Chapter 37: Monument Valley

On the third day, Wen Meng found Gu Feng early in the morning with a report and a newly designed level of elimination.

Gu Feng read the report first, and Wen Meng sat quietly on the side, nervously waiting for his evaluation.

"Well, it's not bad." Gu Feng gave a pertinent evaluation after reading it carefully, Xueba is a Xueba after all, and it can be seen from many details in the report that she has obviously worked hard to specialize.

Wen Meng breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that she could write so much, and she also had to thank Nie Tian for his tirade that night.

Although the other party is not a game designer, when a player's game level reaches a certain height, it can also see some problems that designers will ignore. This is also the reason why major game companies like to invite some great players to participate in the closed beta.

"There are a few small problems, na, look here......" Gu Feng pointed out the mistakes or imperfections in her report one by one, Wen Meng listened carefully and humbly, and felt that he benefited a lot after listening.

After looking at the level she designed, Gu Feng only made one suggestion.

He told her that the three-star score should not be too high in every level, and that the pace should be controlled, and if the player can only get two stars every time he plays a level, even if he has ten moves left, this depression will accumulate and will be counterproductive.

The best rhythm is to allow players to easily get three stars or even color stars in five or six levels in a row, and then suddenly come to a difficult level, either difficult to pass, or difficult to three-star, in short, the purpose of this level is not to let players play too smoothly.

Wen Meng said that she was taught, and she also knew that the original match also involved the control of the rhythm of the game, which Gu Feng didn't say, she didn't think of it at all, let alone her, so many game evaluators and experts in the outside world didn't mention this.

In the end, Gu Feng's words hit the heart even more.

There is no simple game, only constant improvement.

A simple and straightforward sentence made her deeply aware of the gap between herself and Gu Feng.

Looking back, she didn't look down on big manufacturers commoditizing games for money, but how different is she, in order to win awards, and how different is she from the likes of Longteng.

Perhaps it is Gu Feng's attitude of striving for perfection that allows him to make excellent works such as Happy Elimination and Dead Cells.

She has a lot to learn.

"Thank you for the boss's advice, I'll go back and change it again." She stood up, bowed heartily, and prepared to pull the door open.

"Don't worry." Gu Feng stopped her.

She looked puzzled.

Gu Feng beckoned to her: "Come here." ”

Wen Meng obediently walked up to Gu Feng and leaned over to look at his screen.

Gu Feng smiled: "Don't stand, move a chair over, I'll tell you about the design draft of the new game." ”

Wen Mengmei's eyes lit up, the design draft of the new game is good? She has been thinking about this matter in her heart for the past two days, and she thought that there would be news later today, but she didn't expect it to be done now.

She took small steps briskly, and soon brought a chair and sat down obediently, expectant and apprehensive.

With the precedent of Happy Elimination and Dead Cells, she had no doubt about Gu Feng's strength, but after all, she had to completely leave it to herself, and she was very worried that her level would drag Gu Feng back.

Gu Feng didn't think about it so much, this game is not very difficult to make, he will explain all the details to Wen Meng clearly, and he will also leave her a certain amount of free play.

This game was indeed inspired by Wen Meng, who used up 4 memory beans in his previous development of Dead Cells, and the last memory bean was just left for this game.

Because the game itself doesn't have much content, he plans to directly combine the two into one, and do it directly at one time, saving you trouble later.

"The name of this game is "Monument Valley", and the core gameplay of the game is to make the protagonist reach the end of each level through various mechanism modification routes......"

Gu Feng explained to her in great detail, there were 10 chapters in the first part of Monument Valley, and 14 chapters in the second part, and Gu Feng returned the level concept drafts of all the chapters.

According to the concept draft, he made it very clear what mechanism to be used in each place, the overall music style, the art style, and the effect of the mechanism transformation, and made a lot of annotations on each concept draft.

Wen Meng listened very carefully beside her, and she was also a little confused, she thought that Gu Feng was just giving her a big framework and talking about the main gameplay of the game, but she didn't expect Gu Feng's design draft to be so detailed.

She felt like she barely had to use her brain, she just did it.

However, the design idea of realizing the path change through poor vision mentioned by Gu Feng is simply amazing, just by making up the picture in her brain, she has an urge to shoot the case.

According to Gu Feng, the spiritual core of this game is to convey the beauty of space.

"That's pretty much it, is there anything you don't understand."

Wen Meng pointed out a few things that he couldn't fully understand when he listened, and Gu Feng answered them one by one.

After answering questions, Gu Feng smiled and encouraged: "Come on, you finish the two big chapters I said first, after you finish it, you can design some levels by yourself, and you can give full play to new ideas, as long as the level is up to standard, you can add it when the time comes." ”

Wen Meng's spirit perked up, and his motivation was a little more sufficient, and he was finally not a pure tool person.

Looking at her impatient way to leave, Gu Feng smiled.

Although he is reproducing the classics of his previous life in this world, it does not mean that he has to copy them all. No matter how good the game is, there are shortcomings and shortcomings, whether it is Happy Fun or Dead Cells, he has not received all the things of the original.

This is true of happy and happy cells, this is true of dead cells, it is also true of Monument Valley, and the same is true of the classics that will be revived in the future.

Gu Feng continued to accept the feedback from the customers in the store, optimizing and adjusting some small problems in the game, Wen Meng was working intensively on Monument Valley, and at the same time, he had to do the ranking mode of Happy Match according to Gu Feng's requirements, and design new levels by the way.

As more and more people know that a new experience store with extremely high-grade decoration and extremely affordable price has opened on the side of Times Paradise Street, the customers of the Chuxin Experience Store are increasing day by day, and it has only been a week since the store was opened, and it has already reached the achievement of full customers.

The PC zone is a group of ascetics who are suffering madly in dead cells.

The mobile game area is a scenic area full of white flowers and long legs.

Most of the VR area is because there are no seats in the PC area, and they have no choice but to go here to pass the time.

There are many Buddhists in the rest area, chatting, reading, drinking drinks and playing with mobile phones, and even those who have schoolbags around them to write homework.

After all, the world is still not so strict with the control of minors, Internet cafes and experience stores are relatively formal, and minors have made special game cards with their real names.

This thing can only be used for one hour a day, and no matter how much you can use it for an hour at any Internet café experience store, you can't use it in other stores that day.

Therefore, many parents don't care whether their children go to Internet cafes or experience stores to play, anyway, no matter how big your Internet addiction is, you can only stare dryly after an hour of attendance.
