Chapter 17 Eat beans, let’s do it!
He was sure that using this game to compete with Soaring Dragon was not his impulse. Of course he wanted to play a top game like "League of Legends", but he had no choice. First of all, his current ability was far from being able to play such a game. Secondly, he is alone, with no team and no funds. Even if these two games are finished and put in front of him now, he cannot run them.

He had to eat his meal one bite at a time. He was still young, so there was no need to worry.

The number of games he can make by himself now is actually not too many, not too much. Just like Xiaoxiaole, the size of new games cannot be too big, otherwise one month will be too late.

The art requirements can be slightly increased. After all, I still have about 30 yuan left on hand. Even if I can't draw it myself, I can still afford it by outsourcing it.

Music and sound effects don’t need to be too restrictive. After all, my sister and senior sister are both big guys in the music department, so it’s definitely not a problem to ask them for a little help.

It is best not to make the level design too complicated. After all, the effect of memory jelly beans is limited, and he noticed half a month ago that the memory strengthened by memory jelly beans is only a short-term enhancement of memory. After a long time, it will also be forgotten. , the details gradually blur.

His current level design ability is only level 2, and he expects to design it himself, unless it is simple enough.

Therefore, it is best to rely on memory jelly beans to memorize this part. If it is too complicated, the entire memory strengthening time will be spent on memorizing level details, which is obviously unreasonable.

As for the numerical value, he is now much more confident than before. After all, he has upgraded to level 2. The current numerical level of level 4 can still cope with some games that do not require too high numerical values. There is no big problem.

Of course there is more than one action game that meets these requirements in my mind, but after all considerations, "Dead Cells" is the most suitable.

There is no doubt about the success of "Dead Cells". As a pixel-style rougelike independent game, in its previous life, it won the 2018 TGA Best Action Game of the Year award in one fell swoop, overpowering many 3A masterpieces and achieving the true God-killing Certificate. road. 【Note 1】【Note 2】

至于这个奖项的含金量，只需要知道同时被提名的其他四款游戏便足可见，它们分别是《使命召唤15：黑色行动4》、《命运2:遗弃》、《孤岛惊魂5》和《洛克人11》。

Being able to stand out among a group of gods, win the first place, and even be called an independent masterpiece, "Dead Cells" naturally has its own merits.

Refreshing and smooth fighting experience, highly replayable rouge mechanism, rich weapon system, flexible weapon skill matching, and non-linear customs clearance process.

It can be said that as a small-scale game made in a desperate situation where the company is about to close down, "Dead Cells" has almost maximized its own advantages.

Gu Feng minimized the document, took out a memory jelly bean and threw it into his mouth.

Although "Dead Cells" is only a small game, even after the 2.7 DLC was released in the previous life, the installation package size did not exceed 1.5G, but the huge game content and details contained in "Dead Cells" are Extremely terrifying.

Even if you successfully complete the feat of clearing 5 cells, you still can't remember everything.

The memory jelly beans took effect. He put his knuckles on his eyebrows and closed his eyes to recall.

Because there are only 6 memory jelly beans in total, he must make full use of the time of each one and ensure that all the things recalled by the previous memory jelly bean are recorded or realized before swallowing the next one.

For the first memory jelly bean, he is going to recall the level, that is, the map. Although most of the map scenes in "Dead Cells" are randomly generated, the special mechanisms in each map scene will not change, including monsters. Type, time-limited door, hidden snow area, etc.

Since the exploration of "Dead Cells" is not linear, except for the Star Observation Laboratory and Observatory in the 2.7 update, each map has at least two exits that can lead to two different maps, and some maps have three. exit.

The different exits corresponding to each map generally consist of an unconditionally passable entrance and an entrance that requires special conditions to pass. This special condition may be a rune, a key, or a corresponding cell difficulty.

Following the clearance process of playing games in the past, he began to concentrate on memorizing the details of each map.

The first map, the prisoner's cell.The map always contains two power scrolls, drops level 1 equipment, and he remembers the probability of a cursed chest appearing very clearly, 1%.The first time you enter can only go to the Avenue of the Guilty. You can only enter the poisonous sewer after killing the undead archer behind the light door in the avenue of the guilty to obtain the vine rune. Killing the elite monster in the poisonous sewer can obtain the teleportation rune. The prisoner The prison cell can be used to travel to the Abandoned Botanical Garden through the teleportation rune.

There are three hidden drawings in this picture. After the third resurrection, you can jump onto the left platform and roll into the hidden snow area to get the Swift Bow.On the left platform, climb the wall to the top of the wall, jump to the right twice and roll to enter the hidden snow area, and get out of the battle line.The third one is relatively simple. At the entrance of the Guilty Road, you can get the sword blueprint by looking through the corpse.

Then came the monsters…

Gu Feng was not impatient. He carefully remembered every detail he recalled and combined these things with his original understanding.

Soon, half an hour passed, and I recalled more things than I expected.

Because of the special mechanism of the game, it can be said that any player who has cleared the five cells will almost feel like going home the moment he steps into the cell. Each map contains something, what monsters are there, and the monster's skill mechanism. Wait, they probably know better than the designers.

Gu Feng clearly remembers that there is a sentence on the wall of the map in the original game, translated into Chinese, it means "Practice more food", this sentence can be said to be a spoof by the designer, but it is indeed the spirit of this game , Only after experiencing countless deaths and countless rebirths can one transform into a real strong man in this game.

Because he hasn't touched this game for at least three months. Although he still remembers many things, it is not so clear. Now, relying on the memory jelly beans, he has once again found the pleasure of killing monsters heartily.

Opening his eyes, he started writing a design book.

Since the mechanics and content of "Dead Cells" are far more complex than those of "Happy Xiaoxiaole", it was impossible for him to just write a simple design book and start working on it directly.

Maps, character attributes, weapons, props, skills, pets, monsters, combat mechanisms, he divided the functions one by one by module, then created sub-modules under each functional module, and then determined the needs of each sub-module or Detailed or simple description.

During this period, Zhang Qiang passed by behind him several times. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, Gu Feng always switched the screen to other interfaces before he passed by.

After all, the other party is from Longteng, and the project he is in is his direct competitor, and the relationship between the two is not good at all. Although I don't know if the other party has any other intentions, it's not good for him to pay more attention bad thing.

In fact, Zhang Qiang did have his own thoughts. When he heard Gu Feng's intensive and crisp typing on the keyboard, he secretly turned around and took a look. Seeing what document the other person was writing, he wanted to take a look at what he was doing while passing by. What is it, is it a new feature of Happy Xiaoxiaole or the next new game to be made.

However, what made him extremely upset was that Gu Feng, an abominable guy, actually defended him like a thief. When he got up, he was still typing, but he just took two steps in his direction, so he directly alt+tab Everything about the interface is removed, leaving an empty and tidy desktop for him to enjoy.

What's even more annoying is that when Gu Feng went out for dinner, he wanted to secretly open Gu Feng's computer to find out what was going on. When he saw the system prompting him to enter the power-on password, everyone else was dumbfounded. He was sure that , Gu Feng never set a password before.

Can there still be some trust between people?He was so angry that his teeth ached.

　[Note 1] rougelike: commonly known as meat pigeon game.This type of game has two significant features. One is permanent death. As the name suggests, if you die in the game, you are dead. If you die, there is no save and you can only restart from the point of birth.The second is to randomly generate maps. Every time you enter, the map is randomly generated again, allowing players to get a new experience every time. The advantage of this is that it can maximize the continuous playability and freshness of the game.
