Li Wenbo turned off the computer and was about to rest for a while, but he couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and he couldn't help but think of the indie game competition and the developer conference badge in his mind, until the sky was twilight, he barely closed his eyes and squinted for a while.

At half past seven in the morning, Li Wenbo was already sitting at the dining table eating the soy milk and oil fields he bought, and although he had washed his face with cold water, he still looked a little like he hadn't slept well. After eating breakfast, Li Wenbo came to the sofa and sat down, and began to call the other members of Clover Studio one by one, planning to take advantage of today's rest to inform them to come over and discuss the matter of participating in the indie game competition.

The founding members of Clover Studio are Li Wenbo, Hao Wei, Zhao Sanyang and Qin Qifeng, they are all friends for many years, and they are also playmates who often play together, especially Hao Wei, the two of them also participated in the short course of Fengyun Game Academy together, and the reason why there is a Clover Studio is also because of Hao Wei's words, everyone is moved.

At first, we wanted to develop a game together, but we were more of a whim, and when we actually did it, we realized that developing a game is not a simple task, even with the assistance of "Game Dream Factory", it is not an easy task. At that time, Li Wenbo hesitated and hesitated, he knew that other people were similar to him, but fortunately, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, flipped through some reference books, and even made a special trip back to Fengyun Game Academy to ask for advice from former teachers, and some of the difficulties and obstacles that stood in the way gradually found a way to move away, and Clover Studio also attracted people to join.

There are two new people who joined Clover Studio, one is named Wu Chengyun, a buddy introduced by Zhao Sanyang, who plays music, and also formed a band to perform their electroacoustic music in some bars at night, and there is often free during the day, so he was pulled by Zhao Sanyang to help create background music, game sound effects or something. The other is called Cheng Xue, who is Qin Qifeng's girlfriend of the hot-blooded boy, a very quiet woman, who is said to have participated in the national original animation competition held by the famous animation magazine "Picture Book King", and also won a second place, and is currently working as the assistant to the main creator of an animation studio called "Qiqing" in Beijing. Because Zhao Sanyang, who was in charge of art at Clover Studio, was a little too busy, she was dragged by Qin Qifeng to occasionally help draw some set drafts or something.

After a phone call, Hao Wei, Zhao Sanyang and Qin Qifeng all agreed to rush over to discuss things, but they all "blackmailed" a lunch to compensate for being woken up by the phone early in the morning on the weekend. Cheng Xue couldn't spare time to come over because the strange anime was rushing to the draft, but she had already said on the phone that she would not object, so she abstained. As for the guy Wu Chengyun, the phone rang for a long time before he answered it, and he hung up the phone without saying a word. From Wu Chengyun's refined words, Li Wenbo still heard what he meant, he was too high in the bar yesterday, and he was not alone when he went home, so what, there is no big thing that the sky has fallen, so don't bother him anymore.

Listening to Wu Chengyun's words and the refreshing background voice on the phone, Li Wenbo couldn't help but think of his girlfriend Mi Xiaonuo, and counted with his fingers, she was coming back in three days, and a happy life was not far away, he rubbed his hands excitedly, and some inappropriate pictures began to appear in his mind......

At a quarter past nine, there was a knock on the door, which woke Li Wenbo up from his dream, he stood up and came to the door, and looked out through the cat's eye, as if he had made an appointment outside the door, Hao Wei, Zhao Sanyang and Qin Qifeng were all here. He hurriedly opened the door and beckoned, "Brothers are here, please come in, please come in!"

"Hehe," Qin Qifeng didn't bother to change his shoes as soon as he entered the door, so he said with a smile: "Doctor, the brothers have discussed it, and they came here without breakfast, but they pointed to your lunch." ”

"Ah!" Li Wenbo remembered that when he called before, he seemed to have promised a lot of unequal treaties, but he was daydreaming just now, and he forgot to make some preparations in advance. Fortunately, there is still some stock of dim sum or something at home, as for the problem of Chinese food, anyway, there is a "Yipin Pot" outside the door of the community, and it tastes good after eating a few times before.

After thinking clearly, Li Wenbo's expression relaxed, and he greeted with a smile: "Don't worry, you are absolutely full, if you don't last until noon, there is still some dim sum at home, you can use it as the bottom first." ”

"Don't listen to that kid's nonsense, doctor, we all got here after eating something. It's okay, let's talk about it first. Hao Wei changed his shoes, stood up and said.

Zhao Sanyang, who had just untied his shoelaces and was changing into slippers, squatted down and said, "That's right, let's get down to business first." ”

Speaking of his companions who were very serious about talking about business, Qin Qifeng didn't care about continuing to study the problem of lunch, reached out and took off his shoes, put them on the shoe rack on the side, and then chose a pair of slippers to put on.

Several people came to the sofa and sat down together, Li Wenbo served a few boxes of snacks diligently, and asked casually after putting them away, "What do you want to drink?"

"Doctor, don't be busy. Hao Wei beckoned to Li Wenbo and said, "Just take what you need to drink." You come and sit down first, let's get down to business. ”

Seeing that Zhao Sanyang and Qin Qifeng did not object, Li Wenbo turned around and brought a cold boiled kettle and a few cups, and then took out the two printed articles of the independent game competition from his workshop. On the coffee table in front of the sofa, Li Wenbo looked at his friend and said, "Let's take a look at this first." ”

Hao Wei reached out and picked up a copy, slowly flipped through it, Zhao Sanyang also picked up a copy, and Qin Qifeng, who was sitting next to him, came over, and took advantage of his efforts to turn it, and also looked at it. After waiting for a while, Li Wenbo saw that these people had already turned to the last page, so he said, "How about it, are you interested in participating in the indie game competition?"

Hao Wei closed the charter in his hand, did not throw it back on the coffee table, but continued to hold it in his hand, rolled it into a cylinder and waved it a few times, and said: "Of course I'm interested, the game we developed can't be kept at home, and now that we have such a good opportunity to recommend it to others, we must seize it!"

"Hmm......" Zhao Sanyang nodded, and then said worriedly: "But with our game, can we compete with others?"

"It should work. Qin Qifeng said with a little lack of confidence: "Anyway, I still like to play, but the process of the game is a little shorter." ”

Li Wenbo is very clear about what is wrong with the game, after all, he is a part-time planner and main programmer of Clover Studio, and Hao Wei is the main planner and part-time programmer. In fact, when they first conceived the game, they still had a lot of ideas, and set a shooting game similar to "Thunderbolt" as the keynote, and then the barrage was a little distinctive, the enemy was like this, and the same was true on their own side, and the use of airplanes was too monotonous, and it was necessary to design a few distinctive characters as the protagonists, and you could also get some upgrade systems and equipment props or something.

And so on, and so on, there were a lot of interesting ideas in the initial idea, but after actually starting to do it, a few people realized that the game development was a little more difficult than they imagined, even with the support of "Game Dream Works". Li Wenbo and Hao Wei also thought about giving up, but in the end they persevered, with the support of friends, with the help of friends in the game forum, and under the advice of teachers from Fengyun Game Academy, some problems gradually found solutions, but limited by the level, the original idea was only partially realized.

Now this tentative name "Legend Moonlit Night" game can be played smoothly, but there are still a lot of shortcomings, of which the process is too short is the most obvious problem, known as a shooting game, but in fact there are only two big levels, if the level is better, you can clear all the customs in forty or fifty minutes, which really makes people feel a little unfinished, of course, this problem is also easy to solve, especially with the help of Cheng Xue.

Originally, the art part of the Clover Studio was all counting on Zhao Sanyang, but he was now engaged in industrial design, which is to help some factories produce product design packaging or something, but this group of people chose the cartoon style when determining the overall style of the game, which is quite different from what Zhao Sanyang does on weekdays, and the scene setting is barely usable, but the design of the characters makes everyone very disappointed, fortunately, Qin Qifeng's girlfriend Cheng Xue pointed out when she came over once, with her second-place skills in the national competition, plus the experience accumulated as an assistant in the Qiqing Animation Studio, the character design made is better than Zhao Sanyang, and it looks very spiritual.

However, Cheng Xue, who joined halfway, still has her own job, at most, she occasionally comes to give advice while she is resting, or helps to draw two pictures, and the main painting task still depends on Zhao Sanyang's side. Because the art is not good enough, the game can only be reduced to what it is now. But there is still time, there is still more than half a year before the deadline for registration, Li Wenbo believes that Zhao Sanyang can finish painting no matter what, it's really not a big deal to pay some money to ask Cheng Xue's strange animation studio to help, and outsource the art part to them. The means of outsourcing are still Li Wenbo learned when he participated in the short course of Fengyun Game Academy, of course, the teacher just briefly mentioned, and the specific details were later found out by himself, in the case of insufficient technical strength or personnel deployment, outsourcing is a good solution.

Wu Chengyun's identity is almost a bit like outsourcing, but he is responsible for the music part of the game, maybe there are too many good games, in the process of developing "Legend Moonlit Night", Li Wenbo and Hao Wei didn't plan to choose some pop music by the way, they hope to create music that is more in line with the atmosphere of "Legend Moonlit Night", so as to ensure the overall game feeling. Now it seems that the music part may be the most brilliant part of the game "Legend Moonlit Night" for the time being, and compared with other imperfect parts, the original or varied electronic music of Wu Chengyun, who has been immersed in music for many years, is still quite emotional.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were still relatively unified, Hao Wei said happily: "Okay, since everyone wants to participate, let's discuss now how to improve "Legend of Moonlit Night", after all, this is the first shot of our Clover Studio, not to mention what award to get, at least it must be shortlisted." And if you can be shortlisted, you can also get a developer conference badge and an exhibition visit badge, which is not a casual opportunity to get. ”

"That's right," Li Wenbo nodded and agreed: "The top priority now is to improve the game, and there is still more than half a year, it should be enough." ”

"Then where do we start?" Qin Qifeng's face was still a little confused when he said this, and he looked a little lacking in confidence.

"I think we should first make each level design more interesting, or add some small levels, five or six small levels are connected in series to form a big level, each small level can try to make some changes, and add a little background introduction or something, a big level is a short story, and the scene design or something can refer to the story plot to make it more appropriate......" Zhao Sanyang said and said a little lacking in confidence: "But the character setting, scene setting, well, you may need Cheng Xue to come over to help with guidance." ”

Li Wenbo suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, slapped his thigh, and said happily: "Story! Yes, it's a story!"

"Doctor, what are you talking about, what kind of story?" Hao Wei asked puzzledly, and Zhao Sanyang and Qin Qifeng on the side also nodded, and the posture was obviously "confess and be lenient".

"I also remembered it when I heard Sanyang say to design a short story for each Daguan. Li Wenbo smiled and said: "Have you read the book "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", which was written by the master of Zhulou. ”

Hao Wei and Zhao Sanyang shook their heads, Qin Qifeng also shook his head, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "Well, I recently watched a "Purple and Green Twin Sword Record", it seems to be written by a person named Ni Kuang, the guy who wrote Wesley. Well, I remember that the frontispiece of "Ziqing Shuangjian Lu" seems to mention that this book is based on the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion. ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, anyway, I mean I want to set the background of "Legend of the Moonlight Night" as a battle between sword fairies and demons, it turns out that the plots and character settings we conceived are a bit reluctant, and people can't understand why after playing, so we can appropriately draw on the plot of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" or "Ziqing Double Sword Record". Li Wenbo began to slowly introduce his thoughts: "The character settings can refer to the characters in these two books, such as Li Yingqiong who uses the Ziying Sword, Zhou Qingyun who holds the Qingsuo Sword, Yu Yingnan, the owner of the Nanming Lihuo Sword, and so on. In the game, when the character first appeared on the stage, he used ordinary weapons, and the attack range and power were relatively limited, through the upgrade system and various equipment props that played out, the attack range and power can be improved, and the form of the attack can also be modified (that is, the form of the barrage), we can also design something similar to the rage value in the fighting game, once it is full, you can release the strongest attack of the weapon, a bit similar to the super nirvana in the fighting game, if it is a doubles, assuming that the two sides use a weapon similar to the Ziying Sword and the Qingsuo Sword, there is a chance to use a super attack with a combination of two swords, which is more powerful than the super special attack that comes with the weapon......"

Maybe Li Wenbo said that he was very devoted, or his idea was really attractive, Hao Wei, Zhao Sanyang and Qin Qifeng, who were sitting on the side, were all fascinated, except for nodding from time to time, they even forgot to drink the water in front of him, of course, Li Wenbo is the same, he only has a new idea about "Legend" in his heart now, although it is not perfect, but he is still eager to share it with his friends, so that he can "Legend" Make a better bullet hell shooter and get a chance to be a finalist in future indie game competitions......
