Chapter 63: StarCraft Project Initiation

Why did he miss this kind of game before?

Come to think of it, RTS was the best fit for the studio's current manpower and his current capabilities.

If he develops an RTS from scratch, he must not be confident, don't look at the RTS itself does not seem complicated, but the design of the core elements of the game is really difficult.

RTS doesn't look like a big game, but in fact, the main thing that takes up the most resources is the map resources.

In this regard, for Gu Feng, who has memory jelly beans, it is not a problem at all, anyway, as soon as the jelly beans are eaten, all the maps that have been played before can be remembered, and when the time comes, it will be similar to the home mode of simulated operation, and it will be over according to the arrangement.

If you want to say that the real difficulty in the production of RTS is the balance of values, after all, it is a competitive game, if the balance is not done well, no matter how good other things are, it is putting the cart before the horse.

There are also a lot of classic RTS in the previous life, but to say that the balance is really extreme, only Warcraft and Interstellar are the two. And it just so happens that both games are from the same company - Blizzard!

Since he decided to do RTS, Gu Feng naturally had to choose the best to do.

He has played Warcraft, Interstellar or Red Alert, and he has played it, and he can be regarded as a loyal player of RTS.

If it weren't for Interstellar 2, he might still be entangled in Warcraft and Interstellar 1.

But under the premise that Interstellar 2, which is known as the masterpiece of RTS, this is not a problem to think about at all.

Gu Feng finally had a goal for the next game, and he was in a good mood, he patted Nie Tian on the shoulder with his backhand: "Thank you, old Nie, I thought about it, the next one, I will do RTS!" ”

After saying that, he didn't stay anymore, he couldn't wait to walk towards the second floor, he didn't like to procrastinate, and he had to do it as soon as he thought of it.

The group looked at Gu Feng's back as he left in a hurry, and looked at each other.

"Did Lao Gu say he was going to do RTS?"

"Good...... It seems like yes. ”

"Wuhu!" The crowd cheered.

Everyone else in the store turned their heads in dissatisfaction to see what kind of neurotics were howling.

Rookie Era group.

"Sky: Outside the name! Chuxin Studio's next one is ready to do RTS! ”

"? Really? ”

"Isn't it? Isn't it the dancing line that I see Kaede God's dynamics? ”

"Sky: Stupid, you, the dancing line is going to be tested internally, which means that it will be done soon, what Lao Gu said just now, the next one will be RTS!"

"Tortoise! Maple God Cow Batch! I hope the new game will come out soon, I can't play this spicy chicken era for a second! ”

"White: Fidelity?"

"Sky: @White, old white, your uncle, don't you pretend to be dead now? Women's Clothing! ”

"Dog: @White, old white, your uncle, don't you pretend to be dead now? Women's Clothing! ”

"VV: @White, old white, your uncle, don't you pretend to be dead now? Women's Clothing! ”

"Milk: @White, old white, your uncle, don't you pretend to be dead now? Women's Clothing! ”

"! The gods collectively deceive the corpse? Take a group photo in the front row, by the way, @White, old white, your uncle, don't pretend to be dead at this time? Women's Clothing! ”

â€Ķâ€Ķ

"White: [Image]"

In the picture is a tall and thin young man, with a relatively delicate appearance, but with the sailor suit on his body, his eyes are really spicy.

As soon as the women's photos came out, there was immediately a long list of vomiting messages below.

"White: @Sky, can you speak now?"

"Sky: A thousand percent true, I reminded Lao Gu to do RTS."

"VV: That's right, give Xiao Tiantian a big credit."

"Dog: Yes, you can, @Sky, keep up with the progress, don't let Kaede God be lazy."

Nie Tian was reminded by him like this, thinking of Gu Feng, who usually had to come down from time to time to fish, he immediately felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"Sky: No problem."

Gu Feng hung a sign at the door of the office, "Retreat and cultivate, don't disturb!" He locked himself in the room.

Everyone looked at each other.

"What's the situation?"

"I can't get it."

Wen Meng, who was playing with the new level of Elimination, took a sip of rose tea, and said strangely: "Wait for the meeting, the design draft and concept art of the new game are coming." ”

"No, I haven't heard of the new game." Cheng Qiang looked incredulous.

"I hope what Mengmeng said is true, I've been idle for the past few days." A round-faced girl with a little baby fat said that her computer was on and hanging at this moment, and she was having fun playing with the dancing line with half a headset.

The girl's name is Wu Ya, 25 years old, the original artist of the character, called the original artist of the character, in fact, after entering the studio, I haven't really drawn a original painting related to the character, no way, it's really the only four games that don't have this need now.

Therefore, her job has always been the easiest, and she basically helps others do what she can.

Gu Feng was afraid that she would be too idle, so he also found something for her to do, and the tasks arranged were not difficult, so he let her draw two-dimensional characters as she liked.

"Not to mention, the dancing line is really fun, and the music in this desert level is too emotional." Wu Ya praised from the bottom of her heart.

"The score was written by the boss, and the piano was played by Junzilan, isn't it normal to listen to it?" Wen Meng has unknowingly become a die-hard fan of Gu Feng.

After more than four hours, and half an hour before it was time to get off work, Gu Feng's closed office door finally opened.

"At the meeting, I will talk about the design draft of the new game, and by the way, I will arrange the division of work and tasks of the new game." Gu Feng walked towards the conference room, and glanced at everyone as he passed by, "Everyone is coming." ”

The bewildered crowd looked at me, I looked at you, and finally all looked at Wen Meng, who was calm as usual.

"It's up to me to do something, let's go, it's a meeting." She locked the screen, picked up the pen and paper, and stood up.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Gu Feng briefly introduced while playing with the projection: "The dancing line has reached the final stage, and the next focus of everyone's work will be on the new game, and the new game we want to make is an RTS game." ”

They are all practitioners in the game industry, and everyone here naturally understands what RTS games are.

The boss deserves to be the boss, and he picks and chooses what he doesn't do well.

Whether it is casual, puzzle, puzzle-solving, or audio games, they are all game genres with poor market feedback, and even the only action game that is a little popular, Gu Feng is also a sword and has created his own genre.

Therefore, when I heard that the next game to be made was an RTS game, everyone's reaction was relatively calm.

As the design was projected onto the big screen, everyone saw the name of the new game.

StarCraft.

Gu Feng walked to the big screen and began to explain.

If they didn't have a clear idea of Wen Meng's "design draft and concept map are coming" before, now they have seen it completely.

In addition to the brief mention of the game's plot, Gu Feng explained other aspects in great detail, including the troop class settings, building settings, and technology trees of the three major races; Map mechanics in the map, such as Crystal Ore, Gas Ore, Rock, Watchtower; The basic gameplay of the game; Battle; map editor; ladder and season mechanics, and more.

Basically, just listening to Gu Feng's description, they could already roughly make up the finished effect of the game in their minds, and they were already interested just by listening to it.

Then, Gu Feng began to explain the concept draft, because of the limited time, he just drew a random concept draft of a Zerg jumping insect for the time being, and painted this just to let everyone have a simple understanding of the game painting style.

"Okay, I'll arrange everyone's work next. Wen Meng, your task is mainly to write the front-end architecture. Wu Ya, I'll give you the concept draft and detailed requirements of the jumping insect in a while, you can draw the original drawing of the jumping insect first for me to see in the past two days, and I will try to draw the concept draft of other classes and buildings in the next two days. For the time being, the others will continue to put the finishing touches on the dance line. ”

After less than an hour of meetings, StarCraft is officially established!

In the evening, Gu Lan sent him a message.

[Lan: I want to ask you something. 】

[Kaede: ? 】

[Lan: Why do you want to pull me and Junjun to start a company together, with the current operation of Chuxin Studio, you can do it alone. 】

Gu Feng smiled, yes, he can do it alone, but he doesn't make games to make money, he lives a new life, he sees many things more thoroughly than before, money is such a thing, as long as it is enough, there are always more precious things in this world than money.

Kaede: Because you're my sister. 】

It took a while for the other side to reply.

[Lan: What about Junjun? Because you like it? 】

[Feng: Maybe, I just don't want to see my senior sister enter the entertainment industry, this circle is too chaotic, I don't want to see any accidents happen to her. What's more, my senior sister likes music, and I can do the stage that the entertainment industry can give her. 】

[Lan: You're really ......]

[Lan: If you like it, you will give it away directly, and the girl who is vain will definitely agree on the spot, but for Junjun, maybe it will be counterproductive. Believe it or not, even if she finally agrees, she will definitely not ask for your shares. 】

[Kaede: I really didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to show my sincerity as much as I could. But now it's impossible to change your words, so you can only walk and watch. 】

Gu Feng really didn't think about it so much, for him, there is really not much difference between giving 5% and giving 15%, as long as he still controls more than 50% of the shares and ensures that he has the right to speak in the company, the other shares are just numbers in his eyes.

Now that he heard Gu Lan say this, he seemed to really think that something was wrong.

[Kaede: Sister, you won't be polite to me, will you? 】

[Lan: It's not polite, but 5% is too much, as long as the mind arrives, one thousandth is enough. 】

[Kaede: It's too little, if you make a profit of 10 million a month, then you don't get as much money as other employees.] No, no, 1%. 】

[Lan: Just one thousandth, if you want me to take more, let's just work hard to do a good job of the company, as long as the company earns hundreds of millions of dollars a month, I can't earn 100,000 a month, hehe. 】

Gu Feng didn't know what to say, and his heart was warm.

One thousandth is one thousandth, sister, you still underestimate your brother's ability to make money.

[Kaede: Sister, you just wait to be a multimillionaire. 】

Lan: Okay, I'll wait. 】

[Lan: Let's go together (āļ‡â€Ē_â€Ē)āļ‡]
