Almighty Game Designer

Everyone in the studio is looking forward to Chen Jiao's new game concept.

Although the previous building blocks were enjoyable, the vast majority of people still don't understand why Chen Jiao wants them to play LEGGO building blocks, let alone what the relationship is between building blocks and new games.

Besides, Chen Xiao has revealed more or less before, what he is going to do is play a VR game. A lot of people thought Chen strangers would use Azeras' world view, or Darkness's world view, to make a RPG game for a VR platform, but after playing with the building blocks, they were all confused.

Building blocks and new games, how exactly are they connected?

On the projector screen, the document title: "My World" design concept draft appears.

This time it's simpler than Dark Destroyer, and it'll be over in 10 minutes.

There are actually three main points, one is the inner rules of the game, the other is the outer packaging, and the third is the derivative method of play.

The built-in rules include rules for generating the entire world, rules for player acquisition and construction, day and night cycles, survival pattern brushes, production prop rules, and more.

The outer packaging is mainly about how to make a block look better, allowing the player to relate to the real world.

Derivative plays are some of the special plays of the later stages of the game, such as survival mode, build mode, multiplayer online, etc.

“Probably these things. Any questions?” Chen Jiao looked at the reaction of the audience.

Everyone looks at each other with the same look on their face: "That's it? Are you afraid you're not teasing me? ”

Zhou Hanyu coughed dry twice and said: “Well, I don't think there's a problem with the concept draft, it's very clear. Mainly" My World "as a VR game, is it a bit... too simple? ”

Zheng Hongxi nodded: “I don't think there is any drama at all in this game, and the numerical setting is extremely simple. Let alone compare it to" Darkness ", which is worse than" Beast Competition ". ”

Zhou Hanyu added: “Yes, and is the art requirement too low? Now VR games are trying to recreate the reality. I can't help but make hair. I'm afraid it's a little difficult to perform even five fingers in our current settings. ”

"I think it's debatable whether the core fun of the game will support its sales," Qian said. It's really fun to play with building blocks, but first there have to be drawings. If it's a bunch of parts that let us spell it freely, how many people can do that? At best spell out a bunch of spicy eyed monsters. ”

Su Jinyu also said: "Yes, I think so too. What is the total number of players who mainly like to be creative and freely drill in a completely unlimited world? And the VR game population is already smaller. ”

Very rarely, almost all the creators have questioned the draft concept.

Though Su Jianyu and Zheng Hongxi already have a great deal of faith in Chen Jiao, it is also based on the premise that Chen Jiao's design philosophy does not seriously deviate from their common sense.

Obviously, the "My World" design concept is far from what they think of as the "Thunder Mutual Entertainment First VR Game”.

Chen smiled and laughed. He didn't care if everyone questioned the design scheme.

After all, Chen Jiao spent so much time cultivating these three assistants to think independently, so that they can think independently, have their own views on the game, do not become the executives of unthinkable minds.

It is a good thing that all of these people are asking questions today that they all have their own thoughts.

Chen Qiao thought about it and asked: "What do you think of Famine? ”

Everyone was stunned. Su Jinyu replied: "Well... great play, good sales, belongs to the type of call and seat. ”

Chen Jiao nodded and continued to ask: "Where is the secret to success of famine? ”

Su Jinyu thought about it: "Hmm… simulates the player's need for survival, rich play, sandbox games allow players to explore and create freely. ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes, in the end, the secret to the success of Famine is that it is a sandbox game, and it highlights the concept of ‘survival’. Is it of high quality? ”

Su Jianyu: “… not high. ”

Chen Qiao asked, “So, what's the story in Famine? Is there a numerical depth? Is the rookie's guide perfect? Can you guess its sales before it goes live? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Chen continued: “It has no plot, no numerical depth, almost no novice guide. Before it went online, everyone thought it was a small game and no one could guess that it could get over 4 million in sales. What does that mean? ”

“This suggests that sandbox games don't require drama, numerical depth, or much beginner guidance. Sandbox games require freedom, and for that, everything can be sacrificed. ”

“Pixel wind is sacrificing everything for freedom. ”

Chen Jiao paused for a moment and watched the audience react.

Everyone is thinking about the meaning of this phrase.

Chen Qiao continued: "LEGGO building blocks, what is the minimum particle size? Side length 7.8 mm, height 9.6 mm, volume controlled within 1 cubic centimeter. ”

“Why this size? Because smaller, harder to spell, bigger, you can't show enough detail. So, the size of the LEGGO building blocks, which combines operability and performance, is the optimal solution that designers can calculate. ”

“Likewise, if we want to allow players to create freely in the game My World, we need to strike a balance between operability and performance. ”

“And this leads to the inevitable result, which is the pixel wind. Remember that dog I built out of Lego blocks, it was a pixel-style product, so our game had to do the same. ”

Speaking of which, the vast majority of people have understood what Chen Jiao means.

Chen Jiao's design philosophy is this: First of all, it is a building block-like sandbox game, so it can only be pixel-style, and Chen Jiao believes that it is enough to guarantee creative play, other things such as art, numerical values, drama, play are not important.

This design concept was guided by this design philosophy.

The meeting room was quiet for a while and everyone was thinking about what Chen Jiao had just said.

Su Jianyu nodded. “Well, I get it, manager. Now that you've figured it out, I support it. ”

Qian Qian also said: "OK, let's try it! I think it would be fun to make the building blocks! ”

Zhou Hanyu said: "Although I'm still a little uncomfortable, I'll think about how the pixel-style art style is presented. This game is sure to be the best looking pixel breeze in the world, even if it's pixel breeze. ”

Chen smiled: “Don't worry, everyone, this game will never disappoint you. ”
