Number One Game Designer

The start time of Hongyi Games is the eighth day of the first lunar month. When Fang Xi approved the holidays, he simply added three days to the statutory basis to make up ten days of holidays. Let the employees who have worked hard for two months have a comfortable vacation.

The employees are comfortable, Fang Xi's New Year's can be described as dismal.

After returning from Haifang City, she learned about BD's little tricks, and just as she and Lu Wanqi decided on a countermeasure, she was squatted down by Lu Wanqi's mother when she went out.

After learning that Fang Xi's parents were not at home, Fang Xi kindly invited Fang Xi to have a meal. Although he really wanted to agree, but seeing Lu Wanqi's gloomy expression next to him, Fang Xi still refused wisely and heartbroken.

However, the exciting thing is that a trip to Haifang City does pay off:

Professor Tao said before that he would help him inquire about former students through personal relationships. Fang Xi thought it was just a humble speech, but after only a week, there were several more resumes forwarded by Professor Tao in Fang Xi's private mailbox. Fang Xi Immediately gave a thumbs up to Professor Tao's efficiency, and his alma mater is still reliable.

Professor Tao sent seven resumes to Fang Xi, and Fang Xi responded to them one by one, saying that if he had time, he could come to Beiyang City for an interview at any time and reimburse the round-trip air ticket. The Sincere Seven couldn't say anything to refuse, and they basically didn't need to be busy just after the new year, so they made an appointment with Fang Xi one by one.

The seven people are basically working in other small companies now, two front-ends, four senior engineers, and one product manager, and part-time operations planning at the same time, there is no way, the positions of small companies are often not so detailed, most of the time One person has to hold two or more positions part-time.

Basically, it is suitable for the current Hongyi, Fang Xi said "I want it all".

However, job hunting in the workplace is not only about the boss screening employees, capable employees will also screen the boss and the company, two-way choice, so the final result depends on the results of the interview.

In addition to these, Fang Xi held a short meeting with the heads of each department on the first day of work.

Among them, the operation department is relatively complicated. Fang Xi met Liu Hai who came to the company to work overtime on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. BD company is serious, but their influence is limited to one search engine, and the biggest damage they can do is that when searching for Hongyi and swallowing heaven and earth, all the negative news pops up.

But the society has been developing, and now it is no longer the Internet era of "don't decide to BD when things happen". Liu Hai suggested that in this case, it is better to completely tilt the advertising resources to Weibo, forums and TV advertisements. The results of publicity in these areas may not lose to BD.

Fang Xi listened to Liu Hai's suggestion and asked him to let him go. At the same time, Fang Xi was also thinking about the company's next game.

Although I have already decided in my heart that I will try to do "Left 4 Dead" next, which will bring about a wave of zombies.

But before that, the R\u0026D department of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" couldn't go to work every day to make tea and read newspapers for routine maintenance. Those days were too comfortable, so we can consolidate Hongyi Games' current leading position in web games and do it while it's hot. The most important thing is to get out the pages that can be released.

At the morning meeting on the first day of work, Tao Junyi was invited to Fang Xi's office, and the first thing he saw were the two plans neatly placed in front of Fang Xi.

After the success of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth", Tao Junyi may have considered the issue of new projects. After all, the game is already on the right track. Even if new content needs to be updated later, it can be extended and updated slowly. So in fact, the current project in hand At least more than half of the R\u0026D team fell into a situation of having nothing to do after the holiday, but he believed that Fang Xi should have an idea for the new project, so he didn't mention it. Looking at it now, it's finally here?

Fang Xi nodded: "Sit down, here are the two page game plans for this year, let's take a look first."

Tao Junyi also nodded,

He directly picked up a plan on the left hand side and read out: ""Three Kingdoms Killing"?"

Opening the planning book, the first thing Tao Junyi saw was a simple and clear introduction to the rules, the respective functions of [Kill], [Flash], and [Peach], as well as detailed descriptions of the skills of some temporary generals. The conceptual sketch of the UI, generally speaking, it can be seen that it is a relatively simple card game.

The planning book was very short, Tao Junyi read it quickly, and even turned it over to read it again, then reluctantly put it down and picked up another planning book, saying that the name of this one is also very simple: "Legendary World".

Speaking of this, many later players may wonder why the legend was so popular back then?

Because at that time, Legend was the first game that was truly "scraping" and the initial setting of this game was very simple:

For melee fighters, long-range mages, and comprehensive Taoist priests, the map is also extremely simple. Mafa Continent, Mengzhong, Sabah, Beach, Magic Valley, etc., the level system is very long. It is a very "rough" game.

The legendary gameplay is very simple, want to upgrade? brush! want money? brush! Want material? brush! Want good gear? Brush FMD! At that time, other games in China were the same as in the world now, and the gameplay still focused on user experience and the like, but the success of the legend shows that online games need some simple and crude ones!

If this system were put on a stand-alone game, Fang Xi would comment that the game is very stupid, but in online games, for players who pass the time, they can idle away, and for collectors, they don’t have to. Keep brushing and brushing, and for players who want to become stronger, they can even find a sense of accomplishment from the process of brushing!

And in the end is the legendary simple and rough PK system. Anyone who has played this game has experienced the fear of being blocked by RMB fighters in the safe zone and not daring to go out, and the back and forth in Hongming Village after being hanged in the later stage. pleasure. This allows players to really feel that they are getting stronger during the brushing process!

Tao Junyi read this proposal for a relatively long time.

Fang Xi waited for Tao Junyi to read it and said:

"Talk about your ideas, we can only make one model now, which one do you want to make?"

"Mr. Fang, are you responsible for these two plans?"

Fang Xi nodded.

"I personally prefer the first of these two plans." Tao Junyi smiled sheepishly:

"Because I'm personally a fan of the Three Kingdoms, so I'm more interested in seeing this Three Kingdoms card game."

Fang Xi nodded, the most important thing in making games is interest, so although he felt a little regretful and felt that Legendary's income might be a little more explosive, Fang Xi put away the "Legend" plan.
