Number One Game Designer

The old saying goes well: the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade.

This is actually broken and broken, meaning the same as that of the famous coffin board artist Mr. Isaac Newton: I succeeded because I stood on the shoulders of giants.

What is said is nothing more than a meaning: the experience of the predecessors is quite precious.

This is the same for Fang Xi. The difference is that Fang Xi is standing on the shoulders of a world. The experience of more than 20 years in the last time and space is all his accumulated knowledge. Many things accumulated in this way, he feels As it should be, it is shocking for players in this world.

For example, the first full face capture technology used in "Left Survival" and "Assassin's Creed".

This world also has motion capture technology, but limited by the cost and the gap of vision, this space-time motion capture is really just a very simple motion capture, only the actors are invited to record the action, so the recorded action is compared to the research and development. The movements debugged by the department itself are obviously more natural and can be distinguished almost at a glance.

After Boss Fang took office, the most obvious thing in the first two masterpieces was the addition of facial capture, not only to make the protagonist have an expression, but also to make the zombies use facial capture. Although this will cause the cost to rise, but use it. The effect is also leveraged.

For example, many players in "Legend of Survival" complained that some zombies with tattered heads are really ugly deep in their souls, and their ugly hairs are terrifying. The most famous is probably a video of a hospital looking for an NPC recorded by a well-known up host at 13 stations. In the video, the player controls the protagonist to find a key NPC in the hospital. At the critical moment, the protagonist who can only be illuminated by a flashlight meets one at the corner. For the new zombie, the UP master at that time quickly took away half of the zombie's head with an accurate headshot, and then on the remaining half of the head, the incomplete mouth showed a smile to the player, and then rushed forward.

This shot caused discomfort to the vast majority of viewers at the 13 stations at the time, and was quickly reported off the shelves.

However, although the video is off the shelves, the half-headed zombies in the camera are mixed in the emoji package, and many people directly claim that the expression of a dragon-clad zombie in Hongyi is better than that of the protagonist in the traditional RPG. rich!

So this year, domestic RPG games are still insisting that facial expressions are basically used for motion capture technology. Unfortunately, Boss Fang smiled slightly and swiped his pen to the budget of "Assassin's Creed: Snake Snake" to increase the budget for eye catching.

If the Chinese boss in the game of Spring and Autumn is more important to the shaping of the story and the plot, then in the new "Snake Snake", the boss wants to make the heroes alive.

The four hundred years of the Han family started and ended by Liu Bang in the legend.

In the wild history, the story of the great ancestor killing the white snake has been processed into another interesting version: Legend has it that Liu Bang killed a white python. Before Liu Bang killed the snake, the white python said: "The debt you owe will one day be It's back. You chopped off my head and I will usurp your head: chop my tail and I will usurp your tail." Liu Bang cut the white python from the middle into two pieces with a sword. Therefore, the Western Han Dynasty passed to Emperor Ping, and the white snake reincarnated Wang Mang, poisoned Emperor Ping of the Han, and usurped the Han as a new one. After Guangwu Zhongxing, Wang Mang was extinguished, and the Han Dynasty was restored, and the Eastern Han Dynasty of Liu Clan was established. The Eastern and Western Han happened to be passed on for more than 200 years.

Although it's just ghost talks, boss Fang found it very interesting, so because the research and development team of "Snake Snake" also went to Lu Tao, here we need to let Lu Tao use his experience to make a snake-like boss to echo the beginning of the Han Dynasty. legend.

"But where are we going to find a snake to collect the action?" Although Lu Tao was pulled in, he still refused to give in to Fang Xi:

"If you want to do a boss battle, using snakes is simply unrealistic. In nature, snakes are cold-blooded animals. Sluggishness is a common problem of cold-blooded animals. Most of them are slow in action even when hunting. Only when there is a fatal one. It will move like lightning when you hit it. If it is collected according to the truth, it will be a **** boss, it will be the kind of boss that is difficult to fight and has a bad experience."

"Then what do you say?" Boss Fang has written game planning one after another, but he respects the opinions of professionals on such professional issues.

"I think... this question is actually simple." Lu Tao laughed a little bit, and said embarrassedly: "Boss, as long as you can invest another five million dollars in the research and development of the map codenamed hunting, this kind of small problem will be fine. Cover me and solve it for you in minutes!"

Fang Xi fixedly looked at the gradual and unrestrained director that he had cultivated, watched quietly for a minute and then said, "Go away..."

"Hey, don't tell me, boss, the price is easy to negotiate, otherwise, 450?"

"Don't, it's too expensive."

"The three hundred, three hundred! It really can't be less!"

"No, I already thought of a way."

"what?"

Fang Xi really thought of a way. The two people are now in the office of the Holy Order. In addition to the two people in the office, there are a group of core developers of "Snake Slayer". They are all looking at the two people, Boss Fang and Lu Tao. Like bargaining at the vegetable market, it’s like a slap in the face.

But Fang Xi first gave up this meaningless argument, took two pieces of paper and brushed it a few times, and a lifelike painting was born.

Standing behind Fang Xi, Lu Tao and the R&D staff first admired his boss's sketching skills. A simple piece of lens painting was so mellow that it seemed to be a veteran who had been immersed in this technique for decades.

But these hands are white and clean without wrinkles, they are a pair of hands that couldn't be more young. Looking up along the way is the storyboard drawn by Fang Xigang.

The content on the paper is also very simple. A tall man with long beards is chasing by a giant python.

When Lu Tao saw the image, he knew it. This should be the Liu Bang described by the boss. In the Han Dynasty, the old Liu family was forced not to say that when the emperor was more handsome than the other, especially the earliest Liu Bang, he married just a pavilion chief Why was the daughter of Lu Gong, the richest man in the county at that time? Because he was so handsome, Lu Gong looked at him and thought that someone as handsome as Liu Bang could not be a mortal, so he married his daughter directly. The Han Gaozu in the history books was tall, with a high forehead, beautiful sideburns and beard. According to the aesthetics of the time, he was a standard handsome man. In Fang Xi's novel, the chased man also had a long beard and a tall figure.

But this snake... Lu Tao slapped his tongue when he looked at this snake. This snake seems a bit too big?

A simple conversion based on the body proportions, the height of Liu Bang in the picture is calculated at 1.8 meters, but in the picture his eyes are about the same size as the giant snake's eyes, and one eyeball has a two-meter-large snake. This is...square It's always too dare to paint.

"President Fang, this white snake will be made into a dragon by you." Someone in the R&D team joked.

Fang Xi smiled when he saw it, and then said, "Actually, I thought about it. There is something inappropriate to make a boss fight. So I thought of a lazy way, that is, to make it a giant. Beast warfare, that is, the protagonist is chased by running around, according to the accumulated damage of some terrain kills, after the damage reaches a range, the beheading animation can be directly triggered."
