Chapter 403 - Open World Mobile Game?
When he saw Xu Xing take out five planning documents from the drawer, Gong Ao's mind was as excited as if fireworks had been set off.
This scene reminded him of the time he met when he first arrived.
He came to the stars with Dai Zhuoshan and Liao Qinyu, and Mr. Xu took out a few folders from the drawer in front of the three of them.
Since then, Mr. Xu's mysterious drawer can always appear in Gong Ao's dreams when he dreams back at midnight, and he will seduce and bewitch him more than a peerless beauty.
If it's just a simple number of plans, it's actually a game plan, and it can give a whole lot of it.
But the key problem is that Mr. Xu is different from other game planning.
The plan that came out of his hand has never been missed so far.
Not once.
That's a bit outrageous.
In particular, Mr. Xu is not a full-time game planner, he is the founder of Qunxing Group, and he is in charge of a large business.
The status of Tianshu games has long since dropped from the initial importance to the second gear.
In other words, there are probably only a few projects within Tianshu Games that can be put into the first gear by Mr. Xu.
In addition, the only thing that can be put into the first gear within the group is probably the WeChat message, as well as the short video project currently being developed internally.
So in such a situation, although Gong Ao will always pin his hopes on Mr. Xu's drawer, he is actually prepared in his heart.
If Mr. Xu said one day that he couldn't come up with a plan, and hoped that Tianshu Games would accelerate into the road of internal research and development, Gong Ao would not be surprised.
After all, there is a limit to people's energy, and Mr. Xu can't be an almighty jingle cat, and he can take out what he wants by touching it directly into his pocket.
But......
Mr. Xu's horse is really in stock?!
Gong Ao looked at the moment when Mr. Xu took out five documents, his eyes were glowing green.
When Xu Xing picked out two copies and took out two copies, one to stuff the remaining five back into the drawer.
Gong Ao couldn't help it at all.
He lay down on his desk and stretched out his right hand, like a cliff faller on the verge of a cliff, his whole face revealing longing.
It's a pity that the newly completed Stars Building, the office on the top floor is very spacious, and even the width of the desk is much wider than the previous one in the Ocean International Building.
Gong Ao's posture can only be done.
"Mr. Xu......" Gong Ao saw that the remaining three documents were about to be stuffed back into the drawer, so he couldn't help but salvage, "Let's not do this, right?" I've taken it out, why don't you take a look at it all first? ”
"......" Xu Xing looked at his exaggerated appearance, and he was really a little crying and laughing, "It's not that I don't want to show you, it's just that it's not necessary for you to see it now, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step, I'm afraid that you will be easily distracted if you see too much." ”
"And it's not all for you, some of them are ready to be taken to Mihuyou, which is not suitable for Tianshu Game."
"How do you know if it's suitable if you haven't seen it?" Gong Ao hurriedly said, "You can show us first, the requirements are not high, how about taking one more of the three?" ”
Gong Ao knows how to pull, three copies can't work, one can always be one, right?
Seeing that he was so hungry, Xu Xing simply handed over the three copies in his hand and said with a smile: "Then you draw one, which one is drawn, but just look at it, the two on the table have a higher priority." ”
"Good, good!" Gong Ao looked at the three documents in front of him, as if he was looking at three fair girls with different appearances, rubbing his hands, and his eyes were salivating.
If it weren't for Mr. Xu saying that he could only draw one more copy, Gong Ao would have been eager to directly take all three copies.
Fortunately, he was not really brainless, and he tried his best to sit still, and after rubbing his hands warm, his right hand touched all three documents.
It wasn't until Xu Xing was a little speechless and pretended to go back that Gong Ao hurriedly pulled out the middle share.
In this way, the three documents were placed on the table, and Xu Xing stuffed the two documents back in his hand and handed the time to Gong Ao.
"Look, feel free to ask any questions, and I'll take care of a little mail by the way."
Xu Xing leaned back in his chair, opened the mailbox, and processed the contents of the emails filtered by the secretary department, while waiting for Gong Ao to read the general contents of the documents.
This process had been gone through several times before, Gong Ao was very familiar with it, and after sitting down in the chair, he looked at the three documents, and after a little hesitation, he still opened the first two first.
Let's take a look at the third document at the end.
The first document was the thinnest, and Gong Ao felt a lack of interest as soon as he opened it.
Because this is the mobile game version of "Special Exercises", the above only provides in detail the UI settings and some detailed modification directions in the case of the revised mobile game, as well as the optimization direction of the mobile phone that is more important than the game itself.
After all, a big map battle royale like eating chicken, with 100 players in the same game, is a considerable test of mobile performance.
Even the "Special Exercises" running on computers are quite performance-hungry, and they have even led to a wave of recovery in the Internet café economy.
Not to mention the difficulty of adapting the performance of the chicken mobile game.
In terms of technical updates and iterations in this regard, Tianshu Games has always invested resources internally, and there is no need for Gong Ao to worry.
But if you put aside the difficulties of this part, the development difficulty of the chicken mobile game is not as great as imagined.
Especially if it was a simple replica of the game mode, Gong Ao hurriedly looked at it, then closed the document and continued to pick up the second document.
I opened the file and glanced at the name at the top - "Mythical Auto Chess" (tentative)
It is normal for the name of the planning project to be different from the final name, but the three words "auto-chess" still attracted Gong Ao's attention.
However, just looking at the name, Gong Ao roughly guessed that this is another IP expansion within Tianshu for the "Myth" series.
The first was the release of the card game "Mythical Descending", and then the popularity of "Mythical Return" last year.
Now there is another "Mythical Auto Chess", and I don't know what type of game it is.
Originally, when Gong Ao saw that it was a mythical IP, he still lacked freshness.
But after facing a thick stack of gameplay introductions and details, Gong Ao quickly immersed himself in this planning case, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It wasn't until almost twenty minutes had passed, and Xu Xing on the other side had almost finished replying to the email, that Gong Ao on this side suddenly came back to his senses, and then couldn't help asking: "This kind of gameplay looks a bit novel, doesn't it?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Xing nodded, "But it's not something I came up with out of thin air, someone has done this kind of gameplay in the original Warcraft custom RPG map, but it's relatively niche." ”
"Since then, similar gameplay has also appeared in games such as Pokemon Defense War and War Three Kingdoms."
"If you can't understand it, you can also compare it to mahjong, which will probably be easier to understand."
Gong Ao listened to Xu Xing's explanation, and his heart was slightly enlightened, and his interest slowly rose.
But there's no hurry, you can take it back and then analyze and understand it slowly.
Gong Ao asked a few points that he was more confused about, and then turned his gaze to the third document.
Xu Xing's gaze also shifted, and then said with a smile: "It's good for you to take a look at this, in short, it's not left for you, and the energy in the back is still put on the first two projects." ”
Hearing Xu Xing's words, Gong Ao felt a little unconvinced, but he still reached out and opened the third document in front of him.
The name of the project above is "Open World Mobile Game".
Gong Ao: "??? ”
Boy.
Wiping his eyes, Gong Aozai carefully stared at the name of the project and looked at it again and again, confirming that he was not mistaken.
Open world.
Mobile games.
It's outrageous.
A mobile phone is not a computer, how can you afford this kind of thing?
By the definition of an open world, the first thing you need is to be seamless on the map and large enough.
Players can walk freely on the map, as long as they do not break through the map boundary, they can freely explore the entire map without teleporting.
No wonder Mr. Xu didn't show himself.
At present, just eating chicken mobile games is enough to choke, not to mention the technical reserves of the open world.
The related technologies such as character models, collision methods, map loading, etc., may need to be innovated and optimized in order to make such an open-world mobile game run successfully on mobile phones.
Not to mention the fact that the company has almost zero experience in making open-world games.
The only thing that touches the side is probably the accumulation of technology in the "Special Exercise".
But the battle royale mode is still a little different in nature from the open world, and it can't be generalized.
In addition to issues such as maps, exploration and story missions in the open world are also the top priorities.
If you want to integrate these things together, optimize them, and ensure that they are fun, just thinking about it makes Gong Ao have a big head.
But the more challenging it is, the more energetic Gong Ao becomes.
He continued to look down before he realized something.
Mr. Xu seems to define this game as a two-dimensional painting style?
"Mr. Xu, are you sure you want to hand it over to Mi Huyou?" Gong Ao was a little speechless, "We have a lot of technical problems doing it ourselves, not to mention their small company, right?" ”
"The two-dimensional category is already niche, and with such an open-world buff, I'm afraid it's not going to be stillborn before it goes online."
"It's different." Xu Xing shook his head, "My positioning of Tianshu Game and Mi Fox Game is different. ”
"On Tianshu's side, the direction to be done is social, PVP-related, and a strong social game that can link WeChat."
"As for Mi Fox You, I'm more optimistic about their weak social games in the future."
"The genre of open world, although I haven't seen it in mobile games, is already an old concept in single-player and console games, and there are many predecessors who can learn it."
"There's no need for Tianshu's side to waste their advantages and pursue another direction."
"As long as you can do the first two projects well, I still have two projects waiting for you in the back, so you don't need to stare at this open-world mobile game project."
Xu Xing said so, but Gong Ao continued to watch.
He's a heavy single-player and console player himself, and he's familiar with the open-world genre.
If there is anything new in this plan, it is probably only the six words "open world mobile game".
But looking at it, Gong Ao's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he found something very interesting.
"Mr. Xu, this elemental reaction mechanism ......" Gong Ao looked up at Xu Xing.
"Just take a look, it's not too perfect, it's too tiring to write it completely, and the amount of calculation is too large, and I can't do it alone." Xu Xing said with a smile, "This is the essence. ”
Yes.
Xu Xing has always felt that the special essence of the Genshin Impact produced by Mi Huyou in the previous life lies in this elemental reaction mechanism.
The beauty of this combat mechanic is that it is not too complex enough to make sure that the strength of the characters is not over-inflated, but it is not too difficult to learn and understand.
Splitting a character's strength into elemental linkages across multiple characters, while grafting the overall team strength onto the elemental mechanic itself.
This leads to a very interesting point.
Relying on this set of elemental reaction mechanisms, Genshin Impact can completely control the strength and numerical expansion of the character.
And this kind of thing, in the mobile game of krypton card drawing, was almost an unsolvable problem before.
You have a new character, if the previous character is not strong, then why should the player draw it?
Mi Huyou gave two answers.
One is the player's XP and the other is the elemental reaction mechanic.
The former makes players fall in love with the character itself, while the latter puts the strength of the character on the strength of the mechanic, achieving a perfect balance.
"It's a whole set of mechanics that was similar to in previous games, but not as detailed." After Xu Xing explained, he continued, "And most of the stand-alone games or console games are buyout systems, and there is no need to consider the numerical expansion of the character strength. ”
"Actually, we can give it a try." Gong Ao muttered in his mouth, and after being explained by Xu Xing like this, he became even more greedy.
"Don't eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot." Xu Xing rolled his eyes, "I'll take this back, and you can take back the remaining two copies." ”
"In terms of auto chess, in terms of characters, with the blessing of the IP of the first two paragraphs, you don't have to work too hard."
"The focus is still on balance, we need to test more, and we need to do a good job in internal testing and collect more data."
"I see." Gong Ao sighed, reluctantly handed back the plan for the open world mobile game, and picked up the remaining two documents aggrievedly.
Thinking that there were still two copies in Mr. Xu's drawer that he hadn't shown him, he was itching for a while now.
Sure enough, people are not satisfied.
Once you get it, you want more.
But looking at it like this, Mr. Xu probably wouldn't show it to him at this time.
Getting up with the papers, Gong Ao walked to the door after saying goodbye, he had already opened the door of the office, and finally he still leaned on the door frame, poked his head in, and asked: "Mr. Xu, if you don't show me, forget it, but can I ask, what are the remaining two games?" ”
"It's all end games." Xu Xing said, "I should also do a buyout system, but I will try to add internal purchases after the buyout to see the effect." ”
What a damn one!
Gong Ao really wanted to give himself a big mouth.
Why didn't you get one of the three just now?
This bad luck stinks.
Come on.
I won't be able to sleep again when I go back tonight.
[Street Diary]: Today's losers' group finals are cool, this is even cooler than Shuangwen, BLG is awesome!
