Number One Game Designer

Hongyi's three games are like throwing a condensed TNT into a dead water, shocking the players who have not had a new game for half a year, and at the same time announcing their return.

And some players make a rough calculation. Hongyi is really busy in the second half of the year. First of all, the "Eternal" summer game will come to an end in the second half of the year. After that, the traditional Oaths of the World will be played, and the summer will be followed. Starting to end, the gunpowder smell of "Eternity" is becoming more and more intense. At the same time, Fang Xi's earliest commitment to a heavyweight DLC for "Left To Survive" every year, this heavyweight DLC is also released in the second half of the year, and many people speculate Put it on the Carnival for a unified release.

Fans of "Origin of All Things" are also looking forward to it. Although it is a completely open game, the number of official squares in this game is now relatively small. Compared with the colorful mods, not only the majority of them Players and most mod makers are also looking forward to it. They hope that the official can have more basic blocks and better game optimization, so that they can produce better quality mods.

It’s also fun to say. The creator reward program that Fang Xi vigorously promotes first covers the creation community of the origin of all things. In this community, if you want to get these mods, if you want to use these mods when you are online with others, then You need to pay.

At that time, many independent producers saw Zhexi with a stunned look. There was no way. Boss Fang made a complete series of mods and uploaded it to it, and marked the price for those producers' reference.

And until now, until today, Fang Xi’s own creation of light and shadow packs, texture packs, and the first mod with a new map plug-in are the most downloaded in the same category, and these downloads have also brought him a number of downloads. One hundred thousand income.

Yes, mod alone can get so much money, so there is a vulgar warning to newcomers in the community of all origin players:

"Persuade people to buy modules, it will be thundered every day."

The consensus among players is that the game "Origin of All Things" is very conscientious. The original price is less than one hundred yuan. It has been a long time since the release. Now if you wait for the event, you can get the genuine version of this game for only thirty yuan. , But the mod of this game is really a money-burning gadget.

A skin may cost a few dollars, a new map may cost more than a dozen dollars, and a light and shadow material pack may cost more than 20 dollars. After buying it, oh, I can’t carry my computer at all. Should I upgrade it? So the wallet bleeds heavily.

And now the Honghu community recognizes that the most demanding computer configuration is precisely the cartoon style game Origin of All Things. When you don’t use anything, a Pentium 256 can make this game run smoothly, but when you add hundreds of mods Going to the top to integrate, Tianhe No. 2 can be fully carded by you.

Therefore, in this case, most players are looking forward to the official upgrade of the game. Although the mod is good, it is a bit tired after playing for a long time. They want some new mechanisms and new things, so their eyes are Also gathered to the carnival.

All the players' eyes converged on the Carnival, but Fang Xi's eyes converged on Wangjing City. If he understood correctly, and if he read the report correctly, Shao Qiulin would be able to deal with him before the Carnival this year.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about a subtle cognitive difference that many people have always had. As many people know, there are basically two ways to make games. One is the industrialized pipeline in Europe and the United States. Each category is divided into categories. There is also a large-scale model of Japanese celebrity producers.

If these two modes are carefully distinguished, Fang Xi believes that there are differences between them, and there is no absolute difference between which is better.

A typical example is history. If the industrialized assembly line is really overwhelmed by studio-style star producers, then why did the game market eventually win in Japan in the 1980s? Finally, in the 1990s, the American game was played by Japan for a year, and even lost his hometown?

This is because the early games are not big, so a strong team with a capable lead producer can complete the production of a game quite swiftly.

In terms of the size of the game at that time, it would be boring if the production scale was forced to divide the labor through the assembly line. At that time, a game needed art resources, and a special art could finish the sketch in one afternoon, and could get what it needed in a week. The art resources are all done.

The same goes back to the game of Octopath Traveler. After comprehensive consideration, Shao Qiulin feels that this game belongs to the typical Japanese game style. It needs a harmonious unity of plot and gameplay, art and text, and it needs someone who draws the original painting Those who understand the plot and need to perfect the plot know what the character looks like in their minds.

In this case, it is obviously not appropriate to talk about the division of labor and cooperation, so Shao Qiulin started the whole creation method and formed a round table mode in Wangjing. The story of the game and the original paintings were brought to this for discussion. All R&D personnel achieve a common understanding while reserving differences, so that the game can be unified from the core.

The result was that he succeeded. The game that was supposed to take two years to complete, is now just over a year. Shao Qiulin said that he is already in the process of finishing the game.

Boss Fang is naturally very happy. In this way, Carnival will finally have a heavyweight game in town. Although this game is not strictly a 3A commercial masterpiece, its artistic quality and its core game ideas should be no problem. .

Not asking for big sales, just forcing the grid to break through the sky, this is Fang Xi's request. As for the sales volume, Hongyi has a lot of games now, and it is time to build up his own reputation.

The other good news is about "Extraordinary Racing". The simultaneous promotion of entertainment and entertainment in Fang Xi's game has finally started.

The comic version of the game Hongyi hired a well-known painter in China, and the movie was handed over to Han Junren to guide.

When Fang Xi gave the script to the painter and Han Junren, they were in two completely different states.

The painter was amazed at that time. He was shocked by Fang Xi's putting a glass of water in the car to keep the water from spilling.

Han Junren’s performance is more intuitive:

"Boss, it's impossible!" He yelled: "I understand the thing you set. In fact, it means the G value in the car. A qualified racer can control this G value. Ideally, it can The G value reaches a circle, and it is really impossible to spill it, but in reality, you are a mountain runner, with speed bumps, potholes, and sharp turns. The water will disappear in a few minutes, which is unrealistic."

Fang Xi could only roll his eyes.
