Start a company to make games

Chapter 28

In the final sound effects, dubbing and background BGM links, Liu Xiong decided to remove the BGM in the middle of the game for the purpose of saving money, and then outsourced the entire sound effects and dubbing to a small company in the software park - Yinlang Studio.

Although Yinlang Studio is not a big company, but the fee is cheap, Liu Xiong is not picky.

Anyway, Liu Xiong didn't have high requirements for the sound effect link, and most players couldn't understand why, it was almost enough.

When the dubbing work is over, the game body of "Blood Lion: Red Alert" is 90% complete.

At this time, Liu Xiong was able to use the system to check the attributes again, and then Liu Xiong was taken aback!
When the game progress was 80% before, plus the 20 attributes that I strengthened in a targeted manner, the attributes of "Blood Lion: Red Alert" are just: 164 for fun, 87 for originality, 99 for graphics, 1 for composition, and 42 for loopholes.

But now, in a short period of time, from 80% to 90% within a few days, the attributes of "Blood Lion: Red Alert" have grown explosively!
Interesting 254, Originality 133, Picture 180, Composition 40, Vulnerability 22!

Fun hurricane 90 points, originality hurricane 46 points, the screen almost doubled!
Liu Xiong was a little surprised and a little excited, this progress is too great!

Liu Xiong, who didn't understand, quickly asked the system: "Damn it! System, am I cheating? It's only been a few days, and the progress of the game content has only gone from 80% to 90%, and the attributes have increased like this?"

Different from Liu Xiong's excitement, the system replied calmly with a mechanical voice: "Originally, the ending stage is a period of rapid growth of game attributes, and in addition to the fact that all members are in the state of blue explosion, they have played 120% of the level. So The surge in game attributes is also normal."

With food in hand, don't panic.Seeing that his game attributes are so wild, Liu Xiong suddenly gained a lot of confidence.

Before, Liu Xiong was worried that his castrated version of Red Alert would not be as popular as expected.

But now Liu Xiong is much more confident. Thinking about the single-digit attribute value of the blood leopard before, the explosive attribute of "Blood Lion: Red Alert" hasn't been clearly arranged by the players?
Looking at the schedule, there are still 18 days until the game is released, and the progress should be stress-free.

Attributes exploded, listed on time, swept the market, and reached the pinnacle of life, cool!

After a little YY about the bright future, Liu Xiong came back to his senses and asked the programmer, "How many days will the game be finished?"

Kobayashi replied positively: "Boss soon, we can complete the main content of the game in at most three days. Then we will check the bugs, three days if it is fast, and one week if it is slow. After the bug detection and modification are completed, our game will be completed. "

Liu Xiong nodded. Calculated in this way, it should be possible to complete all the content of the game body one week to 10 days in advance.

At the same time, Liu Xiong took a look at his bank card balance. After another salary payment and the purchase of a shared superhost quota a while ago, there was still 15 on the card.

It is still early until the next payday, and it is not a big problem to support the return of funds until the game is released.

Seeing that everything was under his control, Liu Xiong felt very comfortable.

As soon as he returned to his office, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Please come in."

Hi Dog came in and explained to Liu Xiong why he was here.

"Boss, I came today with an idea, which has been brewing for a long time. After thinking about it, I think this idea will still be helpful to our game."

Liu Xiong asked with great interest: "Oh? What's the idea? Let's hear it, as long as it's helpful to our game and within the scope of permission, I will support it."

So Hi Dog said: "It's like this, our game currently only has a stand-alone part. After the player clears the battle, there is nothing to do."

"My idea is, in order to enhance the playability and longevity of the game, although we don't do the online part. But can we develop a map editor?"

"Allow players to use the map editor to edit terrain, adjust arms, and even import new models to make various MODs."

"In this way, the playability of our game will be greatly improved. Especially since we are an RTS game after all, allowing players to create their own maps for entertainment and extreme challenges is also a very common mode."

"Developing the map editor is not like developing the online part, you need to consider too many things."

"Even if there are any bugs, it is completely a problem of the players using the map editor, and has nothing to do with our game itself."

Suddenly Liu Xiong's eyes lit up, he actually forgot about the map editor!

If "Blood Lion: Red Alert" has a MOD development tool like a map editor, it will greatly improve the playability of the entire game!
The most famous map editor is undoubtedly the map editor of Warcraft 3. From this small artifact, how many classic Warcraft RPG maps have emerged!
3C, Footmen, Athena Guard, Huali Thief, Castle Battle, Legion War, Shinzo, Ninja Village, Guardian Sword Pavilion, God's Graveyard, Killing God, Light and Darkness, Heaven and Dragon Saber, etc., etc., etc., really want one by one If I count them in detail, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them all night.

The most famous one is naturally DOTA. The popularity of this Warcraft RPG map has even surpassed Warcraft 3 itself, and it has developed into a very developed and mature e-sports project.

Starting with DOTA, the MOBA game created later has become one of the most popular game types in the world!

All of this begins with the map editor of Warcraft 3, this little magical software.

Not only the map editor of Warcraft, Liu Xiong can also think of many enduring classic games due to MOD development-Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11, Mount and Blade, The Elder Scrolls...,

Also includes Red Alert!
The most famous MOD of Red Alert is, of course, Red Alert MOD—Glory of the Republic of Red Alert.

Many other mods are also very playable, such as the roar of the wild lion, the soldiers approaching the city, the roar of the red dragon, the end of the mind and so on.

Fortunately, Higou came up with this idea, otherwise Liu Xiong really forgot!
Because of the lack of funds, Liu Xiong always thought that it would be auspicious to be able to do a good job in the stand-alone part of the body, but it is reasonable to develop a MOD tool such as a map editor, which is completely possible.

Liu Xiong naturally fully supported Higou's proposal, so he asked, "Your idea is very good, and I decided to fully support it. So, do you need any support from me?"

Hi Dog nodded, and said: "It's just that there is not much left for the shared superhost. I want to develop a backdoor program in the game, as well as the map editor itself, plus the upcoming bug check and repair. I will definitely need to use it at that time. More performance credits."
