Chapter 035: "Legend" project is established

With the arrival of the 2D engine, too much time has been saved for game development in the micro era.

On the second day, multiple teams in Micro Times set up the project.

In addition to the earliest "Happy Farm" team, which is responsible for the development and production of the terminal game "Happy Farm", with a team of 50 people, in order to complete the production of "Happy Farm" within 15 days and enter the closed beta stage.

In fact, the production of this game is relatively simple, considering that the current team is brand new and requires a process of integration, so the time requirements are slightly more relaxed.

The second team is the "Legend" team, in the original world, the source code of "Legend" is easy to find, and the game development around "Legend" has also formed an output value of tens of billions. In this world, Tang Xin can only reconstruct the world with the help of a 2D engine. However, compared with the more than ten professions in later games, "Legend" only has three professions: warrior, magician and Taoist. The map is also very rough, there are not many class skills, and the skill effects are relatively simple. The only requirement is that the costumes are as gorgeous as possible, and the weapon system must be high-end and atmospheric.

At present, there are a lot of online games in this world abroad, and relatively speaking, in addition to a turn-based online game full of plug-ins and loopholes in China, only the 2.5D online game "Hope MT" that is about to be tested is left, which is an online game developed by the studio founded by her senior.

Tang Xin didn't plan to optimize "Legend" too much, she preferred to keep the original "Legend". In fact, "Legend", as an earlier online game, has many settings that are quite popular among the people.

For example, in the entire game map of "Legends", except for a small safe area in the center of each city, any other location can be PK.

The "small" map and the large number of players are a pair of irreconcilable contradictions, PK has become the only solution, and only the strong can occupy areas with high monster refresh rates.

Where there is bloodshed, there is a fight, and players want to get better equipment only by fighting bosses. As a result, a single player can no longer gain anything in the boss battle, so the union began to be born. In order to compete for BOSS resources, trade unions and trade unions began to organize and scale PK at the BOSS spawn location. And this is also where too many people like and can't put down "Legend".

In addition, the siege mode is also unique to Legend, which is the largest PK event on all servers.

Since the "Legend" game is set up to drop equipment randomly by death, the red name will explode the equipment, so it will also cause malicious PK. Some players have no reason to kill you as a boss when they see that you have good equipment on you.

is the so-called narrow road to the enemy, he was killed last time, and this time he wants to save face. So there is hatred chasing and killing, enemies meet each other, and the PK mode is opened first when they meet.

Therefore, around the main theme of PK, the game has multiple attack modes, such as peace mode, whole mode, guild mode, marshalling mode, merger mode, master and apprentice mode, good and evil mode, and so on.

Of course, the most attractive thing for players is to attack Shabak, countless guilds have died on the battlefield, just to capture Shabak and win honor.

"Legend" still chooses the point card charging model in this world, and Tang Xin is quite looking forward to what kind of situation this game will be in public beta.

Thanks to the 2D engine, plus the number of people in the Legends team reaches 80 people. It includes almost all the elite talents in the new employees of the micro era. There is only one purpose, to make "Legend" start the open beta during the Spring Festival.

At this time, there are still more than two months before the Spring Festival, and the time is very tight, in addition to the ready-made 2D engine and the complete set of game planning provided by Tang Xin, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the "Legend" team.

The third team is the QQ team, this team currently has only ten people, and the selected technicians are more loyal, and they have signed a sky-high confidentiality agreement with Micro Times. At the same time, during the research and development period, there are special workshops, lounges, and activity rooms, but they refuse to provide telephone and contact information, and their ultimate goal is not to disclose the idea of entering instant messaging in the micro era, as well as the QQ software currently being produced.

This kind of confidentiality measure has been agreed by ten people, and they are also proud and proud to participate in the research and development of QQ, which will be the most colorful stroke in their life resume. So, they called their families separately and said that they were going to complete a task, which would take about a month. During this month, no communication can take place. Of course, the company will not be unkind, if the situation is special, you can still apply, but you have to supervise the whole process.

In fact, after so many days of production of QQ software, Tang Xin has completed almost half of the task. All the QQ team has to do is to add relevant functions and optimize the software according to Tang Xin's requirements.

The first is the QQ quick login icon, and the artist has designed a penguin that is more cute than the QQ in the previous life. This penguin has the same red scarf, and it is also a male and female style.

Seeing these two cute penguins, Tang Xin directly called the two of them Brother Q and Sister Q, and used them as the mascots of the micro era.

The second is the game login interface, which is fresh, generous, and simple. The login screen is divided into two parts, the upper part is a sky blue dynamic progressive color picture, on which there is a concept map of a penguin and the letters QQ. The lower part is the login window, the left side is a personal custom avatar, and the right side is the account and password input window. On the right side of the account is the account registration button, and on the right side of the password is the password retrieve button. Directly below the account input window, there are two checkboxes, which are remember password and automatic login. After the netizen checks it, the next time you log in, you don't need to enter the password.

The third is the interface after QQ login. The first version of QQ was relatively simple in terms of functionality, with an online rating system in addition to custom avatars and nicknames. Accumulate 2 hours of online online every day and be online for 5 consecutive days to get one star. Accumulate online for 32 days and get a moon. Accumulate 320 days online and you can get a sun.

On the one hand, the online rating system can attract netizens to log in to QQ for a long time and gradually form a habit. On the other hand, it satisfies the upgrading interest of netizens. Just like playing a game, many people will spend days and nights brushing up experience for the sake of leveling. The same is true for the QQ level, the difference is that it only needs to accumulate more than 2 hours of online every day to count as a day.

In terms of function, QQ has also prepared a membership system, but the membership system is temporarily not open during the public beta period. Because with the advent of the membership system, there will be a QQ group function launched. Good things naturally have to be hidden for a period of time, at least not to let the opponent figure out the hole cards, this is the working principle that Tang Xin believes.

Although the first version does not launch the QQ membership function for the time being, QQ's built-in video and voice chat, QQ emoji, online file transfer, offline file transfer and other functions will also lead this Internet era.

At the same time, in order to connect with the users of "Goddess Cube" and "Happy Farm" after the launch of QQ in the future and achieve diversion, the first version of QQ will also add "Goddess Cube" and "Happy Make" one-click login buttons in the interface.

For QQ, Tang Xin has no time requirements for this team, but more hopes that the team can carefully polish QQ and create high-quality products, so as to overshadow the entire instant messaging field in the first appearance.
