Chapter 167: Renderings
If you want to attract girls, you don't necessarily have to make the whole game screen cute, you can only focus on depicting the appearance of this side of the city wall, and make the city wall and arrow tower beautiful. The outside of the city wall is gray, the ground is wasteland, and the sky is dark clouds, which is used to set off the beauty inside the city wall.
It's a pity that because the prequel mini-game only shows a quarter of it, the director doesn't look as shocking as Xia Ci wants to express.
Even so, the table is good enough for mini-games. With the blue sky and city on the left, the dark clouds and wasteland on the right, the player knows at a glance that on the left is the beautiful and righteous side, and on the right is the chaotic and evil enemy.
With just one background, you can make both friend and foe face, and make players take it for granted that Gaita shoots orcs. You know, what metaphors and the stickiness generated by developing gameplay can only be gradually formed after players play for a certain period of time. No matter how much thought you put into it, you can't stand those who enter the game, look at it twice and leave.
And now as soon as you enter the game, you will immediately and intuitively present both the enemy and the enemy. Let people see the danger of the shape at a glance, judge the city of Chu as their own side, and judge the orcs as the enemy, and they can find their position in the game in an instant, and then get started with this little game. Do you need a reason to protect a Chinese-style city with blue skies and white clouds? Does Gaita need a reason to defend against the orcs who have emerged from the wicked lands?
Wang lives up to his belief that just the picture given by Xia Ci can definitely hold many people.
But he was a little distressed, this should be what Xia Ci used to look like, right? Surrounded by dark clouds, she firmly believes that she is illuminated by the sun. The king asked, "Is this what you are like fighting against the unspeakable evil?" ”
"yes." Xia Ci looked very proud. That's the battle she had to go through every day until March of this year. She was besieged by unspeakable evil, and the Supreme Royal Family was crumbling, but she managed to summon the Guardian Spirit. The guardian spirit divided five by two, and all the unspeakable evils were repulsed.
Wang Bucheng didn't know how powerful he was in Porcelain's heart, otherwise he would have to die proudly. In order to try to replicate the castle that Xia Ci thought was beautiful, he carefully inquired about every detail.
What the porcelain said was all the fantasy in her mind, and Wang Bu listened to it differently. However, most of them are castle interiors and defense towers, and there are no ideas for orcs.
Xia Ci doesn't have the concept of orcs, and he doesn't know how to change it. And the things she knew about "Ze Demon" and "Giant Voice Demon", Wang Buyi couldn't put them in the prequel mini-game.
Wang Buyi listened to it, and couldn't help but think, when she is free, let's make an exclusive game for her. Make a game like Alice's Crazy Story.
Wang Buyi understood Xia Ci's thoughts, and he couldn't be excited: "Porcelain, thank you." ”
Whether it is the comparison between friends and enemies, or the idea of sprouting defense towers, Wang Buyi is very inspired. And I believe that with the help of Xia Ci, this prequel game will definitely become extremely moving on the screen.
Xia Ci is also happy to be able to help the guardian spirit. After summoning the Guardian Spirit, she couldn't even help the Guardian Spirit, which made her feel a little sad. Don't be sad now, she's helped the Guardians. Looking at the appearance of the guardian spirit, it must have helped a lot.
Unspeakable evil is about to befall you, and if you can make a game through the guò guardian spirit, so that more people can recall the supreme royal family, it will kill two birds with one stone.
Xia Ci smiled and ran back to the room to catch up with homework. Because of her painting, she has to go to bed late today to finish her homework. Students in the third year of junior high school have a lot of homework.
Wang Bucheng went to boil milk for her, and felt sorry for Xia Ci's late sleep. Today, Porcelain Porcelain can help him so much, which really makes Wang live up to the surprise and loves porcelain even more.
……
When Wang Buyi went to the company again, he first asked Zhou Yi to transfer the best artist to make Xia Ci's idea.
A total of three artists joined in, plus five people from the tower defense studio, Wang Buyi gathered them into one office and said: "We can do things quickly, with the strength of many people, and strive to make a new original painting in the morning." ”
Eight people looked at the things painted by Xia Porcelain in a daze. What is this? Doodle of the bear child?
An artist who was doing machine-gun shooting and killing special effects, didn't know that Wang Bucheng was going to do a prequel mini-game, and asked: "Great god, who is this for?" ”
Wang said: "This is the original draft of the new game. The main points are written on it, and you follow the idea of the draft, and imagine the game live image as the original painting. Then the team of mini-games will make the game. ”
"I'll see." The artist took the draft suspiciously, and couldn't help but feel funny. Manuscript drawing is not unusual, many artists will draw a pattern by hand, and then realize it on the computer, but the manuscript can be drawn like this, only at the level of elementary school students.
But the great gods want to do it, and the artists don't have much to say. Compare the draft and see what Wang has written.
Wang Bubu wrote a lot of points on the draft, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, Xia Porcelain's way of thinking is completely different from Wang Buful, Wang Bubu is afraid that he will forget jì, so each element of Xia Ci to express the effect of xiàn, the starting point of consideration, all recorded.
The three artists who were temporarily transferred have not yet reacted, and the five people in the tower defense studio have already seen it. They didn't understand the metaphor of the main creator, but they were all shocked by the picture in Xia Ci's mind, and they exclaimed: "Great god, who did this?" It's so clever to use color contrast to express friend and foe. ”
Another employee said, "The towers are also cute, much better looking than the wooden shelves we made." ”
They never thought that the mini-game should be so well-made, it seems that the great god is really going to run this mini-game well!
The artists who were transferred in compared the text saw a little taste. I have to make up for a long time before I feel good, the color contrast is bright, and the elements are very clear. But what does a concept picture do when making a game? They couldn't help but ask, "Okami, what kind of game is this?" ”
"Tower defense mini-game." Wang said. Looking at the expressions of shock or approval of the employees, Wang was very satisfied. This is Xia Porcelain's work, which can be recognized by the staff, and Wang Buyi feels that there is a very subtle feeling of happiness.
"Mini-games?" The artists who were brought in looked at each other.
Wang Bufu laughed: "It's a small game, but it's actually just a small size and few stories." However, the picture quality must be up to the level of mainstream 2D games, and there are also a lot of ways to play in it. The fun course is not inferior to some big games. It also expands into a new player base. After this little game was launched, it may be so popular that I can't even think of it. ”
The artists were wide-eyed. Who hasn't played a mini-game, but it's all the kind of square ball, a simple copy of the games of the last century console platform. Who has ever played this little game that Wang Bucheng said? They have a lot of trust in Wang and feel that it is fresh, and when the little game comes out, they will definitely try to play.
Eight people made the original drawing based on the same draft, and the speed was very fast. The main reason is that the annotations written by Wang Bufu are very detailed, they understand the effect of each element in the draft, and they also understand the original design points from the source, and the drawing is more wonderful.
At noon, they really finished the original painting and printed it out for Wang Buhou.
This time, in addition to the original drawings of orcs, defense towers, and city walls, there are also real-life renderings of the game.
Wang Bubu first looked at the real renderings. This is the most intuitive, the prequel mini-game has only one scene, and you can see the game at a glance with a single rendering.
Since Wang Buyi once mentioned "similar to "Xuanyuan Sword 3", the pictures made by the employees are also moving closer to that direction. The colors are very vivid and the contrast is pronounced.
On the left half is the city wall of the Chu State, the sky is blue, and there are ten bow and arrow towers wearing hats on the city wall. The land on the right half was desolate and blood-colored, and many orcs with large maces were staring at the city walls.
Wang Bu always couldn't control his eyes, and kept looking at the closed city gates, the mushroom-like arrow towers, and the big sticks. The metaphor that the creator said is really annoying.
The artists were very excited, standing in front of Wang Buying, and kept looking at the real-life renderings. The mini-game has such a picture, they must play it.
"What a bunch of happy people." Wang sighed and decided to forget the Trinity from his head. He added, "Adjust it again." Divide this rendering into three parts by length, with the orcs making up two-thirds. Only one-third of the city wall is on this side. ”
In this way, it seems that it is not half and half of good and half of evil as it is now. Instead, the evil will be overpowered, the bloody sky accounts for two-thirds, and the blue sky accounts for one-third, and suddenly it looks as if the city wall is about to be breached, and a sense of urgency and crisis comes out.
"Okay." The artists agreed. adjusted the proportion, and after rendering, it was given to Wang Buying.
Wang Bubu was very satisfied with the picture this time. Go downstairs and find the creator to see.
The main creator didn't expect that only one day later, Wang Bucheng made a new rendering. The main creator and Wang are not worthy of virtue, and their eyes first looked at the big stick city gate, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, the city gate is very well designed." There are also defense towers, which have become much more beautiful and mushroom-shaped, and when it comes to archery, the hint is even more obvious. ”
Wang Bubu couldn't stand it at all, and was said by the main creator to be like this, and when it was made, Wang Bubu didn't want to play. The Trinity, Freud and whatever, it's all in it, you don't need to ask. But Wang Bu Bu still has to consult with the main creator about whether the renderings can bring sensory impact to players.
"Absolutely." The main creator looked at the renderings and wanted to play the game, saying: "Use colors to hint at friend and foe, and use Chinese-style city walls, blue sky and white clouds to establish a psychological connection with players, so that they can enter the game and immediately substitute for the defensive side." Is this what you came up with? What a great idea! ”
Wang didn't laugh but didn't answer, Xia Ci was praised, and he was happier than he was patted on the back.
