The Creator of the Second Dimension

"Wow, you will be able to play the tough guy in June this year."

Wang Shiya's excited voice came from the voice, and Wang Ze also glanced at the live broadcast on the other screen.

Since the English version of "Monster Hunter" is called "Monster.Hunter", it is easy to pronounce "Brave Man" when you read it together. Therefore, some players also call this game "Brave Man". became a common name.

Wang Ze’s computer has two screens, which are probably the standard equipment for programmers. One is used for watching videos, playing games and other entertainment, and connected to the game console by the way, and the other is used for normal things, such as chatting and browsing the web.

Of course, one of Wang Ze's screens is currently broadcasting the live broadcast of the Independent Game Awards, while the other screen is processing code.

These codes are not the blessings of Wang Ze's company, but the underlying codes of the games he independently produced.

At first glance, these codes are very messy, and there is no so-called concise and intuitive feeling at all, but this is already the result of Wang Ze's best efforts to optimize.

After the actual development, Wang Ze discovered that game production is difficult, especially if everything is not properly planned at the beginning, the consequences will be very dire.

For example, this slightly messy piece of code is because Wang Ze misestimated the magnitude of the value at the beginning, resulting in data overflow, so he hurriedly repaired it, and finally eliminated the last BUG.

After returning from his hometown, Wang Ze has been immersed in the production of games during his vacation.

He used the free and public art materials of the engine, coupled with his own soul painting, and finally solved the problem of art.

As for the copywriting, Wang Ze has put all his inspirations and ideas from the past few years into it. Although the text may not be well written, it still outlines the framework of the whole story.

Of course, the biggest headache for Wang Ze now is the program.

After he came back from home, he suddenly had some inspiration. Originally, at this point in time, he should not make too many deletions and changes to the game, but Wang Ze just had an urge to do so.

Impulsive, modify the crematorium.

The amount of work has suddenly increased by at least 30%, so that Wang Ze was also busy changing the code during the time he was speaking with Wang Shiya.

Wang Shiya didn't know if she was aware of Wang Ze's busyness, so she chatted briefly and didn't bother him anymore. The two people's voices didn't hang up, only Wang Ze's typing on the keyboard was intertwined with Wang Shiya's low-pitched humming from time to time.

She should be listening to a song, Wang Ze thought, Wang Shiya's humming melody didn't sound like a popular song, but rather classical music. In this kind of shallow singing, Wang Ze felt very concentrated.

Until Wang Shiya left to go out for dinner with her family, the two remained in such a state.

Hearing the other party hang up the voice, Wang Ze focused on typing the code for another hour, and finally stretched himself, indicating that the work had come to an end.

Originally, he wanted to make this martial arts game like "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" many years ago. Players can freely choose characters and develop types freely. They may end their journey in the rivers and lakes due to some accidental and random reasons. This kind of game experience is not good.

Therefore, Wang Ze decided to join a reincarnation system.

Originally, in the script setting, the protagonist set foot on the rivers and lakes for revenge, and needed to conquer several special sword mounds to face the final boss.

Now, Wang Ze allows the protagonist to gain the experience of reincarnation. When a protagonist dies, players can choose someone next to the protagonist to inherit and continue the journey of the game.

In this way, life is endless, reincarnation is endless, and the feeling that the game cannot be ended without clearing the final boss can better reflect the protagonist's struggle and sinking under the fate.

Similarly, in terms of gameplay, if the player is lucky and chooses the right operation, then of course they can defeat the old enemy in one lifetime.

But if the player is not lucky enough, or dies due to an operation error, then this inheritance will come to the player's companion and continue to fight against the old enemy. Depending on the game method, it may even be reincarnated more than a dozen times. Haven't defeated the final boss yet.

Wang Ze felt that this setting combined the gameplay and the plot, and effectively reduced the frustration, so he was building this system during this period.

Fortunately, although this idea is unique, it is not difficult to implement, it is just the increase or decrease of character attributes.

According to the current development progress, Wang Ze will be able to release the first beta test version in May. Due to the existence of the green light system on the steam platform, Wang Ze can release the beta version while continuing to improve, which can be regarded as taking out his semi-finished product Let's see if it's fun or not.

Although he has to go to work again in two days, Wang Ze doesn't feel tired looking at his own works on the screen.

In March, the approach of spring is also accompanied by the end of "White Box", and the twenty-third episode was broadcast as scheduled.

In the twenty-second episode, the producer received contact from the original author. The original author stated that he could not accept the original ending of the animation and asked to change the ending. But at this time, most of the production has come to an end. If it cannot be shortened Come up with an ending plan in time, then the last episode will undoubtedly be dove, and it will be a huge blow to Fantastic Animation.

For this reason, the director directly contacted the original author, and made an appointment to meet in the editorial building to discuss the ending of the animation face to face.

Here, "White Box" uses a method of expression that is close to banter.

Wearing a denim jacket and a cowboy hat, the director walked into the editorial building, defeated the blocking editors in a fighting game-like way, and finally came to the top floor of the building to meet the original author.

Perhaps in the real industry, when encountering such a thing, there is really nothing to do.

The communication between the director and the author is not so gunpowder. The original author interpreted his own ideas. The several characters are not opposed to each other, but symbols of the author's own different personalities. Therefore, the death of the main character is necessary.

But the director thought that such an ending was too cruel, so he proposed to give the character who is going to get the essentials a younger sister. Although she died, hope was passed on through the younger sister. This ending is more positive.

In the end, the original author agreed to the director's proposal, and everyone worked together to complete the final episode.

In the recording studio, Xiaokui also accidentally saw her friend Shizuka. She had participated in the audition for the heroine, but she still failed. I saw Xiaokui.

Xiaokui just opened her mouth slightly, watching Shizuka come to the recording room next door in disbelief, speaking lines with calm and natural acting skills.

"Now, I am one step closer to my dream."

She smiled and said.

Behind him, Xiao Kui, who saw her friend going through difficulties and finally being able to stand in front of the stage, couldn't help but burst into tears. She didn't want others to see her appearance at the moment, so she covered her face with the script.

"Are you one step closer to your dream?"

After watching this episode of "White Box", Wang Ze was quite emotional.

He turned his head and looked at his code. The main part was almost completed, and the final debugging stage was left.

"Can my dream come true?"
