Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 203 New Planning
Terraria's steam review area is a very interesting place. There are already thousands of reviews, 98% of which are positive.

And when you switch to bad reviews to see why those 2% people made bad reviews, you will basically see this sentence.

[Still waiting to read the bad reviews?fun! For 36 yuan, you can’t buy it to lose money, and you can’t buy it to be fooled! ]
Pu Xingyu was alone in the office and laughed happily watching everyone's good and bad reviews.

It's been a week since Terraria was released.

Players who are progressing faster are almost at the end of the Moon Lord.

And there are many derivative stalks about Terraria.

Hell through train ah, corrupted altar tap to restore blood ah, delicious and flammable...

This game is indeed worthy of Mr. Luo's recommendation at the time, "This is a game with a high degree of freedom".

You can fly a kite in this game to be a carefree child, you can plant potions, be a hardworking farmer, you can even go fishing...

Oh, let's kill the fisherman who has no father and no mother first.

Building, Circuits, Digging, Exploring...

Everything is available.

After get off work, Tang Yunpeng sitting in front of the computer looked at the blank word document in front of him, feeling very worried.

In the past years, whenever Chuxin Game Studio released a new work, Tang Yunpeng would never be absent, and he would definitely give the game a good review.

But this year, facing Terraria, Tang Yunpeng found himself somewhat at a loss.

Is the game fun?fun.

Is the game on?above.

But what is so fun about this game?Where is the top?
To be honest, Old Tang couldn't tell.

As a guy who challenged a game with a completely unfamiliar attitude and took it for fun, Old Tang didn't read any strategies.

He just followed the guidance of the guide, built a matchbox house, dug out iron ore and gold mines from the ground, and then attracted NPCs to move in, and defeated the boss...

"guide……"

Tang Yunpeng raised the corner of his mouth. He seemed to know why the Terraria game is so fun.

"On Game Guidance in Terraria: Driving Your Own Curiosity"

"It took me more than half a month, and I finally cleared the new game Terraria that I originally wanted.

In order to play the game and even delay work, while feeling guilty here, I can't help thinking about why this game is so good.

I couldn't get any ideas after thinking hard, and finally found some clues when I was bored and looked at the bad reviews of the Terraria game.

'Garbage game, without any guidance, I don't know what I'm going to do'.

When I saw this sentence, I subconsciously wanted to refute it, but when I thought about it carefully, it seemed that I was right. There really is no guidance in Terraria.

At most, only the guide told us some 'secrets' of the game.

Thinking of this, my brain seemed to be enlightened, and I finally had some ideas.

The original intention is very smart. They have almost reached the pinnacle of gameplay. We know that there are actually many games with a high degree of freedom, such as Breath of Nature, Wanda and Colossus.

Although you can gallop freely in the world and do whatever you want, the game will still guide you to do things with tasks, such as NPC asking you to help find something.

After you have received these tasks, you will have the motivation to continue this game,
The creators understand very well that if a game simply lets you wander around, it is easy to make people feel lost and bored.

But Director Pu, the designer of this game, is unique. He doesn't give you any goals or tasks. He only gives you a kind of "guidance".

For example, the initial NPC is called a guide, and he will tell you that there are NPCs to live in the house, it is dangerous at night, and so on.He doesn't give you tasks, but only vague suggestions.

If you only give you a huge world without any guidance, we generally cannot accept this huge game setting.

Terraria relies on proper hints to help you discover something new.

For example, after digging a tree, you can make a workbench. After you have a workbench, you find that you can make more things, so driven by curiosity, you try to find those things.
In other words, the designer of this game perfectly made our curiosity become our driving force for the game.

The designers were smart enough not to force us to play the game with boring tasks.

There is also no such thing as experience points/levels to limit us, there are no levels in the game.

That's right, I told you that you can build a house, so we went to find materials to repair the house by ourselves.

I told you that this kind of equipment can be made, so we dug underground to find various materials.

And each content is interlocking. If you want NPC, you need to build a house, if you want a house, you need to make materials, if you want to make materials, you need an ax manuscript, and you must be able to defeat those monsters that hinder you from collecting materials.

So we have to use the corresponding weapons to defeat them. To make these weapons, we have to collect all kinds of things.

In the process of playing this game, we all completed it unconsciously, and did not follow the mandatory goals or tasks given by the game.

So when we get these things and make these buildings, we will feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in our hearts.

In order to increase the game time, the game also has many interesting settings, such as collecting various flags, ornaments, designing various buildings, fishing, and so on.

These things are out of my scope.

The purpose of this article is just to hope that more game makers in the industry can get some inspiration.

Director Pu's special design of using the player's own curiosity to guide and attract the player is a valuable experience.

Worth learning for all of us. "

Not long after Tang Yunpeng tweeted, Pu Xingyu, who searched Terraria intensively and searched for himself, replied under him.

Pu Xingyu: "@唐云鹏, Tang Ge, the design idea of ​​this game is completely from Luo Ge, including the previous Tudou brothers. I dare not take credit for it.

As long as the game is completed well and does not live up to Luo Ge's expectations, I will be satisfied. "

Pu Xingyu has also opened a Weibo since Tudou Brothers went online.

And this kind of self-destruction shocked countless players.

"Emotional Potato Brothers and Terraria are both Mr. Luo's ideas, Pu Ge is just an implementer."

"Damn it! Boss Luo's idea? But it's really nice for Pu Ge to admit so bravely!"

"Actually, the completion of the two games is already very high, Pu Ge, we are very satisfied with you.

Boss Luo can't make the game anyway, he gave you the idea to make the game, you deserve the most credit! "

Tang Yunpeng probably didn't expect this result. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unexpected, but also reasonable, and at the same time quite regrettable.

Seeing Pu Xingyu's Terraria, Tang Yunpeng was very excited.

Because in the domestic stand-alone game circle, it is a kind of luck to have Luo Bai and Pu Xingyu.

But... Mr. Luo only has one.

Also, such a character is hard to come by.

#初心二部 The actual idea of ​​the game comes from Mr. Luo! #
Pu Xingyu's tweet caused quite a stir.

It was a hot search that day.

After Luo Bai heard the news, he was also a little funny and a little helpless.

There is no need to divide this kind of thing so clearly. The first heart and the second heart are both the original heart, so there is no need to divide it so carefully.

As for honor.

Luo Bai felt that he had enough honors, but Pu Xingyu also had his own pride, so let it be.

But I still have to talk to Pu Xingyu.

However, before going to Pu Xingyu's side, it was Pu Xingyu who came over and apologized to him first.

"Brother Luo, I'm sorry, I made my own decision."

Splitting the second part of the original heart by itself is a bit hard to support Pu Xingyu.

The purpose of Chuxin's doing this is to tell the domestic stand-alone game circle that there is not only one Luo Bai, but also Pu Xingyu.

This can set an example for domestic game developers.

Looking at Pu Xingyu who bowed his head, Luo Bai shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's a good thing that you have your own ideas, and this kind of thing doesn't matter.

As far as it is concerned, whether it is the Chuxin seedling plan or our Chuxin game media, it is going very smoothly, isn't it?

The relationship with those big domestic manufacturers has gradually begun to ease.

As for some trivial things, it doesn't hurt. "

Pu Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Pu Xingyu was so ashamed and angry when he saw Old Tang's article.

Originally, when the Tudou Brothers were in the past, although some people praised them, they hadn't named them by name like this.

But Old Tang really doesn't talk about Wude, he just pretends that he has created something.

Who can stand this?

Seeing Pu Xingyu's appearance of passing the test, Luo Bai narrowed his eyes slightly:

"However, although I provided the idea, you have at least completed two games independently.

What should be done for a game, what is the standard for games on the market, and what type of games do players prefer.

I believe that you should also have your own set of ideas and experiences.

I want you to be ready..."

"Prepare?"

Pu Xingyu raised his head in doubt, but soon understood what Luo Ge meant.

Make a game that belongs to Pu Xingyu.

Make a game of your own?can i really do it
Pu Xingyu was a little lost.

Has he thought about this question, he must have thought about it, but it was the first time Luo Bai put it on the surface and brought it up.

"Then... what about the second part of the first heart?"

Pu Xingyu asked weakly.

"What's the matter? Such a big Chuxin No. [-], can't transfer without you, Pu Xingyu?"

Luo Bai's tone of "Xiao Pu, do you take yourself too seriously" made Pu Xingyu smile awkwardly.

Luo Bai exhaled:

"Don't worry about this matter, it's up to you, tell me when you're ready, and the headquarters will definitely give you the greatest support.

Give the second part a break. When you come back, if you don’t have any ideas of your own, you can pick a few more plans from me. "

"Okay, thank you Luoge."

Pu Xingyu chuckled.

The two chatted for a while, sent Pu Xingyu away, and Xiao Weirui, who received the news after a while, also pushed open the door of Luo Bai's office.

"Mr. Luo, take a look at these cooperation..."

While reviewing these business cooperations, Luo Bai suddenly asked:

"By the way, Brother Rui, do we still have enough money in our account?"

"How could it not be enough?"

Xiao Weirui sighed,

"I'm dying of a headache. I've been thinking about how to spend the money in my account all this time."

Even if Chuxin doesn't make games every year, the copyright licensing fee he earns is astronomical.

In the case of limited capital expenditure for making games, the sales of each game can basically explode, in exchange for many times the profit.

That money sitting in a bank account is a complete waste!
That is to say, through various angles such as purchasing real estate as staff dormitories, increasing investment in Chuxin game media, etc., it is worthwhile to spend some money.

"What's the matter? Does our old thief have any new ideas?"

Xiao Weirui was joking.

Luo Bai didn't hold back, and thought:

"Now we have a lot of IPs, I think it's almost time to set up a Chuxin Game Festival to communicate with players.

By the way, you can also negotiate with the three major host platforms and friends to make it bigger and more lively.

I remember the last time I held an event was the last time. "

"I see, what standard?"

The butler is still very competent.

"It's not about making money, the most important thing is to give back to the players for their support, so that everyone can have fun and have fun.

Are you worried about how to spend money? "

Luo Bai gave his own thoughts.

What I said about worrying about spending money is worrying about how money makes money!Can it be the same as your coin throwing behavior?

But it's just a rant in my heart.

Xiao Weirui still admires Luo Bai very much.

Not only in the game industry, but also in business, Mr. Luo is completely different.

If he wasn't a genius, perhaps Chu Xin would have died many times.

But who made him a genius?Genius is always privileged, isn't it?

"I understand, I will discuss this matter."

Xiao Weirui nodded.

　The fourth update is here, thank you for your support to Xiao Xiao~
