Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Although so far, Chen Xu has indeed made many games.

And it can be said that they are all excellent products.

But there are really not many games on the booth.

《Games such as"Undertale","Vitality Knight","Three Kingdoms" and"Land of the Land" can be said to be old games under Fengyun Games.

Even"Warcraft" and"Minecraft" are not that new to players.

There's no doubting the quality of both games though.

But there is nothing shocking and new.

If it were a normal game show, it would be quite easy.

Asking a bunch of showgirls to show off their long legs, and then doing a few cosplay shows can arouse the enthusiasm of players.

However, this exhibition obviously cannot be like this.

At most, it’s just a matter of hiring a few cosplayers to act as models to liven up the atmosphere at the scene.

More importantly, it depends on the content of the game itself.

《"League of Legends", Chen Xu has already planned it.

Five different heroes will still be brought to the exhibition, and these five heroes are all very happy in"League of Legends".

Exile's Blade in the top lane position, Wind Swordsman in the mid lane position, Barrel in the jungle position, Draven in the marksman position, and Thresh Warden in the auxiliary position.

As for these five heroes, they are basically all very demanding heroes.

But this kind of hero who relies on operations is much happier to play than ordinary heroes.

Especially the hero Yasuo, the Storm Swordsman, can be said to be an iconic representative hero like the blind monk and Zed in the previous life of"League of Legends".

If we have to talk about happiness, this hero is definitely indispensable.

It is also a BAN spot that ranks at the gold level all year round.

However, although 5 new heroes were launched, as an exhibition, it was actually a bit monotonous.

Moreover, it is naturally impossible for players to get started with new heroes immediately, so we still need to get some new things for players.

Chen Xu has been busy with"League of Legends" before, and now the exhibition is only two weeks away.

It is definitely unrealistic to play a large-scale game.

So Chen Xu thought about it and targeted some games that were relatively simple for him at the moment.

In addition, the matter of new heroes in"League of Legends" is handled by Jiang Bin. It just so happens that Qin Yi and the others don't have much to do now.

Just in time to get involved.

Just do what you say. Chen Xu asked Han Yue to help supervise the matters at the booth.

I came to the office, bought a bottle of memory potion, and started writing the design document.

It’s different from a complex game like League of Legends.

This time Chen Xu plans to make two casual games.

They are not very complicated. They are all level-driven games. Of course, one of them involves some numerical content.

………………

The next day, Qin Yi, Chen Qingzhu and Zhao Shan came to the conference room.

Jiang Bin does not need to participate in the casual game. His main focus is still on the"League of Legends" side, so he did not participate.

"Mr. Chen, what type of casual game are we going to develop? Is it like"Three Kingdoms"?"

"But Mr. Chen, the exhibition is only two weeks away, can we make it in time?"

Qin Yi and Chen Qingzhu all expressed their doubts.

Chen Xu said yesterday that in order to participate in the exhibition, he would simply make two new games, which really shocked them.

After all, in two weeks, he can Is it too late?

"I had enough time, they were all relatively simple casual games, and I had already done the original art. The art outsourcing company worked at a low price, and it was enough to produce it before it went online at the exhibition. Moreover, it was only for exhibition display, not an official version."Chen Xu also smiled after listening to the words of the three people.

If he were alone, even if he had a game development tool like a game editor, it would be too late.

But with the current energy of Fengyun Games, it would be too late. In addition, he also has BUFF props such as memory potion and team understanding scroll.

Two weeks is enough.

Moreover, Chen Xu is not prepared to make a complete version directly on the day of the exhibition.

In the conference room, the projector is Connecting to the computer, Chen Xu displayed the design draft he had written overnight yesterday.

The first thing that caught his eye were the classic plant images.

Pea shooters, round nuts, sunflowers, pumpkins... and all kinds of weird and strange things. Zombies, zombies that look very ordinary, zombies wearing iron tubes, zombies with poles in their hands...

In addition, there is a series of data below. At the same time, one of the rules of the game has also been written very clearly.

Plants in the game Some basic attributes of zombies include attack power, health, ballistic speed, attack interval, cooling time, durability... They are basically all marked. At the same time, at the top of the manuscript, the name of the game"Plants vs. Zombies" is displayed.".

In the previous life,"Plants vs. Zombies" can be said to be a very classic tower defense game.

Its development took three years by the team's four developers (art, planning and design, music, and programming).

Of course, this does not mean that this project took three years to develop from scratch, but that it took three years to make corrections after it was developed. From the modification of numerical values ​​to the actual launch. For

Chen Xu, there is the existence of memory potion, numerical art and music. Together, there is basically no problem.

Coupled with the existence of the game editor and game outsourcing, it will take two weeks, not to mention reproducing all the gameplay.

But just making an adventure mode, basically there is no What a problem

"Awesome, my Mr. Chen!"

"The entire game framework has basically been completed!"

Everyone was a little shocked when they looked at the game document in front of them.

It is simply too complete.

Although there are some details that Chen Xu did not write, it basically does not affect the development of the game.

The only problem is that This is a relatively novel tower defense game in which plants fight zombies. Will players like it?

In front of everyone, Chen Xu just smiled and said nothing, and then sent the document to everyone

"I have completed the core of the entire game, including the numerical values ​​and the level design in the adventure mode. You can just be responsible for this part."Chen Xu looked at several people and said

"By the way, doesn’t Mr. Chen have another game?"Listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone nodded. Then Qin Yi thought of something and was a little curious.

"Well, this game is quite special. It will be used as an easter egg and will not be shown directly at the exhibition. Chen Xu thought of something and showed a wicked smile:"After all, we have brought players such happy heroes as Riven and Yasuo, so we have to make them feel a little malicious!""

Happiness and malice!?

After hearing Chen Xu's words, everyone was a little confused.

However, they did not continue to ask.

Anyway, they will know by then.
