Chapter 219: Your Next Tower Defense, Why Bother with Tower Defense

This......

Gu Sheng didn't know how to explain to Yan Sheng.

Because the names of both studios are based on "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"!

And there is no JOJO in this world.

So for a while, he didn't know how to answer Yan Sheng's questions.

However!

Just as he was meditating, ready to say a few perfunctory words.

I heard that the little Nezha next to him actually spoke:

"Mr. Yan, we have been working together for so long, you must have heard of our golden spirit,"

"As our foundation, [Gold Experience Studio] is the first studio we established, and we have the most profound understanding and development of the gold spirit,"

"We're committed to bringing gamers a revolutionary gaming experience, the Golden Experience, and that's where we come from,"

"AS FOR [CHAIN FINGERS STUDIO], STICKY FINGERS IN ENGLISH, FROM THE ALBUM OF THE SAME NAME BY THE ROLLING STONES,"

"I think Mr. Gu means that he wants to pay tribute to the creed of 'rolling stones do not grow moss', and hope that our team will always maintain vitality and forward momentum,"

"AT THE SAME TIME, STICKY FINGERS LITERALLY TRANSLATES TO 'PETTY THEFT',"

"Although the name is petty and petty, it is intended to be a ...... in the game circle"

Speaking of which.

Shen Miaomiao shrugged her shoulders and raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"A little metaphor from a supernova."

Let's talk about it.

Shen Miaomiao stole and handed Gu Sheng a look, a pair of big eyes were shining, and she raised her eyebrows slyly following his appearance: How about it, I understand you!

Gu Sheng, on the other hand, was dumbfounded.

I'm blanching! Awesome!

Didn't Xiao Nezha study finance?

How can reading comprehension be so good?

What kind of royal translator is this?

This answer is delicate and profound, and the side is well-cited and noble.

It's a perfect answer.

There is a kind of beauty that 'the reading comprehension is deepened, but the author doesn't actually think about it so much'.

"Ah...... Right! ”

Gu Sheng was a shameless person, and when he turned around, he nodded to Yan Sheng, affirming Xiao Nezha's full score reading comprehension:

"That's what it means, and at the same time, this is Mr. Shen's hope for the company."

Hissβ€”β€”!!!

Hear it!

Yan Sheng couldn't help but gasp, looking at the pair of beautiful people in front of him, his eyes flashed with approval!

"Good, good, good,"

"The golden experience, the steel chain fingers...... What a name! ”

"Mr. Gu is extremely talented, Mr. Shen is far-sighted, there are two people in the golden wind who sit in the formation, why not grow, and there are two pilots in the Chinese game circle, why not rise,"

"It's an honor to be able to work with Golden Wind!"

Gu Sheng grinned, revealing an embarrassed and polite smile:

"Uh-hehe-hehe, we're honored too, and we're honored to ......"

……

Hmmm-

Waving his hand to see Yan Sheng's car go away, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside him, Shen Miaomiao bumped him with her shoulder: "Hey, how is it?" Is that explanation right just now, isn't it a heart! ”

"yes, that's right, it's not right at all,"

Gu Sheng raised his fingers and praised Xiao Nezha's reading comprehension:

"You let me say that I can't say it so well, Mr. Shen is really far-sighted, his standing is really high, admirable, and he is an example for me to learn!"

"Humph! That'sβ€”"

Gu Sheng's praise made Shen Miaomiao very useful, and she tilted her head with her waist crossed:

"Little comrade can have this ideological consciousness is very high, go, please drink milk tea!"

"Heyβ€”"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng waved his hand:

"Leader, where is the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, it's not that I have a high ideological consciousness, the key is that the leader teaches well!"

"W-I've got goosebumps!"

Shen Miaomiao's scalp was numb, she was busy rubbing her arms, and grinned:

"No wonder my dad made you feel like you're out of your mind, you're so good at sycophancy!"

The game Succubus, Electronic Daji, lives up to its name!

The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked into the drink shop downstairs.

After ordering two cups of milk tea, the two found a window seat and sat down.

"Do you have any ideas for the new project?"

Shen Miaomiao took a sip of milk tea and asked Gu Sheng.

Now there is still a month before the start of the mini game overseas plan, and the time is not short, but it is not long.

If they start working on the project right away, it is completely achievable to develop a small game in a month with outsourcing.

However, if there is too much time delayed in the establishment of the project, the production time will be stretched.

So the top priority is to determine what to make and get the work going.

"Hmm...... I don't have any ideas......

Gu Sheng also took a sip of milk tea, looked out the window, and frowned slightly in thought.

It's not so much that he doesn't have ideas, but that he has too many ideas.

Since we want to make PC and mobile dual-platform interoperable games, the first thing to consider is the requirements and carrying capacity of mobile games.

Because the inclusiveness of PC is far stronger than that of mobile phones, it is necessary to start with the shortcomings of the mobile phone platform when considering dual platforms.

But even then, there are so many options to choose from.

He can make roguelike cards like Slay Spire.

You can do this as a survival strategy game like my war.

You can do simulated management, and you can even do horizontal movements.

In addition, things like Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Ski Adventure, etc., can also be ported from mobile phones to PC.

None of these games are huge, and a month is more than enough.

The options are so varied and overwhelming that you don't know how to choose.

And at this moment, Shen Miaomiao suddenly had a whim, and looked at Gu Sheng with a small face: "Why don't you make me a protective radish?" ”

"Defend the turnips?" Gu Sheng turned his head to look at Xiao Nezha: "That's a Thunderbird game, right?" We do infringement. ”

"It's that type, and you don't have to defend the radish," Shen Miaomiao said: "It's the kind of game that builds a fort to fight small monsters, and you can defend anything." ”

Tower Defense.

There is no doubt that the type of game that defends the carrot is the most standard tower defense game.

That's a good category.

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up, and then asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to do tower defense?" Don't defend your turnips anymore? ”

"Hmm...... It's a bit boring,"

Speaking of this, Shen Miaomiao smacked her lips:

"Whether it's the design of the level, the type of monsters, or even the design and gameplay of the map, it will be the same in the later stage."

The problem that Shen Miaomiao said has actually existed in the domestic game market for a long time.

Since Defend the Carrot is a free game.

Therefore, in order to ensure long-term profitability, the production team has to update the game all the time.

But the problem is that the gameplay of tower defense has now been fixed, no matter how hard the production team tries, it is nothing more than to iterate on the types of monsters and defense towers, and constantly increase the difficulty of the game, such as increasing the monster's HP, shortening the travel distance, setting up scene obstacles, and so on.

However, such an update is only forcibly extending the life of the game, and it is not even an innovation, let alone giving the game a second spring.

Players will only get more and more tired of playing, and then they will reduce the amount of time they play until they lose interest completely.

This process is irreversible and has no solution.

Because that's what all tower defense games do -

Set a route for the monsters to travel, and the player creates towers to attack the monsters and upgrades the towers to defend the target from damage.

This pattern has lasted for as many years as tower defense games have appeared.

In fact, it is very simple to make changes to this fixed game genre.

For example, adding multiple upgrade branches to a tower, each of which has a different effect, and grants it functions such as absorption and fusion when the tower reaches a certain level......

That's right!

I'm talking about "Balloon Tower Defense", which was known as one of the "three major tower defenses" in my previous life!

Gu Sheng's first reaction at the moment was this game.

But on second thought, compared to defending the carrot, although the balloon tower defense has increased in terms of the playability of the defense tower, this innovation is actually not very significant.

The monsters are still following the established route, and the towers are still standing on large corners, or traditional tower defenses.

And the same is true of Kingdom Defense, another of the three major tower defenses.

In this way, there is only the last option of the three major tower defenses......

Gu Sheng smacked his lips secretly.

I'm sorry, because I have so many games in my hands, and almost every genre has one or more epoch-making works.

The game is infinite, but my lifespan is limited, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish the game in the treasure trove of the system in three lifetimes.

So, in terms of game selection, I can only specifically select those king-level works.

I also want to go alone with a 6, but my hands are full of bombs.

Alas...... Sure enough, a systematic life is so unpretentious and boring.

Let's play in groups of four 2s!

"Then don't defend the turnips,"

Gu Sheng took a sip of milk tea, and he already had a certain number in his heart:

"Defend your brains!"

……

"Defend ...... Brain? ”

Next!

In the Golden Wind Conference Room!

Yuki covered his brain with both hands, as if he was afraid that Gu Sheng would eat his brain.

"I don't understand, Director."

Earlier today, Secretary Chu called all the members of the steel chain finger to the conference room for a meeting, saying that there was a project to be handed over to them.

Everyone was very happy to hear it.

After all, it's a newly established studio, and the more idle it is, the more uncomfortable it is (mainly because the salary is too lucrative, and it's not practical to hold the money if you don't work).

Especially Sato and Yuki.

Before the establishment of the Chainfingers, they were originally involved in the production of the "Escape" project.

As a result, the new studio was established, and the people who came directly came to be promoted, became the leader of the studio, and also evacuated the escaped project team.

Suddenly, there was nothing to do, which made both of them very uncomfortable.

Today, I heard that there is a new project planned!

The employees of the Chainfinger Studio were very excited and entered the conference room one after another to wait for the arrangement.

I didn't expect it!

As soon as the director spoke, he asked them to protect their brains!

Everyone was shocked!

Oops, Mr. Gu won't produce some netherworld horror games again, right?

To know!

There are 9 steel chain fingers, and more than half of the members have done PT under Gu Sheng!

The final beta phase of the game was so torturous!

The game I made by myself scared myself half to death, which is really rare in the industry.

Now, the director opened his mouth and aimed at the brains of everyone present, which is really worrying, and everyone is afraid that he has some thoughts in the underworld.

Seeing that everyone looked terrified.

Gu Sheng knew that they were thinking too much.

Hehe smiled:

"Don't be nervous, we're just going to make a little game this time, a tower defense game,"

"A little game to stop zombies and protect your brain."

Hearing this, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and the prototype of this game has already appeared in my mind-

On the winding route, the zombies marched in groups towards the bottom of the pass.

On both sides of the road stand a variety of defense towers.

There are ordinary ammunition, fire-breathing, discharge, and nuclear bombs that need to be unlocked for a fee.

By the way, there are also types of zombies.

Didn't the company launch a zombie-themed survival road before, and moving those special infected people over can not only enrich the fun of the game, but also get the players' feelings bonus.

When the game is made, it won't be Qin Shi Huang flying - win the sky?

Boy!!!

Listening to the discussions of the employees of the Steel Chain Finger Studio, Shen Miaomiao's heart was shocked.

It's really an experienced old fritter!

You don't even need to speak, people can create a comprehensive tower defense game through discussion!

And not only is the theme gameplay all designed to be perfect, but even the aspect of emotional bonus has been thought of.

It can be called a fully automatic game production machine.

Fortunately, this is a new project, and she doesn't have to worry about making a profit because the game sales are too high, anyway, the main project is just a tool list for her to increase the rebate multiplier.

However!

Not waiting for her to nod!

I heard Gu Sheng smile and said: "The idea is good, but unfortunately the homogenization is still relatively serious, and it is not much different from other tower defense games on the market, are there any other ideas?" ”

This......

Hearing this, the members of the Steelchain Fingers were speechless.

Director Gu's words hit the nail on the head.

Serious homogenization is indeed the fatal shortcoming of the plan they have just discussed through gossip.

But the question is, now looking at the tower defense games in the entire game market, all of them do this?

We want to innovate, but where do we start?

Today's tower defense game system is like a poured fortress, strong and solid, and there is no way to start.

If you want to dismantle and modify, it is not easy to say.

"Don't be so limited in your thinking," Seeing this, Gu Sheng smiled: "Your next tower defense, why should it be a 'tower' defense." ”

As he spoke, he saw Gu Sheng on one side, and the remote control in his hand was pressed.

On the projection screen behind him, a game cover appeared!

In the quiet and harmonious town of cartoon art, a street runs through the beginning.

On the right side of the street, green-skinned zombies with saggerent eyes are crooked and comical, some carrying briefcases and some wearing ice cream cones.

On the left side of the street, there is a lot of life, and the plants of different shapes are determined, like loyal little soldiers, guarding the edge of the garden to stop the invasion of zombies.

And at the top of the cover is the name of the game.

It is composed of PLANTS in the color of green plants and ZOMBIES in the texture of tombstonesβ€”β€”

"Plants can also stop zombies, and gardens can also become battlefields,"

Gu Sheng looked at the stunned crowd and spread their hands:

"Relax, let's have a sub-supply of plants vs. zombies."

β€”β€”

PS: Ask for a monthly pass, and the second will be presented later

The lumbar protrusion is really painful, and yesterday I forced myself to code an extra chapter of the manuscript, but the quality could not satisfy me, so I deleted it.

Xiaobu thinks that you can't add more for the sake of adding more, you have to ensure the quality and then the quantity, so I'm sorry to all the readers here, let me update normally this week, wait for me to recuperate a little, and next Monday will add more to all of you and your parents!

Thank you all for your understanding
