The basics of game design, from getting started to entering the grave

Chapter 23 The first system starts construction
"Your foot is fine, remember to return the crutch to me."

"...Oh, good, good."

Jiang Qiuqi replied in a daze.

It seems that he didn't notice, and her hanging heart let go again.

The evening rush hour has passed, but the traffic flow on the road has not decreased at all.

Some people rode a small electric donkey back and forth among the cars, and some stood in the bus with a numb face, and when they were squeezed by the people next to them, they just replied indifferently, "It's okay."

Sitting in the car, Jiang Qiuqi was rarely concerned about other people's lives.

are they happyAre you tired?Are you busy for your love, or just for your life?
In a daze, she saw the man riding a small electric donkey with his wife and children behind him. Their faces were dark, but they couldn't hide their joy.With the dangerous and exciting traffic flow, there was an exclamation from time to time.

Perhaps happiness does not come entirely from work, and simplicity can make you happier.

Jiang Qiuqi's eyes fell on Tiancheng who was concentrating on driving.

Compared with Yin Qiang, she is much simpler.

She sighed.

Compared with Yin Qiang and Tiancheng, she certainly hopes that Tiancheng will get more and better.

But at the moment, I can only hope that the company will go well and there will be no more troubles.

doorstep.

Jiang Qiuqi said goodbye to Tiancheng, turned around and saw Jiang Min sitting on the steps.

"Why don't you go in?" She pressed her fingerprints.

"Mom urged me to hand in the plan again!"

Jiang Min scratched his hair irritably. "Sister, where is your original plan? Let me copy it."

The plan refers to the personal development plan.Jiang Qiuqi has written about this since he can remember.

As big as what university you want to go to and what job to look for, as small as the minimum ranking in the final exam and the minimum score for each subject, you have to list them carefully.

It is said that Tang Zhiliang has been carrying out such a plan in the department, so there are endless talents in their department.

In doing so, she brought her work habits home.

"Your own life, how can you copy my plan?" Jiang Qiuqi closed the door and sat beside him.

"Tell me what you want."

"Sister! I'm also 22 years old, and I'm a competent adult!" He looked anxious.

"so what?"

Jiang Qiuqi stared at his face, always feeling that he was a little different from before.

Jiang Min felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he picked up a branch and scratched on the ground.

"I...I want to play professionally..." he mumbled.

"Ah? What did you say?" Jiang Qiuqi didn't hear clearly.

Jiang Min opened and closed his mouth, and muttered again in a low voice.

"Jiang Min!" She said in a deep voice, "If you are embarrassed to say it, how can others believe that you are willing to keep doing it?"

Jiang Min dropped the branch, turned to face Jiang Qiuqi, and took a deep breath.

"I said, I want to play professionally, to be a professional gamer."

?

Jiang Qiuqi was full of doubts, thinking that Jiang Min might be affected by her emotions, he quickly turned aside and coughed a few times.

In her impression, Jiang Min didn't play games much when he was a child.She played Contra and Mario with her father, while he was shooting basketball.

If he said he wanted to be a basketball player, she would understand a little bit.

"Uh... what game is it?"

Jiang Qiuqi remained rational and decided to ask the matter clearly first.

"CF."

"Why do you want to play professionally? What can playing professionally bring you? How popular is this game in China now? What is your level?"

Jiang Qiuqi blurted out.

"Sister!" Jiang Min stood up angrily.

"It turns out that you are not like this! Why are you like your parents now, you have to ask the reason clearly before doing anything?

I wanted to play professionally, I just wanted to, and wanted to do it right away.I don't want to think about whether it is suitable, whether it is useful, or whether I can persist until the end. "

Jiang Qiuqi touched his wrist and lowered his head.

Jiang Min was right, if it was her in the past, she would only tell her younger brother to try bravely, no matter what, the family will always be his backing.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Min." She apologized. "It's because I have been stunned by work recently. I have to consider the purpose and thinking plan when thinking about everything."

"Sister, are you happy with your work?" Jiang Min sat down with a straight posture.

He also knew that his sister cared about him. Before that, he used his sister as an example in everything and secretly planned to go abroad to study in graduate school.

I thought that the two of them would walk hand in hand according to the script of "Life Winner", but Jiang Qiuqi jumped out of the car halfway and found her love.

He was not convinced and didn't want to lose. By chance, he started playing CF.

"Happy." Jiang Qiuqi replied quickly. "The feeling of going from an idea to a team is really amazing."

She thought about the planning work in the past few days. Although various accidents emerged one after another, she also finished writing the first planning case and felt a small sense of accomplishment.

"And, I'm pretty sure now, I like the feeling of making games."

She unconsciously smiled contentedly.

"But, you didn't know until you tried it, didn't you?" Jiang Min looked anxiously.

Jiang Qiuqi paused.

Indeed, if there was no presentation, no strange interviews later, and more importantly, she hadn’t really written a plan to start the company, maybe she wouldn’t know that making games is such an experience.

"Xiao Min," she figured it out.

"Be brave and do it.

Do what you want to do, even if it is difficult to try.After all, apart from your parents and brother, you also have a sister. "

"Okay!" Jiang Min smiled, turned and ran away.

Jiang Qiuqi lay on the bed early.

Recently, she has always been influenced by other people to do some angry things.

For example, Chu Jukun's provocation made her work secretly behind her back, overdrawing her body; Yin Qiang even changed her impression of Hao Zhuang, constantly thinking about the relationship between the few of them, overdrawing her energy.

In the end, she wasted the whole afternoon to rest.

What's more... She raised her hand, blocked the light, and then moved away.

When facing Jiang Min tonight, what she blurted out was so surprising to herself.

Is she too self-interested?

This is the case for Jiang Min, even the worry about Tiancheng is placed after the impact on the company.

Some of her traits seem to be changing quietly.

On the sea level, the strong white dove crossed the horizon and disappeared into the sky.The morning breeze can always soothe the restless mind.

"Morning, Master!"

Full of energy, Jiang Qiuqi sat on the desk and turned on the computer.

"He recovered so quickly? You are in good health." Wang Shuo's tone was full of surprise. Is this a young man?
"Oh, by the way, I discussed it with Chu Jukun yesterday, and I will revise your plan again, and the production process will start this week."

"Ah, I still need to change it." Jiang Qiuqi was like a leaky ball, and the only sense of accomplishment was lost.

"It's normal. The plan always needs to be adjusted, and you need to accept it. Besides, your change is so small that you can't make it within 10 minutes. How about I treat you to milk tea?"

Jiang Qiuqi came over shaking his chair, looked at Wang Shuo and nodded desperately.

Wang Shuo smiled helplessly. As expected, the apprentice was still a child, so he had to be coaxed.

"This change is mainly to increase the versatility of the function. Simply put, it can be used here after it is done, and it can be used elsewhere."

Jiang Qiuqi nodded.It sounds like there is indeed a need for modification.

"I'm going to teach you how to do it next."

Wang Shuo opened the document and created a new form.

"In game design, a lot of data can't just rely on code, planning needs to control some things by yourself.

For example, the attributes of a piece of equipment, the name of the event, the system email sent temporarily, and so on.

These are realized through the table, we call it 'configuration table'. "

Wang Shuo paused for a moment, his eyes filled with inquiries.

Jiang Qiuqi nodded again after receiving the signal.

"The configuration table is composed of two parts, the header and the data. It's a bit similar... Qiu Qi, what is your major?"

"I... Japanese."

Jiang Qiuqi's eyes were a little confused, what does this have to do with profession?
"Oh... Then your major is not easy to compare. This may be more like the kind of finance... Uh, forget it, I don't know much, and you probably don't understand either."

Wang Shuo failed to give an example, frowning and struggling for a long time before giving up.

Jiang Qiuqi was at a loss. Does this example have to be given?

"Ahem, let me continue. Although the table structure of each company is somewhat different, the core principles are the same.

The header refers to the first row. It is necessary to list the name of each column of data. I will use mail distribution as an example. It must have a title, content, and sender, right?
These need to be written separately in the header.

Can you think of any data names that emails need? "

Wang Shuo asked again.

"Hmm...reward content? In-game emails often carry props or something."

"Yes, this is also a very important part. Of course, there may be some limited opening time or expiration time for this email, so this is also what is required in the configuration table."

"Understood, what you want in the function, you have to list it in the header."

"That's right." It was Wang Shuo's turn to nod.

Wang Shuo put down the mouse and looked at Jiang Qiuqi.

Jiang Qiuqi didn't understand why the teaching level suddenly stopped, and looked back with wide eyes.

After the two looked at each other for five seconds, it was Jiang Qiuqi who couldn't hold his breath first.

"and then?"

"Then? Then you go back to practice? List your functions." Wang Shuo couldn't laugh or cry, "What were you waiting for just now?"

"I thought the class wasn't over yet."

Jiang Qiuqi wrinkled his nose and returned to the computer with an awkward smile.

"I'll send you a copy of the previous configuration table for you to see. It will be more complicated, and it's all numerical. You can refer to it as much as possible. I'll guide you to modify it after writing it."

In the enterprise WeChat, the two started the file transfer mode again.

"Master, what are these English words used for?"

Jiang Qiuqi found that the form he sent contained not only the name just mentioned, but also a few lines of English below.

Some are in English corresponding to the names, which she can understand, but she doesn't understand the int and string below.

"Well, let's popularize science with you again, we call the name 'field', which corresponds to the program code.

Those English words are for the program, and can accurately associate the code with the form. "

"Why repeat two lines?"

Jiang Qiuqi asked again.

"Do you remember what I said before, the program is divided into two parts, the client and the server? These two lines are for both ends. The fields not used by the server can be left blank."

"What about int and string?"

"These are the types of data. int refers to numbers, and string refers to non-numeric characters. In fact, there are more, and you will know when you use them."

Jiang Qiuqi nodded.

Wang Shuo picked up the phone and shook it: "Are there any questions? If not, I want to start the countdown?"

"Ah?" Jiang Qiuqi suddenly became nervous.

"Ah what, I've been talking for 10 minutes, I need to put some pressure on you."

Wang Shuo spoke nervous words with ease.

On the screen of the mobile phone, the number 10 has changed to 9, and she immediately turned her head to make the configuration table.

"Unique ID, activation code name, activation code effective time..." Jiang Qiuqi whispered while typing.

"What is this for?"

After Qi Gaotian took the coffee, he saw Jiang Qiuqi sitting upright from a long distance, and couldn't help but lean over to find out.

"Hey, I'm giving her a test, let her finish it in 10 minutes, don't bother."

Qi Gaotian squinted his eyes and wanted to move forward, but was held back by Wang Shuo.

"You are really good. It's a pity not to be a teacher. There are so many ways? I will also use it for my team members when I go back."

After being stopped by Wang Shuo, his curiosity only increased. His body was gone, but his head was still looking around.

"oops."

The cup in his hand seemed to hit something, and he turned his head quickly.

Beautiful copywriting planning is within easy reach.

There was a coffee stain on Yin Qiang's short white T-shirt.

"Yes, I'm sorry, the coffee is probably not easy to wash, so I'll pay you one."

Yin Qiang didn't care about it, but smiled brightly.

"It's okay, Brother Monkey, this kind of clothes are very cheap, I'll just buy another one. Don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, she stood on tiptoe and approached Qi Gaotian, her hair brushing against his chin.

Qi Gaotian had a family for a long time, and his ears turned red from her sudden approach, so he couldn't help but look away.

"Brother Monkey, your family has Mei Short, right? There are so many hairs on the shoulders!"

She twirled a cat's hair and held it up to Qi Gaotian's eyes.

"Ah...oh, yes, my family is Meishang, and the hair loss is serious." Qi Gaotian recovered and stammered.

"Brother Monkey, don't worry about it. I'm just a little obsessive-compulsive. I don't feel comfortable if I don't take it off."

Yin Qiang explained.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qi Gaotian hurriedly took a sip of his coffee and was choked again.

"Cough cough..."

"Are you all right?" Yin Qiang said and moved closer.

"No, nothing, I'm going back to my work station."

He fled the scene like the wind, and the coffee cup shook all the way, forming a series of beautiful guiding lines on the ground.

"Complete!" Jiang Qiuqi happily clicked Save, then looked at Wang Shuo. "Master, the countdown is over! How long have I used it?"

Wang Shuo took off the earphones and pressed pause unhurriedly.

"3 minutes and 20 seconds." Wang Shuo raised his eyebrows. "It depends on how long you have to modify it. Send me the file."

Jiang Qiuqi checked it quickly and clicked send.

Wang Shuo watched quickly, and told her over and over again what she had missed, and what to think about next time.

The chat history of the two was filled with new file transfers again.

"9 minutes 31 seconds."

Wang Shuo finally pressed the stop button.

"Congratulations to Jiang Qiuqi for reaching the standard!"

"Yeah!" Jiang Qiuqi jumped up happily, as if he had achieved something extraordinary.

"Can you keep your voice down, and take this as your home?"

Chu Jukun shouted loudly without turning his head.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Jiang Qiuqi's smile faded immediately, and he clasped his hands together in front of his chest, apologizing to all colleagues.

She pouted and sat down resentfully.

"Okay, don't get too excited, let's see what to drink in the afternoon? Master's treat."

"Master is so kind!" Jiang Qiuqi was happy again.

The more familiar she gets with Wang Shuo, the more she feels that he is like a kind father.

When getting along with him, you don't have to wonder if the questions you ask will be pediatrics, and you don't have to worry about not doing things well.

He was always patient, gentle, and guided her forward in encouraging ways.

Jiang Qiuqi's heart is warm, and the workplace is really comfortable without thinking too much!

"Student Qiu Qi, may I bother you~?"

Yin Qiang walked towards her gracefully.

"My clothes are dirty, do you have any replacements? Lend me to wear them."

　I'm the donkey of the production team, I don't need to rest!
