Super Game Empire

Pitt Molynovix of Bullfrog Company is a genius, his mind is almost full of endless creativity. Although Yang Yun thinks these ideas are all bad things, in the game world in 1991, it was already

Very amazing innovation.

Yang Yun and his friends sat on the sofa in the sunny lounge, talking happily.

Starting with God’s crazy, Yang Yun was very interested: “Peter, how did you think of the creativity of the world’s first ‘God’ game?”

Peter proudly introduced: "Pc games in the past were always influenced by family TV games, either fierce gunfighting games, or people like to play heroes, fight against villains through levels and rescue their princesses.

So I wondered whether a person's level-passing game was too simple? Can players control a group of people? So the prototype of God's game was born like this."

Alexei agreed and said: "And God has also innovated the game, using more advanced ideas than the orthodox SLG strategy game, rts, realtimestrategygame, innovation is in this realtime, not common in Japanese games.

The annoying turn-based!"

Pete turned sideways, took the initiative to shake hands with Alexei, and smiled and said, "Same feeling! I really hate turn-based games!"

Yang Yunxiao: "The slg game Three Kingdoms made by Longteng two years ago is also a common turn-based turn-based, but we quickly realized the flaws of this form. Now the game designed has added the storage of some heroes.

Force system, some people attack quickly. Then you don’t have to wait for the turn that it’s the player’s turn to control. You can instantly control other actions. Pete. When doing this God game, are you inspired by "Simulation City"

And influence?”

"SimCity" is another game released by EA. The developer is Maxis, a new company established around the same time as Bullfrog.

Yang Yun knew that simulation series such as Sims, Sims, etc. were all made by him. This is a professional game design company that builds simulation types.

Pete was a little disdainful: "To be precise, they were inspired and influenced by me. Okay, okay, actually they also have innovations, solved some problems that I did not consider, and changed from my God's perspective to the mayor

Players who like business are more fond of this specific position. I can only say that these young men have caught a good opportunity!”

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone laughed, and everyone could hear the sourness in Pitt's words. Of course, the pioneer of God's game is Bullfrog Company. The simulation city is borrowed and referenced to this idea. It is similar to God's crazy map restrictions and operations, and players also need it.

On a fixed area of ​​land, planning residential buildings and approving commercial and industrial land. Building highways, subways, harbors, airports, police and firefighting units is no different from a real city.

Players play the role of mayor and rack their brains for the urban construction plans under their command. How to make people live better, how to design a tax system, how to allocate public facilities expenditures, whether to build more high-rise buildings, or more hospitals, schools and stadiums, etc.

All of this is up to the players to decide for the people's livelihood construction.

Pete's sourness is here. After all, God and God are things that ordinary people cannot touch, and they exist more in the spiritual world of people. God is also crazy. This game requires people to be full of imagination.

Simulation cities are different. Everyone can see a barren land with their own eyes, which becomes a metropolis full of tall buildings under their own planning and design. This kind of excitement and satisfaction is indescribable.

Yang Yun said: "Peter, the simulation city is still too big. Players are all ordinary people, not real urban planners. The game has many uncertainties. Most people play very poorly, and urban construction is not that good.

Simple and casual decorations are enough. In addition, not everyone loves these steel and concrete buildings, and those damn tax settings are even more crazy!”

Everyone understood and laughed.

In capitalist society, the most annoying thing is probably the tax system. Many people can't figure out how to pay taxes in their lives. Why pay taxes like this? Few people know how to avoid taxes reasonably, so in Europe and the United States, they know how to teach.

An accountant who is a reasonable tax avoidance is a very popular profession.

"Yang, what do you mean is that we want to reduce the scope and narrow a city into a specific industry?" Pete thoughtfully, and while he said, dancing, as if he was painting sketches in the void, gradually in his eyes

An excited light emerged.

"Yes!" Yang Yun took a sip of coffee and reminded: "Shrink to the industries that have the most frequent contact with players in daily life. People may not go to the police station once in their lifetime, will not call 911 once in their lifetime, or even will not go there once in their lifetime.

There are only a few places where they absolutely have to go, and it is better if we do these professional themed games?"

"good! Thank you Yang! I have a new idea!" Pete laughed happily, put down his coffee, stood up and ran out of the lounge, definitely trying to write down his creative ideas.

Alexei was a little surprised. After Pitt disappeared, he asked nervously: "Yang, you can tell others about this kind of creativity casually. Are you not afraid of being stolen by him and making it yourself?"

Yang Yun laughed and said, "Theme games, simulation cities, what basis are these game engines built on? Of course, God is also crazy! Although we, Longteng, do not have such game engines, but you have, so what else am I worried about? Alie

KSai, it depends on you next. Whether you compete with bullfrogs or develop together depends on you!"

Alexei shrugged: "Peter is a talented designer, I don't want to go against him!"

Yang Yun nodded: "Then turn him into a colleague, I have the same tendency. Moreover, the biggest competitor of themes and simulation games is maxis. I believe that Pitt will have a headache about this company even more!"

Alexei smiled and said, "You are right. We ktt and he don't have any conflicts. The cooperation between the two companies is the best choice!"

While the two were joking, Peter rushed in again and almost knocked over the table in front of the three of them.

He grabbed a blank manuscript paper in his hand, removed the coffee cup, spread the manuscript paper on the table, quickly drew a large frame on it with a pen, and said excitedly: "Yang! You just said that you should choose an ordinary person to leave me.

The place to open, this idea is really great! Amusement park! Hospital! School! We have so much game content to do!”

Ahem...

Alexey quickly captured this message, slapped the sketch on the manuscript paper, blocking Pitt's writing, and said seriously: "We have too many game content to do, Pitt, that's what you said just now.

'We'?"

The word "we" was deliberately accentuated, and combined with a serious and playful expression, Alexei's inquiry made Pitt realize instantly.

"Oh! Sorry Alexei, yes, we, we need to have a good talk, right?" Pete put down his pen and sat on the soft sofa, looking at Yang Yun and Alexei with serious expressions.

, after ten seconds, I couldn't help it.

"Please two! Can't stop like this?" Pete couldn't help but grab his hair that was not much with both hands, looking depressed. It was like seeing a beautiful woman and she wanted to get on, but there were two big men standing.

Looking at him seriously, this feeling is really atrocity!

ha!

Yang Yun couldn't help laughing, and Alexei even smiled and said, "Hi, Pitt, if you scratch your hair, you will be really bald!"

The atmosphere suddenly eased a lot, and Pete breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to continue the topic, Yang Yun stopped him and said, "Peter, let's put the theme game series aside first. Why don't we talk about how the game "Trade of Thrones" is?

What did you think when designing it? I heard that it has been criticized, and players said they don’t want to continue playing at all?"

Pete was embarrassed: "I've been thinking about making a real war game, but both of them I designed were too alternative. Initially, few people took over. It was not until ea helped me promote and release that people began to appreciate me.

.Trade of Power is my second game of God, to be precise, it is an enhanced version of God Crazy 1, adding more soldiers to fight, attack towns, recruit soldiers, kill hostile sergeants, etc..”

Yang Yun added: "There are also maps in 3D mode, food collection and plunder, and city construction. Pete, don't you think that doing this is too messy and there is too much content?"

Pete sighed heavily: "This is also the most important reason why it has been criticized by players. It is really... too difficult to play..."

Alexei expressed the same feeling: "Even professional game makers like us think that the game is complicated, there are too many action commands, full of a large number of icon buttons, too many side plots, too many things to consider, and it makes people

A 3D map that is almost difficult to accept in a short period of time…”

Pete held his head and was very upset: "Oh my God, please stop talking, this is my shame! Do you know? We launched this game in less than 5 months, and time is too tight

, We have a serious shortage of manpower…”

The opportunity is here!

Yang Yun patted Pete on the shoulder and comforted him: "Peter, I can only say that your creativity is very interesting and one of the most professional real-time strategy games I have ever seen. Time is tight and there is insufficient staff, so it is all

There are many ways to solve external factors. Don’t worry about rights trading, I have some new ideas about real-time strategy games now. Are you willing to listen to it?” (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
