Super Game Empire

The process of the documentary was accelerated, and Zhang Guoqiang finally made a plan for "Diablo 2" under the big framework half a month later. After Yang Yun's approval, "Diablo 2" was finally officially launched.

Longteng Company runs like a precision machine, and a capable team was quickly formed, senior screenwriters entered the venue, and the literary creation team consisted of six Chinese and foreign employees, working together to create.

Game planner Yang Yun and Marcos divided the whole story into five major sections. Six senior screenwriters revised the manuscript of 300,000 words and were repeatedly called back by Yang Yun to revise it. The writing of the background story outline cost.

It took three months to finalize the draft.

While the screenwriters were busy, programmers also started working. They built the game framework in their planning schemes. This game based on "Dark 1" only requires few changes.

Programmers and artists discuss interface beautification work every day. In addition to cooperating with programmers to create interfaces, artists also have to match hundreds of items in Diablo 2 for image matching.

In addition, there is another special position. They are pure literary editors, who are responsible for the naming of npc characters in games and background stories and equipment naming. They are the writers of small branch story that do not affect the main plot. Sometimes he also wants to

He also wrote some copywriting on the wall of the maze like a god. He also completed some CG cutscene dialogues.

There are also database administrators, network architects, 3D modelers, multi-language translations. Voice actors and dubbers, game sound effects artists, game music producers. CG animation producers, program testers, marketing promoters, etc.

Related positions appear in documentaries one after another.

Time flies, and three years later, "Diablo 2" is finally done and enters the final testing stage. At this time, the publicity department takes action, the official website forum manager. The copyright lawyer is busy, and the marketing department takes over the promotion task of the entire game.

, various professional game exhibitions, large and small cosplay performances, design and production of various game figures, inspection of professional game magazines, senior industry authoritative experts and player evaluations, etc.

This is the most tedious stage. The things to be done are too complicated. In order to achieve the best promotion effect, almost every detail is not missed. As long as there is a chance, the game promotion will keep up, even if the game has been launched and released, it will start to be sold.

Now, players have started to feedback, and Longteng, a precision-operating machine, still has not stopped.

The tests, bug modifications, patch production, and expansion pack production are still behind. Zhang Guoqiang's Diablo team still cannot relax.

But as the commander of the first army, Yang Yun had pointed his command knife in other directions. One day, he called Zhang Guoqiang and threw a thick notepad in front of him, with the words "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" written on it.

A few big words.

"Although General Manager Zhang has not only focused on the game "Diablo 2" in the past three years, and has also directed the development of many other online and stand-alone games, he has never really let go of this game in his mind.

, he has always been trembling. "Diablo 2" has been sharpening his sword for three years and has responded very well after the market was launched, which made him relieve his biggest worry and he finally could relax for a few days. But he had just had two days off

, He received another order from Mr. Yang, that Longteng's new game "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" will soon be launched, and Mr. Zhang will start this new round of cycle."

The documentary ended here, and the one-hour explanation was just a detailed explanation of the game production. There were not many details about the game after it was launched.

But this is enough. It successfully tells people that a game requires more than 20 different positions. The game is not just a programmer's business, it also has a large number of artistic creators who have devoted their efforts to it, text,

Images, music, and so many professions are serving games.

Nearly a thousand teachers, students and parents were shocked by the audience. Many people were reflecting on themselves. Did they say that they had been opposing games? Is their vision a little narrow-minded and their ideas a little paranoid?

The senior high school students were even more excited. Only then did they realize that they didn’t have to apply for the computer department if they wanted to enter the game industry. In fact, there were also Chinese, history, small languages, law, marketing and other majors to choose from.

.

In fact, they also know that in the second half of the documentary, there are too many physical industries related to games after the game is launched, such as the animation film and television companies, comic publishing houses and magazines, and the game peripheral processing industry toy factories.

The scale of this is so large that it is completely unaware of, it is a huge interest group involving millions of practitioners.

It's no wonder that game companies can drive a huge industrial chain. Software alone can drive dozens of small industries around it. What if Longteng's TV game console is added? That's it with CPU and GPU,

In the computer hardware industry such as memory sticks, hard disks, how much should this be?

6% gpd is definitely not a lie. A small CD weighing no more than 15 grams and an area of ​​no more than 110 square centimeters actually involves so many industry interests, which shocks every viewer who has watched this documentary.

It's right.

"I'm so grateful for your knowledge! I realized that it took so many people to make a game, and it took so long to complete it!"

"So you see, there are dozens of foreigners who have hired for development, programmers, artists, screenwriters and testers. The salary alone may be paid tens of millions every year, right? It took three years to create a "

Diablo 2, the cost is tens of millions, so it’s just that. No wonder it’s so expensive! But to be honest, this game is really well made and it’s worth it.”

"It seems that the child should have a certain application direction for the college entrance examination next year. He doesn't have to study in the computer department. In fact, it can be based on his preferences and advantages. My daughter likes to draw, so she can learn computer drawing and so on.

Can."

"Yes, my son is a liberal arts student, and he has the opportunity to join a game company after studying screenwriter. Now the treatment of game companies is quite good, and they are all calculated based on annual salary."

"Sister Yang, have you finally figured it out? I said that your Xiaojun's articles are well written and the story is well written. It will definitely be the material of a writer in the future. You don't believe it yet! I have heard of it, that one who writes science fiction.

The writer Liu Cixing wrote several game novels in Longteng, and the royalties are several million yuan each year! Even for other game companies, many screenwriters have annual salary of over 40,000 yuan!”

"Oh, it's all my fault, my fault, I shouldn't stop you! Xiaojun, you have to come on, don't embarrass my mom..."

"I got it, mom..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After the documentary was finished, everyone started to talk enthusiastically. The whole auditorium was very lively, and the students gathered together in three or two, discussing happily, "You go to learn screenwriter, I go to learn computer, he goes to learn marketing, wait."

After graduation, I created a game production company and made a big splash.

Grade director Yang Jinhai walked onto the stage and held the microphone and said, "Next, the students leave the venue one by one, return to the classrooms of each class, and continue to study. Parents stay for the time being, we have specific things to discuss."

After the students left one after another, leaving only the parents, Yang Jinhai continued: "Dear parents, the school actually asked everyone to watch this documentary together, not to persuade everyone to choose the game industry. We are all adults, thinking about problems

Children are more profound. Life is not composed of ideals and fantasies, but more stressful. Therefore, when we consider our children's future opportunities, we need to be more rational.

It is true that the game industry is an industry with great development potential, but not every child is suitable for this path. Today we chose everyone to enjoy this documentary together to tell everyone that children’s interests and hobbies are diverse.

A writer can always follow the path of literary creation, or choose to write a screenwriter for games, or a musician can always produce records, or choose to make soundtracks for games. In fact, there are multiple ways to choose from each major.

Nowadays, the phenomenon of blindly following the crowd and choosing computer science and technology majors is particularly serious. Only by truly understanding what segments there are in the computer industry can we make the most correct choices for children's college entrance examinations more scientifically and in a more in line with the

Choose! This is also the main purpose of gathering everyone today!”

"Well said!"

"We understand the good intentions of the school!"

"Thank you for watching this documentary organized by the school. After we go back, we will definitely have a detailed discussion with the children so that they can establish a correct outlook on life and values!"

Applause thunderously, parents thank the school for their advice, and thank the excellent documentary producer Jingcheng TV Station from afar. They still felt that it was not enough to explain it in just one hour. In the trailer, they saw more content in the next issue and the game.

They are more interested in the surrounding industries outside of production, because as the school said, not all children are suitable for entering the game programming industry.

Quancheng No. 2 Middle School is not the only school that organizes parents to watch together. The Shandong Provincial Department of Education sent administrative orders to every campus, and almost all the documentary contents were seen in the entire Shandong Province.

However, there are not many promotions in the province like Shandong Province. There are some foreign language schools, universities and other provincial and national key points, and they are unwilling to hold such activities.

In any case, the documentary broadcast at 7:30 pm on December 1st still caused high positive comments in China. (To be continued...)
