Chapter 6 Will the Game Be Fun? It smells so good!
Two weeks later, inside a science and technology industrial park in Jiang City.
In the office of the 'Dream Chaser' outsourcing company, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang sat in front of the computer, looking at the game that had been completed.
Two weeks to complete the development of an indie game of this scale is simply incredible in the world in Yang Chen's dream memory.
However, in reality, the game industry chain is extremely mature, and there are also technological innovations.
For example, in the world in the dream memory, the values in the game or something, you also need numerical planning to calculate the power function by yourself, and at the same time, you also need to master the programming code, and be able to write your own auxiliary tools such as combat simulators and equipment drop simulators.
However, in the engine provided by the official here, there is already a big data template, and the work that needs to be done for numerical planning is too convenient.
Basically, you know probability, statistics, discrete, MATLAB and Fortran, and you have a little knowledge of economics, even if you have a good game numerical planner.
Of course, although it is much more convenient, but for the numerical planning of this small game, if there is no template, let Yang Chen do it alone, and ensure that there are no big loopholes in the later stage, it will probably take a month and a half to complete.
But with the ready-made template, with the numerical planning tools provided by the official, Yang Chen only spent four or five days, and most of the time was wasted on numerical statistics.
At the door of the office, occasionally a dream-chasing staff passed by, looking at the office with the door closed, and discussing in a low voice.
"That game maker has money, spend so much money to make a pixel art game."
"It should be a mine at home, so let's play casually."
"Not necessarily, what if the other party's game is a big hit? I have seen the GDD provided by Boss Chu, and I feel that it is very awesome, it should not be a novice, the other party should have a very mature planning plan, and we almost do it stupidly in many places, and we don't need to use our brains. ”
"What's the use of that? It's not like I've never seen it before, and it's a pixel-art game, who will play it? The retro picture is still stuck in the last century, right? ”
"Actually, when I was doing the post-BUG test, I felt okay after playing for a while."
"Come on, your aesthetics, you also said it was okay last time what pig factory goose factory mobile game, what is the result? Now the pig factories have been bankrupt and closed down for more than a year, and the goose factory has now changed from a mobile game factory to a farm to sell geese. ”
"It's just,It feels like most of you have to kneel.,And add game randomness.,It's not like there haven't been similar games before.,As soon as you enter the door at the beginning, you encounter a monster that can't be beaten.,There's probably nothing in the treasure chest after all the hard work.,This kind of gamer will like it? When you can't beat it, you don't have a place to look at the strategy. ”
In the office, Yang Chen used a mouse and keyboard to play games.
In terms of the operation of the game, Yang Chen did not follow the setting of simply using the letter keyboard WSAD to move and ↑↓ ←→ attack in his memory, but chose to have the keyboard again, and also gave the player the room to choose to use the mouse to click and shoot.
The keyboard is easy to use, or the mouse is easy to use, this is the question of the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise, some people like the combination of the keyboard and the mouse, and some people like the pure keyboard.
The easiest way to do this is to give players two ways to do it, and let them choose for themselves.
"It's not bad, the painting style is more in line with the domestic aesthetics, and at the same time, it can be regarded as maintaining the original absurd style." In the boss room of the first level, a group of monsters randomly refreshed to kill Yang Chen nodded very satisfied.
As for the first level of the boss room, he was killed by a monster, how big is this?
Game makers must be game masters, right?
You have to know that many game makers are handicap patients.
In the history of game development, although the various cheats at the beginning were said to be used for game testing, maybe the game developer with a handicapped hand deliberately made it so that he could clear the level?
"Can this game really succeed?" Wang Yaliang, who was sitting next to Yang Chen, said uncertainly.
She doesn't actually know much about games, although the person she likes is in the game industry, and she went to learn about him in order to pursue him.
But if she's not interested, she's not interested, and what she usually plays most is the game of the entertainment theme on her mobile phone.
As for her boyfriend's pixel game called 'The Binding of Isaac', from her point of view, she didn't think it would be very fun.
This picture is old-fashioned pixel art, although it is said to be a high-definition resolution model.
But after the in-game painting style kills the monster, it is directly torn apart, plus a pool of blood like a big puddle of ketchup, it looks a little oozing.
The sound and the monster modeling, although not very ugly, have absolutely nothing to do with good looks.
Anyway, she's not funny at all.
"Yes!"
Yang Chen looked at Wang Yaliang and said.
Looking at the other party's face, Yang Chen's expression was very serious.
This sentence is said to the beautiful woman in front of you, and it is also said to yourself.
Although this game has proved this game in the world in the dream world, this is a different world, and as a game maker, Yang Chen feels that this game will be very popular.
But who can say for sure this unpredictable market and the tastes of players?
…………
Two days later, in the rental house in Jiang City, it was three o'clock in the middle of the night.
In the room where the curtains were tightened, Wang Yaliang was not sleepy, his eyes staring at the game screen on the computer in front of him.
This is the full game of The Binding of Isaac.
After registering with the official game union and submitting it for review as an independent gamer, Wang Yaliang has been playing for two days in a row.
From the beginning, it didn't feel like it was fun, but she just tried it because it was a game made by her own man, but now she's completely obsessed.
Also from the very beginning of the game, Wang Yaliang also from the beginning, 'Isaac is so pitiful, is there any moral to this story?' How did you come up with such a dark story! ’
The success became, 'Ah, why isn't it a treasure chest room, I want new items!' Gambling room? I like it! Either you have a lot of money or you have nothing! ’
"Ahh Why haven't I come across that biubiubiu prop yet.,The ideal combination can't be put together! ”
Yang Chen, who was awakened by sleeping on the bed, looked at it expressionlessly, and Wang Yaliang, who was half-squatting on the chair, had such an odious idea for the first time that the game was so hateful.
It's midnight now, and the keyboard you're using is still blue!
"Hurry up and go to bed, it's past three o'clock." Yang Chen picked up the mobile phone next to him and glanced at the time, and then said to Wang Yaliang.
Turning his head to look at Yang Chen, who sat up helplessly, Wang Yaliang was a little embarrassed: "Woke you up?" Or do you want to play a two-player game together? ”
Pushing the laptop next to him, Wang Yaliang blinked and looked at Yang Chen.
In the plan, this "The Combination of Isaac" Yang Chen is going to add the online function, but at present, only the LAN function is online, because the network connection needs a server for data exchange, and there is no preparation at all.
To put it bluntly, that is, wood is rich.
"Online? I'd better sleep, with you can only be robbed of powerful props, and robbed of blood bags. Yang Chen, who had had a profound experience, thought of something and lay down decisively.
"Ahh Don't sleep when you wake up, play with me! Looking at Yang Chen, who was lying down and pretending to be dead, Wang Yaliang got off the chair unhappily and threw himself on Yang Chen's body.
