IP adaptation is no stranger to today's Internet circle. Cross-border cooperation of various IPs has become a norm. At the same time, more and more IP adaptations are on the surface, and there are fewer and fewer production teams that always insist on in-depth development of a good IP with the heart of craftsmen.

Recently, Junhai Games joined hands with Coconut Games, and Guangyu Games adapted the famous work "Shenzhou Weir" by martial arts master Mr. Wen Ruian. After the development team established the project, it immediately conducted user research on "Shenzhou Weir" and Wen Ruian's fans. The results of the survey were beyond the expectations of R&D personnel. I originally thought that players had great expectations for the details of strong IP associations such as "content restoration" and "writers' participation in development", but the user's vote showed that the content restoration is far less important in the hearts of fans.

In a voting event held by the fan group related to this IP, a total of 2,368 fans participated in the vote, and the number of votes received by "Novel Content Reduction" ranked 6th. This is indeed an unexpected result. To fans, this novel is already familiar to them, and it doesn't seem to matter whether it is restored or not. Of course, as a developer, you should also look at this issue rationally. Restoring novels may not be of much significance to fans, but they still have a certain necessity for new users.

The fifth place in the votes was the game fighting animation (plot animation, battle animation). Players hope that developers can produce some excellent plot animations, which on the one hand shows the extremely gorgeous martial arts tricks in the novel, and on the other hand, they can also regain the passion they had in the game when reading the novel.

The "personality" that the project team is most concerned about is ranked fourth in the vote. Character design is like a wonderful finishing touch for game planning, so when planning the protagonist's character design, they basically spend one or two weeks carefully reading the original work, digging deep into the protagonist's characteristics, and trying their best to express every frown and smile, every move and every move. Sorry, for fans, character design is not the most important thing...

The third most votes received is the quality of art. Some fans said bluntly that the quality of the art is too poor and they are basically not played. Because when he reads novels, he will imagine the picture depicted by the author in his mind, and the picture is very beautiful. If game developers want to impress fans, then the quality of art must surpass the fantasy images in the minds of fans. One word, it’s hard to explode!

Compared with the option of "writer-producer", the option of "I hope to see a new extra in the game" is much more popular.Ranked second in the votes. Because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a classic novel, it has been released for more than ten years. The novel plot has repeatedly appeared in the hearts of fans, and fans need some freshness to get enough stimulation. Only when the writer releases a new episode can it be possible to shake the story that once confused them.

Adaptations that are faithful to the original work may not be a good adaptation in the eyes of fans. In this vote, "planned ideas and creativity" unexpectedly received the most votes. Brain creativity is what fans want to see the most. That’s right, the current monotonous gameplay and similar skills have long made players tired and disliked. In terms of gameplay, combat, and art style, it is the most concerned issue for fans. I guess this is also the most concerned issue for game developers!
