Game Development: Start by Driving Crazy Players

　　"What kind of game is this? The character's style of painting and dubbing are quite delicate."

　　"A strange building, a burly man in armor, who can guess the game!"

　　"That's right, do you dare to release a little more information!"

　　In the classroom, many students are complaining.

　　There is no doubt that everyone was aroused by this promotional video. After all, they are all young people, and the game is not far from them.

　　But problems followed. Game types, game styles, etc., were not introduced in the video, which made everyone depressed.

　　There was a lot of noise in the classroom, some students were discussing what type of game this game was, and some people were discussing what the man said about 'Demacia' and 'Noxus'.

　　In a word, just curious.

　　Xiao Chuan did not stop seeing this, because he himself was very curious about this game.

　　In other words, he was more curious about Fang Zheng, the designer of this game.

　　After a long time, Xiao Chuan reacted, looked at Qin Siya inexplicably, and asked quietly.

　　"Si Ya, what do you mean by stepping on Masia? Why do I sound like a curse word? Is this a trendy Internet term that has been circulating recently?"

　　PS: I beg the big guys for more support, please! ! ! ! .

Chapter 54

　　There was a lot of excitement on Weibo, and the players had not yet reacted to the shock brought by "Dominion", so Fangzheng released another video.

　　This immediately made the players fry the pot!

　　"Justice shall prevail!"

　　"Hey, look! I can lift the whole world up!"

　　"Let the horses come! You will die honorably!"

　　"If you dare to stretch out Noxus' hand, I'll chop him off!"

　　The lines echoed in the ears of the players, some funny, some serious, which also made the players curious, who is this man in armor and holding a two-handed sword?

　　It's a little silly, but it also gives people a feeling of fearlessness and courage.

　　"Nima, old thief Fang, are you a beast, it's fun to whet your appetite?!"

　　"Tell me, how much is your game? Can't I just buy it!"

　　"I really want to buy it to play, but the old thief Fang didn't even say the release date!"

　　"That thick armor is like a humanoid tank, too Nima has a sense of security!"

　　"Demacia? Noxus? Can someone explain what this is all about?"

　　Soon, a discussion thread about Founder's latest promotional video arose on the Internet.

　　First of all, Fang is a game designer, and he said when "Dominion" was released before that he was developing a new game.

　　So it is not difficult to guess that the man in this video is the character in Founder's new game.

　　But here comes the problem...

　　Although the information given in the video is very limited, careful players still found something unusual.

　　The first is the strange building, standing there like a statue holding a staff.

　　What is the use of this statue?Is it a simple map decoration or does it have any special effect?

　　These players have mixed answers.

　　Some people think that it is just for good looks. After all, the whole process of the video, the statue is not a little unusual at all.

　　Some people also think that it is impossible for Fangzheng to do such a meaningless thing. Since it is included in the video, it shows that the strange building is very important.

　　Secondly, although the map given in the video is only a small piece, this does not affect the speculation of players.

　　At first glance, the style of the map is very simple, which can generally exclude those traditional games that run the map.

　　Because of the traditional map running game, the designers will work hard on the map and try to make it as rich and varied as possible, whether it is a reversal or a beautiful scenery, in short, it is absolutely impossible to be so simple.

　　But players are not [-]% sure. After all, there is too little information in the video. These are all speculations by players based on their own experience.

　　Finally, the action demonstration of the character in the video is not much, but it is easy to remember.

　　There is a dance of ghosts and animals shaking with both hands, a handstand with one hand, and a big sword in his hand that rotates like a spinning top.

　　The most gorgeous and most profound action of summoning a golden giant sword from the sky.

　　If these guesses are correct, it should be the ability of the character~

　　Not to mention anything else, just talking about the special effects of this ability is enough for players to be curious and looking forward to it.

　　weird!Incredibly weird!

　　Yes, this video feels weird!

　　Compared with traditional games, the character abilities seem to be a little less, and the map is very simple. Players have not understood what type of game this is after thinking for a long time.

　　However, just when the players complained that Founder was disgusting, Founder Weibo updated a dynamic again, this time it was not a video, but a story background introduction.

　　......

　　In Valoran, although there is controversy over the military discipline of Demacia, the same thing is that everyone respects it, and civilians and soldiers strictly abide by the code of zero tolerance, which means that the Demacian army will never be in battle. Will make excuses, run away, or surrender.

　　The supreme army leaders enforce these principles vigorously...

　　...Gallen - a heroic warrior with the title "Might of Demacia", the pride of the Demacian army, the leader of the fearless Vanguard, a model for the army, thousands of heroes in Demacia Bloody battles fought on the battlefields of West Asia and Noxus, and died in battle...

　　A proud and noble warrior, Garen fought as an ordinary member of the Dreadnought Vanguard.

　　He is beloved by his fellow brothers and respected by his adversaries—especially as the heir of the venerable House of Crownguards, entrusted with the task of guarding the lands and ideals of Demacia...

　　...he is in heavy armor against magic, armed with a broadsword, and is always ready to face all the madmen who manipulate magic on the battlefield with a righteous steel storm...

　　Until one time, under the flag of the army, Garen met his equal opponent, Katerina the ominous blade. Those soldiers who participated in the war and survived felt that the battle between Garen and Katerina was not like Fighting while dancing like...

　　It was the first time in his life that Garen returned from the battle panting, although some think he didn't lose the battle because of the disparity...

　　...the rumors were rampant at that time, and since then, Galen will seize every opportunity to discuss with Katerina to prove himself. As a moral model of Demacia, Galen never pays attention to these rumors, because he knows that others are Can't understand him.For a true warrior, finding a worthy opponent is his driving force.

　　"The best way to kill an enemy is to chop down with the people around him - Garen!"

　　......

　　A not too long Weibo dynamic, which answered the players' doubts very well.

　　It turned out that the man in the video, named Garen, was born in the ancient Crownguard family of Demacia, and the Crownguard family has defended the glory of Demacia for generations.

　　And it is not difficult to see from this Weibo that there is a magic setting in the background of this game, because Galen himself seems to hate and hate magic very much.

　　Demacia also has a hostile nation called 'Noxus'.

　　And from the background of the story, it can be seen that Garen, the power of Demacia, seems to be somewhat unclear with the female assassin of the hostile Noxus.

　　"To tell the truth, Fang thief, why don't you write novels? It's really a shame!"

　　"You can design games, you can create music, and you can even write the background story so well now, old thief Fang, can you tell me what else you can't do?!"

　　"Fangzheng: I won't have children!"

　　"Tsk tsk, Garen, the power of Demacia, Katerina, the ominous blade, this name is full of excitement as soon as you hear it!"

　　"The best way to kill the enemy is to cut it down with the people around him! This is really domineering!"

　　"So... when will the game be released?!"

　　The bottom of Fangzheng's Weibo is full of messages from fans.

　　For the just-updated story background, combined with the previous promotional video, in fact, there is no need to repeat too much, the fans themselves have already made up a huge world view.

　　To a certain extent, I understand the world background of Founder's new game, and everyone has a general understanding of this new game. Although it is still full of confusion, it is much clearer than before.

　　This is actually the biggest role of a game's background story, rationalizing the game settings, making it easier for people to accept, and making the characters more plump.

　　But the more you know, the more curious the players are.

　　With such a grand world view background, presumably the content of the game will not be too bad.

　　And the designer of this game is Fang Zheng, the man who is hated by the players!

　　Although the previous "FlappyBird" and "Overcoming Difficulties with Bennett Foddy" drove most people crazy, in the end, players have to admit that the playability of these two games is still very high.

　　Otherwise, everyone would not be abused while playing to the death.

　　Therefore, players have no doubts about the playability of Founder's new game, and have full expectations.

　　Based on past experience, Fang Zheng has never let them down in this regard.

　　"Fang thief, I hope you don't do anything, our patience is limited!"

　　"Yes, you'd better be acquainted and give Galen and Katerina a perfect ending!"

　　"Gan, if you don't say I haven't thought of this, Fang Zheng, the beast, won't let Galen and Katerina stage a life and death drama, and then lie to us in tears~"

　　"Emm~ With Fang Zheng's urine, it's really possible!"

　　"Crowdfunding! Crowdfunding! Crowdfunding now!"

　　Most players seem to have defaulted to Fangzheng's new game as a traditional game with a plot orientation. After all, the plot of Galen and Katerina in the background of the story is too inductive.

　　As a result, the players went astray, for fear that Fangzheng would make a tear-jerking drama in which Galen and Caterina were separated by yin and yang, and it was difficult for lovers to get married.

　　At the same time, Fang Zheng in the office looked at the player's message on his Weibo, and the expression on his face was a bit awkward.

　　It seems that the shadow I brought to the players before is still very deep, and a simple story background can remind players of this aspect of bitterness drama...

　　I have to say that the brains of the players are really big!

　　But... what a competitive game, it's a plot-oriented game that your brain made up, and what about the ill-fated relationship between Galen and Katerina...

　　Are your brain circuits so clear? !

　　Fang Zheng was a little helpless about the players' guesses, and he didn't even know how to complain!

　　For a long time, Fang Zheng could only helplessly reply to the players on Weibo.
