Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 63 "StarCraft" Project Establishment

Why did he forget about this type of game before?

If you think about it carefully, RTS is indeed the most suitable choice for the studio's current manpower and its current capabilities.

If he develops an RTS from scratch, he must have no confidence. Although the RTS itself does not seem complicated, the design of the core elements of the game is really difficult.

RTS doesn’t look like the game looks big, but in fact the map resource is the main resource that takes up the most resources.

This aspect is nothing to Gu Feng who has memory jelly beans. Anyway, once he eats jelly beans, he can remember all the maps he has played before. It's done.

To say that the real difficulty in RTS production is the balance of values. After all, it is a competitive game. If the balance is not done well, no matter how well other things are done, it will be putting the cart before the horse.

There are also many classic RTSs in the previous life, but the only ones that truly achieve the ultimate balance are Warcraft and Interstellar.And it just so happens that these two games are made by the same company - Blizzard!
Since he decided to make an RTS, Gu Feng naturally had to choose the best one.

He has played Warcraft, StarCraft, Red Alert, and Empire, and can be considered a loyal RTS player.

If there was no StarCraft 2, he might still be struggling between Warcraft and StarCraft 1.

But with StarCraft 2, a masterpiece known as the masterpiece of RTS, this is not a problem that needs to be considered at all.

Gu Feng finally had a goal for the next game, and his mood immediately improved. He patted Nie Tian on the shoulder with his backhand: "Thanks, Old Nie, I have thought about it. The next game will be an RTS!"

After saying that, he stopped staying and couldn't wait to walk towards the second floor. He didn't like procrastination in doing things, so he would do it as soon as he thought of it.

The group of people looked at Gu Feng's hurried away figure and looked at each other.

"Did Lao Gu say he wants to do RTS?"

"Well... it seems to be."

"Wuhu!" The crowd cheered.

Everyone else in the store turned their heads with dissatisfaction, wanting to see which lunatic was howling.

In the Rookie Era group.

"Sky: Super nickname! Chuxin Studio is preparing to make an RTS for its next game!"

"Fuck? Really?"

"Isn't it right? I don't think Maple God's movements are talking about the dancing lines?"

"Sky: You're stupid, the dancing line is in internal testing, which means it will be finished soon. Lao Gu just said it himself, the next one will be an RTS!"

"Turtle! Maple God Niubi! I hope the new game will be released soon. I can't play this Era of Chickens for a second!"

"White: Fidelity?"

"Sky: @White, Mr. Bai, why don't you pretend to be dead now? Dress up as a woman!"

"Dog: @White, Mr. Bai, don't you pretend to be dead now? Wearing women's clothes!"

"VV: @White, Mr. Baiyi, don't you pretend to be dead now? Women's clothes!"

"Milk: @White, Mr. Bai, are you pretending to be dead now? Dressing up as a woman!"

"Holy shit! The masters are all pretending to be dead? Are you taking a group photo in the front row? By the way, @White, your uncle, aren't you pretending to be dead now? Are you dressing up in women's clothes!"

……

"White: [Picture]"

The picture shows a tall, thin young man with a relatively delicate appearance, but the sailor suit he is wearing is really eye-catching.

As soon as the photos of women's clothing were released, there was a long list of news about vomiting.

"White: @Sky, can you say it now?"

"Sky: It's [-]% true. I reminded Lao Gu to do RTS."

"VV: Yes, I will give Xiao Tiantian a great credit."

"Dog: Okay, ok, @Sky, follow up the progress at all times, don't let Maple God be lazy."

When Nie Tian was reminded like this, he immediately felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders when he thought of Gu Feng, who usually came down to fish from time to time.

"Sky: No problem."

Gu Feng hung a sign on the door of his office that said "Retreat for practice, don't disturb!" and locked himself in the room.

Everyone looked at each other.

"what's the situation?"

"I can't."

Wen Meng, who was playing with the new level of Xiaoxiao Le, took a sip of rose tea and said calmly: "Just wait for the meeting. The design draft and concept drawings of the new game are coming soon."

"No way, I haven't heard about the new game." Cheng Qiang looked unbelieving.

"I hope what Mengmeng said is true. I've been idle these days." said a round-faced girl with a little baby fat. Her computer was currently open and hanging, and she was wearing half of her headphones. It was a great time to play with the dancing thread.

The girl’s name is Wu Ya, 25 years old, a character original artist, known as a character original artist. In fact, she has never really drawn a character-related original painting since entering the studio. There is no way, there are only four games now that don’t have it. needs in this regard.

Therefore, her job has always been the easiest, and she basically just helps other people by doing whatever they can.

Gu Feng was afraid that she would be too idle, so he also found something for her to do. The assigned tasks were not difficult, so he let her draw two-dimensional characters as she pleased.

"Don't mention it, the dancing line is really fun, and the music in the desert level is so touching." Wu Ya praised from the bottom of her heart.

"The score is written by the boss, and the piano is played by the boss of Clivia. Isn't it normal that it sounds good?" Wen Meng has unknowingly become a die-hard fan of Gu Feng.

More than four hours later, with half an hour left until the time to get off work, Gu Feng's closed office door finally opened.

"In the meeting, I will talk about the design draft of the new game and arrange the division of work tasks for the new game." Gu Feng walked to the conference room and glanced at everyone as he passed by, "Everyone is here."

The bewildered people looked at me, I looked at you, and finally all looked at Wen Meng who was calm as usual.

"It all depends on what I do. Let's go, it's a meeting." She locked the screen, picked up the pen and paper and stood up.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Gu Feng worked on the projector and briefly introduced: "The dancing line has reached the final stage. Next, everyone will focus on the new game. The new game we are going to make is a An RTS game.”

They are all practitioners in the game industry, so everyone here naturally understands what kind of game RTS is.

The boss deserves to be the boss, he only picks the hard ones to do.

Whether it is casual, puzzle, puzzle, or audio games, they are all types of games that have received poor market feedback. Even the only action game that is more popular, Gu Feng has taken a different approach and created his own genre.

So when I heard that the next game is going to be an RTS game, everyone's reaction was relatively calm.

As the design draft was put on the big screen, everyone saw the name of the new game.

"Starcraft".

Gu Feng walked to the big screen and began to explain.

If they didn't have a clear concept of "design drafts and concept drawings" that Wen Meng said before, now they fully understand it.

In addition to briefly mentioning the plot of the game, Gu Feng also talked about other aspects in great detail, including the arm settings, building settings, and technology trees of the three major races; the map mechanics in the map, such as crystal mines, gas mines, rocks, and lookouts. Towers; basic gameplay; campaign; map editor; ladder and season mechanics, etc.

Basically, just by listening to Gu Feng's description, they could already roughly imagine the finished effect of the game in their minds, and their interest was already aroused just by listening to it.

Then, Gu Feng began to explain the concept draft. Due to limited time, he just randomly drew a concept draft of a Zerg springtail. He drew this just to give everyone a simple understanding of the game style.

"Okay, let me arrange everyone's work next. Wen Meng, your task is mainly to write the front-end architecture. Wu Ya, I will give you the concept draft and detailed requirements of the springtail in a while. In the past two days, you can prepare the original painting of the springtail. Draw it first and let me take a look. I will try my best to draw the concept drafts of other arms and buildings in the next two days. For the time being, others should continue to finish the dance line."

After less than an hour of meeting, the StarCraft project was officially approved!

In the evening, Gu Lan sent him a message.

[Lan: Let me ask you something. 】

【maple:? 】

[Lan: Why do you want me and Junjun to start a company together? With the current operating conditions of Chuxin Studio, you can definitely go it alone. 】

Gu Feng smiled, yes, he can do it by himself, but he doesn't play games to make money, he lives a new life, and he sees many things more clearly than before. For things like money, enough is enough. There is always something more precious than money.

[Feng: Because you are my sister. 】

It took a while for the other person to reply.

[Lan: What about Junjun?Because I like it? 】

[Feng: That's probably true. I just don't want to see my senior enter the entertainment industry. This industry is too chaotic. I don't want to see any accidents happen to her.What's more, my senior loves music, and I can do the same if the entertainment industry can give her a stage. 】

[Lan: You are really...]

[Lan: If I like it, I like it. If you come up, I will give you shares directly. A girl with more vanity will definitely agree on the spot, but for Junjun, it may have the opposite effect.Believe it or not, even if she agrees in the end, she will definitely not want your shares. 】

[Feng: I really didn’t think too much about this. I just wanted to try my best to show my sincerity.But now it’s impossible to change my mind, so I can only wait and see. 】

Gu Feng really didn't think too much about it. For him, there is really not much difference between giving away 5% and giving away 15%. As long as he still controls more than 67% of the shares and ensures that he has the right to speak in the company, other shares will not matter to him. Here, it's just numbers.

Now that Gu Lan said this, he seemed to have thought something wrong.

[Feng: Sister, don’t you want to be polite to me too? 】

[Lan: I’m not too polite, but 5% is too much. Just give it what you want. One thousandth is enough. 】

【Feng: It's too little. If you earn 1000 million yuan a month, you won't get as much money as other employees.No, no, just 1%. 】

[Lan: It’s only one thousandth. If you want me to get more, let’s just work hard to make the company better. As long as the company earns hundreds of millions a month, I can’t earn a hundred thousand a month, hehe. 】

Gu Feng didn't know what to say, and felt warm inside.

One-thousandth is one-thousandth, sister, you still underestimate your brother's ability to make money.

[Feng: Sister, just wait until you become a multi-millionaire. 】

[Lan: OK, I'll wait. 】

【Lan: Come on together (_)】
