Shangyang Games.
Wang Xiaobin came to the door of Lin Wan's office and knocked gently.
"Mr. Lin, if there are no problems with the DLC of the remaining two games, they will be officially released. Do you still need to tell Ye Zhizhou?"
Lin Wan thought for a while and said : "No need. He is in Los Angeles now, with time difference, and he is usually busy doing tactical analysis for the FV team, so don't disturb him. Besides, when the development content of these two DLCs was just finalized, he I’ve already seen it, there shouldn’t be any big problems, just release it.”
“You led the design and development of several old game DLCs this time. Thank you for your hard work. Please take a good rest these two weeks. ”
Wang Xiaobin was a little embarrassed by the praise and said: “Hey, I am also being pushed to the shelves. If Mr. Pei hadn’t forced me to do this work, I would never have thought that I could develop it on my own.” "The DLC for "Sea Fortress" is basically Brother Huang's idea, so I just cooperated with him."
Lin Wan smiled slightly: " There is no need to be overly modest. Although modesty is a virtue, it will also affect self-confidence."
"Mr. Pei obviously hopes to train everyone to be a generalist, so that any one person can be independent. , rather than just making a replaceable screw."
"Summary the experience this time, maybe Mr. Pei will give you more similar tasks in the future."
Wang Xiaobin nodded: "Okay, I'll get busy first."
He returned to his work station, and after a final check, he officially updated the files of "Back to Shore" and "Sea Fortress" New version.
This time the old game update plan is divided into two parts: "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" are two games that were updated earlier because there is not much content; "Back to the Shore" and The two games "Sea Fortress" have a lot of updates, and they have been delayed until this month.
Especially "Sea Fortress", which is almost a complete new plot mode.
This DLC tells the story of Qin Yi going deep into the insect nest when he was the captain of the special team before becoming the commander. The story outline was completely provided by Huang Sibo. It is said that it is similar to the game plot of "Mission and Choice" There is a close relationship.
Wang Xiaobin didn’t know what the specific plot of the game “Mission and Choice” was. He just followed Huang Sibo’s requirements and the information he was given, and carefully organized manpower to develop this DLC for warm-up in advance. .
Now that all DLC has been developed, Wang Xiaobin has successfully completed the tasks assigned to him by Mr. Pei, and he can finally relax.
"I don't know what's going on with Ye Zhizhou now. Are you really waiting for the championship to come back?"
Wang Xiaobin was concerned about Mr. Pei's decision to transfer Ye Zhizhou to Los Angeles as a tactic. This matter of analysts has always been quite controversial.of words.
The head of Yangyang Games and the head of GOG international server operations actually went all the way to Los Angeles to do tactical analysis. It was really a bit overkill.
Originally, Wang Xiaobin had many questions to ask Ye Zhizhou during the development of the DLC, but he couldn't because there was a time difference between the two sides and Ye Zhizhou seemed to be very busy there.
But Wang Xiaobin didn’t dare to beep more. After all, this was President Pei’s personal request.
"It's just an e-sports competition organized by ioi. I don't understand why Mr. Pei pays so much attention to it. Is there any special consideration?"
"Forget it, I Just do your own thing."
Wang Xiaobin released DLC for two games and then paid close attention to player feedback.
…
Meanwhile, Sloth Apartments.
Qiao Liang had just woken up. While eating the Moyu takeout delivered to his door on time, he scrolled through his mobile phone boredly.
"The GPL competition doesn't start until five o'clock in the afternoon, so this afternoon, should we play games or make a video?"
"Well, let's play games. ”
“But there seems to be no good games to play for a long time recently. ”
“The ioi global finals only has the FV team’s game on Sunday morning. It’s really. It’s so annoying to wait.”
It only took Qiao Liang half a second to give up the idea of making a new video and happily decided to take advantage of it.
It’s just that even if you try to fish, there are no good options, because there are really no masterpieces worth paying attention to recently.
Every time at this time, Qiao Liang wanted to take a taxi and rush to the Tenda Game headquarters, put a knife on his neck and threaten Mr. Pei: If the new game is not made, I will kill you!
Of course, just thinking about it, it is impossible to do this.
Qiao Liang knows very well that Mr. Pei is actually a very strict person. Every new game is made, not only to change the game type, but also to make breakthroughs in the previous game. .
It will not be like many game manufacturers. After having a successful game, they will start to copy themselves infinitely, change their skin and start making money again.
Mr. Pei’s development habits have indeed allowed him to make continuous progress in the field of game design and bring players eye-catching works every time. However, this also means that the investment is increasing. Big, time is getting longer.
In fact, the new DLC of "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" have already hinted that the next game will be a science fiction game, and the many Easter eggs and details buried in it tantalized Qiao. Liang felt itchy.
After waiting for so long, Mr. Pei’s new game is still nowhere to be seen, and the previous enthusiasm has basically disappeared.
Qiao Liang browsed the El Island website for a while in boredom, and then opened his fan group.
"Huh? "Return to Shore" and "Sea Fortress" have also updated DLC?"
"...Crazy!"
"Why are these old games constantly updated? Why don’t we concentrate all our efforts on making the new game?”
“Hey, forget it, as long as this DLC can maintain the same level, I won’t care.”
Qiao Liang complained a few times, but he knew in his heart that his idea was relatively unreasonable.
Although he wants to play new games quickly, the development time of such large-scale games is already long. Moreover, game development does not go faster with more people. One programmer can complete the work in 100 days, and 100 programmers cannot complete it in one day.
What’s more, updating DLC for old games is something only conscientious developers would do, and there’s nothing to criticize.
Qiao Liang immediately opened the two games and checked the update announcements.
Compared with the DLC of "Lonely Desert Highway" which is five times more expensive than the base game, the DLC of these two games can be said to be very conscientious.
The price of the "Return to Shore" DLC is 18 yuan, while the "Sea Fortress" DLC is still a free update as before, but with a new epic weapon.
Qiao Liang paid the money first, and then started to read the update announcements for the two games.
After all, most old players have absolute trust in Tenda. Tenda’s pricing for games will definitely be set at an absolutely value-for-money price. You can neither suffer a loss nor be cheated.
The updated content of "Return to the Shore" is mainly about the gameplay. A new "Reincarnation Mode" has been added, mainly for those who have cleared the game many times and cleared this dangerous game than wandering around their own back garden. A hardcore player with ease.
In the "reincarnation mode", a new reincarnation will start every month based on the natural month in reality.
After entering the reincarnation mode, the character's status will return to the initial state, but all monsters, drops, etc. in the map will be random within certain rules, which means that in the early stage, you may encounter more powerful monsters in the later stage. , dropping relatively powerful equipment.
Of course, there are certain random rules to prevent unknown BUGs from appearing.
In addition, players can choose to adjust the difficulty of the game at the Buddha statue, or regenerate the entire world (the unchallenged part) randomly, with a limit of seven times in a month.
If the "Reincarnation Mode" is cleared within a month, the player will be provided with a permanent character appearance, including a full set of clothing and weapons.
The DLC content of "Sea Fortress" is said to be a new plot mode and a new epic weapon. There is no further detailed explanation for the other content, which is probably waiting for players to experience it in the game. .
“It seems that the DLC of “Return to Shore” is more interesting, and even “Sea Fortress” is more interesting.The new story mode may only last an hour or two. This game is so old, so it can’t have a four- or five-hour story, right? Isn’t that just burning too much money? ”
Qiao Liang first opened the experience of “Return to Shore”.
As an old player who has suffered many times, Qiao Liang already knows the content of “Return to Shore” very well. Where can I find it? I remember all the monsters and items they dropped.
It’s not that I have a good memory, it’s just that I’ve been tortured too much.
Anyone has died in the same place dozens of times. , will be deeply impressed by this place.
Although this DLC does not have substantial game content updates, it can still be seen that the designer has put a lot of effort into this new mode and has indeed improved the game.
Although it is a random mode, different monsters, BOSS and props may cause game bugs when randomly arriving at specific places, or the entire game process may be stuck. To avoid these problems, the development team has obviously thought a lot and tried to avoid this situation as much as possible by formulating rules.
Although it is still the same map, the locations of monsters and dropped props have changed. The speed pass route is naturally not easy to use, and veteran players can advance through the entire map from the beginning with a sense of freshness, and the process is full of surprises.
Considering that it only costs 18 yuan. The selling price can be said to be neither a loss nor a scam.
It is conceivable that in the future, it will become a monthly task for old players to clear the reincarnation mode of "Return to the Shore" once a month and get a few more. The commemorative weapons and appearance can better reflect his status as a veteran player.
Qiao Liang played for a while and was very satisfied with the reincarnation mode of this update of "Back to the Shore". He temporarily saved the progress and waited. Play.
Then he opened "Sea Fortress" and checked the DLC content of this game.
Although "Sea Fortress" is based on 888's fire unicorn and rich battle modes. It is well known, but the plot of this game is definitely not bad.
When the game first came out, many players fell in love with "Sea Fortress" because of its unique plot among domestic FPS games.
Strictly speaking, the plot of "Sea Fortress" is very simple. Except for shooting, the player interacts with a little girl who can't speak. But even with such a simple plot, in Even after doing enough details, it was still very good.
At that time, Mr. Pei’s talent in game plot design had already been revealed.
Qiao Liang thought, The plot of this DLC can't be more content than the original plot, right?
If we consider the scale of the original plot and shrink it a little... then the game process should be quite short and can be completed in a while. Finished.
Qiao Liang thought as he entered the plot mode of "Sea Fortress"
