Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 40 So Fast!

Early the next morning.

As soon as Liu Wei came downstairs, he saw the store door open and the fresh air blowing in his face.

Chen Yaohui was holding a rag and diligently wiping the non-existent stains on the front desk.

The moment he saw Liu Wei, Chen Yaohui showed a bright smile: "Hello, boss!"

Liu Wei nodded.

Look, this is the charm of money. Only 8000 can make an originally undisciplined student surrender to him.

I don’t know how much money I have to spend to get Senior Sister Ling to bow down to me.

Soon, Ling Jingwen also walked downstairs.

Liu Wei glanced at Chen Yaohui and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Chen Yaohui shook his head: "If I can't get up, I usually eat during the second period."

Liu Wei directly threw Zhang Hongchao over: "Buy some breakfast and bring it back, and then go directly to the second floor. Next is the arrangement of the new game."

"New game? So fast!" Chen Yaohui held the banknotes with shock on his face.

You must know that "Magic Tower" has only been online for less than a week, and the boss has to develop a new game. This is too fast.

Even those A-level designers cannot develop multiple games in such a short period of time.

Liu Wei said expressionlessly: "Do you know a genius? I am one."

Chen Yaohui instinctively didn't want to believe it, but looking at Liu Wei's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying.

Are there really geniuses in this world?
……

Conference room on the second floor.

Liu Wei took the last bite of the crispy dough sticks and moistened them with sweet soy milk.

After realizing that everyone had already eaten.

Liu Wei wiped his mouth and went straight in: "The type of the new game is a real-time strategy game."

"Wait..." Chen Yaohui raised his hand directly and asked, "Store manager, logically speaking, I shouldn't have any objection to your actions."

"But aren't real-time strategy games a bit too risky?"

Liu Wei glanced at Chen Yaohui appreciatively, and then at Senior Sister Ling who looked bored next to him.

This is the difference between a design assistant and an ordinary assistant.

Senior Sister Ling will do her best to complete the tasks assigned by Liu Wei and will not think too much about why she is doing this.

But design assistants are different. They are the right-hand man of the game designer and are responsible for helping the designer find and fill in the gaps.

like now.

Real-time strategy games are not very popular in the country.

On the one hand, this is because the interactivity of this kind of game is too weak, and Chinese people value social relationships most, so it is easy to get quit when playing games alone.

On the other hand, it is because the balance of real-time strategy games is difficult to control and it is difficult to get started.

Liu Wei did not answer Chen Yaohui's question directly, but pushed a copy in front of him.

Chen Yaohui picked it up with doubts on his face and looked at the title of the copy.

"Red Alert"

What does this name mean?
It sounds a bit like a gun game.

Chen Yaohui opened the copy and checked it.

"Okay, a lot..."

The content of more than ten pages is extensive but not complicated, and every point is described in extremely detail.

Even Chen Yaohui, a college student with no industry experience, can easily understand it.

"Amazing!"

Chen Yaohui sighed sincerely while flipping through the pages.

After reading it, Chen Yaohui looked at Liu Wei with admiring eyes.

I don’t know how long it took the boss to write such a detailed copy. I’m afraid he had a plan since he first entered college.

Liu Wei yawned on the side.

The game content of Red Alert is a bit complicated, so he stayed up all night to write it.

You should know that Liu Wei only spent two hours writing "The Magic Tower".

Watching Chen Yaohui put down the copy, Liu Wei asked, "Are there any other questions?" Chen Yaohui shook his head.

What a joke, with such a detailed copy in front of him, if he still has questions, he doesn't even bother to say that he is a student of HKUST.

Liu Wei emphasized: "This time the time is tight and it must be completed within a month."

Ling Jingwen said nothing.

Under Liu Wei's arrangement, she only needs to be responsible for the icons in the game, and the rest will be purchased directly from the platform.

Chen Yaohui nodded, but couldn't help but asked curiously: "Boss, why does it take a month? Is there something wrong?"

Judging from the planning copy, the workload is obviously quite large.

Shortening the production time will most likely lead to a decrease in the quality of the game.

"Well, there is one thing that is very important!" Liu Wei replied matter-of-factly.

Chen Yaohui asked: "Boss, can I help?"

Liu Wei thought for a while and shook his head: "Probably not. The Chunshi media are all pretending to be dead now. It is probably impossible for them to deliberately provoke me. I can only go to them to cause trouble."

Chen Yaohui was stunned when he heard Liu Wei's words.

Is this the important thing about co-authorship?
How much do you hate Chunsil Media!
"A stingy and serious man." Ling Jingwen's cold and venomous tongue scared Chen Yaohui to the point where he lowered his head and studied the patterns on the table carefully.

It's not me, I'm deaf, I didn't hear anything just now.

What a joke.

Chunshi Media is almost beaten to death by its boss just for spreading rumors on the Internet. If this happens in real life.

Wouldn't he be blackmailed to death by his boss?
But to Chen Yaohui's expectation, Liu Wei didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear anything, he walked out of the conference room.

Chen Yaohui glanced at Ling Jingwen, then at Liu Wei's background.

There is a problem, there is a problem on the cliff.

……

a month later.

The popularity of "Magic Tower" in the experience store is neither increasing nor decreasing, but the evaluation of "Magic Tower" on the Internet is getting higher and higher.

Especially after Liu Wei opened up developer rights, the reputation of "Magic Tower" increased by 0.5 points that day.

Return to the ranks of excellent games in 8.6.

This is because in this world, the technical difficulty of making games has declined, and the creativity of a good game has become particularly important.

Generally, designers will keep a good enough game as confidential as possible and not allow players to modify the content privately.

But Liu Wei directly opened the authority without hesitation.

Allowing a large number of players to make mods as they wish, the playability of the entire "Magic Tower" has been increased several times.

Just open an interface about "Magic Tower".

Except for the top original version, the remaining game versions are also varied.

What is the 'Struggle, Animal Husbandry and Magic Tower'? In this mod, players can change their profession into three different professions to complete the level.

'I am the strongest and become the devil'. This mod is more interesting. Players no longer play the role of the brave.

Instead, he plays the role of the devil and induces the brave to make wrong choices.

Various mods give "Magic Tower" a new lease of life.

There are also an increasing number of clearance strategies for "Magic Tower" on the Internet.

"Help, why can't I use the 'waste breaks off the engagement' mod?"

"Your protagonist must be named Xiao."

"Is there any new mod? The previous mod is boring."

"'Monster Motherf**k', the original painting and vertical painting have been revised, and after defeating the monster, there will be a clothes tearing animation. If you understand, I will send you the link via private message."

"elder brother!"

"elder brother!"

"plus one."

Just when people were discussing it online, a piece of information directly shocked everyone.

Liu Wei posted a new message:
"The new game "Red Alert" has been put on the game store and can be downloaded in three days. The price is 88 yuan. You can now try it for free in the experience store."
