Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

At the same time, Silver Wolf, who heard the door closing, crawled out of the bed angrily.

"Still angry."

Heita stood in front of the dining table, helped Silver Wolf get her small spoon and put it in her bowl.

"Humph... I definitely won't forgive him easily this time! I said no yesterday!"

Silver Wolf shook his hair and gave Heita a slap on the back of his head. He drank his porridge while muttering, "And you, just gloat over other people's misfortunes. Don't think I didn't hear you laughing secretly outside."

"Really? You must have heard it wrong." Heita didn't respond to Silver Wolf's words any more. He just picked up his portion of porridge, blew on it, and then took a small sip.

Then, Heita frowned subtly, then slowly stood up and walked leisurely towards the kitchen.

Black Tower's performance naturally attracted Silver Wolf's attention. She took a curious look at Black Tower's bowl of porridge.

Not long after, Black Tower came back, raised the can of sugar in his hand to Silver Wolf, and asked, "Do you want to add some? The porridge is so bland, it will taste better with some sugar."

"..."

Is there no sugar in the black tower?

The silver wolf smacked the sweetness in his mouth without saying a word. He just quickly took another mouthful of porridge and carefully savored the delicate sweetness.

After making sure that his bowl had sugar in it, Silver Wolf smiled and said, "No need."

Heita looked at Silver Wolf's little movements, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said casually, "An Yi was in a hurry to go to work in the morning and didn't even have breakfast."

...!

The silver wolf was still drinking porridge with his head down, but his ears were already perked up.

Heita continued to mutter and had already mentioned the recent difficulties of the Youmi Cloud platform.

Especially when it was mentioned that some old overseas platforms were preparing to suppress Youmi Cloud, Silver Wolf clenched his hands under the table into fists.

"Hehe, you don't want to hack that platform directly, do you?" Black Tower glanced at Silver Wolf's little fist.

Silver Wolf was a little anxious when his little secret was exposed, and he quickly clarified: "Humph... I don't care about this kind of thing."

Her current personality is still that of the angry Silver Wolf, and she must get an apology from An Yi!

I won't help him.

"Is that so? That's fine too." Heita looked at Silver Wolf with a smile, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Actually, An Yi also wants to compete head-on with these platforms and defeat them with strength. However, there are not enough games on the Youmi Cloud platform right now, and he is worried."

After testing Silver Wolf's current psychological dynamics, Black Tower was confident.

After watching a lot of TV dramas, especially those about harems in various dynasties, Heita has learned a lot of strange knowledge.

Last night, she learned that An Yi wanted to borrow a game console from Yinlang, but was too embarrassed to ask because she had just bullied Yinlang so badly.

Heita knew that it was time for her to act as a middleman and make a profit from the price difference.

Harvest one wave from Silver Wolf, and then harvest another wave from Anyi, killing two birds with one stone, how delicious.

This is also the reason why she took on this job.

Simple, high rewards.

Even if Interstellar Peace Company comes, they will say that this is a good business.

"Silver Wolf, actually, An Yi wanted to apologize to you last night, but he didn't have the nerve to say it. Before he left today, he specifically asked me to convey his message to you."

Heita went straight to the point, "Besides, your game console can actually help him solve his current predicament."

Silver Wolf was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Well... he hasn't apologized to me in person yet, I..."

Suddenly, Heita's tone became much heavier.

Although it wasn't a scolding, it did have a hint of disappointment in someone.

"Wolf, how old are you? Why don't you understand the language of actions?"

"If you were An Yi, you would feel embarrassed for making someone unconscious and still... You would still feel a little embarrassed, understand?"

"He was apologizing to you this morning just by remembering to add sugar to your porridge."

"This..." Silver Wolf suddenly realized, but still asked: "How did you know?"

Heita clicked his tongue and explained.

"Can your expression still deceive me? I know it at a glance. Humph, biased An Yi. He knows that I like sweets, so he didn't give them to me. Do you think I reported you yesterday just to make fun of you? It was to make him make a mistake and owe you once. The more he owes you, the more important you are in his heart. Don't you understand?"

"This...Sister Heita, you, you are so nice to me..." Silver Wolf was stunned by being fooled, holding the bowl, feeling a little at a loss.

"Well, I'm glad you understand." Heita picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip, then said calmly, "Love life is more competitive than games. Little Wolf, I see that you don't want to make any progress at all."

It is said that every sound of harm and suffering reaches the ninth level.

They were all brought here by An Yi. They were a little ahead of those girls, so they started to become complacent. What if An Yi goes to the Star Iron World again and brings back a few more? I wonder what you will do?

That star is definitely not as dull as it looks!

"Sister Heita, I want to improve so much!"

Hearing this, Silver Wolf straightened his body and said nervously: "Please help me improve!"

"That's easy." Heita smiled. She originally wanted to continue fooling Silver Wolf, but Silver Wolf trusted her so much that she felt a little embarrassed. She had no choice but to say, "Go to Mihuyou later and deliver the game console to An Yi. You will definitely improve."

"!Um!"

Leave request! Urgent leave!

Originally... I opened Steam today to collect some material and review the game I'm going to write about next...

But, time went by... before I knew it, I looked up and it was already 12 o'clock.

The fan is lost...

I will make up for it tomorrow!

Red bean paste private Marseille, Orz!

By the way, I would like to ask, those of you who have read the latest chapter, are you satisfied with the recent plot?

If you guys have any suggestions, you can put them here.

Chapter 227: To make an open world game, you must do this first, and then...

Here, under Black Tower's... instruction, Silver Wolf has completely figured out the pros and cons. She wants to make progress, so she's on her way to Mihuyou on horseback.

On the other side, in Mihoyo's conference room.

"It just so happens that we have plenty of time today. Before we start a new game project, let's take some time to review the previous games. What do you think are the reasons why games like StarMetro, Night City, etc. can attract players?"

An Yi is helping his employees to cram in some of the game knowledge that he considers to be common sense.

Because as Mihoyo's scale grows, the scale of the games it makes is also getting bigger and bigger.

An Yi cannot participate in every aspect of the production process. After all, he does not know how to clone himself and cannot split himself into several parts.

Even the Black Tower Silver Wolves have to queue up, and work and stuff... if it takes up too much time, it would be too miserable.

This is exactly where the problem arises.

In the early stages of Star Iron production, there were no problems with the game because An Yi followed the entire process.

But later, as An Yi gradually let go, he found that even with the most detailed game plan, it was difficult for employees to fully express the soul of the entire game.

The main reason for this phenomenon is precisely some very simple common sense cognitive problems.

This is because the foundation of the gaming industry in this world is too poor. To put it simply, there are too few good games and there is a lack of experience.

It's like neither having eaten pork nor having seen a pig run.

It would be fine if An Yi could lead them step by step.

But if Anyi let go, the employees would not be unable to move forward, but they would be able to restore more than 90% of the content according to the plan.

Although this level of completion is enough to create a huge wave in the gaming industry in this world, it is this little missing thing that makes An Yi feel that it is still lacking a little bit.

For example, for the open world exploration part of "Night City", employees still develop it according to the traditional linear process thinking.

It's open, but when An Yi actually played it, he found that the degree of freedom was very limited. It's not open, right? There's also the layer of skin in the plan.

Anyi just felt awkward no matter how he played this part of the game.

If I have to use an analogy.

Just like two days ago, when he was exploring the vocal techniques of the high pitch with Silver Wolf and Black Tower, Silver Wolf used the ether editor to transform himself into the appearance of Black Tower.

A perfect 1:1 life-size replica, even the details, behavioral characteristics, and way of speaking are exactly the same.

But An Yi could still quickly tell which one was impersonating Silver Wolf.

Because there is a lack of soul resonance.

This is the problem that Mihoyo is facing now.

There is an essential difference between the open world and the traditional box world and the completely free sandbox world. While emphasizing freedom, it also attaches importance to diverse gameplay and highly interactive background settings.

The driving force of traditional linear narrative games for players is the fascinating plot, while the driving force of sandbox games is to maximize the creativity of players.

Open world games, on the other hand, build a virtual world in which players can immerse themselves, and through "game depth" guide players to actively explore this world that interests them.

If we still use the traditional linear process thinking of this world to make the open world game that Anyi wants to make next, then even if we make the same appearance, we will not be able to touch the real core.

Many times, the reason why a game becomes a classic is often because of this seemingly insignificant part.

"Is it the extremely high playability and operational feel?" an employee answered after thinking for a moment.

"Exquisite artistic expression is also very important..." Qu Ziyi touched his chin.

"The ups and downs, grand or trivial plot stories? I think the most fun time in Star Tie is when I'm going through the plot. Most of the feedback from Star Tie players also revolves around the game plot." Lin Yuzhu, who is responsible for the operation of the player community, took over.

"Character design is also very important. Many players like a game because they like a certain character in the game. Especially a character that is portrayed in depth. We can kill her and let the players get an alternative mental stimulation..." Lu Ling, the new love warrior who has been addicted to pleasure recently, thought about it and put forward a different opinion.

"..."

In Mihoyo's meetings, speech is always free, and An Yi often encourages them to express their ideas.

It doesn’t matter whether it is right or wrong, even if it is wrong, it doesn’t matter.

For those who are stuck in a linear process mindset, a bold idea that seems to be unorthodox to them may shine in an open world game.

Many department heads also expressed their ideas one after another.

After listening to a round of speeches, An Yi nodded slightly.

"Yes, these are all important, and the success of a game is inseparable from these details, but in the open world game we are going to try next, there is one more important thing."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at An Yi, their eyes filled with a desire for knowledge.

Looking around, An Yi said in a deep voice: "Immersion."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of quiet discussion suddenly rang out in the conference room.

"...Well, uh, I think I understand, but I'm still a little confused..."

"It's a bit vague... Brother An, please be more detailed."

"Mr. An probably means to make the game world as realistic as possible, like Night City? Maybe."

"..."

An Yi had anticipated the situation where everyone was confused and seemed to understand something.

After all, this is the experience summarized by many excellent game designers in previous lives based on their life experiences. If they could understand it all at once, the world's gaming industry would have been saved long ago.

After thinking about how to explain it so that it would be easier to understand, An Yi raised his hand and picked up his thermos cup, unscrewed it, and pushed it to the middle of the table to show it to everyone present.

Looking at the faint white mist dissipating from the rim of the cup, An Yi spoke.

"This glass of water is hot now, right?"

An Yi's confusing behavior made the employees stare blankly, and they were puzzled. In the end, they could only nod their heads to show their agreement.

An Yi asked again: "If a person drinks water, he knows whether it is hot or cold. You haven't drunk it, so how do you know that the water is hot?"

"Uh...because it's in a thermos?"

Lin Yuzhu said tentatively.

Her little eyes were filled with confusion, and she didn't quite understand why An Yi would ask such a stupid-sounding question.
