Chapter 12 Game Production
With the assistance of the host, Lin Shu's use of code is basically not sluggish, and it can even be said that he can use it smoothly. Although the programming language used in these years is quite different from the one he used later, Lin Shu can't help but have a plug-in, which is still an extremely domineering plug-in.
When Lin Shu uses the host computer to write programs, it is completely carried out in groups of codes, not line by line, not one key and one key, and there will be no input errors at all.
If it weren't for Lin Shu not finding a way to download or upload the text in the host to the real computer, he could even complete a super-large game independently without worrying about the amount of programming and scripts, because the brain, assisted by the host, its search time for the code is almost negligible, as long as Lin Shu takes into account the required conditions in his mind, the host will automatically list the modules that meet the requirements.
Because of this anti-heaven plug-in, Lin Shu has actually completed the programming of the entire game at this time, and even passed a simple test, but he has not been able to input all the content into the computer in reality. But these are just physical jobs, and they are not a problem for him.
After all the code was entered and the basic program encryption was carried out, and the drawings provided by Du Sitong were obtained, Lin Shu converted the drawn images into a game-specific format, and then designed a few plots, and finally appeared in front of Du Sitong, it became such a seemingly simple, but in fact, the design was very surprising and ingenious.
"Because it's a casual cultivation type, the requirements on the screen are relatively low, basically as long as you use the paper doll system." Lin Shu explained to Du Sitong, "My family is not very rich, and my pocket money is limited, and more complex games are difficult to complete independently by our grass team, so I can only try to make something simple." β
Du Sitong was already surprised, but when he heard him say this, he said with a black line on his face: "How old are you, this is too thoughtful, right?" Or only? β
Lin Shu smiled, didn't argue with her, just asked, "Teacher, what do you think of this system?" β
Du Sitong swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't understand it very well, but I always feel that it is very powerful." Did you really do it yourself? β
Lin Shu knew that she couldn't understand it, so she dared to let Du Sitong know it so aggressively. "It's just the two of us now," he said. β
Then he taught Du Sitong how to set the number jΓΉ, how to set the conditions and enter the plot, Du Sitong studied for a while, was surprised, and asked, "Make a game...... How simple is it? β
Lin Shu smiled - where is the simplicity of making games, it is obvious that he made this engine system is simple, it is one of the most classic styles of fool-style game engines in later generations, and it is known as a simple system that can be learned by three-year-old children. But Lin Shu didn't tell Du Sitong about this, but said: "Generally speaking, it won't be so simple, but I deliberately designed the engine to be easier to use...... In order to make money later. β
Du Sitong was obsessed with new fields, but he didn't pay much attention to what Lin Shu said, just kept clicking here and there, pondering the purpose of every button on the screen.
At the end, she suddenly realized something, and asked Lin Shu, "This isn't a game, is it?" β
There is neither a specific game interface nor a storyline. It's not so much a game as a software that makes games. There are still some parts on it that Du Sitong can't even see what the effect is, and there is nothing to explain...... But all in all, it doesn't look like a game.
Lin Shu nodded and said, "It's just an engine." I haven't started writing the story of the game yet, but I already have a rough idea. Then he paused and asked Du Sitong, "By the way, how is your writing ability, teacher?" Can you do copywriting? β
Du Sitong Qingten: "What do you say!?" β
This kid! She also taught them a class of Chinese lessons.
Lin Shu didn't have the consciousness to attract people, and when he heard Du Sitong's rhetorical question, he just blinked his eyes and asked, "So it shouldn't be good?" β
Du Sitong rolled his eyes: "I also won a national short story award." β
Lin Shu saw that she was unhappy, and hurriedly smoothed her hair: "The teacher is so powerful." What story did the teacher write? Can you show me if you have a chance? β
Du Sitong squinted at Lin Shu, Lin Shu tried to make a sincere statement, Du Sitong was smoothed out, and said with a smile: "I'll print it next time and show it to you." β
Du Sitong's writing skills are a good thing for Lin Shu, because it means that the squeezable value of this teacher has been increased - the workload of the two-person game group is really sad, Du Sitong can share a little more, and Lin Shu feels that this game has the hope of being released as soon as possible.
Du Sitong has seen the game engine designed by Lin Shu, but she doesn't take the whole thing as a joke like before, and somewhat believes that Lin Shu may really be able to make a game - although this matter is still a bit incredible in her opinion, but the facts are in front of her, and she can't help but believe it.
Du Sitong was not the kind of person who was stubborn to the point of conceit, so as long as Lin Shu showed his ability, even if he was only a ten-year-old child, Du Sitong would tell himself that there were still geniuses in this world.
It's stress-free to accept.
Then the two discussed the specific plot content.
"Three Kingdoms." Lin Shu's opinion on this is very clear, and he has no hesitation, "You can borrow the plot of history to save a lot of effort." β
Du Sitong blinked his eyes and said, "Three Kingdoms? Didn't you say you were going to make a development game? β
Lin Shu replied with a smile: "There is no conflict between the cultivation game and the Three Kingdoms." How can I say it, teacher, this system is not just a game, but also has elements of management and combat...... Although in general it is flat and simple. The comprehensive and open game mode will be the general trend of the development of the international game industry in the future. I envisioned it as a game where simulation and storytelling coexisted. Teacher, you think, there are so many charming characters in the Three Kingdoms, and there are many games with various related themes on the market, but it is rare to have a business cultivation type, right? But in fact, there are certain similarities between strategy and business development, and the difference is only in whether it is competitive or casual...... Think about it, you opened a restaurant in Luoyang, or worked in a restaurant in Luoyang, and then the restaurant sometimes had celebrities from the Three Kingdoms visit, and from it led to a kaleidoscopic story - from the quiet to see the movement, from the firewood, rice, oil and salt to watch the general trend of the world, teacher, don't you think it is very refreshing to be hidden in the city? β
After listening to this, Du Sitong thought about it and said, "It seems to be really interesting." β
Lin Shu said, "Right? So next, I'm going to trouble the teacher about the script, and I'll be in charge of counting jΓΉ and publicity. β
Du Sitong paused for a moment, then agreed, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll play with you." But she thought for a moment, and then said, "Just the two of us...... Will there be too few people? β
Lin Shu said, "Can the teacher find someone else?" β
"......" Du Sitong sighed and said, "If it was in Binhai City, I could still find a few friends to help out, but there is really no one to find now." I'm also unfamiliar here. β
When Lin Shu heard her say this, he was immediately relieved. He didn't really want to find anyone else. Du Sitong himself has a soft and gentle personality and is easy to speak, so even if Lin Shu is younger, Du Sitong does not despise him because of this, and even doesn't care about being dominated by him. Who is the next person, who knows if the main control of the entire project can remain in Lin Shu's hands.
He asked like that, in fact, he was just afraid that rejecting Du Sitong directly would arouse the disgust of the other party, and the current situation couldn't be better.
So he said cheerfully, "No, no, no." When you make money, you can still share less money with less people, teacher, don't you say? β
Du Sitong suddenly laughed: "Are you so sure you can make money?" β
Lin Shu is naturally confident, without this confidence, how could he be willing to spend so much effort to make such a game. But he didn't try to persuade Du Sitong at this time, but deliberately made a somewhat childish appearance and said to the other party: "Since you have already started to do it, you should have confidence in yourself, right?" You can't do anything without faith. β
Du Sitong smiled.
So in the days that followed, the two began to devote all their free time to the game. In order to write the plot, Du Sitong deliberately bought a set of Three Kingdoms, but planned the plot very carefully.
After Lin Shu looked at some of her work results, she found that Du Sitong's writing skills were indeed very deep, and she immediately put her mind at ease, and then put most of her efforts into counting jΓΉ planning, and a small part of her time was spent on promoting the games that had not yet been released.
He has posted on some of the major original game websites, and from time to time he has put some introductions to the game interface or system functions to promote it.
Lin Shu didn't put too much effort into hyping up the game - first, he really didn't have the time or budget, and second, he felt that the quality of the engine was excellent, and proper publicity was enough, but he didn't need to put too much effort into it.
In fact, during the whole work process, Du Sitong was much busier than Lin Shu. The learning of primary school students is like that, it may be a little difficult for real children, but for Lin Shu, it is quite a whole day off. Just remember to hide a little and not be too arrogant, he is busy with his own things without pressure at all.
On the contrary, Du Sitong, no matter how much time she has, she still has a lot of homework to catch up, and she still has to watch a group of bear children anytime and anywhere, at the end of the day, she is simply exhausted, but even so, she herself is interested in Lin Shu's games, so no matter how busy she is, she still seizes the opportunity to start designing the plot as soon as she has time.
She instinctively felt that this was the closest job she could get into her "dream" at the moment, different from the "living" job of being a teacher.
Even if it is just a child's ambition, even if the result is not as good as Lin Shu's imagination, but on the basis of Lin Shu's design, this is also a platform for her to show her ability.
Du Sitong was so busy that he basically forgot most of the depression and loneliness of interning alone in an unfamiliar city. It wasn't until someone called that she realized her current status.
