Number One Game Designer

Chapter 87: Portal

The game show in San Francisco soon became a core part of Hongyi Games' next work.

Lu Tao is busy packing up the demo versions of the two games "Eternal" and "Left to Survive".

Lu Qiuqiu worked overtime until late at night. On the one hand, he worked with his team members to produce a translation version of the page game. At the same time, he was considering which parts of Western players who are diametrically opposed to domestic players in the user's habit.

Lu Wanqi's work is relatively simple, and no special preparation is required, so she actively asked Xiaolan to arrange a team itinerary and contact the organizer in San Francisco.

What makes everyone curious is that Fang Xi’s performance during this period is so strange that he is the latest one to arrive at the company every day, and sometimes he does not even come to work without important work, and he leaves work very early, and every time When you see Fang Xi, you can see the emptiness in his body: his feet are vacant, his face is pale, and his eyes are blank.

After the two executives, Xiaoyun and Xiaolan, whispered, they came to an amazing conclusion: Fang Xi was afraid that he had packed a little girl and squeezed himself out every day?

But it doesn't look like it, because the suspicious Lu Wanqi secretly followed Fang Xi once after get off work, only to find that Fang Xi went home straight after get off work and didn't go anywhere. As a result, these people are even more confused: What happened to the boss recently?

If you want to ask Fang Xi what's wrong, you have to look at the stars floating above Fang Xi's space.

In addition to "Eternity" and "Road to Survival", which are about to be completed, Fang Xi lights up another planet next to the small planet "Killing Planet", which is called "Portal".

On the earth, if it comes to puzzle solving games, players can think of many things, but if it is said that 3D puzzle solving, Portal is definitely one of the best.

As a simple-to-make game, Portal has always been a product of the V company. Whether it is the first or second generation, it is a boutique product. The puzzles in it have been regarded as industry benchmarks. Unfortunately, because it is V company Products, so even in 2019, eight years after the release of "Portal Gate 2", there is still no news about "Portal Gate 3", but it is not surprising, who made it the V company? It is well-known that G fat can't count three.

Now, Fang Xi intends to count the portal series from 1.

And this is also the root cause of Fang Xi being hollowed out every day during this period.

To ask Fang Xi why he did this is his own consideration.

The first issue is the type of game. Since Fang Xi was invited to participate in the independent game exhibition, it is not very suitable for Fang Xi to take his company's game. But as a proud person, Fang Xi also doesn't want to take his game "Killing Planet" last year. 》Exhibition.

The game show is a grand event for players, where you can play a lot of new games with ideas and creativity, or hear related news. For exhibitors, game makers and studios, the game show is a good platform for mutual exchanges. Here you can directly exchange ideas with other game makers, learn from each other, brainstorm together, and many The idea of ​​a good game is so brainstormed.

For Fang Xi, he has no shortage of creativity. The 30-year games of the essence of the entire game in the last time and space are in his head, but this world lacks creativity!

For Fang Xi, the native games of this world have gradually become torture for him. The plot of pathological pursuit, the pathological pursuit of personality, the result is that the games here are more like movies than games. In the last time and space, Fang Xi was impressed by a company called QuanticDream. This is a French game company. The founder's name is David Cage. If most people don’t understand his name, his name is QuanticDream. Many people have heard of the work, and the most famous one is called "Detroit: Become Human".

The industry's evaluation of David Cage also said that he is more like a director than a game producer. In the eyes of some conservative gamers, whether David Cage's work can be regarded as a game remains to be questioned. This company was established in 1997. The company’s representative works from morning to night are "Heavy Rain", "Extraordinary Twins", and "Detroit: Becoming Human". For the positioning of these works, the term "interactive movie" is currently acceptable to everyone.

As for the domestic games in this time and space, Fang Xi believes that the future may be this kind of interactive movies, and at the same time they will gradually lose the interactivity of the games. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? It's unknown, but what Fang Xi knows is that this kind of game is good, but the whole market is like this, it is very boring. He wants to confuse the market and let the players make their own votes! As for the European and American markets, this is the "Portal."

In the last time and space, the puzzle-solving game has gradually declined. This decline does not mean that no one is playing the puzzle-solving game, but that the element of puzzle-solving rarely appears as a separate element in a game. The standard The 3A masterpieces have gradually become action puzzle collecting trinity games, and separate puzzle games like "Portal" and "Mechanical Lost City" have become fewer and fewer. Fang Xi can't help but regret it, but fortunately there are Show this whole new world to yourself.

An excellent game like "Portal" should also bring some inspiration to the producers of this world? Fang Xi was designing the level of the portal while guessing. Because it was designed in space, Fang Xi could directly bring out the scene in his mind, and then adjust the map at any time just like modifying the holographic projection. In this process, The little death babble also played a big role.

In the empty level, Fang Xi walked back and forth two steps to measure the distance, pointed at a baffle on the top and shouted: "The material changes, it becomes a kind of material, and it is not interactive."

"Eh," the little death **** compared his claws, and then the baffle at the top began to change from white to black. In the game, such a wall cannot be opened.

"Eh," you are too good. Fang Xi sighed that he could make these scenes change with his own thoughts by changing himself, but it was difficult to do as he pleased. Looking at it, Fang Xi came up with a new idea.

"Yeah" Fang Xi knew that his smile at this time must be like a weird sycophant, but it was also the kindest smile he could make: "Eah, do you know the staff?"

"Huh?" Little Reaper tilted his head strangely, saying clearly, what is that?

"There's a play!" Fang Xi said silently. During this time, Fang Xi realized that Yeah actually understood a lot, but it depends on whether he wants to care about you. For example, Fang Xi asked him some time ago, yeah, are you a man or a woman? The result is to directly face the flames.

And now that I don’t have a big fireball hit on my face, it means that I might have discussed this idea?

Thinking of this, Fang Xi said with a serious face: "Eh, you come to make your debut!"

"Huh?"
