Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Back in the dormitory, the three roommates were chatting there.

The conversation was all about things after graduating from college. After all, they were already seniors.

It’s almost time to think about what’s next.

As soon as Chen Xu returned to the dormitory, he opened his laptop.

Because they are used for game development and use official game editors, their computers have relatively high configurations and are relatively thick.

It is very different from ordinary lightweight business notebooks.

I have already decided in my heart the game I will develop next.

But before that, he still had to get familiar with the editor of this world. After all, memory potions have a time limit.

"Brother Xu, you haven’t given up yet?"In the dormitory, Ma Neng, who was sleeping on the bed and chatting with two other people, looked at Chen Xu who was sitting in his seat and opened the game editor and said casually. After hearing what the other party said, Chen Xu was sitting on his seat looking at the editor. He frowned.

After four years in college, Chen Xu also knew what kind of character the other party was.

There was no malicious intention, otherwise he couldn't be in the same dormitory for four years, but the meaning behind his words sounded a bit uncomfortable.

"I said Brother Xu, we will definitely not get the ranking in the monthly game design competition."

"I feel that it is good to study in an advanced company. I asked Lin He from the second class before and he said that Galaxy Games will recruit a group of interns in the future. Ma Neng, who was sleeping on the bed, said

"Really?"But the other two roommates were a little surprised at this time.

"How can it be fake? Brother Xu, let’s go together then."Ma Neng chuckled and looked at Chen Xu in his seat.

"No."Chen Xu ignored him and replied casually.

Then under everyone's surprised eyes, he picked up the laptop on the table and turned around to leave the dormitory.

After taking the computer to the library, Chen Xu found a corner and took it with him. Headphones.

He breathed a sigh of relief at the quiet atmosphere.

Blowing on the air conditioner in the library, Chen Xu tapped the keyboard gently and moved his fingers slowly on the sensor board.

There were memories in his mind, plus he was an editor. The tool is not that complicated, even simpler than some of the tools used by Chen Xu before time travel.

It just requires memorizing more instructions.

If you want to win a prize in the monthly game design competition, it has some gimmicks and inducements A game based on

, then obviously we need to broaden our thinking.

It is still not convenient to make games in the dormitory.

I got familiar with the game editors in this world.

Chen Xu went to the cafeteria for a meal at noon and thought to himself. With the decision made, Chen Xu went straight to the hotel behind the school without much hesitation. In his senior year, there were basically no classes, and it was all time to find a job and find a way out.

During this period, some students chose to participate in monthly game design For games, some are like most people, finding a game company to join.

But for Chen Xu, these are not important.

The most important thing is to make his first game first.

After arriving at the hotel and paying the deposit , Chen Xu put the registered ID card back into his wallet.

Then he came to the second floor alone with his laptop and room card.

Regarding the next goal, Chen Xu had a very clear point.

That is to obtain a part of Recognized by players, he successfully obtained the title of game designer.

Profitability is not something Chen Xu has considered for the time being.

After obtaining the title of game designer first, he can then unlock more editor permissions and perform other tasks. The development of some games.

And game designers who have definitely obtained titles through this kind of market have a hidden benefit.

That is, they can borrow interest-free from banks without any collateral. Of course, the amount will not be very large.

The main thing is Banks are also confident that they can obtain the title of game designer through this method. Large game manufacturers may have some problems.

But for smaller game manufacturers, it is still no problem to find a random one to join, so the bank is not afraid that you will not pay back the money..

Fame. From a certain point of view, with fame, you can be considered rich.

Therefore, Chen Xu did not plan to work hard on making profits for his first game.

Because as long as he successfully obtained the title of game designer, he basically did not

The only question left is what kind of game to choose. First of all, it must be a less complicated game, because there is not much time left for him.

Secondly, it must be a low-cost independent game, because At present, in addition to the public resources in the game editor, he only has tens of thousands of yuan in savings.

However, when it comes to choosing a game, Chen Xu already has the first game in mind. Chen Xu’s choice is a Classic METAGAME——《Undertale".

This is a game that generates enough buzz.

Choose"Undertale" instead.

Mainly due to three considerations.

First, this is an RPG game, but the gameplay is mainly controlled by barrage avoidance, which is simple and easy to understand.

The second point is that this is a game that perfectly combines plot and meta-game elements, and paired with the effects of the second-week cards, it can be said that they complement each other.

The third point, and the most important point, is that he has no money.

《The content of"Undertale" is undoubtedly relatively simple, because its core points lie in the reversal of plot and meta-game elements.

At the same time, in terms of music, the soundtrack in"Under the Legend" is also a bonus. For example, the arrogant man during the battle between Shansi at the end is a classic.

As for games such as"Minecraft" and"Don't Starve", Chen Xu is not considering them yet.

Because these games require a long period of fermentation, they are not the kind of games that will become popular immediately upon release.

Instead, it needs to go through a period of precipitation, and there are also MODs produced by third parties to improve the ecological environment of the entire game.

Mainly because these two types of games require players to play them for a period of time and understand some of their mechanisms, so that these two games can exude their own unique charm.

But what Chen Xu lacks now is time, and he also doesn't have a user base that meets the requirements, so it's not that they are not outstanding.

But compared to this type of game,"Under Legend" is more suitable for the current situation.
