Chapter 104: The Progress of the Game (Subscription Requested)
Holden smiled wryly, saw that the boss had been staring at him, and said helplessly: "Boss, if it is an idea that we all come up with, or we will come up with all kinds of new ideas." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info However, now the boss is to write a game from the background story, the game characters, props, and levels involved in the game clearly, what we want to do now is to show the boss and your game plan as soon as possible, and there will also be consideration of additional obstacle difficulty. ”
The corners of Andy's mouth twitched, Nima, this is a rake, and in the end, it became his own, but Andy also understands Holden's concerns, after all, the first project arranged by the new boss, if the boss can't see the results as soon as possible, it is really possible to be fired.
Andy understands this mood, he used to be a game developer, and the boss's arrangement is the most important. To be able to develop the game to this level of playability in a matter of months, it can't be said that Holden is really working hard.
Andy groaned, shook his head and smiled: "Maybe I'm too anxious, but seeing you develop the demo version to this extent, I always want to hurry up, and then we will push it to the market and make the company profitable, it's only been a few months, I know you've worked hard." ”
Andy's words fell, and the faces of the members of the development team of "Zombie" returned to normal, which startled them just now.
"That said,But I still have to make a request.,I need everyone to brainstorm.,It's not that my planning content is the most suitable.,The most perfect.,Do you have any good ideas to say.,After the game sells.,I'm not stingy with rewards.。。。 ”
Andy encouraged the Zombie development team, and Holden understood, then turned to Minecraft's development team led by Bill.
In Andy's mind, "Minecraft" is the most important, far more important than "Zombie", those tech nerds in the previous life, excavated the game "Minecraft" to a jaw-dropping degree.
Some people can complete a tall castle in five years, and the interior details of the castle are shown one by one, which requires a lot of love and perseverance.
Microsoft bought Minecraft development studio for $2.5 billion, and developer Marcus spent four days developing the sandbox game, which brought him $1.75 billion in cash.
In just six years, from developing it alone, to releasing the closed beta, to assembling the studio, and then being acquired, Marcus bought the initial version from an unknown person at a cost of only $5, which is almost like a fairy tale to say.
And Microsoft, the acquirer, took only two years to recoup the $2.5 billion it spent on the acquisition of Minecraft Studios. Developer Marcus spent $70 million on a mansion in Los Angeles, and a year later he regretted selling the game studio, but unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
This is undoubtedly a gold mine, Andy will not sell it like the developers in his previous life, it will be the biggest cash in Andy's hands.
Bill motioned for the team to draw the curtains, and the room immediately went dark, and a member of the group who was good at playing the game demonstrated on the computer, synced to the projector in the conference room.
Familiar squares, familiar oceans, mountains made of blocks, all kinds of plants, trees, everything is so kind.
Truth be told, Minecraft was described by the media as "a game master and a creative person who can enjoy the supreme joy of this game." "It still makes a lot of sense.
And most players enter the game more to wreak, cause trouble, and kill animals everywhere with a saw, well, that's how Andy used to play anyway, let him build a simple little house and make up for it.
Think about the various majestic buildings built by players, such as the city in the sky, such as the Great Wall, whether it is an imaginary building, or some buildings in the real world have been restored by players in the game one by one, Andy is really admired when he sees the photos or videos.
As the demo progressed, rainforests, deserts, villages, and abandoned mines appeared on the screen, and the staff member began to show off the game mode again, and the current closed beta version only has three modes: creative mode, survival mode, and spectator mode.
The game was demonstrated for about half an hour, and although it was only a cursory look, Andy understood that this was already hundreds of times stronger than the closed beta version of Marcus in his previous life.
After the presentation, the curtains were opened, the room was bright, Andy was the first to applaud in satisfaction, and then everyone began to applaud, Bill and his team were excited and relieved that months of hard work had finally been recognized.
When the applause subsided, Andy looked at Bill and asked, "Can you start selling the beta version now?"
Bill frowned slightly and thought for a while, looked at Andy and replied: "Yes, yes, but it needs to be constantly updated, release new things to players, and increase the attractiveness of the game to players, until the open beta version of the multiplayer mode is developed and improved." ”
Andy set his sights on the company's CEO, Blair, who coughed lightly and said, "I have asked people to remake the page of the company's original website, and it is completely possible to release game patches on it for players to download updates." ”
Andy nodded with satisfaction and said to Bill, "Then there should be no problem now, right?"
Bill gritted his teeth and nodded and replied, "We don't have a problem, we'll make simple improvements, and we can make game discs for sale." ”
Andy looked at Blair and said with a smile, "You're an expert in sales, no problem, right?"
"Of course, we also need a promotional animation, which will take a while, preferably with a lot of scenes from the game to give the player a sense of the game, and a few classic architectural scenes to add to the appeal. Blair replied confidently.
"That's okay, "Zombie" still needs further development, don't worry, don't put all the JING power on one level after another, think more about what elements can be added to what you have now, after all, there is always an end to the setting of the level, and only infinite combinations can make infinite possibilities. ”
Andy paused as he spoke, seeing that the "Zombie" team was listening carefully, after all, the boss, as the planner of the game, had the deepest understanding of the game.
"This game requires the player to have both the intelligence of the brain and the reaction of the cerebellum. After having the correct tactical thinking, it is necessary to rely on tactics to realize the strategy. The range of tactics includes a wide range, such as the combination of plants, the formation during battle, and the battle or defense when plants and zombies meet. The right tactics are the key to the player's victory in battle. Choosing the right tactic requires analyzing the situation before making a decision. Then improving the tactical level is also about improving the ability to analyze the situation. ”
