Chapter 40 Development Phases

That night, Chen Tiancai took his employees to have a meal, which was to celebrate the opening of Ange Network, and he also had the idea of ​​bringing the employees closer together.

An Qinghuan, who had finished the class, also participated, and even held back a lot of wine for Chen Tiancai, which made the two female employees of Zange who didn't have much network feel disappointed.

When he got home at night, Chen Tiancai saw that his parents were still watching the bitter drama, but his father had an expression of lovelessness, obviously shocked by the plot of the drama.

Seeing Chen Tiancai coming home, Chen Ruguo quickly got up, trotted to his son, looked Chen Tiancai up and down, and praised: "Tsk, my son is different. Look, he looks more energetic and handsome on his first day as a boss. Already! Like me!"

Chen's mother got up immediately, took off her coat for Chen Wenquan, and asked, "Have you eaten outside? Don't be so harsh on the employees, but don't always be a good person. If you are punished, you will be punished, otherwise you will not be convincing."

"I've eaten, Mom." Chen Tiancai put on his slippers, and continued, "Our games are not that complicated, and we are usually very busy, so we don't have so much time to intrigue."

"Besides, we are all young people with the same goals, so we get along very well." Chen Tiancai added.

"My son has grown up!" Chen's father put his waist on his face and said with a gratified expression, "I think back when I started my business, people at that time were very motivated. It seems that young people today are not as good as ours. Time difference."

Mother Chen spat at her husband and said, "You old Jiang is still competing with young people. Of course, each generation is better than the next generation. Otherwise, history would have turned backwards!"

"Okay, let your son have a rest! The company just opened today, so he must be very tired." Chen's mother asked Chen Tiancai to go back to his room, then walked into the kitchen and shouted: "There are some cherries and other things for you to wash." Take it in."

"Okay!" Chen Tiancai responded, and then sat next to the computer to think about various details of the new game.

Thanks to the powerful capabilities of the upgraded world editor, the graphics of the new game are of course guaranteed, which can basically be similar to the 3D games produced by the virtual engine.

However, the choice of art effect made Chen Tiancai hesitate.

Choosing a realistic style is naturally the best choice, but the game screen will be too violent, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to promote it in the domestic market.

But if it involves the element of zombies, it will lose the excitement if you make a more cartoon-style picture.

"It's a good thing there is a steam platform, otherwise it would be timid to start a game. The elements of the new game are destined not to be widely circulated in China, so let's abandon the cartoon style."

Chen Tiancai thought for a while, and decided to use a realistic style.

And even if it is to take care of the domestic market, according to the current size of Anthem Network, it is difficult to win the domestic game version number, so it is better to do it freely.

"Anthem" has entered the end of its life on the steam platform, and now has a total of 170 sales, which is a bit more than Chen Tiancai expected.

However, "Song of Hymn" is a stand-alone game with a sketchy nature after all, and Chen Tiancai is already very satisfied with this sales volume.

These sales also brought Chen Tiancai more than 600 million yuan in funds. Although this amount of money seems to be a lot, it is really insignificant when thrown into the bottomless pit of game development.

What's more, Zange Network still supports more than 1000 people, and the more than [-] million can support the expenses for about two years.

But for a new game, the money is more than enough.

"Let's start building the game framework!"

Chen Tiancai opened the world editor and began to set the tone for the soul of the new game.

The most important thing about shooting games is the feel of firearms. These things are not like other types of games under the long development history of shooting games. There are already complete sets of templates for sale.

But Chen Tiancai felt that these templates were a bit rigid, how could they reflect the superiority of the world engine if they were used.

But the world engine is still in its initial version, and it would take time and effort to build a new shooting game model from scratch.

So Chen Tiancai continued to take advantage of the world editor and began to build his own shooting game template fully intelligently.

This process is actually quite boring, it is a process of continuously generating instructions and then optimizing them.

As for the authenticity of the shooting feel, Chen Tiancai decided to use the Call of Duty series so that it looks more realistic without being too difficult.

Of course, Chen Tiancai was going to increase the difficulty of some more overbearing firearms, such as sniper rifles and large-capacity firearms.

Although the difficulty of the game can stimulate people's desire to win, it is difficult for many shooting games to play and understand the shooting feel that is too difficult.

On the difficulty curve in the game, Chen Tiancai felt that Lao Ren was the most qualified representative, that is, he had the difficulty of the game to get started quickly, and also had the master part that could be advanced to explore.

The music part of the new game was naturally contracted to Shen Jianxing who was still in Yuzhou. Chen Tiancai had already sent him the first batch of money for recruiting troops, totaling 200 million.

In fact, it is the scale for Shen Jianxing to set up a music studio, with about five people, which is enough to support the music requirements of Zange Network.

As for the art, in order to save time, Chen Tiancai directly bought some ready-made zombie templates, and then handed them over to the art team led by An Qinghuan to optimize them to fit the overall game style.

The rest of the art work is the original painting and textures of the protagonist, as well as the 3D art model of the map.

The battle royale game requires a huge game map. Chen Tiancai has already figured out a way to do this, which is to find satellite maps of several cities and transfer them to the world editor, then cut them up and finally combine them together.

Of course, this is not as simple as building blocks, because the combination of various terrain and landforms is very important, and even affects the balance and fun of the overall game.

So this work will also take at least a few months.

The remaining problem to be solved was the single-player plot of the game. Chen Tiancai sent one of his general ideas to the copywriter, and then let the copywriter play freely first, and finally he chose the most suitable one.

"A long way to go!"

Chen Tiancai thought about these things, and felt that it was still very complicated to do, but he was not alone now, and An Qinghuan and Shen Jianxing were there to help, so Chen Tiancai was determined to take the route of controlling the overall situation.

Chen Tiancai plans to throw the things done in the world editor into the world engine after a while, and let the staff optimize them according to the needs of the game.

So Chen Tiancai didn't need a lot of work now.

To use an analogy, the current game of Zange Network is to carve wood carvings. Chen Tiancai first uses the world editor to carve out the overall prototype of the wood carvings, and then let the employees take care of the details.

As for Chen Tiancai, he only needs to ensure that the final appearance of the wood carving does not deviate, and that it appears as expected.
