Chapter 220: Angry Birds
The next day, Lin Xiao slept lazily without him, because of the excessive physical exertion last night.
When I woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and Qiao Nier had already gone to school, and after Lin laughed and washed up, she went downstairs to have some breakfast, and called Ermaozi.
"Ermaozi, did Yang Xiaojin call you?" Lin Xiao waited for the phone to be connected and asked,
Ermaozi's voice sounded a little hoarse, and he seemed to be very tired: "I called, I said that I booked a ticket today, and I can arrive tomorrow." ”
"Help me take care of it, this little girl is very slippery in computer programming, cultivate it, she is a talent." Lin smiled and said, "By the way, why is your voice hoarse?" It sounds like there's no rest.、"
Ermaozi sighed and said: "Don't mention it, I haven't had a good rest in the past few days, everyone is working overtime, and the tiredness is not light." ”
"What's going on?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Isn't it a fuss about developing a new game?" Ermaozi sighed: "There will be a game exhibition after a while, about three months later, I will develop a game to participate, if the effect is good, the company will be good, the time is very tight, I think it is worth fighting." ”
"What type of game do you want to do?" Lin Xiao asked.
Ermaozi said with a smile: "Let's make a casual puzzle game, it's not enough time to do other things, and our game engine is not good, and the quality of the games we make is not high." Speaking of this, Ermaozi was stunned and scolded with a smile: "What are you worrying about this? You don't understand games. ”
"Nonsense!" Lin Xiao said angrily: "I'm the majority shareholder of the company, can I not care?" I have a question, you said you want to make a casual puzzle game, I don't know what you think? Do you have a specific idea? ”
Ermaozi said: "It's a shooting game in the mode of breaking through, this kind of game is difficult to innovate, so it's just changed in the character shape and picture, the success rate is not high, and you can only resign yourself to fate." ”
Lin Xiao groaned for a moment and said, "Ermaozi." I have an idea, I don't know if it will work out. ”
"Oh?" Ermaozi became interested, and he still admired Lin Xiao's brain hole and wrote so many books. There is no duplicate plot, maybe Lin Xiao really has a good idea, and hurriedly said: "Tell me about it." ”
Lin Xiao sat down on the bench below the community, leaned back on the chair, and said, "I mean." Do you have to use someone to shoot with a gun? In fact, the truth is the same truth, why can't you replace people with animals, why can't you replace guns with something else? ”
Ermaozi asked suspiciously: "How to change?" ”
Lin smiled: "I'll tell you what I think, you can see how it goes." ”
Ermaozi nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to what you say." ”
"First of all, games generally have a game background, explain something, let's get one too, isn't it a shooting game? Let's replace people with birds, all kinds of birds. The shape is cute, and the gun is replaced with a slingshot, so it's okay, and the enemy can also be replaced with a pig, so that the identities of the positive and negative factions are clear, and you can see it at a glance, and it adds a lot of fun. Lin smiled and talked eloquently.
When Ermaozi heard Lin Xiao say this, his spirit immediately became full, and he felt that Lin Xiao's idea was very good. Although Lin Xiao only said a rough idea, he already had a little inspiration in his mind, and he thought that it was indeed feasible to think about it carefully.
"What about the background?" Ermaozi asked.
"For example, you can set it up like this. The eggs laid by the birds are stolen by the evil piglets, and the birds are angry and decide to destroy the piglets' nest and retrieve their eggs, and then start using the slingshot as a weapon and start breaking through the level. Lin smiled: "What do you think?" ”
Ermaozi thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes." But it feels like some details are missing, such as how the bird holds the slingshot? How to fight? ”
Lin smiled and said, "Who told you that the bird has to take a slingshot?" The huge slingshot is inserted in the ground, the bird itself is a bullet, different kinds of birds have different effects, for example, the red bird is the most ordinary bullet, directly bombarding the target, after the blue bird is launched, it can be divided into three attack targets in mid-air, the yellow bird can accelerate the attack, and the black bird can be turned into a bomb, which will produce a certain degree of explosion after hitting the target, etc., I say this, can you understand something? ”
Lin Xiao explained, but he felt that it was a little abstract and not specific enough, and he was a little worried that Ermaozi would not understand.
However, he underestimated Ermaozi a little, Ermaozi has been in the game industry for several years, and he is a professional, so when Lin Xiao said this, he understood at once.
"I see, it's a fixed type of shooter, you don't need characters to run around, a scene is a level, right?" Ermaozi's voice trembled a little, he now felt that Lin Xiao's idea was too good, making him feel that his eyes were suddenly bright, and the fatigue of his whole body disappeared in an instant.
"Yes, that's right." Lin Xiao nodded.
"And the birds, the bullets, have different powers, just like the different bullets in a normal shooter, and the player is the controller, right? That's a new idea! Xiaolinzi, you are very hanging! Ermaozi said excitedly.
"Well, you think that's the end of it? Miss by a mile! Lin smiled and said: "The matter of the little bird will be put aside, let's talk about the setting of the pig, first of all, the pig as a villain, is the target of destruction, they must have their own defense, there is no defense only attack, it is not exciting, such as using wood, or slate, or even steel to defend, only by breaking the defense, and knocking the pig out, can the victory of the birds be counted, not only that, but also according to the number of bullets used, the time to pass the level to evaluate the score, or star rating, convenient for player points ranking. ”
Ermaozi now understands that wood, slate, and steel are the difficulty of the game levels, from simple to easy, and the defense of these things is different, and they can also be used together.
Lin Xiao continued: "The nature of the game is casual puzzle, so the level should gradually become more difficult, at the beginning there are more bullets, low defense, and slowly fewer bullets, strong defense, tricky design angles, etc., to extend, can make the game more interesting." ”
"But, Xiao Linzi, you can't get many levels if you go on like this, and it's easy to get tired." Ermaozi raised his own questions.
"This problem is easy to solve, you can exit some bonus levels, there are special edition levels, you can also add challenge modes and the like, such as the competition between players, the same level to see who gets more points, etc., and in the process of playing, players will also give feedback, and then add levels according to the player's feedback, so this game will be done in the future, and the levels can be designed a lot, almost close to infinity." Lin Xiao said more and more enjoyable: "And this game is currently being played on the computer for the time being, and it can also be played on the mobile phone in the future, which is very convenient, and it is a good thing to pass the time. ”
There are not hundreds of mobile games on the planet in this world, there are only a few simple ones, and the interest is also very low, if you can develop this market, the benefits will be extremely huge! However, the mobile phone market is not so high-end now, maybe in a year or two, it will be more suitable for mobile games.
"You can also increase the store, buy bullets and other props, which can increase income, many players will care about this point ranking, so the income of this piece should be considerable, in addition, you can also withdraw from peripheral goods, after the game is popular, the profit of the periphery is also extremely huge, these can be used as the object of our development." The more Lin Xiao spoke, the smoother he became, as if he was drawing a grand blueprint for Ermaozi.
But for Ermaozi, he seems to have seen the blueprint that Lin Xiao described to him, he is now a little dumbfounded, his brain is not very good, Lin Xiao from the beginning of the change of mode to now, there is almost no pause, said so in one go, and it is quite a wonderful idea and setting, if you follow what Lin Xiao said, there is almost no need to change, only a detailed planning plan is needed.
Ermaozi even suspected that Lin Xiao, this kid, was really not born in games?
The crux of the problem is that Lin Xiao's plan has no loopholes at all, it is simple to implement, and as Lin Xiao himself said, the market prospect is too broad! The potential is limitless!
"Well, I get the most out of it, but can you give me a detailed piece of information? I also have a number, I just heard you say so much, probably I understand the routine, but seeing that you think so thoroughly, I think it's better for you to make a plan. "Ermaozi said,
"Actually, it's a very simple game.,It's just that you think it's complicated.,Plan or something.,I'm not going to do it.,I'll modify it when you're done.,I don't like to do this the most.,And what's the loophole.,You're a professional.,You can also modify it in time.,After you're done.,I'll take a look.,If there's anything wrong.,I'll modify it for you.。 Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"You want to be lazy!" Ermaozi said angrily: "This company is not yours? ”
"The company is yours too." Lin Xiao played the scoundrel to the end.
"Cheng, I'll go back and make a plan and send it to you, you can take a look at it then, I really can't do anything about you." Ermaozi finally compromised.
Time is very tight, he decided to work overtime today to get it out, and then send it to Lin Xiao in the evening, and then seize the time to develop.
According to what Lin Xiao said, the development is not too difficult, and the time is short, so it is completely possible to finish all the work before the game show and participate in the game show in time.
"By the way, what's the name of this game?" Ermaozi just remembered that he had been talking about this for a long time, and he hadn't named the game yet.
"Let's call it 'Angry Birds.'" Lin Xiao replied with a smile. (To be continued.) )
