1999 The raiders of "Fairy Sword 95 Edition" were released, and Yao Zhuangxian promised the players that Li Xiaoyao's story had ended at the end of "Fairy Sword I", and if there were other follow-up versions of Fairy Sword, it would be interpreted as a brand-new story. At that time, Yao Zhuangxian and Xie had parted ways, and Xie insisted that the second generation of Xianjian should inherit a generation of characters and plots. So the two men each brought a group of men and conceived "Xian Jian II" respectively. Although there are many proposals, none of them are conclusive and there are no real projects. "The Legend of the Madman" wrote: "Yao Zhuangxian, a lecherous, constantly changed his script. In order to improve his belief, he also changed the art setting again and again, but it was never finalized. After that, the fanatical creative group made some personnel changes, and Yao Zhuangxian's "Sword II" project, which expected to reach the quality of "Tiequan 3" and the level of "Final Fantasy VII", ended in vain. "
In 2000, Yao Zhuangxian left Taiwan Province Province and set up Soft Star in Beijing. The first project of Beisoft, Xianjian Inn, is the training for the future development of Xianjian II, and the development of GameBox engine is also the preparation for the 3D development of Xianjian II series. 2001March 13, the first project meeting of Xianjian II was held in Beijing Soft Star Conference Room. Participants included Yao Zhuangxian, Ruoyun Zhang, Huang and Wang Shiying, and the topic was "Preliminary Structure of the Overall Performance of Xianjian II". This meeting confirmed several key points of "Xian Jian II", such as deducing a brand-new plot, adopting the structure of two men and three women, making it with 3D technology, and not taking a purely tragic route, so as to provide players with more choices. At the meeting, Yao Zhuangxian took out all his ideas about "Xian Jian II" for many years, and put forward a complete world outlook from five spirits to six realms, from region to evolution.
What he didn't expect was that shortly after the launch of Norsoft's "Fairy Sword II" project, Xie's three research and development proposals "Fairy Sword II" were approved by Taipei headquarters and formally established. After learning the news, Yao Zhuangxian was greatly dissatisfied. "This project in Taipei, the meaning of soft star is less than half. From my standpoint, of course, I have to express my opposition. Moreover, the Legend of Knight Frank was planned to be developed into a series at that time, and the result was not smooth. The company gave up, and he (editor's note: refers to Xie) returned to "Xian Jian II". " So he sent an email to all the directors in the headquarters, stating that Xie had already made a successful work, The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man, and there was no need to be so persistent about the Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man.
At that time, Yao Zhuangxian also had doubts about the ability of Taipei R&D personnel to grasp the direction of "Xian Jian". The plots of "Xie Ban" and "Xian Jian Er" are closely inherited from the previous generation and revolve around the daughters of fellow villagers and He, but Yao Zhuangxian never agrees with this plan. He once thought that if the second generation took Wang Xiaohu and Yi Ru as the protagonists to start the story, it was doomed to imitate a teenager of the first generation and take a poor and mysterious girl to the scenic spot to find her mother. This new bottle of old wine is not ideal. In fact, at the end of "The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man" released on 200 1, Xie had already revealed to the players that he would play the leading role of the second sword, and at the same time pointed out the story line of "Revenge of the Fox Mother".
"I can't concentrate on" Sword II "by myself. Of course, I want to find someone I think is suitable to do it, so I don't want to ruin it. If I had given Taipei to Guo, maybe I would have been convinced long ago and waited patiently for them to finish three generations. " Guo is the head of the DOMO team, but the chief screenwriter of the three biographies of Xuanyuanjian: Tianji. Yao Zhuangxian has always believed that ShinRay Woo's screenwriter style is closer to the "Fairy Sword" series.
However, the headquarters also has deep doubts about the production ability of Soft Star, and "Fairy Sword II" was finally produced by Xie, so there was a strange thing that both sides of the strait developed two "Fairy Sword II" at the same time. After a period of time, the situation was always unclear, and even who developed it first was the trend of "Xian Jian II". Yao Zhuangxian once called "Xian Jian II" the legend of Xian Jian.
In August, 20001year, Shanghai Soft Star was founded soon. With the cooperation of Wang Shiying and Zhang Yijun, the plot outline of "Mainland Edition" and "Fairy Sword II" was finalized, and the planning outline was completed soon, and the art and procedures were in place to start work. On September, 2000 1 2/day, the sequel of "Fairy Sword" was formally submitted to Daewoo Co., Ltd. for the record, and the name of the game in the proposal was changed to "Legend of Fairy Sword and Chivalrous Man 3". At this time, the plot completion of "Xian Jian Er" in Taipei was not high, and it was overhauled in the second half of the year. On the contrary, Xianjian III came before Xianjian II.
In February 2002, Xie and other six members of the "fanatical creative group" left their jobs collectively. The research and development of "Xian Jian Er" reached a deadlock in Taipei, leaving a fragmented plot, and a lot of work had to be started from scratch, which seriously affected the progress. Daewoo urgently dispatched DOMO team developers to support, and Yao Zhuangxian, who is far away from the mainland, also took over some follow-up work. He went back to Taiwan Province Province every once in a while to read the script and test the program, and changed the key plot of the game, especially the details of some emotional expressions.
In the spring of 2003, eight years after the publication of Xianjian I, Xianjian II was finally officially put on sale, but the response was not satisfactory. Players generally think that this work is "anticlimactic", "the story structure is chaotic, the characters are thin and the completion is extremely low." Interestingly, although Yao Zhuangxian is the only one on Soft Star to "put out the fire", the production company marked in the simplified version of Xianjian II released by the mainland is Soft Star Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., not Daewoo information marked in the traditional version of the game. In the final producer list, the producers of the game are Yao Zhuangxian, Cai Minghong and Guo, and the producer is Jia Zhuolun. No matter the original story or the game script, Xie's name did not appear.
Six months after the release of "Fairy Sword II" in Taipei, the soft-packed "Fairy Sword III" was officially listed. It is inconceivable in any series that the release time of the two orthodox sequels is so close. Wang Shiying recalled: "At that time, the competition for the control of Xianjian was fierce. If Xianjiansan is unsuccessful, it is likely to be taken away. " Fortunately, although the sales of Xian Jian San and Xian Jian Er are similar, the former is far more successful than the latter in word of mouth. The "Fairy Sword" series has since settled in Shanghai.
