Chapter 84 Inspiration

Lin Muchen's words stunned everyone.

Aren’t they a game company?

Does the boss want to get involved in the graphics card industry?

Several people couldn't help but begin to speculate on Lin Muchen's thoughts.

Lin Muchen said angrily: "Don't make wild guesses, I don't have the energy to get involved in the physical industry. I asked you to find a graphics card company to discuss cooperation with them and prepare for our next online game."

Online games?

Both Kuttner and Berg were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

They don't know about the games that the headquarters is planning to make, so they don't know that the company has any online game projects.

After a slight hesitation, Kuttner reminded: "I recently heard that the performance of several FPS online games from China Dragon City Entertainment represented by North American Shadow seems to be very poor."

"Don't worry, our game is different from theirs," Lin Muchen shook his head.

Since the boss has said so, others naturally have no objections.

After the meeting, Hua Yuansheng did not leave immediately, but asked doubtfully: "Why do we need to find a graphics card manufacturer?"

"Look to them for publicity, especially foreign publicity."

Lin Muchen replied: "And regarding the optimization of CS, we also need the cooperation of graphics card manufacturers. Moreover, some subsequent CS developments may require the help and support of graphics card manufacturers."

As for what kind of activity it is, of course it is about e-sports.

A successful e-sports competition will bring terrible exposure to the brand.

He is confident that he can successfully organize CS e-sports competitions. It depends on which manufacturer is willing to get on the express train.

......

"It's so difficult..."

Lu Luoxin sat listlessly at her desk, looking at the empty plans and wanting to cry without tears.

When she stayed with her boss, the most important thing she learned was that you can’t just slap your head on making a game, you must have a complete design draft and plan.

But before, she used to make games directly with her boss's complete design drafts. When she started writing it herself, she realized that this thing was really difficult to work on.

She held it in for a long time and only managed to write a thousand words. Now her brain is empty.

"So where should we put our efforts?"

She remembered that her boss said that most pixel games do not require too complicated plots, so this point can be passed.

So where else can we dig deeper?

At this time, Wu Ruixue rode an office chair and slid to her side: "Xinxin, what should we have for lunch?"

Next to the company is a well-known university in the province. There is a snack street opposite the university. Because many college students go there to eat, it is both cheap and plentiful.

"Wait a while, I'm not in the mood right now."

Lu Luoxin spread her arms flat, resting her chin on the gap, and sighed: "I have a headache now about how to play that game."

Wu Ruixue looked at the design draft, thought for a moment, and said, "Didn't the boss say that the first two game productions were our 'learning'? Maybe the boss was hinting that we can draw experience and inspiration from the previous two games?"

”

"But the first two games, one is a 2D realistic game and the other is a 2.5D game, are completely different from pixel games. Some of their features do not match the pixel games at all."

Wu Ruixue didn't know how to make games, so she could only comfort her: "Take your time, don't worry, maybe there is something you haven't noticed?"

"Why don't we go have a meal first and then take a lunch break to relax? Maybe inspiration will find you on its own initiative?"

"Okay."

Lu Luoxin tidied the table and went with her to the "Xiaodongtian" Malatang shop not far from the company.

The store is not big, and students like to take away, so there are actually no people in the store.

After ordering the meal, the two found a place to sit down. There was a couple not far away from them, and the sound of discussion reached their ears.

Girl: "...how many days have you survived?"

The boy tilted his head and thought for a while: "Thirty days? I'm not very skilled at playing. After making the ham stick, I didn't know what to do. I only found out that there is an underground world after reading the guide. However, the underground world seems to be very dangerous. I still

Making preparations."

Lu Luoxin and Wu Ruixue looked at each other and smiled.

You can tell from this description that the two of them are definitely talking about "Famine".

It's an amazing feeling to hear strangers discuss the games they helped create.

"Underground world?" the girl asked with interest, "You are so awesome, I haven't even seen the first BOSS... What is there in the underground world?"

"There are various enhanced versions of monsters. Because there is no light in the underground world, we must hold torches, otherwise we will be attacked in the dark... There is also a kind of plant, which is spherical and can emit fluorescence.

After taking it, you can make a miner's hat."

"What's the use?"

"It's equivalent to a head-mounted torch. It's like having a lighting tool. You don't have to be trapped by the campfire, and you also free your hands to fight with weapons."

"Ah, that's it..." the girl ate a piece of vegetable leaf and said with emotion, "There are so many things that can be made in Famine, and each item coincides with the characteristics of the raw materials in the game.

, Lin Muchen’s imagination is really big..."

"I think it should be the strength of the team, right? It's a bit too difficult for one person to think of all the content."

Wu Ruixue felt ashamed and whispered: "This is really a compliment to us. Almost all the early work was done by the boss himself. We really didn't help with the design... Xinxin, Xinxin

?"

Lu Luoxin was shocked and came to her senses: "Ah? What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about, so obsessed?"

"I'm...thinking about a new game."

The girl’s words reminded her.

Although the images are different, there is one point we can learn from: diversified item manufacturing.

Or something bigger: construction.

On the premise of weakening the plot, this may be a good development direction.

Another impact of weakening the plot: the player's goals are not clear, and BOSS battles can be used instead.

The underground exploration part of Don’t Starve can also be used as a reference.

In a 2D horizontal pixel game, different "caves" are randomly created under the land for players to explore.

This setting reminded Lu Luoxin of an ant nest.

Maybe it can be made like that, with more than one exit on the ground and the underground part can be connected?

The more Lu Luoxin thought about it, the more she became absorbed in it, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

If you follow this direction, maybe it can be done!

It’s just that we definitely can’t do pure survival construction according to the famine setting.

After all, who wants to watch a pixel picking fruits for dinner?

What if the survival factor of famine is removed and replaced by pure "combat" plus "construction"?

Let’s add some magic to enrich the game content...
