Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

《The development process of"Plants vs. Zombies" was quite smooth. After all, it is just a small casual game.

And the most critical point is that Chen Xu has already built the entire game framework.

Of course, the friend mode and endless mode are not ready yet.

In the past few days, several girls within the company are also obsessed with fighting zombies.

Studying how to arrange the plant formations all day long

"Although this"Plants vs. Zombies" is quite interesting, it is not that fascinating!"

Handing a plan for the follow-up update of"League of Legends" to Chen Xu, Qin Yi touched his head and was a little confused.

Jiang Bin next to him also agreed.

After the game was developed, the two of them also played it for a while. , it's fun, but they still prefer"League of Legends".

But Chen Qingzhu, Zhao Shan, Han Yue, and some other girls in the company are all addicted to this casual game and can't help themselves.

Hearing Jiang Bin and Qin Yi's words, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile:"This is because you don't understand girls' hearts. Girls may not like the games you like, and"Plants vs. Zombies" is both an art style and a tower defense game. This kind of gameplay is actually suitable for all ages."

"You two still have to study hard and look good, otherwise you won't be able to find a girlfriend in the future."Chen Xu looked at the two people and said with a smile.

Qin Yi touched his head and looked at Chen Xu with a smile on his face and said:"Um, Mr. Chen, you don't seem to have a girlfriend, right? Jiang

Bin next to him raised his head and pretended to look at the light bulb.

The smile on Chen Xu's face became so kind:"By the way, weren't you always curious about what another casual game is?" I have developed it, do you want to try it out?"

"Really! Mr. Chen, another game has been developed! ?"Qin Yi was very happy and curious.

When Chen Xu had a meeting before, he told them that he would make two casual games before the exhibition.

One of them is the"""Plants vs. Zombies".

As for the other game, it has always been a mystery.

Because Chen Xu did not reveal the slightest information to the outside world.

For the other game, everyone in the company also speculated on many types.

But one thing is that Everyone is very curious about this game that they have not yet met.

Qin Yi is naturally one of them.

Although he is not as fascinated by the game"Plants vs. Zombies" as Chen Qingzhu and Zhao Shan.

But Qin Yi I have to say that the game"Plants vs. Zombies" is really fun.

As a tower defense game, it can be said to be quite toxic.

So in conjunction with Chen Xu's other game, he In fact, I was looking forward to it.

Jiang Bin next to him had a very bad premonition.

But at the same time, like Qin Yi, he was actually quite curious about another game secretly developed by Chen Xu.

Let Qin Yi Sitting there, Chen Xu smiled and opened the computer, then entered a folder.

The diagram of the game has been completed.

But this diagram looks a little different.

Because the icon is a big hammer similar to the one used to smash the wall at a construction site.

"Overcoming difficulties with Bennett Foddy? Is this the name of a new game?"Looking at the prompt under the icon, Qin Yi seemed a little surprised.

The name of the game seems too long, right?

"Well, the name will be changed by then, and it is tentatively called Digging for Advancement."Chen Xu had a slight smile on his face.

Seeing Chen Xu smile, the bad feeling in Jiang Bin's heart became stronger and stronger.

Ten minutes later, a voice came from Chen Xu's office scream

"Come on, have a good experience and try to pass the level as soon as possible!"Chen Xu cheered Qin Yi with a smile on his face.

Jiang Bin, who had witnessed Qin Yi's game experience just now, had been silent at this time and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.

"Mr. Chen...this...is this the new game you developed?!"Swallowing, Qin Yi's hand holding the mouse trembled slightly.

As a game designer, although he has not played a more in-depth game, he has already felt the horror of this game.

This is absolutely It is a game full of deep malice!

"At that time, it will be launched as a free game for players, which will be a surprise for everyone."Chen Xu nodded and said with a smile.

This, this is such a surprise!

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Qin Yi and Jiang Bin next to him couldn't help but mourned in their hearts for the players who were about to play this game.

"By the way, remember to clear the level when the time comes!"Chen Xu looked at Qin Yi and waved with a smile.

The expression on Qin Yi's face suddenly froze.

Jiang Bin next to him shook his legs and said quickly:"Mr. Chen, I'm going to pay attention to the data of"League of Legends" Condition!"

After saying that, Jiang Bin quickly ran away after receiving the approval, leaving only Qin Yi who was looking at Chen Xu eagerly.

"Play this game carefully and think carefully about the spatial design of the map. In addition to the numerical values, the most important thing about a game is its level."Chen Xu's expression became serious.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this is Mr. Chen training himself!?

Let himself better understand the subtleties of game level design through practice. ?

"Okay, have fun, I'll go see Chen Qingzhu and the others first. Also, tomorrow, we'll go to the exhibition as a group, so we can relax a little."Chen Xu looked at Qin Yidao with a smile.

After talking to Qin Yi, Chen Xu left the office with a smile.

Cultivate map design concepts?

Chen Xu is really not wrong about this.

Although this is a It is a game that specializes in making people think, but it is also very knowledgeable when it comes to map design.

The developer of this game in his previous life, Bennett Foddy, was not only a game developer, but also an art professor. He is also a doctor of philosophy.

Similarly, the map design in the game is also quite exquisite.

Because when the player relaxes, he makes him fall into the abyss of despair and breaks the player's mentality. The main core point is in the map.

Why is it designed like this and what is its role?

These are the places that Chen Xu asked Qin Yi to learn.

And if you want to learn, you must experience the feeling firsthand to have a deeper understanding.

Listening to a scream coming from the office , a smile appeared on Chen Xu's lips.
