Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 540 Minecraft & Auto Chess

Chen Hao knocked on the whiteboard, "Do you know anything about strategic chess and sandbox games?"

Others looked at the two added types on the whiteboard and were a little confused. Isn't this quite common? What's there to say?

Chu Xuan said directly, "I know the strategic chess and card genre very well. The abbreviation of war chess games is the same as RTS. Its representative works are Fire Emblem, Knights of the Flame Dragon, etc. produced by Nintendo. They were very popular as early as the last century. In fact, many games in Three Kingdoms OL have borrowed some battle flag-type modes, such as battle bala bala."

Chen Hao nodded, then shook his head, "That's right. You're talking about the traditional war chess game, but what I want to talk about this time is a variant." He added a bracket after the strategic chess game, Write down three words.

Auto Chess!

What is auto chess? A chess piece that moves on its own? Everyone present was confused. Is this a game created by the boss?

"You know chess, right?"

If you don’t understand, just listen, everyone nods like chickens pecking at rice.

“In the preparation stage, players place various characters in the game on a grid-shaped battlefield (chessboard) without further input from the player. Then the characters will automatically fight with each other, and finally the winner or loser is determined based on the overall strength.

This kind of game is called Auto Chess, also called Auto Battler. Everyone, please turn to the seventeenth page of the materials given to you. There are corresponding instructions on how to play. "

Swish, swish, there was a sound of books being turned over in the room, as if it was in class.

"The rules, lineups, bonds, equipment, and skill materials of self-owned chess are all explained accordingly. Game, probability, calculation, and strategy are game skills, plus some luck. This is the charm of self-playing chess. You can go on Take it seriously.”

This. This. Chu Xuan looked at the content above and opened his mouth. After all, it had been more than two years since Chen Hao last taught him a lesson about the Three Kingdoms.

Each item in the material is written in a concise and concise manner. It is a rough framework and outline of game design, and there are examples to explain it in a simple and clear way.

It was precisely because he understood that he was even more shocked. Chu Xuan couldn't help but blurt out, "Boss, is this what you are thinking?"

"Otherwise? During the holidays, I played chess with my family. I thought about what the effect would be if the chess pieces could move by themselves. I also thought of our company's business. Once combined, wouldn't this be a ready-made game?"

Chen Hao put his hands on his hips and sighed, "Hey~ I just accidentally became your boss and led you astray, otherwise I would definitely be one of the top game designers in the world now!"

That is to say, Chu Xuan, a young man, could ask this question. The old god Zhou Xiaoze was beside Chu Xuan. He had witnessed many miracles of his boss along the way and never doubted his boss's ability in the gaming field.

With advanced game concepts, vision for selecting agent games, understanding of games, and grasp of player mentality, the boss is definitely a top-notch existence, otherwise Century Interactive Entertainment would not have made steady progress in the past few years.

He laughed happily. It felt good that the boss finally returned to his old business after many years.

Chen Hao ignored the mental activities of everyone in the audience and continued, "Many of our games can be made into auto chess. Can Xu Peiliang's Glory of Heroes and Alliance of Gods be used? Can Chu Xuan's Three Kingdoms be used? Lao Xu's Is martial arts okay? Go ahead and think about it yourself. I won’t go into details.

Before talking about the second one, who can answer, why does dota become so popular? "

I know this question well. Xu Peiliang's eyes lit up and he answered immediately.

"The map editor for Warcraft III!"

"That's right, it's not just Dota, it's also spawned various types of classic derivative games. Even if you haven't played the Warcraft section of the Haofang Battle Platform before, you know it. This is the magic of UGC, that is, user-created content, everything Game content is produced by players, and what we provide is a platform and a tool.

No matter how powerful an individual or a company is, there will be times when it reaches its limit, simply because manpower is exhausted and beyond its capabilities.

And the creativity of the vast number of users is endless.

In fact, you can see some clues before. From the 4399 game platform to the CGC center to Orange's OAS (app store), there are corresponding developer incentive plans. This is the case. Page ! "

Swish, swish, the sound of turning pages neatly,

"The game is kept simple and reliable, with simple cube pixels and Lego style. Every block can be destroyed and filled in. All we need to do is teach players the basic operations with a main mission, and the rest is to provide tools and Materials, as for the future, let players create their own world.

So I named the game Minecraft.”

Someone in the audience raised their hands, "Boss, how did you come up with this? Share your creative process. It will also inspire us, right?"

Chen Hao touched his chin and looked up into the sky with deep eyes, as if he was lost in memories, "How did you think of that?"

In fact, the CPU in his brain was running overclocked, and he was talking nonsense, "It was a sunny afternoon during the Spring Festival holiday.

I play with my children. What do we play with? Yes, when I was building a castle with sand, I used various tools to build a big castle. Looking at the innocent smiles of my children, this gave me a greater sense of accomplishment than being the richest man.

At this time, I was thinking about what a wonderful chemical reaction would be produced if I combined this with a game. So I stayed up all night that night without even bothering to go to the bathroom. The game plan was released the next day. Okay, this is what you have in your hands now.

Did you see the dark circles under my eyes? "

Chen Hao pointed to his eyes, and everyone shook their heads.

"Oh, time flies by like a flash, it has disappeared after such a long time, everything seems like yesterday.

So everyone should remember that all game ideas come from our daily lives.

I remember there was a saying that said,

some careless talk

clear up my doubts

an inexplicable impulse

Tell me to keep searching

your every move

I pay more attention

All with a clear conscience

I'm waiting for you to show up"

The editing became more and more fluent, and at the end, Chen Hao even couldn't help but start singing.

As department heads and chief designers, everyone was moved. The boss was already the richest man, and he still had such enthusiasm and energy. He loved games and even did the work that was originally theirs, which made them feel a little ashamed.

In fact, the truth of the matter is this. It is true that Chen Hao took his children to build a castle. However, at that time, he was facing the loess and his back to the sky. He used tools to build several towers with great difficulty. Chen Anran, a child, kicked off a small bunker and wreaked havoc on the battlefield. It is simply the Q version of Greymon, the cute boy Godzilla.

Let Chen Hao shout that this considerate little cotton-padded jacket can leak out an eight-level wind.

And the scene in his imagination of a loving father and a daughter filial piety and a happy family will probably only exist in his imagination from now on.

It made him wonder if the name Chen Anran was too popular at that time.

Unexpectedly, raising a baby was more tiring than working overtime. At that time, Chen Hao was only thinking that his wife, who was going shopping with his parents, would come back and save him. How could he have any other thoughts about Minecraft?

These are all the products of the rush work in the past two days.

However, seeing everyone in the audience looking thoughtful and moved, and looking at me with fiery eyes that contained a bit of admiration,

It seems that the effect of the deception is pretty good. It makes Chen Hao smile and makes people feel like a spring breeze. It adds some value at the end.

"Art comes from life. Every little bit in daily life may generate billions of value. Let's encourage everyone."
