Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

"Eh? All right."

Although he didn't understand the situation, An Yi agreed.

He could see Heita's little face out of the corner of his eye, and watched her walk behind him resolutely with a shy look, as if she had been looking forward to this scene for a long time.

Just as imagined, the scene that was imagined not long ago is playing out in reality.

A happy smile appeared on Heita's lips.

"Not bad, it really fits me well."

……

"Cooking is not a problem for me!"

Black Tower said so.

An Yi was stunned for a moment: "Okay, then you come this time."

Da da da.

The kitchen knife rose and fell rhythmically in Heita's hand, carefully cutting the garlic sprouts into small pieces of uniform length.

"You can be more casual. You don't have to be so serious about cooking..."

"Oh? Okay~"

An Yi looked at Heita walking around in the kitchen in an apron, and couldn't help but hug her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

The slightly hot breath sprinkled on the white and tender neck, stirring up a pink color.

Heita was tickled by the breath and reluctantly turned his head: "How much water should be added to this rice?"

"Just a little below the knuckle... Yeah, yes..."

In the small kitchen, one person was cooking and another was steaming fish. No one spoke for a while, only the sizzling sound of the oil pan and the sound of the spoon hitting the bottom of the pot, interweaving into the notes of home.

Chapter 96: Inspiration from a Grape

Had lunch.

Throw the dishes in the dishwasher.

An Yi sat back at the computer desk.

I started to think about what kind of shooting game I wanted to make.

Games are not something that can be created on a whim. Many factors must be considered before starting a project.

A crucial point is that the game quality should be high and the gameplay should be fun.

An Yi is still very confident about this requirement.

In terms of game quality, the game graphics and performance effects produced by the Black Tower engine beat 100% of the games on the market.

As for the gameplay, Anyi also has many classic gameplays that have never been seen in this world to choose from.

What is more important than these is that while ensuring the above two points, the game must be able to make money.

That is the revenue issue.

Although it is very realistic, there is nothing we can do about it.

After Tongzi upgraded the achievement mall, he no longer distributed rice directly, but instead used achievement points to exchange for funds in the mall. The exchange rate was very unfair.

The first time, 1 achievement point will be exchanged for 100 million RMB, the second time it will be 10 points, and the third time and thereafter will be locked at 100 points.

The shopping mall values ​​written by this script made An Yi complain about the system more than once.

Your upgrade experience is not much better than that of the Windows system!

The day has finally come when the second master's inheritance is spent...

Fortunately, with the public beta of StarTie approaching, Mihoyo's operations are already on the right track.

There is still some funds left, not much, but enough to support the launch of StarTie's public beta.

Judging from the current expectations of players, it is estimated that we will not have to exchange money from black-hearted commanders in the future.

In short, as long as we wait until Star Rail comes online, everything will be fine!

This also led to the fact that when Anyi was making games, he had to consider how to support the Mihoyo family.

After all, he is not just one person now. Mihoyo's people work under him, and he can't ask his employees to work out of love as well.

“Revenue…”

An Yi opened WORD and created a new blank document.

After thinking for a while, I typed out a few words.

888 Fire Kirin, buyout, unboxing...

The rich experience of being cheated in the previous life gave An Yi a constant source of inspiration.

Cheating, no, there are so many ways to make money if you think about it.

"But let's forget about the Fire Kirin, even though I think I can make a lot of money..."

An Yi shook his head and deleted the Fire Kirin.

As for the Fire Kirin, its criticism is roughly equal to its revenue-generating ability.

You can make some money, but you will have a bad reputation.

To a certain extent, it will overdraw the potential of the game.

Mihoyo is now taking the boutique route that represents the conscience of the industry, which is obviously not suitable.

As for the buyout system...

The first thing An Yi thought of was the game from Guilai to Guixi.

It’s not that its quality is bad. On the contrary, it won the Game of the Year award when it came out.

But buyout games will naturally set up a threshold for players, and many potential users will be eliminated... This is also an indisputable fact.

After much deliberation, An Yi finally decided to leave the option of opening the box.

The game itself is free, so the revenue issues can be left to the skin appearance and the like.

Determine the model for making money.

Next up is how to play the game.

Although the core of shooting games is shooting, there are still many small categories.

The main features are PVP, team battles, and demolition battles where players compete fairly against each other.

Or it could be PVE where players work together to fight monsters, such as the Cataclysm in CSOL.

Or it could be asymmetric confrontation between players, focusing on casual gameplay, biochemical mode and the like.

After writing down all the ways to play in his mind, An Yi let go of the keyboard, crossed his fingers and placed them under his nose, looked at the descriptions of several ways to play he had written on the screen, and began to think.

Although Anyi is an adult, he can have all these modes.

But the road is taken step by step. If you take too big a step, you might easily break your balls.

Mihoyo’s employees have no experience in producing shooting online games, and the market’s acceptance of shooting online games still needs further testing.

Mihoyo doesn’t have any love potion, so whether the game is good or not still depends on the players.

Combining these two points, Anyi decided to first create only one model to train the team.

Once you have gained experience, it will not be too late to have them all.

So which one should I choose...

Maintaining Commander Ikari's classic posture, An Yi started thinking again.

"Eat grapes?"

"Um……"

Heita came to Anyi with a plate of grapes.

The grapes had just been washed and there were still water droplets hanging on them.

Seeing that An Yi was busy, Heita picked up a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

These grapes are so sweet...

Wait, Grape, run!

An Yi suddenly had an idea and thought of a mode that he loved to play in his previous life.

The escape here does not refer to the battle royale of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Using Battle Royale as the first mode for training is obviously a bit difficult.

After all, the allocation of resources in the map and the design of various tactical points are all things that require the planning team's capabilities.

It’s not that Anyi can’t do it, but he still wants to take this opportunity to train the team’s capabilities. He can’t do everything himself in the future.

Moreover, as a relatively independent and excellent gameplay, Battle Royale is more suitable to be launched as an independent game in the future. Launching Battle Royale at this time would waste the potential of this gameplay.

Taking the plate from Heita and putting it on the table, An Yi turned around and hugged her: "Thank you, my baby, for the inspiration you provided me."

Heita was stunned, but her eyes looked over An Yi's shoulder and fell on the computer screen, and she soon understood what An Yi meant.

"Really? You've decided on how to play the new game. What kind is it?"

"This, the biochemical mode and its sub-mode pursuit mode."

An Yi turned around and pointed to the last biochemical model written in the document.

"Let me see..." Heita came to the screen and read the gameplay introduction written by An Yi in a few glances. He said, "The setting of this infection and mutation, uh, is a bit similar to the outbreak of the breeding swarm..."

"Hmm? Tell me in detail." An Yi became interested immediately after listening to Heita's words.

Because the popularity of Mihoyo is now basically concentrated on Star Tie, if the game background of the new work can be combined with the world view of Star Tie, the effect will naturally not be as simple as 1+1.

It is also very beneficial to Mihoyo’s future IP layout.

"Taizyuros, although He is called the Star God of Reproduction, His abilities are not as simple as just giving birth. If He was just able to eat and give birth, He would not have attracted the combined efforts of multiple Star Gods to strangle Him."

Heita paused for a moment, recalling the details in his memory, and then continued: "The truly terrifying thing about Him is assimilation. The ability to assimilate all living things into a swarm of insects."

"When the breeding star god was still around, his insect swarm had abilities similar to memetic contamination and concept distortion. If you come into contact with the insects, you will slowly be assimilated into insects. If you come into contact with people who have been bitten but not mutated, they will also be assimilated. In the civilization that was fighting against it at the time, there was even an incident where pregnant women in the rear gave birth to insects."

After listening to Heita's story, An Yi's eyes lit up and he suddenly had an inspiration:

"It does look a bit like this. I have an idea for the background of this game. I'll tell them about it at the meeting tomorrow."

Chapter 97: Public beta is finalized, the swarm is coming

The next day at 10 am.

Mihoyo’s large conference room.

An Yi pushed the door and walked in.

At this meeting, there were some unfamiliar faces that An Yi did not recognize.

Yang Hao, as the second-in-command of Mihoyou, also arrived at the meeting room early, along with the heads of various departments.

It was the first time that An Yi met the heads of some departments.

After a few greetings, An Yi sat in the first seat and the meeting officially began.

Because now Mihoyo only has one project, Xingtie, that is about to be put into operation.

Therefore, the focus of the meeting is still on Star Rail.

"Beloberg's dubbing is still a little bit short, it's expected to take another two days..."

"The BGM that the symphony orchestra played has been sent back and was added to the game package yesterday."

“The responses from the questionnaires collected during this internal test were almost all full-star reviews. A few harmless bugs were also fixed.”

At the meeting, the heads of each department reported in turn on the status of work completed within their group.

Soon, Yang Hao recorded and summarized everyone's comments and praised them, saying, "The work has been done very well this month. Everyone has worked hard during this week of internal testing."
