Chapter 17: New Games (2)
New working environment, new atmosphere.
Yu Hao reaffirmed the rules of the studio and refused all forms of gambling, Li Yueshi couldn't help but roll her eyes, isn't this just to repay the debt?
If you don't pay the bill, you can't help it, Yu Hao only loses a pair of underwear in the end, and if you don't pay the bill, you have to have a mosaic.
At this moment, he cleared his throat and said, "For the opening of the studio, I have also prepared a gift for everyone." ”
Everyone was puzzled, and Li Yueshi, for example, clearly realized that gifts must be the truth of the mission.
Other people are not stupid, and they can think of this layer, like the dead fat man who keeps gesturing his middle finger.
Although Yu Hao didn't have any prestige at this time, he continued to explain hard.
At this time, through the thief, the plan was also sent to everyone.
"Fruit Knifeman?"
Fruit Swordsman, the thief is very clear, as the first batch of old courtiers to fight with Yu Hao, of course he is very puzzled, Yu Hao obviously denied the idea of "Fruit Swordsman", why is it still mentioned now.
Just like the thief, Li Boyuan also asked: "This, the game runs on a mobile phone?"
His question is very precise and goes straight to the point.
Indeed, today's mobile games running games of this volume will inevitably become a new generation of graphics card crisis.
It's too big for today's hardware, and unless it's optimized by the industry's top programmers, the frame rate is impressive.
For example, the idea of getting a fruit-cutting game in a dream actually came from a small talk, and the original idea for "Fruit Ninja" came from an advertisement, and it was born very quickly, and the background and basic gameplay of the game were the same as the employee's fantasy.
Just six weeks later, Halfbrick officially launched the game.
Although games on mobile platforms are usually designed to be relatively simple due to the limitations of mobile screens and running capabilities, the fruit does not allow for the slightest laziness in the player's subtle places.
For example, if you play the game screen of "Fruit Knife" at 10th speed, you will clearly see the direction of the juice splashing after a fruit is cut, and how the juice disappears little by little. It is the effect of such details that makes users feel that cutting fruit is "very cool".
There's a well-known saying in the gaming world that a successful game is sure to be very easy to pick up and yet hard to really master completely.
This phrase is especially important for casual games. "Fruit Knifeman" takes this to the extreme.
When people open the game, they will naturally click on the fruit icon when they see it, but they will see the prompt of their finger swiping, so they will naturally use the gesture of swiping to click on the icon, and will continue this interaction into the game.
When the user sees the fruit pop up, they will cut it, because the bomb will appear soon, and if the bomb is touched, the game will end. So the user knows not to touch the bomb, and then plays, and soon finds that there is a reward for cutting several fruits in a row, so they will try to cut them in a row.
With such discovery and learning, users will soon know the basic gameplay of the game. But there are still a lot of tricks to master to get a high score.
Behind the "cut" there is not only a picture effect, but also a good psychological effect. What players can intuitively feel is that the moment the fruit is cut will burst, this feeling can give people stimulation and venting, which is why Halfbrick attaches great importance to the effect of the fruit exploding after cutting.
One detail is the popping up of random fruits. In arcade mode, there will be some bananas that can play a special role, such as time slowing and double points, and whether or not you can get a high score depends largely on the number of bananas in a game.
Of course, all this became the content of "Yu Hao" thanks to the design.
According to his design, the better the user plays, the more likely the banana will appear, which will help the user to create a higher score.
And if the user doesn't play very well, it will increase the chance of the bomb appearing.
For example, in the Chinese market, 30% of the downloads of "Fruit Ninja" in his memory came from China, so it was naturally impossible to let go.
Besides, are there any complicated approval procedures in your memory, so why not give it a try!!
The controls in this game are extremely simple, and all kinds of fruits will pop up on the screen - watermelons, pineapples, kiwis, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, pomegranates, star fruits, apples, dragon fruits, etc., and players can slash the fruit like a ninja warrior by moving their fingers across the screen.
They must be quickly chopped down before they fall, but in addition to the many fruits that are thrown, there will also be things mixed with bombs and the like, which will explode if they are sliced. Fruits can be large and small, and small fruits are less easy to cut.
Cutting through different fruits, you will see bright flesh of different colors, and like some fruits with a lot of moisture, juices of various colors splash into the air or splash onto the wall. The game doesn't have a unique soundtrack, just the sound of chopping fruit and the crisp sound of birds.
There are three different modes for players to choose from in the single-player game of Fruit Knife, and more modes may be introduced as the version continues to be updated.
"Can you do it?" asked Yu Hao.
No one below dared to answer, it was too risky.
At this time, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket and said confidently: "Actually, it's not difficult, because Hua Wei's new mobile phone has come out, and it just so happens that I also got an engineering machine." ”
"And this mobile phone is equipped with 1.3Hz dual core, 2G memory, 16G storage space, and the capacitive screen supports multi-touch, so this means ......"
Li Boyuan's eyes lit up, if it can be like Yu Hao said, then it will change the scene that no one cares about abroad, and it will definitely be a crowded scene when the time comes.
As he expected. Yu Hao said: "This means that the mobile game industry has exploded!!
"It's not just mobile games, it's also apps. ”
Li Boyuan sighed: "I didn't expect our country to catch up so quickly. ”
Due to the ban on sales to China, foreign manufacturers such as Samsung and Apple cannot enter, and there is no way to purchase components, so they can only develop themselves.
Unlike different time and space, this world has its own mature chip companies, but they are biased towards the middle and low end.
The time for natural research and development is shorter, and of course, some people on the Internet who do not know the meaning are still slandering China.
Yu Hao naturally didn't have time to care so much, and assigned game design tasks at this time:
"I'm in charge of the overall control and setting the values, and you're in charge of programming with Gold Lee. “
"Innis, you're in charge of the concept art, right?"
"Naturally, no problem ( ̄▽ ̄)!" replied Lee.
