Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Chapter 3



Back in the dormitory, the three roommates were chatting there.

The conversation was all about post-college, after all, they were also seniors.

It's almost time to think about the rest of the story.

As soon as Chen Xu returned to the dormitory, he opened his laptop.

Because it is used for game development and uses the official game editor, their computers are relatively high-spec, and they are also relatively thick.

It's very different from ordinary light business.

I've already decided on the game I'm going to develop next.

But before that, he still needs to familiarize himself with the editor of this world, after all, memory potions have a time limit.

"Brother Xu, haven't you given up yet?" In the bedroom, Ma Neng, who was sleeping on the bed and chatting with the other two people, looked at Chen Xu, who was sitting in his seat and opened the game editor, and said casually.

Hearing the other party's words, Chen Xu, who was sitting in his seat and looking at the editor, frowned.

It's been four years in college, and Chen Xu also knows what kind of character the other party is.

Malice is not malicious, otherwise you can't be in the same dormitory for four years, but the meaning of the words sounds a little uncomfortable.

"I said Brother Xu, in the monthly game design competition, we will definitely not get the ranking. "

"I feel that it is good for advanced companies to learn and learn, I asked Lin He in the second class before, and he said that Galaxy Games will recruit another batch of interns in the future. The horse sleeping on the bed could speak.

"Really?" it was the other two roommates, who were a little surprised at this time.

"Then can there be a fake? Brother Xu, let's go together when the time comes. Ma Neng smiled and looked at Chen Xu in his position.

"No need. Chen Xu ignored him and replied casually.

Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, he picked up the laptop on the table and turned around and left the bedroom.

Coming to the library with the computer, Chen Xu casually found a corner and put on headphones.

The quiet atmosphere relieved him.

Blowing the air conditioner in the library, Chen Xu gently tapped on the keyboard, his fingers slowly moving on the sensor board.

has the memory in his head, plus the editor itself is not very complicated, even simpler than some of the tools Chen Xu used before the crossing.

It's just a matter of memorizing more instructions.

If you want to win a monthly game design contest, a game with a few gimmicks and inducements is obviously a better choice.

This is largely due to the unique format of the monthly Game Design Tournament.

But the point is that there is not enough time, so I can only take the path of player authentication.

And since you have decided on this path of player authentication, it is obvious that you need to broaden your thinking.

Even if you make a game in the dormitory, it's still not very convenient.

Familiarize yourself with the game editor of this world.

Chen Xu went to the cafeteria for a meal at noon, and said secretly in his heart.

He had already made a decision in his heart, so Chen Xu didn't hesitate much, and went straight to the hotel behind the school.

In my senior year, there were basically no classes, and it was all time to find a job and find a way.

During this period, some students chose to participate in the monthly game design competition, while others, like most students, found a game company to enter.

But for Chen Xu, none of this matters.

The most important thing is to make your first game first.

After coming to the hotel to pay the deposit, Chen Xu put the registered ID card back into his wallet.

Then a person came to the second floor with a laptop and a room card.

For the next goal, Chen Xu has a very clear point.

That is to gain the recognition of some players and successfully get the title of game designer.

If you make a profit, it is not something that Chen Xu considers for the time being.

Once you've earned the title of Game Designer, you'll be able to unlock some of the more editors that you can use to develop other games.

And game designers who have certainly earned titles through this marketplace have a hidden perk.

That is, it can be like a bank interest-free loan, without any collateral, of course, the amount will not be very large.

The main thing is that the bank is also confident that it can obtain the title of game designer through this method, and the large game manufacturers may have some problems.

But it's still okay for a smaller game manufacturer to find a random one to join, so the bank is not afraid that you won't be able to pay back.

Fame, with fame, from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as rich.

So the first game, Chen Xu was not ready to work profitability.

Because as long as you succeed in the title of game designer, you basically won't start with money.

The only question left is what kind of game to choose.

First of all, it had to be a less complicated game, since there was not much time left for him.

The second is a low-cost independent game, because at present, in addition to the public resources in the game editor, he can only use tens of thousands of yuan in deposits.

However, for the choice of games, Chen Xu already has a number in his heart

THE FIRST GAME, CHEN XU'S CHOICE, IS A CLASSIC METAGAME - "UNDER THE LEGEND".

It's a game that can generate enough conversation.

And choose "Under the Legend".

There are three main considerations.

The first point is that this is an RPG game, but the gameplay is mainly controlled by the method of barrage dodging, which is simple and easy to understand.

The second point is that this is a game that perfectly combines the plot and meta-game elements, and with the effect of the two-week card, it can be said that it complements each other.

The third and most important point is that he has no money.

The content of "Under the Legend" is undoubtedly relatively simple, because its core point lies in the reversal of the plot and metagame elements.

At the same time, in terms of music, the soundtrack in "Under the Legend" is also a plus, for example, the arrogant man in the final battle against Shansi is a classic.

As for games like "Minecraft" and "Don't Starve", they are not under Chen Xu's consideration for the time being.

Because these games require a long period of fermentation, they are not the kind of games that can become popular as soon as they are released.

Instead, it needs to go through a period of precipitation, and at the same time, there are mods made by third parties to improve the ecological environment of the entire game.

The main reason is that these two types of games require players to play for a period of time and understand some of the mechanics in order for these two games to exude their own unique charm.

But what Chen Xu lacks now is time, and at the same time, there is no user base that meets the requirements, so it's not that they are not excellent.

It's that "Under the Legend" is more suitable for the current situation than this type of game.
