No. 472: Perspective on the Future (2)
Four days later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhao Ziluo was about to enter the conference room, he was told that he was in a working group meeting.
As soon as he stepped into the working group, a pair of eyes looked at him - more than 70 members of the StarCraft production team were all there! Long Qi, Zhao Mengde, Li Wei'an, and Li Wanjun sat at the forefront.
"What is this?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, a game mod test, you don't need to use so many people, right?
The so-called mod is the basic running framework of this game.
There are even no models, the map is green, and the classes are just red dots - mainly to test whether a game's stats can pass the level.
Most games have to go through this level when creating - for example, for dark-like games, you will go directly to the dark template when you test it, and this kind of template is generally public.
Li Wanjun stood up and said with a smile: "Teacher, this is the first template test of StarCraft, we hope to let everyone see it, and if there is any brainstorming, it is good to bring it up in time." ”
Long Qi said lightly: "Teacher, this is the first template test, and we will not shy away from it if there is a problem." ”
Zhao Mengde also smiled: "After all, everyone is for the better game, and you can't hide from the doctor." ”
Zhao Ziluo raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled: "Then please come up and start directly." ”
Immediately, two employees came to the stage, opened the template, and a gray map appeared on the computer.
It's pure gray, and there's no drawing.
The blue is the ore site, and the green is the gas.
One side is red and the other is yellow. Each type of building is a block with the name of the building on it. The classes produced in the building are small red dots, and only the class name is marked.
In the rear, the full screen of the game appeared, without the fog of war, and everyone had turned on their computers and was ready to record.
The template test, except for the lack of art, is complete, and there are so many things that can be seen!
For example, the time of the whole game.
For example, which race can attack at five minutes, and how many troops are there? Can the other party stop it?
Long Qi, Zhao Mengde, Li Wanjun and Li Wei'an are all senior gamers, but if there is a little problem, they will not fail to find it!
will never care about Zhao Ziluo's face.
Drip...... Drip...... Drip...... With the penultimate sound, both sides entered the game at the same time, and the two immediately began to operate.
They are all core employees of the StarCraft production team, of course they know how to play the game, and the hotkey setting Blue Star has long been there, and in an instant, the sound of keyboard tapping is endless.
One minute, two minutes......
Three minutes passed, Long Qi let out a slight "um", his brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze was completely solemn.
Not only him, everyone exchanged glances in disbelief, at least dozens of staff members, all opened their mouths slightly, feeling incredible!
Rhythm!
The pace is fantastic!
The time for the two sides to build is comparable, this is the Zerg vs. the Terran, the Terran was slow to send troops in the early days, but as soon as the bunker was erected, when the Zerg 10 peasant medium-speed dogs rushed to arrive, it was already four ScVs surrounding the bunker, and the machine gunners were already in place!
"This rhythm ......" Long Qi took a deep breath, and the shock in his heart was indescribable!
It's a wonderful rhythm!
The Zerg used some economic damage, but took the initial initiative. The Terrans did not damage any economy, but they lost the initiative in the early stage and entered the mode of defensive counterattack.
The characteristics of the two races are very distinct! And because of the difference in the initial construction and the speed of dispatching troops, a psychological game was formed!
Is it to the initial economy?
Or do you want to take the initiative in the initial map?
"This ...... Is it the work of a newcomer? ”
He couldn't believe it.
Any game has its own rhythm, but this rhythm is something that only the great gods of games can make!
Now a newcomer actually presents a perfect rhythm on top of the first work?
That's impossible!
The scene is full of elites in the industry, and everyone can understand it, but it is precisely because they can understand it that it brings them great shock!
"No, it's more than that!" An employee was shocked and typed quickly, muttering, "Construction, the speed of dispatching troops is simply perfectly controlled!" ”
"When the Zerg ten dogs went out, the Terrans only had one machine gunner, a bunker that had just been built."
"But when the map is finished, when the Zerg arrives at the gate of the Terran, it just so happens that the bunker is about to be completed! As long as you block it, the Terrans will be safe! ”
The employees around him looked at it with light eyes, and said in a deep voice: "While highlighting the racial advantage, the time data is very well controlled!" For every move of the player, there is a mental prediction! And give high feedback! ”
His eyes couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziluo.
What the hell is this...... Newcomer?
Are you an artist?
Just looking at the first five minutes, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a god in the industry!
No......
The great gods may not be able to call up such perfect data!
The layman may not feel much about the collision of these little red dots.
But the insider looks at the doorway! Every dot on the screen is now enough to amaze the Tiantong data group!
The discussion is quietly rising, getting louder and louder!
"...... This time data is set! Accurate to the second! How long did Mr. Kong Fang take the exam for this game? This is definitely not an improvisational data! ”
"The two races tend to be perfectly balanced in the first five minutes! As we speculated, the Zerg are good at fast attack, and the Terrans are slowly exerting their strength, and the characteristics are too distinct! ”
"It's time that stands out from all of these features...... It's the magic of time! This time data setting is simply amazing! ”
Li Wanjun was also dumbfounded.
But when he heard the discussion, he still pressed his hand. At the same time, he looked at Zhao Ziluo in disbelief.
He had a bad premonition.
Everyone was engrossed in the game, and as time progressed, the first massive collision finally began!
After the Terrans came out with heavy artillery and tanks, the base defense area was impassable, the second mine was opened, the six soldiers were transferred, and a team of machine gunners began to converge, and one hundred and twenty or thirty combat units were quickly gathered.
Not to be outdone, the Zerg has two more resource areas than the Terrans, and the population is also two hundred!
After the appearance of the Tech Ball, the Terrans led a large group of machine gunners and a small number of tank Tech Balls to start the first Northern Expedition.
In the fourth resource area of the Zerg, a large number of jumping insects, stinging snakes, and flying dragons composed of troops were eyeing each other, and just when the Terran troops had just emerged, a full two hundred Zerg units rushed up like a tide!
"Here we go...... It's finally getting started! ”
Offstage, even the gods in the first row couldn't help but tense their bodies.
The most important data test has finally arrived!
Large-scale operations are the most important part of interstellar data testing!
Obviously, there is no sound, the picture is just red dots and blue dots, but everyone in the audience is enthusiastic!
The disappearance of troops on both sides represents a decreasing number of demographics, however...... The Terrans obviously have fewer fighting populations, but the battle damage is not as large as imagined!
"Very resilient!!" Li Wei'an couldn't help but slap the table and said loudly: "The Terran troop class data setting is very good!" The machine gunners, though fragile, together with the fire bats, organized a wall for the rear tanks! The Zerg battle damage ratio is extremely high! ”
Long Qi couldn't help but say: "The data of the tank is very good, the attack interval is long, but the attack power is extremely strong. Provides a powerful firepower output for the Terrans...... Machine guns, tanks, fire bats, and tech balls, the stats of these classes are ...... Almost perfect! ”
After speaking, he was stunned.
Perfect...... It's a word I haven't said in years.
Today...... I actually used it on a newcomer's first game!
But......
He really couldn't pick out the stat settings of these three classes!
In this battle, the Terrans lost.
But the Zerg are not having a good time either!
The Zerg spent more resources to build troops, but the Terrans fought with fewer resources.
However, the Zerg still have troops! Although he can't rush to the base of the Terrans, he still grasps the initiative!
The two players have been concentrating, while all the employees in the audience are talking frantically and trying their best to record.
"Perfect data...... The attrition of troops on the front line and the creation of troops in the back are almost balanced! ”
"The troops of the two major races are not much worse, the Zerg is better because the number of troops is cheaper, and the Terran is better because the troops are well matched and the quality is higher...... Oh my God, as the game progresses, the racial characteristics are not only not blurred, but more and more distinct! ”
This is set ......
Really invincible!
Just when the two sides were fighting on the map, it was as if they were seeing a real war!
The charm of data is fully revealed! There was no crushing, only the two sides constantly mobilized their troops to rush to each other, and the rear was constantly replenishing troops!
After the fight, the two sides returned to the situation of attacking and defending, the Zerg took the initiative but could not rush into the defense of the human race, the human beings did not have much living force, but there were sharp weapons and tanks to defend the city, and they could also sit back and relax.
That's the scariest thing - this game completely explains what it means to fight a war and fight an economy!
Li Wanjun only felt that his lips were dry, and he was sure once again that this must be a classic that transcends the times!
And the data setting perfectly shows its charm!
"The battle ahead, after the battle, both sides did not collapse! This shows that the building-construction time-production time has formed a perfect closed loop! ”
Where's the game?
This is simply a microscopic local war!
"It's like this for both races...... There are no defects...... W-How is this possible!! ”
Thinking of this, he irritated and lost his fingers in his hair.
It's just a living ghost to see!
"The data of any game is called up again and again!"
"But the data is like imprinted in Kong Fang's mind! Take it out and you're ready to go! ”
"Or did he actually debug it a lot in private?"
"It's ...... It's a glimpse into the future! When the game was first created, I saw it in its entirety! ”
"It's like...... It's like just taking it out! ”
What an exaggeration!
