Chapter 235 President Pei's Performance Time?
Wednesday, August 18.
The demo of "Back to the Shore" is out.
The so-called demo, which is the so-called "demonstration", "display" and "sample", can also be said to be the initial trial version if it is placed on the game.
For a game like "Back to the Shore", as long as the character model, action, combat system and other contents are roughly completed, and a few scenes are matched, an initial version can be made.
Generally speaking, the tuning of the initial version and the development of the subsequent scene resources are carried out simultaneously. While waiting for the artist to draw new scenes and new monsters, debugging the details of the character's actions, battles, etc., can speed up the development progress.
President Pei's office.
Li Yada is debugging on Pei Qian's computer to confirm whether some values are correct.
Pei Qian stood by and watched her debug the data in the game.
The production threshold for action games is very, very high.
Why do some domestic action games feel sluggish and uncomfortable to play, while some foreign 3A masterpieces feel hearty and refreshing in the fight?
It comes down to two words: details.
For example, when a character holds different weapons such as a dagger, a straight sword, a sledgehammer, etc., the specific actions must be different, and each frame of each action needs to be adjusted very carefully.
Of course, using motion capture is better, but it also needs to be adjusted.
Once any frame of action is deviated, crooked, fast or slow, it will make the player feel that it is not smooth.
In addition, using different weapons to hit the enemy, the enemy's reaction should be different when hitting, and the surrounding environment should also have a corresponding sense of fragmentation.
For example, attacking the enemy with a dagger, or attacking the enemy with a sledgehammer, there should be a big difference between the impact and the subtle changes of the enemy.
If the sledgehammer hits the monster, but the monster doesn't respond, this will make the player feel "bad feeling" and "unreal".
Therefore, adjusting the sense of attack is a technical activity, and it is also a physical activity.
However, these problems can be solved with money.
"Back to the Shore" bought the best action template, and also found the best 3D art on the resource station for fine-tuning, so the action is very smooth, which is obviously different from ordinary domestic games.
To put it bluntly, it's about money.
Of course, adjusting the action is a matter of art, and Li Yada can't get involved, but to adjust the value, Li Yada has to do it himself.
For example, if the player uses different weapons to cut it, how much blood should this monster drop? How many cuts can you kill? Different attack methods trigger different attack animations, which one loses more blood? How much exactly?
These are all numerical problems.
Although 3A masterpieces with a strong sense of immersion will try their best to use UI such as health bars to display life value, but there will also be specific values, but the values are hidden in the game.
Li Yada finally checked the filled-in values, ready to stand up and give the computer to President Pei to experience.
Pei Qian stopped her: "Wait a minute, adjust the data again, and increase the monster attribute a little bit."
Li Yada was stunned: "Still tuned? It's already very high."
Pei Qian nodded: "No matter how high it is. Double the attack power, no, triple it."
Li Yada: "?"
President Pei has said before that "Back to the Shore" must be a very difficult game, and everyone in the project team must rack their brains and do everything possible to make players fail.
It is the first task of all members of the project team to persuade as many players as possible.
I have to say that Lu Mingliang is really obedient, and he did it strictly according to President Pei's requirements. Bao Xu also gave a lot of constructive advice in the process.
As a result, President Pei is still not satisfied?
Pei Qian didn't explain much. He knew very well that even if Lu Mingliang strictly followed his own requirements, their imagination would definitely not be enough.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding more attack power to monsters.
Li Yada raised his glasses, and as Pei Qian said, tripled the monster's attack power.
As a result, the fault tolerance rate, which was originally not high, instantly became lower.
After the change, Li Yada stood up, handed the handle to Pei Qian, and stood aside.
She wanted to see how Pei always played this game!
President Pei so confidently asked me to triple the monster's attack power. Is it because he thinks this difficulty is not challenging for him?
Or, Pei is always the same game god as Bao Xu, and can only find the fun of the game at higher difficulty?
Li Yada pushed his glasses and watched intently.
Pei Qian took the handle, sat on his boss chair, and started the game.
The initial scene was in a small village, which was originally a peaceful and peaceful village, but more and more people lost their three souls and seven souls and became wandering souls.
These people are shabby and withered, and they are also holding some strange weapons, including hatchets, hoes, sickles, pitchforks and other agricultural implements, and even empty-handed ones with stones.
Monsters are scattered all over the village, doing some dazed behavior.
Some use an axe to chop wood piles, but there is no firewood on the piles, so he raises the axe in vain and chops down, and repeats;
Some squatted in the corner, facing the wall, and kept chanting sentences of unknown meaning;
Some are constantly walking in the direction of the wall, and they have completely lost their minds, but they will still walk towards Huangquan Road unconsciously, but they do not realize that there is a wall in front of them;
Some wandered aimlessly in the village, and when they saw a sane person, they rushed over with a mad scream...
The protagonist is similar to them, wearing tattered clothes and holding a crude weapon in his hand.
In the courtyard where the player is born, some basic weapons will be provided, including hatchets, axes, clubs, pitchforks, etc. In the process of the game, players will also continue to acquire other weapons, which can be used at will, provided that the attributes are sufficient.
Pei Qian chose the hatchet, which is easier to use for novices, and rushed to the first mobs in front.
This little monster had a pitchfork in his hand, and immediately realized Pei Qian's approach. The long pitchfork had stabbed out before Pei Qian's hatchet cut it!
With a "呲", Pei Qian saw that the blood bar in the upper left corner had dropped by more than half.
Pei Qian hurriedly pressed the dodge, and the little monster with the pitchfork shot again just after Pei Qian dodged, and again, it emptied Pei Qian's remaining blood bars.
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"
The little monster holding the pitchfork let out a series of strange laughter and turned away.
Only a black screen remains.
Pei Qian: "..."
Li Yada: "..."
The scene was awkward for a while.
