National Game Producer

""my world"?"

Zhou Kaiyuan put on the [Editor Resonator], changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and lay down on the sofa.

Just hearing the name of the game, he couldn't think of anything corresponding to it.

However, given that it only took two people 6 or 7 hours to make this game, he did not expect the game itself to be very fun, but only hoped that he could see good creativity and ideas in it.

Click the icon on the desktop to enter the game directly.

On the initial interface of the game, even the basic options have not been fully designed. There are only two options, [Start Game] and [Exit Game], displayed alone in the center of the screen.

'It's too rough... Instead of making a game that's not even a semi-finished product, it's better to write a game concept and design it honestly...'

Zhou Kaiyuan muttered something in his mind and clicked the [Start Game] option.

The next second, he entered the game world directly.

There are no detailed options in the middle, and there is no possibility of content such as opening animations.

It is indeed extremely crude.

Zhou Kaiyuan estimated that if this game could only last half an hour, it would be considered a great success.

The picture in front of me gradually became clearer.

The initial scene of the game seems to be in a forest.

The color of the grass and trees is fine, but their shape...

Is it too square?

Not only are the grass and tree trunks made of small squares, but the leaves are also similar squares.

Is this a block world?

Since it is a world made of blocks, there is no question of whether the modeling is good or bad. At most, it can be seen that Yu Suai’s art design did not stretch her hips... At least the other party made this world look like a normal one.

world, not like anything else.

'It's a good design that saves time and effort...'

Zhou Kaiyuan couldn't help but smile, and then controlled the character to move around.

Right below the game interface, there are several icons.

In addition to the row of quick inventory boxes at the bottom, there is a row of red hearts on the left side above it, and a row of chicken legs on the right side.

According to his understanding of the new type of game, the red heart icon should be the character's health.

As for the chicken drumstick icon... does it refer to the amount of food, or the degree of fullness?

Forget it, let’s follow the basic flow of the game step by step.

Although this game looks simple, there is still a basic novice tutorial.

Within a few moments, Zhou Kaiyuan learned to freely walk, run, jump, sneak, and open the inventory and other operations.

Through the personal image display in the inventory interface, he discovered that he was also a square-headed human being.

It looks kind of cute...

Then, Zhou Kaiyuan followed the instructions of the novice tutorial, separated one of the five pieces of [Wood] that already existed in the inventory, and placed it in a 2×2 square next to the personal image.

Then, he saw four [boards] appearing in a separate square on the right side of the 2×2 square.

The game names this process "synthesis".

'What is synthesis? This is obviously processing...'

Zhou Kaiyuan followed the instructions, took down the four [wooden boards], and then placed them back into the 2×2 square grid one by one.

Then, a [Synthesis Station] appeared on the right.

When he reached this point, Zhou Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment.

Let’s reorganize the entire process from beginning to end. This seems to be equivalent to... a process of gradually processing [wood] into [synthesis table]?

"Hey, isn't this the block world of one of the lines in "The Stanley Parable"? Have you made it into a complete game?" Du Rongshan's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

When Zhou Kaiyuan heard this, he immediately paused the game, took off his VR glasses, and looked at the other party.

He had played "The Stanley Parable" before, but did not have the time or energy to play all the endings.

"This game appears in The Stanley Parable?"

"right."

Du Rongshan nodded, "At that time, I was still wondering what the purpose of such a cube world with basically no interaction was used for. I never thought that I would see the true face of the cube world here today."

"So, actually you have already had the design concept for this game?" Zhou Kaiyuan turned to look at He Ji.

"The games we make are basically related to each other."

He Xu smiled and said, "Using this format to make games makes it easier for people to adapt to it, and it's also easier to bring surprises to people, isn't it?"

"Um……"

Zhou Kaiyuan glanced at Du Rongshan, who was looking excited, and nodded thoughtfully, "It's indeed a good little trick."

"The world with high-tech scenes after the cube world is also a game?" Du Rongshan asked again.

"That's the next game we're going to make." He Xu replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then you have to do it quickly!" Du Rongshan rubbed his hands, showing an impatient expression.

Zhou Kaiyuan glanced at him, put on VR glasses, and continued to experience the game.

It seemed that the ambitions of these people were much greater than he imagined.

——They seem to be planning to use their own way to bring all-round influence to the gaming circle of this world.

This includes some things in the game itself, as well as some things outside the game...

Of course, Zhou Kaiyuan still doesn't think there is any reason for the two of them to finish "Minecraft" in half a day.

Even if He Jiu had the concept of this game before, it was just an idea that existed in his mind.

There are still many things that need to be implemented in order to turn this into an actual game.

It's like telling a story.

It may not be difficult to imagine a wonderful and interesting story in your mind to touch your emotions.

But it is quite difficult to tell this story so that others can fully feel the excitement and fun and touch other people's emotions.

If there was no threshold for expression in artistic creation, then the gaming industry would probably have been flooded with masterpieces long ago.

Return to the game world.

After completing the production of the [Workbench], Zhou Kaiyuan continued to follow the instructions of the novice tutorial and placed the [Workbench] on the ground.

Click to use [Workbench], and the inventory will automatically open.

The personal image in the inventory interface disappeared, replaced by a 3×3 synthesis grid.

'There are five more small squares than the 2×2 synthesis square in the personal inventory...Does this mean that I can process more things?'

Zhou Kaiyuan reacted quickly, and several possibilities appeared in his mind instantly.

The tutorial continues.

This time, the tutorial asked him to place two [wooden boards] vertically to form four [wooden sticks].

After completing the previous step, the tutorial asked him to use three [wooden boards] and two [wooden sticks] to create the shape of an ax within a 3×3 square.

Then……

He successfully harvested a [Wooden Ax] in the square on the right!

The tutorial ended here, and Zhou Kaiyuan was also stunned.

Obviously, this time it is the processing process from [wood] to [wooden axe].

This process is undoubtedly much more complicated than the previous process of synthesizing the [Workbench].

However, Zhou Kaiyuan felt the unique charm of this game.

He realized that this original game world might really be "Minecraft"!

How on earth did this guy He Ji come up with the idea of ​​making such a game?

This is too unreasonable...

Zhou Kaiyuan took a deep breath and continued the game.

He picked up the [wooden axe] and started cutting down the trees in the forest.

He was not surprised for long when the small square at the bottom of a tree was cut down, but the small square above it stood in the air without collapsing.

Because he quickly thought that this should be a good mechanism for "building blocks" as he pleased.

After cutting down three trees, he harvested fifteen pieces of [wood].

Then, he began to use [wooden planks] and [wooden sticks] to conduct various experiments on the [synthesis table].

Within a moment, he made [Wooden Sword], [Wooden Pickaxe], [Wooden Shovel], [Box], [Wooden Door], [Wooden Boat] and many, many other things.

Such exploration and discovery made Zhou Kaiyuan extremely excited.

And the experience of starting from scratch and accumulating survival capital bit by bit also filled his heart with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

At this time, he had completely forgotten the mentality of "this game is not even a semi-finished product and cannot be fun", and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the world of studying the item synthesis table.

It’s so interesting to develop production and living tools step by step, improve the level of science and technology, etc.!

Time passes quickly.

The sky in the game is slowly getting dark.

An inexplicably depressing atmosphere slowly spread in the forest.

Zhou Kaiyuan glanced at the five [torches] given to him at the beginning of the game in his backpack, and after thinking about it, he took them all out and inserted them one by one near his "base".

[Torch] dispels the darkness.

The surrounding environment soon became brighter.

Zhou Kaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the [Workbench], ready to continue studying the item synthesis table.

"Ho~"

At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded in the forest.

Zhou Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked around, and found a figure not far ahead who was slowly approaching.

He was a little confused and stood there hesitantly without moving.

When the figure came near the [torch], he saw clearly that the figure seemed to be the green-skinned version of himself.

Green skin?

Zhou Kaiyuan felt vaguely that something was wrong.

However, before he could react, the green man walked up to him and bumped him fiercely.

The row of red hearts at the bottom of the interface flashed twice, and half the space was instantly empty.

Losing blood!

Zhou Kaiyuan stepped back in panic.

This is actually a monster!

At this time, he suddenly remembered.

I just made a [Wooden Sword]!

The function of [Wooden Sword] is naturally self-evident.

'I should have thought that there would be monsters in this world...'

Zhou Kaiyuan muttered something in his mind and quickly picked up the [Wooden Sword] in the quick inventory.

Seeing the green man approaching again, he quickly swung his sword.

"Uh~"

The green man roared and was pushed back for a distance, then continued to approach fearlessly.

Zhou Kaiyuan was hit by the opponent again.

He didn't know what to do next, so he could only fight with the opponent regardless.

In the end, he killed the green man at the cost of consuming half of the red hearts.

The opponent dropped two pieces of [rotten flesh] on the spot, as well as some luminous spheres that would be automatically absorbed by the body.

'The glowing sphere seems to be the experience value. As for the [carrion]... is this green man a zombie?'

Zhou Kaiyuan was still making guesses in his mind when he suddenly heard a "roar~" coming from nearby again.

He was shocked, quickly paused the game and took off his VR glasses.

The immersion in this game is so strong that this old man can’t stand it anymore!

Wang Jingyao saw him taking off his VR glasses and asked curiously:

"How's this game?"

"good……"

Zhou Kaiyuan replied casually and turned his attention to He Xu, "Will monsters keep appearing at night?"

"It will always be refreshed." He Xu nodded with a smile.

"Then how to deal with those monsters?"

"Hit them!"

"Uh, is there any other way?"

"If that doesn't work, just build a home."

"Building a home?" Zhou Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly.

yes!

He can build "building blocks"!

He just made a [wooden door]!

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Kaiyuan quickly put on VR glasses and returned to the game world again.

Wang Jingyao turned his head and glanced at He Xu.

He finally figured it out.

——The game that these two students spent a whole day making made Zhou Kaiyuan and Du Rongshan addicted again!

He suddenly felt a little...actually very curious about what kind of game this was.

"How long can I play this minimalist version?" he asked.

"Well...at least I won't get tired of it within two or three days." He Xu thought about it.

"..." Wang Jingyao was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked out of the office.

He Cu and Yu Suai looked at each other, not knowing why.

About fifteen minutes later.

Wang Jingyao returned to the office with a set of [Editor Resonance Meter].

He interrupted Du Rongshan and copied a game from him.

After everything was ready, he smiled at He and Zhu, put on VR glasses, and started the game.

At this point, the three middle-aged and elderly people are all immersed in the game world of "Minecraft".

He Xu and Yu Suai looked at each other and smiled helplessly, but they couldn't say much and could only take out their mobile phones to kill time.

…

the other side.

Zhou Kaiyuan had already surrounded the "base" twice with planks of wood at this time, successfully defending against the attack of the green-skinned zombies.

Fortunately, there is only one kind of monster, green zombies, at night, and each time you kill one, the next one will appear.

Otherwise, he might not be able to hold on until daytime.

During this period, he discovered that the row of chicken legs at the bottom of the interface seemed to be the satiety level.

When it is full, you can continue to restore the red heart on the left.

And to fill it up, you obviously need to eat food.

After eating the three [breads] given at the beginning, Zhou Kaiyuan suddenly found that he had an inexplicable sense of urgency to find food as soon as possible.

But in addition, he also needs to explore the item synthesis table, cut down trees to build a home, explore the forest, find new materials, etc.

If this continues, it feels like there is no way one person can handle it all!
