Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

this……

Gu Sheng didn't know how to explain to Yan Sheng.

Because the names of these two studios were all based on "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure"!

And there is no JOJO in this world.

So for a while, he didn't know how to answer Yan Sheng's question.

However!

Just when he was thinking hard and preparing to say a few perfunctory words casually.

Hearing that the little Nezha next to him actually spoke:

"Mr. Yan, we have been cooperating for so long, and you must have heard of our golden spirit,"

"[Golden Experience Studio] is our foundation and the studio we first established, which has the deepest understanding and development of the golden spirit,"

"We are committed to bringing players an innovative gaming experience, and that's where the golden experience comes from,"

"As for [Steel Chain Finger Studio], the English name is STICKY FINGERS, which is derived from the album of the same name by the Rolling Stones,"

"I think Mr. Gu meant to pay tribute to the credo of 'A rolling stone never grows moss', and hope that our team will always maintain its vitality and forward momentum,"

"At the same time, STICKY FINGERS literally translates as 'little theft',"

"Although the name is petty theft, it is intended to be a conquest in the game circle..."

Speaking of which.

Shen Miaomiao shrugged, raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"A little metaphor from a supernova."

Say it.

Shen Miaomiao gave Gu Sheng a sneaky look, her big eyes were shining brightly, she raised her eyebrows slyly like him: How about it, I understand you right?

Gu Sheng, on the other hand, was dumbfounded.

I boil! Awesome!

Didn't Nezha study finance?

How do you do so well in reading comprehension?

What kind of royal interpreter is this?

This answer is exquisite and profound, quoted from many sources, and has a lofty intention.

Simply the perfect answer.

There is a kind of beauty of "the reading comprehension has been deepened, and the author actually didn't think so much".

"Ah... yes!"

Gu Sheng is a shameless person, so he nodded to Yan Sheng when he turned his head, affirming the full score of little Nezha's reading comprehension:

"That's what it means, and it's also Mr. Shen's hope for the company."

hiss--! ! !

heard!

Yan Sheng couldn't help taking a deep breath, looking at the pair of Bi people in front of him, his eyes flashed with approval!

"Okay, okay, okay,"

"Golden experience, steel chain fingers...what a good name!"

"Mr. Gu is extremely talented, and Mr. Shen is far-sighted. Why don't you worry about the growth of the Golden Wind with two leaders, and why don't you worry about the rise of the Huaguo game circle?"

"It's an honor for Yiyou to cooperate with Golden Wind!"

Gu Sheng grinned, showing an awkward yet polite smile:

"Uh heh heh, we are also honored, and honored..."

...

Swish——

Waving his hands and watching Yan Sheng's car go away, Gu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Beside him, Shen Miaomiao bumped him with her shoulder: "Hey, how's it going? Is the explanation just now correct? Is there a tacit understanding!"

"That's right, that's right, it's absolutely right,"

Gu Sheng pointed his thumb repeatedly, full of praise for Little Nezha's reading comprehension:

"You tell me that I'm not that good. Mr. Shen is really far-sighted, and his position is really high, which is admirable. He is a role model for me to learn from!"

"Hmph! That's—"

Shen Miaomiao benefited greatly from Gu Sheng's praise, she put her head on her hips:

"Little comrades can have such a high level of ideological awareness, let's go, I invite you to drink milk tea!"

"Why--"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng waved his hand:

"Where is the leader talking about the so-called near vermilion? It's not that I have a high level of ideological awareness. The key is that the leader teaches well!"

"Yeah - I've got goosebumps!"

Shen Miaomiao's scalp was numb from the blowing, she hurriedly rubbed her arms and grinned:

"No wonder my dad makes you coax him like he's lost his mind, you're so good at flattering!"

Game Succubus, Electronic Daji, well-deserved reputation!

The two walked into the drink shop downstairs while talking and laughing.

After ordering two cups of milk tea, the two found a seat by the window and sat down.

"Any ideas for new projects?"

Shen Miaomiao sipped her milk tea and asked Gu Sheng.

Now there is still one month before the launch of the mini game plan to go overseas, the time is not short, nor is it long.

If they start the production right away, it is completely achievable to cooperate with outsourcing to develop a small game within a month.

But if too much time is delayed in project approval, the production time will be stretched.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to first determine what to produce and start the work.

"Hmm... I don't have any ideas..."

Gu Sheng also took a sip of milk tea, looked out the window, and frowned slightly in thought.

Rather than saying that he has no ideas, it is better to say that he has too many ideas.

Since we want to play PC and mobile dual-platform interoperable games, the first thing to consider is the requirements and carrying capacity of mobile games.

Because the inclusiveness of PC is far stronger than that of mobile phones, when considering dual platforms, we must first start with the shortcoming of the mobile phone platform.

But even so, there are too many game options.

He can do roguelike cards like Slay the Spire.

It can be a survival strategy game like this is mine war.

You can do simulated operations, and even do horizontal actions.

In addition, such as Angry Birds, candy crush, ski adventure, etc., can also be transplanted from mobile phones to PC.

The volume of these games is not considered large, and one month is completely enough.

The choices are so varied and varied that it can be dizzying to know how to make a choice.

And at this moment, Shen Miaomiao had a sudden whim, and looked at Gu Cheng with her small face: "Why don't you make me a carrot to protect?"

"Defend the radish?" Gu Sheng turned his head to look at Little Nezha: "Is that from Thunderbird Games? We do copyright infringement."

"It's that type, it doesn't have to be to defend the carrot," Shen Miaomiao said, "It's the kind of game where you build a fort to fight little monsters, you can defend anything."

Tower Defense.

There is no doubt that the game type of defending radish is the most standard tower defense game.

It's a good category.

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Why do you suddenly want to do tower defense? Don't you want to defend your carrot?"

"Hmm... a little boring,"

Speaking of this, Shen Miaomiao smacked her lips:

"Whether it's the design of the level, the type of monsters, or even the design and gameplay of the map, everything has changed in the later stage."

The problem Shen Miaomiao mentioned has actually existed in the domestic game market for a long time.

Because Defend the Carrot is a free game.

Therefore, in order to ensure long-term profitability, the production team has to keep updating the game.

But the problem is that the gameplay of tower defense has now been fixed. No matter how hard the production team tries, it is nothing more than iterating on the types of monsters and defensive towers, and constantly increasing the difficulty of the game, such as increasing the blood volume of monsters, shortening the travel distance, setting up scene obstacles, and so on.

However, such an update is only forcibly prolonging the life of the game, and it is not even considered an innovation, let alone a second spring for the game.

Players will only get more and more tired after playing, and then reduce the game time until they completely lose interest and get out of the pit.

This process is irreversible and has no solution.

Because that's what all tower defense games do—

Set a route for the monsters to travel. Players create defensive towers to attack the monsters, and upgrade the defensive towers to protect the target from harm.

This pattern has lasted for as many years as tower defense games have appeared.

In fact, it is very simple to make changes to this solidified game type.

For example, adding multiple upgrade branches to the defense tower, each upgrade branch route has different effects, and after the defense tower is upgraded to a certain level, it is endowed with functions such as absorption and fusion...

That's right!

What I'm talking about is "Balloon Tower Defense", which was hailed as one of the "Three Great Tower Defenses" in the previous life!

Gu Sheng's first reaction was this game.

But after thinking about it, compared with defending radish, balloon tower defense has increased the playability of defensive towers, but the significance of this innovation is actually not that great.

The monsters still travel along the established route, and the defense towers still stand on a wide range of corners, which is still a traditional tower defense.

The same is true for another item of "Kingdom Defense" among the three tower defenses.

In this way, the three major tower defenses only have the last option...

Gu Sheng secretly smacked his lips.

I'm sorry, because there are too many games in my hand, and almost every genre has one or more epoch-making works.

The games are infinite, but my lifespan is limited. I am afraid that I will not be able to finish the games in the system treasure house in three lifetimes.

Therefore, in terms of game selection, I can only specifically select those Wang Zha-level works.

I also want to play a 6 alone, but my hand is full of bombs.

Alas... Sure enough, a systematic life is so unpretentious and boring.

Just come and play with four groups of 2!

"Then don't defend the turnip,"

Gu Sheng took a sip of milk tea, and he had made up his mind:

"Defend your brain!"

...

"Defend... the brain?"

the next day!

In the Golden Wind meeting room!

Yuki covered his head with his hands, as if he was afraid that Gu Sheng would eat his brain.

"I don't understand, Director."

Earlier today, Secretary Chu called all members of Steel Chain Finger to the conference room for a meeting, saying that there was a project to be handed over to them.

Everyone was very happy to hear that.

After all, it is a newly established studio, the more idle the more uncomfortable (the main reason is that the salary is too generous, and the money is not safe if you don't work).

Especially Sato and Yuki.

Before the establishment of Steel Chain Finger, they were originally involved in the production of the "Escape from Heaven" project.

As a result, the new studio was established, and a wave of promotions came directly from the people who came, and became the leader of the studio, and also withdrew from the escape project team.

Suddenly there was nothing to do, which made both of them very uncomfortable.

Today I heard that there is a new project plan!

The employees of Steel Chain Finger Studio were very excited and entered the meeting room one after another to wait for arrangements.

The result was unexpected!

As soon as the director opened his mouth, he asked them to protect their brains!

Everyone was shocked!

Oops, Mr. Gu won't be making another underworld horror game, will he?

To know!

There are 9 steel chain fingers, and more than half of the members have done PT under Gu Sheng's hands!

The final testing phase of the game was so grueling!

The game I made scared myself half to death, which is really rare in the industry.

Now, the director is aiming at the minds of everyone present when he speaks, which is really worrying, and everyone is afraid that he has some dark thoughts.

Seeing that everyone looked terrified.

Gu Sheng knew they were thinking too much.

Hehe smiled:

"Don't be nervous, we're just going to make a small game this time, a small tower defense game,"

"A small game to stop zombies and protect your brain."

Hearing this, everyone, look at me and I look at you, the prototype of this game has already appeared in my mind——

On the twisting and winding route, zombies marched towards the end of the level in groups.

And on both sides of the road stood a variety of defense towers.

There are ordinary ammunition, fire-breathing, discharge, and nuclear bombs that need to be paid to unlock.

By the way, there are also types of zombies.

Didn't the company launch a zombie-themed Road to Survival before? Bringing those special infected people over can not only enrich the fun of the game, but also gain the players' sentimental bonus.

When the game is made, isn't it because Qin Shihuang took a plane-won the sky?

Good guy! ! !

Listening to the discussions of the employees of Steel Chain Finger Studio, Shen Miaomiao felt astonished.

You really deserve to be experienced old fritters!

You don't even need Lao Gu to speak, he can create a tower defense game with everything through discussion!

And not only the theme and gameplay are well-designed, but even the aspect of emotional bonus is also thought of.

It can be called a fully automatic game production machine.

Fortunately, this is a new project, so she doesn't have to worry about making a profit because of the high sales of the game. Anyway, the main project is just a tool list for her to increase the rebate multiple.

However!

Before she nods!

Just then Gu Sheng said with a smile: "It's a good idea, but it's a pity that the homogenization is still serious, and it's not much different from other tower defense games on the market. Do you have any other ideas?"

this……

Hearing this, the members of Steel Chain Finger were speechless.

Director Gu's words hit the nail on the head.

The serious homogenization is indeed the fatal shortcoming of the plan they just discussed.

But the problem is, looking at the tower defense games in the entire game market now, all of them do this?

We want to innovate, but where do we start?

Today's tower defense game system is like a well-cast fortress, solid and reliable, and it is impossible to start.

It's not easy to dismantle it.

"Don't be so limited in thinking." Seeing this, Gu Sheng smiled: "Your next tower defense, why is it a 'tower' defense."

As he said that, he saw Gu Sheng turned sideways, pressing the remote control in his hand.

On the projection screen behind him, a game cover suddenly appeared!

A street runs through the peaceful and harmonious town in cartoon style.

On the right side of the street, there are green-skinned zombies with wise eyes crooked and funny in shape, some with briefcases in their hands, and some with ice cream cones on their heads.

On the left side of the street, there is an area full of vitality. Plants of various shapes are firm in their faces, guarding the edge of the garden like loyal little soldiers, preventing the invasion of zombies.

And at the top of the cover is the name of the game.

Composed of PLANTS with green plant colors and ZOMBIES with tombstone texture——

"Plants can also stop zombies, and gardens can also become battlefields,"

Gu Sheng looked at the stunned crowd and spread their hands:

"Relax, let's play Plants vs. Zombies."

PS: Please ask for a monthly pass, the second update will be provided later

The back pain was unbearable. Yesterday, I forced myself to edit an extra chapter of the manuscript, but the quality was not satisfactory to me, so I deleted it.

Xiaobu thinks that he can’t add updates just for the sake of adding updates. He must first ensure the quality and then the quantity, so I would like to say sorry to readers and masters. Let me update normally this week. After I have a little rest, next Monday I will make up the updates for you parents!

Thank you for your understanding orz
