Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Wednesday, 18 August.

The "Turn Back is Shore" demo came out.

The so-called demo, or so-called “demonstration”, “presentation”, “sample", can also be said to be the initial trial version if placed on the game.

Games like "Back to Shore" can be made into an initial version once the character model, action, battle system, etc. have all been roughly completed and paired with a few scenes.

In general, the optimization of the initial version and the development of subsequent scene resources are carried out simultaneously, while waiting for the art to draw new scenes, new monsters, debug the character's movements, combat and other details, so as to speed up the research and development progress.

General Pei's office.

Li Yada is debugging on Pei Qian's computer to confirm that some values are correct. When the debugging is complete, he will give it to President Pei for a try.

Pei Qian stood by and watched her debug the data in the game.

The threshold for making action games is very, very high.

Why do some domestically produced action games feel scarce and uncomfortable playing, while some foreign 3A masterpieces feel smooth and very pleasant in the fight?

Ultimately, two words: details.

For example, when characters hold different weapons such as daggers, swords, hammers, etc., the specific actions must be different, and each frame of each action needs to be adjusted very carefully.

Of course, it would be better to capture with motion, but it also needs to be adjusted.

Once any frame is missed, distorted, fast, or slow, the player will feel less fluent.

In addition, when striking enemies with different weapons, the enemy reacts differently and the surrounding environment feels shattered accordingly.

For example, attacking an enemy with a dagger or with a large hammer should make a big difference between a sense of blow and a slight change in the enemy.

If a hammer hits a monster and the monster doesn't respond, it makes the player feel “bad” and “unreal”.

So, it's a technical job, it's a personal job.

But these problems, they can all be solved with money.

"Turning Back to Shore" is the best action template, and the best 3D art is also found on the resource station for fine tuning, so the movement is very smooth and distinct from ordinary domestic games.

To be honest, it's still about the money.

Of course, mobility is a matter of art, and Li Yada can't get involved, but if you adjust the value, Li Yada will have to do it herself.

Like how much blood should this monster lose if the player chops it up with a different weapon? How many knives can you cut? Different attack methods trigger different hit animations, which bleeds more? How much more?

These are numerical questions.

Even though 3A masterpieces like immersion use UI like blood strips as much as possible, there are also specific values that are hidden in the game.

Riyadha finally checked the filled values and was ready to stand up and give Bae the experience.

Pei Qian stopped her: “Wait a minute, tweak the data and raise the monster attributes a little bit. ”

Li Yada stunned: “Still tuning? It's already high. ”

Pei Qian nodded: “Higher. Double the attack. No, double the attack. ”

Riyadha: “? ”

As President Pei had already said, "Turning Back to Shore" must be a very difficult game, and everyone in the project team must strangle their minds and do everything possible to make the player fail.

Reaching out to as many players as possible is the first task for all project team members.

It has to be said that Lu Mingliang is indeed very obedient, really strictly in accordance with General Pei's request, Bao Xu also gave a lot of constructive opinions in the process.

As a result, President Bae is still not satisfied?

Pei Qian did not explain much, he was well aware that even if Lu Mingliang strictly followed his own requirements, their imagination would certainly not be sufficient.

Doubling the monster's attack power is definitely not wrong.

Li Yada held onto the glasses and, as Pei Qian said, increased the attack power of the monster by a factor of three.

As a result, the originally low error tolerance rate becomes even lower in an instant.

After the change, Riyadha stood up, handed the handle to Pei Qian and stood aside.

She wants to see how Pei always plays this game!

Is it because he thinks this difficulty is not challenging for him?

Or, Bae is always like Bao Xu, the great god of games, can only find the fun of games in higher difficulty?

Riyadha pushed her glasses and looked at them with all her attention.

Pei Qian took over the handle, sat on his own boss chair and started the game.

The initial scene was in a small village, which was originally a quiet and peaceful village, but more and more people lost their souls and became spirits.

These men's clothes are worn out and depleted, and they carry some strange weapons, including firewood knives, hoes, sickles, grass forks and other agricultural tools, and even empty handed, stone-held ones.

The monsters are scattered all over the village, doing some vague behavior.

Some chopped wooden stakes with axes, but there was no wood on the stakes, so he lifted the axes in vain and cut them off, repeating them constantly;

Some squatted at the corner of the wall, facing the wall, and kept saying unintelligible sentences in their mouths;

Some are walking in the direction of the wall, it has completely lost its mind, but it will also walk unconsciously towards Yellow Springs Road, although it does not realize that it is a wall in front of it;

Some wander aimlessly in the village, and when they see someone with a clear mind, they scream and rush like crazy...

And the protagonists, like them, were wearing shattered clothes, and they also had a crude weapon in their hands.

In the player-born yard, some basic weapons are provided, including firewood knives, axes, sticks, grass forks, etc. During the course of the game, players will also acquire other weapons, which can be used at will, provided that the attributes are sufficient.

Pei Qian chose a wooden knife that would be more useful for the newcomer and rushed forward to the first little monster.

With a fork in his hand, this little weirdo immediately realized that Pei Qian approached him, and the long fork of grass had been stabbed out before Pei Qian's wooden knife had been cut to it!

Bae Qian saw that the blood strip in the upper left corner had dropped more than half.

Pei Qian pressed his hands and feet to flash, and the little monster with the fork of grass just after Pei Qian flashed again, he plugged in again, emptying the remaining blood strip of Pei Qian as well.

“Ha-ha-ha...”

The little weirdo with the fork made a strange laugh and turned away.

Just one black screen left.

Pei Qian: “…"

Li Yada: “…”

The scene was a little awkward for a while.
