I! NS game designer

Chapter 3 Breath of the Wilderness
At this time, Wei Junjie returned to his office.

Of course, he was not idle, but opened his laptop and made a presentation of various game data and illustrations provided by the system.

First, let’s start with the positioning of the game.

open world!
explore!

action!

Then, based on the detailed content of the game and the current situation of the studio, it is broken down into level design, scene design, system design, scripts, values, etc.

A 3D picture emerged in Wei Junjie's mind.

This is his game template.

Time passed slowly, and soon, Wei Junjie's plan was written.

At this time, Wei Junjie also came to the door of the meeting room with the planning book.

Looking at the people in the conference room, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

The company also had its glory days. At that time, no one at home or abroad knew about the company's games. If you ask anyone born in the 80s and 90s about the first game console they played.

Then 90% of people will say, Ren Xiaotang game console.

It's just that basically everyone in the game department has passed away, leaving only a few old employees and the fresh blood who just graduated and entered the company.

Including him, there are only more than 20 people, which is standard equipment for a small studio, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Among the more than 20 people, there are planners, modelers, illustrators, and engineers, but these are all employees of the older generation.

After all, game design and software development work is not like other professions, where the older you get, the more delicious you are. This is what you eat when you are young.

"Hello, Mr. Wei!"

"Mr. Wei, please sit down."

Looking at everyone, Wei Junjie smiled lightly and said: "Today is a meeting for our company's games, so everyone doesn't have to be restrained."

"Okay, everyone, the content of today's meeting is very simple. Thank you for listening to Uncle Guoxing. Our company plans to make its own games." Wei Junjie looked around and said slowly.

When Wei Junjie spoke like this, the employees in the conference room started talking.

"I know what everyone is thinking. Can a company like ours make games?"

"I've been thinking about it, but I don't have an answer."

"However, have you forgotten the glory of our company more than 30 years ago? Why can we do it more than 30 years ago, but we can't now."

After Wei Junjie finished speaking, there was a silence in the conference room.

When everyone was silent, Wei Junjie picked up the planning book in his hand, walked to the copier, and printed out the planning book.

Distribute it to each person according to their different work divisions.

Pieces of paper and pieces of information were distributed by Wei Junjie to everyone.

Everyone took the planning document handed over by Wei Junjie, and everyone was shocked by this project.

"Zelda... Breath of the Wild..."

"Open world!"

"Console game?"

Everyone looked at the game plan in their hands, their eyes flashing.

No matter how you say it, no matter what happens now, they were once game designers who stood at the pinnacle of Chinese games.

Let’s look at the game’s temple design and gameplay, the infinite possibilities for character movement and exploration.

They were also amazed by the content in the planning book. These are brand-new ways of playing that have never been seen in this world! !
Taking the vast world as the stage, no matter where you go or what you do, the adventure is all up to you.

Survive by hunting wild animals?To destroy monsters?Visit all the attractions?

Run, swim, glide, climb, and enjoy free adventures in the vast world.

Seeing the planning book in front of them, everyone's morale was high.

I am not old yet, and I still have the ability to cause an uproar in the world.

However, the next thing that comes to mind is whether the company has the ability to make games on its own now?The requirements described by Wei Junjie in the planning book are not low!
"Boss, this open world really shocked me. Can we really do the open world you mentioned?"

"In my opinion, this is a work of art, a work of art that belongs to gamers!"

"I'm not worried about the sales of this game, but I'm suddenly afraid that I'll ruin the game myself. I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it well."

"I'm not questioning my ability to work, I'm afraid of my ability and not being able to do it well!"

Everyone's eyes were full of suspicion. After all, such an idea was too crazy.

They believe players will love this game because it's a brand new game, and it's a brand new world!

And there are also technical issues involved, which makes them even more worried. "Everyone, be confident. People should be confident, right? Don't doubt your abilities!" Wei Junjie still had that gentle smile on his face and spoke in a very steady tone.

But after hearing this, everyone in the conference room fell silent.

yes!They should be confident.

"Okay! Let's give it a try, but I hope our company can make this game good."

"Yes, do this game well."

Wei Junjie's words made the atmosphere in the conference room a little more lively.

They feel that this boss is very extraordinary. He not only saves the company from disaster, but he can also turn the world into a game.Bringing you an unprecedented level.

"Wait a minute, the game is so good, what if someone plagiarizes it?" an employee suddenly said at this time.

For a moment, everyone was suddenly silent.

If you make it...

What should you do if you encounter someone plagiarizing?
After all, if the game you worked so hard to create is plagiarized by others, you will be in a lot of trouble.

No one can stand it.

"Anyway, as long as it's not plagiarizing IP characters, infringing rights or maliciously registering patents, that's fine." Wei Junjie let out a sigh of relief.

After all, plagiarism is inevitable. If you make the game industry bigger in the future,

Everyone will copy a little bit, and they will just file lawsuits all day long.

This kind of thing has not happened.

"After we make it, you don't have to worry. After all, the company is not stupid and will definitely make a set of reasonable protective measures." Wei Junjie said.

After hearing Wei Junjie's words, everyone in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, in their opinion, such a game will definitely be successful, and it will also be a popular game.

Just imitate it.

If you add more disgusting words.

Wait until the company has money in the future.

He doesn't mind learning a bit about Nintendo from his previous life.

Establish "the strongest legal department in the Eastern Hemisphere!"

Many people will only absorb the advantages of popular games in the past and collect the interesting parts together, but doing so will always be seen through by users.

What users are pursuing is always original fun.

Taking a step back, Wei Junjie himself does not want to use these game patents to block others. The old man cannot do it, nor can he do it, nor can Ren Xiaotang.

You can "learn from" and I don't mind, because my dream is to let people all over the world play a good game, or maybe I don't want to be a monopoly.

Maybe I will hold a seminar to teach you how to make this type of game.

But if some shameless manufacturers come over and say that these patent rights belong to you, I will send a lawyer's letter directly to your door the next day.

In a word, you can use these patents as you like, and it’s okay to just transfer them, but don’t say they are your own original creations, otherwise!
"But boss, what about our physics engine? After all, the technology required in the game is not low." At this time, an employee asked a question.

The physics engine can be a keyword engine in a game.

At this time, Wei Junjie was silent for a while and said slowly: "As for our physics engine, we will use the one from the havok company. And remember, didn't my dad and the others make an engine before? Let's use that one first, and wait until we have the funds. , developing new engines.”

In September 2007, Intel announced the acquisition of Havok. Shortly thereafter, Intel announced that the Havok engine was open source and allowed game developers to use it for free.

Havok focuses on game simulation technology.The Havok Physics physics engine it contains is the leader in the field of physics simulation computing engines and the first of the three major physics engines in the world.

The physics engine used in Breath of the Wild is exactly this engine.

As for the other one, there is no relevant information on the Internet, but Wei's engine is almost the same as the Unity engine, and may be better than it.

Looking at the people in front of him, Wei Junjie said to everyone:

"I only have one request for this game. What it is like in reality, it should be like in the game.

You will fall when it rains while climbing a mountain. The fire you lit in the game will be extinguished by the rain. Link will feel hot when he is in the desert, and Link will feel cold when he is in the snowy mountain!

Can everyone do it! "

Seeing Wei Junjie's expectant eyes, everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

Wei Junjie smiled with satisfaction.

What he wants is unity and consistency!
If you have already suffered a loss, you must learn a lesson.
