Super Game Empire

1C's former R&D department head Tuzorev, former Degao Game Software Company Xiao Qing, deputy director of the technical department of Fengyun Game Software Company, Pitt, founder of the former Bullfrog Company, and Yang Yun and Translator, together with six

Individuals sit around a small conference room.

This is a core member of the project team carefully selected by Yang Yun, and he took the initiative to introduce it to everyone.

"Hu Jun, who has done strategic training at Longteng headquarters, served as the technical director of Japan Fengyun Game Software Company, and has successfully completed the MD transplantation task of the three versions of Final Fantasy 123 with 200 people. I appointed him as the R&D center of Longteng France Branch

The person in charge.”

"Peter, the founder of Bullfrog Company and a talented game designer, is responsible for leading the Bullfrog team."

"Tuzorev, the founder of 1C Games and a senior game designer, is responsible for leading the 1C team."

"Xiao Qing, the head of the Degao Game Project Team, is a powerful general who was transferred from Longteng headquarters. You can learn from these seniors!"

Everyone greeted each other and gave a smile to their colleagues who were likely to have worked with for many years.

In addition to them, each team has drawn several people, with more than 20 people together. Under Hu Jun's coordination, we jointly made this game that Yang Yun values ​​very much.

Yang Yun spread out a plan and said, "Our Longteng's 1992 plan list has an MD platform game called "Dune 2". It's almost June now, and almost half of the year has passed.

But we have never started this task, for many reasons, so I won’t say much about it here.”

The problem with the MD host has caused the project to be delayed again and again, which makes Yang Yun really powerless. He is not a god, and there are many things that cannot be handled.

"We are now mainly changing to PC research and development. In this regard, you are all experts in PC game production. I believe that with everyone's cooperation, this real-time strategy game will definitely be perfectly produced."

Yang Yun signaled Xiao Qing to take a bag of drawings beside the table, take out a rolled scroll from it, put it on the table and spread it out, waved to them to come and watch.

"This is the map of the planet Patis. Well, the story takes place in the world of our MD game "Saroman Snake". Liu has set up the specific resources of this planet for us. If you are interested, you can check this part of the information.

, I won't explain it much here. To put it simply, it is a local native with countless uncivilized resources, poor resources and harsh environment, but it is full of some resource that is quite useful to humans."

"Our story is just like many science fiction novels and science fiction movies. It's very old-fashioned. Hundreds of years later, humans exploring space accidentally discovered this mysterious planet. After preliminary surveys, explorers were surprised to find that Patis

The planet contains an ore called Frore, which is bright in color and colorful. It is very beautiful, like a flower."

"After refining this Frore ore was found to be able to purify it into a crystal with mysterious power because it was first discovered by researcher Kedalin, so the purifier was named Kedalin Crystal."

"In order to obtain this mineral in large quantities, namely the Frore ore, humans sent several advance troops to land on the planet Patis, preparing to build an excavation base. We sent troops and excavation teams to move in for a long time."

"But the advance troops encountered resistance from local natives. Maybe you noticed when playing "Saroman Snake". Many of the little monsters in the game are tentacle monsters, sandworms, eight-legged crawling monsters, and even some other small monsters.

A giant monster that easily devours human aircraft."

"So our game mission is simple, the player controls a human force. He plunders resources on the planet Patis and fights against local natives, destroying these enemies and protecting our fragile mining forces from being swallowed by aliens."

After saying this, Yang Yun took a break and prepared to listen to his subordinates' opinions.

Because it was the first time to cooperate, the newly joined programmer Pitt disagreed and said in confusion: "Yang, this is really a monotonous story. In the interstellar journey a few hundred years later, I accidentally discovered that there was

Value resources, and then... endless killing... are you really sure this game can sell well?"

Yang Yun laughed: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have spent so much effort to gather all of you people, or even form a multinational force!"

Tuzorev frowned: "But it sounds very much like an independent adventure story, and the adventure squad is a common element in RPG games."

Hu Jun also agreed: "Mr. Yang, isn't this kind of plot too monotonous for the RPG type? I really didn't see where it is popular, its selling point is unknown!"

Yang Yun asked back: "Then do you have any good ideas? I want to hear your opinions, but the main theme cannot be changed. The purpose is to seize ore."

Everyone spoke, suggesting to lead multiple arms, and it is best to show future weapons that are common in science fiction movies, and adding a large number of side plots, etc.

Xiao Qing, who has not spoken, said: "I think, since it is a real-time strategy game, the focus should be on the word 'real'. Players need to constantly control this adventure team, adjust the combat methods, change tactics, and be at any time and at any time.

The NPC enemy battle appears.”

Yang Yun was delighted and asked calmly: "What else?"

Xiao Qing thought for a while and said, "Since there is a battle, there will be casualties. In order to keep the game going, the player must be given enough troops to supply them. The player controls an advance team, so there are only two ways to supply troops, one

They were reinforcements sent by humans later, one was the local indigenous people who had rebelled or rescued prisoners."

Yang Yun praised: "Yes, our game "The Expendables" is the idea. After saving Sergeant Brown, our jeep can put all-sided rockets. After saving Lieutenant Jones, we can even use the radio to summon it.

Bomber reinforcements. What else?”

Xiao Qing frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable: "In fact, there is a third way to replenish troops. If there is a technology for rapid conversion and use of ore energy in human technology, we can try to use local materials to support the war.

This is Grandpa Mao’s tactical thinking.”

Yang Yun clasped his hands and laughed: "What a fight to support the war! Then tell me, how should we support this battle?"

Xiao Qing couldn't figure it out now. He had never been exposed to such games and was not sure about the possible modes, so even with Yang Yun's gradual prompts, he still didn't have a complete impression.

On the contrary, Pitt, who was also prompted, woke up: "Recruiting military forces, producing weapons, and cultivating combat reserve forces. As long as we have enough resources, we can continuously generate various support troops!"

Sure enough, after still having experience in producing "God is Crazy", with Yang Yun's slight prompt, Pitt quickly figured out these things.

The core of this real-time strategy game is combat, endless battles. As long as there are enough resources, players can recruit countless believers and people, give them weapons, fight against the enemy, and change the whole world to believe in the player alone.

The same is true for "Dune 1993". After pushing the entire planet of Patis, these ores belong to players.

Yang Yun nodded, praised Xiao Qing, and then said to Pitt: "Peter, I must use the game engine of "God is Crazy" for this game, mainly the battle part and the recruitment part, your original belief in divine power.

The conversion with troops is a good example, and our "Dune 1993" can also be used in this way."

Pete shrugged: "The bullfrog is all yours, Boss..."

Everyone laughed, and Yang Yun didn't know what to say.

He wrote down the opinions put forward by several people in a large blank paper and added them one by one to the simple picture, so that everyone can see it at a glance. Even if they can't understand the Chinese annotations, they can easily understand what Yang Yun thought in his heart.

"Our Adventurer team needs to go through multiple tests and pass multiple levels before they can complete the mission of saving, destroying, or simply occupying the entire planet Patis. Here, I call this mode a single player gameplay

RPG mode. Xiao Qing, I ask you, what is the biggest difference between RPG and real-time strategy games?”

Xiao Qing asked tentatively: "Timeline?"

Yang Yun nodded: "It can be said that if the RPG game is not operated, the game will be stationary. The real-time strategy game is different. If the player does not operate, the NPC will automatically operate and will launch wave after wave of attacks on the player. So in order to survive, we

It is necessary that players keep moving forward and continue to complete the levels we set for them."

Hu Jun said: "This is actually the same as arcade games and TV console games, it's just the difference in the difficulty of the players."

That's right, just like that, StarCraft, Warcraft, and even Half-Life, Delta games will set up a single player mode, allowing players to play alone, understand the game's background story, and experience each one from easy to difficult

The power of the troops, master the methods to control them, and can arrange one or two simple games to let players experience the atmosphere of real-time strategy games.

This is a supplement to online battles or human-computer battles. It is very important and effective.

After Yang Yun introduced the characteristics of this single player mode, he continued: "In this regard, Hu Jun, you can arrange some people to take over. Liu and his editorial department will provide you with a detailed story process, just follow the map to follow the map."

Hu Jun smiled and nodded: "This kind of RPG part is my best part!"

Next is human-computer battles and network battles. This is the essence of real-time strategy games, fighting games!
