Chapter 126 Formalization
Chapter 128 The game is online
Lin Muchen also saw this matter in the report submitted by Guixue. He just replied, "You can handle it yourself," and then continued to work on other things.
The investment in the Star Search Project has been carried out smoothly. Many studios have shown great interest in this method of "only giving money but not intervening in game production", especially for those game studios that lack funds. This plan is simply
Gospel from Heaven.
Currently, six studios have passed the review and received special investment funds.
Lin Muchen trusts Hua Yuansheng's vision. After all, he is a man who has the courage to allocate funds to develop free online games. He hopes that the games produced by these studios will achieve good results.
However, this incident reminded him that no matter how powerful Hua Yuansheng is, he is only one person, and he is also the president of Star Technology. This position is not as idle as most people think. Now he has to be in charge of selecting games. Isn't it a bit too busy?
Already?
So he is planning to consider forming a strategic investment department.
But this idea was pushed back by Hua Yuansheng and Xiao Shiying. The reason was that the company was almost out of control recently and it would take a while to establish it.
It's definitely an exaggeration to say that you can't open the pot. The income from CS alone is a very considerable figure, but money can't be spent all at once. Some money must be left for emergencies...
On the other side, the game production of the two studios is also in full swing.
The map design of "League of Legends" was completed quickly. It was not difficult, not to mention that there were ready-made design drafts that could be copied.
However, Hansong Studio encountered big troubles in the setting of the numerical system. It was difficult to achieve the balance they imagined between different heroes. Every time they found that this hero was too strong, and then weakened a few points of numerical values, and then found that this hero was too strong.
Became too weak...
Then they had to tear down the entire system and redo it, and finally found that it was not as good as the first time...
In this regard, Lin Muchen said he was helpless. After all, numerical design was really not his strong point. The numerical values for stand-alone games were okay, but when it came to games that required a lot of numerical support, there was nothing he could do.
This group of people were almost driven crazy by these numbers. Qin Xian even suggested not to achieve a complete balance. In the worst case, whoever is strong will be weakened, and whoever is weak will be strengthened, so that the heroes can take turns being the big brother.
The development trajectory seems to have returned to its previous life.
Lin Muchen did not refute this violent argument that was almost self-defeating. He just comforted them by saying that the release date of the game has not yet been determined, so that they can adjust the game with peace of mind. There is no need to be so impatient. It is really no longer possible to follow this plan...
Compared with the bumps and bumps of "League of Legends", the production of "Ice and Steam Age" was much smoother.
Strictly speaking, "Icepump Age" is easier to play than "This War of Mine", because the former does not have so many locations to choose from. Even if there is an option to go out for adventure, it only allows the expedition team to go after arriving at the destination.
Search by yourself and you will get at most a painting that fits the theme, which greatly saves production time.
The difficulty in game production lies in numerical design and plot conception, but the former accounts for a small proportion of the game and is quite easy to adjust, while the latter is even less worth mentioning for Lin Muchen and Lu Luoxin.
"I finished the game. I feel that the plot is very short. How long did it last for six plots?" Meng Jie touched his head, feeling a little unfinished.
"Just be content. It really doesn't hurt to stand and talk. How much more drama do you want..." Lu Luoxin said helplessly.
Just thinking about these plots is almost killing her brain cells, okay?
Jian Guang stretched out: "The background setting is quite novel. There are two routes to choose from on how to survive in the apocalypse. But can any of you tell me how those hunter huts capture food?"
Lu Luoxin: "Games need it, games need it..."
To be honest, she wasn't very clear. After all, it was counterintuitive that those small spaceships could fly into the sky in violent storms and land safely...
"It feels okay, because this is my war jewel in front of me, but it doesn't feel so amazing. After finishing this game, I have a new understanding of particle effects. Maybe you will be able to see it soon.
The third generation Singularity Engine."
Look, the person in charge of one unit has been tortured to the point of accepting his fate, and even seems to be enjoying it a little bit.
Lin Muchen just finished playing the game and took people through the coldest moment, and then shut down the computer as quickly as possible to prevent him from seeing the sentence "Is it worth it?"...
However, except for the ending that is full of flaws, perhaps because the background has been changed to Chinese people, and some mentally retarded Madonna options have been optimized, the overall game has a much better look and feel than the previous game.
For example, after a player signs the clause "Use child labor and can arrange them in all positions", it will not immediately cause dissatisfaction. Where children work, many small things will happen randomly, and the dissatisfaction and hope values will increase with these small things.
Decay or increase.
This "floating" adjustment actually makes the game play more smoothly.
......
He Hua sat in front of the computer, quietly waiting for the game to be unlocked.
Behind the Xinghai platform page, the desktop wallpaper is a poster that Chenxing released when he announced that the game is about to be released. The main body is in cold colors. At a glance, you can see thousands of miles of ice. In the center of this vast white snowfield, there stands a cylindrical building, without any traces.
Afraid of wind, snow and severe cold.
Not far away, a group of humans were trudging through the snow, and their destination was this mysterious building.
For some reason, He Hua felt that this poster was very eye-catching, so he simply used it as wallpaper.
"3,2,1!"
He Hua counted down silently in his mind, and when the time came, he completed a series of actions such as payment and downloading with a hand speed that was not suitable for the elderly.
Next comes the waiting time.
Different from the previous games released by Chenxing, the body of this stand-alone game is a bit large and the download time is much longer.
Enter the game.
Several familiar logos flashed past, and a smile flashed in He Hua's eyes.
These logos have almost become synonymous with quality.
Especially Singularity. As soon as this engine was opened, it swept various small and medium-sized studios, and even some large companies began to use it. There is no way, it is so easy to use. In horizontal comparison, their self-developed game engines can be reduced to rubbish in seconds.
.
Recently, the Singularity Engine seems to have added a new feature, which is similar to the creative workshop of the Xinghai Platform, but the official name is "Material Library". Although many models are charged and expensive, they still get many game productions.
praise from readers.
When entering the game, the first thing that caught his eye was the snowing scene. Combined with the sound of wind in his ears, He Hua could not help but feel a chill - even though it was already late spring and early summer.
The content of the game is also very simple, namely story mode and endless mode.
He Hua decided to experience the plot first, hesitated for a while among the six plots, and finally clicked on the first chapter:
Chapter completed!
