Not surprisingly, the amazing results achieved by the cold window hard reading simulator really suppressed Xiao Lu.

And then it's easy.

Now that he knew that the studio had money, although it was not very much, it was definitely enough to make a new game, Xiao Lu quickly got into the working state and made a suggestion as a game planner.

"Self-esteem?"

Several people looked at each other.

"Yes, self-esteem!"

Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled, Xiao Lu hurriedly added: "Our new game, the general framework of Brother Chen has been built. ”

"The player takes on the role of a high school student who has to stay with a relative because he is studying abroad. So I think...... How to maintain your self-esteem as much as possible in the house of bitter relatives is the core gameplay of this game. ”

"Wonderful!" Chen Ba praised.

Xiao Lu really had two brushes, and this time he learned a lesson.

That's right!

Since it's a new game, why don't you still hold on to that damn "stamina" and "learning motivation"?

The idea of digitizing "self-esteem" to reflect the core gameplay of the game is simply wonderful!

"Self-esteem can be understood as a character's health or satiety, and only by maintaining a certain high level can you successfully clear the game."

Xiao Lu continued: "It can also be extended that when the character's self-esteem is too low, it may trigger various BE endings, such as depression and autism, or even ......"

The last sentence, Xiao Lu did not say, but replaced it with the action of hanging.

"This ...... Wouldn't that be too depressing? Yang Dong was a little surprised.

Although Chen Ba has played to the limit in the cold window hard reading simulator, and many of the Be endings are cruel and heart-wrenching, compared to Xiao Luti's Be ending, it can only be said that Chen Ba is still too conservative.

In the game [Cold Window Reading Simulator], the worst and worst ending is that the protagonist is sick, and he is randomized to a terminal illness with a very low probability.

The second is to work hard, but in the end I couldn't change my fate, and I will always be by the old scalper's side, living a life like my father day after day facing the loess with his back to the sky.

When he was playing the Cold Window Reading Simulator before, Yang Dong already felt that some endings were too cruel, which made him panic.

But now, after listening to Xiao Lu's thoughts, he suddenly felt that the Be ending of [Cold Window Reading Simulator] didn't seem to be so blocked.

As a result of the complete rupture of his self-esteem, he felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Not to mention, the game plan also mentions that "the protagonist's parents love the protagonist very much", and he chose to leave his hometown just to earn him college tuition.

As a result, the tuition fee is there, but the son is gone!

it, I can't think about it......

Yang Dong, who felt that if he thought about it again, he would feel uncomfortable for a whole day, shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his mind, and asked: "But this value alone can't support the core gameplay of a game, right?" ”

"That's right!"

Before Xiao Lu could speak this time, Chen Ba took the initiative to answer: "One value alone may not be enough, so I also got a value: pocket money!" ”

"Because it's under the fence, you need to ask for the consent of your temporary guardian for everything you want, what you want to eat, and everything you want to do."

"I didn't expect it before, but now I think that this pocket money can be connected with self-esteem."

Asking for pocket money and being rejected will lower your self-esteem, hoping to get a new pair of sneakers, and being rejected if you want to eat dragon fruit will also lower your self-esteem......

All kinds of events surfaced in Chen Ba's mind, and at this moment, he made a decision.

"The relatives of the protagonist's boarding can't all be bitter and mean people, otherwise there is no way to explain why their family accepts the protagonist's accommodation."

"That's right!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

This doesn't make sense logically, after all, the family is full of bitter and mean people, so they wouldn't have accepted the protagonist's boarding at the beginning, and there must be a very real relative in it.

"Then it's set to stay at my aunt's house, and my aunt is very good to the protagonist, but rarely stays at home because of work."

"Uncle, uncle's parents, cousin and others, all of them did not welcome the arrival of the poor relative of the protagonist, thinking that he was a burden!"

After Xiao Lu added this setting, he said with a smile: "Although it sounds very abstract, but because of my aunt's bad face, I can only express my disgust, which should be very reasonable, right?" ”

"Reasonable!"

Zhang Xiaojuan, who has been listening to everyone's speeches and has never opened her mouth, nodded wildly and said: "Some relatives are like this, all kinds of roundabout ridicule and belittling, and they are called angry people when they speak." ”

Oh! Got a story, huh?

Chen Ba and the three of them looked at Zhang Xiaojuan in unison.

"What do you want me to do? Don't you have such strange relatives in your family? Zhang Xiaojuan asked rhetorically.

"Uh...... Some! ”

Chen Ba and the three of them thought about it, and felt that the words were not rough, everyone should have one or two of these strange relatives.

It's just that I don't usually interact with each other, so I don't think about it for a while.

"Okay, let's not go far."

Chen Ba coughed and quickly stopped the topic: "Back to the game itself, Zhang Xiaojuan is in charge of the art part, which is mainly completed by the outsourcing team. The programming and the plot are up to us, is there a problem? ”

"No problem!"

Everyone shook their heads.

Chen Ba, as the boss of the studio, has arranged specific matters, how can others object?

Besides, this division of labor is also reasonable.

In addition to music and testing, Chen Ba did not arrange specific personnel, and the rest were basically in charge of special personnel.

As a small team with only four people, including the boss, why is the division of labor so detailed?

If you really want to subdivide, then what kind of numerical planning, combat planning, level planning, and plot planning are divided into game planning alone...... Tianba Game Studio is just these four people, and it's not enough to crammed them all!

Small teams really don't ask too much.

Those subdivisions of business and division of responsibilities are basically only available to large teams or even large companies, and a small studio with less than 10 people like this can meet the three major needs of art, planning and programming.

Oh yes......

In terms of game art, studios with less than 30 employees basically don't need to report any expectations, and most of them are outsourced.

It's not big news.

However, a grass platform team with only three or four people like Tianba Game Studio actually does not need to rely on outsourcing in terms of procedures, and all of them are done by themselves, which is big news.

"Are you busy?"

Yang Dong was a little suspicious, one of them was Chen Ba, a programming boss, and the rest were half a bucket of water, could such a combination really finish writing the program of a game?

"It's okay, it's me!"

Don't dare to say anything else, at least in the program, Chen Ba dares to single-handedly challenge others and a whole team.

Even if he called all the client-side development, server-side development, engine development, and tool development, he didn't panic at all.

Don't ask, just ask!
