Chapter 179: Studio Feng Shui Doesn't Work?

For a long time, all kinds of literary and entertainment works like to label the protagonist as "beautiful and miserable" to deepen the sympathy of readers and audiences.

Chen Ba has no prejudice against this.

Because this is an objective fact, the more unsatisfactory the life of the protagonist of games, anime, movies and other works, the more touching it is.

As long as you look closely, it is not difficult to find a very strange point.

That is, in various film and television dramas, the protagonist is either a dead parent or a single-parent family. Luckily, my parents are there, and I have grandparents, but this kind of family is also quarreling and contradictory every now and then, and it is not happy and harmonious at all.

It's weird, isn't it?

It's not that there aren't such examples in reality. Yes, there must be, no matter how outrageous the film and television animation games are, they can't be more magical than reality.

However, it is worth noting that this kind of case is actually a "minority" exception in reality.

But in various TV series and movie works, this has become the standard, and all the families where the protagonist is located must have a moth and must have conflicts and contradictions......

"Dramatization!"

In order to make up for his shortcomings, Chen Ba read a lot of books about the screenwriting profession during this time and enrolled in a lot of professional courses.

So he also has a certain experience in shaping the protagonist of "Beautiful and Miserable".

First of all, the family is not happy.

This is a precondition, as the protagonist can't have a happy family, considering that this is a game, both parents are dead.

In addition to the unhappy family, he also has to bear a certain amount of blood feud as a source of motivation for the protagonist's struggle in the early stage.

Here, Chen Ba set up a fierce beast boss at the level of a demon king.

"In the story, the parents of the male protagonist Chen Yun died at the hands of this fierce beast boss, so Chen Yun tried his best to improve his strength, just to avenge his parents."

This beast boss is an important level boss in the early stage of the game, and only by defeating it can the plot advance to the next chapter and start a new chapter.

"And what about the next phase?"

Xiao Lu asked curiously.

The first stage is to avenge his parents, so after the revenge is avenged, how will the story of the protagonist Chen Yun unfold in the second stage?

"After defeating this beast boss, in the background of the game, Chen Yun is already one of the top martial arts powerhouses in Jiangning Base City."

"A strong man of this level would inexplicably arrange an enemy for him, which is unrealistic and illogical......"

When Chen Ba said this, he threw out a new plot line, that is, to change the map.

Jiangning Base City is still too small.

The male protagonist needs a motivation, so he must go to a wider world, leave this base city, and go to the capital base city.

"You need a reason to change the map.,Then the male sister who was set before can use it.。

"My sister Chen Jia suddenly fell ill, and there was no one to save the entire Jiangning Base City. The male protagonist heard that the medical conditions in the capital base city are better, and there are many strong people in the human race, so he took his sister to the capital for medical treatment. ”

After a few words, Chen Ba arranged a reason for the male protagonist Chen Yun to change the map.

This is a well-reasoned and perfectly justified reason.

In the context of the evolution of all races and the revival of Reiki, it is not very outrageous to set a special disease that requires the "strongest person" to be treated.

Anyway, in a word: this disease needs the strongest to help, and there is no such strong person in Jiangning Base City......

"When I get to the new map, it's definitely not easy to see the strongest and say that he will be moved to save his sister."

Chen Ba continued: "This leads to a series of side quests, and the main quest of the second phase can be summed up in five words: treat my sister!" ”

Avenge your parents and heal your sister!

After completing the main and subsidiary side quests of these two stages, the strength of the actor Chen Yun can already be called the pillar of the human race.

Then the main task of the third stage is obviously that the human race is in danger of extinction, and the male protagonist, as the key person, resolutely shoulders the heavy responsibility and promotes a series of major events to protect the precarious human race.

"After the difficulty of exterminating the race has passed, the male protagonist has almost become the leader of the human race, and has entered the main plot ...... the fourth stage"

Chen Ba wants to create a heroic character.

Maybe he's not so perfect, not so handsome and dashing, but he has a little bit of personality charm in him.

uses a poem to describe Chen Yun, the male protagonist of the game, which is probably "The world kissed him with pain, but he reciprocated with a song." ”

He has experienced ups and downs since he was a child, tasted all kinds of hardships, and is not a genius, he has been full of dangers along the way, and has wandered on the edge of death many times, which can be called licking blood at the tip of a knife.

But he loves life, loves all the people or things around him, and is willing to sacrifice himself for an ethereal "human righteousness".

This kind of person can be called a hero.

As a triple-A role-playing game, according to the general standards in the industry, Chen Ba believes that this plot should be considered full.

"According to the difficulty and collection degree, the game takes time to clear the game, and the minimum guarantee also starts at 20 hours......"

The 20 hours that Chen Ba said refers to the easy difficulty, about 50% of the progress of the achievement of the collection of the illustrated book, and the time required to only push the plot and do nothing else.

Moreover, this is still the premise of a strategy.

Regardless of the strategy, a normal player's play, even if it is easy difficulty, 80% achievement bestiary collection and completion of the game, it will take about 40-50 hours.

Increase the difficulty, or pursue the full illustrated book and 100% successful clearance, then you may have to run for more than 100 hours.

And a triple-A game, in addition to the long plot process, should have a game with rich content, it is impossible to play nothing other than pushing the plot.

"Then the map needs to be bigger!"

"Fortunately, there is a Tianba engine, otherwise this vast game map would be enough for us to drink a pot......"

Xiao Lu was very happy.

Global Evolution is a game where the map template is no different from a real-life world map.

It's just that the map in the game can't be as big as it is in reality, and the scale must be reduced.

But no matter how small it is, it's still a huge map of the world. Without the AI assistance of the Tianba engine, relying on the manpower of the Tianba studio alone, I am afraid that the game map alone would have to be drawn for a year and a half.

Open world, it's normal for the map to be bigger!

In addition to the slightly larger map, the game also contains a variety of beasts and even spirits.

Fierce beasts refer to the animals on the original earth, special monsters formed by mutations, and hate humans.

Spirits are plants on the earth, because of the special species born after the mutation produces intelligence, and it is divided into two factions, one group also hates humans, and the other group is neutral, neither friendly nor disgusted to humans.

In addition to the fierce beasts and spirits on land, there are also various sea beasts in the ocean. This is a well-deserved overlord-level race on the earth after the mutation, and it is also the main opponent and source of experience for the male protagonist Chen Yun in the later period.

"The game has a buddy system!"

"Players can tame certain beasts or spirits and become companions......"

It is said to be a partner, but it is actually an alternative "pet" system.

Pets have strong combat power, which is another interesting way to play the game, that is, like PokΓ©mon, catch pets everywhere and then raise pets.

"Cats and dogs, flowers and plants, according to the division of animals and plants, as well as their respective growth talents, are divided into different qualities."

"The higher the quality of the companion, the harder it is to tame and the harder it is to obtain. For example, the golden companion panda, which is the fiercer category of fierce beasts, and the player only has the share of taming the cubs. ”

When Chen Ba said this, his expression was a little difficult and said: "But then again, it's still hard for me to imagine what a giant panda, a creature that is extremely lazy, will look like after it turns into a fierce beast?" ”

He developed the background framework for the game.

But how to fill that into that framework is someone else's business.

Like ordinary tigers, wolves, and brown bears, it's not much to get a "fierce beast" version. But huskies and giant pandas, which lack eyes at first glance, always feel that they are not so easy to handle.

Especially huskies......

This thing, Chen Ba couldn't think of it when he scratched his head, even if the aura revived and turned into a fierce beast, could Erha really be able to sink the aircraft carrier?

If you can't think of it, you don't want to.

Anyway, he is only responsible for the general direction, and as for the detailed game content, just let Xiao Lu take someone to get it.

……

In total, about 400 people were mobilized to participate in the development of Global Evolution.

Among them, only 47 people are from Tianba Studio, and the rest are all contacted in advance and specially worked for Tianba Studio, responsible for the outsourcing team of various branch content.

For example, MarvelousDesigner, character clothing design and modeling, requires the use of professional 3D clothing design software, and has a certain understanding of the fabric cut of clothing.

It's also a tedious job.

But don't underestimate the importance of this work, the sense of immersion in a game is deeply influenced by the style of the character's clothing.

The characters of those two-dimensional mobile games have invested the most in this regard, and the character costumes are extremely gorgeous, focusing on a roast chicken culture, and capturing the hearts of players from the visual level.

In addition, the development of a large-scale game usually requires the participation of a large number of people who are proficient in photoshop, Substance Designer, Zbrush, Houdini, etc.

This is a huge project.

The more you invest in it, the more you can understand a truth, that is, 3A is really a manifestation of game industrialization and cluster industrialization.

To develop an indie game, the requirement for a game producer may be to "have ideas", and ideas and technical prowess are more important than anything else.

But for a triple-A game producer, personnel scheduling and team management are the most important abilities.

It is no exaggeration to say.

Even if Chen Ba doesn't know anything about game development, he doesn't even know where the computer power on and off button is...... He only needs to clarify the division of responsibilities of each member of the team, and make scheduling and management, and he can become a good triple-A game producer.

It's not hard to see why.

Indie games, that's a solo game, so game producers need to master certain skills and ideas, which is equivalent to leading the battle.

But the 3A game producer has too many elite soldiers under his hands, and the role he plays is actually the emperor.

As an emperor, it is naturally a good thing to be able to drive the expedition in person, but it is okay if you don't have that ability, you just need to know how to make good use of people and send the most correct general at a critical moment.

Chen Ba now belongs to this state of "giving orders", and he does not need to use practical actions to realize his ideas.

Contrary.

He only needs to come up with the idea and assign the right people, and the people below will naturally give him the idea and wait for the acceptance of the results.

"Or you ...... easily"

Yang Dong is very envious of Brother Ba, who became the main producer of a 3A masterpiece at a young age, which is simply enviable.

In comparison, he was miserable.

Brother Ba said lightly, but he wanted to break his leg for it, not only was he tired enough, but when he turned back to the game on sale, people would only remember Brother Ba and not remember him behind the scenes.

"Just do your job!"

Chen Ba knew what Brother Dong was thinking, so he comforted: "It's okay, if you have a chance to go back, let you also have a good time, and be the main producer of the game once!" ”

"Really?"

Yang Dong was overjoyed and asked excitedly, "Is it really the main producer of the game?" ”

"Of course it's true."

Chen Ba doesn't need to deceive people, Brother Dong has been with him for so long, what's wrong with giving him a chance?

And he also wanted to use this to verify a certain conjecture in his mind.

The games he makes always have all kinds of strange bugs, which cause the gameplay to deviate from the original design intention.

So here's the problem.

If he hadn't intervened and let his staff play freely, would there still be such strange bugs in the game?

Chen Ba was really curious.

After the development of "Global Evolution" is completed, he must find an opportunity to let Brother Dong or Xiao Lu take the lead to verify this conjecture.

If the conjecture confirms that even if he does not participate in the development of the game, the game still has all kinds of strange bugs and gameplay, then Chen Ba has to think about it, is there a problem with the studio's feng shui?

Could it be that he is influencing the environment?

It can't be, right?

Chen Ba vaguely felt that although this kind of thing sounded outrageous, with the urine nature of Tie Hanhan's system, there was a high probability that the result would be so.

After all, he doesn't participate in game development, and the whole process is handed over to someone else at the helm, but the game engine and part of the code used are all from the Tie Hanhan system!

There's a good chance that something will go wrong......

But it's okay if something goes wrong!

Just whitewash yourself, let the majority of players know that Tianba Studio is not only a brother who can develop and defend, but others are not clean.

Look!

Even if Brother Ba doesn't interfere, there will still be a new defense, whose question is this, I believe there is no need to say more, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Ba said very expectantly: "Brother Dong, it's time to see you perform." ”

It doesn't matter how many copies the game sells, there must be bugs!

If he makes a serious game, where will Chen Ba's face go? Didn't Tianba Studio confirm the rumors of "Brother Ba = Bug"?

A person makes a joke, that's his own problem.

If a group of people make jokes, then it is not a human problem, but a feng shui problem. Facts have proved that Chen Ba can't be blamed for this, it must be the studio's bad feng shui, which has led to all kinds of bugs in its games.

A stream for everyone to try.,It's really uncomfortable.,Fever, dizziness and weakness.,Try your best to keep your full attendance.,Today's more.,I'm going to take a good rest.,By the way, I'm going to think about the plot of the new game.,I hope you understand.
