Chapter 240: Both Companies Encounter Technical Difficulties

Everyone nodded one after another, arresting traitors and removing traitors, and many people can't tolerate this kind of person in their eyes.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Yongping, the rest of you can rest these days during the Spring Festival, but I won't rest, I will think about how to have a face-to-face collision with Konami, kill you to death, this is the most important thing, and it is also the thing I am most interested in!" ”

This is the most important thing for Yang Yun, and it is also the most important thing for Nintendo and Konami.

With the support of Nintendo's funds and manpower, Konami, which does not have to celebrate the Spring Festival, quietly launched the project "Heartbeat Memories" on the 26th day of the lunar month in China.

This news quickly reached Yang Yun's ears through special channels, and he had the move to talk to the three of them, and decided to take out a Longteng version of "Heartbeat Memories" during the Spring Festival to confront Konami.

"Look, I'll just say, the big boss with a net worth of more than a billion dollars will not get a break during the Spring Festival. Other employees can visit relatives and friends to congratulate Nafu, but he himself has to work overtime and do the design himself, working hard from the end of the year to the end of the year. Mr. Yang, why don't we two change positions and sit down? Duan Haisheng hahadaxiao, quipped.

Yang Yun had a bitter face: "I might as well work overtime to plan for the Spring Festival, mainly because there is really nowhere to go." You know, I'm a lonely person, my parents are not there, my relatives don't have any, my girlfriend is in Taiwan, and I really don't have any relatives. I spent the Chinese New Year in Taipei last year, so will I go again this year? So who have I become? Door-to-door son-in-law? ”

“hahahaha……”

Everyone was amused, raised their glasses in unison, and walked away again.

This heart-to-heart gathering was a success. made the relationship between Yang Yun and several right-hand men more harmonious, and gave out so many bonuses. After saying so many heart-to-heart words, the only barrier has almost disappeared. Basically, it is transformed into the cohesion of the company, and this is how the hearts and minds of the people are obtained.

During the Spring Festival, Yang Yun did not stay in the company, but ran to a small city at the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone, looking for the area that had been hidden in his memory but did not dare to touch.

Not surprisingly, time has passed, and things are not people.

There is no Yang Yun or Yang Dehua on this shijie. Ma Fengjiao, the three neighbors who have been in memory for more than ten years have also become strangers, and Yang Yun is destined to be impossible to coincide with his future self.

After letting go of all the baggage of his mind, he simply came to Gulangyu Island, Xiamen, rented a small room with the door facing the sea, spent seven days of leisurely life quietly, and sorted out a copy of his carefully planned Longteng version of "Heartbeat Memories".

In the same type of game, Yang Yun has done a lot of hard things before, and this time he is fighting with Konami. He's scrappy!

……

……

Last month, Keimasa received a check for 100 million yen from Yamauchi Pu, and was filled with emotion: "Please reply to President Yamauchi for me, we Konami will definitely live up to the trust!" ”

Konami's "Heartbeat Memories" project was established for more than a week, and the four members of the copywriting team worked overtime. In the form of instant production, after designing the scene of the first act according to the timeline. The program team began to write the logic code, and then the copywriting team prepared the next scene.

The game progresses slowly. This is where the love game differs from the side-scrolling arcade card game.

The side-scrolling level has a timeline that spawns enemies at the spawn point at the right time. Time moves forward after the fight, and at the next trigger point, a fixed batch of enemies will appear.

Because of its openness, love games pay great attention to antecedents and consequences, and all consequences are determined by the development of antecedents.

For example, Shiori Fujisaki has the highest requirements for the protagonist, and it is impossible for her to look at a boy of an average level, so it is better for players to focus on their grades in the first school year, and it is better to chase after them in the second year, otherwise it will be a complete waste of time if they don't get her favor.

In addition, the appearance of 12 supporting actresses makes it particularly difficult for players to pursue Shiori Fujisaki.

In the process of pursuing Fujisaki Shiori, in order to improve a certain attribute, players need to participate in certain clubs to improve their physical strength, perseverance, sports and other attributes, but there will be other girls in the club, which will easily reduce Fujisaki Shiori's favor for the protagonist.

It's the same with the school incident.,There are other girls who want to invite the protagonist home from school together.,If you agree.,It's true to improve the girl's favorability.,But it will increase the sadness of everyone else.,At this time, it's up to the player to make a trade-off.,It's up to the player to decide after weighing the pros and cons.。

It's because there are so many uncertainties like these that game design is slow.

Last month, Jingzheng came to the R&D department and found that the team members had a headache and argued.

"Hirosaki, what's going on?" Last month, Jingzheng had a bad feeling in his heart.

Project leader Hirosaki Hashi held a small blackboard and explained: "Some of us believe that all characters should be global variables, parallel to the timeline, and others think that only the male and female protagonists need to do this. ”

Shang Yuejing frowned: "It's easy to understand." ”

Hirosaki draws two parallel lines and introduces: "All the characters are set as global variables, that is, the whole game is seen from the perspective of God, one timeline and the other is tied to all the characters. When programming, we only need to control the trigger points on the timeline, such as arranging for the protagonist and Shiori Fujisaki to leave school together on March 1, then we only need to do two things, one is Shiori Fujisaki's favorability +1, and the remaining 12 people have a favorability of -1, and we only need to call 13 functions. ”

Then draw a timeline on another piece of paper, with two small circles representing the hero and heroine, strung on the timeline, and then draw 12 small triangles, introducing: "The other, only the protagonist is set as a global variable." For example, after school on March 1st, according to the story script, there will be a supporting actress coming to ask the protagonist on March 2nd, we need to first decide who should appear according to the favorability of the protagonist and Shiori Fujisaki in the global variable, and after excluding the first 10 supporting roles, we found that the 11th should come forward, so we arranged for her to appear, and after the player decided, change all the attributes and values of the protagonist, and the timeline continued to scroll. ”

Move with a triangle and draw 12 lines to indicate that on the day of March 2nd, the last moon view was immediately understood, and these are two programming ideas.

First, each supporting character is an independent individual, with its own attributes, which are always treated as variables and stored in memory.

The advantage of this design is that it is fast to read and write, and it is easy to write code, but the disadvantage is that after the game runs for a little longer, there is a lot of redundant data, and the memory and CPU are occupied, and the game will run very slowly.

Second, each supporting character is just a simple set of stats that only appears when she needs to appear, but the protagonist is an all-encompassing attribute, and all the interpersonal data is recorded on the protagonist.

The advantage of this design is that every time the supporting actress appears, the model function can be called, and when she disappears, after there is no role for her, her space is released, and the attributes of the protagonist are modified, the disadvantage is that the protagonist is too complex, and there are quite a lot of judgment statements at each trigger point, and the programmer has to write until it crashes.

"Other games of the same type, which kind of jishu do they use?" Kamitsuki asked.

Hirosaki Bridge put down the pen and paper, frowned: "We can only find conclusions from some adult games, but it's a pity that most of the adult games are works on the PC side, and they use the second one more, after all, the CPU and memory of the PC are not all used for game running, and more often than not, they are still on the operating system and various control instructions, and they must reduce the amount of computing as much as possible." ”

Shangyue Jingzheng nodded: "I know, the problem on jishu, I will make a decision as soon as possible, you show me the plot planning book first." ”

This scene also appeared in the project team of Longteng Company.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the employees who returned to China to visit their relatives returned to overseas with dedication, and Fengyun Game Software Company dispatched elite soldiers, 6 copywriters, 6 artists, 7 programmers, plus Yang Yun personally sat in charge, and almost doubled Konami's manpower investment.

Yang Yun's copywriting is based on the original Konami "Heartbeat Memories" as a template, and the first thing to determine is the parameter system, which is the standard that created a love development game, and almost all similar games in later generations are basically imitations, or adjustments, increases, and very few are completely overturned and rebuilt.

This parameter system is divided into a "numeric system" and a "dating system".

The value is the digitization of the male protagonist's strength, and if it does not reach the minimum amount required by a certain girl, it means that the player is a little short of the girl's perfect expectations in terms of XX.

Physical strength is the most important attribute, dating, part-time jobs will reduce physical strength, you can supplement it by sleeping, buying drinks in the store and other methods, otherwise you can't do anything all day long, physical strength is too low and easy to get sick, so what else to date?

Liberal arts, science can be summarized as learning ability, good grades will be favored by girls, this is a very understandable setting, and the appearance of some supporting actresses, there must be a liberal arts data of 100 points, or science data of 80 points and other conditions.

For example, dating a few girls who are good at playing musical instruments can increase favorability, and participating in music clubs can increase the growth rate of art values, and sports have a similar effect.

Popularity, appearance, perseverance, these are all reflections of the image and character of the protagonist, not only to be handsome on the outside, but also to have inner beauty, to care about girls, and to have a tenacious spirit, to be able to fight and fight, but also to have perseverance, nerves to be big and rough, not so sentimental glass heart, will not get neurasthenia.

After Yang Yun announced these system parameters, Ma Liang exclaimed: "Mr. Yang, this is ...... What are the system parameters of the Japanese version? ”

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Yang Yun laughed.

"There's a problem!" Ma Liang was a little excited: "Weishenme is almost completely different from the domestic version I saw years ago?" (To be continued......)
