Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Attack type, armor type, including a skill for each unit, and related values.

Even though Chen Xu used memory potion, it still took about three days.

During this period, Qin Yi also built a data model according to a requirement given by Chen Xu.

For example, the attack types in"Warcraft" include normal atmosphere, piercing, heroic, chaos, siege, magic, and skills. At the same time, armor is also divided into light, medium, heavy, enhanced, heroic, and no armor.

One of the damage models is Qin Yi's work content during this period.

Including the numerical system of balance, Chen Xu also let Qin Yi get in touch with it bit by bit and then learn it.

As for Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu, they are engaged in the production of art content in"Warcraft".

The main characters in the game, such as Arthas, Illidan, Tyrande, Sylvanas, and Jaina, are naturally handled by Chen Xu himself.

Although in the game, the models of these characters are really terrible from Chen Xu's current perspective.

But just looking at the original concept paintings, no matter what period they are from, they are definitely of the highest quality.

But there are more than just these main characters in the game.

Ordinary military units, such as human soldiers, orc soldiers, and undead ghouls, all require art production.

In addition, there is the aspect of game operation and UI interaction.

Although there is no doubt about the game design concept of"Warcraft", there are still some areas that can be improved due to technical reasons in the previous life.

The interactive experience of players is one of them.

In the previous version of"Warcraft", players' custom modifications were not supported.

For example, the items in the hero inventory require the use of the numeric keys on the small keyboard.

This design is mainly because there is a formation function in"Warcraft", and the numerical keys on the letter keys are reserved for formation use.

Therefore, the tool bar can naturally only be used with the small keyboard.

But for most ordinary players, this design is actually quite awkward.

There are many of these contents in the previous life of"Warcraft".

They were all limited by the game development technology at the time, and now Chen Xu naturally has to work more seriously to correct these shortcomings and make the entire game more perfect.

As for the plot of the game, Chen Xu has not done it yet because this aspect is not urgent.

The display of the entire plot is also based on the framework of the entire game in the game.

At present, the main direction of cost demand is to focus on the most important link in"Warcraft".

It is also the content that allowed the previous version of"Warcraft" to endure for a long time. Even more than ten years later, countless players are still immersed in this game.

That's the map editor for Warcraft.

To describe it in one sentence,"Warcraft" is a masterpiece and a pioneering RTS game.

The map editor of"Warcraft" gives"Warcraft" more possibilities.

How many players came into contact with"Warcraft" not from the campaign or the RTS gameplay, but from the interesting RPG maps.

Guarding the Sword Pavilion, Guarding Athena, 3C, Fantasy Cao Cao, and Rich World.

It even gave birth to something like《DOTA》Classic games of this type, especially《DOTA》, it can be said that the MOBA era in the past and subsequent generations is inseparable from this game.

In the previous life, Blizzard created a map editor, which was actually just a small supplement to the content of"Warcraft", and did not realize how great a thing it was.

That's why there was a copyright dispute between Blizzard and Ice Frog over DOTA.

Knowing these contents, Chen Xu naturally would not despise the map editor in World of Warcraft.

But I want to do my best to make it more perfect.

After all, in the previous life, with the development of the times, the map editor of"Warcraft" was actually changed several times by great private players, and some more content was added.

In addition to the heroes, units, buildings and other elements in the game, as well as the content of each attribute.

Also included is a shaping of the game map.

Woods, water, and rocks. In addition, there are weather and time settings in the game. At the same time, time factors will also cause a state of neutral monsters, waking up or sleeping, including a visual field of view in the game, day and night. is different.

As time went by, Chen Xu improved the content of the game bit by bit.

In addition, he is also responsible for reviewing some original concept painting manuscripts submitted by Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu, and first produces an original painting.

It can be said that Chen Xu's work during this period was also quite heavy.

Including the output of the model and the corresponding action design, Chen Xu needs to give a detailed indicator, otherwise it will be difficult to produce.

Inside the studio of Fengyun Games.

Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu are currently optimizing and coloring an original line draft.

"The game Mr. Chen made this time is a little different! Dwarves, elves, orcs, undead, goblins, elemental creatures, so many different races!"Zhao Shan sighed with emotion.

"yes! And there are many types of buildings in the game!"Chen Qingzhu nodded lightly.

"But when it comes to so much content, I don’t know what the plot will be like. It seems that most RTS on the market don’t have any plot."Zhao Shan is also a little curious.

"I don’t know, but Mr. Chen must have his own ideas."Chen Qingzhu actually has some doubts in his heart.

"Regardless of the plot, this RTS will definitely become a classic!"With two dark circles under his eyes, Qin Yi next to him had just finished recording a piece of data and was very excited.

"Is it so exaggerated?"After hearing Qin Yi's words, Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu were a little surprised.

Although they are confident in the game they developed, after all, the finished product has not been released yet, and no one can say what it will be like.

"You haven’t produced the data content and don’t understand it. What should I say? When this game comes out, no matter whether it is domestic or foreign, in terms of RTS, our"Warcraft" will be ranked first, and no one dares to be ranked second!"Qin Yi looked excited. He had been building a numerical model in the past few days, and coupled with the numerical filling tasks given to him by Chen Xu, he was completely convinced.

Although what Chen Xu gave him was basically Table, but as a game practitioner, although he has not officially obtained the title of game designer, Qin Yi can get a glimpse of it.

Comparing other RTS on the market, in terms of game content, Qin Yi dares to say that none of them can call taxi

"Okay, stop bragging, it’s still early for the game to be finished!"Chen Xu walked out of the office and heard Qin Yi yelling over there.

With a smile on his face, Chen Xu walked up to everyone and handed the compiled line draft to Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu.

"The line drawings of several main characters in the game have been completed, and the subsequent coloring will just follow my requirements."Chen Xu said to Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu.

Taking the thick line draft from Chen Xu's hand, looking at the picture on the first draft paper, their eyes widened so much that the boss let out a burst of exclamation.

"Oh My God!"
