Number One Game Designer

This kind of unboxing video naturally does not need to be kept secret. After Shui Ran confirmed with Hongyi's people, he posted the video to Weibo.

Thanks to the excited Hongyi fans today, Shui Ran also enjoyed the feeling of being an internet celebrity.

Not many people know about the Weibo of her editor-in-chief. Occasionally posting a Weibo is a mutual py of acquaintances. Usually there are a dozen likes and seven or eight replies, and occasionally there are two likes Will forward it.

Today, he announced that Hongyi’s Weibo comments amounted to more than 6,000. Five minutes after the opening video was released, the comments reached 6,000, and it was even growing crazily.

The content shown in the video is not much, but it is really not a title party, but a preview of a solid new game.

Bored players can only guess what the game is like to the best of their knowledge.

"Ms. Fang actually went back to do RPG, which really disappointed me."

"Yeah, what is said to draw a clear line from the traditional game producer?"

"Don't be funny, okay? When did Teacher Fang say this kind of speech in Secondary Two? How could a producer like Teacher Fang have such a decadent view of the portal."

This probably exposes another shortcoming of the current Internet age. More and more minors are pouring into it. There are too many people who blindly output their ideas and too few people who can discuss peacefully. Among them, the understanding of Fang Xi is deviated between young people and adults. Young people will preset an image of Fang Xi in their minds. Once they conflict with reality, they will be very confused. For example, the new game will be revealed this time. It is an RPG type thing. In their minds, a new generation of game producers like Fang Xi has been innovating since his debut, so many people regard him as a game changer. How can such a game changer Does bump represent the old-fashioned and decadent rpg type?

Adults are a bit more sensible, and they appreciate the boss Fang’s attitude as a decision maker. He is not false and very pragmatic.

Disagreements on this point are destined to only belong to the internal disputes of Hongyi fans. After all, it is well known that all those who try to persuade others online will eventually become other people's fathers.

But these clamors were destined to not interfere with Shui Ran, and she was already immersed in the world of Octopath Traveler at this time.

In RPG games, making the story three-dimensional is a problem that all producers are worried about.

A success story must be able to resonate with viewers. In this process, it is necessary to continuously dig into the depth of the story, find the pain points of the story, combine the reflection of human society, and finally deepen its depth, so that it can be regarded as a success story.

But storytelling is another matter. When many people go to school, the first thing in Chinese class education is that writing can’t write a running account, because narrating running accounts may be the most artistic method that can destroy the sense of art. Change to game stories. The narrative above is the same.

Good narrative techniques can increase the depth of the game. At this time, it is time to bring out the soul series game. The producer splits the history of the story in the game into the narrative of each equipment, and then the npcs encountered by the players in the course are again Basically they are repeaters, only repeating some inexplicable words. In this case, players who don’t care about the story of the game are very happy, just kill them all the way through the levels, but for players who want to collect all the fragments of history , This process has become particularly meaningful because of the suffering.

Take out a box: Hey, it records a history of the undead. I remember that I bypassed a dragon when I took it.

Get an axe: it belongs to a great warrior, but in the end it is no match for my righteous backstab.

Get a shi block... I'm sorry, I got it wrong, I will beat the giant again!

In short, how to tell a story is the biggest difference between a novice designer and a senior designer.

In Shui Ran’s eyes, the game world is ordinary but fantastically magnificent. For her, this pixel style is not unfamiliar to her — her elder Shui Yuan was a former game producer, and it was also from this pixel era. After coming over, she has not had a lot of contact with these, but it is precisely because of familiarity that she can understand the charm of this game.

What are the characteristics of Pixel Wind? The biggest feature of Pixel Wind is, of course, poverty... But now Fang Xi, or Shao Qiulin, has led the studio to make a modern pixel style game based on Fang Xi’s script, just like a modern steam engine made with high-precision technology. , The old things are given a new core, which surprises her the most.

More comfortable than this should be the right music. Shui Ran has always known that Hongyi's music production department is very strong, and it is said that he also got a lot of songs from their invincible boss-this must be a rumor, if a producer like Fang Xi It would be too enchanting to be able to compose. She would rather think that it was his musicians who got inspiration from him.

Therefore, the music is just right and I didn't feel surprised, on the contrary, there was a feeling of "it should be so".

The last surprise is undoubtedly the unique narrative system of this game.

There are eight protagonists in this game, or a game has eight protagonists.

Time is limited, and I can’t experience many protagonists. I only played two of them, but because of this, she became more and more curious about the game: one of the two roles she played was a good-looking dancer. The other is an awe-inspiring priest.

Each character has only a simple introduction at the beginning, let you know the next purpose, let you know the simple birthplace of these characters, but in the middle, she finds that her dancers have a lot of self-talking will mention several characters. She will mention a legend in her previous city, mention a religious change she heard about here, and mention a teenager in her hometown who is still waiting for her to return.

The pace of the game is very slow, but the story of all this is not very complicated, and the rhythm is really slow.

When Shui Ran raised her head again and saw that the window was already dark, she was stunned for a moment. Then she realized that after she started playing in the afternoon, she hadn't stopped at all, until late at night, looking at the table below, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

The mental excitement hadn't subsided, and then Shui Ran felt dry and dry, and there was a feeling of emptiness in her stomach. She hadn't dripped in for more than seven hours.

Although physically exhausted, Shui Ran's spirit is unprecedentedly excited. The game is no longer playing. She directly took the notebook with her most common codewords. Tonight, she plans to spend the night, but now she is full. It's all about the desire to talk, so when is it better not to write at this time?

""The Octopath Traveler", "GAME World" scored 9.810, this world..."
