Chapter 42: I'm a Genius!

"What's so fun about jumping grids?"

"And it's over when you die once, you don't even have a chance to make mistakes, and it's too unfriendly to players."

I stared at this demand table for more than ten minutes, and I didn't see any highlights in terms of playability.

Li Zongzheng's index finger tapped lightly on the table for a long time, and he didn't even type out a line of code.

It's not that he can't do it, but how to look at this demand table and how to hit the street!

Anyway, he asked himself, he would never play this game, let alone spend a dime on it.

What's the matter?

Thinking of the solemn expression on his boss's face when he asked him about this project before leaving, and how important this project was to the company's future development, Li Zongzheng's expression couldn't help but be difficult.

"If I really make it according to the demand table, I will definitely hit the street, and the boss will definitely be disappointed in me at that time."

"Or ...... Change? ”

As soon as the thought came to me, it was out of control.

Li Zongzheng's eyes lit up, and a brilliant idea popped up in his head.

"The setting of the charge jump is too slow to play the game, and once it has been pressed for a long time, it cannot be undone, and the player can only watch the game end...... Simply delete this item and change it to a fixed height for one-key jumping. ”

Resting on the keyboard and mouse, Li Zongzheng crackled and expanded the original 500-word outline to 700 words.

However, he soon realized the problem again.

The core of this "jump" gameplay is to jump to the center of the grid to get points, if it is changed to jump to a fixed height and distance, wouldn't it be equivalent to subverting the core gameplay of the whole game?

"What a deal."

Biting his nails, Li Zongzheng, who was leaning on the chair, pondered for a long time.

Finally, his eyes lit up, and he sat up from his chair and crackled at the keyboard again.

"The core gameplay has been turned upside down...... Then let's just change the core gameplay! ”

"The gameplay of the standing long jump is already very slow to the pace of the game, so it is better to change it to a villain running on a continuous track, jumping to avoid obstacles in front of him. Instead of jumping on the spot between several fixed squares, as in the standing long jump! ”

That's right!

Is this called parkour?

"In this way, not only the attributes of parkour are strengthened, but players can even experience the excitement of racing games!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ According to this setting, it is best to change the top-down perspective to a third-person perspective, which can enhance the player's sense of substitution, and secondly, better present the game content to the player! ”

The demand table on the computer screen has changed more and more, from the original 500 words to 4 times, to the current 2000 words, and there is a faint trend of more and more.

However, Li Zongzheng did get more and more excited the more he wrote, not only forgetting his original task, but also leaving the original demand form behind.

"It's too boring to have only the jump button, you have to add a sliding shovel, and the type of obstacle is also set, some can only jump over, and some can only squat over."

"It's still a bit boring to only operate in two directions, so simply add a coordinate axis, and press the arrow keys or swipe left and right to turn when encountering a corner."

"Not only is the gameplay rich, but the plot also has to be rich!"

It's time for what he's best at again!

That is to complete the world view setting of the game!

It's just a parkour game, but as a professional game designer, you're sure to be looking for perfection in the details. Why does the protagonist run for his life? Where to escape? All of this requires a story that can be justified by a story that is very important, at least in Lee's view.

"The story is set in the setting of an explorer searching for the ruins of an ancient civilization, running wild in a temple full of traps!"

Why run wild?

Because there's a beast behind it – or simply a monster!

And because it is set to be a temple, there are naturally gold and silver treasures dedicated to the gods by the natives along the way.

With a stroke of his pen, Li Zongzheng added gold coins and gems to the original setting.

That is, players can dodge monster chases and climb over obstacles, while also collecting gold coins and gems scattered along the way as points for the game.

Changed and changed,Li Zongzheng also changed the judgment of the failure of the game.,From the initial mistake directly game over,Changed to the distance bar between the player and the monster.。

This distance bar is shortened by the player colliding with obstacles, and is reset to zero due to major mistakes, but can also be lengthened by successive perfect dodges and special items.

This not only takes care of the player's gaming experience, but also gives the player the opportunity to make up for mistakes, while increasing the sense of urgency of parkour.

After some revisions, the new outline has unconsciously exceeded 5,000 words.

The revised outline is completely different from the original requirements table.

Looking at the masterpiece on the screen, the expression on Li Zongzheng's face was extremely excited and proud.

I'm such a genius!

Isn't this game much more fun than that hop and jump?

To put it bluntly, the name Jump is earthy enough, and there is no sense of plot and picture at all.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Whew, the setting is finally done, and then it's finally time for what I'm best at. ”

Design the level details!

And most importantly -

Design Monsters!

He even had a picture in his head.

An invincible explorer leaps up and down the brick-paved temple and runs for it, while behind him is a temple demon with teeth and claws......

The plot of millions of words was made up by the automatic brain, Li Zongzheng's eyes flashed with excitement, and he only felt that his whole body was full of inexhaustible energy, and he couldn't wait to start bursting his liver from now on and finish this project.

However, at the beginning of everything, there must be a name.

"This new gameβ€”"

"Just call him a temple escape!"

After creating a new folder on the desktop, Li Zongzheng opened the modeling tool with great confidence.

Steady, steady.

This project is ironclad!

……

[How?] Have you received the request form? 】

Although he believed that Li Zongzheng would not live up to his expectations, and reluctantly believed that the system was worthy of judging the potential, Hao Yun couldn't help but send a text message after waiting all day.

After waiting for about two minutes, a WeChat message finally came back.

[The framework of the game has been built, and the model part is missing! Don't panic, I'm already doing it! 】

Is it just a model?

Seeing this news, Hao Yun was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face couldn't help but hang up a question mark.

What's so good to model with a jump?

This kind of grid-jumping game, isn't it okay to use the free materials in the editor directly?

He always felt that something was wrong, but after some hesitation, he finally chose to trust his employees, and did not ask too much about the details of the project, but just told the key parts again.

[It's good if there is progress...... Oh yes, and don't forget to make the leaderboard system as well, we have to fully mobilize the competitive spirit of users to make the leaderboard move. 】

After two seconds, Li Zongzheng's message came back.

[Leaderboard? Oh, no problem! That's a good idea, wrap it up on me! 】

Hao Yun: "......? ”

What does it mean that this is a good idea?

Didn't you write it on the demand form?

Did this guy take a hard look at his own requirements table, and it felt like he had just thought about it.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I hope I'm thinking too much. ”

Hao Yun, who put down his mobile phone, comforted himself in his heart.

After all, he thinks that his requirements table is simple and clear enough, but any normal person can understand it.

What's more, the game itself is not a particularly complicated thing, and it is even three steps less than the operation of 2048.

If you can't even make such a simple game, then this guy is sorry for his potential.
