Video Game Designer

One month later, just after the Spring Festival, the employees of various ministries have returned to Jinling from north to south. Although they have just started to work, the employees of Tianhe Network who have returned to their posts still have a very happy mood.

The various year-end bonuses issued before the Spring Festival, as well as the project dividends, and the corresponding benefits, simply make them unable to find the North.

In the game dividend alone, including TINGK and Longzu, Tianhe Network has distributed a total of 1 billion yuan in bonuses and project dividends. In addition, it includes Shanghai’s TINGK and Longzu’s two studios after the Spring Festival. It is also about to change to a new working place and move to the new Tianhe Building.

Chu Chu's own words also bought a house in a community next to the company's new building. The original house was after all close to the Qilin Park, but it was too far away from the new office address Tianhe Building.

The employees of the headquarters have not yet moved. The first move to the new building is the motion capture studio located in the second phase of Kirin. Although this building looks quite large for Tianhe Network, if it is really to be allocated, the actual It's almost the same.

After all, as a well-known gaming company, it is obviously not enough to fill up employees.

The canteen, cake shop, convenience store, surrounding self-operated shops, as well as the cafe and dessert house, all need to be prepared.

At the same time, there must be places for leisure and entertainment, such as libraries and entertainment halls.

Counting the special reception layer, and the display area that shows the culture of the Tianhe online game, in fact, it is quite easy to fill up.

Moreover, after moving into the new building, the corresponding visiting area can also be opened to the outside, instead of having a tight place as in the Kirin Park, it is also necessary to separate a floor as a player's visiting area.

With the increasing size of Tianhe Network, the impact on overseas players is also increasing. It is a bit exaggerated every week, but every month, some players from all over the world will form a group to brush Tianhe Network. It is true.

Moreover, when it comes to media interviews, even Tianhe Network does not even have its own release hall. It is a little inconvenient to borrow the conference venue in the park every time.

"Suddenly want to relocate to a new working environment, there is still a little bit reluctant." Still in the office of Kirin Park, joking with Cheng Yu who reported to Chuhe.

"Come on." Chu He turned his head slightly and glanced at him.

What kind of pretends that I have come to Tianhe Network for a full year, and I don’t want to.

"But even if you like the paper version of the material yourself, I will prepare an electronic version for me." Chu He grabbed the material and watched Cheng Yu sigh.

Everyone's game producers have their own hobbies. This is clear to Chu He. Similar to game planning and information, Cheng Yu likes to use the paper version.

But I don't like it. The paper version looks too troublesome. A booklet with dozens of sheets of paper can't be found. I don't have a catalog for finding a thing. If I don't know, I have to turn it over for a long time.

"The art design is okay, but have the skills of various heroes been tested internally?" Chu He asked towards Cheng Yu.

"The basic effects have been tested, but various combinations, as well as special trigger conditions, will still produce BUG is still being tested." Cheng Yu nodded and said.

The hero's art style is basically based on what Chu He had ordered before.

DNF does not adopt the style preferred by Asian players, nor does it adopt the European and American styles similar to World of Warcraft.

Instead, it is similar to the cartoon style styling that is biased towards the Japanese, and at the same time, it is determined according to the background of the hero in the game to decide whether it is biased to a specific style.

For example, the swordsman heroes mentioned earlier in the example of Chu He and Cheng Yu who can shuttle soldiers are biased towards the image of swordsmen in Chinese martial arts novels.

As for balancing this situation, the team will specifically invite people for internal testing.

Before the test, regarding the balance of this kind of thing, it is possible for the internal staff to perform a trial test by themselves, and then modify it according to the data.

I want to really investigate whether a hero is strong or weak. Only after the game is released, players have a certain number of matches, and big data can be collected to determine whether the hero is strengthened or weakened according to the situation.

"In addition to the later promotion of the game, you can start with e-sports." Chu He said towards Cheng Yu.

Although it was not aimed at e-sports at the beginning, it is undeniable that this is indeed a good entry point for publicity.

"It's a bit early to publicize this, counting the completion of the game, and the internal testing, and the second revision. In terms of the current development progress, I think it will take at least another half a year." Yu Xiang said to Chuhe.

"Time doesn't matter, just grasp the quality of the game. What we have is money. We don't need you to push the construction period to the market to withdraw funds." Chu He shook his head when he heard Cheng Yu's words, but then thought of something added: "Of course, I don’t ask you to rush to work, but don’t grind the foreign workers. I don’t want to hear you say you want to skip the ticket, and you can’t get this kind of excuse after only half the progress."

Cheng Yu couldn't help but laugh and said quickly: "Come on, Mr. Chu, absolutely not. Even if I want to grind foreign workers, the other people in the project are not willing. The bonus in the first half of the year is distributed with the project, and our project team didn't enter the top ten. There aren’t even many rivers and lakes and Survival Roads. Their operation team is more than anything. Last year, they were also responsible for the three-month DNF operation rotation. If this year is still a foreign worker, it is estimated that the project dividend will completely miss us."

Sounds vulgar, but this is more real.

After all, for most game industry practitioners, the biggest wish is to make big money while making games that players praise.

As for those who say that I don’t want to make money, I just want to make my favorite game, even if the game does not make money, I am happy.

It is estimated that 99 out of 100 such persons are all in these situations.

Either it's just talking, or it's a hobby that doesn't expect this to feed itself, or a mine at home doesn't care about gaming revenue.

As for gamers who have no mines in their homes and no source of income, they still don't expect the game to bring him income, so probably... well, this kind of people is not a good comment.

"If you want the bonus to be shared with the project, you should make a good game." Chu He looked at the small print on the planning book and felt a bit of a headache. His eyes were so special.

"In terms of hero design, you can link the wilderness darts and DNF, as well as the rivers and lakes, and the murderous prototype. Anyway, it is all their own game IP character authorization. It is easy to say that it is enough to look at the price." Cheng Yu said.

"Also send me another electronic copy~www.NovelMTL.com~ I am too lazy to read this booklet, my eyes are full of flowers." Chu He threw the booklet on the pile of documents next to it and yawned Said.

"Okay." Cheng Yu nodded, but then thought of something: "Yes, Mr. Chu, ask a lot of words, and then there is a new action at the headquarters? Want to develop a 3A-level game similar to the wilderness?"

During this time Cheng Yu also heard some wind noises, and he had been involved in the development of the wilderness dartsman before. Although he was not in charge of things, he also learned a lot.

Don't look at him as the main project of Penguin's Diablo Westward Tour, but he really doesn't have much experience in this international 3A project.

Or ninety-nine percent of domestic game producers have no such experience.

If he can, he certainly wants to participate in this project rather than League of Legends.

"Relax, I'm sure I'll be able to do it. I will do a good job in the League of Legends project. I will draw a batch from your team, and the new game is still in concept, and I have not decided to set up a project." Chu He knew when he heard Cheng Yu's words He wanted to say something, and said with a smile.
