Number One Game Designer

"Student No. 9 Fang Xi, please come to the stage to show your work."

Fang Xi confirmed that the USB flash drive was still in his lower pocket, and then calmly went on stage.

But what made Fang Xi dumbfounded was that, probably because of the relationship between the previous few people, the cute hostess first asked Fang Xi if he wanted to abstain from voting after he came on stage? Fang Xi couldn't laugh or cry.

"No, no, no, I won't abstain, I'm here for the championship!"

The elementary school girl who was caught by the school as the host also seemed to be surprised, and smiled with her little canine teeth: "Then senior, come on!"

Audience seats below.

Lin Rongchang frowned when he saw Fang Xi who was calmly operating on the stage. He clearly remembered how dispirited the players who came up to the stage one after another after he stepped down, and it was the first one who was so calm. For some reason, Lin Rongchang was a little displeased. Great feeling.

On the stage, Xi plugged in the hard drive, clicked on the game to start, and then there was a long black screen waiting.

The three brothers in the audience couldn't help being happy. The three of Meng San helped Fang Xi test the game before, so they naturally understand what's going on.

"I remember Fang Xi's game's opening load seems to take five minutes." Meng San sighed.

"Didn't Lao Fang say later that it was optimized? Even if it didn't take five minutes, there would definitely be three minutes." Gao Wei gloated.

On the stage, Xi looked at the screen where Hei Ququ was still loading, then smiled at the hostess of the school girl next to him, and said, "Sister, my loading time is a bit long, please lend me the microphone to chat with your classmates ?”

Huya primary school girl looked curiously at the black screen, nodded and handed over the microphone.

Fang Xi took the microphone and said thank you, then walked to the front of the stage, stroked the microphone to attract the audience's attention.

"Hi everyone, I'm Fang Xi, and I'm the No. 9 contestant this time."

Then Fang Xi turned his body sideways to gesture to the still dark screen behind him.

"It's also the culprit of the current black screen display." The students on the field laughed in unison.

Fang Xi also smiled and said: "Of course, I'm just kidding, but the game I made is limited by technology, so the loading time is a bit long."

"And taking this opportunity, I want to talk to you about my motivation for this game. After all, idleness is idleness."

"Before making this game, like other contestants, I was also thinking about what kind of game to make?"

"In the end, I told myself that it would be easy to make a game that I was already familiar with, and I would be able to graduate smoothly, but I didn't want to."

"When we embarked on the road of game designers, we must have heard the teacher or the predecessors say, what do we do? We make games, games, and what is the meaning of games? The current developers, Teacher, the professors have given many definitions to games, such as puzzle, health and improvement, refreshment and so on, but in my opinion, there is only one evaluation standard for games, and that is whether it is fun or not!"

"But here I also know that for a graduation project without a budget, it is difficult to make a game that Anxie thinks is interesting in my mind, so I am actually more envious of the No. 1 player. After all, not everyone can get a sufficient budget. from."

Lin Rongchang in the audience pursed his lips when he heard Fang Xi's words, and then stretched out his hand to call for a person: "Check his information for me."

And Fang Xi on the stage continued.

"And since I can't make the fun game in my mind, then I can only settle for the next best thing and make something that can realize an interesting game."

"That's the game behind me."

And at this time, the game interface finally appeared on the monitor behind him: finally the loading is complete.

Fang Xi returned to the operating table with the microphone in hand, and introduced while operating the demonstration.

"It's a first-person shooter, and the reason I made it because,

In the first life shooting game, it is enough to only do the modeling of the individual arm, and it does not need to do the whole body modeling of the character, which can save a lot of effort. "When Fang Xi said this, many people in the audience laughed heartily.

Afterwards, Fang Xi finished the settings with three clicks and entered the game.

"Then everyone has also seen the interface of my game. It is very simple, very familiar, and very easy to understand. I believe that even people who have just played fps games can understand these signs, symbols, numbers, and representatives at a glance. what."

In the screen, Fang Xi controls the character to avoid the monster's attack, and then kills a strange creature in twos and threes.

"Then let's talk about the shooting game itself. What is the most important thing about a shooting game? I think it's a sense of coolness. Of course, we have summed up a more accurate term called a sense of substitution and a sense of feedback when we make games. As for a shooting game, it's fine if you can shoot a cool shot. So I didn’t do plot stuff, definitely not because I’m lazy and I’m alone.”

At the top of the screen, Xi manipulated the character to retreat while fighting, showing the whole picture of the map.

"Here you can see that this map is quite large, but it needs to be explained that one of the characteristics of this game is that the map is randomly generated every time you enter, it is difficult, or basically impossible to encounter two identical Maps and exploring the unknown are also part of the fun of the game.”

"My game content is almost so much, but here I want to make a joke. I said when the game was loaded just now, I don't think I can make fun things now, so I made this game to be able to do more. Good game, why do you say that?"

Xi moved the mouse above the monitor, forked out the game and returned to the desktop. Then he stood up and spoke into the microphone:

"Then you might as well guess, how big is my game body?"

Looking at the bewildered expressions of the students in the audience, Fang Xi laughed, and said with a soft smile: "You must not guess it, let me tell you directly, this game is only 64KB. It's not MB, it's not GB, it's only 64KB. "

"Any memory card, any memory card, as long as it has memory, can basically play this game—of course, it may not be able to run. This is the theme of my graduation project, a brand new algorithm."

Seeing that there are only 64KB files in the USB flash drive displayed by Xi above the monitor, the students in the audience couldn't help but feel a little dazed. In the background, there was a sound of tables and chairs overturning, and then a slightly bald man in his thirties rushed directly to the console.

After snatching the mouse from Fang Xi, he clicked on the USB flash drive, right-clicked to view the file information, saw the unmistakable "Size: 64KB" on the file information, and murmured: "This is impossible, this is unscientific... "

After him, five slightly affluent men walked out of the backstage. Fang Xi recognized that the leader was his dean, Professor Tao Junyi, and immediately went up to him and said, "Hello, Dean~" and then pointed to the console and lost his soul. The man: "Dean, this is?"

Professor Tao laughed and said, "Fang Xi, is your algorithm of extreme compression space real? That is Lu Tao, the technical director of Yinling Games, and one of today's judges. Actually, what you just said on stage We have all seen and heard it. We saw the game you made earlier and thought it was pretty good. Then you said that this is a new algorithm you developed, which can only be compressed to 64KB. Director Lu didn’t believe it, so he hurried to confirm it. , don't be surprised."

Fang Xi shook his head: "That's not true. This is my entry. According to the rules of the competition, the teachers can check my source code. The code can't fool anyone."

Professor Tao straightened his face and said: "Student Fang Xi, from your teacher's point of view, I suggest you consider giving up this competition, so that no one can see your source code, and you can use this new algorithm to compete with everyone." Negotiate with the company, so that you will get a lot more benefits than now."

Fang Xi shook his head: "I don't plan to do this. I am very happy to be graduating from Haifang University. It would be great if I could end up with this new algorithm, and it would be the best gift to my alma mater. Besides," Fang Xi Smiling and pointing to his head: "I believe that as long as you give me the future, this algorithm is nothing, I believe in myself."

Professor Tao was silent for a while and said: "If your algorithm is correct, if the game is really only 64KB, then you are definitely the best graduate of this year."

Hearing that Professor Tao had just come over to greet the jury, Lin Rongchang staggered a bit, looking at Fang Xi with cool eyes.
