Number One Game Designer

If you want to consider the interface and API adaptation of this game, then you can't use Jinghong Engine, which is almost a 3A dedicated engine.

Due to the more professional game engine and the more closed environment, it is more difficult for players to develop their own mods, so Fang Xi announced that the game will be developed using JAVA.

Java is considered to be relatively old in a certain sense in the 21st century and 20s. The people in the development team were only a little surprised by this decision. According to the plan explained by the boss before, they I also have a rough idea for this game: this is a relatively simple game, and there is no difference between java, and it is even simpler to use java - imagine it, at least it is better than Jinghong Engine It's so simple, if you use the Jinghong engine to make this game, it's like shooting mosquitoes with a golden cannon, and you will make yourself suffer.

"Boss, shall we choose a name for this game?" Lu Tao looked hopeful.

Fang Xi was stunned for a moment, watching Lu Tao secretly pointing his finger at himself crazily, and recalling Lu Tao's weird insistence when the moba game was named, Fang Xi sighed, and asked almost hopelessly:

"It should have a name. Does Director Lu have any good ideas?"

Lu Tao immediately hit the snake with the stick: "I think Mr. Fang, you want to create a complete sandbox world. You can set up this world with absolute freedom, and this game seems to have a very low barrier to play and is very mini. Why don't we call it a sandbox world?" It's MINI world."

Mini world? Fang Xi complained in his heart, "Old Lu, you are really a talent. I was so stupid that I still had a glimmer of hope in you just now."

"That's good." Fang Xi had a kind face, and Lu Tao was happy.

"Thank you Director Lu for your valuable advice. Since this is the case, let's name this new project "The Origin of Everything"."

[In Hongyi, holding back a smile is a compulsory course. 】——A Hongyi employee stays.

...

The person who asked Fang Xi to write a letter asking for an interface, Zhang Guan, was indeed a third-year student majoring in game production, but what he didn't indicate in the letter was that he was also a map maker who was somewhat popular on the Internet.

The game Left 4 Dead opened up the map editor, and it was quickly explored by players related to game production. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest computer terminal:

For them, the practical significance of this map editor is not great, because this map cannot edit NPCs, it can only plan cities, and then put them online for players to download and fight in the city.

So after passing through the early stage, more and more producers began to move some cities in reality into the game. Zhang Guan is one of the best. Although he majored in computer science, but because of the good map, A wave of fans has also gathered on Weibo and Honghu platform, and he is also affectionately called an architect with the surname Zhang by the fans, which is quite helpless.

The hope that Hongyi will open a new interface is also a Nikkei topic among map producers, but Zhang Guan was the first to write to Fang Xi to say this.

After all, according to the usual practice, Hongyi is now a standard multinational game company, and it is a competition and a new game. How can it be possible to care about an old game?

So when Zhang Guan showed Fang Xi's reply in the group, all the group members were a little dumbfounded.

"I understand your love for Left 4 Dead, but it may be difficult to add more interfaces to Left 4 Dead, because this may affect the follow-up works and DLC of Left 4 Dead, so you may be able to meet your request in the future, but It's unlikely now."

Well, this basically means that the map editor that Hongyi can open to players is already at its maximum. Don't think about anything else. A group of people continue to look down.

"But I appreciate your unique 'playstyle' of the game, so I decided to give you a gift, a simple but absolutely free world,

A world that does not require NPCs and is purely constructed by the players themselves, a world where creativity can be freely expressed. "

"For the latest news about this world, please pay attention to Hongyi's latest news. We may release news about this game in the near future. Of course, I also welcome you to share this news with your friends who are also concerned about this issue. "

A few words, but the news contained in it is not small, new games, there may be new sequels to Left 4 Dead and other news flooding everyone's minds.

In this silence, there are still people who are persistently sending messages:

"what?"

"help."

Hmm... As a global game company, Hongyi naturally has players all over the world. A small half of this group are foreign players who are also good at making game mods. But even though they are in a group, these people complain every day that Chinese is really too difficult to learn, and every time this kind of news needs to be translated by someone, this time everyone was bombed speechless, so they forgot to have someone translate.

Zhang Guan was the first to come back to his senses. While making a brief translation of the message on the picture, Zhang Guan suggested:

"I think we should formally set up an organization to recruit those of us who are good at making mods. Since Mr. Fang has mentioned a new game specially made for people like us, I think we will definitely be interested in the new game."

"So I think Mr. Fang's reply can be regarded as news in a sense. Why don't we form an organization and jointly release it?"

"No problem, I think it can be."

"Great, I'm looking forward to it."

"what the f**king! FANG!"

Well, the above is the exclamation of a big foreign brother who just found out that there is a new game. He can't speak Chinese, so he has to be slow. New Bayi Chinese website first launch

In five minutes, this small group of less than 60 people unified their opinions and efficiently selected the name of the new organization:

National Union of Architects.

Almost at the same time that Fang Xi announced the establishment of the R\u0026D department in the afternoon, Zhang Guan and others also applied for a new Weibo account and Honghu platform account, announced the establishment of the organization, and posted Fang Xi's reply at the same time.

Just as a group of people had agreed before, after the account of their nominally small collective released the news, a group of people forwarded it to their social media one after another, and explained the news that they had joined the "National Architects Union".

Players also have different opinions on this news. In terms of the essence of the game, the few games released by Hongyi do not explain the concept of sandbox very well. Left 4 Dead is essentially a semi-sandbox. Portal and eternity are Not to mention, basically nothing to do with the sandbox. So Eternal players basically said "oh" when they saw it.

Players of Left 4 Dead were pleasantly surprised. Seeing their favorite map makers joining the new group one by one, and the preview of the new game, a group of people also felt that this game was suddenly worth looking forward to.

Xiaolan also told Fang Xi about the news. Fang Xi, who was busy arguing with Lu Tao at the time, saw the news and thought for three seconds before making a decision:

Issue them a unique badge and certification, and tell everyone that we encourage spontaneous organizations of such players to come together to better build the game world, specific follow-up welfare measures, and wait for our new game "Origin of Everything" to be launched Will post it later.
