Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Hearing Ruan Ningxue's words, Chen Xu couldn't help blushing.

But for a moment, Chen Xu still adjusted, coughed lightly to dissolve the awkward atmosphere, and then began to think of excuses.

"Well, there are mainly multiple reasons..."

Ruan Ningxue, who was sitting across from the table, could not help but pouted.

Man's mouth, liar ghost!

"But I can accept the conditions you mentioned, but I also have a requirement!"

Ruan Ningxue looked at Chen Xu with a smile and said.

Hearing this, Chen Xu was stunned for a moment.

He was still thinking about how to convince the other party.

To find the other party, in fact, Chen Xu really didn't have much confidence at first, just wanted to try it.

After all, I know the situation in my heart, take the money?

It is definitely impossible to take it out now, but if it is taken out, then don’t do it in the follow-up games.

After all, there are still some just-needed resources that need to be purchased.

By virtue of the relationship between the younger brother and the younger sister?

But the other party is not yours, and has no obligation to help you. Besides, it looks like a big cake.

But now, is there a drama?

"Sister, what is your request?" Chen Xu asked Ruan Ningxue.

"One month, and if your game sales are not good in the future, then you have to come and work for me!"

"Sign at least two contracts! Of course, in terms of treatment, I definitely won't think about prostituting my labor force like you, my junior."

Ruan Ningxue said with a smile.

Hearing Ruan Ningxue's words, Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses.

Chen Xu didn't have too many ideas about the book. After all, there were actually quite a few female book painters in the previous life.

For example, 'Teak N', 'Nishizawa 5㍉', ahem... In fact, Chen Xu doesn't know any of these artists and their works, let alone read them, they all heard from friends.

"Then what kind of sales are considered poor?" Chen Xu asked Ruan Ningxue after returning to his senses.

If the other party said the sales of several million copies, then Chen Xu really didn't have much confidence.

After all, this is a parallel world, which is very different from the game environment of the previous life.

Although there is no piracy factor, a market of its own is also different from the previous life.

There is no capital for promotion and operation, and it can be said that it is quite difficult to rely on the player's tap-style recommendation.

Including the highly acclaimed indie games in the previous life, which sold millions of copies, even tens of millions of copies.

But if you look closely, you will find that many of these games are only popular after half a year and a year.

It was silent at first.

Stronger than "The Binding of Isaac", etc., were basically unknown in the early days.

After all, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

So if Ruan Ningxue said that one million copies were sold, then Chen Xu felt that he should do it alone.

Because if he agrees, with the game he currently plans to make, there is a high probability that he will become a master painter.

"Eh... 100,000, um, 50,000!"

"If the sales do not exceed 50,000 within 1 month after the release, then you are considered a loser!"

Ruan Ningxue took out her phone and seemed to be sending something.

After about a minute, Ruan Ningxue raised her head and said a number.

Hearing Ruan Ningxue's words, Chen Xu couldn't help showing a confident smile.

50,000 sales a month?

Although the game environment is a little different from the previous life, and there is not much start-up capital on hand.

But Chen Xu can only say that this number is completely for nothing.

"No problem." Chen Xu agreed directly.

"Then senior, let's officially start tomorrow! I'll go back to do the preparatory work first, see you tomorrow morning!"

After speaking, he greeted Ruan Ningxue without giving the other party time to react.

Chen Xu turned his head and left the coffee shop.

Only Ruan Ningxue, who was still a little stunned, remained.

You... do you mean less?

Thinking of this, Ruan Ningxue quickly opened her communication and found a phone number and dialed it.

After two seconds, the other party connected.

"Sister Xin, didn't you lie to me just now? Is 50,000 sales in one month really a high sales volume?" Ruan Ningxue was a little puzzled when she thought of Chen Xu's self-confidence just now.

A crisp female voice came from the phone: "It's not high, but it's relative. Don't you ask if a person makes a game for the first time and doesn't have much money, how many sales are high?"

"I don't have money, this is my first time making a game, and the engine resources available to the game designers are lost. This is a hellish start. 50,000 sales are S-level difficulty. Thousands of sales are considered passable.”

"Really?" Ruan Ningxue was suspicious.

"Of course, this is the judgment of a professional game practitioner!"

"By the way, Xiaoxue, are you planning to make a game? Have you figured it out? I just said, come and help me with the original painting design and vertical painting, we will definitely be able to make a big business!"

Yang Xin on the other end of the phone was very excited.

"Sister Xin, Sister Xin? What did you say? My signal is not good here, let's talk later!"

Hearing the excited voice on the other end of the phone, Ruan Ningxue's expression changed slightly.

Then thinking of what Yang Xin said on the phone, Ruan Ningxue couldn't help but smile.

It was the first time I made a game, I had no money, and it was a hell-level difficulty. Chen Xu had already filled all the tags.

So the problem of my assistant is finally solved!

The only regret is that it will take two months for this assistant to officially take up the post.

After saying goodbye to Ruan Ningxue, Chen Xu returned to his apartment.

After cleaning up the room briefly, Chen Xu sat in front of the table and looked at the laptop.

As a development machine, a configuration of the computer is quite satisfactory, at least it is enough for the project "Magic Mirror".

Of course, for some larger games, Chen Xu can't develop them at all.

Because there is no money at all, and the resource permissions of the official engine are not enough.

As for resource permissions, there are basically two modes for upgrading.

The first game designer to be officially certified, and the title was raised.

As for how to mention?

Game sales, awards won, these are all points that can be included in the evaluation.

Second, it is much simpler and more direct. Using the banknote ability directly, how much resources you can use is related to how strong your banknote ability is.

However, these things are completely unimportant to the current Chen Xu.

And games like "Magic Mirror" don't use much.

At least the resources that Chen Xu can use are absolutely sufficient.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Xu was writing the first draft of "Magic Mirror", that is, the game design document.

Although there is only one developer, Chen Xu, Ruan Ningxue is only doing illustration.

But that doesn't mean you don't need a design concept draft.

Just like writing an outline for an essay, it can greatly improve efficiency.
