PD games are inseparable from the IP blessings of PD Film and Television and PD Animation.

Therefore, they need IP adaptation!

But here comes the problem...

Although PD Film and Television and PD Animation have accumulated a lot of popular IP, there are actually not many works suitable for game adaptation.

Moreover, adaptation is not random editing.

Only when you find the right theme can it blossom. If the theme is wrong, such as the game Transformers

Lao Zhou has been looking for it for a long time!

In the end, he chose Pretty Cure and Ultraman Tega as his first choices for adaptation.

The subject matter has not been determined yet.

The game adapted by Guangmei will definitely be inseparable from the support of dead nerds. So it is very possible to change it into a card/development RPG game.

Diga's side is more difficult!

The reason why I chose Tiga is mainly because Tiga is very popular and has never released a game.

But Lao Zhou wanted to adapt the super ancient background and create a dual camp of Dark Giant VS Light Giant. In other words, there would be no winning team and no Big Bone Soup...

This is so weird!

Forget it if there is no winning team, not even big bone soup? If this is introduced to the market, how many Tiga fans will buy it?

Therefore, Lao Zhou was very hesitant.

He doesn't know what to do. Should he cater to the market and make games that players like? Or should you follow your original heart and make the game you want to play?

Just when he was troubled by this and pulled out countless hairs, his wife's words suddenly made him realize.

Why not ask the magical Meng BP?

Damn it, why?

How can I still write an email like this? Bullying Mengzi doesn’t understand “Black Pig”, right? You are the BP, and so is your whole family!

Meng Lang, who was full of complaints, finally read this email and understood Lao Zhou's troubles.

He has a plan for this.

It is feasible to adapt Tiga. After all, it is popular and has many fans... but the subject matter must be well thought out to avoid fan resistance.

If you really want to make an Ultraman game, I suggest you go find Li Wanbo and learn about the setting system of Big Monster Fighting!

Edit your reply and click Send.

In less than five minutes, the phone rang. After Meng Lang connected, Lao Zhou's confused voice came from the receiver: Mr. Meng, what is the big monster fight?

Um, new work!

Meng Lang explained: Have you seen Legend of the Super Galaxy? Lei in it is the protagonist of the big monster fight, the Leonix warrior who controls the monsters to fight!

Leonix?

Lao Zhou murmured, seeming to remember the part about thunder in the plot of Legend of the Super Galaxy.

It seems interesting!

What do you think if it was adapted into a side-scrolling fighting game?

Can!

Meng Lang agreed with this point.

Horizontal fighting game, popular in the arcade era. Although it is somewhat outdated now, it is still a favorite of many people.

Ultraman is quite suitable!

The level A hiding skill stacks anger, and then when the anger is full, you can directly open it up, and press the buttons on both sides. How awesome!

It is better to be a winner and play hero-specific BGM instead of monotonous KO.

How about making it an online game?

Online games?!

Meng Lang was stunned. Is this a side-scrolling online game? Isn't this thing exclusive to stand-alone/arcade machines?

But think about it carefully.

In the current game market, single-player games are in a slump, and online games are indeed more profitable. Even in the new Give Her Love 6 released in the past two years, players prefer to play the online mode rather than the offline single-player mode.

Can it be a side-scrolling online fighting game?

If we want to do it, we can only integrate ranking list and social elements to make it a purely competitive game where operations are more important than anything else, right?

Where is the gold point?

Skin!

Lao Zhou said enthusiastically: Even if I'm a bad guy, I still want to be a fancy rookie!

You may be very powerful, but your charm is not as good as mine! Take a look at my Shining Tiga skin, isn't it handsome?

Handsome! But you...

SanDisk was KOed by Composite Disk with full health?

This kind of thing sounds very fantasy. But if we follow Lao Zhou’s idea, it’s really possible! After all, no matter how beautiful your skin is, you can only be a showy rookie.

Official competitions can be held to develop the e-sports and live broadcast industries. In addition to the PC version, the game can also be released in console, mobile, arcade and handheld versions!

It can be said that this is a full-platform game, and the name is Ultra Monster Fight...

After receiving Meng Lang's guidance, Lao Zhou's thinking suddenly became more vivid, and he talked about a lot of things eloquently.

Meng Lang listened very carefully.

Lao Zhou has been deeply involved in the game industry for many years, and his suggestions are quite feasible.

But he ignored one thing!

What kind of ultra monster battle?

Besides Ultraman, wouldn’t Kamen Rider be the best? What about Armored Warriors and Transformers? Why not call it PD Hero Fighting?

Yes!

Lao Zhou suddenly said: Other heroes can also join in to attract more fans...

That’s right!

Everyone is tired of watching Ultraman fight monsters.

Make it into a hodgepodge, Kamen Rider VS Ultraman, Armored Warrior VS Dancing Goddess, how interesting that would be!

Of course, this has to be done slowly.

In the early stage, there were only a few Ultraman and a few monsters. As the game version is updated, new heroes are constantly introduced to increase player stickiness.

By the way, you can also play other things!

A horizontal fighting game can also be made into a horizontal passing game! In addition to PVP content, PVE content can also be developed to let the villains shine.

King of Fighters + Metal Slug?

Good guy!

Meng Lang's mind was wide open and he even thought of more ways to play PVP. In addition to 1v1 real men duel, is it possible to engage in 3V3 and 5V5 team PK?

Wouldn't that become the PD Alliance?

no the same!

Meng Lang explained: PD League is a MOBA game, the core of which is tower pushing and economic development. Ours is a fighting game, there are no defense towers and no economy!

Then how to decide the winner?

There are two ways. One is that each person has one life. If you die, you cannot be resurrected. Two teams compete against each other until all of one team is dead.

The other is unlimited resurrection, and the score is based on the number of heads. Whoever gets the specified score first, such as 30 points or 50 points, wins!

Meng Lang explained: In 1V1PK, the character controlled by the player will be very large and the venue will be very small.

In 3v3 or 5v5 team battles, the characters will automatically shrink to a certain proportion, and the venue will be larger and broader.

I see!

After hearing this, Lao Zhou was just about to take a note to write down these settings when he suddenly thought of a question.

Is this still a side-scrolling fight?

Horizontal fighting + horizontal leveling + team battle competition + multiplayer online, what kind of weird game is this?

Would anyone really like it if it was made like this?

Lao Zhou suddenly became suspicious.

However, he was very wise and did not question Mr. Meng's decision. Anyway, whether it succeeds or fails, we have to do it first!

In case the fire out?

In the new year, I wish all readers good health and all the best. Let’s work hard together in 2021!
