Number One Game Designer

"Fang Xi No.9, please come to the stage to show your work."

Fang Xi confirmed that the USB flash drive was still in his pocket, and then calmly stepped onto the stage.

But what makes Fang Xi dumbfounded is that it may be because of the relationship between the previous few people. After taking the stage, the cute schoolgirl host first asked if Fang Xi wanted to abstain? Fang Xi couldn't laugh or cry completely.

"No, no, I don't abstain, I am here for the championship!"

The elementary school girl who was caught by the school as the host seemed to be surprised, showing her little teeth and smiling: "Come on, senior!"

The audience seats below.

Lin Rongchang frowned when he saw Fang Xi calmly operating on stage. He clearly remembered how disheartened the players who had been on stage after he stepped down, and the first one to be so calm. I don’t know why, Lin Rongchang is a little bit unhappy. Great premonition.

At the top of the stage, Xi plugged in the hard drive, clicked on the game to start, and then waited for a long black screen.

The three brothers in the audience couldn't help but feel happy. The three of Meng Shan and the others had helped Fang Xi test the game before, and they naturally understood what was going on.

"I remember Fang Xi's opening game loading seems to take five minutes." Meng Shan sighed.

"Didn't the old party say that it was optimized? Even if there are not five minutes, three minutes will definitely be there." Gao Wei was gloating.

At the top of the stage, Xi looked at the black screen that was still loading, and then smiled at the host of the school girl next to him, and said: "School girl, my loading time is a bit long. Let me use the microphone to chat with my classmates. ?"

The Huya primary school girl looked at the black screen curiously, nodded and handed the microphone over.

Fang Xi took the microphone and said thank you, then walked to the front of the stage and rubbed the microphone to attract the attention of the audience.

"Hello everyone, I'm Fang Xi, and I'm the number 9 player this time."

Then Fang Xi turned to his side and motioned to the still dark screen behind him.

"It is also the culprit of the current black screen display." The students in the field laughed in cooperation.

Fang Xi also smiled and said, "Of course, it's a joke, but the game I made is limited by technology, so the loading time is a bit long."

"And taking this opportunity, I want to talk to you about my motivation for this game. After all, being idle is also being idle."

"Before making this game, I was thinking about what kind of game I would like to make, just like the other contestants?"

"In the end, I told myself that it's natural to make a game that I've been familiar with for a long time, and I can graduate smoothly, but I don't want to."

"When we embarked on the road of game designers, we must have heard teachers or predecessors say, what are we doing? What we do is games, and what is the meaning of games? The current developers, Teachers and professors have given a lot of definitions to games, such as puzzle, healthy and uplifting, refreshing and so on, but in my opinion, the game has only one evaluation criterion, that is, whether it is fun or not!"

"But here I also know that a graduation project without a budget makes it difficult to make a game that I find interesting in my mind, so I actually envy the number one player. After all, a sufficient budget is really not something everyone can get. from."

The audience Lin Rongchang pursed his lips when he heard Fang Xi's words, and then stretched out his hand to call in someone: "Check me his information."

On the stage, Fang Xi continued.

"And since I can't make the fun game in my mind, then I can only retreat and make something that can realize an interesting game."

"That's the game behind me."

At this time, the display behind him finally showed the game interface: finally loading is complete.

Fang Xi also returned to the console with the microphone in his hand, and gave an introduction while performing an operation.

"This is a first-person shooter game, and my original intention for doing this is because the first life shooter game only needs to model the individual arms. It doesn't need to model the whole body of the character, which saves a lot of effort." Fang When Xi said this, many people in the audience would also smile.

After that, Fang Xi settled the setting with three clicks and entered the game.

"Then everyone has seen the interface of my game. It is very simple, very familiar, and very easy to understand. I believe that even people who have just played fps games can understand these signs, symbols, numbers, and representatives at a glance. What happened."

In the screen, Fang Xi manipulates the character to avoid the monster's attack, and then kills an alien creature in twos or twos.

"Then back to the shooting game itself, what is the most important thing about shooting games? I think it’s a sense of coolness. Of course, we can sum up a more accurate term for the sense of substitution and feedback when we make the game. For shooting games, it’s fine to shoot a cool shot. So I didn’t do any plot or anything. It’s definitely not because I’m lazy and I’m only one person.”

At the top of the screen, Xi controlled the characters to fight and retreat, showing the whole picture of the map.

"You can see that this map is quite large here, but it needs to be explained that one of the characteristics of this game is that the map is randomly generated every time you enter. It is difficult, or it is basically impossible to encounter two the same. Maps, exploring the unknown, are also one of the joys of the game."

"My game content is almost so much, but here I want to sell it. I said when the game was loading just now, I don't think I can make fun, so I made this game to be able to do more Good game, why do you say that?"

The movement of the mouse above the monitor directly crossed the game and returned to the desktop. Then stood up and preached into the microphone:

"Then you might as well guess, how big is my game itself?"

Looking at the confused expressions of the students in the audience, Fang Xi laughed and chuckled softly: "You must not guess, I will tell you directly, this game is only 64KB. It is not MB, nor GB, only 64KB. "

"Any memory card, any memory card, as long as it has memory, can basically put down this game-of course, it may not be able to run. This is the theme of my graduation project, a brand new algorithm."

Seeing that there are only 64KB files in the USB flash drive displayed above the monitor, the students in the audience can't help but feel a little sluggish. In the background, there was a sound of overturning tables and chairs, and then a slightly bald man in his thirties rushed directly to the side of the console.

After grabbing the mouse from Fang Xi, click on the USB flash drive and right-click to view the file information. Seeing the unmistakable "Size: 64KB" on the file information, I could not help but mutter: "This is impossible, this is unscientific... "

After him, five slightly rich men also walked out of the backstage. Fang Xi recognized that the leader was his dean, Professor Tao Junyi, and hurriedly greeted him, "Hello dean~" and then fingered and held the console in despair. Man: "Dean, is this?"

Professor Tao laughed and said: "Fang Xi, is your algorithm for extreme compression space real? That is Lu Tao, the technical person in charge of Yinling Games, and one of the judges today. In fact, you just talked about it on stage. We all saw it and heard it. We saw that the game you made was pretty good. Then you finally said that this is a new algorithm you developed, and it can only be compressed to 64KB. Director Lu didn't believe it anyway, so I hurried to confirm it. , Don't be surprised."

Fang Xi shook his head: "This is not true. This is my entry. According to the rules of the competition, teachers can check my source code. The code will definitely not deceive people."

Professor Tao straightened his face and said: "Student Fang Xi, from your teacher's perspective, I suggest you consider giving up this competition so that no one can see your source code. You can use this new algorithm to follow up The company negotiates so that you will get a lot more benefits than you do now."

Fang Xi shook his head: "I don't plan to do this. I am very happy to graduate from Haifang University. If it can be finished with this new algorithm, it will be the best gift to his alma mater, let alone," Fang Xi He smiled and pointed to his head: "I believe that as long as the future is given to me, this algorithm is nothing, I believe in myself."

Professor Tao was silent for a while and said: "If your algorithm is correct, if the game is really only 64KB, then you are definitely the best graduate of this year."

Hearing that Professor Tao had just walked over to prepare to greet Lin Rong with the jury, he faltered, looking at Fang Xi's eyes full of coolness.
