Video Game Designer

Entering July, all parts of the country have begun to enter the rhythm of summer vacation. The new work "God Catch" of the Thunder Studio under Wangyi has also begun overwhelming publicity. Anyway, there are all kinds of enthusiasm.

Among various promotional advertisements, it seems to have become a representative series of domestic games.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Chuhe. I go to the studio every day to learn about the progress of "Jianghu", and I go to Shanghai once a week to learn about the progress and plans of the follow-up projects of Longzu and TINGK studio.

During this period of time, Chuhe was relatively relaxed. At the same time, Chuhe also changed his place of residence. He moved from the original community to a villa area nearer to Qilin Park.

In the office, Chuhe sat in front of the computer, trying to play the beta version of "Jianghu". At least so far, no one in the studio has found any bugs, and the multiplayer mode has almost been perfected.

In general, the game is already a complete version and can be released at any time.

As for BUG, ​​there will definitely be some in the game. This is unavoidable for any game. We can only observe slowly after the game is launched, and then continue to update patches to fix BUG.

The current task of the project team, in addition to the follow-up processing of Jianghu, there is another important thing, that is, the development of MOD tools and the community.

According to Chuhe's initial vision, the game Jianghu will be an extremely open game, and the specially made MOD tools will allow MOD makers to make what they want to make.

Brand new plots, missions, props, and even maps. At the same time, on the official website, Chuhe and the others will also open up some art materials to MOD creators so that they can make MOD more conveniently.

For a game, the most common way to maintain its vitality is to keep the game updated, so that players can continue to feel fresh.

But how many games, especially stand-alone games, can continuously update the version and add new plot gameplay?

In this case, MOD creators are the best solution. Players use their own love to create new MOD gameplay based on the original game. Even these MODs alone can make a good game.

Just like Blizzard's Warcraft 3 Under the Frozen Throne, even though it has been more than ten years, many people are still addicted to it.

Of course, it is not indulging in the game's own battle gameplay at the beginning, but using its map editor to allow players to create maps independently.

MOD, for maintaining the vitality of the game, is obvious.

"Forget it, just let it be today, and give yourself a vacation." Looking at the document on the computer, Chu He stretched, turned off the computer, walked out of the office, and told everyone in the project team After one sound, he left the office building, went to the parking lot and drove the car out of the software park.

As a person, you can't be involved in work every day, you have to give yourself some time to relax.

And it is indeed a bit boring to be alone at home every day.

As for finding a girlfriend, it is basically not difficult with Chuhe's current conditions, but the key is that there is no one who is interested in it at all.

After driving for half an hour, Chu He came to Golden Eagle Plaza, took out the movie ticket from the ticket machine at the entrance of the theater, and bought a bucket of popcorn and Coke. Chu He sat beside him and waited for the movie to start.

Chuhe had been looking forward to a Hollywood sci-fi masterpiece just released, and happened to come to see it by himself today.

As for a person?

What does it matter?

"President Chu, are you going to watch the movie too?" While Chu He was waiting, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind Chu He.

Turning his head, he saw Ye Xun, who had taken a day off the day before yesterday, standing there with popcorn and Coke in his hands. He obviously didn't expect that Chuhe would come to the movie theater, and Ye Xun stood there with a bit of a reserved look.

"Yes, are you alone?" Chuhe nodded with a smile, and then asked casually.

"Ah? No, today is my girlfriend's birthday, and I came with her." Subconsciously Ye Xun replied.

Girlfriend, come together...

"Mr. Chu, didn't you bring your girlfriend along?" Ye Xun asked curiously.

People in the company really don't know much about Chuhe's private life, and in Ye Xun's opinion, such an excellent person as Chuhe should not have a girlfriend.

Young man, your road is narrowed!

Chu He changed the subject casually and took a deep look at Ye Xun.

Fortunately, this embarrassing meeting ended soon, because the movie that Chuhe wanted to watch started to check tickets, and what Ye Xun wanted to watch was not the same one as Chuhe.

Two hours later, Chu He stretched out and walked out of the movie theater, listening to several people discussing the plot of the movie just now, and Chu He, who came to Haidilao after receiving the ticket, sat on the chair next to him. Think about the plot just now.

From a certain point of view, the game is quite similar to the movie. From the movie that Chuhe watched just now, the main thing that this movie brings to the audience is the visual effect. All kinds of special effects obtained by burning money make the audience feel extremely shocked.

The plot is simple and clear, and it revolves around a typical Hollywood-style plot.

Is this a good movie? For the general audience, it's clearly a good movie.

And for players, what do they want?

It's simple, make them feel the fun of the game, make them feel the fun of the game.

Many stand-alone practitioners hope that players will support domestic production, play the domestic emotional card, and let players pay for their feelings and domestic production.

But players are just players, they are not engaged in the stand-alone industry, they have no obligation to pay, what they want is just a fun game, no matter whether the game is made by Chinese or foreign.

Although the game is known as the "ninth art", it is fundamentally a commodity.

In fact, the game has become a commodity, and domestic online game manufacturers have thoroughly implemented this concept.

If a stand-alone game manufacturer is considered an artist with a craftsman's heart, then an online game manufacturer is an absolute businessman.

As for users who spend money in online games, as long as you spend enough, you can become an existence above ten thousand people and enjoy all kinds of compliments in the game, just like an emperor.

Spending money to buy a sense of vanity is the value that online games provide.

He doesn't like the online game Chuhe, but it cannot be denied that its existence is reasonable and not distorted.

Since it exists, there must be a market for it.

No matter in the past or now, there is actually no difficulty for players to play foreign masterpieces, and it is even more convenient than in the past.

But the market share of online games is still very large, because some players don't like to play stand-alone games, or they don't like the kind of games where everyone is fair. vanity.

When Chuhe was thinking, it was soon Chuhe's turn to be numbered. Sitting in the seat, Chuhe ordered the dishes and continued to think about the game industry. Of course, this time, Chuhe didn't think too much. time.

Because a giant panda doll was placed on the seat opposite the Chu River by the waiter, and the waiter showed a very kind smile before leaving.

In fact, the emergence of stand-alone is mainly due to the instability of the previous networking technology. Stand-alone will not be replaced, but the multiplayer mode will definitely become the mainstream in the future, there is no doubt about it.

In addition, I watched the DOTA2 TI8 game today. The real version of the full-time master Cao, my good brother betrayed on the eve of the game, and took a member of the team to leave the team. When the team was on the verge of disbanding, I recruited casual players and passers-by to play high-playing games, all the way from the audition Reached the finals, and finally staged a comeback with a score of 3:2 to win the championship! Am I really not reading a novel?
