Number One Game Designer

Under the supervision of Fang boss, the progress of each game is very fast.

The first is the side writing missions of the Holy Order. There are already more than 60 side missions written, but in Fang Xi’s expectations, this is still far away. Fang Xi’s goal is that players can play in several major metropolises during the Warring States period. Therefore, according to the 50 or so branch missions in each city, the final branch missions will exceed 500, including those that were killed and failed.

Is the sandbox mode and the mode of infinitely clearing the question mark stupid? Fang Xi doesn’t think that at least this mode is very useful for getting to know a world initially. The rich side missions can perfectly enrich a world view, and the side missions that have little to do with the main line can also make the missions in the game feel flesh and blood. .

The second is the first super large DLC that Fang Xi promised to survive. Since this online zombie game went live in March, the peak period has gradually faded, and the number of players has now stabilized at an average of 2.1 million online horror data. Fang Xi silently counted the number of zombies in Raccoon City. Suddenly he felt a little sad for the zombies. If the player has two million every day, he can kill 30 zombies if one player goes in and hits a circle. Players There are more than 60 million zombies destroyed in one day? In the game settings, the resident population of Raccoon City is only 6 million. The average player can destroy ten Raccoon City in a day, which is full of motivation.

The first large-scale DLC promised by Fang Xi has also been produced, and it will be put on the E3 exhibition for the players to judge. But having said that, the road to survival in the North American market is still not online. Fang Xi gave his advice before. The setting that domestic players can play North American games in their locations as leaked by internal personnel has also been learned by North American players. A large number of player anchors began to learn Chinese by themselves, and then the Honghu platform reversely modified them and went to Huaxia District to buy the road to survival and appreciate this. The charm of the game.

In addition, the commemorative level of the portal has also been produced. For Fang Xi, the Aperture Company is also an important part of the plan. This level will also be updated for free after E3 as a thank you for your support.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

In June, just a week before the start of E3, Fang Xi arrived in Los Angeles ahead of schedule.

In addition to attending the important promotion meeting of E3, Sorrento also asked Fang Xi to meet him. He wanted Fang Xi to review the demo of Borderlands that his company had made. Fang Xi also readily agreed and wanted to see it. What kind of game can people in this world play with their plans for the previous world?

"This is the demo of the game that your company took half a year to make?"

After the trial, Fang Xi asked Sorrento in disbelief.

"How about? Isn't it great? This demo is highly evaluated by our company. They think it will be a strong competitor for North America's game of the year this year!"

Looking at Sorrento’s triumphant smiling face, Fang Xi suddenly didn’t know how to say that their game was actually the same as Shi...

Of course, this is in Fang Xi's eyes.

Generally speaking, this is because of a little deviation in the communication between the two parties.

The style of the animation rendering of Borderlands is correct, and Fang Xi's prediction is correct. This style of style is very eye-catching when it comes out, but what about the others? What is the real punk style of this game? Heavy metal, death rock, steampunk. The whole game of True Borders exudes a rebellious and rebellious color. This is a world full of lunatics and abnormal talents.

At that time, Fang Xi only mentioned these things when he was working on the plan. What did Sorrento find in the end? A street painter... can he spray a paint and read a rap to make cyberpunk? Fang Xi could only feel desperate, not knowing whether it was because of himself or because of the culture of this world.

Looking at Fang Xi's expression, Sorrento also noticed something was wrong:

"Are you not satisfied?"

Fang Xi didn't make it clear, but instead asked:

"Do you want to make a classic or do you want to make a platinum?"

Sorrento thought carefully about this question for a minute before answering.

"If you said that making a classic requires a big change, then I would rather just make a platinum sales volume. I need time now."

Fang Xi nodded: "OK, the level shown in the demo is enough for you to be platinum."

Seeing Sorrento's eyebrows open and smiling, Fang Xi sighed inwardly. The two of them were not the same.

Although he is the chairman of the board, he may still value his identity as a game producer a little bit more, and Sorrento is probably...

"Of course we are businessmen." Looking at Fang Xi's back, Sorrento explained to the people around him.

"Remember, we are businessmen and games are just commodities. For us, efficiency and rate of return are everything. He said classics are classics?" Sorrento laughed silently and ironically:

"He wants us to overturn the game, but is it possible? Selling one day earlier will make money one day earlier, and the following items will be rolled out sooner. This kid doesn't understand anything."

Fang Xi said the same in his heart.

In the history of the game, if the game is graded, the top one is undoubtedly the masterpiece. Representatives such as "Zelda Sky Sword", "WAR3" and "Baldur's Gate" are all works that completely created an era of games. Even if time goes by, the glory of these games will not dissipate.

The next level is the classic. It is basically the masterpiece of each genre. For example, the Diablo series, the brainless social insurance is the cool DOOM series, and the luxury car racing Need for Speed ​​series are all works that create a game style. Among them, Borderless Land belongs to this level in Fang Xi's mind.

And what does Sorrento want to do? The products of the assembly line, like Call of Duty, are fictional and groundbreaking, as long as they can be done quickly and sold well.

Not to mention disappointment, Fang Xi feels a bit pity. After all, he gave him the opportunity to create classics. As a result, Sorrento lost the watermelon and regarded a sesame as a treasure. There is no need for Fang Xi to say anything about this kind of thing, at most. I have a chance to see if I want to reproduce this shooting game with a strong North American style.

Three days later, Fang Xi also received his E3 team at the airport.

Lu Wanqi, Chen Yu, Lu Tao, Su Luo, Lu Qiu, Tao Junyi, and several representatives of the R&D team. As the largest game exhibition in the world, its time span is also very long, so the scale of this time is incomparable with the previous San Francisco exhibition. Therefore, Fang Xi also brought a large number of company personnel over, and Su Luo also brought Xuanniao. All the people in the studio were brought over. This time the organizer arranged a medium-sized venue for Hongyi, which requires a group of people to arrange it.

"Hey, Pim, I haven't been very diligent in the recent game updates."

Su Luo also brought the YouTube anchor Pim and Xuanniao's non-staff staff.

Pim didn't have any complaints about being bought by the black bird. Foreigners had always been quite clear about taking money to do business, and he never felt that there was anything wrong with advertising for the sake of earning money.

"Hey, FANG, hello, you have a saying in China that a clever wife can't cook without rice. I am also looking forward to survival, but it has never been sold in North America. I don't have the material to make videos. ."

Pim was familiar, and after saying hello, he began to chatter and complain.

Fang Xi made a stopping gesture with both hands:

"OK, follow me at E3 this time, and I will tell you in advance that the North American approval for Road to Survival has passed, and it will be officially launched after E3, with a super large DLC to be announced at this exhibition!"

"Really? Issocool! Friends, have you heard what FANG said? We will be on the road to survival in a week!"

Fang Xi only noticed that Pim had a camera fixed on his shoulder.
