Chapter 52: Overture
The feedback from the test of "Lost Secrets" is not bad, but there are still problems, such as players will feel lost in the early stage, do not know what to do, and do not do enough guidance in the early stage. For example, the player's destination is not obvious enough, and there is some confusion in the process of exploration.
These are indeed some of the things that were not noticed in the design, and luckily Su Li and his team still had time to make changes to the game.
Bai Mori Xia and Xia Qinglan have already left Xinhai City to return home, and the eight-day Spring Festival holiday has temporarily deprived Future Oasis of their art team.
The other three people of the future oasis stayed in the development base, and Su Li's parents chose to travel abroad with friends during this Spring Festival, so the three big men chose to nest in the villa in this Spring Festival while doing some follow-up modification work, while celebrating the first Spring Festival since the establishment of the future oasis.
At this time, Su Li was still a little emotional, at this time last year, he was still alone, struggling alone, and now he has a group of excellent and interesting partners.
And the future oasis can be regarded as a smooth start.
The revisions didn't change much of the art assets, so the temporary departure of Hakumori Xia and Xia Qinglan didn't bother them too much.
Several people worked together to design a guidance system so that players who have just entered the game will not feel confused, and in the first part of the map, they added a few small mechanisms for players to crack and understand how to use items.
At the same time, at the top of the mountains, there is now an additional beam of light that goes straight into the sky. This beam tells the player that this is where your exploration ends, and that you are heading there.
According to the setting, the beam will change different colors at different times and in different weather, and the production of the beam is relatively simple, and Su Li can complete it by himself.
Of course, during this week, work was just their adjustment, and the three of them spent more time on entertainment. The continuous high-intensity development work is very overwhelming people's energy, and Su has been running almost endlessly for the past few months, catching up with the progress.
In this Spring Festival, it is better to slow down and enjoy some other fun.
The three of them are all gamers, and the way of entertainment is also quite unified, Su Li made up two stand-alone masterpieces this week, of course, just to clear the process, and those trophies or achievements have no experience to pursue. Other people's choices are similar, and to Su Li's surprise, Summit is quite enthusiastic about football games and has good skills.
Isn't India's ball game market eaten up by cricket, football is absolutely niche, and it hasn't even entered a World Cup......
We've been in at least once!
On the sixth day of the holiday, Bai Senxia and Xia Qinglan returned to Xinhai City two days early, and when Bai Senxia saw the beam made by Su Li, he glared at him fiercely, and then deleted this thing from the game.
According to her, Su is out of place in this game of inferior products.
She allows such stains to appear in her work.
…………
…………
Li Haoming met Su Li again after the New Year, this is the second time the two have met, compared to the formal dress when they met for the first time, Li Haoming is dressed more casually this time.
The place of meeting has not changed, it is still the same café, it is still the same location.
However, there was a subtle change in the atmosphere.
"You have a lot of questions?"
From Li Haoming's eyes and expression, Su Li sensed that he seemed to have a lot of things to ask.
Li Haoming didn't answer immediately, he did have a stomach full of questions that wanted to pour out on him before seeing Su Li again, but after meeting again, he didn't know where to start asking.
After playing "The Lost Secret Realm", in Li Haoming's eyes, the layer of fog that shrouded Su Li's body became a little thicker.
"To be honest, The Lost Secret Realm has performed a little bit better than my most optimistic estimates. I'm amazed by you and your technical team. Li Haoming sighed.
"Why only talk about technology, I think the design of "Lost Secrets" is also very good." Su Li replied with a smile.
Li Haoming shook his head and said: "Technical strength determines the height of design, and the design that cannot be realized is just a fantasy." In games, all game design relies on the ability of technology to implement, and in my opinion, the technology that implements the design is more valuable than the design itself. ”
Su Li was slightly stunned, and then nodded, to be honest, the design of "The Lost Secret Realm" is not very good and shocking, he just makes full use of the Oasis engine's technical implementation ability of the game, and makes a design that meets the technical ability.
What is the value of Lost Secrets?
Su Li's own answer, the first is the excellent light and shadow system with delicate and exquisite textures to create a "violent" picture quality that is one step ahead of the current era.
He thinks it's very appropriate to use "violence" to describe the picture quality, "The Lost Secret" itself doesn't have a too prominent art style, but the violent stacking of full 4K textures raises its picture quality to a surprising level.
The second is that the enhanced physics engine truly realizes the real restoration of the physical effects in the game, and the destruction effect of the scenery in the game has a qualitative leap compared to any engine.
The game design made based on this engine, in Su Li's view, is indeed the credit of technology, not the credit of his own design.
After having the system, Su Li itself has done a good job of technology-led design ideas, and his own design must be able to highlight the technical advantages.
"But it is precisely because of this that I have a new evaluation of you and the future oasis." Li Haoming's attitude is very serious.
"For a game development studio, there is a difference between the value of excellent technology and excellent creativity."
"Excellent ideas can be borrowed, copied, and integrated to make a great thing, and many excellent works are not groundbreaking, they just stand on the shoulders of giants and do better."
Li Haoming said very calmly, without the slightest embarrassment.
Su Li chuckled at this time, wondering if he was blackening himself.
"However, the technical excellence cannot be easily replicated. Even catching up requires a considerable amount of resources. ”
Li Haoming said: "I am more interested in you and your team now, of course, not only me, when your works are released, more and more people will be interested in you, maybe there will be no business for me then." By the way, I won you a higher level of treatment than the original plan, and WG's promotional resources were left to "Ten Thousand Immortals", but "Lost Secret Land" can enjoy the treatment of the platform's homepage when it is released. ”
"Rest assured, I kept my promise and didn't reveal anything specific to the company about Lost Secrets."
Su Li looked at Li Haoming and said slowly: "Actually, if you are interested, there is another choice entirely. ”
Li Haoming stared at Su Li, waiting for his answer.
"For example...... Join us. ”
