Chapter Seventy-Two: Three Yards
Thirteen lines of code are impossible to have thirteen lines of code, and thirteen lines of code are impossible in this life.
The people who can realize "Snake" with thirteen lines of code do not exist in this world now, and may not exist in the future.
Among the many reserve programmers in the computer club, a large part gave up the struggle and returned to the unlimited single dog business.
However, the good news is that there are still a small number of people who stick to Xiali.
Actually, logically speaking, the production of "Gluttonous Snake" should be regarded as a score issue.
But why not send a score question?
It's because the members of the computer club don't know much about video games.
Even many of them only learned about the rules of the game of "Snake" through Richie's introduction.
I haven't seen the examples in advance, I don't have the object to learn, and I need to study how to implement each function by myself, which can be said to be very brain-consuming.
Probably because of this, why there are so many Mediterranean hairstyles and baldness among programmers.
Of course, these programmers are far less playful than the samurai of ancient times.
They won't make a kind of "moon head" with a shaved middle just because they are bald.
Suffice it to say, programmers are good people.
Many of them like to listen to music, and their favorite music is "Love is a Green Light".
After all, there aren't many jobs like programmers that earn more and work long hours.
Women in the United States live a very open life, and their husbands work overtime in the company every day, and they can't go back to their homes every day as if the company is home.
As a wife, you can use your husband's money to hire a fitness trainer.
You must know that in American dramas, fitness coaches have been equated with sex. Fitness trainers have been stigmatized.
But does this mean that all fitness trainers are innocent?
No, it's not at all.
In the future, China's level of urbanization will become higher and higher, the economic level will be higher and higher, and the urban population will be increasing.
Many young people who work in cities and want to have a strong body will choose to go to the gym to work out.
At this time, many people will find that fitness trainers, especially personal trainers, can actually be said to be mixed, and all kinds of chaos are not the same.
For the few people who made "Snake" with their own perseverance and intelligence, Rich invited them to join the production team of "Tricky Neighbors".
However, due to the addition of these newcomers, Richie naturally can't make Takahashi's home his own as before, and makes games at Takahashi's place every day.
You must know that Takahashi, who is an old fritter in game production, and Xiao Ai, a veteran in game production, no matter who clicks on Richie a little, has a great impact on Richie. Most of the time it's a good influence.
Rich has now even given up this opportunity to accept on-demand, and instead chose to make a game with Chinese members, and it can be said that his whole person has been sublimated.
became a person who has been detached from low-level interests and high-level interests.
The three people who passed in the end, the "Snake" produced can be said to be very different.
For example, the first "Snake" can basically be said to be a replica of the 10,000 game handhelds, with a pitch-black interface, and the white square snake eats one block after another and becomes longer.
The second "Snake" has color, but the use of color is not particularly good. After all, the colors of the current palette are like that, but they are also considered to be attentive.
The author of the third "Snake" is naturally the one who brought the girl to the computer club to play games.
He doesn't know if he has fallen into the poison of love, and the "Snake" produced has a pink, red, sweet and greasy feeling.
You know, the ability to express a mood from cold code and dull textures is very valuable.
Regardless of whether the emotions expressed make people feel disgusting.
Together with Richie, these three people began to continue the development of "Tricky Neighbors".
In fact, the game "Tricky Neighbor" has been developed to a relatively complete stage.
The basic framework and gameplay of the game have been built, and now all that is needed is strength.
It's like a building, and the design institute finishes the drawings of the building. You can go to the field and complete the whole set according to the drawings.
The process of changing drawings from 2D to 3D is a process of moving bricks.
Of course, moving bricks is not untechnical.
And if these three people talk about the technical foundation, in fact, the technical foundation also exists. In this way, the three of them have become more and more comfortable with this kind of repetitive work.
Also, the advantage of a small working group is that if you have any ideas, if you think it's good after discussion, you will basically join the game.
And that kind of big game, the scale of the production is dozens or hundreds of people, and everyone has everyone's ideas.
At this time, there can be no "democracy", because everyone makes this game according to their own wishes, and this game will definitely collapse.
Therefore......
It takes an authoritarian person to come out, in fact, the so-called game producer, who is responsible for the overall direction and style control of the whole game.
If this job is simple, it is actually simple, after all, there is no need to engage in specific work.
But to say it's easy is a joke.
As a producer of a game, it is almost essential to have the task of pulling investment and ensuring the quality of the game.
Don't look at the production of video games that don't seem to cost money, it's just some manual work.
However, the price of these labor is actually not low.
The larger the scale of the game, the more the cost is beyond the reach of the producer himself.
And there are countless games in history that may have been classics, which were cut because of financial problems.
And in this process, it depends on how hard the producer works.
Of course, the three in Richie's hands are all poor creatures who have been carried away by love, and they are all free laborers.
Although Richie won't really give them a penny, just give them the honor of being one of the producers of "Tricky Neighbors".
But that doesn't require him to pay for it now, knowing that he doesn't have much money in his pocket.
Knowing a little more than outsiders, he listened to Takahashi and the chatter of others, and already knew that in North America, as long as the logo of 10,000 households was hung on the packaging of the game, at least 100,000 sets could be sold.
What is the concept of 100,000 sets!
Don't think it's good, in the computer game category, games that can sell more than 100,000 games have basically become classic games that people talk about in the future.
