Number One Game Designer

When the time came to mid-March, Hongyi Games was officially on the right track.

First of all, the entire "team building and materials collection operation" was completely over, and the second wave of people who went out finally came back. The projects of the three groups were officially put on the agenda. Fang Xi also sent an encouraging email, explaining that the team building was due to The previous project "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" was a great success. In the future, Hongyi's annual team building, salary increase and bonus will also become a common practice. The specific budget is linked to the annual KPI, so I look forward to everyone's hard work.

The second is that Fang Xi finally waited for Lu Tao and his party in Beiyang City. Fang Xi had been waiting for him for a long time. According to the information from the headhunter, Lu Tao changed two companies after graduation. The former director position is also one of the most valued young people in Yinling Games, but after Ren Xiang joined, it seems to have replaced Lu Tao's position.

"Half of the reason why Ren Xiang is valued now is because of you." Lu Tao said after taking a sip of his latte comfortably.

"I understand." Fang Xi nodded, "Because of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth"."

"More than that." Lu Tao shook his head, and by the way, reached out his hand to signal the waiter to ask for a candy.

"After Ren Xiang's game came out, the turnover has been falling all the way. Originally, the enthusiasm of the upper echelons of Yinling for web games has declined, but your turnover in March has reached a new high, right?"

Fang Xixi smiled: "That's right, I didn't expect you to be quite well informed."

"That's it. You can still do this when you are being sniped by BD. If you didn't fall out with BD at the beginning, wouldn't you have to double it now?"

Fang Xi thought to himself, if he hadn't fallen out with BD back then, maybe the old promotion method would still be the same now, and there might not be the current changes. But who can tell when a butterfly flaps its wings?

"So," Lu Tao added three more sugar cubes into the cup, causing Fang Xi to look sideways.

"Do you think you are the only one poaching people now? Before I left Haifang City, more companies wanted to poach people from your company."

"They want to know how a small company in a little-known second-tier city became a dark horse. Including Yinling, which I left."

"Then they will have to pay a big price." Fang Xi chuckled.

"That's true." Lu Tao laughed and said, "Your previous team building has become popular on the Internet. Now Haifang City is discussing Hongyi's benefits, and many people are asking how to join Hongyi's game."

"So." Lu Tao gestured to the four nervous young men standing behind him. "I just brought in a few former old subordinates, all of whom are trustworthy in their ability and character."

Fang Xi looked past Lu Tao, nodded to several young people, and said:

"Then as we discussed before, you come to bring a project in person. As for the people... for now, it's still enough."

"Although I don't know why you have so much confidence in the e-sports you mentioned...but you are the boss and respect your wishes."

.........

We have only come to this world in 2009 now. Although the online world is developing rapidly, the game has a bit of a taste of exhaustion.

Although FPS shooting games were also born, and there were small-scale competitions at the beginning, they could not be expanded after all. The biggest reason for this is probably that the game's viewing quality is a little bit worse after all.

For Counter-Strike players, the judgment of the attack direction at the beginning, the method of cutting the gun, and the angle of throwing mines are all worth studying carefully. However, most of them are passers-by without foundation. This competition is tantamount to being stupid with capital letters. The first perspective can only see this person walking and falling down, and the third perspective seems to be inoperable. Well, Fang Xi has never seen anyone discussing games in Asia.

So Fang Xi also came to his senses, isn't this a piece of fertile ground for him?

In the world of the last time and space, various developers have effectively summarized the classification of games, and no longer talk about the crude distinction of stand-alone games and online games.

Some games are suitable for multiplayer, some games are suitable for social interaction, some games are suitable for immersion to experience the story, and some games are born for competition.

So recently, in addition to supervising the project progress of the three teams, Fang Xi also downgraded the Jinghong engine, removed all the 3D departments, and simplified an ultra-low configuration version of the Jinghong engine. Prepared for the competition.

In terms of competition, because it involves the most important viewing link, it is difficult for 3D to be welcomed by the market until a good broadcast method is found. On the basis of the traditional God's perspective broadcast, the most popular is undoubtedly 2.5 D game. And there are further restrictions: 2.5D games in small venues.

In Fang Xi's office, Lu Tao also saw that Fang Xi asked the workers to spend an afternoon building a sand table of maps, and put them on a large table with a length of two meters and a width of two meters, occupying a lot of space in Fang Xi's office.

Lu Tao looked at the map in front of him, which was a bit rough, but the three main routes, the defense cover and the base spring water were still made. After Fang Xi's previous explanation, he also roughly understood the gameplay of this game: " So, this is the game I want to play?"

Fang Xi caressed this map. This map had many names in the last time and space, such as Guardian Ruins, Summoner Canyon, and even King Canyon.

"That's right, this is the game you guys are going to make next. Xiaolan in your office will lead you there. It was set up a week ago, and then you can transfer the manpower from other project teams. I will give you the rights. How to do it is It's your business. Your project team also has an independent office, and the special engines have already been installed on the computer. Later, this sandbox will also be moved to your office, and you can use it as you like."

With Lu Tao in place, the last project in Fang Xi's plan is also complete, and the most important next step is to build the platform.

The platform that he temporarily named the young dragon has already made a preliminary appearance. Last week, Fang Xi also threw it to the pre-established R\u0026D team for improvement. The core code of the platform and the game are completely different, so Recently, Fang Xi is also learning by doing. At present, it is still difficult for the young dragon to reach the height of the steam platform in his mind and even in his previous life, but fortunately, Fang Xi has plenty of time.

And what was the biggest advantage of the steam platform in the previous life? Download speed, in the previous life, Fatty G directly hired the famous inventor of **** to join the development and design of the platform, so the steam platform is a few blocks away from other platforms in terms of download speed alone, the problem is Where can I find such a master who can invent the download algorithm by himself?
