Number One Game Designer

It was reasonable and expected, and in the end Lu Tao chose to hope to be independent.

But for those who come out to do creative work, few people are willing to work for other people's ideas all the time.

This has nothing to do with money, because creativity is like a flower. It was originally a seed, buried deep in everyone's heart, and what everyone sees, hears, and thinks is the nourishment of this seed. The seeds conceived, germinated, broke through the ground, and produced fancy flowers.

So as long as you have the ability, everyone will definitely want to show the flower in your heart, and will not just be willing to be someone else's gardener.

Fortunately, Fang Xi thought he was a good boss in this matter. From the bottom of his heart, Fang Xi also hoped that Lu Tao could find his own way and imprint his own marks on the games he made.

Sitting there and telling Fang Xi the answer, Lu Tao felt relaxed. This uncle, who is almost middle-aged, ah no, big brother, has only one thought in his mind: Unexpectedly, I am nearly middle-aged and ready to pursue my dream!

At this time, Lu Tao thought about the many things he had done in his career, and thought about the years he had worked in Yinling. From the beginning full of passion, to later playing games purely for KPI and completion of work, until later he was unable to calm down. I moved to Hongyi, but my thinking at the time was that I saw my youthful shadow in Fang Xi: Can games really be made according to my own preferences?

It turned out that Fang Xi was just like him when he was young, not like him who later dreamed of throwing himself on the street.

Standing beside Fang Xi, besides the sincere envy and blessings in Lu Tao's heart, there is also a bit of jealousy that inevitably breeds in his heart. This jealousy was quickly extinguished by his own reason, but Lu Tao clearly understood when he was introspecting. , His heart was about to move again!

At that time, Lu Tao had an impulse to find Fang Xi and tell him that he wanted to make his own game, and if he disagreed, he would leave the job! The game made by going bankrupt can still be available on the Honghu platform, why can't I do it myself? But fortunately, the subsequent rationality suppressed this crazy idea.

But now Fang Xi took the initiative to say that he wants to make the game independently. Fang Xi only serves as a guide, and after the game is over, he can make his own independent project to make the game he likes?

Lu Tao is so willing!

"Boss, come on, I'm ready!" Lu Tao smiled, he couldn't wait for a producer to write his own game first! The name of the boss must follow your own name, exciting!

Seeing Lu Tao's excited distorted smile and the terrible lines he said, Fang Xi felt a chill go straight from his tailbone to the sky, and immediately gave the command:

"You go back and calm down for two hours, and come back in two hours."

Touching the twitching muscles on his cheeks, Lu Tao smiled a few times, and then ran away.

...

Sitting in front of Fang Xi's table again, Lu Tao saw the manuscript paper Fang Xi handed him, and his heart trembled first: Could it be that Mr. Fang regretted it? Could it be that Fang always felt that he was too indulgent just now? Could it be...

Just before Lu Tao wanted to throw this manuscript paper directly on Fang Xi's face, Lu Tao saw the large characters on the cover of the bound manuscript paper:

"A Review of Asymmetric Games"

Take it quickly, judging from the name, this is Mr. Fang's general outline for game production, which is very precious.

On the other hand, Fang Xi, who was sitting opposite, looked at Lu Tao's changing expressions just now, and said hesitantly:

"Why don't you go to rest for another two hours? I don't know why I felt a sense of danger just now."

Smiling awkwardly, Lu Tao hastened to express that it was nothing, nothing in the way.

Taking the thin booklet with great care, Lu Tao immediately flipped through it.

Fang Xi made another cup of tea, skimmed off the froth, and said leisurely:

"It's a story about a hunt, with asymmetry at its core, and pushing teamwork at the same time."

"In this game,

We want to cancel the distinction of occupations, make the player's own area into a dungeon algorithm, and then layer the public area, generally follow the setting of a player's layer, but support team formation, the most allowed... Well, four Personal team it. "

"The background of the story... I thought it was on the earth before, but if you want to put it in prehistoric times, you can set it so that there was a strange mineral or something on the earth in the past. Anyway, they are all monsters, and the game is the ancient world at that time. A story of humans fighting those monsters."

"We use weapons to replace class distinctions in the game. You can read the last booklet. I have set up some weapons for you, such as heavy swords, meteor hammers, flails, etc. Take a look and tell me about yours. Initial thoughts."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xi continued to drink tea leisurely.

Lu Tao was still flipping through the brochure, which was very short, but he still read it twice. Lu Tao still admired Fang Xi's simple division of confrontational games into symmetric and asymmetric games. The summary of this concept is very short, but it is concise and to the point. The important thing is that Fang Xi sorted out this game theory more concretely. On this, Lu Tao believes that future game producers will definitely thank Fang Xi.

Lu Tao flipped through the pages very quickly, and finally closed the book for a moment of contemplation. Lu Tao tentatively said: "The biggest core point of this game should be the balance of weapons? I think your suggestion, boss, is that it is best to have more than ten types of weapons, and more Considering the online factor, it’s best to keep all weapons as available as possible, right?”

Fang Xi nodded without speaking.

"At the same time, these weapons also need to make some reasonable changes. For example, in the setting, they need to hunt dragons that are much larger than humans. In this case, it is like a triangular thorn that is very effective against humans, or a foil sword. It’s hard to design things in.”

Fang Xi nodded again without speaking.

"In that case, in fact, the division of weapon functions is similar to that of the previous war method, animal husbandry. It still needs auxiliary weapons, such as blunt weapons that have a stun effect, sharp weapons that can cause bleeding, and even some magic weapons?"

Fang Xi still didn't speak, but nodded frequently.

"Take a hammer head! The last magic weapon is obviously unreliable! Don't think I don't know, this setting is actually a variant of competitive and action games, and magic weapons must not be added!"

Fang Xi nodded again, suddenly realized: "So you know!"

Lu Tao was in a hurry, but Fang Xi continued unhurriedly: "Didn't I say earlier, this game I will only advocate leading, and the rest will be completed according to your ideas and habits. These freedoms I'll give you the right, and I've just said what I need to do."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xi directly issued an order to evict guests: "In short, you are in charge of this project now, code-named 'hunting', I hope to see a demo for testing today next year, and you can do your best for the rest, okay, You can go out."

After saying that, Lu Tao was directly pushed out by Fang Xi.
