Chapter 35 Game Design

Is Kong Fang hungry for her body?

Gluttonous.

But it's just gluttony.

For him, there are more important things to do now.

After all, he is the kind of man who has a career first and then talks about family.

The current Chen sea bream is more worthy of greed than Tang Ying in his eyes.

So it took him less than five minutes to get back to the school office after a ten-minute run.

The tall Liu Lang and the glasses bald man Chen Hai, who was still wearing a white coat, were already waiting here.

"Brother Snapper, hello, I'm Kong Fang. Kong Fang hurriedly went over to shake hands with Brother Snapper, "You can just call me Xiao Kong." ”

"Kong Fang, good name. Chen Snapper praised it, and immediately got to the point, "Liu Lang should have told you about me, I heard that you want to buy my game engine? ”

"Of course. Kong Fang subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette, but after the dream, he stopped smoking, and the cigarettes he bought for business before Yang Shu was forced to take away before the holiday.

So he sneered: "Although I haven't met for a long time, Brother Snapper's reputation has always been admired." As the so-called suspects don't use, use people without suspicion. Naturally, we don't doubt Brother Snapper's strength. Of course, we are also very sincere. ”

"What sincerity?"

"The initial right to use 500,000 yuan, and if the game sells well in the future, you can also get a proportional commission. ”

Chen Snapper smiled: "I don't care about money, I only care about games." ”

He took a sip of water, then looked at Kong Fang, and said lightly: "Tell me your game concept, if you can impress me, then not only does the engine use not cost money, but I can also send the engine directly to you and participate in the follow-up development work." ”

"Of course!" Kong Fang's eyes were calm and his tone was firm.

Then he slapped Liu Lang's ...... Shoulder: "You're the mastermind, tell me what you think." ”

Liu Lang was shocked: "Ah?

He also thought that as long as he introduced the two of them, he would have nothing to do with himself.

"Nonsense, of course it's you, you're in charge of this game, not who are you?" Kong Fang first complained twice, and then smiled at Chen Snapper: "Brother Bream, forgive me, we are buddies, and we are used to getting along like this." ”

Seeing that Chen Hai said that he didn't care, Kong Fang relaxed.

Of course, Liu Lang is responsible for this matter!

He will be a gold medal game producer in the future, although he is not at that level yet, but this kind of talent should have signs now.

It's a big deal, when the time comes, I rely on the experience accumulated by "rebirth" to arch the fire.

Anyway, I must hide behind the scenes.

Otherwise, when the game is on fire, Tang Ying doesn't want his own life?

"Then you're welcome. Liu Lang coughed twice, and then his expression rarely changed from silly to serious, "What I want to do is an ARPG game." ”

ARPG, Action Role Playing Game, that is, an action role-playing game.

"ARPG. Chen Hai was unmoved, "There are already a lot of such games on the market, and my engine is still only in the semi-finished stage, in terms of picture quality, it is not beyond the level of the times, at most, the optimization is much better, and the game production can be operated foolishly." ARPG's words...... I don't see any bright spots. ”

Kong Fang nodded: "Yes, there are no highlights." ”

In fact, he still has a back hand.

It was precisely because he knew Liu Lang's metamorphosis in the future that he prepared a follow-up when he confirmed that he dreamed of the future and decided to join Tang Ying Company.

But his backhand against Liu Lang has a premise, that is, the game made by Liu Lang is really interesting.

If Liu Lang just made an ordinary ARPG ...... How can you beat the triple-A masterpieces of those super big companies on the market?

It's true that indie games are very popular that can be sold.

But even if it's the most popular game, what is it compared to those top 3A masterpieces that sell tens of millions of dollars?

His purpose is to make money, not to do anything with classic games.

It's just a classic enough game to make money as well.

"No, I'm going to make a game that really makes people go on adventures. Liu Lang's expression was unusually serious, "The game I want to do will not have any task prompts, nor will there be any maps!

An ARPG game with no maps and no quest hints...... Kong Fang's spirits lifted.

Is it that game?

The game designed and produced by Liu Lang in the dream made the game department of Leoyuan Company take the first step to become the No.1 in the game industry?

Chen Hai was also interested, he leaned forward slightly, and motioned Liu Lang to continue: "Let's talk about it." ”

Liu Lang swallowed his saliva and glanced at Kong Fang.

Receiving the encouraging look he gave, Liu Lang made up his mind and continued: "According to my assumption, the player in the game was born in a cemetery, and he woke up from the cemetery. Then there's the battle, which won't be too hard to design, but the graveyard is hard to get out of. ”

"There are four branch exits in the graveyard, and outside each exit is a maze with the same texture for each map, so players will not get lost in the maze if they remember the small differences between each map. ”

"And there are four such labyrinths. ”

"When you get out of the labyrinth, outside the labyrinth correspond to four different worlds!

"And after leaving the forest and entering these four places, the operation will increase a little more difficult, and it will become closer to the operation mode of ACT!"

"And then in each of these worlds, there are also underground worlds! They are the four worlds of immortals, spirits, demons, and demons!"

"These four realms are connected!"

"Four different mazes and eight different worlds each have their own world view and different quest chains to choose from, and these world views will eventually be integrated into a complete world view!

"Players will also take different routes of game branches because of their different choices! Players' characters will also become different people because of their different training and choice directions!"

Sure enough, it's that game, "World...... Kong Fang secretly sighed.

Is this a personal witness to history?

There are still a few problems, though.

Kong Fang didn't say anything, but Chen Snapper said: "The idea is good, relying on my engine and my help to make such a game world, but there are a few problems." ”

He raised a few fingers.

"First, with such a huge world view setting, you can't go wrong with the interweaving of various plot line world settings, can you do it?"

"Second, you told me that this level of game will be completed in two months, how are you going to solve it?"

"Thirdly, and most importantly. Chen Snapper paused and said, "According to your assumptions, most players will lose patience to play in the maze, and this game doesn't seem to be fun for them." Considering that today's games are fragmented games, why do you think this game is played, especially since this half-finished engine can't produce timeless graphics and various game mechanics. ”

"I've got a plan for that. Liu Lang smiled: "I mentioned this idea to the professor of our Faculty of Arts, and the teacher is very optimistic about it. Therefore, he sent this world view, the setting of NPCs, and the plot line as a midterm exam to the students from the first to the third year of the Faculty of Letters.

In other words, Brother Snapper, the first one you said, will be completed by all students from the first to the third year of Wenhua College of Beijing University, and the professor who has won the Lu Xun Literature Award will personally review it. ”

"The second one can also be solved, I don't run around blindly during this time. The Huamei student union next door and the computer department of our school have promised to help me realize the production of this game for free. ”

"As for the third ......"

Liu Lang looked at Chen Snapper seriously: "Brother Snapper, isn't it because we make games because of our love? I still remember my original intention of playing games, it was because I love and want to explore the unknown world that is different from reality! We are not playing games, we are adventurers! Those classmates will agree to help me complete this game precisely because they have the same goal!"

"So Brother Snapper! I want to make a game! Not because I can make money from this after graduation, but because I love games! I am willing to make it my life's work!"

"An adventurer who doesn't play games, but explores the world......" Chen Hai muttered to himself.

As a well-known boss in the industry, he has received too many invitations.

And those companies talked to him about KPIs, user monthly activity, how to make users pay and improve retention rate.

They have long forgotten the original purpose of the game.

Games are the ninth art, it's art, it's not just a commodity.

In the past few years, he has seen too many people who have the same ideas as Liu Lang and have devoted themselves to the game industry with enthusiasm.

Then, those people were quickly defeated by the cruelty of reality, and either left gloomily, or they were willing to degenerate into lackeys of capital.

It is difficult for people who really don't forget their original intention to love games to survive in this industry.

This is also the reason why he has been willing to study in school.

And in Liu Lang, he saw the shadow of those people who had just entered the industry and wanted to change the world.

He didn't want to break.

But dreams are always defeated by reality.

He looked back at Kong Fang: "Mr. Kong, no, junior brother. I know you can take full responsibility for this, so you tell me the truth. Are you willing to make a game that doesn't make money, and doesn't even have a good reputation?"

He needs an answer, and he needs to know whether there will be a company in this industry that can give up profits for the sake of his dreams.

Kong Fang was silent.

He was suddenly a little ashamed of himself.

They all have dreams, but what are my dreams?

Is it profitable?

But it doesn't matter.

I want to make money, but I also want to earn it standing up!

And Liu Lang's "World" will be a popular game all over the world in the future!

You can make money and help others realize their dreams, so why not?

Well, there's no need to dwell on it anymore.

He took a deep breath, looked at Chen Hai who was smiling, and Liu Lang, who was looking at him nervously, and said firmly:

"Yes, I want to make this game. ”

"No, it's our company that is willing to make such a game. Not only me, the vice president, but also Mr. Tang of our Leoyuan company, also has the same idea as me. ”

"We at Leoyuan will be a company that provides a platform for people with dreams to realize their dreams. Leyuan is a paradise for dreamers. ”
