The design of weapons in the game is not decided by a pat on the head, of course, there are things in game design that are decided by a pat on the head, but there are not many of them. In most cases, designers need to be clear about their own requirements, as Ye Shenxi told students at Shu University before, these are design expectations.

Design expectations are not necessarily exponential, what kind of effect they want to achieve, what kind of scenarios different weapons are suitable for, what types of players are suitable for, what preferences are met for them, and what tactical significance can be developed and selected by players, designers must at least have a rough expectation in mind.

The number of types of weapons is too small, players are easy to get tired, the combinations and tactical options that can be matched are very limited, and too many will have duplicate functions.

And in "Paradise Lost", RPG is one of the ultimate weapons in street fighting, siege battles, and small space battles. But players should remember not to use it in indoor battles, they will regret it.

Ye Shenxi's one requirement for Henggong's project is to be as realistic as possible, but a game is a game after all, and it can't be exactly the same as reality. The RPG in "Paradise Lost" is indeed powerful, but it also has many limitations, such as the first is that you can't equip any sights, you can only use machine sights, which is commonly known as three points and one line, and because of the high value configuration of aiming deviation, the aiming effect is limited.

In reality, the initial speed of about 300 m/s is nerfed to 80 in the game, making it the slowest ranged attack weapon in the game, slower than the 100 m/s of the Recurve Bow. And this is only the initial speed, every 50 meters will be reduced to a certain extent, if the player is lucky, you can even see the rocket dragging a cigarette past you, which is quite a good feeling.

By the way, this cigarette ...... It really is a smoke that also makes it easy for the enemy to identify which coordinates the attacker is coming from.

Others include effective range, more than 300 meters without hitting any target will self-detonate, hit kill radius reduction, power reduction, reload interval, the weight of the weapon causes the gunman to move faster, even the ammunition is very heavy, etc., these are all modifications made for the sake of game balance, these also limit the application of RPG scenarios, if it is in a relatively open place in the field, it can basically be used to listen to the sound, and it is not bad to blow up stationary vehicles to see the fireworks.

Xia Qingyu couldn't bear it at the moment, and wanted to experience the power of rockets.

Shan Jie hadn't seen anyone at this time, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is it, where are the people?" ”

Ye Shenxi said: "You have two at one o'clock, and two at three o'clock." ”

As far as the eye can see, on the second floor of a two-story villa, about a distance of less than a hundred meters, two heads poke out of the window, not sneaky at all, but blatant. The other two stood at the door of the gas station, hiding behind the fuel dispenser, using the refueling machine as a cover, and also looking naïve...... It is an ideal target for the current Xia herring.

"How many rockets do you have?" Ye Shenxi asked Xia Qingyu.

"Two shots."

"They don't know we have an RPG yet, you just hit the gas station, and you don't have to think about falling at this distance."

"Is the gas station going to explode?"

"What is the gas station called if it doesn't explode...... The goal is big, you hit it casually. ”

Xia Qingyu was also decisive, without saying a word, reloaded, aimed, and then pulled the trigger.

"shiu~~~~" rockets flew out of the barrel mouth, the rolled up tail unfolded, and then dragged a thick smoke, streaked through the air, and flew towards the gas station.

Xia Qingyu's marksmanship is still very good, and the rocket accurately smashed on the tanker.

"Bang! Rumble! ”

The gas station blew up.

The two bodies of flesh did not explode, they turned into two parabolas and flew high and high.

In an instant, the sound was like thunder, and black smoke mixed with fire slowly rose, and everyone around should know that there was a violent explosion here.

"This guy has a lot of recoil." Xia Qingyu obviously felt that his character had a significant regression, and asked, "Is RPG so powerful?" ”

"No, it's the power of a gas station."

"Is the gas station so dangerous, let's not go in the future."

"It should be okay if you don't refuel the whole walk."

"It's so hard."

"If it's a rifle or something, you have time to run away after hearing the gunshot, and you are a rocket, and it just hit, so it was directly detonated. However, this can also make a routine, there are still a lot of gas stations on the map, and if the player wants, they can also wait for the rabbit. ”

"Huh? Did the gas station really blow up? Xia Qingyu looked at the previous good building, but now it has become a ruin, the wall near the side of the fuel dispenser has also completely collapsed into bricks, and the two sides have also broken big holes, which are far away, including the wall behind it, which is more complete, and can still maintain the appearance of the building, and the rooms inside are in the raging flames, and they are completely naked in front of her.

It takes a little time for the flames to go out on their own, which is certainly much shorter than reality, after all, considering that players are still waiting to loot in the past.

Shan Jie looked at this with a proud face, mainly because he heard the voice of the big boss in surprise.

This is the change brought about by the new content of the Newton physics engine in Athena, which is no longer the Neton 1.0 when the Athena 2.0 engine was freshly baked in 08, and the current Newton 2.0 has more breakthroughs, which itself is also prepared for the next generation of Athena 3.0 engine.

This is also a joint research project between the herring fry group and NVIDIA, and the Neton physics engine is currently available as an open free version of the development kit for game developers around the world to download for free to collect relevant use cases and data for joint improvement and optimization. It uses unconventional collision detection, so that all scene and object destruction is rendered instantly, rather than always in advance.

In most other current games that have implemented the effect of object destruction, their method is simply to divide an object into internal chunks in advance, which will be separated when damage is received.

There are even many companies that use a direct replacement solution, you look like a wall, in fact, there are two models standing there at the same time, one intact and one damaged, the damaged one is initially hidden, and when it is damaged, the damaged wall model switches to display, and the intact one is hidden, and you look like you have broken the strong...... In many 3D online games in China, this scheme is used a lot.

Neton, on the other hand, can now increase the complexity of graphics without increasing the burden on memory, greatly reducing the development cost of making interactive destructible objects, making the entire map destructible possible, yes, theoretically 100%.

Including buildings, vehicles, guns and props, rocks on the mountain, game items such as ordinary barrel chests, large trees and grass, and even the terrain, what if you have enough firepower and see a mountain too lazy to climb? Yu Gong left a message under this system and liked it.

Of course, this is still theoretically possible, it does not occupy memory, but it requires CPU calculations, and it also consumes the resources of gaming equipment. Fortunately, there are not many maps in Paradise Lost, and the content of the scene is very limited compared to other games.

There are more problems such as fragment control, I wonder if you are happily driving the car, singing, biu~ An inexplicable explosion fragment flew over and was killed, who is this to reason with,

The same is true at the design level, these things still need to serve the gameplay in the end, Ye Shenxi has no intention of adding terrain destruction in "Paradise Lost", which will make the game "The Origin of Everything" Everyone dig holes and then hide and seek. There are so many old cowards, which makes them simply run around and wait for the drug circle to shrink, and they can't fight.

Xia Qingyu naturally knew about these R&D contents before, but she didn't expect the effect to be so natural.

After the two opponents spiraled into the sky, the other two teammates saw that there was such a murderous aura as RPG, so they turned around and left, decisively and freely. Two people whizzed away on a motorbike and disappeared around the corner.

The fire quickly subsided, and Xia Qingyu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, lick the bag!" ”

She heard this word from Ye Shenxi before, and felt that it was really an image, so she glanced at it and asked, "What about Laifu?" ”

Before the three of them had time to look at the minimap, they heard the roar of the car engine, and Rifle drove the off-road vehicle that he had "exchanged his life for", and one of them also roared towards the gas station, and his movements were so agile that he even crushed the motorcycle duo who had just fled for their lives.

When there was a fight just now, this guy ran into the house and hid well, that is called a two-eared person who doesn't listen to things outside the window, and now as soon as the battle is over, after judging that the danger no longer exists, he licks his bag and runs faster than anyone else.

Xia Qingyu asked, "This game has teammates to hurt, right?" ”

Without waiting for Ye Shenxi to answer, Laifu took the lead in answering: "Yes, it's okay." ”

Xia Qingyu asked again: "You can lick his bag if you kill a teammate, right?" ”

Rifle replied, "Yes, but hurting teammates is something that shouldn't be encouraged." ”

Shan Jie: "Mr. Xia, eliminate gas, eliminate ......"

Ye Shenxi: "Forget it, forget it......"

Xia Qingyu shook his head: "What the hell is this AI for?" ”

Laifu: "Let's fight side by side!" My teammates! ”

……

After about ten minutes, the poison circle has been refreshed twice, which is one of the core mechanics of the battle royale genre. The main purpose is to control the duration of the game, and at the same time prevent negative play, which will affect the gameplay and the enjoyment of the game. Well, the official name of this thing is called Power Grid, but Qingyu also follows Ye Shenxi to call the poison circle, which is also an image.

The first time the drug is brushed 5 minutes from the official start of the game when the player parachutes to the ground, as the game progresses, the number of people decreases, the safe area is getting smaller and smaller, and the refresh interval between each poison circle is getting shorter and shorter, 2 minutes and 20 seconds, 1 minute and 30 seconds...... Until the last 15 seconds of a brush.

Until the end, the whole map was wiped in the 35th minute, which means that the longest time for a whole game is a little more than 35 minutes.

Of course, for most players and games, the game time will not be more than half an hour, and even many people will basically have less than 10 minutes a game, but after the score is reduced, they will also encounter more and more opponents, save the game experience, and in their hearts will also believe that they will be able to land in the next hand, so that they can't stop game after game.

At this time, the upper right corner shows that out of 100 people, there are only 64 people left, and these employees have still played a lot of games, and it is relatively rare to overturn and fall to death, all of them died in normal firefights.

In the middle, Laifu was knocked down by the enemy once, and Xia Qingyu hesitated for a while before deciding to save it, showing the brilliance of human nature. The pulling action is cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the rescue time of 10 seconds, both the rescuer and the rescued person cannot move, which is still more dangerous. Originally, in the previous brainstorm meeting here, Heng Gongyou planned to propose that the rescue action could be artificial respiration, but it was vetoed internally by the main planner, and the reason for the veto was that although artificial respiration is a normal first aid method, it does not need to bring unnecessary ambiguous breath.

Imagine a pair of boyfriend and girlfriend and two other friends in a double row, at this time the friend falls, the boyfriend is shooting for cover, the girlfriend wants to save people, if the boyfriend is saved, will the boyfriend be uncomfortable, think about the problem comprehensively.

It is said that in order to express his gratitude, Rifle left two first-aid kits on the ground, which are the trophies of the bag he licked at the gas station just now. Xia Qingyu sighed, this turns out to be an NPC with a hidden side quest, maybe next time there will be some props.

Ye Shenxi led the team to move forward steadily against the poisonous edge, passing between the buildings of the city, and also passing over the wilderness. I encountered some enemies and fought, using different guns to shoot, and also parkour chases, penetrating the wall and destroying the enemy through the cracks in the wall, and I also escaped by hiding in the garbage can.

Another boat ride through a bay was met with dolphins jumping up and seagulls chirping around the water. After the four people climbed up on the cliff by the sea, they sat on the beach with social actions, Ye Xia and the two sat on the edge of the cliff in the front row, and Shan Jie was alone in the back row, and the sea water slapped against the reef at the foot of the cliff, and there was a sound of waves......

Under the dynamic weather system, this is really to see the clouds outside the sky, listen to the ebb and flow of the coast, and the peace in the battle royale.

"It's beautiful." Xia Qingyu made a statement.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, it should be." Shan Jie responded.

In 2010, VGA Studio of the Year, Henggong's strength has long been undoubted.

Whether it is this new gameplay creativity, the system design of the game, the control of all details, the excellent operation feel, the overall degree of optimization, in short, the overall quality of this game, Xia Qingyu is very satisfied.

Even though the selling point of the battle royale gameplay aside, this is still a top-notch, highly competitive shooter game, and she's happy for the team, or even more. At the design level, Ye Shenxi will never disappoint anyone, and there is no need to worry about it under his leadership, and the excellent effect and experience presented in the end is the embodiment of the studio's hard power. In such a world-class studio, herring has two.

As for Laifu, at this time, a person was on the side in a circle and was on guard.

That is, they tested it internally, and if it were a real player game, they might still be shocked by the scenery in the game, but they probably wouldn't stop to look at the scenery like this.

"This game is going to be hot." Xia Qingyu made a decision from the player's point of view, and then got up and said, "Let's go, let's fight." ”
