If you think about it carefully, RTS is indeed the most suitable choice for the studio's current manpower and its current capabilities.
If he were to develop an RTS from scratch, he would definitely have no confidence. Even though RTS itself does not look complicated, the design of the core elements of the game is really difficult.
Although the rts game looks quite big, in fact it is the map resources that occupy the most resources.
For Gu Feng, who has memory jelly beans, this aspect is nothing to worry about. Anyway, as soon as he eats the jelly beans, he can recall all the maps he has played before. At that time, it will be similar to the simulated home mode of management. Just follow it.
It's done.
The real difficulty in making RTS is the balance of values. After all, it is a competitive game. If the balance is not done well, no matter how well other things are done, it is putting the cart before the horse.
There are many classic RTS in previous generations, but only Warcraft and StarCraft have truly achieved the ultimate balance. And it just so happens that these two games are produced by the same company - Blizzard!
Since he decided to do RTS, Gu Feng naturally had to choose the best one to do it.
He has played Warcraft, StarCraft, Red Alert, and Empire, and can be considered a loyal RTS player.
If there was no StarCraft 2, he might still be torn between World of Warcraft and StarCraft 1.
But with StarCraft 2, a masterpiece known as the masterpiece of RTS, this is not a problem that needs to be considered at all.
Gu Feng finally had a target for the next game, and his mood immediately improved. He patted Nie Tian on the shoulder with his backhand: "Thanks, Old Nie, I have thought about it. The next game will be an RTS!"
After saying that, he stopped staying and couldn't wait to walk towards the second floor. He didn't like procrastination in doing things, so he would do it as soon as he thought of it.
The group of people looked at Gu Feng's hurried away figure and looked at each other.
"Did Lao Gu say he wanted to do RTS?"
"Well...it seems so."
"Wuhu!" the crowd cheered.
Everyone else in the store turned their heads with dissatisfaction, wanting to see which lunatic was howling.
In the Rookie Era group.
"Sky: No nickname! Chuxin Studio is preparing to make RTS for the next game!"
"What the hell? Real or fake?"
"Isn't it? When I look at Maple God's movements, isn't it talking about the dancing line?"
"Sky: You're stupid, the dancing line is in internal testing, which means it will be finished soon. Lao Gu just said it himself, the next one will be RTS!"
"Turtle Turtle! Maple God Niubi! I hope the new game will be released soon. I can't play this Era of Chicken for even one second!"
"white:fidelity?"
"sky: @white, Mr. Bai, why don't you pretend to be dead now? Dress up as a woman!"
"Dog: @white, you uncle, Lao Bai, are you going to pretend to be dead now? Dress up as a woman!"
"vv: @white, Mr. Bai, why don't you pretend to be dead now? Dress up as a woman!"
"milk: @white, Mr. Bai, why don't you pretend to be dead now? Dress up as a woman!"
"Holy shit! The masters are all pretending to be corpses? They took a group photo in the front row. By the way @white, your uncle, Lao Bai, aren't you pretending to be dead now? You are dressing up as a woman!"
…
"white:[picture]"
The picture shows a tall, thin young man with a relatively delicate appearance, but the sailor uniform he wears is really eye-catching.
As soon as the photos of women's clothing were released, there was a long list of news about vomiting.
"white:@sky, can you say it now?"
"Sky: It's one thousand percent true. I was the one reminding Lao Gu to do RTS."
"vv: That's right. I'll give Xiao Tiantian a great credit."
"dog: ok, ok, @sky, follow up the progress at all times, don't let Maple God be lazy."
When Nie Tian was reminded like this, he immediately felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders when he thought of Gu Feng, who usually came down to fish from time to time.
"sky: no problem."
Gu Feng hung a sign on the door of his office that said "Retreat for practice, don't disturb!" and locked himself in the room.
Everyone looked at each other.
"what's the situation?"
"I can't come."
Wen Meng, who was playing with the new levels of the game, took a sip of rose tea and said calmly: "Let's wait for the meeting. The design draft and concept drawings of the new game are coming soon."
"No way, I haven't heard about the new game." Cheng Qiang looked unbelieving.
"I hope what Mengmeng said is true. I've been idle these days." said a round-faced girl with a little baby fat. Her computer was currently on and she was playing with half of her headphones on.
It was a great time to play with the dancing thread.
The girl’s name is Wu Ya, she is 25 years old, and she is a character original artist. She is called a character original artist. In fact, she has never really drawn a character-related original painting since she entered the studio. There is no way, it is not available in the only four games now.
needs in this regard.
Therefore, her job has always been the easiest, and she basically just helps other people by doing whatever they can.
Gu Feng was afraid that she would be too idle, so he also found something for her to do. The assigned tasks were not difficult, so he let her draw two-dimensional characters as she pleased.
"Don't mention it, the dancing line is really fun, and the music in the desert level is so touching." Wu Ya praised from the bottom of her heart.
"The score was written by the boss, and the piano was played by the boss Clivia. Isn't it normal that it sounds good?" Wen Meng had unknowingly become a die-hard fan of Gu Feng.
More than four hours later, with half an hour left until the time to get off work, Gu Feng's closed office door finally opened.
"In the meeting, I will talk about the design draft of the new game and arrange the division of labor for the new game." Gu Feng walked to the conference room and glanced at everyone as he passed by, "Everyone is here."
The confused people looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all looked at Wen Meng, who was calm as usual.
"It all depends on what I do. Let's go, it's a meeting." She locked the screen, picked up paper and pen and stood up.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Gu Feng worked on the projector and briefly introduced: "The dancing line has reached the final stage. Next, everyone will focus on the new game. The new game we are going to make is a
A rts game.”
They are all practitioners in the game industry, so everyone here naturally understands what kind of game RTS is.
The boss is indeed the boss, he picks out the things that are difficult to do and do them.
Whether it is casual, puzzle, puzzle, or audio games, they are all types of games that have received poor market feedback. Even Gu Feng, the only action game that is relatively popular, has taken an eccentric approach and created his own genre.
So when I heard that the next game I was going to make was an RTS game, everyone's reaction was relatively calm.
As the design draft was put on the big screen, everyone saw the name of the new game.
"Starcraft".
Gu Feng walked to the big screen and began to explain.
If they didn't have a clear idea of what Wen Meng said before, "design drafts and concept drawings are coming", now they have completely seen it.
In addition to briefly mentioning the plot of the game, Gu Feng also talked about other aspects in great detail, including the settings of the arms of the three major races, building settings, and technology trees; the map mechanics in the map, such as crystal mines, gas mines, rocks, and lookouts.
Towers; basic gameplay; campaign; map editor; ladder and season mechanics, etc.
Basically, just by listening to Gu Feng's description, they could already imagine the finished effect of the game in their minds, and their interest was already aroused just by listening to it.
Then, Gu Feng began to explain the concept draft. Due to limited time, he just drew a concept draft of a Zerg springtail. He drew this just to give everyone a simple understanding of the game style.
"Okay, let me arrange everyone's work next. Wen Meng, your task is mainly to write the front-end architecture. Wu Ya, I will give you the concept draft and detailed requirements of the springtail in a while. In the past two days, you will write the original painting of the springtail.
Draw it first and let me take a look. I will try my best to draw the concept drafts of other arms and buildings in the next two days. For the time being, others should continue to finish the finishing work of the dance line."
After less than an hour of meeting, the StarCraft project was officially approved!
In the evening, Gu Lan sent him a message.
【Lan: Let me ask you something.】
【maple:?】
[Lan: Why do you want me and Junjun to start a joint venture together? With the current operating conditions of Chuxin Studio, you can definitely go it alone. 】
Gu Feng smiled, yes, he can definitely work alone, but he does not play games to make money and live a new life. He sees many things more clearly than before. As long as money is enough, in this world
There are always things more precious than money.
[Feng: Because you are my sister.]
It took a while for the other person to reply.
[Lan: What about Junjun? Because you like it? 】
[Feng: Maybe, I just don’t want to see my senior enter the entertainment industry. This industry is too chaotic and I don’t want to see her have any accidents. What’s more, my senior likes music and the entertainment industry can give her a stage.
, I can do the same.]
[Lan: You are really...]
[Lan: If I like it, I like it. If you come up, I will give you shares directly. A girl with more vanity will definitely agree on the spot, but it may have the opposite effect on Junjun. Believe it or not, even if she agrees in the end, she will definitely
I won’t ask for your shares.]
[Feng: I really didn’t think too much about this. I just wanted to try my best to show my sincerity. But now it’s impossible to change my mind, so I can only wait and see.]
Gu Feng really didn't think so much. For him, there is really no big difference between giving away 5% and giving away 15%. As long as he still controls more than 50% of the shares and ensures that he has the right to speak in the company, other shares will not matter to him.
, they are just numbers.
Now that Gu Lan said this, it seemed that he really thought something wrong.
[Feng: Sister, don’t you want to be polite to me too? 】
[Lan: I’m not too polite, but 5% is too much. Just make it what you want. One thousandth is enough.]
[Feng: It’s too little. If you make a profit of 10 million a month, then the money you get is not as much as other employees. No, no, no, let’s give it 1%.]
[Lan: It’s only one thousandth. If you want me to get more, let’s just work hard to make the company better. As long as the company earns hundreds of millions a month, I can’t earn a hundred thousand a month, hehe. 】
Gu Feng didn't know what to say, and felt warm inside.
One thousandth is one thousandth, sister, you still underestimate your brother's ability to make money.
[Feng: Sister, just wait until you become a multi-millionaire.]
