Looking at Xu Ze and He Xiaoyi, who were gradually moving away, the neglected trio also turned around and walked towards the Century Hall. Lang Yifei, one of the trio, muttered as he walked: "Aze, this guy is really inhumane, he left without even saying hello." ”

Zhao Xu, the second of the trio, leaned up and patted Lang Yifei's shoulder and said, "Forget it, they're all brothers." ”

"Hey~" Lang Yifei suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "It's okay." Aze finally got what he wanted this time, and went on a date with his sweetheart, so he naturally had to be happy for him as a brother. ”

"Yes, Aze has had a crush on that woman for a long time, but he doesn't have the courage to say that if it weren't for today's opportunity, I don't know when I would have to ......go," Zhao Xu said with emotion.

"You said that this Aze is also true, and that woman is a colleague of the same company, and he has a crush on someone else but doesn't say it, how can others know. It's really luck today, I don't know if you have noticed, when the man came over just now, Aze's face was even uglier than the dead mother......" Lang Yifei also sighed.

"Aze, this stupid person, I see that except for himself, everyone else knows that he has a crush, and even the woman may see it, so Aze is stupid and dumb." Lin Xin, who had been buried in the book, suddenly raised his head and said, "Moreover, I wonder if today's opportunity was deliberately created by that woman." ”

"Xinxin, I said you weren't reading just now? Seems to know better than anyone else, huh. Lang Yifei turned around and asked Lin Xin.

"I've said it many times, don't call me this, it sounds like a woman." Lin Xin closed the book in his hand and shouted angrily.

"What if I called." Lang Yifei continued to shake his head and said, "I dare to say it, Xinxin...... Xin'er ......"

A "murderous aura" emanated from Lin Xin's body, he took the book in his hand, roared and rushed towards Lang Yifei: "Lao Lang, don't bully the readers, you have to pay the price." ”

Lang Yifei turned around and ran, and said calmly as he ran: "Xin'er, let's talk about it when you catch up." ”

Looking at the two people who were chasing away, Zhao Xu shook his head and followed, but he sighed as he walked: "The young people nowadays are really vibrant!" ”

……

When Xu Ze and He Xiaoyi walked into the Yangtze River Hall, there were already many people sitting inside, and all the good seats in front of them were occupied. But there was no way, if you wanted to listen to the lecture, you still had to find a place to sit, so the two had to choose two seats a little further back and sit down. He Xiaoyi looked at the distant podium and couldn't help frowning, Xu Ze didn't care, as long as he could stay by He Xiaoyi's side, it was estimated that he would be willing to let him take the top of the train.

There were still five minutes before nine o'clock, and many people were talking to each other in twos and threes, and the whole conference room seemed a little noisy, but Xu Ze didn't pay attention to these at all at this time, his whole mind was on He Xiaoyi's body, although he didn't dare to stare all the time, but he couldn't help but pay attention to it with the corner of his eye. Xu Ze's right hand would move a little towards He Xiaoyi from time to time, and his heart was constantly struggling, "Grab ...... Don't catch the ......", the two voices kept echoing in his head, and every time he was only a little close, he couldn't muster up the courage to take the last step.

Just when Xu Ze was hesitating, the corner of his eye noticed that He Xiaoyi glanced back, and then immediately turned around and sat down in an orderly manner, and he was curious and wanted to take a look behind him. As soon as he turned his head, Xu Ze felt a warm, slippery touch coming from his hand, he knew that it was He Xiaoyi's hand, his heartbeat involuntarily began to speed up again, and his breathing was a little short. The courage that had been playing hide and seek with him before also returned to Xu Ze's body at this time, and he held He Xiaoyi's hand with his backhand, and an indescribable emotion spread in his heart, maybe a little excited, maybe a little panicked, or a little happy. In short, Xu Ze's heart was full of happiness, and he even hoped that he could hold it like this forever.

was intoxicated, Xu Ze's ear came from He Xiaoyi's deliberately suppressed voice: "Sit down, don't look back, the boss is behind you." ”

Xu Ze was startled, quickly turned his head back, and sat down in the same manner as He Xiaoyi, but his hand was not willing to let go. The jade hand in his hand did not struggle, and Xu Ze's heart became even sweeter, but he didn't forget to ask in a whisper: "Xiaoyi, you just said boss?" Is it Mr. Li? ”

"It's not Mr. Li, it's older than him, the real boss of the company, Mr. Zhang." He Xiaoyi looked ahead and replied in a low voice.

"Mr. Zhang? Who is it? Isn't the general manager of the company Mr. Li? Xu Ze was so puzzled that he almost turned his head to look, but the pain in his hand made him immediately dispel this thought.

He Xiaoyi frowned, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Oh, I remembered, I'm afraid you haven't seen Mr. Zhang when you came to the company." He spent a lot of time in the company in the first two years, but now he comes less. You didn't attend the last new game seminar. Well, by the way, you've probably seen the headmaster of your Storm Game Academy. ”

"Well, I met at the opening ceremony, and he also left a contact number for each of us, saying that we can find him if we have difficulties." Xu Ze nodded and replied.

"Your principal is Mr. Zhang, he is not a simple character, and he was named the richest man in the world by a foreign magazine this year."

He Xiaoyi's low voice set off a huge wave in Xu Ze's heart, the person who looked a little ordinary sitting on the podium was actually such a big person. When he first joined the company, he heard from a former employee that the company's investor was the richest man in the world, and he thought it was bragging, but now it seems to be true.

……

A few minutes ago, Zhang Lexing and Zhao Haiguang came to the Yangtze River Hall and chose two seats in the back and sat down. The reason why Zhao Haiguang is here is because he took the lead in preparing for the China Gamer Development Conference, and now that it has opened, it is natural to come and see the situation. Zhang Lexing did not participate in the direct preparation of the China Gamer Development Conference, but the senior game producers who came to give a special lecture this time were all invited by his connections, and Zhao Haiguang also came, so of course he also had to come to join in the fun.

Looking at the crowded situation in front of him, Zhao Haiguang leaned back on the chair and said happily: "It seems that the response this time is good, and the hard work during this time has not been in vain." ”

"That's it, Brother Zhao, you have been preparing for many months, and in order to allow more game companies to participate, you have traveled a lot of places." Seeing the current situation, Zhang Lexing was also very happy, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Lexing, it's not easy for you, if you weren't out of the horse, where would you be able to invite so many senior game producers to give a lecture. If it weren't for your support, that game development technology showcase wouldn't have been able to get it. It can be said that without your help, this developer conference would have been a sorority at best. ”

"It doesn't matter, everyone is here to revitalize the domestic game industry, and they all come together so that there will be more domestic good games to play in the future, and we are not outsiders."

Zhao Haiguang is very happy that he is a prospective brother-in-law, how capable he is, he knows that his game career can develop to this point today, it is indispensable for his advice and advice on the side, and his direct support. Zhang Lexing is also very happy that the domestic game industry can have such a big change, and people like Zhao Haiguang and his friends are indispensable to love games and are willing to devote themselves to this industry, and they also have a strong relationship.

At this moment, Zhang Lexing noticed that there was a woman in the first two rows who looked back and back, although it was just a glance, Zhang Lexing still recognized that this person was from his own company, and the dumb kid sitting next to her was also from the company. It seems that the two of them sit very well, but the abnormality of the arm between the two people was keenly discovered by Zhang Lexing, and it seems that the two of them are not just listening to lectures. Zhang Lexing smiled, and did not plan to do much, but continued to chat with Zhao Haiguang.

A few moments later, the side door near the podium opened, and an old foreigner in a long-sleeved T-shirt, black pants, and sneakers walked in: Sid Meier. Many people had already recognized Sid Meier through the photos attached to the conference materials, and when they saw the main speaker of the lecture coming, everyone quickly quieted down, and Zhang Lexing also stopped talking with Zhao Haiguang, all looking forward to Sid Meier's speech.

Sid Mayer stepped up to the podium, and everyone in the audience who was not very good at English immediately took off the headphones hanging next to the chair and put them on, this time Zhao Haiguang made a lot of money, in order to prevent the language barrier, he also specially prepared six simultaneous interpreters, and they were all trained in game terminology.

"I started developing games in 1984, when the first game I made was Solo Flight......" As Sid Meier recounted, the headset listeners heard the Chinese interpreter simultaneously.

“…… I've been trying to give players an authentic experience for so many years, but I have to admit that it's still hard for me to understand what players really think, and it's really frustrating to be honest. Speaking of which, Sid Mayer also cooperated with his expressions and movements.

"At the end of the day, gameplay is a psychological experience," Sid Meier continued, "and a better game can only be made if you are fully aware of that." This kind of psychological experience can be called a 'winner's labyrinth', where players always expect the designer to give them enough challenges, but often hope that they can win themselves, because in the real world it is impossible to always win, so players want to achieve it in the game. Players want to be brave in the game, like Rambo can go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and they also want to show their wisdom, like Sherlock Holmes can solve mysteries, so when designing the game, the game designer must maintain a special tacit understanding with the player.

……

Players tend to accept the elements you give them and will be happy to discover their own playstyle or strategy from them, and in the process, you need to make them feel better than the rest. If you can't give the player enough rewards in the first 15 minutes of the game, it's going to be hard to attract them again.

……

If the game is neither joyful nor cartoonish, but instead keeps popping up with something terrible, the player is likely to drop the game and walk away. If you want to keep players in the world you've designed, you have to use a combination of humor, style, sound, and atmosphere to keep them entertained.

For example, when Civilization was first designed, the game was based on a real-time system, just like the previous Railway Tycoon, where players were able to see the constant changes on the map, and borrowed from SimCity's partitions, where players could divide their areas into agricultural areas or resource gathering areas. But after making a half-finished product, I realized that the real-time mode is like waiting for a painting to dry, and the process is too boring, so this version was reversed and restarted, and then came the later turn-based "Civilization". We also gained a lot of experience in the process, and we found that in the real-time mode, the player feels more like a spectator, while the turn-based mode is more like the master of the game.

……

You can't pass too much in a game, you have to make trade-offs.

……

The use of player psychology can save the cost of the game, to leave enough imagination space for players, to make full use of the player's existing knowledge, so that players can imagine and make up for themselves, which will bring greater satisfaction.

……”

As Sid Meier's last words fell, the audience burst into applause. Zhang Lexing doesn't know how many people can understand what Sid Mayer said or listen to it, but even if only one person understands, it is a good thing in Zhang Lexing's view, at least it can bring some food for everyone, and it can also bring more connotation to the game in the future, as long as there is hope, it is still good after all.

After Sid Meier's lecture, Xiao Donghai gave a lecture on "How to Ensure Gameplay and Loop Experience", but at this time, Zhang Lexing did not continue to stay to listen to the lecture, because he still had to arrange the third day of the "Game Development Technology Showcase", and he needed to select the game development technology on display, so as to be more suitable for future development strategies.

After the morning lectures, special lectures such as "Classification and Development History of Computer Games" and "Interaction Research in Game Interface Design" were arranged in the afternoon. By the second day, the lecture had turned into a hands-on experience exchange session on programming, planning, and art, and many newcomers had learned a lot of valuable knowledge, and although they could not achieve the goal of leveling up right away, they had the opportunity to avoid the same detour in the future.

On the third day of the China Gamer Development Conference, the theme became a display of game development technology, including the 3D effect demonstration of the Rare3DII graphics card that Zhang Lexing got from the ATI laboratory, the latest popular game development technology abroad, and the Demo program made by using the Build3D engine of the creative workshop, etc., of course, the highlight is the promotion of the KylinWindows95 platform. Zhang Lexing hopes that through his own efforts, domestic game companies can enter this development platform with great development potential earlier, and the international game development technology level will be higher earlier, so he has specially arranged for someone to prepare a large number of brochures called "DirectX Game Development Guide" in advance, the main content is to take a game design process as an example, to explain how to use C++ and DirectX (the multimedia application interface provided by the Kylin Windows 95 platform) to develop a gameFor example, the planning of the game, the content of the game engine, what functions DirectX has, etc., although due to time constraints, this booklet cannot be very detailed in every aspect, but it is still enough as a manual for game design to start, at least it can point out the direction of game design, and give you a lot of inspiration.

……

The three-day conference went by in a blink of an eye, and many of the game developers who were lucky enough to participate in it felt that they had benefited a lot, and when they left, everyone had a large stack of conference materials in their hands, intending to go back and study it carefully, and most of the game developer contacts they brought back were borrowed by the company's CEOs. In the past six months, the CEOs of many game companies have seen clearly, and now domestic game development talents are mainly concentrated in Tianzhiyuan and Creative Workshops, plus the junior talents provided by Fengyun Game Academy. In the middle of the year, some game companies that are accustomed to waiting and watching missed the batch of graduates of Fengyun Game Academy, and only a few companies such as Jinshan Company and Hindsight Pioneer made a move to carve up 60 graduates, and when they ended the wait-and-see, these game companies found out that it was too late, and they had to wait a year for the graduates of Fengyun Game Academy. In desperation, they had to set their sights on the Garden of Heaven and the Creative Workshop, but unfortunately the Garden of Heaven is all for the writer's game console industry, occasionally digging one or two, and it seems that the computer is also a little unaccustomed, so in the period of time after the conference, the game development team of the creative workshop frequently receives calls from the CEOs of other game companies in person, and even comes to visit, but unfortunately whether it is the salary level, the creative environment or the development opportunities, they can't come up with the conditions that can be compared with the creative workshop. So this vigorous quasi-poaching activity became a tiger, and it didn't take long for these game companies to finally figure out the situation, and finally had to stop fighting.
