Number One Game Designer

Fang Xi tried his best to organize the language. In principle, all Hongyi's games, as long as they are not very inconsistent, for example, "The Origin of Everything" can only be reproduced in the form of a comic or game egg in the Hongyi-structured game universe , after all, the normal world is not square, and the basic rules of the world are different, how can they be placed under the same world?

"Um... Kirkle, you should have played the original "Left 4 Dead" I made?"

Kirkel nodded calmly: "I haven't played."

? ? ?

Haven't played with you to nod a woolen head! Do you think you are an Indian who nods and shakes his head yes?

Resisting the urge to complain: "That was the beginning of my thoughts on Hongyi Universe."

Kirkle nodded here: "I know. At that time, our studio bought a copy, and then used a projector. We played alone, and I explained, and everyone watched and studied together."

Ganqing is still a diligent and thrifty housekeeping studio! Can you send a copy to each person in your studio with hundreds of people?

"Hongyi employees have benefits every month, and new games can be exchanged for new games with the usual points. If you have nothing to do, go and communicate with Xiaolan."

Fang Xi waved his hand, indicating that he should brake on this topic:

"When I was making "Left 4 Dead", I was making "Portal" at the same time, and then I was thinking, since they are all my games, then I can add some of the same content in it, so that our fans There will be a special feeling of surprise when you play it, which can be regarded as an Easter egg in a certain sense.”

"Then, as you know, it was later extended to the historical aspect. It is inevitable that the zombies will be wiped out in the end, and then where will the future of mankind go? So I made up the connection between the Aperture Company and the Umbrella Company, and later the "Portal" The last scene in the final DLC, now you know, what the players saw at that time is the battleship and portal of the Terrans in No Man’s Sky that you are working on now.”

Kirkel nodded, thoughtful, and at the same time lowered his head and took a pen to rustle the records in the notebook.

"As for the fact that I was completely obsessed with it later on, you should know that the fictional company I created in "Assassin" seeks the descendants of assassins and asks them to go back to the genes of their ancestors, and then experience the memories of their ancestors from the genes. The way of the game. And the concept of my current game universe is similar, we first fill in the history of the game, and then intercept a fragment of history to make a game."

After talking for a long time, Fang Xi was a little thirsty. At this time, a glass of water was handed to him in time. The person who poured the water was the pretty girl who was sitting in this position. Fang Xi nodded his thanks, took it and drank it all in one gulp. .

Kirkel on the other side of the screen has almost finished digesting, and probably understood what Fang Xi meant, and said with a strange smile:

"So the "GTA" they made is to intercept the United States in the game universe, and intercept a fragment of them in the early 20th century? I remember what Ogg said... Liberty City? So they are naturally You can make up any story you like, anyway, there is no such city as Liberty City in reality.”

Fang Xi nodded. It is also a trend that non-realistic works will gradually no longer use real place names. This is the easiest way to avoid disputes, just like you have no problem singing praises for a city in a game, but If you reflect on the crimes in this city, all ghosts and monsters will come out.

For example, what Ogg told himself before, the University of Chicago intends to sponsor their game. If the name of Chicago is used instead of Liberty City in the game, Fang Xi believes that the professors may not respond, but the students will definitely make noise , Will spray them: Our Chicago is free, equal and beautiful, how can it be the scene of this shooting every day in the game?

So this kind of operation is actually more to avoid suspicion, and then Fang Xi explained:

"The work of "GTA" is more realistic, so the time period of this game is almost before the road to survival,

Some easter eggs about No Man's Sky and Left 4 Dead will be buried, as well as some confrontations between assassins and Holy Orders, etc., but more of them will show more realistic crime themes, and will not involve too much supernatural and supernatural. Times stuff. "

"It's a smart way." Kirkle admired, like the name of the city in the game, it's not that you can't use LA or Washington, New York, Chicago, etc., but simply to avoid suspicion.

"So you have a conflict with Ogg?" Fang Xi asked a little interested.

Speaking of this, Kirkle's face became very stinky:

"After E3, our two studios had exchanges. Now we have more than 260 people in Chongming Bird Studio, and Ogg's studio in Chicago has only more than 100 people after E3. During the exchange, Ogg blatantly wanted to poach people from our studio."

Speaking of this, Kirkel on the screen was still uneasy, and asked Fang Xi instead:

"FANG, since "No Man's Sky" is entrusted to me to make, how about when I write the history of the planet and write that Liberty City was destroyed by an alien nuclear bomb?"

"no!"

"The ghost car studio in Liberty City was robbed by thugs?"

"Forget it!"

"The owner of the ghost car studio and the porn star were secretly photographed by the paparazzi in the car?"

"Please be human!"

After some hard work, Fang Xi promised to increase the recruiting budget for Chongming Bird by 8% this year before sending Kirker away.

Fang Xi didn't bother to call Aoge to confirm that Aoge went to the brother's studio to poach people. In fact, he could probably guess what was going on.

Because for the time being, the types of the two games are different. "No Man's Sky" focuses on the development of the random algorithm written by myself, which means that in the short term, all that is needed are masters in logic. "GTA" is More traditionally, the steps to make this game are very similar to the previous "Left 4 Dead".

The first is city modeling, coloring, then character modeling, scene layout, character addition, and finally adding a complete story line, which is the whole process of this game.

This also determines that the two studios now need different employees. As far as Fang Xi knows, although I think it is relatively stupid to make 3D GAL games before Chongmingniao Studio was acquired, but At that time, their talent and technology tended to be more inclined to do 3D production in such a small space, that is to say, their technicians were just right for Ghost Car Studio.

It's no wonder that Ogg secretly glanced at Kirker's subordinates during the exchange, but there is actually another possibility...

Under the curious eyes of the pretty girl, Fang Xi dialed Su Luo directly:

"Su Luo, did you know that Ghost Car has hired a group of employees recently?"

"Oh, I know..."

"What? The two studios negotiated on their own, and then transferred internally?"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Xi thought of the 8% increase in recruitment budget he had promised to Kirkle...

No wonder it is said that honest people are the scariest!
