Chapter 150: The Big Red and the Purple
Wang Xin thought with a sneer in his heart.
......
Wang Xin hated the housekeeper in his heart
At this moment, Lin Xi didn't put too much thought into this.
At this moment, Lin Xi is checking the development progress of the two games on the side of the game development team.
Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies were both games that were only developed in '09, and now it's '07.
It was two years earlier than the original normal development time!
Both games exist as game classics, and they have taken the world by storm in just a few months.
The cute red birds, the green humming and chirping, the blue nose and the swollen pig are memories that most Chinese people have never forgotten.
The cute painting style, the unique customs clearance mode, and the cool effect animation are all reasons why this game can be loved by many Chinese people.
As for the popularity of Plants vs. Zombies, not to mention.
And even to a large extent more fiery than Angry Birds.
Every time the game is over, the brains that are eaten can be piled up to turn into a Mount Everest.
And the bulldozer that sticks to the last of the battle line will always be the god in the hearts of players!
It's an undeniable question how classic these two games really are.
Casual games, compared to action games, RPG online games are different from traditional games.
Casual games cover a wider range of people, suitable for all ages, and will not become constrained by covering a certain group alone.
The huge user base and ultra-high user viscosity are incomparable advantages for casual games as other games.
Just right!
The strong user viscosity of casual games is exactly what Lin Xi needs.
The game development team, compared to the software development team, has nearly 50 more people!
Outstanding graduates from various universities gathered here to develop two classic and popular casual games.
The two games have been in development for almost a month now.
The general game structure, the plot direction, and the action image painting have all been almost completed.
The reason why I am here today is because Angry Birds has developed a simple version.
If needed, let him test it himself and use it to decide the future direction of game development.
"Mr. Lin ......"
"The game test plan is out......"
"Take a look. ”
A tall girl with a work card stepped forward, handed Lin Xi a document in her hand, and said with a smile.
Liu Shu, the current executive director of Angry Birds game development, looks like he is only twenty-seven or eight, but he is a master's degree graduate from a well-known university.
"Okay, I'll take a look!" Lin Xi glanced at her, took the document in her hand and flipped through it.
He asked, "Can the development of the game be completed by March next year?"
"Next March?"
"The current plot direction and level design have been designed. ”
"If all goes well, there will be no big problem with the completion of the development in March next year. ”
"What about the beta version?"
"Take me to see it. Lin Xi said.
He handed her the document in his hand: "There is nothing wrong with the plan. ”
"Just follow this plan and start the development of the future. ”
"Okay!" Liu Shu smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Lin, come with me...... The beta version is currently in development. ”
"But for now, there are only five levels. ”
"But the sound effects, the animations are all developed according to the official version. ”
Liu Shu opened his mouth to explain.
Lin Xi nodded: "Okay! ”
Liu Shu nodded and led him to a computer, and a boy in the position quickly got up.
"That's it!" Liu Shu said.
Lin Xi sat down directly.
Look at the game's animated interface that has been opened on the computer.
Mr. Lin...... I'm going to turn it on. The boy next to him hurriedly spoke, tapping a few times on the keyboard.
The whole interface suddenly came to life.
"Toot toot toot toot...... Doodoo ...... Toot Toot Toot ......"
Familiar music suddenly came to mind.
Looking at the level interface in front of you, the animation effect of the green pig and the red bird jumping up and down, with the brainwashing music.
For a moment, Lin Xi felt as if he was back to the feeling he had when he first played Angry Birds.
Unforgettable music, a smiling and underbeaten green-skinned pig!
"Whew......" Lin Xi let out a breath, with some faint expectation in his heart.
As Liu Shu said, the current Angry Birds is only a beta version, and there are only 1 to 5 levels to choose from.
With anticipation, I clicked on the first level and tested it, and the first level of Angry Birds was not difficult at all.
It's such a simple level.
Lin Xi tried back and forth five or six times, and the sound effect was still familiar.
The sizzle of a slingshot taut, the green-skinned pig, the house collapsing, and the explosion sound effects that turn into a bunch of fractions.
In addition to the design of the image, there are some differences with the original Angry Birds in some details.
But for the game development team, it's already very rare.
A simple test version, Lin Xi tried it for nearly half an hour.
The game developers who were watching from the side were somewhat nervous and watched Lin Xi play the beta version.
Lin Xi put down the mouse in his hand.
Truth be told, Angry Birds, the fit of this game's development isn't much different from the previous version of Angry Birds.
He was already very satisfied with the result.
Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction.
I am very satisfied with this beta version, and the subsequent development will continue to be developed in this way as a template. ”
"Okay!" Liu Shu on the side hurriedly agreed, and seeing Lin Xi's very satisfied expression, he was also relieved.
"Then is there anything else that needs to be changed in this version?" asked Liu Shu tentatively.
"Not for now!"
"Just follow this template for development. Lin Xi said.
"Okay!" Liu Shu hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Lin Xi's affirmation is the greatest encouragement for their work.
However, Liu Shu always had a question in his heart, looking at Lin Xi, Liu Shu thought carefully in his heart, and decided to ask.
"Mr. Lin, do you think that a game like this one we developed will really have users who like it?"
Liu Shu voiced the question that had always existed in his heart.
"The most popular games on the market now are online games or FPS games. ”
"Casual games like this are not well received in the domestic game market, and the number of game users is not large. ”
"Why did we choose to develop casual games?"
Liu Shu asked cautiously.
Lin Xi turned his head to look at Liu Shu, smiled, and said seriously: "If in your eyes, do you think such a game will be popular?"
"This ...... I can't say......" Liu Shu hesitated, his mouth a little uncertain.
After all, casual games that can become popular have not yet appeared in China.
"If you want to count it, the biggest casual game in China now is QQ's QQ Farm, right?"
"QQ Farm?" Lin Xi smiled undeniably.
Looking at Liu Shu's somewhat puzzled expression, he didn't explain how hot Angry Birds was in the former domestic market.
He knew it best.
"Don't worry!
"And it will remain quite hot for a long time!" Lin Xi said seriously!
"Big red?" Liu Shu listened to Lin Xi's extremely affirmative answer.
Frowning, it is a generally accepted fact that casual games are not favored in the current domestic game market.
Although, under the meticulous development of its own game team, Angry Birds can indeed have great advantages in the graphics game and the direction of the plot.
But casual games are casual games.
He can't give people the excitement they need to play the game with a strong sense of winning or losing.
Lin Xi is a layman in game development, and Liu Shu also knows that several excellent software has been developed under Lin Xi's leadership.
But that doesn't mean you can develop a great game.
Liu Shu felt that Lin Xi's words were a little too confident!
"What, you don't believe it?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liu Shu.
He is not blind, so he can naturally see the deep disbelief in Liu Shu's eyes.
"Of course not...... I naturally believe that Mr. Lin's creativity can become popular!"
