Start a company to make games

Chapter 144 Grapefruit Upgrade
Under the strong request of the employees, Liu Xiong, who wanted to continue the vacation for the employees, had to unlock the computer with tears in his eyes, and let everyone go back to work.

As a boss, even if you want to give your employees a holiday, it's so frustrating!

Ugh!
Allowing employees to take vacations and watch movies for inspiration is just the first step for Liu Xiong to improve Neil Automata's action skills.

Previously, Liu Xiongke still saved 83 research data points and did not use them!

Making Mount and Blade got 83 research data points, but Liu Xiong was not in a hurry to use it when he started making Nier Automata.

Instead, save the points and prepare for targeted use.

But now, after encountering difficulties in the game's action development and design, Liu Xiong already knows how to use the 83 points.

Undoubtedly, Liu Xiong used the 83 points on Yuzu.

Indeed, compared to the genius girl Fangfang, or Heigou and Xiaolin who have been strengthened with points.

Grapefruit, who takes the position of 3D design, has many deficiencies in system attributes.

Now that there are spare points on hand, and grapefruit is really needed, then naturally Liu Xiong will not be stingy with points on his employees.

First use the system to view the current properties of grapefruit.

After a recent period of self-growth, perhaps because I have gained a lot from watching movies on vacation, all in all, the attributes of grapefruit have indeed grown a lot compared to before.

Now, the properties of pomelo are:

Grapefruit: Programming 88, screenwriting 7, painting 82, composing 13.

Liu Xiong directly used all 83 points on Yuzu, but when allocating them, Liu Xiong fell into a little entanglement.

What attribute should I improve the grapefruit?

Screenwriting and composition can be ruled out first, neither of which is Yuzu's job.

But as a 3D-designed pomelo, should I program her?Or should I add a painting to her?

Liu Xiong is really unpredictable!

Undecided about internal matters, Liu Xiong called out the system and asked, "System, I'm going to enhance Yuzu's ability in motion design, so should I program her or paint her?"

I didn't expect the system's answer this time to be very weak.

"Whether it is programming or painting, it is a very important attribute for Yuzu in the 3D design position."

"This system can't give you better advice."

Come on, the system is trash!
After thinking about it, Liu Xiong decided to ask Yuzu himself.

After finding Yuzi, Liu Xiong asked Yuzi, "Yuzi, how do you feel about working now?"

With a little joy on Yuzu's face, he said, "Well, I feel good now. Some difficulties in making games before seem to have found their way after going on vacation."

Liu Xiong nodded in relief, and then asked: "What difficulties did you encounter as Neil before?"

Yuzu thought about it seriously, and then said while thinking back: "Actually, when we made it before, we didn't feel any difficulties. At that time, we always felt that making games was very smooth."

"But looking back now, it is true that my thinking was bound. I was caught in a siege, and I didn't even have the consciousness to break through the siege."

Liu Xiong asked: "That is to say, there is no problem in terms of technology?"

Yuzu thought about it, then nodded.

OK!

Liu Xiong almost got the result he wanted.

Indeed, grapefruit itself is not a programmer, and the requirements for programming are not as high and urgent as programmers.

Coupled with the help of Haigou Fangfang and others, there should be no problem in terms of technical strength.

So Liu Xiong added all 83 research data points to Yuzu's painting ability.

So the attributes of pomelo become: 88 for programming, 7 for screenwriting, 165 for painting, and 13 for composing.

Improving Yuzu's painting is not to let Yuzu work as a part-time original painter, but it is indeed very helpful to Yuzu.

To be reasonable, drawing with that pen on the manuscript paper is painting.

Making 3D models with the mouse is also painting!
After the level of painting is high, you know more about perspective and frame. Isn't it beautiful to make games?

After taking a vacation and adding points, Feimeng's process of making Neil is once again on the fast track.

The journey went smoothly, and the development progress of the game reached 80%.

Then Liu Xiong checked the properties of the current game.

Before, Neal's attributes were: Interesting 399, Originality 278, Picture 445, Composition 612, Vulnerability 75.

And now:
"NieR: Automata": Interesting 612, Originality 444, Picture 591, Composition 912, Vulnerability 17.

What surprised Liu Xiong were two places:
First, Liu Xiong emphasized that Neil's music must be great, and Fang Fang lived up to expectations, making Neil's music reach the pinnacle of Feimeng's game so far.

In terms of the attribute of composition alone, it even directly surpassed the No.2 riding cut by nearly double!
The second is the rapid decline in vulnerabilities.

Originally, when the development progress was 50%, perhaps because it was the first time to make such an action game, Neil's vulnerability was not low, reaching 75 points.

But now, when the progress reached 80%, the bug dropped to 17 points.

This shows that the programmers of Feimeng have mastered the rhythm of making large-scale 3D action games after the initial adaptation.

After trying out the current prototype of the game, Liu Xiong also got a very good gaming experience.

Comfortable!

Especially the action scenes!
Even if it is only a semi-finished product, Liu Xiong is still intoxicated by the palace-level music produced by Fangfang.

This kind of action scene is worthy of the title of the work of Platinum Studio on Earth!

Such a carefree and handsome action design is called Neil!
After seeing Neil's attributes now, Liu Xiong no longer hesitated when he strengthened his focus.

40 attributes, directly added to the composer attribute!
From the very beginning, Liu Xiong's goal was to make Neil's music a classic among classics.

Now that Fangfang has laid a good composition foundation for the game, Liu Xiong naturally wants to make the composition more outstanding!

Liu Xiong finished adding 40 points in a single brain, and then he was taken aback.

Huh?
How come?

When I asked the system, it turned out that because of the recent game production, the points that Liu Xiong can carry out targeted enhancements have also increased.

Originally there were 40 points, but now it can be increased by 60 points!

Not bad, so Liu Xiong continued to add the remaining 20 points to composing.

In this way, the attributes of Nier Automata become:

"NieR: Automata": Interesting 612, Originality 444, Picture 591, Composition 972, Vulnerability 17.

The composition is almost over a thousand.

Just after using up the points for targeted enhancement, Ye Shen found Liu Xiong and reported his work progress to Liu Xiong.
