America started as a game

19. Stunning game design

Ever since Edith received Li Hua's project, the two of them had to communicate on the phone every day.

They would meet each other from time to time, which made John look at Li Hua a little differently.

"Are you attracted to my sister? Let me tell you, if you are really attracted to her, I can help you." John put his arm around Li Hua's shoulders and said.

Li Hua said helplessly: "Do you think of me as a brother? Are you betraying your sister?"

"Is there anything wrong with this?" John asked in surprise.

Li Hua knew that this was a cultural difference, so he could only say: "I'm just exchanging work with your sister, it's not what you think."

John smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. The more you communicate, the more affection you will have. However, I still advise you to do a good job in safety. I don't want to become an uncle so early."

Li Hua was too lazy to say more to him, "I'm going out to do something."

Sean, who was lying dead, suddenly stood up and said, "Are you going home?"

John also looked at Li Hua expectantly. They had eaten all the things Li Hua brought last time.

"No, I'm going out to do errands, not going home." Li Hua was speechless, these two foodies.

This time Li Hua went for an interview, or it didn't count as an interview.

The person Horace was looking for was found, and just as he thought, they were not willing to join a shell company like his.

Now the treatment at Atari has become very poor. Even so, this person is still unwilling to leave.

It is conceivable that people do not want to come to Li Hua's small company.

So we just talk about it on an individual basis.

The person Horace found this time was named Sandy Billy, who was considered an old employee at Atari.

I have led some projects over the years, and although there have been no hits, there have been no major mistakes, and they are generally quite satisfactory.

And this is exactly what Li Hua wants.

He doesn't want people who have too many ideas of their own, nor does he want people who are unique.

It's not that these people are bad, it's just that these people are not what Li Hua needs now.

He needs someone who can completely follow his own ideas and not have too many personal ideas.

Li Hua soon met Sandy Billy, a middle-aged man with curly hair that was quite lush.

Sandy was a little stunned when she saw Li Hua. She probably didn't expect that her boss was actually a Chinese, and he was also such a young Chinese.

After introducing each other, Li Hua also went straight to the topic. Since Sandy did not join their ideas, there was no need to talk about anything else.

"I believe Horace has told you about my request. Is there anything you want to ask?" Li Hua asked.

Sandy naturally had many questions to ask, but Horace just told him some general information.

Apart from the treatment given to him, basically nothing was said about the situation of the game.

It's not that Horace didn't want to say it, but he didn't know. Li Hua didn't say anything about this matter.

Sandy first confirmed his treatment issue with Li Hua. This was the most important thing, and the rest was all side effects to him.

After confirming these, start asking about the game.

Before that, Li Hua asked him to sign a confidentiality agreement. Li Hua valued the game "Super Mario Bros." very seriously.

Just counting on it to make money during the gaming winter period.

Horace was a little surprised when he saw this, but at the same time he felt a little more confident.

You must know that Li Hua said it directly in "Custer's Revenge" before, but now he has to sign a confidentiality contract, which is obviously different.

Sandy didn't hesitate at all. After reading the confidentiality contract, he signed his name.

Immediately, Li Hua began to answer his questions in detail, and at the same time handed him the game plan.

"This is a game plan I wrote. Regarding the specific gameplay of the game, the content is all above. You can read it first. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Li Hua said.

Li Hua had prepared these things a long time ago and wrote them in quite detail.

Sandy didn't care at first. In the current market environment, dozens or hundreds of games appear every day.

But as he watched, Sandy's eyes changed a little.

This game called "Super Mario Bros." has some differences from all the games he has produced before. Just looking at the planning, you can feel a smooth feeling.

This is a feeling only game designers can have!

The characters of this game, the purpose of the game, and each level are quite clear.

There are also some hidden props and various prop effects...

Although Sandy's abilities are not outstanding, he has been engaged in the game industry for many years and has been a person in charge for some years.

Naturally, he has his own understanding of the game.

Although it has been a bit messed up over the years, after all, even the company does not pay attention to game content, but no matter what, the level it should be is still there.

So slowly, he became addicted to it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this game was amazing!

The game planned by Li Hua is not a complete version. After all, it needs to be fully improved for later and cannot be released all at once.

But even so, it is quite complete, much more complete than Nintendo's first version.

Whether it's playability or operability and all aspects, it is much better.

So Li Hua is not surprised at all when Sandy performs like this.

In fact, Horace has been observing Sandy's performance. He actually doesn't know what the game designed by Li Hua is like.

Now it seems that it is really unusual!

This made Horace feel a little more relaxed. After all, no one wants their investment to fail.

He is optimistic about Li Hua's future, so he is willing to do many things.

More than two hours passed like this before Sandy finally raised his head from the game planning book with difficulty.

At this time, he was completely amazed by this game. There is a reason why the game "Super Mario Bros." is called the original model of video games.

"Did you really design this?" Sandy's voice was a little harsh.

Li Hua just nodded and then asked: "Can you play this game?"

Sandy took a deep breath and said: "Your design is very complete, and every link is...perfect. Yes, I can only use perfect to describe it. Apart from perfect, I really can't think of any other adjective."

Sandy praised it first, and then said: "With this game plan, as long as you are not a fool, you can basically complete it."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but said: "Have you ever thought about selling this game? Believe me, Atari is more suitable for this game and will give you a very high price."
