Game designer: I am making games, not charity

Andre has already begun to regret it. When Platinum Company offered him an olive branch, he rejected Platinum Company and joined Dini Company.

But the result of "Warcraft Battlefield" was dismal. In fact, there are many reasons for the poor performance of "Warcraft Battlefield".

At that time, Marina forced Andre to finish the game as soon as possible, but ignored a lot of details, and the internal test and public test were not done well, so it went online hastily.

In addition, the overall game content was almost completed by Andre alone, and Dini Company didn't know anything about competitive games at all.

It can be said that if Andre had chosen Platinum Games, then his "Warcraft Battlefield" would definitely not end up like this.

Of course, deep in Andre's heart, he also had some resentment towards Platinum Corporation.

If there is no Platinum Company, then the achievements of "League of Legends" today should be the achievements of "Warcraft Battlefield" he made.

Now naturally there is no possibility of going to Platinum Company, and Andre is not willing to just be a grassroots employee of a company.

So he spends a lot of time every day studying the games of Platinum Corporation, wanting to learn, imitate and borrow some things from Platinum Corporation, and then use them to design new games.

Until this day, Platinum released a new announcement that they will launch two unprecedented gun shooting games.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and CrossFire!
When Andre was at work, while the leader was away, he secretly watched the CG videos of these two games.

Looking at the scene of the hail of bullets inside, Andre couldn't help but feel his blood boil for a moment.

Without exception, every man has a gunfight dream in his heart, like the secret agent heroes in those Hollywood action movies, one shot at a time, fighting fiercely with the enemy in the city lanes, and finally with his own Force to subdue all enemies.

After watching the cg videos of the two games, Andre began to ponder secretly.

"The gameplay of the computer version of "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" is relatively monotonous, and the results should not be very good.

Although there are many maps and modes in the vr version of "Cross Fire", the degree of simulation is lacking and the sense of substitution is not enough.What Platinum Corporation is playing is actually the innovation of the world's first gunfight game. If I can come up with a brand new gunfight game before their game is released, then I can take away the heat of Platinum Corporation's innovation! "

In Andre's mind, "League of Legends" can achieve such good results because it has robbed him of the innovation enthusiasm of "Warcraft Battlefield", the world's first strategic competitive game.

Therefore, Andre wants to take revenge on Platinum Corporation, and let them feel the pain of having their ideas stolen by others!
However, the progress of Platinum is already very fast, and the two gun games "Counter-Strike" and "Cross Fire" will be launched in a month.

To get ahead of them, a brand new game needs to be produced within a month, which is too difficult.

Andre sighed helplessly, and was about to give up his unrealistic idea.

But at this moment, in the blink of an eye, he saw the data of "The Cowboy of the West" he was editing on his computer.

Andre's eyes widened suddenly, and a joyful smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Why do you have to make a new game? Isn't it enough to add a gunfight content directly on the basis of "Cowboy in the West"?!"

Thinking of this, Andre got up directly and ran to the manager's office to report.

……

office.

Ava with light makeup was sitting behind the desk, looking intently at the revised document submitted by Andre.

"Add hunting content? Add a field map where you can play shooting games?"

Ava muttered softly, then slowly raised her head, looked at Andre and the content manager next to her, frowned slightly and said: "Add a shooting game to enrich the game content of "Western Cowboy", this is It's totally possible, but...shooting games are not easy to make, you need to make a set of special program support, and it takes a bit too much time."

Because the end of the Xingyu Project is actually less than two months away.

In such a short period of time, it is not worth the loss to add another small game with such complicated content to "Cowboy in the West".

The manager on the side quickly said, "Actually, we can directly use the data from the original bow and arrow simulator."

Hearing this, Andre frowned slightly, slightly displeased.

But Ava's eyes lit up, and she said, "You're talking about the bow and arrow simulator we launched the year before last, but after that game was launched, the data wasn't very good."

The manager said with a smile: "The poor performance of that game is actually because the content of the game is too monotonous, but we can directly use the data. We can change the parameters of the bow and arrow a little, and we can change it into a gun game. "

Seeing this, Ava also nodded and agreed: "This content is fine. I heard that Platinum Corporation also wants to make a gunfight game. Let's make it out as soon as possible. As long as we are faster than them, our "Western Cowboy" can be said It has become the world's first gun game."

With Ava's consent, Andre's project started to be built immediately.

And Andre, of course, has also changed, from a grassroots employee to a project supervisor again.

Because the data of the previous bow and arrow simulator is directly used, it doesn't take too much time to actually do it.

In this regard, Andre was a little dissatisfied.The data of the bow and arrow simulator at the beginning was not perfect, and it was directly used for gun battle shooting, in fact, there would be many violations.

But the company's top management has already made such a decision, and Andre's objection is of course useless, so he can only start to complete the details of this shooting game.

For example, the fur and skin of various beasts, and their reactions after being shot, etc., try to be as realistic as possible.

While Andre was making these improvements, the propaganda department was not idle.

On Dini's official website, an update announcement was released.

[From now on, "Western Cowboy" will add a new field map. The field map can be used for hunting. The hunted beasts can be sold in small towns to obtain gold coins.The following is the demonstration video of the wild hunting machine of "Western Cowboy"]

Below, a video is attached. In the video, the cowboy played by the player holds a shotgun, rides on a horse, and shoots a group of deer from a distance.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the nearest deer fell to the ground. When the deer heard the loud noise, they were all frightened and fled in all directions!
Judging from the content of the video alone, this new map is extremely interesting and playable.
