Two weeks later, inside a science and technology industrial park in Jiang City.

In the office of the 'Dream Chasing' outsourcing company, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang were sitting in front of the computer, looking at the completed game.

To complete the development of an independent game of this scale in two weeks is simply unbelievable in the world in Yang Chen's dream memory.

However, in reality, the game industry chain is extremely mature, and there are also innovations brought about by technology.

For example, in the world in the dream memory and the numerical values ​​in the game, you still need numerical planning to perform power function calculations. At the same time, you also need to master the programming code and be able to write auxiliary tools such as combat simulators and equipment drop simulators.

.

However, the officially provided engine here already has a big data template, which makes the work that needs to be done in numerical planning much more convenient.

Basically, if you understand probability, statistics, discreteness, the use of matlab and fortran, as well as a little knowledge of economics, you will be a qualified game numerical planner.

Of course, although it is a lot more convenient, if there is no template for the numerical planning of this small game, it will take about one and a half months to complete if Yang Chen does it alone to ensure that there are no major loopholes in the later stage.

But with the ready-made templates, Yang Chen only spent four or five days on reverse inference and using the official numerical planning tools, and most of the time was still wasted on numerical statistics.

At the door of the office, occasionally dream-chasing staff members passed by, looking at the closed office and discussing in low voices.

"Then the game developer is rich, spending so much money to make a pixel style game."

"I guess I have a mine at home, so I can just play around."

"Not necessarily. What if the other party's game is a big hit? I saw the GDD they provided at Mr. Chu's place, and I think it's very awesome. He shouldn't be a novice. The other party should have a very mature planning plan. In many places, we

You just have to do it stupidly, you don’t have to use your brain.”

"What's the use of that? It's not like I haven't seen it before, and who would play a pixel-style game? Those retro graphics are still from the last century, right?"

"Actually, when I was doing post-bug testing, I felt it was okay after playing it for a while."

"Come on, your aesthetics, last time you said that the mobile game of Pig Factory and Goose Factory was okay, but what happened? Now the Pig Factory has been bankrupt and closed for more than a year, and Goose Factory has now changed its career from a mobile game factory to

The breeding farm is selling the geese."

"That's right, it feels like you have to kneel down, and it also adds randomness to the game. There have been similar games before. If you encounter a monster that you can't beat when you enter the door at the beginning, and you have gone through all the trouble to open the treasure chest, there may be nothing in it. This kind of

What do gamers like? When you can’t beat it, there’s no place to look at the guide.”

In the office, Yang Chen used a mouse and keyboard to operate the game.

In terms of the operation of the game, Yang Chen did not simply use the letter keyboard WSAD movement and ↑↓←→ attack settings according to his memory, but chose to have a keyboard and also give players the choice to use the mouse.

Perform click and shoot.

Which is easier to use, the keyboard or the mouse? This is a matter of opinion. Some people like a combination of keyboard and mouse, while others like a pure keyboard.

The simplest way is to provide two modes of operation for players to choose.

"Not bad, the painting style is more in line with domestic aesthetics, and at the same time it maintains the original absurd style." Yang Chen was very satisfied when he was killed by a group of randomly spawned monsters in the BOSS room of the first level.

nodded.

As for being killed by a monster in the first level BOSS room, how big of a deal is that?

Does a game maker have to be a game master?

You have to know that many game makers are handicapped.

In the history of game development, although the various cheating codes at the beginning were said to be used for game testing, were they probably created by handicapped game developers to enable them to pass the level?

"Can this game really be successful?" Wang Yaliang, who was sitting next to Yang Chen, said uncertainly.

In fact, she doesn't know much about games, although the person she likes is in the game industry, and she also went to get to know him in order to pursue him.

But she’s not interested, she’s just not interested. What she plays the most on a daily basis is the Crush-themed games on her mobile phone.

As for the pixel game called "The Binding of Isaac" made by her boyfriend, from her point of view, she doesn't think it's very fun.

This picture has an old-fashioned pixel art style, although it is a high-definition resolution model.

However, the style of painting in the game makes the monsters fall apart immediately after being killed, and there is a pool of blood like a large puddle of ketchup, which makes it look a bit eye-catching.

Although the sound effects and the monster modeling are not ugly, they definitely have nothing to do with being good-looking.

Anyway, she has no interesting elements at all.

"Will do!"

Yang Chen looked at Wang Yaliang and said.

Looking at the other person's face, Yang Chen's expression was very serious.

This sentence is meant for the beauty in front of you to hear, and it is also meant for yourself to hear.

Although this game has proven itself in the dream world, this is a different world. As a game producer, Yang Chen feels that this game will be very popular.

But who can predict this unpredictable market and the tastes of players?

…………

Two days later, inside a rental house in Jiang City, it was three o'clock in the middle of the night.

In the room with the curtains drawn tightly, Wang Yaliang was not sleepy at all, staring at the game screen on the computer in front of him.

This is the full version of the game "The Binding of Isaac".

After registering with the official game union and submitting it for review as an independent gamer, Wang Yaliang has been playing for two consecutive days.

From the beginning she didn't think it was any fun, she just tried it because it was a game made by her man, but now she is completely obsessed with it.

Similarly, regarding the gameplay of the game from the very beginning, Wang Yaliang also said, "Isaac is so pitiful. What is the moral of this story? How did you come up with such a dark story!"

Successfully turned into 'Ah, why isn't it a treasure chest room? I want new props! A gambling room? I like it! Either you have a lot of money or you have nothing!'

"Ah! Why haven't I encountered that biubiubiu item yet? I can't get the ideal combination together!"

Yang Chen, who was woken up from his sleep on the bed, looked at Wang Yaliang with an expressionless face as he half-crouched on the chair. For the first time, he had the idea that the game could be so hateful.

It’s already midnight, and the keyboard you’re using still has a blue switch!

"Go to bed quickly, it's already past three o'clock." Yang Chen picked up the phone next to him and glanced at the time, then said to Wang Yaliang.

Turning to look at Yang Chen who was sitting up with a helpless expression, Wang Yaliang was a little embarrassed: "Did I wake you up? How about we play a game together?"

Pushing the laptop next to him, Wang Yaliang blinked and looked at Yang Chen.

In the plan, Yang Chen plans to add an online function to "The Binding of Isaac", but currently it only has a LAN function, because the network connection requires a server for data exchange and there is no preparation at all.

To put it more bluntly, it means that there is no money.

"Online? I'd better sleep. If I take you with me, you can only be robbed of powerful items and blood packs." Yang Chen, who had had a profound experience, thought of something and lay down decisively.
Chapter completed!
