Number One Game Designer

Chapter 319: Willfulness and Persistence

The commodity attributes of the game itself cannot be erased.

The entire process of a product includes three links: production, publicity, and sales. In modern society, due to a series of reasons such as consumer associations, the product has also added the "after-sales" link.

The game is no different, so although the publicity was overwhelming half a month ago, from the moment the Assassin officially went online, the value of the Assassin's Spring and Autumn Period has ended in terms of merchandise, and Hongyi's focus needs to be shifted.

Its direct beneficiary is the "Borderland" development team in the headquarters of Hongyi. From its establishment to last month, the development team has always been in the state of three or two big cats and kittens, and there are only four in the R&D department. There are three individuals who are still operating, the kind that draws cakes for players online every day.

Although Fang Xi announced that because of Sorrento’s grievances, Fang Xi would take it back and remake the game by himself, but until now, the development of the game has been stagnant, and the three operations are becoming more and more guilty: drawing cakes for the players. If you don’t even have a picture, how can someone draw a pie?

So knowing that the assassin's research and development has officially ended, the Holy Order has begun to study the plot of the next stage behind closed doors. At this time, the research and development team in Borderlands has only one programmer and can only say, crying with joy.

"We are going to complete the remake of Borderlands within the next six months." Fang Xi was impassioned on the stage, and the only programmer under the stage blinked a little helplessly.

He was deceived into this R&D team when he first joined Hongyi. At that time, someone told him that the R&D department was really short of people and that the boss came in. Then he really believed in the evil of those people, and he really came in as the boss. There is only one person in the R&D department, can it be a big deal?

As a result, up to now, he has always managed himself, and later he also figured out why the person said that: At that time, the Assassin's R&D department was recruiting people, and everyone wanted to squeeze into the Assassin's R&D department. As long as you develop an assassin, not to mention bonuses, not to mention experience, even if you are driven directly after the research and development, anyone who wants you outside can go from the Huangpu River to the beach.

"What's your name?" Fang Xi's question brought him back to reality.

"Ding Yi, my boss is Ding Yi, and I have been working for just half a year." Ding Yi was a little nervous. Although I heard that the boss is very approachable, this is the first time I have talked with the boss.

"Ding Yi, right? I started working for half a year. At that time, I remembered that the assassin was recruiting people. I didn't go to research and develop the assassin and came to do solo work. The courage is commendable." Fang Xi smiled and praised.

"Actually I..." Ding Yi was a little embarrassed. However, under Fang Xi's gaze, he hesitated to talk about what he had been deceived when he first joined the job.

"Well..." Fang Xi nodded, "But I read the part you made based on my previous plan. Do you think you are suitable for shooting games?" Fang Xi raised a possibility.

"Me?" Ding Yi was a little sluggish, he has always been the most ordinary one, and he has not experienced the time when he was affirmed.

Fang Xi nodded and moved directly through the notebook. After all, saying it a thousand times is not as good as a piece of evidence.

"I am very satisfied with the effect of the design you made, because every shot essentially requires feedback. What you said in my proposal is that in addition to the color feedback, a slight lens shake is added, and what is the magnitude of this shake? Well, the control is just right. Did you add this yourself?"

Ding Yi's cheeks flushed red, and he stubbornly said: "Yes, yes, I got inspiration from your survival path. The front sight of the powerful weapon at that time would jump after the shot was fired. I thought at the time if I changed it to Will the screen jitter be better."

"Then I also fine-tuned the actions of the characters. I always felt that the logic code for the beating is a bit uncomfortable. I think this game would be better if it could do more things while beating, so I adjusted the logic code. With de-embedding, you can also shoot or activate skills when you are beating, the game can be smoother, and the player's tactics may be a little more." Ding Yi said, carefully watching Fang Xi's face.

It’s okay to say that the feedback effect is added above. The original code has been modified directly, which seems to be a little bold, but to put it bluntly, it negates the original Fang Xi’s logic. But Ding Yi can't always say that it is because he is too boring in this R&D department. In the past six months, if it were not for the payment of wages and the receipt of benefits, Ding Yi almost thought that he had been dismissed. There is no weekly report, no monthly report, no performance appraisal, no talks with superiors. In the past six months, I just optimized the logic of this action purely to find something for myself, otherwise Ding Yi would doubt whether he was going to be depressed.

Little did I know that Fang Xi was also a little embarrassed at this time. He was only told by Xiaolan yesterday that the department of Borderlands actually had a R&D staff member. In the early days, he said that he would fight for R&D personnel for Borderlands, but he was half busy preparing for it. It's E3, what happened during the New Year, but I forgot this. Now it seems that only Ding Yi was won at the time. I can only say that it is fortunate that there is only one, otherwise it is not easy to fool.

Therefore, in this weird atmosphere, Fang Xi and Ding Yi had a happy conversation between the guests and the host. CEO and Chairman Fang Xi fully affirmed the work results of Ding Yi, the only developer in the department, and Ding Yi, who holds the only position. Yi gave a high praise. Chairman and CEO Fang Xi gave instructions to learn from Comrade Ding Yi, and said: Hongyi will not forget employees like him. The organization has decided to expand the R&D department in the borderless land that is going to expand recently. Comrade Ding Yi is the leader. I hope that Comrade Ding Yi can convey his spirit to the whole department, and finally complete the important task of making the game within half a year.

For Chairman and CEO Fang Xi’s affirmation and praise, Comrade Ding Yi said: Rely!

"It's difficult to finish it in half a year." Ding Yi had a simple showdown. After chatting for a few words, he also found that the chairman is indeed as rumored and easy to talk, so he can tell the truth.

Fang Xi patted Ding Yi on the shoulder: "I know, but I will finish it in half a year."

Having said that, getting up directly did not give Ding Yi a chance to refuse, but when he got up, he left behind his first plot of Borderlands.

Fang Xi now feels like he is a grandfather, sowing seeds all over the world...Ah no, sowing the opportunity, just to find a reliable person and cultivate a great leader.

"Life is not easy." Fang Xi sighed quietly.

Fang Xi and Xiaolan's conversation can be heard in the hallway. The girl who has almost become Fang Xi’s assistant bounced and asked:

"Master, master, is this Ding Yi really that amazing?"

"I broke it."

"Ah? Why? Then you still let him be the project leader?"

"I am in a good mood."
