Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

A week later.

A full week has passed since the development of Soul Knight.

An official website belonging to Fengyun Games has been set up, and an internal database has also been established.

The platform including the pass account has also been reported to the Game Committee.

In addition to being responsible for the art aspect, Zhao Shan also took on some other tasks in the process.

For example, statistics.

Including Han Yue, Jincheng, and Wang Yong, three of them also took on a special job in addition to their own jobs.

That was a test of the game.

In addition, Chen Xu also invited many students from schools to come to their studio to test the game.

Chen Xu also discussed this with the school.

There are also considerations for everyone.

Chen Xu naturally needs a group of people to test and give feedback on the game.

Generally speaking, there are basically two channels for game designers to conduct feedback testing.

One of them is an offline experience store.

The other is an online public collection of test information.

The advantage of the former is that it can receive feedback as quickly as possible, and when communicating face-to-face with players, it can also understand the game's flaws more clearly.

Because the game has some flaws, players are not really sure about it.

For example, players feel that a certain level is not fun.

This lack of fun may be reflected in many places.

It may be a problem with the map design, or a problem with the numerical design, or the negative impact brought by the scene art.

Basically, well-known game designers in the industry have a similar feedback channel of their own, which can receive feedback from players most directly.

But for Chen Xu now, he doesn't have enough money to set up an offline experience store.

Moreover, a formal experience store needs to be reported to the game committee and achieve certain business results.

Not everyone can open a formal experience store.

So Chen Xu chose a compromise, which was to discuss it with the school.

Let's see if we can get some students from the school for free.

The school also very much welcomed Chen Xu's request.

After all, compared to ordinary students, Chen Xu has achieved certain results.

The previous"Under the Legend" can be said to have made Chen Xu famous.

And during this period,"Undertale" also won a best independent game award that month.

But because"Soul Knight" was being developed, Chen Xu had no choice.

Although this is his first award in this world, it is only a monthly game award after all.

That is to say, there is some audience in the circle, and as far as the player group is concerned, it is just average.

The ones that attract the most attention from players are game awards that are well-known and have a long history, such as TGA.

Going to participate is just to gain a sense of presence in the industry, which will not be of any help to Chen Xu now.

So instead of wasting time to participate in this award, it is better to speed up the development of"Soul Knight" as soon as possible.

As a Roguelike game,"Soul Knight" itself has random features that can be perfectly achieved through the game editor.

So far, except for the game-related sound effects soundtrack and some art resources that have not been included, basically the entire framework and mode gameplay have been basically completed.

After all,"Soul Knight" is not a big production.

According to a test feedback from everyone in the experience area, Chen Xu’s confidence is even stronger.

"Wow! What is the explosion rate of Mr. Chen’s wishing fountain? ? I threw away almost fifteen yuan, but there was nothing left except the words"the water in the pool has become bleak"!"

"The sky is Lingling, the earth is Lingling, this time the box must be red!"

"wipe! Why did we encounter this BOSS!"

"Invincible, invincible! The talents of immunity to fire, immunity to traps, and immunity to poison are all now available!"

"Haha, there are mounts in this game. Look at me, a wild boar. I’m pretty or not!"

"Damn it, Lao Wang, why don’t you start faster? It was you who opened the last box, and it turned out to be nothing! This time you opened a white one again!"

"Logically speaking, there should be only white items in this box!"

"Nonsense, someone has released orange equipment before, don't deny the fact that you are a non-chief!"

On the second floor, Chen Xu deliberately set aside a certain space in the lounge, where a group of people chatted enthusiastically about the game content of"Vitality Knight".

During the period, they also asked Chen Xu a lot of questions, but more Let's just focus on the content in the game.

For example, which firearms and weapons are the most powerful, which professions are more powerful, and what is the explosion rate of the wishing pool in the game.

Chen Xu just smiled and said nothing about this.

From the beginning, they were a little unclear about the gameplay elements of"Soul Knight".

But after experiencing it, they soon felt the fun of it. It is the most suitable type for niche independent games.

This is the charm of Roguelike.
