Chapter 1 I, Fang Cheng, am an immortal.
"Old Shen, is that student of yours really here to learn how to make games? Didn't he go to the wrong door in the modeling class?"
Mr. Shen from Tianxiong Game Training Academy didn't know where he was. Answered this question for the first time.
But I don’t blame the other party, because that student is really handsome, and one look at him makes people exclaim that he looks like an actor.
Graduated from a prestigious university, with a well-proportioned figure, no matter how you look at it, you should rely on your reputation to make a living, but he still wants to play games, which makes people confused.
Don’t you know that the game has ruined three generations and you will regret planning it for the rest of your life?
Abandoning a great future and coming here to learn how to play games must be due to my deep love for games.
At this moment, Fang Cheng, who was surrounded by a group of people, was flipping through the teaching materials of the training academy. Looking at the game cases above, there was only one question in his mind:
Where is the fun in games?
Fang Cheng, twenty-two years old, is an immortal cultivator and a reborn person.
Thousands of years ago, he reached the Great Perfection and was at the pinnacle of practitioners. He could move mountains and fill seas, catch stars and moons, and was almost omnipotent.
But just as he was about to ascend, he suddenly calculated that his almost perfect Taoist heart was actually missing a piece.
He doesn't know what entertainment is.
Ever since he was sensible, he has been heading towards the path of enlightenment and ascension, killing countless people along the way, and finally reached the end of the immortal path.
But I didn't expect that the way to practice is to relax and relax. I don't know how to play, which leads to a lack of Taoism. As a result, the only way is to fail in ascension.
So, he calculated that his chance would lie in something called a "video game" after a thousand years, so he decisively made arrangements to be reborn and wake up again in the modern age.
You only need to make a game that you find fun and that many people also find fun, then you can successfully attain enlightenment and fill up your mind.
However, after his rebirth, even though he entered the training academy and studied for half a year, he still discovered something not good.
He still doesn't understand why video games are fun.
What's the point of stacking blocks in "Your World"?
What's the point of stacking blocks in Terraria?
What's the point of stacking blocks in "The Princess Was Captured But I'll Find a Master Sword First"?
Aren't they all piles of cubes?
Just when Fang Cheng was confused, Teacher Shen had already walked into the classroom with the lesson plan under his arm, carefully arranging his short hair.
After looking around at all the students present, especially Fang Cheng, he said on the podium: "Everyone, today is your last class as students." "
We analyzed the history of the game, explained the basic production methods and Various classifications, then today is the time to practice."
"Games, known as the ninth art, are actually not that advanced. There are no taboos in game production, and the only requirement is that it is fun." "
The last one Week, please design a game of your own based on the fun aspect." "
Of course, I know that you may have no direction, and even choosing a topic will take a lot of time, so I will give you a theme, and that is survival. I will talk about it later I will send the reference game to everyone. You can spend a day playing it first, and then make a simple trial version. If you do it well, I will submit it to the competition platform, and you will have the opportunity to win awards and be recommended to enter large-scale games. A job in the company."
After hearing this award, a student raised his hand excitedly and asked, "Teacher, Tianyi can also do it?"
Teacher Shen smiled and nodded.
The classroom immediately became cheerful. After all, Tianyi is currently the best game company in the country. It has seventeen game studios of various sizes, covering various fields and platforms from mobile games to consoles.
Fang Cheng has no interest in joining Tianyi, but there should be capable people in Tianyi who can solve his problems, so he also values this opportunity.
After class, he returned to his dormitory, turned on his computer and downloaded the game given by Teacher Shen, and continued to sort out his mana while installing the game.
Although he had no magic power at the beginning of his rebirth, he was a great master in the spiritual world after all. After twenty-three years of practice, he had recovered some of his magic power. He just had to fill up the last piece of his Tao Heart before he could ascend.
After sorting out his mana, he immediately opened the sample game sent by Teacher Shen and started playing.
This game is called "Children of the Forest", and its content is roughly the story of a problem at a resort on a deserted island, and the protagonist and a father and son go to the island to investigate.
On the island, players need to build various devices, defeat savages and mutants full of arms or legs, and finally uncover the secrets of the island. After playing for an hour, Fang Cheng temporarily closed the game and began to think deeply.
The game industry in this era is highly developed, and AI technology has also improved. The time cost and learning cost of developing games have been greatly reduced, but one week is still a bit tight.
Therefore, Teacher Shen did not ask for a complete version, but only said that it would be enough to make a rough version that could basically express his own ideas.
There is no need to complete the game, just understand the basic gameplay.
However, Fang Cheng still passed the level.
For a quasi-ascended person who is almost an immortal, it is too easy to pass a game. He can successfully pass the game even with his eyes closed, but he still doesn't know what is so fun about this game.
Is it really fun to pick up trees in the forest?
Is it really fun to play with a three-legged female savage?
Teacher Shen said that the authenticity of this game is very good, so does authenticity mean it is fun?
With a change of thought, his body transcended the blue star and floated in the infinite space.
His spiritual thoughts swept across countless planets within tens of thousands of light years, and then he locked onto a planet full of towering ancient trees.
The next moment, his body appeared in the forest, standing on this land.
The climate here is similar to Blue Star, but the oxygen content is very high, making the animals and plants taller and everything more dangerous.
There once was a civilization here, but that was thousands of years ago. This civilization has long since left or died, leaving only lost ruins.
After checking the planet with his spiritual mind, Fang Cheng determined that there was no other civilization, and then started his own action: tree-lifting.
He cut down the towering trees with his bare hands, cut and built a wooden house with his bare hands, and built a small base here in an hour. Fang Cheng sat in the base drinking scented tea made with snow water, looking at the snow-capped mountains outside the house and couldn't help but say: "It's so boring."
I might as well go home and meditate.
The greatest authenticity is to go to the wilderness to survive by yourself, but overall, Fang Cheng didn't find it fun.
Perhaps Teacher Shen can give me some pointers?
So, he used his magic power to tidy up the place a little, and used magic to encapsulate everything into a program and copy it to a USB flash drive. Then he walked into Teacher Shen's office with the USB flash drive.
Seeing Fang Cheng walking in, Teacher Shen, who was drinking wolfberry tea, smiled and said, "Xiao Fang, what's the matter? Are you encountering a problem somewhere?"
"No, the trial version of my game is out. I hope you will take a look at it, teacher."
Teacher Shen looked at his phone in confusion and found that there were only three hours from the time he assigned the homework to Fang Cheng handing it in.
With a wry smile, Teacher Shen said: "Fang Cheng, I usually see you as quite honest. Why do you start cheating and playing tricks at this time? How can you make a good game in such a short time? Forget it, I'll leave the game for now. Come on, let me take a look."
"Oh, I know."
Fang Cheng put down the USB flash drive and was convinced.
There is a certain order of learning and there is a specialization in the art. A teacher is a teacher, and just from the time it takes you can see that you don’t understand anything.
So according to what the teacher said, does the so-called production time mean gameplay?
Back in the dormitory, Fang Cheng was just about to do something useless to stretch out the time when he saw a call from Teacher Shen.
"Fang Cheng, come back quickly!"
