Number One Game Designer

It is very difficult for Fang Xi's subordinates in this time and space to understand Fang Xi's point that Fang Xi obviously has a lot of ideas about games and is now a very successful game producer, but Fang Xi is not very enthusiastic about playing games. Jun Yi described Fang Xi's demeanor in this way:

"Every time Mr. Fang sees me playing games or praising a certain game, I always feel like he is looking at a baboon."

Of course, Fang Xi couldn't tell them about the golden decade of the game industry he experienced in his previous life. Under the bombardment of various masterpieces in that golden decade, Fang Xi faced the world's game industry very peacefully. , in a word: what you think is fun, I will only find it boring.

Even the "Legendary World" that Fang Xi handed over to Ading to make "Legend" and "Darkness" together, Fang Xi put it down after playing for an afternoon and never opened it again, because although the creativity and The setting is interesting, but in the final analysis, it is still an old game for Fang Xi, and the novelty has passed and he is no longer interested.

So a paradoxical legend began to circulate inside Hongyi Games: It is said that the degree of interest of Boss Fang is directly proportional to the popularity of a game after it is launched! According to the statistics of good people, Boss Fang stopped playing for two hours after "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" was officially launched. After "Three Kingdoms Killing" was officially launched, I only saw Boss Fang and Lu Jian playing with the physical version. The recent "Legendary World" refreshed Boss Fang's game time to an astonishing four hours.

As a result, for now, "Legendary World" is booming, "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" is stable, and "Three Kingdoms" is also making steady progress. People from the same company also heard that Ading's follow-up update of "Legendary World" has been very advanced. The current online version is the official version 1.0. It is said that the content of version 6.0 has been prepared internally, and it has been obtained by the party. Total sure.

For Fang Xi, the proportion of "Legend" in the current "Legendary World" is still very high. With the update of subsequent versions, the Paladin, Barbarian, Amazon, Necromancer and other occupations in "Darkness" He will join this world step by step. At that time, the release of each new profession may once again create a new myth of flowing water. That is to say, "Legendary World" is basically safe, and he can concentrate on preparing his first masterpiece in the true sense. !

After returning from Sri Lanka, the "Left 4 Dead" team officially started, and it was not until June that the basic stage of the game was set up - Fang Xi and his staff worked hard to create a dilapidated city with the amazing engine, Fang Xi named it Raccoon City.

This raccoon city is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. It is also a tourist attraction, with complete industries and dense population. It is an excellent place for zombie virus outbreaks. It is especially suitable for nuclear bomb washing in the future. After washing the land, waste can be reused to make The monster's lair, Fang Xi can't wait to know how the players are running happily in it.

After the map is ready, it will be handed over to a team of ten people to optimize it slowly. They are responsible for adding to the scene in the game such as old newspapers, street lights that turn on and off, dense scrapped cars on the highway, blood stains outside the buildings, etc. , working hard to make this city dilapidated, it really looks like a disaster, that is to say, they want to "make the city old", this is not a small project, but fortunately, the release of the game still needs to be done. For a long time, they have plenty of time to polish slowly.

But now the focus of work will be shifted to the protagonist of this game, the zombie.

If you want to talk about the greatest video game invention at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, Fang Xi will definitely vote for zombies.

The first movie about zombies was Night of the Living Dead in 1968, and the game was Resident Evil known to the public in 1996. Until Fang Xi traveled through time, some people estimated that the value of the zombie IP alone was at least more than 70 billion US dollars , Zombies are kind and cute,

Creations that are not cute, handsome, etc. have unexpectedly become the only popular element.

When Fang Xi and the team members explained the existence of zombies, they encountered a little obstacle:

Tong Bin: "Since this creature is dead, why does it still have hearing and smell? Don't the nasal mucosal nerves and ear nerves die?"

Fang Xi explained patiently: "In terms of setting, they still have residual bioelectricity on their bodies, which will give them some animal-like instincts."

Lu Qiu: "If zombies are dead, why do they eat living people? And if the stomach function still exists, why don't they devour their own kind?"

Fang Xi was startled, Lu Qiu, this girl is not from his group, is she: "Why did you come here... Forget it, we will settle the score later, it is still understandable animal instinct, to chase fresh flesh and blood."

All the team members: "Oh~ Biological instinct explains everything, we understand."

Fang Xi couldn't laugh or cry: You guys know P. But he also knows that this is everyone's little complaint, everyone is an adult and knows that there is no need to be serious in the virtual world, it is silly.

"So, today I prepared a gift for everyone to help you better remember the protagonist of our game." Fang Xi smiled sinisterly.

All team members: "?"

After a burst of applause like a signal, the door of the meeting room opened from the outside. The first thing Lu Qiu saw was a pair of pale hands with stone spots, and then he saw clearly the owner of the hands. His clothes were torn and bloodstained, and his lower abdomen was exposed. , there is a huge wound, and the flesh and blood that have been turned upside down can still be seen, and there is still bright red blood on the mouth of the pale face...  

Lu Qiu screamed and then fell backwards. Fang Xi hurriedly supported her, seeing her trembling and unable to utter a complete sentence, Fang Xi hurriedly comforted: "It's all fake, it's all fake. It's an actor."

The rest of the people were not much better, but fortunately, the actors did not make any further moves. Many people also thought of the theme of zombies in this meeting, and they also guessed what was going on.

Facing the people's complaints, Fang Xi remained calm. After helping Lu Qiu to stand up, he ignored Lu Qiu's resentful eyes. Everyone present was frightened by Fang Xi, but Fang Xi said that there are too many lice and it doesn't itch. , I don’t worry about debts, I don’t mind being stared at twice, and said righteously:

"So in order to deepen your understanding and thoughts on the role, I specially hired Mr. Yu Feng, the actor of this zombie, with a lot of money. Next, Mr. Yu Feng will show you the unique movements of the two zombies we have communicated with. Think carefully here, don't disappoint Teacher Yu's performance."

Yu Feng, who was still standing at the door, also pulled out a smile, which made the wound on his face even more hideous. Some timid girls present did not dare to look at it. They knew it was fake, but it really didn't affect their fear.

Leaving the team members and zombie teacher Yu in the conference room to communicate, Fang Xi closed the door behind him, looking at Lu Qiu who came out with him, Fang Xi was a little puzzled: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Qiu rolled his eyes: "I'm a product manager. Of course, I came to you because of the recent game version. The recent data shows that the version of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" is a bit lagging. If this continues to activate players It will be snatched up by "Legend", I came to discuss this matter, I came to see you were busy and wanted to listen in, but I came across such a... thing."

Fang Xi shrugged: "Come to my office, I'll give you a cup of coffee to suppress your shock, come in and talk slowly."
