After the tactical drinking was over, Ken Akanishi said to the president, "The current needs don't seem to be very clear, so I suggest that the president pre-study first, and try to understand the program first."

Then, set up the project team as soon as possible.

If the planner can have a more explicit and specific requirements document, we can also start developing it.

There may still be no bottom now. ”

As the veteran of the company, plus the predecessor of Qing Zhiyuan, Akanishi Ken is already an old fritter.

The president's decision is almost irrefutable, unless you have very good reasons to convince him.

However, when Akanishi Ken went to pour water, he thought about this problem carefully, and almost discussed the problem with Qing Zhiyuan, and the one who was finally persuaded was himself.

And after this operation just now, Akanishi Ken has already understood Qing Zhiyuan's strategic intentions, and at this time, he is undoubtedly asking for trouble for himself by refuting the president through [the program is incapable].

Qing Zhiyuan's code level is not low, and it is not clear how the president will figure out how to implement it at that time, and Ken Akanishi, as a program boss, can't hold his face.

So after drinking water tactically this time, Ken Akanishi almost sorted out the context of his future work.

Instead of going against the president, it's better to follow him, and then make some specific suggestions-

For example, planning first, and the process is good to start after the specific needs are tactically delayed.

"Well, okay."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

Ken Akanishi's attitude is impeccable, and you're embarrassed to say anything more.

And planning first is the consensus in the industry.

To build a house, you have to draw drawings first, let alone make games.

Today, Qing Zhiyuan came to Ken Akanishi and Taiji Sakata, mainly to let them have a bottom in their hearts.

After sending off the program and art director, Qing Zhiyuan was not idle, and immediately called Shinji Mikami and Gen Xubuchi to the conference room.

……

"Shooters?"

Hearing this name, Shinji Mikami immediately came to his senses, and his eyes lit up.

Shooters were actually born quite early.

can even be traced back to 1984 Ren Heaven red and white machine on the duck fighting,

At that time, in order to simulate the hunting scene, Ren Tianten even developed a separate electron gun for this game as a targeted attack weapon for aiming.

It's just that in principle, it's completely reversed, it's not the duck that is aimed at but the gun itself, and when the cursor coincides, the electronic signal is sent to the electron gun to complete the shooting.

The game was a milestone, and it was an unexpected success even though it was meant to simulate a real-life UFO game.

This also shows that there are a lot of potential users who like shooting games, but so far there are no very good shooting games to tap this part of the players.

And now, what Qing Zhiyuan has to do is such a thing.

After listening to Qing Zhiyuan's idea, Shinji Mikami only felt that the fire in his heart was ignited all of a sudden.

"Well, it's really not very convenient to shoot with a handle, and many times you have to predict in advance where to wait for the monster to walk into the shooting range, but with a mouse...... Sensitivity and accuracy will be greatly improved.

I don't know if I can make a pretty good shooting game. Shinji Mikami pondered.

Seeing that this guy was interested, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Qing Zhiyuan also intended to hand it over to him.

After all, Mikami is the Hydra master who developed the "Resident Evil" series in his previous life.

However, Shinji Mikami only thought about it for a while, and soon thought about many questions.

"Can the program agree to us doing this project?" Shinji Mikami said, "This platform is a bit big, and the games we made before were all suitable consoles. ”

"Actually, it's pretty much the same." Qing Zhiyuan said, "It is not a big deal to change from the fc of Rentendo to Sega MD, and then to Sony PS, and now to the computer for development. ”

Also, many programs are easier to develop on a computer.

"Well, then I'm relieved."

Shinji Mikami nodded.

"Do you have any requirements for this shooting game from the president?"

"Well, there are a few requirements, you can play on the basis of what I said."

Don't look at the project to be established, but the president's project is never simple, and many times the span is very large, almost jumping from one game type to another, or it is cross-platform.

The programs are complaining.

Now it can only be regarded as a preliminary approximation, including Shinji Mikami himself, who intuitively thinks that it is good to make shooting games on the computer, but I don't know where to start for a while if I really want to start.

For Qing Zhiyuan, pulling people up is the first step, indicating that the game can start to prepare.

But there are also many remaining problems.

First of all, Counter-Strike is definitely not going to work.

Qing Zhiyuan didn't want to completely copy Half-Life, and more importantly, he didn't even know what the main plot of Half-Life was, after all, when he grew up, this game was already an ancient game.

So the game needs to be repackaged.

But that's fine, a brand new game.

"There are a couple of features that are very clear." Qing Zhiyuan knocked on the blackboard and said.

"First of all, it's a shooter."

Uh-huh.

Shinji Mikami nodded.

The void abyss next to him complained in his heart, isn't this sentence nonsense?

You're definitely going to make a shooter, don't you emphasize that we can make it a galgame?

"And it has to be 3D, first-person shooter mode."

Qing Zhiyuan said with his hands together and gestured, "It is equivalent to the position of the camera in our eyes, what we can see is the gun and the scene in front of us, and the field of vision can be rotated, but we should also try to simulate the real human perspective." ”

"Well, Wolfenstein is like that." Shinji Mikami took over and said.

In 1992, an obscure game swept 386 computers around the world, and this was the originator of FPS games - Wolfenstein 3D.

The game pioneered a new way of exploring the map and killing enemies from your own perspective, which came to be known as FPS, or first-person shooters.

Of course, although this game claims to be a 3D game, it is actually just a pseudo-3D real texture effect made by a ray tracing algorithm.

DOOM, Duke Doom and many other classic games were born under this algorithm, and FPS games are based on this game.

Computer games in '92 are actually relatively close, and people like Shinji Mikami, who has a special focus on Western games, will naturally not let it go.

And knowing that the company is going to develop a 3D game, and "Wolfenstein 3D" still has a 3D in it, Mikami must be studying it.

It can only be said that Shinji Mikami has a heart.

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for two seconds, then nodded, "Yes, that's right." ”

Although I don't know if the Wolfenstein in his memory is the same as Mikami, but the Wolfenstein series is also a fairly successful FPS game, which is certainly true.

"Secondly, the level of technology in the game should be modern. The guns and shooting feel are as authentic as possible. ”

Like the skill of the watchman's ass, or a futuristic battle royale...... With the current level of hardware, it simply can't support it, and the cost of getting started is too high for players.

Now players haven't even gotten their hands on the orthodox smooth FPS game, so you're going to have to let them do some bells and whistles, or run poison or something, isn't this embarrassing for the fat tiger?

So as the company's first shooting game, it's better to be a little simpler.

"Okay president."

Shinji Mikami recorded it in a small notebook.

His idea for Qing Zhiyuan was to raise his hands in approval.

The world itself has its own very unique charm, and it is not easy to do this kind of thing with guns, and it is not easy to be able to feedback the functions and feel of the guns in the existing world in the game, and to do it well.

Shinji Mikami is taking notes, and Gen Xubuchi is also taking notes.

But the more he recorded, the deeper his brow wrinkled.

Xuyuan Xuan looked at the rules and regulations on his notebook:

[First-person shooter.] 】

【Real Weapons】

There's not much room left for you to play.

Seriously, Lao Xuan actually doesn't like this form of propositional composition, especially in a modern context, which is so rigidly framed.

He prefers to be a wild imagination.

Even the previous Demon Hunter gave him much more room to play than this.

But the president clearly asked for "simple" and "true"

How good is this for script writers?

"Just do the most basic shooting battles, and then add some campaign modes as teaching and plot foreshadowing, the core part should be that different players can team up for shooting battles."

Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Huh?!"

Shinji Mikami and Gen Xubuchi looked up in unison.

"Do you want to be a player against the president?"

"Yes, the core of this game has to be multiplayer."

Nani?!

Both men were shocked at the same time.

The number of shooting games developed so far is not much, and the quality is relatively few, but that does not mean that there are no at all.

But no shooter has ever done it in multiplayer.

Including the idea of online battle, Shinji Mikami still learned it from Qing Zhiyuan.

Pokémon's online battle currently supports 2 people.

Like the president is talking about multiplayer now, or a shooting game, Shinji Mikami can't even think of it.

Even just thinking about it was beyond the limits of his cognition.

Seeing that the two people looked confused, Qing Zhiyuan patiently explained:

"To put it bluntly, this game is used to simulate real wars, but small-scale operations."

"Look at it."

Qing Zhiyuan asked Lao Xuan to stand up, make a posture with a gun, ambush behind him, and hunch his waist in front of him, doing shooting movements.

He raised his head and looked at Mikami, "Mikami, what does your perspective look like?" ”

"My perspective ......"

Mikami thought for two seconds and replied truthfully, "The table, the president, and Wada, who is squatting in the back." I can probably see that much from my vantage point, and you have a lot more of a field of view in front of you.

It seems that Wada in the back is a little small. ”

"Yes!"

Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously, and then asked Lao Xuan with a smile, "Hetian, what is your perspective?" ”

Lao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and responded, "I can only see the president's buttocks, and Mikami, who is blocked by you, with a table next to it, and two chairs against the wall in the distance." ”

"Excellent!"

Qing Zhiyuan straightened up and asked with a smile, "So do you understand?" ”

"Different computers, the field of vision is also different, to put it bluntly, it's still the same sentence-

Simulate a real human vision. ”

"And to follow the 3D principle of near big and far small, the invisible part that is blocked is really invisible, and there must be some [real unspoken rules] in the game"

"Unspoken rules?" Shinji Mikami and Gen Xuyuan frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Hmm." Qing Zhiyuan explained, "For example, the wall itself has a blocking function, which not only blocks the player's vision, but also blocks the player's passage, and at the same time, bullets are impenetrable. ”

"This is called a real physical collision." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"And then, there's the table."

"Wooden tables can be broken and can't resist bullets, so bullets can penetrate the table and hit the enemy."

"In fact, there are many more, and summarizing and refining these physical rules is a very important task for project planners in the future."

The game looks simple, but it's actually quite complicated to do.

It's not that God says there will be light.

First of all, you have to know what light is, what are the characteristics of light, the speed of light, the frequency of vibration, the wave-particle duality...... These are all things that can only be achieved by filling them in completely.

And developing a new game is the process of filling in this content.

Mikami nodded, understood.

However, as long as he thought of such things as [Vision], [Occlusion], and [Physical Collision], he couldn't help but sweat for the program apes.

How?

Just a slight glance in this direction reaches a shocking level of difficulty.

……

Terrible.

It's horrible.

Is this something that people can do?

Shinji Mikami couldn't help but wonder if he had the ability to do a good job.

However, after glancing at the president, my heart immediately calmed down.

It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, as long as the president has the ability.

Moreover, from the day Mikami joined the company, he had a faint feeling -

There's no game in this world that the president won't do.

Even down to the program's functions, the president can solve it easily, as if he already has the answer and is waiting for you to suddenly lend a hand when you are desperate.

The bottomless president is even more terrifying.

On the other side, Xuyuan Xuan's face was twisted like a chrysanthemum.

Good guys, [Shooting Game] [Real] [Simple], and now [Multiplayer Battle] has been added

He really doesn't have to think about how to implement it and how to put forward requirements for the program like Mikami, but-

These conditions are too dead, not just dancing in shackles, it's like nailing him to a coffin and dancing.

"The rest is the problem of game packaging. Although it is a shootout and shooting, it is better not to use a realistic background, and it is also best not to let players from either side play the heinous bad guys.

This is a test of the script writer's skills. ”

At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan looked at the void abyss Xuan who was speechless.

The latter couldn't help but chrysanthemum tighten.

“emmm…… In this way, there is only a limit to what can be written. Lao Xuan bit the tip of his pen and didn't dare to look at Qing Zhiyuan's eyes.

Pain, pain.

Kill me, Lord.

……
