Steve Gray——世界顶级制作人之一,他曾担任《指环王》系列等游戏的创意工作,也是百威“蚂蚁”系列广告的制作人,更是数字娱乐技术领域的尖端领袖。这位大师级的人物已于今年加盟渡口网络科技有限公司,现在让我们来看看来到渡口的他带给大家怎样的惊喜……
问:您加入渡口也有一段时间了,通过这段时间的酝酿,不知您或者渡口会有怎样精彩的作品带给大家呢?
Steve:Soon after I joined Ferry we released the Beijing 2008 Olympics game, now we're very excited about the War of Heroes Open Beta - and later this year we will bring Maypan to the Chinese Players. It's very exciting that in my first year we will release three new products. Next year we plan to do even better!
(就在我加入渡口不久后,我们就发售了《北京奥运2008》游戏。令人振奋的是,最近我们的《魔神争霸》将迎来公测。我们将在今年的晚些时候,把《石器世界》这款游戏带给广大中国玩家。来到渡口的头一年就能做到三款新产品这让我非常兴奋,明年我们计划做得更好!)
问:那我在这里提前祝你们能获得成功!你提到的《石器世界》,相信很多玩家会挺感兴趣的,您能向我们介绍下这款游戏吗?
Steve:Maypan is a really fun MMORPG based in the distant past. I really like the fun art style and great character designs. Maypan also has a really good "Pet System". I think Players will really enjoy growing and training their Pets.
(《石器世界》是一款非常有趣的以远古时代为背景的MMORPG(大型多人在线角色扮演游戏)。我非常中意它有趣的美术风格和良好的角色设计。非常棒的宠物系统是《石器世界》的另一大特点。我觉得玩家们会沉浸于如何饲养以及驯化他们的宠物中。)
问:那么这应该是款今年很流行的宠物网游啦!我们知道,今年有不少宠物网游上市,这款《石器世界》与其他同类型游戏相比有什么不同之处呢?
Steve:Maypan's Pet System is much more interesting and varied than most other Pet Systems. There are lots of possible outcomes for how you feed and train your pets. This variety is very important to the fun of Maypan.
(《石器世界》的宠物系统更有趣并且比起其他宠物系统变化更多样。玩家不同的饲养及驯化宠物方式会得到各种不同的结果。这些丰富的变化是使得石器有意思的重点。)
问:听起来真有趣,不同的方式造就不同的宠物啊!这个宠物系统还有什么有意思的设置没?
Steve:I'll tell you my two favorite features about Maypan's Pet System. 1) You can get monsters as Pets!!! All of you should definitely play the game just to use this feature. 2) There are Pet Battles, this is also very fun to test out how well you have grown your Pet.
(我来告诉你我最喜欢的石器宠物系统的两点:1)怪物也可以当作宠物!!!我保证,冲着这点你们就会来玩这个游戏。2)游戏里有宠物搏斗,这同样也是非常有趣的,可以测试出如何更好地饲养你的宠物。)
问:呵呵,听了这么多,真的很心动啊!不知道您盛赞的这款《石器世界》什么时候会和大家见面呢?我已经很想试试了?
Steve:You will still have to wait at least a few more months, but we are working on it very hard!!
(可能你还要再多等一段时间,不过我们一定尽力让他早点和大家见面!)
问:对于这款《石器世界》,您能否向我们预期下它的市场目标?
Steve:I think more importantly what is our goal for the Players of Maypan, and that is an easy answer - To have as much fun as possible!!
(我认为将如何使石器玩家获得更大的满足作为目标更重要一些,同时这也是一个很简单的答案 --- 尽可能的得到更多快乐!)
问:谢谢您接受我们的访问!我们非常期待这款《石器世界》能创造网游界的神话,并开辟出一个新的世界。(小声)内测的时候,您可一定要帮我留个内测号啊?!
Steve:No problem!
(没问题!)
