Number One Game Designer

In Fang Xi's own office, Fang Xi and Lu Tao were sitting opposite each other and chatting.

The test was over, Fang Xi saw that the demo was done well, and considering that the team codenamed moba had been actively working overtime recently, Fang Xi forced them to take half a day off, and let out the word: You can go anywhere, but If you dare to sit in the office, break your legs to serve!

And Lu Tao followed Fang Xi to the president's office, in his words, "ask for a cup of tea."

After Niu drank a large cup of tea, Lu Tao collapsed on the sofa behind him. If a passer-by from his previous life would call him "Uncle Ge's exclusive lying position!"

"According to our current speed, will this code name moba be launched before the end of the year?" Lu Tao couldn't wait.

Use the tea lid to carefully wipe off the foam on the surface of the tea, and after taking a sip, Fang Xi shook his head:

"It's hard to say based on your current speed. There are only two heroes now. If it is officially launched, the matchmaking is okay. If the ladder cannot be repeated, ten heroes will be needed in a game. If there are too few, players will have no choice at all. Then give It’s a bad experience for people.”

"Ladder? Oh, rank mode, this translated name is quite vivid." Lu Tao agreed, "But if the number of heroes is too fast..."

"Moreover." Fang Xi shook his head, "Besides modeling and skills, a hero also needs personal stories, illustrations, and dubbing. This is a complete hero. And, if a hero is popular later, Exclusive MVs, even singles and even personal comics are all needed."

Lu Tao was a little stunned. He thought that since the map was made, it would be enough to fill in the heroes slowly in the future, but so many more are needed?

"Then, in terms of the number of heroes in this game, I expect at least 130 to achieve the ideal state."

"so much?"

"Just count it out." Fang Xi also slumped behind him, completely relaxed. "It cannot be repeated in the ladder. There are only ten heroes. After each type of hero is banned, there must be at least ten choices to be considered free. Besides, the ladder is essentially a more utilitarian game mode. In the future, even if we don’t officially count the winning percentage, there will still be third-party websites to rate hero strength, and in this case, the only option is to dilute players by numbers.”

"So in total, almost one hundred heroes are considered perfect, and one hundred and thirty are considered ideal."

"Besides, the appearance design of a hundred heroes also needs a unified illustration style... Forget it, it's useless to tell you this, I'll go back to Qian Shasha." Halfway through the speech, Fang Xi stopped immediately. mouth.

Lu Tao ate a big whale before he realized that a complete moba game requires so many things. In such a comparison, the plan is only the tip of the iceberg.

"But this can't be done in a short while." Fang Xi quickly comforted Lu Tao when he saw Lu Tao's sudden mourning, "So I first estimated that more than 30 hero games will be online, and then I will update them slowly. Yes, adding a new hero every month can also keep the game alive and give players a sense of freshness.”

As far as Fang Xi's own impression is concerned, the most successful League of Legends in the previous life basically guaranteed that there will be either new heroes online or news of new heroes every month from the server opening to before crossing. New version and new adjustments.

These are all to keep the players fresh. To balance this thing, it is right to maintain a dynamic environment. Otherwise, if the so-called absolute balance is really achieved, the designer will lose his job, and the game will become a hit? This kind of situation must be followed by the rigidity of the environment, and then all possible versions of the version will be explored by the players, and then the pit will be abandoned.

"I see. Mr. Fang has good tea, so I'd better go to work overtime."

"It's hard to give you half a day off, don't you take a good rest?"

Lu Tao smiled: "I am more concerned about the future of 'code-named moba',

Now that there are more heroes, online players will have more choices, right? "

Fang Xi nodded: "Okay, then pay attention to your body."

In a sense, Lu Tao is quite reassuring, and he is also a relatively pure gamer.

He was the first to jump ship from the top-ranked Yinling Game in Haifang City to his own small sampan called Hongyi Game. What he liked was that Boss Fang had money in his hands at the time and wanted to transform into a PC. Games, and the only thing Lu Tao cares about is to play games happily. The two hit it off and share the same goal.

So although some of Lu Tao's former friends laughed at him behind his back for "the more he lived, the more he went back", but Lu Tao never cared about these things. Like this is the best beauty, not to mention that this game is still a brand new genre now, and it already has all the factors to explode, I just need to keep improving it and perfecting it, and finally launch it to lead the trend!

After Lu Tao left, Fang Xi also sighed and put down the teacup in his hand.

The more he develops, the more Fang Xi finds that the manpower is not enough and the level is not good enough. Among them, Qian Shasha's group of painters are obviously unable to keep up.

The first group of people were recruited to draw cute Japanese girls. As a result, the company transformed and no longer needed these types of illustrations. Half of these people were unemployed. Fortunately, the foundation is still there. The previous page game I can also produce a lot of art materials. As a result, I couldn’t keep up with "Three Kingdoms". At present, only a few female generals in "Three Kingdoms" are drawn by myself, and most of the others are drawn by well-known artists. .

Not to mention the game code-named moba this time, there is no hope at all. Although the company's internal page game re-learning training class, but the intentions have been self-study long ago and have successfully transformed, waiting for this cram school Fang Fang Xi thought it was hopeless.

Opening Weibo, Fang Xi found one of the painters he followed @朱颜无血, who was also an acquaintance who had collaborated with the Three Kingdoms Killer before.

"Is there a painter to recommend? Someone who can be a working dog."

@朱颜无血: "Wow, teacher Fang is good."

@朱颜无血: "There are painters, please go out for work and turn left, our painters would rather starve to death...."

Fang Xi calmed down: "The monthly salary is 20,000, and the original paintings that have passed the review are counted as performance, and there are also dividends at the end of the quarter and at the end of the year."

@朱颜无血: "Wow, woof, woof,"

Fang Xi raised his forehead: "Didn't you say you want to be an ambitious independent painter?"

@朱颜无血: "These are not worth mentioning in front of a monthly salary of 20,000, and there are bonuses."

"Then why did you refuse when I offered you?"

@朱颜无血: "To tell you the truth, what you said at the time was too false. You were talking about the future. You slapped me for 20,000 yuan, and I immediately beat your leg."

Fang Xi: "........ Isn't the price of your commercial works quite high?"

@朱颜无血: "High is high, but it's really difficult to draw, and it doesn't happen every day. It's not uncommon for a month to go without anything."

Fang Xi: "... Let's do it, come to the company for an interview next week."

@朱颜无血: "Okay, Dad."

Fang Xi raised his forehead again: Brother dei, be normal, I'm afraid!
