Two weeks later, in the office of the "Forestfruit Sports" company, John and Luna sat in front of the computer and watched the completed game. Two weeks to complete the development of an independent game of this size, the world in the memory of John's dream is simply incredible. However, in reality, it is because of the extremely mature game industry chain, as well as technological innovations.
For example, in the World of Dream, the values in the game and the like need to be numerically planned to perform the function calculation, and also need to master the programming code, and be able to write such as a combat simulator, equipped with auxiliary tools such as drop simulator.
But in the official engine provided here, there is already a big data template, and the work of numerical planning that needs to be done is too convenient. Understand the use of probability, statistics, dispersion, and Fortran, and a little understanding of economics, even if it is a qualified game of numerical planning.
Of course, although it is much more convenient, for the numerical planning of this small game, if there is no template, letting John do it by himself to ensure that there are no major loopholes in the later period, may take about one and a half months to complete. With ready-made templates, John spent only four or five days backstepping with the official numerical planning tool, and most of the time was still wasted on numerical statistics.
In front of the office, occasionally a staff member who passed by looked at the office with the door closed and whispered.
"That game maker has money, spend so much money to make a pixel-style game."
"He should be at home and play around."
"Not necessarily, what if the other party's game sells out? I have seen the plan provided by them on the chief side, and I feel that they should not be newbies. The other party seems to have a very good planning procedure."
"What's the use? It's not that I haven't seen it before, and who will play the pixel-style game? The retro screen was in the last century."
"When I did the post-BUG test, I felt it was okay to play for a while."
"Come on, with your aesthetics, what mobile game did you say okay last time, and the result? Now that the company has gone bankrupt and closed down for more than a year, the other one is now switched from a mobile game manufacturer to another industry."
"That is, there was no similar game before. In the beginning, if you encounter a monster you can't beat, you may have nothing to open the treasure chest. Will gamers like it? When you can't get past it, there's nowhere to look."
In the office, John uses the mouse and keyboard to perform game operations.
In the operation of the game, John did not follow the setting of simply using the alphabet keyboard WSAD to move and ↑↓←→ attack according to the memory, but chose to have the keyboard, and also gave the player room to choose. The keyboard is easy to use, and the mouse is easy to use. Some people like the combination of a keyboard and a mouse, and some people like a pure keyboard. The easiest way is to provide two operation methods for players to let them choose.
"It's not bad, the style of artwork is more in line with the people's aesthetics, and at the same time it maintains the original absurd style." John, who was killed by a group of monsters randomly refreshed in the BOSS room of the first level, was very satisfied and nodded.
"Can this game succeed?" Luna sitting next to John said uncertainly.
For games, she didn't know much about it. Although the person she liked was engaged in the game industry, she had also learned about it in pursuit of him. But she was not interested, that is, she was not interested in the game. She usually played games on her mobile phone with a theme song.
As for this pixel game called "Binding of Isaac" made by her boyfriend, from her perspective, she thinks it should not be very fun. The old-fashioned pixel style of this picture, although it is said to be a model with high-definition resolution. However, after killing the monster in the style of the game, it was directly torn apart, plus a pool of blood like a large pool of tomato sauce, it looked a little invading. This sound effect and this monster modeling, although not so ugly, are also not good-looking. Anyway, she feels that the element doesn't feel interesting at all.
"It Will-!" John looked at Luna and said.
Looking at his face, John's expression was very serious. This sentence is meant to be heard by the beautiful woman in front of him, and also by himself. Although this game has proved this game in the world of dreams, it is a different world. As a game maker, John feels that this game will be very popular. Who can be sure of this unpredictable market and the tastes of players?
***
Two days later, in the rental house in the countryside, at three o'clock in the middle of the night.
In the room where the curtains were tightened, Luna was unsleeping and stared at the game screen on the computer in front of her. This is the full version of "The Combination of Isaac". After registering with the official game union and submitting it as an independent gamer for review, Luna has been playing for two consecutive days.
From the beginning, she didn't feel anything interesting, but she tried it because it was a game made by her man. Now she is completely fascinated. Also from the very beginning, Luna started from the beginning, "Isaac is so pitiful, is there any moral in this story? How do you think of such a dark story?" Succeeded in becoming "Ah, why not a treasure chest, I want new props-! Gambling room? I like-! Either home is full of things, or nothing-!"
"Ah! Why haven't you encountered certain props yet? The ideal combination can't be put together!"
John, who was awakened while sleeping in bed, looked blankly, and Luna, half-squatted on the chair, gave birth to the abominable idea of gaming for the first time. It is already midnight, and the keyboard you use is still being clicked.
"Hurry up and go to bed, it's more than three o'clock." John picked up the mobile phone next to him and glanced at the time, then pointed towards Luna.
Turned her head to look at John who sat up with a helpless face, Luna was a little embarrassed: "Wake you up? Or, two-player game together?"
Pushing the laptop next to him, Luna blinked and looked at John.
In the plan for "Binding of Isaac", John intends to add the online function, but currently, only the LAN function is connected, because the network connection needs a server for data exchange, there is no preparation at all. To be more direct, it means that there is no money.
"Online? I still want to go to bed. With you, I can only be robbed of powerful props and blood bags." John, who had a profound experience, thought about it and lay down decisively.
"Ah-! Wake up, don't sleep, play with me-!" Looking at John who was lying down and pretending to be dead, Luna was not happy to get off the chair and pounce on John.
