The Winner is King [Quick Wear]

Chapter 204: Unpromising real daughter 20 finished

Junxin Information Technology Co., Ltd. has experienced two years of precipitation after the fire of “Glimmer”.

In the past two years, the old works have engaged in many activities.

“Crybaby” has a creative MOD production competition. The little crying bag has been released for so many years, and its popularity has endured for a long time. Players have developed a variety of MODs on the basic framework of the little crying bag, which maintains the vitality of the game. So, Gu Junxin simply launched a MOD Grand Prix to reward outstanding MOD makers, and she even boldly recruited several makers to join her company.

The DLC of “Xingyue Lakeside” continues to be released, adding different plot characters. Now this series is handed over to the young team in the company. Gu Junxin is still responsible for the plot script and final review, but most of the things have been entrusted to the team.

Under the efforts of Lu Xingzhou, the e-sports competition of “Glow” was finally successful after many obstacles. Lu Xingzhou did a good job, but after two competitions, he suggested Gu Junxin to set up an exclusive e-sports operation team. Although he can do these things and do them well, Lu Xingzhou prefers pure technique.

The three old games are still the main source of income for Gu Junxin’s company. From the creation to the present, the three works have sold 10 million copies. In the early stage, the domestic sales could not be beat at all, but after two years, the domestic sales are constantly increasing.

This result is gratifying, which shows that the domestic stand-alone game market is expanding, and that as long as you continue to come up with good works, you are not afraid of making money.

In addition to maintaining the old works, in the past two years, the company’s most important technical personnel have been polishing the game engine, and by the way, they have improved their technical strength.

Gu Junxin is laying a solid foundation for the next work, and she wants to make a big vote.

But the outside world has not been optimistic about this.

There have also been people in China who have proposed independent research and development of game engines, and more than one has tried it. It’s a pity that borrowing other people’s existing engine frameworks can’t make games well, so I start building from scratch, is it reliable? Can you see what is made?

This is a difficult challenge, and those who have done it have failed miserably.

Although Gu Junxin has shown her abilities many times, she is still not favored.

There are a lot of bad people who think that Gu Junxin is afraid that she will lose all the money she has made in the past few years. Even her fans have no confidence and dare not brag.

“If you want to make a big game, a game engine that suits you is a must. Besides, the game engine is not mysterious, nor does it involve too advanced technology. Don’t think about him too far away.” Gu Junxin is confident full.

She started a live broadcast after a long time, and chatted with fans about the planning of the new work.

“My game has been planning and preparing. This project is very big, and the preliminary preparation will take a long time. But the works of our company’s youth group have entered the testing stage. I hope everyone can support it.”

The main reason for this broadcast is to promote the works of the company’s youth group.

A game company should have output every year, and the company cannot have only one producer. Gu Junxin was handed over to Lu Xingzhou, and Lu Xingzhou was delegated to his two brothers to set up a youth group.

They lead the creation of two games respectively.

One is a highly difficult action game with a soul-like style, operating a hard-core niche product. The other, a city simulation game, started a doomsday infrastructure.

Gu Junxin is very satisfied with both games, and the finished products are excellent in her opinion. In particular, these two games are still produced through their own game engines. Through experiments with two games, they further refined the engine. The two works are of great significance, and Gu Junxin’s publicity is also very hard.

But although An’s fans shouted that there would be a lot of fans, they were actually skeptical of both.

What is Gu Junxin’s status now?

Born as an independent producer, he has made three games, and the sales of all three have exceeded 10 million.

Of course, works from her company will attract attention, but without Gu Junxin’s signboard, players’ desire to buy has dropped. After the official sale, the popularity and sales have been greatly reduced compared to the past.

Some people put Gu Junxin on the altar, and there are such a group of sunspots who see the sales of the new work are no longer than before and shout “muddy”.

But Gu Junxin’s company held a celebration banquet. .

Although the sales of the two are not comparable to the previous achievements, they are also among the best in the world compared with the new works of the same period. Compared with domestic counterparts, it is undoubtedly the winner.

*

The next morning after the celebration banquet, Gu Junxin called the members of the programming team and the art team for a meeting.

Everyone who walked into the meeting room struggled to contain their excitement, knowing that a new project was on the way. For two years, all the work was in preparation for the next task.

Gu Junxin and Lu Xingzhou entered the office, and they both held a thick stack of documents in their hands and distributed them in person.

“One copy per person, I have the concept map and main design of the new game in my hand.” Gu Junxin began to send information, “You, Mr. Lu, have sent the work schedule of each team member. The planning is well done, and I hope everyone can complete it as planned. ”

Gu Junxin wrote five big characters “The Journey to the West in the Tang Dynasty” on the blackboard in the office, with the simple English name TotheWest.

Everyone was a little stunned, excited and a little disappointed.

I thought it was an original, but it turned out to be a Journey to the West IP?

As you can see from the name, this game should be an adaptation of the classical masterpiece “Journey to the West”.

Is there still less adaptation of the Westward Journey IP in the game industry? Except for a few online games, the effects are indescribable. Most are for quick money. Not long ago, a box office hit the Westward Journey IP animation movie released a game, and it also landed on the PS4 platform. The quality of the result is so poor that no one wants it for free.

Although this IP is classic, it is also too flooded. Whether players have confidence in the entire Westward Journey IP is a problem.

Why did Gu Junxin choose to do the theme of Journey to the West?

Everyone has some doubts in their hearts more or less, and wants to make some comments, but they know everything, so it is not appropriate to speak at this time.

Gu Junxin snickered to himself.

She did choose the IP of Journey to the West, but just looking at the name might feel unreliable.

This choice is made through various considerations and investigations. Gu Junxin not only wants to make a game to show domestic culture, but also does not want to give up overseas markets. Few people in the overseas market of martial arts and Xianxia get it, and the risk of choosing classic IP is less.

Of course, old IP also needs new stories. In order to tell the story well, she didn’t even know how much hair she lost.

“Everyone open the concept map, let me talk about this game.” Gu Junxin lit up the PPT and officially started her speech.

“Datang Journey to the West” is an open-world RPG game that combines a variety of gameplay.

The story of the game is adapted from “The Story of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty” by Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, rather than the classical novel “Journey to the West”. Of course, the content of the game has not only changed and integrated real historical stories, but also added classic novels such as “Journey to the West”, “The Romance of the Gods”, “Strange Tales from a Liaozhai” and “Zibuyu”, and also referred to “Shan Hai Jing” and so on. information, re-interpreting an adventure story.

The main story is very simple. Master Xuanzang, an eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty, wanted to leave Chang’an to go to Tianzhu to seek the scriptures, but was blocked by the emperor Li Shimin, and had no choice but to smuggle. Finally, the truth is found, and the scenery returns home.

“According to “The Story of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty”, Master Xuanzhuang passed through more than 200 city-states and countries in the Western Regions. These countries and regions have to be made. I have already drawn the overall concept map and completed the 3D model. Of course, we have to do There are more than 200 countries and regions, the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the regions that have not been mentioned in the original work should be done well. Because this game is free, players can take the adventure route they want.” Gu Junxin said.

Players can follow the direction supported by the main line, or they can choose various strange paths. On these roads, in addition to the scenery, there should be no less cities and villages.

Every country, every city-state, and even different villages must show different customs and customs and reflect their culture. Let players always keep fresh while exploring the world.

The people in the art group were shivering, and they felt like they were going to die of exhaustion.

The construction of the game scene can be said to be one of the most time-consuming projects. After a month of hard work, the players ran over in a few seconds… A lot of details that they bothered about were not noticed by the players at all, but they had to do it.

I don’t know if there are 200 maps, how many small scenes have to be divided into the middle? There are only 15 people in the art group, which is not enough no matter how you look at it.

They feel that they will live in purgatory mode for some time to come.

The program group isn’t much better either. They feel that the day when their hair falls out and goes bald early will come sooner.

“At least 20 subplots will be arranged in each region.”

That is more than 4000 branch lines.

Most players don’t choose a location to clear a mission, they do it when they pass by. But when they make games, they really have to do it one by one. Just clarifying the logical relationship between the branch line and the branch line, the branch line and the main line, the interaction between them, and the conditions for the trigger and completion of the branch line are enough to damage the brain cells.

Gu Junxin has higher requirements.

“The same type of games have integrated various gameplays, and we are no exception. It is impossible for players to experience the same game mode in more than 200 places, and it will be very tiring just to run tasks. Therefore, different types of game methods are appropriately added. , develop different game mechanics. Anyway, do it like the top open world games today.”

The programmers, Alexander, on the one hand, they knew the game was going to be a classic, on the other hand, they felt like they were going to die.

Gu Junxin is very optimistic, of course hard work will be hard, but it will not be too tired.

“The company’s game engine is still very powerful, and it is not too difficult to make this game. Lu Xingzhou and I will join everyone and work together. We will strive to complete it as soon as possible.”

The employees applauded and collectively said words of self-encouragement.

Some people began to think about a very important question in their minds – 200 countries and regions, no less than 4,000 sub-plots, and the main line has not yet been calculated. How big is the game capacity? ? !

150GB is probably not enough.

Can the hard disk of PC platform users support it?

“The Journey to the West of the Tang Dynasty” has been controversial since the concept trailer was released.

Loyal fans took the game to the altar when the development progress was less than 30%, while the sunspots ridiculed Gu Junxin that if he took too big steps, he would definitely get into trouble.

After two years of fighting, Gu Junxin, who has been silent for a long time, finally released the official trailer at the Global Video Game Awards Ceremony.

Majestic and nuanced scenes, real, smooth and natural characters, ghosts and ghosts, splendid fighting, rich game content, and nationally-characterized soundtrack, “The Journey to the West in the Tang Dynasty” is about to be released. all eyes.

The winner seems to have been decided, and the sunspots have changed their angle. They began to tear up the pricing of “Datang Journey to the West”.

[With only 60GB of content, how dare you sell it for such an expensive price? 】

[The price is at the 3A level, and the content is really not worth it. 】

The price of 248 yuan is quite normal for a foreign masterpiece. But for the vast majority of domestic players, this pricing is very unfriendly.

The voices of doubt remained until the game was released.

Until the purchase and download are finished, all the people who spend money are really fragrant.

[How did Gu Junxin compress such a big game to 60GB alive, the key is that the picture quality has not been damaged? 】

At this time, there is talent science. Gu Junxin mastered his own compression technology, which was reflected in the period of “Xingyue Lakeside” and “Twilight”. Today, the technology is even more critical.

[My Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Chang’an, is really beautiful. Isn’t it fun to run missions in Chang’an? What’s the main thread doing? Couldn’t bear to leave. 】

[Failed to smuggle, and was put in prison. How did the brothers escape from prison? 】

[I watched the scenery all the way and forgot the main line. 23333]

[According to the party, Gu Junxin really checked a lot of literature and materials when he played the game, and very seriously restored the customs and customs of all parts of the Western Regions. 】

[The warrior monk Tang Sanzang is too handsome! It’s just that there is no Sun Monkey, it’s too lonely to travel west alone. 】

[Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha can all be unlocked, you won’t even enter the night mode, right? 】

“The Journey to the West of the Tang Dynasty” is divided into two modes: day and night.

During the day, the male protagonist mostly walks in city-states and villages. The male protagonist is a polite warrior monk who abides by the rules and regulations of Buddhism. Problem-solving is mostly based on resourcefulness and rarely hands-on. Game types play tricks, that is, during the day. Cards, chess, tower defense and other game modes are integrated into the plot, and even various types of mini-games can be interspersed with the plot.

At night, it will enter the magic hour. The male protagonist transforms into the Demon King Kong, and manipulates the red lotus of karma to slay demons and eliminate demons. The game enters action game mode. The beloved Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing in Journey to the West will all appear. Of course, they are all bosses that need to be surrendered at the beginning. After surrendering, they will become the summoned beasts of the protagonist and fight with the protagonist.

Two modes exist and alternate with the passage of time in the game. Players who like it can freely choose whether to enter different modes.

In terms of gameplay and fun, “Datang Journey to the West” can easily get full marks. And the picture, sound effects, plot, all aspects are not picky.

The quality of the game has no choice, and players are of course praised.

“Datang Journey to the West” cow! Gu Jun’s heart! Anyway, blow it up.

Game sales, initially based on basic games, were a little slow, but the numbers continued to climb. Eventually the increments started to skyrocket on the fifth day of release.

Gu Junxin believes that the final result will not be worse than the previous works.

Gu Junxin invited all the staff to have dinner to celebrate the big sale of “Datang Journey to the West”.

The programmer who worked hard for two years was drunk and even babbled in the end. The employees were overexcited, but the managers of the company stayed awake and were ultimately responsible for sending them home one by one.

Unlike the employees who were so excited that they cried, after Gu Junxin realized her dream, her mood remained calm.

After the celebration, she returned to her small villa at Akagi University alone to pack her things and prepare for the next relocation.

The small studio near the school has been sold, and she rents an office building in the science and technology park.

The small villa rented for free should also be returned to the school.

Over the years, Gu Junxin has been working as a graduate student, successfully completed her studies, and obtained a doctorate degree. The school’s Entrepreneurship Guidance Office cooperated with her very well in the later period, and the small villa really let her use it now.

Today, the company will continue to expand, and this small place can no longer accommodate it.

The future development is still a challenge.

“The Journey to the West in the Tang Dynasty”, a masterpiece of 3A level, made by Gu Junxin. Feedback is also very good in all aspects.

Her dream seems to have come true.

Whether the game can become a classic, we can only wait for time to prove.

While waiting for the results, she will continue to produce and continue to make more and better games.

For a game company, there is only one 3A work to support the scene, where is enough? Games from other producers will also be scheduled.

She already has new ideas in her mind, and she has to try many things at the technical level.

After realizing the dream, there are more ideas, new challenges and new dreams are born.
