Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

《As for the game"Escape", its most essence is that the protagonist of the game is set as an ordinary person with little fighting ability.

The biggest advantage of this is that it allows players to better integrate into it.

Thereby feeling a sense of fear.

The second is the mode of the camera’s night vision function.

For horror games, dark scenes are an everlasting melody.

But it cannot be completely dark, because if it is too dark, the player's experience will be very poor.

How to play if you can't find the road?

So there is a nuclear flashlight in a traditional game.

But it's different in"Escape". Most of the scenes are not pitch black, they can only be described as dim.

But there are also extremely dark scenes, and in these scenes you need to use the camera's night vision function to see everything clearly.

The ability to see the unknown darkness clearly is what players need most when playing horror games.

In"Escape", this kind of thing that players need most is bundled with the thing that most needs to be faced directly in horror games, darkness.

In addition, the battery of the camera is limited, which makes the player fall into a kind of anxiety and slowly develop fear, because the player never knows what will happen next moment, and will subconsciously worry about what will happen after the battery runs out.

At the same time, this can also allow players to better make reasonable arrangements according to the game rhythm.

"As for this game, everyone should be careful not to reveal their secrets when contacting the outsourcing team. Our current identity is a group of unknown small game companies. This is a game that we have burnt the boat."Chen Xu said to everyone in the office.

It is not the same as the previous games such as"League of Legends". The entire development of"Escape" left Chen Xu aside, just Qin Yi and the four of them.

Mainly for the sake of better confidentiality. Measures.

Of course, another point is that this game is really developed according to a small-scale cost game.

The motion capture and art resources are also outsourced.

There is not much problem in this aspect.

Motion capture It sounds high-end, but in fact it is a relatively common technology.

And"Escape" does not have very high requirements for the materials produced by motion capture.

Basically, a few ordinary movements are enough.

For specific facial expressions, subsequent manual fine-tuning is enough.

"Escape" itself does not have so high requirements for the expressiveness of the characters in the game.

What is more focused on is the atmosphere of the game.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we understand."Qin Yi nodded and responded.

Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu next to them did not speak, and made an OK gesture. After confirming the development of"Escape" with everyone, Chen Xu soon also entered a working state..

Putting aside Jiang Bin's words, Qin Yi, Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu have been working together since"Three Kingdoms". The tacit understanding of the entire team is basically perfect.

As for this game, Jiang Bin is responsible for writing the plot with Chen Xu.

At the same time, there are also game levels, a logic for monster activities, etc.

The progress of the entire game development can be said to be very smooth.

………………

At this stage of the secret development of"Escape" on Chen Xu's side.

Tenghua, Yilong and Interactive Entertainment have also made considerable moves during this period.

The first is an explanation of the changes to the recommendation rules on the platform.

At the same time, we have signed exclusive game terms with some independent game designers and some third- and fourth-tier game manufacturers.

In addition, Tenghua, Interactive Entertainment and Yilong also launched an independent game award competition.

Carry out the selection of outstanding games on the channel platform.

It's just written on the bright side that this is for Fengyun Games.

Although Tenghua, Yilong and Interactive Entertainment, in fact, their reputation in the channel circle is not very good.

Otherwise, there would not have been a word-of-mouth crisis for Tenghua.

And at that time, Chen Xu also benefited from that wave of traffic dividends.

But no matter what, the size of these three companies is still here.

If there are better choices, then more game designers will naturally be willing to go to a more relaxed game platform.

But for now, the feeling given to game designers in the industry is that channel vendors like Tenghua are really too fierce.

On the other hand, Fengyun Games didn't seem to have much movement.

The game industry is also constantly discussing this

"By the way, is there really no movement on Chen Xu's side? It feels like Fengyun Gaming Platform has been completely suppressed!"

"Originally, I was going to wait and see. Although Tenghua also contacted me some time ago, if Fengyun Game Platform can make a living, then I still want to go to Fengyun Game Platform."

"With Chen Xu’s character, I feel like it’s impossible to be so indifferent!"

"Just wait and see, there's no need to be in such a hurry"

"There are still about two months until the development cycle of my next game. If Fengyun Game Platform does not improve by then, then I will just stick to Tenghua."

"I feel like Chen Xu is really having a hard time with this game platform thing, ugh!"

With the action of Tenghua's three major companies, the game industry is also talking about it.

Of course, more game designers still maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, the development cycle of a game is not short, and things like platform disputes, It is impossible to tell the winner in an instant.

Tenghua has already made a move, and everyone in the gaming industry is also preparing to see what Fengyun Games means.

At this time, Chen Xu is not too anxious.

He just speeds up the response. A game development for"Escape".

At the same time, Chen Xu was also paying attention to Fengyun Game Platform to see if there were any games that were on the market during this period.

Although there were not many, Chen Xu did find a few games of acceptable quality.

After all, although Tenghua University is aggressive, there are actually many game designers who are dissatisfied with Tenghua University's overbearing strategy.

Fengyun Game Platform also makes them willing to give it a try. After all, the worst is the official game platform.

These Regarding this game, Chen Xu also specifically contacted the other company and the game designer.

He said that he would continue to make recommendations in the future, but he signed a confidentiality agreement in the early stage to ensure that the information would not be leaked.
