Chapter 172: Pokemon Plan
Chapter 172 [Pokemon Project]
Tatsuno's questionnaire contains a lot of questions, and although it doesn't seem very detailed, there are many things that can be inferred from the answers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Do you like pixies? What do you think of trainers? Do you want to fight with the elves? Will you take the time to learn a little bit about pokemon? How much time will you spend on TV or games? Do you like to travel? What do you think is stopping you from traveling?
These are the questions in the questionnaire that Tatsuno developed.
After the members gathered all the questionnaires together, the programmers began to count the answers to each questionnaire, and by combining all the results and analyzing them, they came to the conclusion that Tatsuno wanted. These conclusions will be extremely important for the upcoming Pokemon project, as Tatsuno and the others will have to revise all aspects of the Pokemon game based on these findings.
The results of the statistics were not long in coming: 99.5% of people liked pixies; 80% think trainers are cool; 67% want to fight with elves; 72% of people are willing to take the time to learn about elves only; 37% spend more than an hour a day on TV or games; 66% love to travel; 52% believe that a busy job prevents them from traveling.
The results of this survey are exciting, as the members of Team Origin had never imagined that the average person would be so eager to travel with elves, and the conclusion that "37% of people spend more than an hour a day on TV or games" indicates that there is a huge potential market for their games.
"Tatsuno, you were right in your original thinking, this kind of game will really be popular." Lei Si said excitedly.
"Haha, originally I was just making a suggestion, but now that I see the results of the survey, I have more confidence in the game Pokemon." Tatsuno was also very happy at this time.
After the questionnaire, the game "Pokemon" was officially established, and this game officially became the first product of Siyuan Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
However, the project is still far from making a game, and the things involved in a game are very complex.
Long Ye naturally has the "Pokemon" games of various generations he has played in his previous life as a reference, but these things are only in his own head that others don't know, and now Tatsuno's task is to describe the game in his head to the production staff present, so that they can understand what kind of game they are going to make.
"Now that you've listened to what I'm going to say, I'm going to tell you how I envision the game to work, and then you can make the Pokemon game based on my description."
Akasaka was recording next to him, and Tatsuno cleared his throat and said, "According to my opinion, the game Pokemon should be able to reflect the entire journey of a trainer from the beginning to the whole stage of growth. The game begins with a scene where the protagonist picks up the initial pokemon from the local doctor, and then he sets off on a journey along different routes.
Whether the game will be played in 2D or 3D mode will have to wait for software engineers and hardware engineers to make a technical evaluation, which actually has a great impact on Pokemon as a game.
The game map of Pokemon can be appropriately simplified with a real Johto map, which can enhance the player's sense of immersion. ”
Tatsuno paused for a moment to let everyone digest what he said, "Pokemon can be regarded as an alternative role-playing game, but in it, the protagonists and elves have the same status, and the most important thing in this game is the map, the story line and the gameplay. Now that I've talked about the map, it's time to come up with a storyline to drive the game forward. ”
"I think we can use the gym battle as a story line, the protagonist challenges the gym one by one, and then becomes stronger little by little." A software engineer said.
"It's still a bit monotonous just like that, and I think you can join a villain organization, where the protagonist can fight the villain all the way on the road, and finally defeat the villain." Akasaka added.
Lei Si also joined in: "You can also have a partner or a strong rival who travels together. ”
Tatsuno nodded with satisfaction, this kind of thing is not difficult to think because of the realistic reference all, the suggestions made by these people can already form a story line.
"Now that we have a map and a storyline, I'm going to talk about the gameplay." Tatsuno organized the language, "The protagonist will continue to subdue the elves during the journey, and these elves will continue to grow because of the battle, and the elves will learn more powerful tricks while increasing their level......"
Tatsuno tried to describe the gameplay of Pokemon in his previous life, and then asked the people present to supplement it. They also made a lot of useful suggestions based on their own experiences, and Akasaka recorded them one by one.
The thirteen of them had been discussing it for two days before they could finalize some of the details of the entire Pokemon, but at this time their work had just begun!
Based on what was previously discussed, software engineers and hardware engineers made technical evaluations of the game Pokemon. They told Tatsuno that with the current technology, they could make 3D games, especially the 3D modeling of various elves, and the Fujiwara family had been doing this for a long time, and they could take the family information and simplify it.
This did not surprise Tatsuno, the level of technological development in the elf world is still very high, otherwise how could those villains create all kinds of black technology products that can threaten the divine beasts.
"If it's a 3D game, will the cost of the console be high?" Tatsuno asked the question he was most concerned about.
The hardware engineers nodded, "At present, the price is relatively high, but it should come down in a few years." ”
These elites never thought about funding when they were in the Fujiwara family, so they were used to spending money, but Tatsuno had to think about the cost. If the price of the console is too high, there will be many fewer buyers, which is difficult to accept for the Origin manufacturing company, which is desperate to make a name for itself.
"The first version of the Pokemon game will choose the 2D mode, and we will wait a few years to develop the follow-up version of the new 3D mode." Tatsuno made a decision immediately.
Now that the hardware engineers know the environment they need to run the game, they can get to work, but the software engineers have a lot more to do.
Tatsuno: What they discussed before was to look at the game from the perspective of a player, but as a game, the most important core of Pokemon is difficult for players to access, which is a large number of complex mathematical models.
Race values are part of these mathematical models, along with attribute phases, damage calculations, pokemon spawn chances, skill hit rates, and more. These things have to be calculated by rigorous mathematical models, and they are not good at all.
It can be said that this process of mathematical modeling is the most testing for engineers, and every piece of data has to be carefully considered.
"The first thing we need to do now is to determine the race values of all the pokemon, which is the basis of the Pokemon game." Tatsuno said in a deep voice.
"What is the race value?" Everyone asked puzzled.
"Race value is a measure of the quality of the elf in all aspects, it includes physical strength, attack power, defense, special attack, special defense ability, move speed and other aspects, each elf has an initial race value, and then according to the level of the increase of various abilities The improvement of various abilities is different."
"It's a good idea to describe the various attributes of the pokemon numerically, but where do we get so much data?" A programmer said in distress.
"That's right, even the family database won't have such detailed data."
"Even if the family has these things, can they be easily given to us? If you can really describe the abilities of the elves in such detail, then such information is absolutely kept secret by the family, how can we take it out with such fanfare? ”
The programmer's words silenced the crowd, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little oppressive.
Race is the core of the Pokemon game, and how would Pokemon be built without it? Like those fighting games, only the stamina and the damage of various attacks are left? How is it possible to make a game like this feel immersive?
Although Tatsuno had played the game Pokemon in the first place, it was impossible for him to write down all the race value distributions. He could have looked up these things through the system, and Tatsuno was going to do the same. But after listening to this clansman's words, Tatsuno suddenly dispelled the idea of taking out the race value data by himself.
He hadn't thought about it before, but now he suddenly realized that this kind of clan value data was so precious.
Nowadays, the research on many elves is just scratching the surface, and if Tatsuno talks about this race value data now, it will definitely set off a huge wave.
But if you don't get this race value, then what about the game Pokemon? Is it just to give up such a brilliant plan?
It was only at this time that Tatsuno suspected that perhaps no one had thought of such an idea as "Pokemon" before, but data such as race values was a roadblock, keeping these people firmly out.
"Am I going to fail like those people?" Tatsuno asked himself secretly......
