I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 244

c236 The master carver was so angry that he was confused! (The last chapter of the year)

“Fourth level framework, temple.”

“There are a total of 120 temples in the game distributed throughout the continent of Hyrule, but please don’t think that the sculptor divided them randomly.”

“Almost all of these 120 temples are distributed around each Shikar tower, and the area near a Shikar tower is divided into more detailed divisions.”

“When the player climbs up the Shika Tower, he stands on the top of the tower and looks down. He can see the scattered temples around him at a glance. He only needs to hold up his hang glider and jump, and he can float slowly in mid-air to the nearby temples. Next to the temple.”

“The temple is the same as Shikarta. It must play a key role in promoting the development of the game to arouse players’ desire to explore.”

“So, we all know the result. In addition to the fun of solving puzzles in the temple itself, you can get a trial certificate for each temple. Collect 4 certificates to improve in front of the goddess statue. A red heart/a small amount of energy, this kind of attribute level improvement is irresistible to players.”

“It is precisely because of these temples that the player’s journey from A Shikar Tower to B Shikar Tower has more meaning.”

“And the last step is also the smallest one-level framework in “Zelda”, the five-level framework.”

“Although it is the smallest framework, the power exerted is definitely not small. As the saying goes, tall buildings will rise from the ground. It is unrealistic to build tall buildings without completing the infrastructure.”

“Therefore, although this fifth layer of the framework is not as specific as the first four layers, the key role it plays is irreplaceable.”

“To put it simply, this level of framework is an emergency.”

“They are usually set up between Temple A and Temple B. They can be a talking flower, a stone that looks very abrupt, a big snowball, or an NPC sweating all over. .”

“It could also be a way station, a raft, a tree that looks out of place, a monster camp.”

“The fifth-level framework is not specific, but their role is to fill the player’s boredom in the running map.”

“If the first four layers of framework are all utilitarian, then the fifth layer of framework returns to the essence of the game – from the perspective of fun.”

“Coupled with the unique real physical laws of “Zelda”, these emergencies are not detached from reality.”

“When you encounter an ice cube in reality, the best way to make it melt quickly is to naturally heat up the surrounding environment.”

“When you encounter an ice cube in Zelda, you will find that when you hold a torch close to it, the ice cube will begin to melt and its volume will decrease visibly to the naked eye.”

“What’s even more surprising is that you can even light an extra bonfire next to it, because your common sense tells you that logically speaking, as long as the temperature is higher, the ice will melt faster. In fact,” “Zelda” feedbacks to you in this way.”

“As long as you light the bonfire and raise the torch at the same time, the melting speed of the ice will increase exponentially. This kind of detail that obeys the laws of physics can’t help but make people smile.”

“Normal people will be wet when they come to the shore from the water, but in the game, this detail will be deleted for the convenience of calculation.”

“In Zelda, when Link enters the water and comes ashore, there will be water stains dripping all over his body.”

“You will feel cold when running in the snowy mountains, so you will feel warm if you wear thick clothes at this time. This does not seem unusual, but if you hold a torch in your hand or carry a fire sword on your back, you can also achieve the same goal. The effect of keeping out the cold is very common sense.”

“Everyone who has played the game should know that the wood cut down by the player will float when pushed into the water. We can even stand on the wood and float. This setting is actually found in many games, but in “Ser” The mechanism used in “Da” is quite terrifying. Its calculation mechanism is that objects with a density less than water will float, and objects with a density greater than water will sink. It is not as simple as “wood will float”. ”

“There is also the ubiquitous ‘Ah haha’ that the magic sound fills the ears. There are many related details in “Zelda”, so I won’t give examples one by one here. And all of this makes people feel real. Details can only be displayed based on the fifth-level framework. It cannot be presented in the kingdom of the first-level framework, nor can it be presented in the four divine beasts of the second-level framework, the Shikarta of the third-level framework, or even the fourth-level framework. The temple is not suitable and can only be expanded on the fifth floor. Because the essence of life is composed of countless extremely subtle events.”

“The so-called macroscopic giants formulate the rules, and microscopic things show their characteristics. So far, Ready Player One has used the five-layer framework principle to nest layer by layer, and the Hyrule continent, which was originally just a blank piece of paper, has been refined layer by layer. Afterwards, an extremely touching picture of another world was sketched out.”

“It is precisely this five-layer nested structure, coupled with the detailed display relying on the fifth-layer structure.”

“Finally, it is embellished with potential guidance called ‘triangular design’ and ‘lighthouse effect.’”

“The designer used Zelda, the most unique game in history, to deliver an almost perfect score to all Blue Star designers and players.”

“The so-called open world does not mean that the bigger the map, the better, nor does it mean 30% main line and 70% branch line.”

“It makes players feel as if they are in the world created by the designer and experiencing an adventure personally. The content of the adventure is determined by us players.”

“It is able to perfectly implant this sense of experience when the cold screen blocks the dimension. I would like to call “Zelda” the ceiling of the gaming industry!”

“Okay, that’s it for today’s evaluation. The analysis perspective is purely from a personal subjective perspective. Gamers are welcome to point out the shortcomings of the article. I also hope that major game manufacturers can absorb the essence of “Zelda” as soon as possible and let There are more and more ceiling works in the game history of our Blue Star!”

“I am the professional reviewer “Wangsi Libeici”. See you in the next game! ”

————

A game review worth nearly 10,000 words breaks down in detail the key reasons why “Zelda” is attractive.

There is a large amount of horizontal comparative data throughout the article, and the main focus is rigor.

Moreover, every point of the objective analysis is very precise, which makes people’s eyes light up after a quick glance.

As soon as the review came out, it instantly caused a sensation among players at home and abroad.

Even within a few days, it was translated into multiple languages. Major game manufacturers rushed to read it, and held meetings overnight, eager to make a PPT frame-by-frame analysis.

Designers around the world seem to be starving, devouring the details like hunger and thirst, for fear of missing any scrap.

The impact of “Zelda” on small companies is hard to estimate. Even for a long-established game company like Blizzard, the shock it brought made the entire conference room completely quiet after the analysis. It lasted for three minutes.

Even Meade kept making tiny bubble sounds in his throat, but he couldn’t say a word.

I thought that “Elden’s Ring” by Jin Kejin was already a hit.

As a result, it now seems that the design of the open world part of Ready Player One’s “Elden’s Circle” is more like a practice…

This is outrageous.

Our global manufacturers have been busy working together for more than half a year. Did they copy your design concept for a semi-finished game? (Note: Semi-finished products refer to the open world, and Soul-like is a complete work.)

Your real fucking killer move is Zelda?

After a moment of silence, Meade took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then spoke with difficulty and looked at the crowd.

“So, everyone, let’s say something.”

Hearing this, the top management of Blizzard looked at me and I looked at you, and finally their eyes turned to Meade.

No, what else is there to say?

What else is there to say about this…

Judging from the current quality of “Zelda” and these design concepts, it is no exaggeration to say that it is 20 years ahead of the development of the entire Blue Star game…

Boss, why don’t we brothers form a group and fly together, and go to China to kowtow to the engraving designer to express our loyalty…

In the past, when children were young and ignorant, they played games for fun.

Now when I see Dad Ke’s game design level, I am immediately amazed. I am willing to bow down to Master Ke and devote myself to learning game design ideas.

But it’s useless to say that now.

Compared with those like Weiwangdi, which is a game platform, it can still survive and drag itself back.

My family and the number one player have the most direct conflict of interests.

Moreover, with the quality currently displayed by Number One Player, in less than a year or two, they may be able to take root in the OME market, and then begin to arbitrarily disrupt the game market that they have cultivated for so long.

Whether it’s the top management in the blizzard or CEO Meade, they are all grasshoppers on the same line now.

How to solve the current dilemma is the top priority.

A group of senior executives whispered among themselves and discussed for a long time.

Finally, a plan was finalized – changing the strategic layout!

The current direction of the game being designed by Ready Player One, regardless of the type of game.

There is a very distinctive feature.

That is, the stand-alone god!

Whether it’s Zelda now or Elden half a year ago.

Or last year’s Mario, The Binding of Isaac, Assassin’s Creed and other works, all of which are single-player.

Their last online game dates back to Teamfight Tactics early last year.

And look at the entire game development history of Ready Player One.

It is also mainly stand-alone.

Several online games that are still quite popular are nothing more than Genting, eating chicken, and never ending.

“Furthermore, according to the recently revealed news, the next game “Dying Light” that Ready Player One is preparing to warm up is still a stand-alone game.” Meade took two steps under the eyes of the senior executives, then stood still and said: “So we have reason to judge that the top player’s layout in online games may not have a large proportion.”

“Or to put it more directly, their level of online gaming has probably declined.”

“Then let’s seize this opportunity! Hit the number one player’s weakness!”

“Don’t he like to come to our Omi to encroach on the market? Then we will counterattack his main battlefield, China!”

“Zerg”, Blizzard’s game with the highest revenue share, is an online game with annual revenue exceeding 300 billion. (Total turnover including derivative products + IP incubation, non-net profit)

Previously, this was because I had always looked down upon the spending power of players in East Asia.

Therefore, “Zerg Hegemony” has never considered developing into East Asia.

Now, since your number one player is unkind, don’t blame us, Blizzard, for going to cut your Huazi’s leeks!

I heard that in the past few years, Huazi players have been trained by top players. They have full confidence in the game industry and are at the level of Jiudangge.

Anyway, when the time comes, I will find a Chinese partner and make a lot of money!

Even if they are really acclimatized, they can just grab a vote and run away, cutting off the accounts of all players, but there is nothing they can do.

But the fundamental significance of this strategy is to completely interrupt the monopoly of the number one player in the Chinese gaming industry.

Let Huazi players experience what is truly a global online game!

“Next, prepare to connect with other game manufacturers in China, negotiate an appropriate ratio, and then enter the Chinese game market strongly.”

“Ready Player One? We are still a little afraid of him as a stand-alone player, but we use the world-famous online game to preemptively attack and directly steal the potential users of his number one player in China, leaving Chinese players with almost no time to play other games every day. At that time, I’m afraid he won’t be able to defend his base camp, haha.” Meade smiled and was determined to win.

Just as he said.

Playing single-player, with the level displayed by the number one player, it is indeed scary to be beaten.

But online games?

Then just wait and see!

Do you understand the power of our “Zerg Conflict”, the world’s number one online game?

To be honest, we used to disdain the Chinese market.

Once we take it seriously, I don’t know who can stop us!

“Okay, okay! Damn, this is how you play business war, right?”

One month later.

Ready Player One, General Manager.

After Ke Jin saw the proportion of the latest sales of “Zelda” in the global new game list, he almost felt so angry that he almost left his body.

I’m going to be pissed off, man, I’m gonna be pissed off!

50% is indeed impossible to break through.

Although Zelda’s sales exploded in its first month, it sold nearly 40 million copies! Ranked No. 1 in sales in the history of Blue Star Games!

The total global turnover has also directly reached nearly 15 billion!

Originally, the 15 billion problem was not that big.

After all, the global monthly new game flow averages around 100 billion.

Even if “Zelda” is exhausted, it can only account for 15% of the monthly revenue. This data is quite real.

But damn, a bunch of manufacturers just stopped releasing games…

I co-authored a top-level game last month, and the rest are all a group of very small individual studios joining in the fun. As for other large or medium-sized game companies, they all shrink their necks and keep silent.

This 15 billion turnover accounted for more than 70% of the global share last month!

Fake business war: Various extreme games between high-level think tanks on both sides, overt and covert fights, and frequent conspiracies!

Real business war: Damn it, there is a macho guy. Brothers, please stop posting games this month and let the macho guy do it first!

no!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Originally, this wave of gift packages was so close, Ke Jin felt like he was almost touching the gift package box.

As a result, a group of cowards kicked the gift bag away.

Who the hell can stand this?

Master Ke, I’m going to be angry!

Since you don’t like posting games, then stop posting them all!

It’s almost New Year’s Eve.

Then let me give you some, a little shock to start the new year!

Brats, feel the wrath of Master Ke!

“Director Gou, how is the production of the matte body going?” Ke Jin called Gou Chehua to ask about the general situation.

Got a reply quickly.

The matting body has been prepared, and the demo project for the offline trial version is about to be completed.

“What about the League of Legends?” Ke Jin asked again.

“Come back, League of Legends is ready, and the servers have been arranged. Just waiting for your word, they can be warmed up and put on the shelves at any time. If it can be put on the shelves before and after the winter vacation at the end of the year, with the unique gameplay of “League of Legends”, It should be overwhelming.” Gou Chehua said with a smile.

“Well, just look at the arrangements, just around the time of the Chinese New Year.” Ke Jin nodded.

Gou Chehua thought that the short conversation was over and was about to leave.

He was stopped by Ke Jin again.

“Wait a minute, it seems like the Chinese New Year is coming soon, why not add another dish for the players.”

“Ah?” Gou Chehua was stunned, not yet understanding the meaning of Mr. Ke’s words.

I saw him pull out a planning book from the drawer and handed it to him.

“This is the third game. The complexity of the game design is not very high. It should be able to be produced in two or three months, right?”

“Well, I will let the employees do their best.” Gou Chehua saw that Mr. Ke seemed to be in a bad mood, so he didn’t say anything more. He just nodded, took the plan, glanced at the game name, and then recorded it in On the memo that I carry with me.

First line of memo.

Mr. Ke ordered: “Dying Light” can be released after both threads have been debugged. The expected release time is around Halloween in mid-November.

Mr. Ke’s instructions: “League of Legends” is expected to be released around the Chinese New Year, and will be judged based on the warm-up of the subsequent “Battle of Two Cities”.

President Ke’s instructions: Start developing the new game “Pokémon”

This should be the last chapter before the Chinese New Year. I will take a long vacation starting tomorrow. It’s hard to say when updates will resume, but it will definitely be before the tenth day of the Lunar New Year! Come back soon and update as soon as possible. (During this process, I will also try to use my mobile phone to code and see if I can write a chapter or two)

This year’s freezing rain in Hubei caused traffic jams, which completely disrupted my original plan to return home. The number of updates these days has been a bit embarrassing.

But this book will definitely be finished, don’t worry!

I would like to wish you all a happy New Year in advance and wish you all success in your studies and career in the new year! Love is sweet and perfect! Parents and family are in good health! In the new year, let’s work hard together! ! !
