Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

"Mr. An! Players are looking forward to our new game! I can't believe such a good game was made by our team!"

"Well," An Yi saw Qu Ziyi's expression and didn't say much. He just looked at the 16 computers in the conference room, pointed, and said, "During the game just now, did you feel that there would be something missing after the spread went online?"

"Missing something?"

An Yi's question was like a bucket of cold water, which directly extinguished the flames in Qu Ziyi's head. He began to calm down and started to think about what was missing.

There should be no problem with the quality of the game... If there is any problem with the quality, Mr. An will never agree to let it go online.

What then?

The questions raised by Mr. An are not groundless. He must have discovered some flaws.

"During the game just now, during the process..."

Qu Ziyi pondered over An Yi's question and replayed the previous game in his mind.

Suddenly, he thought of a small detail that he had never noticed before.

"Could it be that what's missing is something outside of the game?"

Seeing that Qu Ziyi had found the right direction, An Yi no longer kept him in suspense and gave the answer directly: "Well, it's just what you thought, a communication problem between players."

Hearing this, Qu Ziyi suddenly realized: "Yes, I see. We have been testing it within the group before, and everyone sits together and communicates directly face to face. But if it is officially launched online, players of a game will come from all over the world, and then the transmission of information will become a problem."

Shooting games are different from other games because the battlefield situation is ever-changing, and the real-time exchange of information between players is very demanding.

Although the current mode of "Spread" is an asymmetric confrontation mode and is more entertainment-oriented, it still has certain requirements for the timely transmission of information and reporting between players.

Otherwise, if the player is hit by the mother body's skills, he may not even have time to call for help.

Not to mention that Anyi also wants to add strong confrontation modes such as classic blasting to the spread.

By that time, if there is still no instant voice communication in the game, it will be a big problem.

Chapter 139: Make up for what you lack!

Imagine that your teammate was stolen by the sixth player in an unconventional position, and you were ignorantly queuing up, and then you were shot in the head, and by the time you saw it, the screen had gone dark.

The chat box had a new message from a teammate who had been holding back for a long time: "Be careful on the street lamp, there's Lao Liu."

That's too frustrating.

No, an instant voice communication software must be arranged.

But before that, An Yi first investigated the existing communication software on the market.

You don’t know until you check.

There are communication software, and it can also do voice calls, but there is no software specifically adapted for games, so it is inconvenient to use.

Players can either delete the words or bear with it.

If you really have to use voice, you will choose Qiuqiu from Penguin and start a group voice chat in the group. But not only is the operation troublesome, but there is always a delay in the voice chat.

But players have no other choice but to use this.

Seeing this situation, An Yi immediately thought of the YY voice in his previous life.

Anyone who has played games in the early years should have heard of this software.

Although it gradually declined due to the impact of live streaming platforms in the later period, in the beginning, YY was indeed the players' first choice for game voice partner.

Just make some YY.

Taking a pen and paper, An Yi recalled the functions of YY in his mind while writing down these functional requirements on paper.

Then, he called Yang Hao over, handed him the A4 paper, and said, "Haozi, this is a requirement. Ask the programmer to make a comprehensive instant messaging software."

After thinking for a while, An Yi instructed again: "Each function should be modular and can be split, and the voice part should be built into the game. Develop the voice function first, and the channels and the like are not urgent."

Yang Hao took the requirements, took a quick look at them, and said with a smile, "Okay, it just so happens that among the programmers we recruited last month, there is someone who can do this, and it will be quick."

"Well, that's good." An Yi responded, and then suddenly thought of something: "There is one more thing. The spread account must be compatible with the Xingtie account to reduce the time cost of players registering accounts, so that players can play Mihuyou games freely with their account number one."

"This is easy. Right now, we only have player data for the Star Iron game, so it's easy to organize."

"Well, then do it as soon as possible. Try to finish it before Spread goes online. Report any difficulties you encounter in a timely manner. Heita is in a good mood recently, so you can go ask her."

"it is good."

……

……

"Wuhu! Mihoyo's new online shooting game seems perfect for me!"

Tang Baibai had just finished broadcasting Mihuyou's live broadcast, and at this moment, she was looking expectant.

When she saw that Mihoyo’s new game was a shooting online game, she was a little disappointed.

Shooting games are a niche genre, and their players are a group of well-trained and tough guys who are too hardcore.

She really couldn't beat those gun men.

Going out to play is also suffering.

But "Spread" is different. If I can't beat the one with a gun, then I can just stand far away and mutate.

Even if I really can't hit the target, the worst that can happen is that I can join the glorious evolution and become a mutant.

This kind of shooting game with a more entertaining nature is really suitable for beginners who have average skills but want to try shooting.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed suitable for a certain vegetable bun."

"I suspect you are implying the main package."

"Connotation? Name and address!"

"..."

Seeing that the comments were criticizing him again, Tang Baibai snorted, "Tsk, you guys act like you're all strong. I'll open a friend room and let the main player shoot you hard!"

"Ah? Tang Bao, you've changed. You didn't even use the water heater before."

"Details of shooting!"

"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore, let's have a party, right?"

Seeing that the barrage began to speed up as soon as they disagreed, Tang Baibai touched his forehead helplessly and said, "Hey, you guys, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm going to ignore you guys. I'm going to make a reservation on the official website of Spread."

As he spoke, Tang Baibai directly opened the official website of the game "Spread".

Soon, the brand new official website interface of "Spread" was loaded.

The previous promotional images that only had silhouettes have been replaced with clear character pictures.

Move the mouse over it and the corresponding character introduction will be displayed.

"Rescue team... Insect swarm... Mutated mother 'Bad Spawn'... Patrolman 'Zhisu'"

Tang Baibai read the character introductions one by one with his eyes wide open.

Because it was just an introduction, with not many words, Tang Baibai finished reading it in just a few glances.

Feeling unsatisfied, Tang Baibai quickly turned it over a few more times.

Sure enough, there’s some background story about the game underneath.

It tells the story of what happened some time after the Insect King passed by this planet. The insect plague caused by the Insect King ravaged this planet, and the battle with the insect tide at the front was in a stalemate, but the human side had already shown signs of defeat.

The leaders of humanity decided to seek help from the Interstellar Peace Corporation to evacuate the remaining human population of the planet.

Interstellar Peace Company accepted the request and sent a rescue team to help.

But the rear of the battle line had already fallen quietly. The cause was the mutant mother named "Evil Born". Her strong obsession with becoming a mother made the blessing of the Insect King fall upon her.

Of course, this blessing is to make her one of the same kind...

Then, a patrol ranger passing by, a girl named Zhisu from the Immortal Boat, discovered what happened on this planet and chose to help...

"Um...no more?"

I scrolled down twice more and there was no new text.

At this time, Tang Baibai realized that he had unknowingly finished reading such a long background story.

After a while, she said with a sigh: "Wow, so this is the story behind it. My idol is so smart, how did he come up with this?"

Feeling unsatisfied, Tang Baibai scrolled back to the top of the official website and clicked on the reservation window.

"Eh? Automatically identify and log in. I have detected that this device has logged in to Mihoyo's Star Dome Railway. I can log in quickly. What kind of black technology is this? It's so convenient."

Tang Baibai's sigh also aroused many voices of agreement.

Apparently, the audience in the live broadcast room went to the official website of "Spread" to make an appointment while watching her live broadcast.

"It's really convenient. Just click and it's done."

"I just watched the trailer again and I want Mihoyo to make a movie."

“+1, this quality of CG is really amazing.”

"Didn't the cinema release a CG movie a while ago called Water Fortress? It was said to have cost 5 million yuan, but the expressions of the characters were blurry. I don't know where the 5 million yuan was spent."

“That’s really hard to describe.”

"I've made the reservation. I look forward to the Easter egg reward. I'm one of the first 5000 Easter egg discoverers!"

"Damn it! When you said that, I was really broken. I was really broken! I was so jealous that my hands and feet were cold. I woke up the next day and saw the message in your group, but the Easter egg quota was already full."

"Ah! These seven days have been so hard to endure."

"What's so hard? Xingtie, start!"

Chapter 140: It seems like Mihuyou’s players have the ability to reproduce!

Thanks to a certain reporter named Gao who did not want to reveal his name and was about to go to work on a sewing machine, the news that Mihoyo's "Spread" was about to be launched attracted the attention of a large number of players as soon as it was released.

The timely launch of the official website of "Spread" also provided a promotional video for those who did not watch the Mihoyo live broadcast.

More and more people have seen this adrenaline-pumping promotional video, and their expectations are instantly high.

Some players who are not interested in the two-dimensional world did not pay much attention to Mihoyo.

But after that night, they suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a new game that was different from the previous ones and was about to be released on the market.

The first to take action were the players. They took screenshots of the impactful scenes in the promotional video and spread the word everywhere.

Especially the last scene where the human hero 'Zhisu' confronts the mutant mother 'Niesheng'.

As long as it is a game group, you can see someone posting the same message over and over again every ten minutes or so.

At the beginning, some people in the village who had just gained access to the Internet didn’t understand the situation. When they saw people posting videos everywhere in the group, they thought it was a clip from a movie and kept asking about the name of the movie.

Seeing that some people took the bait, the missionaries smiled knowingly and explained to them in time.

Only then did they realize that it was a promotional video for Mihoyo’s new game.

Damn, weren’t you originally doing 2D style paintings? Is this also what you did?

Out of curiosity, these people visited the official website of "Spread" and were attracted after reading the detailed content.

Before I knew it, I had clicked the reservation button.

Unlike the old StarTie players who are familiar with Mihoyo, a considerable number of those who have pre-ordered "Spread" have never played StarTie, and naturally have not established a trusting relationship with Mihoyo.

After watching the promotional video of "Spread", their first reaction was "Oh my God? Is the quality really that good? Won't it shrink?" Just like Xu Zimo from CUCG, they have seen promotional video scams many times.

As a result, discussions soon emerged on various platforms about whether the quality of "Spread" was as good as shown in the promotional video.

Voices of trust and doubt appear alternately.

But soon, the voices of doubt disappeared because a player posted a link to the actual game video of Mihoyo playing "Spread" live.

As soon as the actual video came out, it was like pressing the mute button, directly eliminating all voices of doubt.

The modeling precision! The gameplay! The UI!

The complete game displayed from all angles from multiple players' perspectives cannot be faked at all. This is what the real game looks like and players can play it!

At this point, the two groups that were arguing fiercely did not merge into one, but split into two factions again, and the discussion became even more intense.
