Game Design: It is Very Simple For You To Fill In?

Chapter 21: broken! It’s true that you downloaded

Chapter 21 is broken! It’s true that you downloaded it!

 Since Dead Cells, Ye Feng’s studio has gradually disappeared from public view.

 The game development cycle is very long. After most people clear Dead Cells, their attention will naturally be attracted to other games or things.

 But as long as you click on the relevant topics about Dead Cells, you can find that this game has always had a steady stream of new blood added to it.

The players of Dead Cells may seem inconspicuous, but on any video platform, any newcomer without a fan base will earn tens of thousands of dollars in just a few hours just by recording a video related to "Dead Cells" and posting it. of playback volume.

Whether it’s a bad game or a good one, it will attract a group of cell people to laugh under the video and discuss interesting things in the game.

  No one scolds you for being good at cooking, and praises you for doing well.

 Brother Yin continues to play games through live broadcasts as usual. Now that the graduation season has passed, the weird games made by graduates on the gaming platform have also disappeared.

 The fun of testing new games on a daily basis is also much less.

“Ouch, there’s nothing to play recently.” Brother Yin glanced at the game platform page.

“I’m not bragging, I’ll just put my words here today. If anyone makes a game in the future, it’s impossible for anyone to torture me again!” He straightened his waist and patted his chest.

Seeing his arrogant look, I really couldn't hold back the barrage.

  ‘Isn’t that what you said before? ’

  ‘Who will recall it for Jie Hou’er? ’

‘Monkey: This Black Star is really black-hearted. Is this how your teacher taught you to play games? ’

‘Monkey: Dead again, oh shit, can this kind of designer really graduate? ’

  ‘The old thief tortured you not hard enough, right? If he keeps his promise, the new game of the black-hearted old thief will be launched in half a month! ’

  ‘I hope you can still say something like this! ’

 …

Brother Yin waved his hand disdainfully, "You know, do you just do what you say when playing games?"

“How many designers said they were going to make a new game, but in the end the game was delayed? You are still too young, brother.”

I heard from Sprout Studio that a new game will be released in three months.

 He immediately shook his head.

 Three months?

 Three years is almost enough.

 Dead Cells is probably the pinnacle of this studio.

 Perhaps in other industries, we can make better and better products based on our rich experience.

Just like a mobile phone, even if it is the same product, it can be optimized and updated year by year, and consumers are willing to pay for new devices for more memory, new processors, and better operating systems. .

 But this is not the case with games. It is easy to get scolded for making too much money, even if it is delicious.

 In terms of creative content, it is easy to see the phenomenon that becoming famous is the pinnacle.

 No matter how skilled and experienced he is later on, some people will still compare his current works with his original works, and then conclude with this sentence at the end:

 ‘The picture quality has improved and the optimization has become better...but in my heart, Dead Cells is the masterpiece. ’

He doesn’t understand game production.

 But he understands players, and most of the facts are like this. It is difficult for designers to make achievements beyond their own original works.

"My suggestion is, don't expect too much. Three months is really too short." Brother Yin shook his head, "If he had said that it would take three years to produce a new game, then I would really I look forward to the arrival of the three-year period.”

“But if he wants to make a low-quality textured game similar to Digging, just pretend I didn’t say anything. That kind of game is completely inferior to Dead Cells and has no sincerity.” Brother Yin sighed.

 Actually, if he thought about it carefully, he should be able to accept it if the other party kept playing small games.

 Just with Dead Cells in front of me, I will inevitably look forward to more successful and excellent works.

  ‘It’s impossible not to make a new game, right? ’

‘The salary offered by the previous recruitment at Sprout Studio was super good. You can’t support idle people if you don’t make games, right? ’

  ‘People who have failed to apply for jobs have something to say! The treatment for Germination is really good! But the recruitment conditions are also really strict. ’

'Um? Are there any Monkey fans who know how to make games? ’

 …

 When Brother Yin repeatedly emphasized not to expect too much about the release date of the new game, the Steam platform issued a push message.

  【The designer Black Star you subscribe to is about to release a new game, come and find out about it quickly! 】

 At the same time, a banner message popped up on the homepage of the platform. The text on it was clear and clear.

 In just a moment, everyone’s brains captured two key words.

  【New Game】【Black Star】

Brother Yin:…?

“What is Jie? Did I download the Steam Game Manager?” Brother Yin stared at the pop-up banner with his eyes wide open.

As we all know, there are many pirated platforms on the steam platform, and the names are also very similar.

For example, ‘Steam Butler’, ‘Steam Game Butler’, ‘Steam Game’…

Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh when he knew this. The steam game platform in the previous life also had similar problems.

Every time a game becomes popular, it will attract many new people who have not had much exposure to computer games to download it.

 It is precisely because everyone has little exposure to computer games that it is easy to download errors.

ˆSearch for platforms with similar names, and some players will be misled by them.

 Even after someone downloaded the real ‘Steam’ platform, they found that they could not enter the store and always displayed a web page error. Only the page of the stock game could be opened.

 This has also caused many newcomers to think that "the store page cannot be opened" is fake.

Sometimes new players post screenshots or short videos online to express their doubts: "Why is there no such-and-such game?"

 When everyone takes a look at his platform interface, the traces of piracy are particularly conspicuous.

Players can’t help but joke,

 ‘It’s broken, it’s actually downloaded by your kid. ’

 ‘Do you see how smooth it is to open the store page? If so, congratulations on downloading a fake one. ’

  ‘Except for genuine editions, all pirated editions can open the store page. ’

 …

Brother Yin couldn't help but scream now. He stared at his game platform several times before confirming that it was genuine and not a fake one that someone had reinstalled for him.

“Holy shit, how is that possible! The steam platform is promoting a new game to him?” Brother Yin put his hands on the table, his face full of disbelief.

 The platform cannot promote new games for designers. This is normal and mutually beneficial.

 It's just that this has never happened in Daxia.
