Chapter 146 I understand (second update)
From Huang Ping’s perspective, the games made by Fang Cheng are as exciting as ever.
This is not bragging or flattery, but my true feelings as a game enthusiast.
Not to mention the screen performance, item interaction and various systems, there is a natural feeling that is emerging, which makes Huang Ping feel that the games made by Fangcheng have become more and more flavorful.
Every literary and artistic work has its own flavor, novels, movies, games, animations... This flavor may come from a certain line or a certain expression, but it is this detail that perfectly displays the flavor of the game, making people remember it immediately game.
As more and more games are produced, the games made by Fang Cheng are improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. This makes Huang Ping anxiously think about how to make it more perfect, so as to improve the quality of this game. .
It's just that this process is getting harder and harder, but it also further forces him to squeeze out his potential and achieve greater improvement.
A few days later, the new game "I am a Director" was adjusted.
Xiaodouzi has also completed the numerical configuration, and various related game systems have also been adjusted. The entire game has become very complete and can be released at any time.
Judging from the progress of the project, the progress of this game is still very smooth. None of the common problems in the ordinary game development process have appeared. The whole process is smoother than taking Dove.
But the more this happened, the more Huang Ping felt something was wrong.
Not only him, Xiaodouzi and Monkey also felt that this game was very abnormal.
The process of game development is quite metaphysical. The more it feels like there is no problem, the more there is a problem; the more it feels like there is a problem, then there is really a big problem.
But no matter how they played, they still failed to figure out the problem, and finally had to give up temporarily.
On Friday, the three planners after get off work found that each other was fine, so they naturally started the planning night this week.
I don’t know when it started, but the second Friday of every month is the usual gathering time for the three of them. Everyone will buy all kinds of food and snacks, and then go to Huang Ping’s house to eat and play games until lunch the next day. Dismissed after dinner.
Huang Bin's girlfriends will specially go to their best friend's house on this night, and they will also start their best friend's night, just enough to leave the house to Huang Ping and the three of them.
Although the maximum age difference between the three of them is fourteen years, this does not prevent them from discovering that they have similar interests and personalities, and then they become good friends.
This kind of friendship that can be established after work is quite rare in the eyes of the three of them.
With drinks, beer and various barbecues, the three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room, watched a Stephen Chow movie while eating, and then turned on "Who is the Champion" to watch tonight's program.
After eating and drinking, they chatted for a while about the latest game developments and Tianyi's ongoing game promotion, and finally the topic finally fell on recent games.
Huang Ping took a sip of beer, then frowned and asked, "Have you noticed that something is not quite right about the game the boss made this time?" "
Yes." Xiaodouzi nodded, "The graphics of the game are remarkable. , the sound effects of the game are well matched, and the small animations during the filming of the show are very interesting. The completion of various systems is higher, but I just feel something is wrong." The
monkey on the side drank a peach-flavored Coke and scratched his chin and said: "I said it's not very good, but I feel like there's something hidden in the game."
"Me too, I feel like the boss's bad taste has come back again." Huang Ping sighed.
"That's not a bad taste, that's a characteristic." Xiaodouzi said with admiration, "Only the boss can hide the Easter eggs in such an otherworldly way." "...
Fanatic believers are really scary, but why do I think you said Does it make sense?"
Now, it is a well-known fact that Fangcheng Studio Games likes to bury Easter eggs in games.
At Station B, some people even specialize in popularizing this meme, and use "this is an easter egg" to refer to certain flips or "big ones are coming" and other situations.
In the eyes of players, the game itself is just an appetizer, and the easter eggs are the main meal.
This meme is even more famous than the games made by Fangcheng Studio. It can also be seen that the impact of games on mainstream culture is gradually deepening.
And when they thought about Fang Cheng's hidden plot in the game, they didn't discover it. This made Huang Ping and the three planners feel that they were a bit derelict in their duties. The bonuses they received in the past few days were a bit too hot to touch.
The joyful atmosphere just now was immediately suppressed, and only the highlights of "Who is the Champion" were left in the room? Lao Wang said that the game looked confused and asked "Why?" the famous scene.
After a moment of silence, Huang Ping took out the USB flash drive in his pocket and said seriously: "I copied the game out after work. Do you want to watch it together?"
"Old Huang, you are crazy!" Xiaodouzi was shocked, "What the hell? You have a criminal record, have you forgotten about the "Botanical Garden"? How dare you?" "
But I really can't help it. I must solve this secret." Huang Ping said firmly.
Looking at the USB flash drive the size of the little finger in Lao Huang's hand, Xiaodouzi and Monkey seemed to have seen Pandora's Box and couldn't help but become nervous.
They really want to work overtime now to see the secrets hidden in the game and find out the truth about the game, but they are afraid that their boss Fang Cheng will find out.
After being discovered, they could only accept compensatory time off, and they might have to make up the next weekend as well.
In Fangcheng Studio, the biggest punishment may be not being allowed to work. .
After thinking for a long time, Xiaodouzi suddenly realized, and then said: "Let's watch and discuss secretly, without writing documents or taking records. Is the boss still a god? How can he still know that we worked overtime like this?" "
Well? , That makes sense." Huang Ping nodded.
"This time I'm on Xiaodouzi's side." Monkey also nodded.
After reaching a consensus, the three of them couldn't wait to turn on the computer and plug in the USB flash drive. The three of them looked at the screen together and secretly started the game.
After these days of additions, the game has become more complete.
Now, the novice guide has been completed and the game's system guidance has been improved, making it almost effortless for new players to play the game.
The game can be played stand-alone or online. If you are online, you can visit the programs that others are producing, and you can even make a guest appearance in other people's games, which is a little easter egg.
However, Huang Ping knew that this was definitely not a big easter egg arranged by Fang Cheng.
The real big easter eggs are things that change the way the game is played.
Why didn't they let their boss know that they were secretly working overtime? Huang Ping deliberately cut off his own network and started playing stand-alone games.
Huang Ping immediately closed the novice guide and quickly started the game.
This time, Huang Ping discovered that Fang Cheng had deliberately made subtractions to limit the gameplay of the game to a very simple one.
That is to continuously select employees, train employees, and then let employees produce various programs for themselves.
Although everything from program planning to final actual broadcast needs to be handled by the player, the whole process only requires a few clicks and allocating employees, and you can get started almost instantly.
The various performances in the game are humorous, there are enough random events, and the animations are rich and large in number, which makes the game not monotonous. However, unlike the simplicity of the gameplay, the game actually has room for in-depth thinking.
Different employees have different labels, and correspondingly, different programs also have different labels.
When the labels of the two coincide. The efficiency of employees' actions will be greatly improved, resulting in better program effects.
In addition, there are also matching effects between programs, and as the game develops, players will find that different times will have different effects on the game. These are details that can be found in reality.
After making the tie-ins and finally relaxing the show, players can see the final show ratings and see what viewers are saying.
This link is Huang Ping’s favorite link.
Ratings determine the final effect of the entire program and the financial subsidies from above. A program must be good enough to obtain high ratings.
Through audience comments, we can see whether the overall program is in the correct direction, and we can predict in advance what themes and combinations the audience will like in the near future through comments.
Although he didn't know what method Fang Cheng used, after several attempts, Huang Ping found that these audience comments were flexible and changeable, as if a group of living audiences were commenting in front of the TV.
They can know exactly what themes and combinations the players have used, and some can even recognize old acquaintances. There are even some professional film critics among them, who can introduce the advantages and disadvantages of the program in a matter-of-fact way.
The comments were either humorous or harsh. Some comments can make people laugh, but some comments can also make people break their guard.
This game is highly random and the final result may be affected by many factors.
Sometimes, when a large amount of money is invested, if a negative news about the relevant actors appears, the ratings will plummet, and the result will be nothing.
But sometimes, even if the capital investment is not much, if it happens to be on the trend. Then the show might also be an instant hit. Then make a lot of money.
In the game, player income mainly comes from activity funds distributed above and advertising fees.
The expenses include various service fees, reporter interview fees, program arrangement fees, and employee wages, etc.
After experiencing it again, Huang Ping and the other three originally went in the direction of looking for Easter eggs, but after playing for a while, they began to immerse themselves in the game and began to re-discuss the effects of each combination.
"I have always felt that comedy and suspense don't go well together, but the actual effect is surprisingly good, and the feedback from the audience is also very good. Is this combination wrong?" Monkey asked doubtfully.
"I think it's because the comedy attribute can dilute the tension caused by suspense and make the audience relax. And I have to say that many times the audience doesn't actually like reasoning. They just need an attractive story that they can immerse themselves in. Just one click will do. And if the story is interesting, that’s even better," Huang Ping explained.
"Well, that makes sense. Then how about we try to combine comedy with gangsters? What do you think we can call this show?" "
Heishenhui?"
"Well, it sounds interesting. What about dance and gangsters? How do you feel?"
"I imagined it... Please give me a brain that has never thought about this kind of thing." "
No matter, let's watch the dance and gangsters first."
"Don't... I'm running out of money."
"It's late . It’s done!”
After the themes are combined and handed over to the screenwriter, the program can begin formal production.
During the formal production process, the stage will show different animation performance effects based on the themes selected by the players.
For example, if it's gangsters and dance, then you can see a group of men wearing black suits on the stage, with tattoos all over their backs and scars all over their faces. Just by looking at their
appearance, you can tell that these people are... He was a regular on the wanted list, and the police had to empty their magazines when they saw him.
However, the group started singing and dancing on the stage.
The bald men gathered together, holding hands, wearing white ballet costumes, and then began to dance the Four Little Swans.
They dance gracefully and move gracefully. Although they look extremely eye-catching, I don’t know why, but after watching them too much, they still feel quite interesting.
Seeing this scene, Huang Ping, who had objected just now, immediately laughed out loud, and even Xiaodouzi also laughed.
Weird combinations often bring more interesting feelings to the players in front of the screen, which can also be regarded as a little easter egg.
But it's still not enough.
After laughing, Huang Ping rubbed his belly and said: "Oh, no, I'm almost out of money. Fortunately, I saved the file before. Otherwise, this combination alone would be enough to bankrupt us."
Monkey nodded: "No. Wrong, there is always a shortage of funds in this game. It costs money to buy good laptops, hire staff, and train staff. Why should I give money when they eat and sleep with me?"
He was casually saying A comment, but Xiaodouzi was stunned, as if he understood something.
Pulling the monkey over, he asked seriously: "What did you just say?"
"Why should I give you money?"
Upon hearing these words, a flash of lightning seemed to flash in Xiaodouzi's mind.
He quickly restarted the game and started trying again and again to start the plot.
After several attempts, he stared at the screen and began to meditate. After ten minutes, he quickly restarted the game and continued trying.
Seeing Xiaodouzi who was so nervous, Huang Ping didn't dare to say a word, and it would be useless if he did.
At this time, Xiaodouzi was completely in working mode, and no matter what he said, he couldn't hear it anymore.
Finally, Xiaodouzi slammed the keyboard and said excitedly: "I understand."
Turning his head, Huangping screen, finally saw the abnormality.
In the asset column, Xiaodouzi's assets have exceeded seven figures, but his employee numbers are not good, and the equipment of the program team is also shabby, which is completely inconsistent with his actual assets.
After recalling the operation of Xiaodouzi, Huang Ping also nodded and said: "I see, I understand."
Thanks to the 100-point reward from ordinary passing book friend 2049, and the 100-point reward from Starry Sky Love Galaxy, thank you.
The third update will be delivered later.
