Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Inside the office conference room.

In the team, in addition to the members responsible for the two projects of"League of Legends" and"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", all members are here.

Everyone was sitting in the office, waiting for Chen Xu to announce something about the latest game.

Chen Xu hasn't arrived yet.

Everyone present was already discussing quietly.

After all, there has been a topic on the Internet these days about Chen Xuxin’s game.

Although it is not a hot search topic, it is actually not too popular.

After all, Chen Xu today is no longer the little shrimp he used to be.

Everyone in the team was also very excited at this time.

Everyone within the team now.

Zhao Shan, Chen Qingzhu and Qin Yi, these first batch of old employees who followed Chen Xu, are basically qualified game designers.

They have basic qualities in all aspects.

《Dark Souls, Warcraft, and League of Legends, all masterpieces, have also given everyone a lot of exercise.

But now, everyone is still very excited.

Nothing else, because the game to be developed this time is likely to be a game on the VR platform.

For everyone, this is really the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair.

"Do you think the lawn mowing game Mr. Chen mentioned before is true?"In the office, Chen Qingzhu couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"It's hard to say."Qin Yi said

"Well, this is really hard to say. Jiang Bin added.

Zhao Shan next to him looked at the two people and said unhappily:"Why are you two pretending to be the Riddler?" I trust Mr. Chen, this time it should be a lawn mowing game"

"However, if players are treated like grass by monsters, it seems that it can be called a lawn-mowing game, right?"Qin Yi said quietly.

At this time, Chen Xu, who had just opened the door and came in, also heard everyone's discussion.

Chen Xu was speechless for a while:"What are you thinking? When did I deceive the players?"

"This time it is really a lawn mowing game, where players can use monsters as grass to mow."

While talking, Chen Xu connected the computer to the projector, and then displayed the design concept draft he had written before.

The name of a game appeared on the projector

《At the same time, Chen Xu also designed the original painting of the protagonist ALEX in the game in advance.

For this game, in terms of art, what Chen Xu pays more attention to is the creation of the character ALEX.

Therefore, he is also responsible for the art aspect.

As for the other aspects, Chen Xu was not prepared to do it himself.

Because for the game"Prototype of Murder", it is actually not very important.

To put it bluntly,"Prototype" is mainly a fast-food game.

Players have a great time playing the game, and this is true throughout the game.

Basically the entire game is AELX's one-man show.

Everyone else is actually just a tool man.

He won’t write too much about his character’s story

"This is a game mainly based on action elements. Of course, there are also skill and talent trees with RPG development elements."

"In addition, because this time it will be based on a VR platform, the lens and operation mode will also have some different changes from before."

Chen Xu began to tell everyone about some key points in the development of"Prototype of Murder".

There is also a core fun of the gameplay.

In fact, the development of a game and the art content are not a huge difficulty.

Because as long as you are willing Investment must be above the standard level.

Plot and core gameplay, these are the soul of a game.

Of course, there are some games that use art as their selling point, but"Prototype" is obviously not in this category.

So Chen Xu also explains more from the perspective of gameplay.

For example, in the game, the player can be said to be a person with super powers.

He has a variety of powerful abilities, including hammering planes and tearing apart tanks.

In addition, in the game , players can also have camouflage skills.

Even after upgrading and adding points, the player can become an NPC and perform a deception.

For example, mobilize a large army to attack a certain location for his own use, or mutate creatures.

In addition, in the game, you are extremely free in the city The gameplay is also the core selling point.

Including a parkour action performed by the player in the game.

These characteristics that are obviously different from ordinary action-adventure games were all explained by Chen Xu

《Prototype is not a true open world game.

But there are also some open elements, which is what makes this game fascinating.

In this world, open games have actually emerged very early.

Multi-line plots and maps are not linear but allow players to choose freely. These can be defined as open games.

In previous lives, as early as the birth of video games, there were open games such as Wizardry, Might and Magic, and Genesis.

Therefore, open games themselves are not something worthy of praise.

After the explanation, everyone was a little excited

"Become a person with super powers and parkour on high-rise buildings, so cool!"Qin Yi said with some excitement

"You can also pretend to be someone else, which sounds very interesting!"Jiang Bin agreed.

"But, Mr. Chen, can this pass the trial?"Chen Qingzhu looked at Chen Xu with a little worry.

After all, just from the game overview, you can feel that this game is not suitable for all ages like the previous"Minecraft".

Even compared to the previous game"Escape" The game developed is more bloody and violent

"Don’t worry, the concept book has been submitted to the game committee. There won’t be much problem in the initial review. After the game is completed, the review can basically be passed directly."Chen Xufeng said calmly.

"Awesome, Mr. Chen!"Zhao Shan gave a thumbs up.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Xu with admiration.

There is someone above!

"What's your expression?"Chen Xu looked at the expressions on everyone's faces that I understand, and couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Do you know where you are missing?"

"You only see the bloody violence on the surface, why don't you see the deeper elements?"

"From the initial revenge to the final redemption, this is a game that explores the glory of human nature"

"At the same time, it is also a satire on capitalism, which on the surface sings about human rights and freedom, but is inconsistent with its appearance."

"When making a game, don’t just take it superficially!"Chen Xu looked at everyone and solemnly repeated what he had said to Hou Yalin before.

Listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone present was stunned.

It seemed that... there was really nothing wrong with him.
