Number One Game Designer

The expanded content of the game has always been a very important part of the game. From the perspective of maintaining freshness, DLC, mods, sequels, etc. are all similar things. Some game makers first discovered that if they rely on the official Update and adjustment, then the official is afraid that it is not exhausted, and if the late game revenue decreases, will you withdraw or not withdraw the many planning operations you have arranged for this game? If you withdraw it will affect your reputation, if you don't withdraw, it will be money.

So the most dazzling thing in the war3 era appeared. It is called "war3 map editor." This official map editor is also recognized as one of the most successful map editors in history. Without this thing, war3 game can only It is outstanding, but this editor has successfully revitalized war3's map inventory, making it one of the greatest games.

This thing is essentially similar to a game engine, but the function is very, very simple, and it is so simple that it is a bit of a fool. Even a zero-based rookie, it is possible to learn how to use it and make a game map by exploring it by yourself.

This software allows players to plan and operate their own, not satisfied with the map? Change it yourself, have a good idea? do it yourself! Want to play games with friends according to your own ideas? The editor is for you, you do it!

War3 official maps may only have about a hundred maps, but according to incomplete statistics, there were 1,300 maps in 2017 alone. This is still past the golden age of war3, and only some big players are counted. If you count each of the maps, even if the official is not clear, there have been good people who went to the war3 community to ask questions about this, and the designer’s answer is "countless."

Fang Xi didn't want to reach this height. After all, the theme of the game is different, but he wanted to try. If he gave the player the editor brush, what kind of scenery can the player draw?

For Fang Xi’s idea, the R&D department is still executing very quickly. They were originally amazed at Fang Xi’s various ideas, and then numb, but now they basically ignore it, just like the first time primitive people see lightning, they feel that they are gods. If it rains, I feel that it’s commonplace to see it, "Our boss is so great, what's the question?" "No."

However, this obviously cannot be completed in a short while, but at least it makes the whole department busy again and the work has goals.

………………

In mid-September, Fang Xi flew to Fangshi again and met Chen Yu at the airport.

Fang Xi took off his coat, Beiyang City had already begun to feel cool, Haifang City was still in the middle of summer, and the boss Fang who came in his coat was not hot.

"Where are Xiaolan and Lu Wanqi?" Fang Xi asked. Chen Yu is also the actual person in charge here. It is not appropriate for him to pick up the plane.

"Haifang City has a lot of responsibility for the situation here. They are still busy with Beiyang and have their own jobs. Now the personnel in Haifang City have not been completely fixed, and there are many people and fish and dragons. Every day There are seven or eight interviews, and two of them are also working in shifts."

"Thanks for your hard work." Fang Xi sighed.

"If you know the hard work, remember to give me a raise." The cold-faced Chen Yu rarely joked.

Fang Xi laughed: "Not only is there a salary increase, but there are also bonuses. Let's go, let's meet the actor Zhao Jiamo."

Compared with two months ago, Zhao Jiamo is a little thinner, because considering the problem of image collection, Fang Xi directly gave him the standard figure of the male protagonist in the game, which is strong, but a little malnourished and thin.

So recently Zhao Jiamo has been controlling his diet. Now it looks like he can't eat enough food every day, but it adds some charm. Fang Xi's eyes lit up: "It would be nice if the eyes were more fierce."

Zhao Jiamo didn't rush to entertain him when he heard that, closed his eyes and pondered, and made an expression: so?

Fang Xi shook his head: "It's too exaggerated. The protagonist Zhou lives in a crisis-ridden city. The city is full of zombies, and his daughter was robbed. His cruelty is to this world, because for him This world is too ruthless, so he is suffering, but still has a glimmer of hope. Fierceness is his most common expression of this world."

Hearing a long string of words from Fang Xi, Chen Yu turned his eyes slightly: "The boss is worthy of the boss. At the beginning, I told us that the daughter of an old man was abducted by a trafficker, and then he killed the story of the whole family, and ended up here. Become so delicate."

Zhao Jiamo also showed his spirituality like Fang Xi, thinking for a little longer this time, and then Chen Yu next to him felt the difference when he opened his eyes.

Previously, Zhao Jiamo was gentle and polite, and had a gentle gentleman's demeanor. After opening his eyes this time, Chen Yu first read disgust, not only for himself, but he seemed to dislike everyone and everything. Then the eyebrows frowned at a very subtle angle, and then stretched out.

Then this atmosphere was destroyed by Fang Xi's clapping hands: "This feeling is what I want, Zhao, Brother Zhao, you will definitely be famous in the future!"

Zhao Jiamo couldn't laugh or cry, and the slightest feeling he had just found disappeared without a trace. He shook his head and said nothing. Anyway, he had found this state and he didn't panic.

"It doesn't matter if I'm not famous. I'm also working now, so I want to change a better environment for my daughter and daughter."

Fang Xi was thoughtful. He thought that Zhao Jiamo was a local, but it seemed that he was still in southern Guangdong, and he could get in touch with his single father's identity...it is not easy for anyone.

Thinking of this, Fang Xi patted Zhao Jiamo on the shoulder, and sat down on Zhao Jiamo's side:

"Brother, let's start shooting tomorrow. This is a storyboard. You can take a look first."

After talking about Fang Xi, he pours and drinks himself.

Zhao Jiamo flipped through the manuscript paper in front of him, and didn't know what expression to make after flipping it.

"President Fang, this storyboard..."

"What?" Fang Xi was curious. "Can't you understand? Impossible."

"No..." Zhao Jiamo shook his head: "It's just... the first time I saw it, it was a bit shocking."

Chen Yu, who was next to him, stretched his head and glanced curiously.

On the white manuscript paper, a storyboard was drawn, but what caught Chen Yu off guard was that the storyboard was more like a stickman comic.

Yes, the body and limbs of the person on the lens are just a thick black line, and the head is a circle with different letters in the circle to indicate the identity of the character.

For example, the protagonist Zhou is a circle with a Z in it, and his daughter Lin is a circle. There is an L inside.

Fang Xi calmly said: "Oh, this, the storyboard is actually an instruction. I ask you, do you understand this storyboard?"

Zhao Jiamo nodded, who can't understand the stickman!

Fang Xi nodded in relief: "That's not it. If you can understand it, it means that there is no problem with this storyboard."

Zhao Jiamo was dumbfounded.
