The basics of game design, from getting started to entering the grave

"Why?" Yin Qiang was proud, and poured a basin of cold water.

"Have you ever thought that our project has been exposed from the beginning and will be copied by others?"

Hao Zhuang propped his hands on the conference table, his eyes full of worry.

"Boss Hao's thinking is also reasonable. It's a bit early to publicize. Those two-dimensional companies have a better foundation than us. It's really easy to copy them."

The artist who originally supported Yin Qiang suddenly turned against him.

"You!" Yin Qiang stomped his feet angrily, "Boss Hao, didn't our previous projects start from invitation testing? It's easy to copy this kind of two-dimensional project, but the most important thing is the world view structure." , it is difficult to find the core point for a while."

"Why, are you switching from copywriting planning to operation? Are you so concerned about popularity?"

"……I do not have."

"Then shut up." Hao Zhuang was tough.

His voice was not loud, but it was enough to shock everyone.

Jiang Qiuqi glanced at Wang Shuo quietly, and the other party shook his head, motioning her not to speak.

"Are there any other questions? If not, you can practice it today, in case you encounter an emergency tomorrow and don't know how to deal with it."

Hao Zhuang straightened his waist, his eyes swept over everyone's faces.

No one spoke.

"Then let's do this for today, the meeting is over."

Hao Zhuang opened the door and went out first.

Jiang Qiuqi followed Wang Shuo and returned to his seat.

"Master, is inviting a test really not suitable for publicity?"

"It depends on what kind of game it is. Some games have low production costs, and it takes longer from invitation testing to official launch, so it is not suitable."

Wang Shuo thought for a while and added, "But now, publicity is also a way to protect copyright, and it can prove that the game was made first in your company."

Jiang Qiuqi nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, don't think about it, let me take you to simulate tomorrow's process, go to the conference room?"

"Okay!" Jiang Qiuqi took out his notebook and pen, and followed Wang Shuo into the conference room.

During the whole morning, both master and apprentice were simulating, and even thought through many emergencies that were not in the plan.

"Master! I have a great sense of accomplishment, my heart is beating so fast now, and I even feel like 'our game is about to become the number one in the world'."

The more Jiang Qiuqi thought about it, the more excited he became, with stars shining in his eyes.

"Well, it's like this when making games. I often feel that what I make is perfect." Wang Shuo smiled, "It's just that in many cases, the success of a game requires not only excellent production, but also luck."

"Master," Jiang Qiuqi couldn't believe it, "Why are you still an idealist? No matter what industry you are in, hard work will succeed, right?"

Wang Shuo didn't refute anymore, but just told her: "When you grow up, you will understand."

Jiang Qiuqi's smile gradually disappeared. After all, even if she continued to grow, it had nothing to do with the master in front of her.

"Master, after you go home, will you still play games?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly? I haven't figured it out yet. There are very few game companies in my house. Most of them are 999 for a knife plus a change of skin. They run away after a wave of money. Naturally, there is no game quality."

"That's it..." Jiang Qiuqi nodded, feeling even more sad.

"It doesn't matter, Master, I will carry your game dream for you for the time being. If you want to come back someday, the door of our company will always be open to you!"

Wang Shuo followed her words and said, "Yes, if one day I want to make games again, you can take our whole family in. My children can count on your company in the future."

"no problem!"

Jiang Qiuqi agreed without hesitation, not paying attention to Wang Shuo's words.

"Okay, let's go to dinner and check again in the afternoon. There is nothing wrong with it. Run the game twice and try to be safe tomorrow."

"Follow your teacher's orders!"

After a busy day, Jiang Qiuqi is full of confidence in this invitation test.

"Why, you look more excited than this morning."

Wang Shuo couldn't bear it, so he went back to his work station and lay down for a while. When he came back, he saw Jiang Qiuqi clenching his fists, as if swearing at the computer.

"Master, do you think that after this test, you will be able to know whether our game will be liked or not, and will you be able to make money?"

"So you were thinking about this." Wang Shuo pulled out the chair and sat next to her.

"Strictly speaking, no, this test is equivalent to the simplest version. The players found are basically game lovers of the same kind. For them, playing such games is like eating and drinking water.

And if we only focus on them, our game has no chance of breaking the circle, and it will be difficult to achieve the level you want, such as tens of millions of daily turnover. "

Thousands of water flows every day!

Jiang Qiuqi gasped.That's the level of "Glory of the King", she dare not think about it!

"...Master, my goal is not that big..." Jiang Qiuqi looked at Wang Shuo sadly, "I just want to earn 1000 million a month? Maybe I can get back my money and continue to operate for a long time."

"Although the turnover of tens of millions is a bit exaggerated, if it is a company, 1000 million a month will not be able to pay back the cost. Don't forget the early research and development. In the shortest period of one year, you will be in debt."

"So... is this test meaningless?" Jiang Qiuqi suddenly turned into a frosty eggplant.

"For planning, it is useful to study the player's upper limit level. For example, Chu Jukun can know how to design the level difficulty. For us, in fact, it mainly depends on whether the UI and system fit the game content, and other things have little effect."

"...Okay." Jiang Qiuqi got down completely.

In her vision, after the beta version is completed, she can show the "Four Heavenly Kings" the internal beta data and tell them that the game is currently heading towards a broad road.

Now it seems that there is no need to take it out and report it.Although they don't understand that well, you can't lie to them.

"Okay, it's getting late, go back early. Come early tomorrow."

Wang Shuo packed his things and left.

**
The next morning, Jiang Qiuqi arrived half an hour earlier than usual.

She thought she could go to the conference room to have breakfast, but as soon as she got off the elevator, she saw Wang Shuo talking about the direction of UI optimization.

Yin Qiang, who was always late, was also sitting at his desk, typing away at the computer, very serious.

... Is the game company's per capita volume king?

Jiang Qiuqi put away his surprise and walked to his work station.

The test was invited this afternoon, and the list of invitees was temporarily kept by Hao Zhuang, and only Chu Jukun knew about it.

The meeting room is temporarily closed, and the administrator will make the layout before the test, trying to make a good impression on the players who come.

The morning meeting was not held, everyone was busy.

Jiang Qiuqi played the game a few more times. Some details that she didn't notice before but did not affect the operation, she wrote them down on paper and waited to revise them later.

An hour before the invitation for the test, a list was handed over to Jiang Qiuqi.

"You will be responsible for signing in and distributing mobile phones and questionnaires, and you will be observers when everyone comes in." Hao Zhuang explained.

"Is the administrator not here? This work needs to be planned?"

"Well, I want you to come."

Tomorrow maybe there may be a double update~ I will work hard hehe
