Number One Game Designer

The re-expansion of the game has always been a very important part of the game. From the perspective of maintaining freshness, DLC, mods, sequels, etc. are all similar things. Some game producers discovered it at the earliest. Update and adjustment, then the official may not be exhausted, and if the game revenue decreases in the later stage, should you withdraw or not cancel the many planning operations you have arranged for this game? If it is withdrawn, it will affect word of mouth, if it is not withdrawn, it will be money.

So the most dazzling thing in the war3 era appeared, it is called "war3 map editor." This official map editor is also recognized as one of the most successful map editors in history. It can be called outstanding, but this editor has managed to completely revitalize war3's map inventory, making it one of the greatest games.

This thing is essentially similar to a game engine, but its functions are very, very simple, to the point of being a fool. Even a newcomer with zero foundation can learn how to use it and make a game map by exploring it by himself.

This software allows players to be their own planning and operations, not satisfied with the map? Change it yourself, have a good idea? do it yourself! Want to play games with your friends according to your own ideas? The editor gives it to you, you do it!

War3 official maps may only have about a hundred maps, but the maps created by players themselves, according to incomplete statistics, there are 1300 maps in 2017 alone, this is already past the golden age of war3, and only some big hands are counted If every map is counted, even the official is not clear, once a good person went to the war3 community to ask about this, and the designer's answer was "too many to count."

Fang Xi didn't want to reach this height. After all, the themes of the game are different, but he wanted to try. If he gave the player the brush of the editor, what kind of scenery can the player draw?

The R\u0026D department of Fang Xi’s idea is still very fast in implementing it. At first, they were amazed at Fang Xi’s various whimsical ideas, and then they became numb. If it rains, you will see it every time you see it, and you will feel that it is normal, "Is there any doubt that our boss is so powerful?" "No."

However, this is obviously not something that can be completed in a short while, but at least the whole department will be busy again, and the work will have a goal again.

………………

In mid-September, Fang Xi flew to Haifang City again, and met Chen Yu who came to pick him up at the airport.

Fang Xi took off his coat, Beiyang City had already begun to feel cool, and Haifang City was still in midsummer, and Boss Fang, who came wearing a coat, was extremely hot.

"Where are Xiaolan and Lu Wanqi?" Fang Xi asked, Chen Yu is also the actual person in charge here, so it's not appropriate for him to pick up the plane.

"Haifang City has a lot of responsibility for the situation here. They are still busy with some things that are docked with Beiyang and their own work. Now the personnel in Haifang City have not been completely fixed, and there are many people mixed with fish and dragons. Every day There are seven or eight interviews, and two people are also working in shifts."

"Thank you for your hard work." Fang Xi sighed.

"If you know how hard it is, remember to give me a raise." The cold Chen Yu rarely made a joke.

Fang Xi laughed: "Not only a salary increase, but also a bonus, let's go, let's meet the leading actor Zhao Jiamo."

Compared with two months ago, Zhao Jiamo was a little thinner, because considering the problem of image collection, Fang Xi directly gave him the body standard of the male protagonist in the game, strong and healthy, but a little malnourished and thin.

So Zhao Jiamo has been controlling his diet recently, and now he looks like he doesn't have enough to eat every day, but it adds some charm. Fang Xi's eyes brightened: "It would be great if the eyes could be more fierce."

Zhao Jiamo was not in a hurry to entertain after hearing the words, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and made an expression: Is that so?

Fang Xi shook his head: "It's too exaggerated,

The protagonist Zhou lives in a dangerous city, the city is full of zombies, and his daughter was snatched away, his viciousness is for this world, because for him this world is too ruthless, so he suffers , but there is still a glimmer of hope, fierceness is his most common expression for this world. "

Hearing Fang Xi's long words, Chen Yu looked sideways: "The boss is worthy of being the boss. What he told us at the beginning was a story about a father's daughter who was kidnapped and sold by human traffickers, and then went to kill her family. become so subtle."

Zhao Jiamo also showed his spirituality like Fang Xi. This time he thought for a while, and then Chen Yu next to him felt the difference when he opened his eyes.

In the past, Zhao Jiamo was gentle and courteous, with a bit of a gentleman's demeanor. This time, when Chen Yu opened his eyes, the first thing he read was disgust, not only for himself, but for everyone and everything. Then the eyebrows frowned at a very subtle angle, and then stretched out.

Then this atmosphere was wiped out by Fang Xi clapping his hands: "This is what I want, Old Zhao, brother Zhao, you will definitely be famous in the future!"

Zhao Jiamo couldn't laugh or cry, the feeling he found just now disappeared without a trace, he shook his head and didn't say anything, anyway, he had already found this state and didn't panic.

"It doesn't matter whether I'm famous or not. I'm also working part-time now, so I just want to change my daughter's environment to a better place."

Fang Xi was thoughtful. Before, he thought Zhao Jiamo was from the local area, but it turned out that he was from southern Guangdong, and it was not easy for anyone to contact him as a single father.

Thinking of this, Fang Xi patted Zhao Jiamo on the shoulder, and sat next to Zhao Jiamo:

"Brother, let's start filming tomorrow. This is a storyboard. You can watch it first."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xi poured himself a drink happily.

Zhao Jiamo, on the other hand, flipped through the manuscript paper in front of him, and didn't know what expression to make after flipping through it.

"President Fang, this storyboard..."

"What?" Fang Xi was curious. "Can't you understand? Impossible."

"No..." Zhao Jiamo shook his head: "It's just... the first time I saw it, it was a bit shocking."

Chen Yu next to him raised his head curiously and took a look.

On the white manuscript paper, a scene was drawn, but what caught Chen Yu off guard was that this scene was more like a cartoon of a stickman.

Yes, the body and limbs of the person on the storyboard are just a thick black line, and the head is a circle, and there are different letters in the circle to indicate the identity of the character.

For example, the protagonist Zhou is a circle with a Z in it, and his daughter Lin is a circle. There is an L inside.

Fang Xi said calmly: "Oh, this, the storyboard is actually an indicator. Let me ask you, do you understand this storyboard?"

Zhao Jiamo nodded, no one can understand the stickman!

Fang Xi nodded with satisfaction: "Then it's over. If you can understand it, it means that there is no problem with this storyboard."

Zhao Jiamo was dumbfounded.
