Chapter 12: The Difficult Game of Love:
From the first glance, you can tell that the new guy doesn’t like to talk.
The young man has a good-looking appearance, but is thin and wears clothes like a kite. He will definitely not die if he jumps from the fifth floor. He might even be able to do a cobra spin.
After taking the other person's notebook, Fang Cheng read it for a while, and then felt something wasn't right.
There was nothing wrong with what the other party said, but it was different from what I thought.
For example, in Born to Die, Fang Cheng hopes to see how the other party can find out why the "horror" element in the game is insufficient, while the other party is asking for the smoothness of the lines to be enhanced.
The same is true for "The Second Son of the Forest". The other party did not explain why it failed, but just explained various shortcomings, which is a bit different from the effect Fang Cheng wanted.
But no matter what, Fang Cheng still saw one thing from the other party's notes, and that was fanaticism.
The other person is obviously a player who is passionate about games. It will be more helpful for him to study the game by having such a person by his side.
So, he nodded to the newcomer and asked, "What do you call me?"
"Xiao Du, but you can call me Xiaodouzi." Xiao Du said.
Then, he plucked up the courage and whispered: "Although I have raised so many opinions, "Born to Death" is my favorite game. I like all the details in it, especially after the death of a civilization, I desperately want to I particularly like the obsession of leaving something in the universe. So I want to ask, how did you come up with those ideas?" "
I don't know, it grew on its own."
Fang Cheng told the truth, and Xiao Du was even more excited.
He looked at Fang Cheng, his eyes shone, and said excitedly: "I understand, you mean that the game needs to listen to the voice from the heart, and not pursue stereotyped meanings?" "
I feel like you are filling in your head a little too much. Let’s not talk about that, has the contract been signed? Has the salary been negotiated?”
Although Xiao Du has repeatedly stated that he does not need it, he still has the money he saved from his previous work. And the video income has been good recently, so there has been no problem for a while.
But Fang Cheng had written the concept of "no salary arrears" into his heart. Even good horses are fed by good grass, so he decisively offered the other party 12,000 yuan a month.
After giving Xiao Du a small entry-level gift, Fang Cheng took out the USB flash drive and said to Xiao Du: "This is a game I recently developed. I'm going to call it Dungeon. Can you help me test it?"
Xiao Du quickly stood up. , said "I'm sorry" and immediately rushed to the toilet on the floor. When I came back, my hands were all wet.
"I've washed my hands three times and can start." "
..."
Fang Cheng didn't say anything. Xu Qingling patted him on the shoulder and said proudly: "Talent, this little bean is so fun. Hurry up and praise him. Me."
"...Why?"
"Help you recruit such fun employees."
"Oh, thank you."
This time, Fang Cheng spent a lot of time building the world, modifying the props, and fully integrated what he had learned throughout his life. Display also makes the size of the game reach unprecedented heights.
10MB.
In this era of games that often cost several GB, this size is really a breath of fresh air, but the calculation method of magic is so simple, crude and unreasonable. In order not to make this look too strange, Fang Cheng also added a lot of extra things, but it was still a bit small.
Xiaodouzi thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Boss, are you planning to develop a mobile terminal? Computer and mobile phone data interoperability is also a good development direction. You have done a good job in optimizing." "I didn't think that far ahead. "
You should think about it, monopoly is the way to death. Many games say that monopoly is actually the establishment of a memorial arch. Okay, I'm coming in."
Entering the game, picking up the controller, the expression on Xiaodouzi's face disappeared instantly, Only the reflection of the screen on his glasses kept beating.
From the beginning of playing the game, he did not say a word, but continued to control the image on the screen and began to explore the dungeon.
In this game, the main gameplay of the player is to continuously eliminate monsters on the road, obtain attribute improvements and better equipment, improve their own strength, and then explore the dungeons layer by layer.
Because the theme of the game is love, Fang Cheng didn't want to spend too much time on improving attributes, so only a basic mathematical model was enough.
This time, he adopts a bird's-eye view to make it easier for players to see their surroundings.
From the moment I hold the handle, it feels like it has grown in Xiaodouzi's hand and has never been put down.
And unlike his performance as a speed pass master in the video, Xiaodouzi's current state of playing the game can only be described as cautious.
Xiaodouzi played in the first dungeon for nearly eight hours. He was so focused that he didn't even go to the toilet once.
He didn't care about the takeaway Xu Qingling bought, but just stared at the screen.
It wasn't until the end of the first dungeon, when all the details had been searched, and the first princess in ghost form was rescued, that he put down the controller, took off his glasses, and tears burst into his eyes at this moment.
"This game is so good, I'm very touched."
"Really?" Fang Cheng asked expectantly, "What's so fun about it?"
"The monster models and mechanisms, all kinds of realistic feedback on reality, and the extremely random nature The equipment system, and the unparalleled feeling of mowing after the equipment is formed. I dare say that this is the best meat pigeon mowing game I have played this year."
Fang Cheng was quite happy to listen to it in the first half, but after Something is wrong halfway through.
Pointing to the player image on the screen who was still embracing Princess Mononoke, Fang Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Why do you think I arranged for this princess?"
Xiaodouzi's eyes lit up and he talked nonstop: "The existence of the princess It is a kind of positive feedback after completing the level, and the characteristics of the princess itself will even change the various mechanisms of the game. The only shortcoming at present is that it does not give players the most important sense of resource scarcity in pigeon-type games. But it doesn’t matter, I will adjust it. ."
Interrupting the other party, Fang Cheng asked: "What position are you applying for?"
"Numerical planning! I am a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University. Mathematics is as natural to me as breathing. I will definitely know it. Adjust the values of the boss game to the best, trust me."
"But, what I want to do is a love game."
Xiaodouzi looked at Fang Cheng and sighed subtly.
Xu Qingling took the opportunity to hold Fang Cheng's hand to the side, pointed to a certain Q&A on the screen and said, "Boss, look at this question."
Fang Cheng looked over, and then discovered that it was "How to evaluate Fang Cheng's bad performance" How games are classified”.
There are not many answers below, but everyone said that Fangcheng’s game classification can only be described as a tragedy.
Resisting the urge to curse everyone, Fang Cheng had no choice but to sit aside and start thinking about why he failed this time.
Love games are so difficult to do.
