Number One Game Designer

Under the supervision of Boss Fang, the progress of each game is very fast.

The first is the writing missions of the Holy Religious Society. There are already more than 60 side missions written, but this is still far from Fang Xi’s expectations. Fang Xi’s goal is that players can play in several major metropolises during the Warring States Period. Therefore, there are about 50 branch missions in each capital city, and the final branch missions will exceed 500, including those missions that were rejected and failed.

Is it stupid to sandbox mode and then infinitely clean up the question mark mode? Fang Xi doesn't think that at least this mode is very useful for getting acquainted with a world initially. The rich side missions can perfectly enrich a worldview, and the side missions that have little to do with the main story can also make the missions in the game feel flesh and blood. .

The second is the first super-large DLC of the road to survival that Fang Xi promised. Since it was launched in March, the peak period of this online zombie fighting game has gradually faded, and now the number of players has stabilized at an average of 2.1 million online horror data. Fang Xi silently counted the number of zombies in Raccoon City, and suddenly felt a little sad for the zombies. If there are two million players every day, one player can kill 30 zombies in a random circle. Players There must be more than 60 million zombies eliminated in a day? In the game setting, the resident population of Raccoon City is only 6 million. The average player can destroy ten Raccoon City in one day, full of motivation.

The first large-scale DLC promised by Fang Xi has also been produced, and it will be put on the E3 exhibition for players to judge. The setting leaked by insiders that domestic players can play North American games in their location has also been learned by North American players. A large number of player anchors began to learn Chinese by themselves, and then the Honghu platform reversed and went to Huaxia District to buy Road to Survival and experience this game. The charm of the game.

In addition, the commemorative level of the portal has also been produced. For Fang Xi, Aperture Company is also an important part of the plan. This level will also be updated for free after E3 as a thank you for the support of the players.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

In June, one week before E3, Fang Xi came to Los Angeles ahead of schedule.

In addition to participating in the important promotion event of E3, Sorrento also asked Fang Xi to meet. He wanted Fang Xi to review the demo of Borderlands that his company had made. Fang Xi also readily agreed and wanted to see it. What kind of games can people in this world make with their plans for the previous world.

"Is this the demo of the game that your company spent half a year making?"

After the trial, Fang Xi asked Sorrento in disbelief.

"How is it? Isn't it great? This demo is highly rated by our company and they think it will be a strong contender for this year's Game of the Year in North America!"

Seeing Sorrento's smug smile, Fang Xi suddenly didn't know how to say that their game was actually the same as Shi...

Of course, this is in Fang Xi's eyes.

Generally speaking, this is due to a little deviation in communication between the two parties.

The animation rendering style of Borderlands is correct, and Fang Xi's prediction is correct. Once this style of painting comes out, it will be very eye-catching, but what about the others? How punk is this game really? Heavy metal, death rock, steampunk. The real Borderlands whole game exudes a color of rebellion and resistance. This is a world full of lunatics and normal people are abnormal.

Fang Xi only briefly mentioned these things when he was working on the planning case.

So what did Sorrento find? A street painter... who can make a cyberpunk by spraying paint and reciting a rap? Fang Xi could only feel hopeless, not knowing whether it was because of himself or the culture of this world.

Looking at Fang Xi's expression, Sorrento also noticed something was wrong:

"You are not satisfied?"

Fang Xi did not make a clear statement, but asked rhetorically:

"Do you want to make a classic or do you want to make a platinum?"

Sorrento thought carefully for a minute before answering this question.

"If you said that making a classic requires major changes, then I would rather just make one platinum sales. I need time now."

Fang Xi nodded: "That's OK, the level shown in the demo is enough for you to be platinum."

Seeing Sorrento's wide-eyed smile, Fang Xi sighed inwardly, the two of them really are not the same way.

Although they are all the chairman on the surface, but now I may still value the identity of the game producer more, and Sorrento is probably...

"Of course we are businessmen." Seeing Fang Xi's leaving back, Sorrento explained to the people around him.

"Remember, we are businessmen, and games are just commodities. For us, efficiency and rate of return are everything. He said classics are classics?" Sorrento laughed silently and ironically:

"He wants to overthrow our game and start over, but is it possible? The sooner we sell it, the sooner we can make money, and the later projects can be rolled out earlier. This kid doesn't understand anything."

Fang Xi also said the same words silently in his heart.

If the game is graded in the history of the game, the best is undoubtedly the masterpiece, and the representative ones such as "Zelda Sky Sword", "WAR3" and "Baldur's Gate" are all works that completely created an era of games. Even with the passage of time, the brilliance of these games will not fade away.

The next level is the classics, which are basically the masterpieces of each genre, such as the Diablo series that is so fast, the DOOM series that is cool without brains, and the Need for Speed ​​​​series of luxury car racing. They are all works that create a game style. Among them, the land of no man belongs to this level in Fang Xi's heart.

And what is Sorrento trying to do? Products on the assembly line, like Call of Duty, are fictional and groundbreaking, as long as they can be made quickly and sell well.

Not to mention disappointment, Fang Xi just felt a little pity, after all, I gave him the opportunity to create classics, but Sorrento lost the watermelon and regarded a sesame as a treasure. Fang Xi didn't need to say anything about such things, at most I will have a chance to see if I want to reproduce this shooting game with a strong North American style in the future.

Three days later, Fang Xi also received his E3 team at the airport.

Lu Wanqi, Chen Yu, Lu Tao, Su Luo, Lu Qiu, Tao Junyi, and several representatives of the research and development team. As the largest game exhibition in the world, its time span is also very long, so the scale of this time is incomparable with the previous San Francisco exhibition, so Fang Xi also brought a large number of company personnel here, and Su Luo also brought the mysterious bird All the people from the studio brought them here. This time, the organizer arranged a medium-sized venue for Hongyi, which required a group of people to arrange it carefully.

"Hey, Pim, the game update is not very diligent recently."

Su Luo also brought the Youtube anchor Pim and the non-staff staff of Xuanniao.

Pim has no grievances about being bought by Xuanniao. The foreigner has always been very clear about being paid for things, and he has never felt that there is anything wrong with posting advertisements to earn money for food.

"Hey, FANG, hello, there is a saying in China that a skillful wife can't cook without rice. I'm also looking forward to Left 4 Survival, but it hasn't been released in North America. I don't have any materials to make videos. .”

Pim knew him very well, and after greeting him, he began to complain endlessly.

Fang Xi made a restraining gesture with both hands:

"OK, follow me at E3 this time. Let me tell you in advance that the North American approval of Left 4 Dead has passed, and it will be officially launched after E3, with a super-large DLC that will be announced at this exhibition!"

"Really?! Guys, did you hear what FANG said? We have a week left to play Left 4 Dead!"

Only then did Fang Xi notice that there was a camera fixed on Pim's shoulder.
