Chapter 460: Why Is This Game So Hard?
This senior's name is Shi Donghui, and he now has a small game company in Anseong.
Now that smartphones have become popular, Shi Donghui stepped on the tuyere of mobile games back then, which is why he has his current career.
But if you want to go further, it's a little more difficult.
The game developed by Shi Donghui's company is not the kind of game that is popular, not to mention a phenomenon, and the mobile game industry is also very volatile today, and several projects developed by Shi Donghui later ended in failure.
The entire company is now alive on a few of the company's old games.
Today, Shi Donghui is writing a new game plan on the computer.
He is ready to make a game of pop-up, and although there are already similar products on the market, the pop-and-pop model is enduring.
The disadvantage is that it is a little difficult to make money, and the game is a casual game, everyone can play anyone's house, and there is no need to play yours.
Shi Donghui is also too anxious now, knowing that this project is a bit problematic, so he can only do it hard.
At this time, his mobile phone rang, and it showed an unfamiliar number.
Shi Donghui put down his work and picked up the phone.
He estimated which loan company had called him again.
Ever since he downloaded a loan app and browsed it, the calls haven't stopped.
was about to hang up after listening, but the person on the other side of the phone said, "Hello Senior Shi, I'm Xu Ye." ”
Shi Donghui was stunned for a moment, and then remembered.
Ma Qiang also called him this morning, saying that the big star Xu Ye was looking for a game company.
Xu Ye's name is too famous now, and there are many Xu Ye's songs in Shi Donghui's song list, and his personal favorite is "Old Boy".
Shi Donghui was quite puzzled, what could a big star do when he came to him.
The entertainment industry and the game production circle are not the same circle.
Not to mention finding Xu Ye to endorse them, they can't afford to hire Xu Ye if they sell Shi Donghui.
To say that in reality, Shi Donghui is also the first time he has come into contact with a star, and he has a different feeling.
I just feel that there is something wrong with that sentence just now.
"Xu Ye, hello, Teacher Ma has already told me." Shi Donghui said with a smile.
"Senior Shi, that may have to delay you for a while, are you free now?" Xu Ye asked.
Shi Donghui said: "If you are free, you can say anything." ”
He muttered in his heart: "Xu Ye is not the same as what is rumored on the Internet, this is not normal, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Normal people don't communicate like this, and there is nothing wrong with Xu Ye's tone of speech, and he is polite.
In Shi Donghui's impression, a big star of this level has a lot of pomp.
"Xu Ye is really a good star." Shi Donghui made an evaluation in his heart.
On the phone, Xu Ye's voice came.
"Senior Shi, then I'll be straight."
Shi Donghui said: "Please speak." ”
"Senior Shi, that's right, I have a few game ideas, and I want to ask your company to help make them."
As soon as Shi Donghui heard this, his excitement calmed down.
His ears were calloused.
Just the employees in the company, every day someone says that I have a great game idea in mind.
But in the end, after everyone held a meeting to argue, they all vetoed it.
There are even some ideas that the people who came up with them have rejected them themselves after they have calmed down.
In this creative industry, there are so many ideas that the key is to be able to turn them into products.
Shi Donghui was also not good at discouraging Xu Ye's enthusiasm, and asked, "What kind of idea, let's hear about it?" ”
"Historian ......"
As soon as Xu Ye said the title, Shi Donghui finally sensed that something was not right.
Why do you call me Senior Shi every time you say anything.
Senior Shi sounds like it tastes good!
You kid definitely did it on purpose!
Shi Donghui was speechless, he understood that Xu Ye was really wrong!
Shi Donghui directly interrupted Xu Ye: "Actually, you don't have to call me senior every time. ”
"Okay, Senior Shi." Xu Ye said.
Shi Donghui was even more convinced when he heard this, Xu Ye did it on purpose!
On the other end of the phone, Xu Ye didn't call Senior Shi anymore, but went straight to the point.
"I've already asked my friend to make a game out of one of the ideas, why don't I send it to you first, and you can play it?" Xu Ye asked.
The game he wants to send to Shi Donghui is a game at the bottom of the box in his system warehouse, "Sheep".
This game was on Earth, because of the special period at that time, and the second level that was almost impossible to pass, it was frantically complained by netizens on the Internet.
This game mode is also destined to be short-lived and not long-lasting.
But as a torturous little game, this game certainly lives up to its name.
Xu Ye has never had a suitable opportunity to release this game before, but this time he happened to be online with Shi Donghui, and "Never Expected" was about to be announced, so he simply sent this game.
If you send a game, you must still hand it over to the game company.
Shi Donghui was surprised: "It's already been made?" ”
He really didn't expect Xu Ye's efficiency to be so high.
"If you want to turn an idea into a game, it's not just a friend who can do it, I guess it costs money to find someone to do it, it's good to have money." Shi Donghui sighed.
He can probably think of it, it's definitely not a big production, it's probably just a casual game.
Big-made games are not something Xu Ye can handle.
After the two added friends to each other, Xu Ye directly sent Shi Donghui the software installation package of "Sheep".
On Earth, "Sheep a Sheep" is a mini-program game, and it is networked.
Xu Ye used the system to generate a stand-alone version of the installation package.
After receiving the installation package, Shi Donghui immediately chose to install.
"The installation package is only a few dozen MB, and it seems that it is indeed a casual game."
Shi Donghui waited quietly.
The game was installed in no time.
There is an icon with a sheep drawn on Shi Donghui's mobile phone desktop, and the name of the game is written underneath, "Sheep is a Sheep".
"It's a weird name."
Shi Donghui clicked on the icon, and the loading speed was very fast, and he entered the game interface after a few seconds.
In the game interface, there is a green lawn with four sheep spinning in circles on the lawn.
Above is the name of the game, and below is a button that says "Start Game".
The interface of the whole game can be said to be very simple.
Shi Donghui clicked to start the game.
In the picture, a flock of sheep runs past the screen, and when the flock runs past, it enters the first level.
"It's a pretty interesting transition." Shi Donghui commented.
The appearance of the first level was also shown in front of him.
There are nine pairs of small squares stacked on top of each other, with grass, carrots or corn painted on them.
Underneath there is an empty slot.
Shi Donghui clicked on one of the small squares, and the small square entered the empty slot below.
He then clicked on two small squares of the same pattern, and when he had collected three of the same small squares in the empty slot, the three small squares disappeared in unison.
In an instant, Shi Donghui understood the gameplay of this game.
"Isn't this just Pop Fun, it looks much more interesting than the old version of Pop Fun!"
This kind of elimination method has not been seen in the market by Shi Donghui.
"This idea was actually thought up by Xu Ye, it's okay!"
Shi Donghui now feels that the plan on his computer is a piece of, and it is simply not interesting compared to the entertainment he is playing now.
Shi Donghui's playfulness is also up, and he is ready to play a few more levels to see what this game is all about.
"The whole mode is most likely the same as other entertainment, taking the way of gradually increasing the difficulty, and the more you get to the later levels, the more difficult it becomes."
Shi Donghui thought as he tapped on the screen.
The first level can be said to be not the slightest difficulty, and it can be eliminated with a casual click.
Soon, Shi Donghui eliminated the last set of small squares.
As soon as the screen changes, new levels appear on the screen.
After seeing this new level, Shi Donghui almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"Nima, do you call this the second level?"
There are only eighteen blocks in the first level, but the blocks in the second level are densely layered, and they almost fill the entire screen.
At this moment, a prompt box pops up on the screen.
[The difficulty soars!] 】
After seeing this prompt box, the unyielding strength in Shi Donghui's heart also came up.
"I, Shi Donghui, a senior game practitioner, can I still pass the second level of a match? Impossible, absolutely impossible! ”
Match game, no matter how you say it, it's just a match, how difficult can you be?
Shi Donghui didn't rush this time, but stared at these small squares and analyzed.
"Look at a lot, in fact, it's not difficult, the small squares in the last level are stacked in two layers, in this level, the most layered are the blocks in the lower left corner and the lower right corner, and the blocks in other places are stacked in three layers at most, and the blocks that can be seen are eliminated, which is actually very simple."
With this idea in mind, Shi Donghui began to play.
The background music of this game is "Ordinary Disco" that Xu Ye sang before.
With the music accomplished, after a few minutes, Shi Donghui finally clicked on the last square he saw.
"After this block is eliminated, the bottom must be gone!"
However, when he clicked to eliminate, there was actually another block under this block.
"Huh?!"
Shi Donghui was stunned.
Good guys, the blocks aren't all misplaced, why are you not in the right place!
Who knew you had a block underneath you!
"Don't panic, there's still a chance, so the game can be fun."
Shi Donghui continued to play.
After a few more minutes, Shi Donghui shouted, "Nima! How can there be anything down here! ”
At this time, Shi Donghui has gradually risen to the top in disco music.
Fortunately, in this version of the game that Xu Ye sent him, the game props can be used unlimitedly.
Shi Donghui has used the three game items countless times, but he finds that the hope of clearing the level is getting farther and farther away from him.
"I can't get over it at all! Who the made this game! ”
After another failure, Shi Donghui let out an unwilling roar.
The sound even spread from his office to the staff workstation outside, and a group of employees looked at each other.
"What's wrong with the boss?"
"I don't know, it's a game, right?"
"The boss is very good at playing games, and there are games that he can't pass?"
After another few minutes, Shi Donghui reopened it.
He was not a believer.
Before you know it, an hour has passed.
Finally, Shi Donghui passed the second level.
There was a layer of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were still fixed on the phone screen.
A new prompt is displayed on the screen.
"You've cleared the game."
When the tooltip disappears, the game returns to the main screen.
Shi Donghui's mind was full of question marks.
"That's it?"
In order to pass the second level, he already knows how many times he repeated it and how many props he used.
That's the result?
You know, in game design, if a level is difficult, the player has to feel a sense of accomplishment after passing it.
The game itself is already outrageous, the first level is the level of kindergarten, and the second level directly becomes the level of college students.
It's not playing a game, it's being played by a game.
As a result, the second level of such a difficult level was cleared, and the game hasn't given any feedback yet.
"This is not a game that normal people can come up with, it is indeed very Xu Ye!"
Shi Donghui took a sip of water and began to think about it after a while.
Scolding and scolding, but the design of this game is still level.
The interface of the whole game is very refreshing, the focus is also prominent, and the difficulty of getting started is small.
The payment point is also obvious, which is the use of props in the game.
Shi Donghui dares to guarantee that if he is shameless and fills up the payment points, he will definitely make a lot of money.
"Xu Ye actually came up with this?"
Shi Donghui immediately respected Xu Ye.
You, a star in the entertainment industry, are you going to steal the job of our game company now?
Thinking of this, Shi Donghui called Xu Ye.
"Xu Ye, I'm done playing the game, do you want to sell the game to us, or do you plan to go through the cooperation mode?"
Shi Donghui is ready to have a good chat with Xu Ye about the details of cooperation.
He didn't plan to do the match game in his hand, it was far worse than "Sheep".
"Senior Shi, that's the case, I'll give you this game, I don't want money, I still have two game ideas that I need you to help me make, and we'll go through the cooperation and sharing mode for these two games."
Shi Donghui didn't underestimate Xu Ye's idea this time.
After Xu Ye finished telling him on the phone, Shi Donghui's eyes had already lit up.
Both of these games are great ideas and can definitely make a lot of money, and it's a consistent income.
In the end, Shi Donghui asked: "The difficulty of the second level of the sheep is not so difficult." ”
"It's so difficult, this game doesn't need so many levels, just two levels, and the second level is definitely going to be difficult." Xu Ye said.
He's talking about difficulty, not being insurmountable like on earth.
This can be adjusted in the program in the background of the game.
After all, Xu Ye doesn't need to rely on this game to make money for him, and this kind of game is destined to only be popular for a while, so it should be used as a warm-up for the other two games.
Xu Ye and Shi Donghui communicated for a long time before the specific details of the cooperation were determined.
This kind of pure money-making business, Shi Donghui can't stop doing it, he just needs to make the game, and the follow-up proceeds will be distributed to Xu Ye, and Xu Ye will give him a small game for nothing.
"Senior Brother Xu Ye is really a good person." Shi Donghui sighed.
He asked, "Xu Ye, do you want to hang your name on a sheep?" ”
Xu Ye immediately said: "That's not necessary, you just hang your company's name." ”
For this game, Shi Donghui's company also has to carry it to the applet, which is also Xu Ye's suggestion, and Shi Donghui thinks it is quite reliable.
Transferred to the applet, with the help of the users of the penguin chat software, there must be more users of the game, and this kind of mini-game does not take up memory, and it is also convenient to play.
"Okay, then I won't hang your name, I'll ask someone to draw up the contract, and let's sign it when it's ready." Shi Donghui said with a smile.
Xu Ye gave Shi Donghui two game ideas, one is "Temple Run" that once appeared on Earth, and the other is "Plants vs. Zombies".
Even today, there are still a large number of users of these two games.
And these two games also have a linkage in "Never Expected".
Wait until the next day, Xu Ye and Shi Donghui's company will sign the contract.
At this time, Xu Ye was in a film and television base.
Today, the crew of "Never Expected" filmed the last scene.
This scene is also one of the more touching episodes in "Never Expected".
The name of this episode is "Goodbye Daughter Country".
