The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 286 284. A new era is coming!

In order to better accelerate the subsequent program development, as one of the core designers of the Bomi mobile operating system, Pei Siqing followed Cao Yang back to the imperial capital. His main job is to help Li Lanyun and Deng Peiqiang familiarize themselves with the Hcode environment and HOME-C. Language.

  If there is something they cannot solve or have questions, Pei Siqing can help with related work.

  When Pei Siqing got into Cao Yang’s car, Comrade Liu Qiang, who was standing in front of the Bomi mobile phone factory, had an extremely strange expression on his face.

  He didn't know whether it was happiness or worry for a while.

   "Boss Cao blatantly brought Xiaosan back to the imperial capital... Is it really good?"

   Liu Qiang let out a sigh.

  He looked up at the sky, dark clouds swept over Wuhan, and there were faint signs of rain.

   seems to be heralding something.

  Maybe the future junior high, the emperor will make a huge wave...

  Can these...

   seems to have nothing to do with Liu Qiang.

  He sighed and went back to the unit.

  Now Liu Qiang only wants to make a good product with one mind, and it is not convenient to interfere in the private life of Boss Cao.

  Looking back, changing your wife seems to be a common operation for big brothers, such as Huawei?

  ...

After returning to the imperial capital, Cao Yang first brought Pei Siqing back home.

  One night lingering, two people both went to the company.

  Cao Yang began to discuss the design details of the next few games with Li Lanyun, Liu Guangran, Deng Peiqiang, and art director Ma Hao.

   "The first game, I called it Fruit Assassin." Cao Yang said.

  "Fruit Assassin?" Li Lanyun took out his notebook and started taking notes.

  The other two program bosses just hold their hands and do not speak, wanting to listen to the specific content so as to evaluate the workload of the subsequent program.

   Pei Siqing was sitting next to him, looking at Cao Yang with a smirk. She had never seen her husband look so serious.

  It turns out that this is the difference between the work model and the family model?

   "Yes, Fruit Assassin," Cao Yang nodded and said, "I first declare that, given the current network and smart phone hardware in our country, these mobile games I want to talk about afterwards are all stand-alone games."

  Currently, 2G is still widely used in domestic mobile networks.

  However, since the beginning of this year, many cities in China have started to pilot 3G networks.

  Should be in the next year or the next year, 3G networks will be popularized.

  The speed of the 2G network is really touching. It is basically impossible for you to watch videos or play online games, but it has been a qualitative leap since 3G.

  Not long after the launch of 3G in our country, it quickly entered the 4G era.

  In fact, our country put forward the TD-SCDMA standard with independent intellectual property rights in 1998, which is the later 3G network standard.

  It was only until 2000 that it was accepted internationally.

  After that, R&D officially began in 2003. Datang provided in-depth technical authorization to Putian and ZTE, and Huawei and Siemens reached a cooperation agreement to develop TD-SCDMA equipment.

  At the beginning of April this year, it began to distribute phone numbers in 8 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen and Qinhuangdao, and officially launched TD-SCDMA social service testing and trial commercial use.

  China’s 3G scene has finally been officially opened by TD-SCDMA, a domestically produced 3G standard that has undergone a decade-long process of technological maturity.

  The island countries and the United States have been ahead of us by at least 6 years.

  As early as 2000, the island countries had already used 3G networks. It is a pity that they did not have smartphones that can make full use of mobile networks.

  Starting from next year, Bomi can try to publish some simple games that require networking on smartphones.

  However, based on the current situation, Cao Yang decided to make a stand-alone game first.

"The gameplay of this game is very simple. Some fruits will pop up randomly on the screen, such as pineapple, watermelon, and banana. When the fruit appears, you can swipe the screen with your finger. At this time, the fruit will be cut along the direction you slide. open.

  It is as if your finger is a sharp weapon.

  Then in this game, the player needs to cut the fruit constantly, the more cuts, the higher the score. "

  This game is very simple. It took Cao Yang less than ten minutes to tell them clearly.

  In fact, the inspiration comes from a previous game called "Fruit Ninja".

  In other words, it was copied.

  FruitNinja is a casual puzzle game developed by the Australian company HalfbrickStudios, which was launched on the iOS platform on April 20, 2010.

The creative source of the game "Fruit Ninja" is also very simple. An employee saw an advertisement selling fruit knives on TV at home. In order to reflect the sharpness of the knife, the salesman threw the banana into the air and used the fruit in the advertisement. The knife cut the banana in the air.

Huh?

   Pei Siqing's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that playing games was such an interesting thing.

  She silently gestured with her hands, and found that the game seemed to sound pretty good.

   is at least close to real life.

  What pineapple, banana, watermelon... are all things that can be seen every day, and it has a special flavor when combined with the assassin.

   "Since we have already released an assassin game, it would be nice to make another impression on the mobile game." Li Lanyun nodded in agreement.

  In fact, in the world, the spread of Ninjas in island countries and Assassin in the West is higher than that in China.

  These are mainly attributable to these countries' spare no effort in propaganda.

  From island country TV movies to novels and games, you can often see the shadow of ninjas.

  Ninjas gradually became a cultural symbol of the island country. After the explosion of Naruto, a lot of culture has actually been paving the way for it.

  Cao Yang didn’t want to use fruit ninjas. He felt that since they were all cultural output, it was better to consolidate his own concept of assassins before the release of Assassin’s Creed.

  This point is naturally highly endorsed by Li Lanyun, a veteran Chinese culture enthusiast.

  As for Liu Guangran and Deng Peiqiang, they only care about one issue, that is, whether this thing is good or not.

  At least it sounds okay for now.

  A small game that can be explained clearly in ten minutes, the workload of the program should not be too much.

  The difficulty lies in the art performance. The key depends on the hardware support of Bomi smartphones.

  Two people looked up at Pei Siqing.

  Since she has no doubts, it means that there shouldn’t be a big problem with the phone.

  ...

   "Then "Angry Birds"" Cao Yang said.

  There is nothing to change the name of this game, just copy it and it's over.

The bird itself is a universal anthropomorphic image. Although it has the shadow of European and American style in it, since Bomi mobile phones are going to enter the international market, they must be in line with international standards. There is a " "Fruit Assassin", another western, but the universal European and American cartoon style "Angry Birds" is actually a very good choice.

   "The background of this story is very simple."

  Cao Yang walked to the side and picked up a marker, and drew a few cartoon birds on the whiteboard. Besides, he also drew a pig.

  "The game is divided into two camps: the bird and the fat pig. The player plays the role of the bird camp, and the hateful fat pig steals the bird’s egg."

  "In order to avenge the fat pigs who stole the eggs, the birds used their bodies as weapons to attack the fortress of the fat pigs like a cannonball.

  The angry red bird, desperately slammed into the green fat pig's fortress.

  The gameplay is very simple. Pop the bird on the slingshot, hit the green fat pig, and hit all the fat pigs to pass the level.

  The pop-up angle and force of the bird are controlled by the player's fingers. Pay attention to the comprehensive calculation of the force and angle, so that the fat pig can be hit more accurately.

  The ejected bird will leave its ejection trajectory, which can be used to adjust the angle and strength of the reference. In addition, the more scores of each level, the higher the evaluation will be. "

   Hearing Cao Yang's design, Pei Siqing chuckled.

  She quickly put her hand to her mouth, concealing the smile at the corner of her mouth.

  This design is too cute, right?

  As a father, Cao Yang has changed a lot.

   Pei Siqing sighed, probably because he wanted to make a game suitable for her age for his daughter, right?

  I feel that the angry birds are really cute, and they can be launched as cannonballs. How did Cao Yang come up with this design?

  Is it because Xiao Sining is more naughty recently and always likes to jump down the stairs?

  It seems that after I go back, I have to beat up the naughty baby.

  Affects Dad now. I don’t know what kind of weird games will be made in the future?

  Ah~

   Pei Siqing let out a sigh.

  Sure enough, it’s fun to play games.

  However, it can only be said that Miss Mine is still too young. As Boss Cao’s pillow, she did not realize what a terrible thing [playing games] is.

But Liu Guangran and Deng Peiqiang, who are next door, have a deep understanding.

  I think that when Deng Peiqiang first came, he was as young and ignorant as Miss Mine. In just a few years, he has been trained to become a qualified programmer—

  Hairline is gradually increasing, and there is a vague trend to catch up with Liu Guangran.

   However, it may also be because Liu Guangran really has no room to continue to improve. How can he improve if he has no hair?

"Um?"

  Except for Pei Siqing, several other people showed incredible eyes.

  Is the boss changing **** this time? !

  How come the games are all of this young casual style?

  Aren’t Bomi all taking the route of adult masterpieces before?

  Before the original meeting, several people had countless thoughts in their brains, such as whether it was possible to move the King of Glory series to mobile phones.

   But as far as the current situation is concerned, the type of game that Cao Yang said is really different from the previous one.

   "How is it?" Cao Yang closed his pen cap, turned around and looked at everyone, "Is there any difficulty?"

"Um…"

  Everyone thought for a while and looked at Pei Siqing.

   "As long as Mr. Pei says there is no problem, there is no problem." Liu Guangran replied respectfully.

  If Liu Qiang were here, he would definitely be very surprised that Liu Guangran called President Pei Siqing Pei.

  After Ms. Mine became pregnant in 2002, the new colleagues who joined the company have never seen Mr. Cao’s wife.

  Except for the ashes of Liu Guangran, most people only know that Mr. Cao has a beautiful wife. As for the specific name, these are not clear.

  Although it’s a bit dogleg, Liu Guangran is also confessing a fact—

  Pei Siqing is the person who knows smart phones best. She can know to what extent mobile phones are supported and what can be done and what can’t be done.

Miss Mine raised her head, looked at the picture Cao Yang drew on the blackboard, and smiled silently at the corner of her mouth. This is very suitable for the Angry Birds game."

  ...

  "Then, for the next game, I want to make a cool and exciting machine war game," Cao Yang said, "Have you played the Raiden series?"

"Uh-huh."

  Except for Pei Siqing, several others nodded.

  Raiden series is a very famous aircraft shooting game. Simply put, in the screen, the aircraft operated by the player will emit brilliant and changeable bullets to destroy enemy fighters and bosses in different levels.

  In this process, the player must control the aircraft to avoid the barrage.

  This barrage is different from the text on the screen sent by the user in station B. It means that because the enemy fired too many bullets and formed various patterns, covering the entire screen, it was called a barrage.

  The most famous game is that it brings players very shocking bullet effects, extremely gorgeous combat effects and super difficult BOSS battles.

Therefore, this game has become a masterpiece among the aircraft shooting games. Just at the E3 exhibition not long ago, the production company of Raiden also exhibited the new game "Raiden 3" which will be released this year, which is also the most classic in the Raiden series. payment.

  In order to let them know better, Cao Yang turned on the computer, logged in Tudou and searched, and found that someone actually uploaded the video of the Raiden 3 conference.

  Everyone looked for a while, Pei Siqing nodded slightly.

  She finally knew what it was.

  The reason for choosing such a game direction is because fighter games can maximize the screen performance of Bomi mobile phones.

  Think about it, the bullet effects full of the screen, the cool fighter image, and the effects of the different bullets it can fire...

  When these cover the entire mobile phone screen, it must be very bursting.

  In fact, the production of this game is quite simple.

  The main use is—

math.

  Yes, mathematics, all barrage can be calculated with mathematical formulas, it is very possible that a sine-cosine curve can produce a very beautiful bullet effect.

  What the program needs to do is a sub-object editing function, and the rest is left to the planner to write mathematical formulas and adjust parameters.

  The main design difficulty of this game lies in the artistic expression.

  So you can see—

  When the program bosses showed knowing smiles on their faces, the art bosses frowned silently.

   "Okay, it shouldn't be a big problem," Ma Hao said. "The key lies in the performance behind. We should hopefully do better than the current Raiden. The key is whether this new mobile phone can support it."

  Two hours ago, Ma Hao’s knowledge of mobile phones remained at Motorola and Nokia.

  Although these phones have begun to release [smartphone] models, the games that can be played in them are only pixel games such as "Tetris" and "Snake".

   But, just now, Ma Hao has already experienced the charm of the new mobile phone through the sample phone brought back by his boss.

  The colors are so rich and the expressiveness is so strong, where is this mobile phone? This is clearly a micro TV!

"Well, performance shouldn’t be a big problem," Pei Siqing recorded Ma Hao’s worries, and then answered him with a smile. What is the maximum performance strength that Mi phones can support?"

   "Okay." Ma Hao nodded.

  There are indeed many things that need to be tried to know.

  Anyway, the machine warfare game was originally intended to show the performance of the Bomi mobile phone, of course, it must be maximized.

   "Yes, let's call it "Thunder Fighter"." Cao Yang said.

  The main reason for using the name Raiden is that you have to get authorization. This is very troublesome. It's better to change the name. Anyway, the final effect is different from the airplane style.

  ...

  "Finally, I want to develop another game. This game is what I have always wanted to achieve." Cao Yang said with a smile, "The name of the game is "Monument Valley".

  Mom! !

  A few people were shocked.

  How is this Nima different from the three games Boss Cao said before?

  "Fruit Assassin", "Angry Birds", "Thunder Fighter" to the present "Monument Valley"

  This is the fourth game.

   But thinking about it, there is actually no big problem. It is nothing more than opening an additional project team, anyway, they are all developed in parallel.

As a senior art artist, Cao Yang loves the game "Monument Valley" from the bottom of his heart. Its appearance directly amazed Cao Yang in his previous life. This is the first thing that can turn the impossible in the real world into the game. Reality.

  And whether it is from the game style to the puzzle solving process and the philosophical significance displayed, this work can be called a masterpiece.

  At least in the eyes of art, it is a masterpiece.

  Monument Valley is a very interesting puzzle game. In this game, you need to rotate and drag the pattern in the game to change it into another look, leading the protagonist Ida to the end.

  ...

"In the art industry, there is a very famous mathematics painting master named Moritz Cornelis Escher." Cao Yang sat at the conference table, telling everyone the origin of the monument valley game, "Esher Er’s paintings are full of impossible structures, paradoxes, cycles, etc. You can see the application of mathematical concepts such as geometry, polyhedrons, topology, etc., which are both artistic and scientific. Therefore, some people call him the “master of visual illusions” Or'Master of Space Paradox'."

  Cao Yang picked up the pen and drew a spirally rising and connected staircase on the whiteboard.

  "You will find that no matter how you walk, you will always go up, but you can't get out of this staircase. This is a unique feeling caused by a wonderful optical illusion."

  Everyone looked at Cao Yang's paintings on the whiteboard, and fell into contemplation.

  "This game is to apply a lot of interesting graphic designs to it."

  Cao Yang spent about half an hour explaining to them how to play such a visual illusion game.

  After listening to Boss Cao’s words, art director Ma Hao’s pen fell to the ground with a clatter, making a crisp sound.

  The scene was silent.

Others may not understand the power of such a design, but for art director Ma Hao, he can apply Escher's painting inspiration to mobile games and provide such a weird but incomparably subtle perspective illusion. How to play—

  He can only say that Boss Cao is really a genius.

  And it's the kind he can't catch up in his entire life.

  "This is too powerful, right?" Ma Hao exclaimed, "If this game can really be made, it will definitely surprise the whole world."

  Now he thinks about the visual puzzle game he can make, and he feels trembling all over.

   is too powerful, this is no longer a game production that normal people can imagine.

  ...

  Cao Yang picked these 4 out of numerous game memories, in fact, there is a reason.

   Whether the game itself is fun or not to make money is second, the most important thing is that the performance and highlights of the Bomi mobile phone can be displayed through the game itself.

  For example, Fruit Ninja, need to show fast swipe, multi-touch function.

  Angry Birds, show long press, drag, and charge

  Monument Valley: scrolling, wonderful space art

  Thunder fighter, cool, finger movement operation and display game performance.

  ...

  After these games are finished, at the press conference, it is not clear whether they can surprise the world.

   is refreshing at least.

  And deeply remember the smartphone developed by Bomi.

  The new era of mobile Internet is coming.

  ...
