Chapter 321 The amount of engineering for 1 game

How long does it take to make a card game using magic?

In ancient times, it took at least several years or even decades to build a bridge across the river. From the excavation of raw materials to processing, transportation and labor costs were also considered after processing. Therefore, the Great Wall and Pyramid were almost impossible to complete in ancient times. The building of this country has been famous for its history. WWWW.SUIMENG.lā

In modern times, if you want to build a pyramid, it is much more convenient. Factory mechanical processing, train and ship transportation, and a large number of uninterrupted mechanical operations.

The same goes for using magic to create a game. Magic is synonymous with impossibility. Compared with the modern game production technology on the earth, it is like the difference between ancient and modern. In the eyes of high-level spellcasters, creating a game is no more complicated than completing a magic project, and in the eyes of a human spellcaster, a magic project that is almost impossible to complete is almost as difficult as clearing Dark Legend in the eyes of White Dragon Simpson.

The White Dragon Simpson is a domain-level spellcaster. When it is really interested in something and can’t wait to participate in it, it drives the White Dragon Workshop to run at a high speed like an engine.

The information crystal contains all the information and content of Harvey’s thoughts about Hearthstone for several days. Although Harvey is not a loyal player of Hearthstone, he has been obsessed with this game for a period of time, because of work reasons. After encountering the card exit environment for a while, I haven’t logged in for a long time. After that, Harvey often watched some anchors playing Hearthstone, and some exciting Hearthstone excerpts are required weekly courses. Therefore, he is very interested in Hearthstone. The effect is still impressive.

There are thousands of cards from nine professions recorded in the Information Crystal. These cards are the mainstream decks in Hearthstone. Different combinations can play different roles. After all, Hearthstone has been in operation for many years. Issues left over from history have resulted in a lot of useless cards, and there is no need to add these used cards.

“Dark Legend” is based on “Heartstone”. It not only changes the skin, but also optimizes the overall environment and card effects of the game. Harvey does not intend to pursue absolute balance, because this appears to be a card game. It’s boring, and this is where Harvey doesn’t understand Blizzard Game Production Company the most. He blindly pursues the so-called competitive nature and reduces the gameplay. He does not know that a game where luck accounts for the majority of the victory is to toss fairness itself is a very stupid thing.

The game balance that Harvey considers is more inclined to mutual restraint between the decks. The nine different ranks restrain each other, and they can produce butterfly effects due to different deck effects.

The most classic restraint in Hearthstone is the triangle relationship. The fast attack deck restrains the late deck, the medium speed deck restrains the fast deck, and the late deck restrains the medium speed deck. The three form a stable Triangular restraint relationship, in addition to some unstable deck series, such as the very luck-testing [Star Boundary], once you are lucky, you will directly hang all the deck systems, and if you are not lucky, all the decks will be hanged up and played.

Each profession can form a completely different deck system to ensure the appearance rate of each profession. Harvey also added hundreds of self-made cards according to his own unique ideas. I don’t know what effect it will cause for the time being. Points require players to test feedback.

······

At the White Dragon Workshop, Harvey stared at the process of the White Dragon Simpson’s “creating” the game. He could only see the blue light passing by, and countless overlapping magic circles formed a complex magic circle system. Harvey doubted himself. Is it a fake spellcaster? Otherwise, he doesn’t understand the process of White Dragon Simpson’s spellcasting at all.

Bailong Simpson completed most of the project of “Dark Legend” in less than a day. Yes, it took Blizzard Games on Earth in less than a day to spend several years on the entire game project team. Carefully polished games are “extracted”.

The first is the calculation system of the game. “Dark Legend” is based on a rigorous mathematical calculation system. The effects of cards are the result of mathematical calculations. Obviously that set of logic is not complicated in the eyes of ordinary humans. The calculation system can’t trouble a high-ranking spellcaster.

Second is the framework of the game. Bailong Simpson has already thoroughly studied the Little Overlord series and game crystals. In terms of creativity, it may not be as good as Harvey, but Harvey has written the game frame structure. In terms of practical ability, the caster is worse than Harvey. Thousands of times.

The two major projects that make up the three elements of “Dark Legends” were easily completed, but the last project, in the eyes of Blizzard’s game project team, may be the easiest project, but it stumped White Dragon Simpson.

That is the art setting. Harvey used text to describe the character effects of each card in detail, but without the art paintings brought by Harvey as a reference, even the experienced Dreiser designed a card face. All need to spend more than half a day.

You can’t just write the name on the card and fool it, so there is no sense of substitution and refreshment in the game.

Harvey took the game crystal handed by White Dragon Simpson, and his spirit sank into the interior to accept a large amount of content from the game crystal. The content in the game crystal was overhauled based on the PVE mode. Harvey’s spirit was seen when he sank into the crystal. The screen shows two different cards, which are marked with stars.

【Adventure Mode】

【Confrontation Mode】

Choose the adventure mode to enter the PVE mode, and choose the confrontation mode to experience the new content.

Harvey’s thoughts moved, and the confrontation mode option displayed inside the game crystal moved slightly, indicating that Harvey had selected this option. The scene changes abruptly, and the screen shows a very simple game interface. On a wooden box, there are four options: battle mode, entertainment mode, practice mode, and competitive mode. Harvey continues to choose practice mode. The screen does not have any special effects. In practice mode, the card faces of all cards are described in text, which is very weird.

Because PVE mode and PVP mode attack and effect data are not universal, it is not appropriate to apply PVE mode cards to PVP mode.

Just like the one that Harvey had imagined, the PVP mode of “Dark Legends” is not even a semi-finished product, but it has already shocked Harvey. Originally, he estimated that it would take at least a month for Bailong Workshop to achieve this. degree.

Harvey can only infect the magic of magic in his heart.

“It’s Simpson. Generally speaking, there is no big problem. The top priority is to make the illusion model and fill the card surface effect. Don’t worry about the illusion model for the time being. After all, the illusion model is only used on the [Gold Card] and does not affect the performance of the game. “Harvey handed the game crystals to the members of Bailong Workshop. They all looked like curious babies. They didn’t know the true face of this game before Bailong Simpson made the specific game.

Bailong Simpson smashed his mouth, his tone revealed unwillingness: “Although I have lived for many years and have seen many things, even the mere illusion is not a problem, but in a short period of time, I have to produce more than two thousand pictures similar to ” The card surface effect of “Dark Legend” is also not easy.”

Dreiser nodded and said solemnly: “More than two thousand cards…it is indeed a big project. How about entrusting this part of the work to the Illusion Workshop?”

“Illusory Workshop?”

“Yes, it is also a kind of magic workshop. It is usually responsible for making illusion models used by professors in lectures. In some holidays, it is also responsible for making some illusion models. For example, the fire dragon festival at Clark College a month ago, that body was ten Jimmy’s fire dragon illusion model was made by an illusion workshop in Clark College, but the magic association has little demand for illusion workshops. The nature of this type of workshop is similar to that of our Bailong workshop. It is difficult to find one that can complete our commission. Workshop.”

Harvey looked at Dinah, who was carefully preparing to touch the game crystal. She remembered that she had learned illusion when she introduced herself, and asked politely: “Dinah, I remember you are one of the students in the illusion department.”

Dinah quickly retracted her little hand, blushing like the frightened deer, lowered her head and stammered: “Yes…Yes, Mr. Adrian, I…I am mainly responsible for assisting Dreiser in making the illusion model. ”

“Don’t be nervous, answer slowly.” Harvey smiled broadly: “So are there many people in Clark College who are interested in illusion?”

Dinah grabbed the corner of the magic robe and rubbed it, shook her head: “There are very few magic apprentices in the illusion department, and I don’t know more than fifty.”

“It doesn’t have to be proficient. It is enough to perform some ordinary illusions. Are there many students like that?”

Thinking of something, Dreiser’s eyes lit up and he nodded and interrupted: “There are many magic apprentices like this. Although the illusion subject is not a major subject, many students choose to take the simpler illusion subject in order to get credits.”

Harvey finally turned its gaze to Bailong Simpson. It understood what Harvey meant, and squinted his eyes and replied: “The credits a professor has are not unlimited. There are a fixed amount of credits for each semester. If the professor wants to grant more students Of credits need to be exchanged for contribution points.”

“Madeline.” Everyone turned their eyes to Madeline again, because she was the person responsible for counting the revenue of the White Dragon Workshop.

“This month our net profit income is 55,324 contribution points.” ..

50,000 contribution points! This is almost equal to the total salary of Bailong Simpson as a professor in the college for ten years!

“So many!? Isn’t our workshop in crisis?” O’Neill’s eyes widened with disbelief, and his breathing became heavy when he heard the specific numbers. He owns the shares of Bailong Workshop and shares him. You can also get thousands of contribution points It is more profitable than his magic family in a month. It is simply a profiteering industry, not much higher than writing a magic essay!

Madeleine raised her golden hair with her right hand and snorted: “Because this month is the release month of “Dark Legend”, most of it is for the previous profit, and the next month may not be so much.”

Harvey nodded: “Then everyone divides a portion of their contribution points into hiring students in proportion, is that okay?”

“can!”

“of course.”

White Dragon Simpson was still a little reluctant. He glanced at the game crystal on the side, his sharp claws ran across the scales of his chin, and considered: “Although it is troublesome, it seems that there is no better choice. I actually want a giant dragon to accompany him. It’s a life-threatening thing to pay out your own property.”

Entrusting the card design work of “Dark Legend” to the magic apprentices and illusion workshops of Clark Academy may have different styles and quality, but it is also better than the visual effect described in the text.

Otherwise, what is the difference between a card game without a screen and doing math problems?
