Chapter 453: It's Work
After understanding that this was a store opening simulation game, Huang Ping began to carefully check the settings in the game.
At present, the game trend on the market is meat pigeons, and several meat pigeon games are relatively popular.
And the meat pigeon game has the characteristics of easy to update, easy to produce results, etc. Even if the game is not very brilliant at the beginning, you can continue to update the reputation of the game and make the sales of the game continue to rise.
The game is like this, not all of it, and the subsequent updates and optimizations are also a huge part, and part of the reason is related to the increasing cost of game production.
But the boss's game is different.
He's always been at the top of his game.
Not only that, but the boss can also arrange the easter eggs in the game, prepare the follow-up gameplay, and prepare all kinds of interesting settings, so that players can have a lot of fun.
Someone once analyzed that Fangcheng is actually quite simple to make games.
Add some good settings, add some art, add some content, and add some excellent AI, and then you're good to go.
But the problem is that everyone understands the truth, but if you can't do it, you can't do it.
Even if you sell your ancestral grave, you can't do it.
Gathering his divergent thoughts, Huang Ping shifted his attention back to the game in front of him.
While Huang Ping was thinking, someone from his shop had already come.
The other man looked like a World War II veteran, wearing a gray tweed coat, a gas mask on his face, a saber pinned to his waist, and an old-fashioned rifle on his back.
They walked in in groups of three, with neat steps, as if they were the same person.
However, unlike its solemn appearance, its eyes under the gas mask are very clear, and even a little shy.
After standing in front of Huang Ping, the leader said, "Excuse me, is there anything for sale here?" ”
Huang Ping was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened the item menu under the interface, and found that he could sell very few things.
The game provides initial funds to purchase items, and if the total value of the principal and items in the store is low, you can also apply for a subsidy from the system to prevent players from getting stuck.
After a quick glance at the items, he said to the soldier in front of him, "Some food, but it may not be too tasty." Drinking water, as well as some clothing. ”
"Okay, but what about the price?"
"Hmmm......"
After thinking for a while, Huang Ping decided to make a small profit and give the other party a price slightly higher than the cost price.
"Ten yuan for one kilogram of food, two yuan for one kilogram of water, and other clothes depend on what style you want."
This price made the soldier in front of him stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded, for fear that Huang Ping would change his mind.
"We want 300 kilograms of food and the same weight of water, can you supply us tonight?"
"No, it's right now."
Choosing to buy, Huang Ping saw that the purchase icon and progress bar appeared on his panel, and there were corresponding tips below: [The more the total mass of the purchased items, the slower the purchase speed. Some research technology can make this faster. 】
This setting makes Huang Ping feel more immersive, and he also feels that he has really become the manager of a store and is running his own small store.
This is the case with games, often a simple detail can make players feel good, and then they are willing to invest time and energy in the game.
Hearing Huang Ping say that it was okay now, the three soldiers immediately stood in place and waited silently.
However, they found that Huang Ping did not take any action, and they were silent for a few minutes before asking, "Aren't you going to pick up the goods?" ”
"It's already being taken."
“…… Oh. ”
After a moment of silence, they were surprised to find that the shelves that had been empty just now were suddenly filled with goods, and the simply packaged food was displayed on the shelves, filling the small store.
Looking at this bizarre scene, the soldier commander was silent for a while, and his tone involuntarily brought some respect: "Are you a cultivator?" ”
It was a bit strange to say the word cultivator from the other party's mouth, but it was already so mixed and matched here, so Huang Ping didn't feel anything.
So, he immediately said, "No, it's just an ordinary store manager." ”
“…… That's right. I see, you don't want to give your name. Okay, I'll call you the store manager in the future. This is money, please keep it. ”
Accepting the money handed over by the other party, Huang Ping saw that the soldier was carrying six hundred kilograms of goods on his shoulders alone, and his body balance did not change at all, and he walked out with firm steps.
Standing at the door, he stopped, and then said, "Store manager, I feel that your store will have a great future in the future." So it's a good idea to come up with a good name for your store. ”
"Okay, I will."
After sending off the first batch of customers, Huang Ping found that he did not have a name when he entered the game.
Writing down this need, Huang Ping felt that the AI made by Fang Cheng was becoming more and more humane.
I actually put forward the demand.
In this way, there will be no need for people to test the game in the future, and the game maker only needs a batch of AI to help with the test, which will greatly reduce the development cost and production cycle of the game.
But that's the boss's own patent, so it's up to the boss himself.
With the first amount of start-up money, Huang Ping began to check the use of the game's currency.
Simulation management games are divided into several categories, among which there are basically no escaping a few formulas related to stores.
Either it is the type of breakthrough, players need to break through the levels one by one, and the representative works include "Daddy's Burger Restaurant", "There Is a Street Here" and so on.
Enhance the player's desire to play by constantly developing new levels, but generally playing in the back is like a war, and the hand speed of not many years can't cope with the subsequent level challenges.
The other type is regional management, which continues to develop in a specific place, and continuously improves its power through the accumulation of funds and technology, but in the later stage, it will also encounter the exhaustion of game content development, and players will fall into the situation of continuous accumulation of funds, resulting in the exhaustion of players' interest and retreat.
On top of this, there are various variants, such as "Skyline", which focuses on an inappropriate person, and "Alchemy Workshop" series, which focuses on the plot, and there are many places that can be excavated.
And Fang Cheng's new game should be the latter, so how will the boss avoid the follow-up situation?
Opening the game's scientific research and development list, Huang Ping understood what the boss did.
Just let the player have something to play all the time.
Simple and crude, but again a practice that no one else can imitate.
The game's scientific research list is quite large, and the different goods alone are divided into categories such as "food", "weapons", "clothes", "scooters", etc., and each category has different subcategories.
The packaging of food can be more refined, the taste of food can be better, and the cost can also be continuously studied through research, so that players can make more profits.
Not only that, but you can also develop new food menus, and even create new recipes through free mixing, making the game much more playable and explorable.
Seeing this thing, Huang Ping felt that Fang Cheng seemed to be stuffing a world into this game, so that players could always have something to play.
After giving it a try, Huang Ping found that the food here was researched very quickly, and he could study it if he had the money.
And when the item has been researched to a certain extent, new items can appear, and then continue to research.
Different items can also be mutated, and the mutated items will have new attributes, and the randomness is very strong, so that players will have different characteristics and different randomness every time they play.
But does this make the game too professional?
But after seeing the staffing, Huang Ping found himself worried.
In the early and middle stages of the game, you can start your own assembly line in the basement, and players only need to set up the assembly line by themselves, and then they can automatically research, automatically replenish, and make everything automated.
At that time, players can also continue to research and develop items, cross-combining items from different industries to create newer and more interesting items.
Just imagining it, Huang Ping felt that it was not good to be excited!
Huge game content, easy-to-use mode, from quantitative to qualitative change of each node, this game fully demonstrates the game concept of Fangcheng, that is, with a large number of exquisite game content to feed players to the full.
After carefully feeling the content of the game, Huang Ping found that a store game can be so rich and interesting.
Worthy of the boss!
Not only Huang Ping, but the rest of the studio also started playing the game, and then a problem was discovered......
This game is so good!
After selling something, you can get currency, and then you can start researching and getting better things, and the constant feedback will make people unconsciously immersed in the flow, and their minds are full of "research one more and I can open a new item".
The variety of NPCs in the game is also a great feedback point, and when they know that they have the item they want, their reaction comes to life, and some NPCs who get the much-needed item sometimes cry with joy.
In addition to giving money as a reward, they will occasionally send something new, and sometimes some new items or decorations will appear when they are researched, so that the game is full of positive feedback at all times.
From the beginning of contact, Xiaodouzi couldn't close his mouth, and his eyes were full of expressions like discovering a new continent, and he kept playing.
Even monkeys who don't like this kind of slow-paced game are addicted to it, scratching their ears and cheeks from time to time, and occasionally pulling Huang Ping past to ask some questions.
Although there are no fierce battles and no ups and downs of the plot, the simulation game has its own unique slow charm, and this game undoubtedly takes this point to the extreme.
Moving his fingers, Huang Ping felt that his fighting spirit had also risen.
Come on, boss, I won't let you down!
Since the numerical experience in the simulation game is extremely important, Xiaodouzi became a key part of this project.
In order to make the game better, Xiaodouzi racked his brains every day, constantly testing various data, and after half a month, it became as if he had just wandered back.
Looking at such a little bean, Fang Cheng felt that this kid seemed to be pushing himself too hard.
Looking at each other kindly, Fang Cheng said, "You have worked hard during this time, do you want any reward?" ”
Xiaodouzi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Overtime ......"
"Don't even think about it."
"Then there is none. Boss, I'm going to get back to work, don't bother me, can you? ”
Looking at the desireless little bean, he returned to his place, and began to search for the question "how to reward employees".
However, after looking around, he found that he had already used the methods he could use, and there was basically nothing left.
Leaning back in his chair, he found that how to reward employees was also a problem.
A month later, the game was largely developed.
During this time, the game review body led by Mr. Shen has been established.
It's a bit of a difficult job, and the pressure from above and below coexists, making it very difficult for them to walk every step of the way.
The existence of the review body will undoubtedly take away some people's cake, but now the domestic policy is biased towards the development of the game, and the review team is conducive to the development of the game, so I can only watch this group be established.
And according to the characteristics of the country, once an organization is established, it is quite difficult to remove it, but this does not mean that others will not make small moves, so you must be careful with every game.
And the pressure below is even greater.
A large number of games need to be reviewed, and some game manufacturers have changed their tricks to get their games approved, but their current manpower is limited, and it would be good to be able to get a game done in a week.
Teacher Shen, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by someone forcefully, and he stood up like a zombie without being instructed by the other party, and walked to the computer by himself, showing the extraordinary self-management ability of an old social animal.
After installing the new game, he yawned and asked, "What about the newcomer?" ”
"Two came, but after seeing the work status here, I didn't even hit the resignation report, so I ran away." A half-bald man beside him said weakly.
"Young people now...... I was ......"
"Don't mention you back then!" The people around him said angrily, "You used to run to the toilet to sleep by yourself when no one was around." That time you slept straight for a day, we all ran away from you, and the job postings were released. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Teacher Shen asked suspiciously.
"Even if I die, I will engrave this on my tombstone so that people will know what the sanctimonious Teacher Shen is like!"
Just as he was about to refute, a voice sounded from behind: "If you have time to chat, it's better to hurry up and review some new games." I've been flooded with phone calls today, all in the hope that we can review it soon. Either cry poor, or hint that you can touch me. Am I short of money? Who to look down on? ”
"You're fine, you don't know about the game I reviewed today. It actually made a small interactive movie, if I knew who the other party was, I would have to give the other party two punches! ”
"That's it, show me in a while, and I'll criticize it with you."
The chat made the veteran gamers here a little more comfortable, but they sighed again when they saw more and more games to be reviewed.
Frustrated, Mr. Shen returned to his position, and found that a new need had been raised.
Originally, he was going to put this request in the pending review folder, but after seeing the sender, he felt that his sleepiness was gone, and the whole person was refreshed.
Fangcheng Studio!
It's a new game!
Looking around, Mr. Shen found that no one noticed him, so he quietly chose to install it, and then started the game.
It's work, it's work, it's work!
After completing the psychological construction for himself, Mr. Shen played with peace of mind.
