Shenhao makes a game

Chapter 18 Preparing for the Game Show

Many people may have only heard of the relevant positions in the game industry such as original artist, modeler, special effects artist, and numerical planner mentioned by Mu Chen, but they don't know the specific affairs they are responsible for in the game production process.

The original artist, as the name suggests, is responsible for the design of characters, monsters, equipment, terrain and other images in the game.The modeler is responsible for 3D modeling the original painting of the original artist and making it into a 3D model.Special effects artist, responsible for the realization of the effects of various skills, etc.These three professions belong to the art part of game production. Of course, the art part also includes riggers, action artists, etc., so I won’t go into details here.

The numerical planning mentioned by Mu Chen before is the most important point in the game planning part, and it can even be said to be the most important position in the entire game company. Planners are promoted to this position, and even if they are promoted to master planners, they will basically continue to work part-time as numerical planners.

The main task of numerical planning is to design various data throughout the game.Take the well-known MOBA game League of Legends as an example, the equipment price, equipment attributes (how much blood is level A, how much blood is critical, whether there are special attributes?), the growth value of characters (how much blood is the hero at the first level, how much mana Appropriate, how much experience is needed to level up?), the level growth of minions and wild monsters, and how much money and experience they can provide~ etc. These are all things that need to be done in the numerical planning of a game.

Maybe just saying these things can't directly reflect the disadvantages of this position, let me give you a chestnut.

At the beginning, the main creative team of Warcraft left for various reasons, and then these few people who left made League of Legends, and these few people were the numerical planning of Warcraft at the beginning. . . . . .

That's why Mu Chen asked Liu Jin to recruit some powerful numerical planners, and his purpose is self-evident, just to move the League of Legends out!

Originally, he didn't want to be in such a hurry. He wanted to make some stand-alone PC games with good reputation and quality after CS, but who made him ambitious to break the rules of the original game circle in this world? He couldn't help but be in a hurry, those stand-alone games can only be released after the overall situation is settled.

Just when Mu Chen was still thinking about the League of Legends, Liu Jin who was at the side saw that Mu Chen was still thinking about something, so he didn't rush to leave, but asked, "Young Master Mu, is there anything else you want to order? "

Uh. . . . .Hearing Liu Jin's question, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have thought about something a few days ago, so he asked casually: "Old Liu, are many people in our game circle playing Kun?"

"Of course not, it's just that some game companies do it to make money, and all the distribution platforms are monopolized by those big companies, and they can't agree on the division, and they don't care about the content, and they even plagiarize, so at the current game exhibition There are so many brain-dead games, and those good games are only circulated in a small circle of elite players, and they have never appeared on the market." As an old man in the game circle, Liu Jinyi said angrily.

"What is an elite player?" Mu Chen was a little surprised by this term.

Liu Jin explained: "It's just some players who really want to play good games, and most of them are players who love to play games and are very picky about games. Although these elite players release games on a small scale, they can't earn much. money, but there are still many game companies and independent studios that are really committed to making good games and releasing games on a small scale in this circle, and some game companies are making brain-dead games to make money on those platforms, and at the same time Good games are released in elite circles."

Hearing this kind of coquettish operation, Mu Chen was startled, and continued to ask curiously: "Then why did you go to that game exhibition before?"

Liu Jin smiled awkwardly, and said: "I'm short of money, Lao Hu and I have to support our family. Although we don't have a wife and children, the family situation is still not optimistic, so we can only think about whether we can sell the game at the game show." A good price~”

"Uh, talking about this, I almost forgot the previous business, then you say, if we go to hold a real game exhibition, plus our Suguang game platform, can those who are in the circle of elite players Did the game attract you?" Mu Chen looked at Liu Jin a little excitedly and asked.

When Liu Jin heard Mu Chen's question, he didn't answer right away. After thinking for a while, he asked Mu Chen, "Then how do you plan to share the share with them, Young Master Mu, and how do you protect the game content? If these two issues are agreed Yes, in fact, there are still many game companies or studios coming to our platform. Especially those independent studios, no matter how much they love, there will be times when they can’t solve the problem, just like me and Lao Hu. And over the years, more and more Many people choose to give up making games, because those platforms squeeze too much, and there is no hope of getting ahead at all.”

When Mu Chen heard what Liu Jin said, he felt confident, and said directly: "It's a small problem, and we'll collect one or two achievements for a symbolic amount. As for the content of the game, the game producer has complete control over it." We, Suguang Entertainment, will not interfere with autonomy. How about it? Under such conditions, those companies and studios should be moved, right?"

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he didn't hear Liu Jin speak for a long time. Seeing the flushed Liu Jin staring at him, he couldn't help asking: "Old Liu, why don't you speak? Your face is still so red? "

"Master Mu, I'm so excited, the game environment in China needs to be changed too much! If you came to our game industry earlier, we gamers wouldn't be like this!" Liu Jin said very excitedly.

Then he went on to say: "If Suguang Entertainment really implements such a distribution condition, we can completely destroy the game platforms of those profiteers at any time!"

Seeing that Liu Jin said so firmly, Muchen nodded, and said, "Then let's do it like this, you go to our Shuguang Entertainment's official website to post an announcement, and then spread a word among their small circles, telling them to just bring the Here comes the good game."

Liu Jin: "Okay, Mr. Mu, I will definitely bring them all here! By the way, what's the name of our game exhibition?"

Muchen: "Of course it's the 'First Dawn Entertainment and Game Exhibition'."

Liu Jin: "Uh...Master Mu, can we get rid of the first class?"

"Why? It's the first session. Is there a problem?"

"Uh, because those platforms change their names every time and use 'the first session' to fool those who are new to the game industry. After a long time, everyone knows that it is not good to bring the first game show. Birds." Liu Jin explained.

. . . . .Muchen didn't expect to have these twists and turns, so he said helplessly, "Then let's call it the Shuguang Game Exhibition!"

"Okay, how long is the time, and where is the venue?
"Just half a month later, so many people should have time to come over. The place, isn't there a convention and exhibition center in the capital? Let's go there!"
