The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

   Chapter 484 483. You just say cows are not cows, right?

  The distance from the mountain pass to the ancient city is very close, and it didn’t take long to reach the city gate.

  The city gate had long since collapsed, and the ditch in front of the city was also filled with yellow sand. Zi Yu entered the city from the ruins of the city wall, and the surrounding ruins were dead silent.

The streets and houses in the city are either collapsing or dilapidated. From a distance, they seem to be okay, and they are quite imposing. When you go forward, you can see that there is nothing at all. It is all sand, rotten wood, and broken stones. How can there be any gold. Silver treasure.

  There are only a few huge wooden pillars and beams whose vermilion lacquer has been peeled off, and you can still see a bit of the luxurious atmosphere of the old city.

   At this time, everyone discovered something strange——

   Although most of the broken houses are exposed outside the desert, the yellow sand in the houses is piled up to the roofs.

   Legend has it that the city was once destroyed by war, and the coalition forces attacked the palace. Just as the battle was drawing to a close, the black sandstorm buried Jingjueguo and the inhabitants of the city in the depths of the yellow sand indiscriminately. It was not until the nineteenth century that the shifting of the desert brought it to light.

  From the perspective of the scene, it basically matches the legend, but there is no mummy, presumably buried in the sand.

   "I'm really convinced by Bomi's art team. I thought that many parts of the city were just a set, that is, a picture drawn by an artist. When I got closer, I realized that it was so detailed."

  There are really ubiquitous details in the ancient city of Jingjue.

  From the yellow sand, to the house, to every brick wall, to the patterns on it, to the placement of tables and chairs in the house...

  Everything is carefully designed, and it is spliced ​​out of models, giving enough sincerity.

   "The worthy Bomi company, the quality madman, other domestic games should have half of theirs."

   "Yeah, no wonder Bomi is able to dominate as a family, even from an obscure small company to the current world number one. This kind of spirit is so perfectionism that it is outrageous."

   "Deserving of Bomi's popularity."

   "This is a company that makes games with heart, and it will definitely be rewarded by players."

   "Well, I didn't plan to buy this game, I want to say that I will experience it even after watching the anchor, but in this scene, I will conduct a profound review of my previous thoughts.

   It's really not easy to do this level of effort, and Bomi is worth my money for them. "

   The friends in the live broadcast room encouraged each other, and many people immediately opened the AIER game platform to buy the game.

  …

  Hu Bayi looked dull, but Professor Chen and the others seemed to be interested in everything in the ancient city, even a broken wall could be seen for a long time.

Hu Bayi had to remind them that this little girl, Ye Yixin, is still ill, and saving people is the most important thing. It seems that the residential areas in this city are filled with yellow sand, and we can't even find a well. Let's go to the palace. Look, there might be a source of water there.

Professor Chen patted his head: "Hey, I'm confused, it's important to save Xiaoye, let's go to the palace. The kingdoms in the desert are built where underground rivers are close to the ground, and some underground palaces have rivers running through them. The palace is usually in the middle of the city."

Everyone looked for directions in the ruins and went to the middle of the ancient city. The fat man said to Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, do you know what I want to eat most now? I want to eat cantaloupe and marsupial grapes the most, and a piece of watermelon is fine. Ah, sigh... let's not say more, the more I talk, the more thirsty I get, my throat is **** smoking, I have to jump down and take a bath when I find the underground river."

Hu Ba said to the fat man, "The Queen's life was very extravagant, and she must have often enjoyed the iced watermelon soaked in the cold underground river, but even if the watermelon is preserved to this day, most of it has become a watermelon stone, and the grapes may also be raisins."

The fat man complained, "I can't imagine that there were people living in this **** place. Next time, don't tell me about 20,000 beautiful sons. The mountains of gold and silver are piled up in front of my eyes, and I won't go into the desert. This world The most unpleasant way to die is definitely to die of thirst.”

   The anchor Zi Yu was amused when she saw this:

   "Hahahaha, the dialogue between Lao Hu and Fatpa is really funny."

   "Yes, I had this feeling when I first read the novel. I feel that Ba Sing's writing skills are really good, and he must be someone who has experienced that era, otherwise he would not be able to write such vivid words."

   "Being able to listen to cross talk in the game, this 128 feels worth it."

   The domestic price of "Ghost Blowing Lanterns: Jingjue Ancient City" is 128 yuan.

   This is also the first time that Bomi has raised prices for stand-alone games over the years.

   The previous domestic price of God of War Wukong was only 68 yuan.

The main reason for    is that Boss Cao is not confident enough about this game, and thinks that the audience base for this type of game in China is too small, and he might not be able to sell many copies by then.

   At the same time, the production cost of ghost blowing lamps is very high. Instead of losing a lot of money, it is better to increase the ticket price and get more blood.

   But at least so far, players have a good impression of ghost blowing lights.

   Many players sighed that the quality of the game alone is worth the price of the ticket, not to mention that you can listen to Fat Master and Hu Bayi talking about cross talk in the game.

  …

  The design of the entire Jingjue ancient city is a three-dimensional maze design.

  You can see the whole picture of the labyrinth below from above, but if you really want to reach the destination, you have to explore it carefully.

   This design has been done in very few games before.

  The three-dimensional three-dimensional map level design is a feature of the "Tomb Raider" series. All kinds of eaves and walls, climbing and jumping can be used from top to bottom. It is a series of games that can make you feel the charm of spatial structure design.

  The person who later carried forward this idea and deeply rooted it in the hearts of the people was named Miyazaki Hidetaka.

   He is most famous for the soul series, as well as the wolf and the eldenring at the back.

  According to the world line of the previous life, this guy's first famous work will not appear until the second half of this year.

  According to the general map level design mode, it is basically a linear plane structure. For example, if you turn on something, then the road in front of you is clear, and you can go to the next scene.

  Some of them seem to be designed as three-dimensional mazes, but in the end, design thinking is still a two-dimensional plane structure.

   The advantage of this design is that——

  The first is immediate convenience. Players don’t have to think about the route afterward and how they need to find the right path. Generally speaking, as long as they can follow the linear process of the game, there is no problem.

The second is that the performance consumption is smaller, because when you enter the next game scene, with the opening and closing of the game scene, the resources of the previous scene are not important to you. It can be removed by [Uninstall] first.

   This uninstallation does not mean uninstalling the game from the hard disk, but means that if this part is not loaded in the game, it will not cause more memory consumption, and the machine performance can be utilized to a greater extent.

   But 3D level design is totally different because it packs the whole scene together.

  You may need to return to the previous scene after opening a certain organ.

   You may need to jump off the scene above.

   You may need to climb from below to above the building.

   You may need to jump from one fault to another.

  …

   In short, you can see the whole picture of the entire underground palace from above, and when you experience the details, everything around you exists.

   What you are looking for is not limited to two-dimensional plane structures. Sometimes you need to look up at the sky and see a building.

  You need to have an in-depth understanding of the building and the surrounding environment as well as the three-dimensional structure, because they may be the key to your puzzle solving.

   This is the biggest difference in 3D level design.

   This design mode is actually more difficult, and the requirements for game designers are several levels higher than that of level design with a linear plane structure.

   is a huge test of level planning and art.

   is equivalent to requiring you to be a great architect, except that you do not need to consider physical properties, all other aspects must be considered clearly.

Because once one of the small details is spliced ​​incorrectly, it may lead to a large number of changes to the entire game scene model, so at the beginning of the game design, it is necessary to go through precise calculations, and draw the project on paper, as small as each Dimensions must be exact.

For example, a spiral staircase that rises in a circle, if it is a passage connecting the building and the surrounding rocks, then if the size is not correct, or it is cheap, it may make the passage that can go out to become a dead end, and the model and scene have no match.

   This situation is very scary.

   In short, the Ghost Blowing Lantern production team suffered a lot in the game production process this time, and gained a lot of experience.

  These experiences are different from the past, a new kind of exploration, which is both maddening and enjoyable.

  …

   Entering the ancient city to explore, the anchor Zi Yu was very excited, and almost visited the entire Jingjue ancient city.

   Of course, you will inevitably be attacked by some monsters.

   The most common is the black snake with a protruding eye-like forehead.

   In the process, Shirley Yang also died many times.

   "Why do I feel like I'm playing Assassin's Soul?" Zi Yu teased in confusion.

   "Isn't it? Bomi's game features, death is commonplace, but I feel sorry for Sister Yu."

   "The goddess of war is worried that this game is useless, and you can't kill a strange snake if you encounter it?"

   "Anyway, it would be better if you died a lot. Everyone has practiced this way."

   "Pfft... I feel sorry for you for a second."

  …

   Everyone searched the inside and outside of the ancient city of Jingjue, and found only fine sand and gravel.

  Sherry Young explained that the city was originally conquered by coalition forces, but was buried by the Black Desert near the end of the war.

   Fatty Wang was overjoyed when he heard this, and bluntly said that there must be a lot of treasures underneath. But Xue Li Yang told Hu Bayi that she had been having that strange dream again and again in the past few days. In the dream, there was a big dark hole with a coffin hanging from the hole.

  Professor Chen said that there is usually underground water under the temples in the ancient city, so everyone began to look for the temples.

   Suddenly, Hu Bayi saw a stone pagoda not far away. He felt that the stone on the top of the pagoda was very similar to an eye, but everyone said that it was because Hu Bayi was too tired recently and had hallucinations.

Hu Bayi insisted on his own opinion. He led everyone to the other side. At this time, everyone took a closer look and found that the stone on the top of the stone tower was embedded in the broken Zagrama Mountains. It really looked like a huge giant. Eye.

   This scene is so weird that the friends in the live broadcast room shudder.

   "Mom, I didn't even notice it at first, but now Hu Bayi said that, it's true."

   "This scene is really weird."

   "I got goosebumps all over my body."

   "Is Bomi's art team going to heaven?"

   "No, it should be said that Bomi's art team is going to become a monster? It feels like they have been to this place."

   "Could it be that Bomi's art team is really a descendant of the Demon Kingdom? Is the Ghost Blowing Lamp really a non-fiction?"

   "Pfft... Please pay attention to your remarks, don't spoil it."

   "Sorry, I didn't say anything, hurry up and swipe through the barrage."

  …

  Zi Yu finds a way through the ruins, and detours when he encounters a collapsed place. The level of this place is designed like a maze.

  You have to climb up and down to compare and see before you can find your way.

   After walking for a long time, I came to the middle of the ancient city. The streets here are quite wide. Although the yellow sand is all over, the pattern of the streets can still be seen.

   However, apart from the sloping black tower, there are no other large-scale buildings nearby, not to mention the royal palace.

  Professor Chen said that the palace here may be built underground, and there is too much sand in the city. Let’s go to the black tower and watch it from a height to see if we can find the entrance to the underground palace.

  The base and most of the arched stone gates under the tower are buried in the sand. This black tower is all carved from the large stones of Zagrama Mountain. It is six stories high, slightly inclined, and still very solid. In addition to the very rare building materials, there is a black olive-shaped stone ball at the top of the tower.

  Professor Chen put on his reading glasses, raised his head and looked at it for a long time, then looked through the binoculars, and said to himself, "Yes, why didn't I think of it before."

  Hu Bayi just wanted to ask him what he didn't expect, but Professor Chen squatted and got into the tower gate. He seemed to be eager to prove something, and Zi Yu hurriedly followed behind.

  The walls in the tower are densely engraved with peculiar ghost cave texts. There is a black stone statue on each floor. The first floor is a stone sheep, but there is nothing special about it. The second floor is a stone statue, about the size of an ordinary person, with a high nose and deep eyes, half-knelt in the tower. The third floor turned out to be the giant pupil stone statue we saw in the nameless town when we were avoiding the sandstorm.

   "Wow, these murals and texts are too powerful, aren't they?"

   "I admire it, the art team of Bomi's company has really big brains."

   "It's easier said than done to make things that are only described in words in novels. People have made these things that can't even be imagined in the game. Do you think it's a good thing?"

  …
