Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

The two periods approaching Christmas and Spring Festival are basically the time when major game manufacturers make efforts.

Whether domestic or foreign.

But compared to the past, the focus will be on the field of VR games.

This time, the two game manufacturers, Tenghua and Yilong, did not carry out in-depth development of VR as before.

And they have announced news about setting up projects on the PC platform.

Its purpose is naturally self-evident.

The current development of Fengyun Game Platform is obviously unshakable from the grassroots level.

And its platform also has a killer game like"League of Legends".

Although Tenghua previously launched"Heroic Arena" in an attempt to compete with it, the result, apart from causing some turmoil at the beginning, soon went cold.

So Tenghua and Yilong also changed their strategies.

Prepare to fight Fengyun Games with real swords and guns.

How to spell it?

That is naturally a call for head games.

So this time Tenghua and Yilong have sent their well-known game designers and studios to prepare to develop a masterpiece each to impact the Fengyun game platform.

……………………

In the office of Fengyun Games.

Chen Xu was typing on the keyboard on the desktop.

On the computer screen in front of him, the design concept draft of"Dark Soul" was displayed.

The entire concept draft took Chen Xu almost more than a day.

Of course not a complete concept draft.

It only briefly mentioned the core elements of the game, but there was no more extensive content, including detailed plots.

After all, it is just a first draft, just to let everyone in the team better understand the inner core of this game.

After completing the first draft of a concept, Chen Xu called everyone into the conference room for a meeting.

These days, apart from preparations for the"League of Legends" e-sports plan, the main topic online is discussing the new game projects revealed by Tenghua and Yilong.

It is clear that this is the last resort of the two giants in the industry against the Fengyun gaming platform.

An honest attack.

The industry is discussing it, and people within the company are also discussing it.

"There is a lot of commotion in Tenghua and Yilong channels. Mr. Chen should have a way to deal with it, right?"

"Certainly, Mr. Chen has been busy with the e-sports layout of"League of Legends" some time ago and doesn't have much time. Now that"League of Legends" is basically stable, it's almost time."

"It is very possible that Mr. Chen called us today to announce the new game, right?"

"It should be, I just don’t know what type of new game it is!"

Everyone in the conference room was discussing in a low voice.

However, as Chen Xu pushed the door open and entered, everyone immediately became quiet.

"I believe everyone has basically already made a guess about the content of today’s meeting, and yes, it is a new game."

Chen Xu connected the computer to the projector next to him, put his hands on the table, and said with a smile.

"I won’t say any more, but let me first introduce you to the game project. As for the theme, it is a Western fantasy-themed story."

After hearing Chen Xu's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Western fantasy theme?

Is it a sequel to"Warcraft"?

Facing everyone's doubts, Chen Xu also smiled and shook his head:"No, although it is also an epic. level story, but not a Warcraft story, but a darker story."

"The game itself mainly prefers a level-driven gameplay mode. Of course, it is not the so-called linear level-driven aspect. I will talk about it later. Let’s talk about the art style first. It is quite different from the games we have made so far."

"The overall theme is based on deep and dark realistic art. At the same time, the appearance of the entire game is based on Western European architecture. At the same time, the game has different areas, Fran Fortress, Undead Town, Cold Lie Valley, etc., which will cover different cultural elements. , such as Baroque architectural style and Romanesque churches."

Chen Xu looked at everyone and analyzed.

If the story of"Dark Soul" is the skeleton and the gameplay is the soul, then one of the artistic expressions of the game is obviously the skin.

And the skin of"Dark Soul" is definitely not Bad.

Classic Western European architecture, combined with a dark art style, and medieval-like cold weapon armor and weapon shapes. The visual effects of"Dark Soul" can directly hit the player's heart.

Next Chen Xu told everyone about some systems in"Dark Soul".

For example, the combat system. In addition to invincible roll, shield counter, backstab, and durability, there are actually settings in most ACT games.

There are also There will be some special settings.

For example, various weapons have their own special combat skills. In addition, there are a large number of weapons, shields, and armors in the game.

At the same time, it is different from the previous life where there was a game editor. Chen Xu It can also make the visual expression of the game better.

For example, wearing different armor, the difference in the previous"Dark Soul" is basically the blood loss after being attacked, the consumption of durability, and the speed of action. This part.

Now, some detailed effects can be added.

For example, a visual feedback after being attacked.

But the only thing that makes people feel a little surprised is the difficulty of the game"Dark Soul" It seems to be very high.

Others only guessed from Chen Xu's idea of ​​​​the map design and the concept of BOSS's design in the game.

But Qin Yi, who is responsible for the data, can clearly understand from what Chen Xu said In the content, he felt an effect brought by the game after the actual product was finished.

But he didn't think much about it.

After all, it is a game.

Isn't it normal to have various difficulty options?

There are high difficulties and naturally there are low difficulties.

Maybe one of Mr. Chen’s current design concepts is to base it on the highest difficulty level?

Besides, difficulty can also be modified after the actual effect of the game is released. No matter how powerful the BOSS is, it cannot withstand the modification of data. Ah.

One sword to the east, one sword to the west. In the last version, you were the big BOSS who destroyed the world, but in the next version, you can become a husky who can only act cute.
