Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

Then Yang Hao looked at An Yi again: "The first internal test is over, should we conduct a second round of paid testing?"

"No need."

An Yi shook his head, looked at Yang Hao, and said calmly: "With the current quality of the StarTie test server and the expectations of the players, there is actually no need for the next round of testing. In addition, the pace set by our external competitors in the past two days, we can seize this opportunity and directly launch the public beta version of the game."

Yang Hao was stunned.

But soon, he reacted, because what An Yi said did make sense.

It is human nature to yearn for excitement. Now that the popularity is so high and the quality of Star Iron has reached the standard, there is no reason to carry out another round of testing step by step.

Moreover, if Mihoyo remains silent, the rhythm set by Penguin will also be adversely affected.

Direct public beta testing is Mihoyo’s best option right now.

but……

Yang Hao glanced at An Yi, who was calm as usual.

Sure enough, he is still so confident.

From the establishment of Mihoyo to the present, everything has proved that his choices were correct.

Yang Hao no longer hesitated and asked directly:

"So when will we announce the public beta? What date is the public beta set to be?"

An Yi turned his head and glanced at the time on the screen.

There are still two hours left until the internal test of the Star Dome Railway ends.

This is also the best time set by Anyi to announce the specific time of the public beta.

"Once the internal test is over, we will release the news simultaneously. As for the public test, let's set it for seven days later."

I heard that Anyi officially confirmed the public beta date.

The faces of everyone in the conference room were filled with either anticipation or surprise.

Because the StarTrail public beta test means that the efforts they have made during this period will soon be rewarded. As for the quality of the game, everyone knows it and is naturally very happy.

Among those present here are talented people who have just graduated but have outstanding abilities, as well as industry elites who have worked in large companies and have rich experience and have switched jobs here.

Although they are of different ages and have different experiences.

But they all have the same idea, which is to make a truly fun game that players will like.

Because this kind of thing is impossible in other companies.

A game without any market reference will not even be filed in a company that values ​​profitability.

No matter how many novel and interesting ideas there are, they will be rejected by the superiors with the classic three questions.

"Are there any successful cases? Can you guarantee making money? What if you lose money?"

And after they worked at Mihoyo for a while, they found that it did not disappoint them. It is truly a vibrant company.

You can really innovate on Mihoyo, and thanks to the powerful capabilities of the Black Tower engine, many fantastic ideas can be realized.

This is also the reason why they identified Mihoyo.

However... they are also a little worried:

That is Mihoyo's leader, An Yi, the young man who led them to success. He wonders if he still has any idea of ​​leading everyone to make another charge.

After all, the success of StarTie is a foregone conclusion, and it is likely to be a game that will make a living for a lifetime.

How many people are willing to challenge new things when they can make money lying down...

Because Mihoyo’s meetings do not emphasize formality, they proceed very quickly.

Soon it was time for free speech.

This is also Mihoyo's unique meeting model. If it were in other companies, everyone would have wanted to leave long ago.

The heads of each department will put forward some of their own ideas or suggestions.

Soon, it was the turn of a young college graduate.

An Yi actually knew this young man, his name was Qu Ziyi.

When this person came to apply for the job, An Yi happened to be free that day, so he chatted with him for a few words.

Although he is young and inexperienced, he is indeed a young man with special ideas. He dares to think and act, and is full of the unique drive of someone who has just entered society.

However, to stand out from a group of elites and become the team leader of the Mihoyo Planning Department, it seems that he has considerable abilities.

"Mr. An, I want to ask about your future plans."

Qu Ziyi looked at An Yi who was sitting in the first seat, his expression was a little stiff, but he still said: "The public beta of Star Rail will be released soon, and it will definitely be a great success. Subsequent version updates will not require so many people. Will we make new games later?"

stare……

When everyone heard the question asked by Qu Ziyi, they all pricked up their ears.

Because they also care about the answer to this question, but they just don’t dare to ask.

"You're pretty confident."

An Yi looked at Qu Ziyi, feeling a little emotional at his serious expression.

He is still young and full of energy. He wanted new tasks before I even opened my mouth.

Very good, this is the momentum we want.

"But I am equally confident. It just so happens that I am here to tell you a new idea of ​​mine."

An Yi stood up and retracted the projector screen, revealing the whiteboard behind it.

The words "shooting online game" were written on it in large letters.

"My plan is to make a first-person shooter game."

"Eh? FPS?"

Yang Hao, who was sitting next to him, was a little surprised because the gap was a little too big.

However, he still believed in An Yi's judgment, nodded slightly, and then asked: "Is it the kind of battle between the two sides?"

"No, that format is a bit old-fashioned."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. If FPS doesn’t have combat, then what else can it do?

Seeing that everyone was confused, An Yi opened his briefcase and took out a stack of A4 paper, on which were printed the settings for breeding insect swarms that he had compiled.

“Look at this, the new gameplay is born from this.”

Soon, these settings fell into the hands of everyone.

After a while, everyone had read almost all the settings in their hands.

Swarm, assimilation, mutation!

Everyone had a vague idea of ​​something, but still couldn't grasp the vague inspiration in their minds.

So they put down the A4 paper in their hands and looked at An Yi.

"Why are you all looking at me? Do you want me to tell you the answer?" An Yi's eyes swept over everyone in the meeting room.

Looking at everyone nodding like chicks pecking at rice.

An Yi was also happy: "Okay, then I will tell you my ideas."

Chapter 98: Locust Plague in the Universe, but Biochemical Mode

"When the bugs come into contact with humans, the humans will be assimilated and become new bugs. The mutation model we are going to create is based on this core setting."

An Yi expressed his thoughts.

Everyone at Mihoyo also took out their notebooks and carefully recorded the details, for fear of missing any key points.

Seeing everyone stop writing, An Yi continued:

"In essence, this game still divides players into two camps. At the beginning, all players are humans. After a period of preparation, a few players will be assimilated by the concept of breeding and become the mother of the Zerg. The game officially begins."

"On the human side, you must use firearms to stop the spread of the insect swarm, prevent yourself and your teammates from being infected and assimilated, and try to survive until the end of the round. Only then will humans win."

"As for the Zerg, they must assimilate all humans within the specified round time."

"A whole game consists of several rounds. In each round, everyone may be selected as a Zerg Queen by the system. Therefore, during the preparation time, players must not only find a suitable defensive point on the map, but also be careful of their teammates."

"After the chaos at the beginning of the round, the surviving players will have to show their talents and try to hold on until the end of the round. Whether it's a group of people working together to hold on, or an individual with outstanding abilities doing parkour on the map, it's all possible."

"Is that understandable?"

An Yi wrote as he spoke, briefly recording some key points on the whiteboard.

Soon, this swarm mutation model derived from the biochemical model was explained in detail.

Putting down the marker, An Yi turned around and looked at everyone's expressions.

Some people were excited, but more people were still in deep thought, thinking about some detailed settings that An Yi did not mention.

An Yi didn't rush them and gave them some time to think.

Soon, Qu Ziyi was the first to raise his right hand and asked, "How can we strike a balance between the two forces? If the number of Matrix is ​​far less than that of humans, it will be difficult to defeat them, right?"

Hearing this question, An Yi smiled knowingly. He knew that this young man had fully understood the way of playing, but there were still some details that he couldn't figure out.

"Very good. Regarding the balance issue, we must first clarify the unique advantages of both forces. The human side can use firearms, which have a knockback effect when hitting the Zerg, and can control the Zerg within a safe distance."

"Although the Zerg can only use melee attacks, their advantage lies in their strong life recovery ability. It takes multiple players to focus fire at the same time to kill them. Their basic movement speed is faster than that of humans. They can assimilate humans as long as they hit them once. In addition, the Zerg also has some special skills as an advantage."

"Of course, I won't say much about how to strike a balance between the two. You can figure it out on your own. You can't let the Zerg completely block humans, but you can't make this process too easy. That's all I ask of you. The rest depends on your performance."

An Yi finished speaking.

Everyone present suddenly understood. They had been wondering what other gameplay there could be if FPS didn't have players shooting each other?

It was not until An Yi gave them some specific ideas that they were able to string together the fragmented thoughts in their minds.

This way of playing,

It's very interesting when you hear it.

Qu Ziyi, who was the first to understand the mutation gameplay, was especially shocked.

He really didn't expect there would be such a solution.

"I think everyone understands this. This is how the game works. Although the background setting of Star Iron is used, I plan to release this game as an independent game. This will also facilitate future layout."

An Yi picked up the water cup, moistened his throat, and then said: "This gameplay focuses on asymmetric confrontation between players. It is relatively casual, so it is very suitable as the first gameplay to be released. After attracting most of the audience of shooting games, we will develop other modes."

As soon as the words "layout" and "future development plan" came out, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became a lot heavier.

In addition, this was the first time that An Yiban let them do it boldly.

Everyone's expressions became solemn.

Although everyone wants to achieve something to prove themselves, when the opportunity comes to them, they still feel the heavy pressure.

However, pressure has both advantages and disadvantages.

As long as you don't get overwhelmed, this will be the biggest aid to growth.

Seeing this, An Yi also encouraged them: "Don't be too anxious, I'll back you up. I'll come up with a plan for the background story, map, and character design of this game."

"Okay, there's no rush to make this game. Time is almost up, so let's announce the Star Rail public beta. And spread the word a little bit at the same time."

........................

The meeting is over.

Everyone walked out of the meeting room excitedly.

One reason is that StarRail is about to be launched in public beta, and the other reason is that a new game project is about to be launched.

An Yi returned to his office and immediately turned on his computer.

He handed the production of this shooting game over to Qu Ziyi. Even though he had explained all the gameplay to him, he seemed to understand it all.

However, information may be lost during the transmission process.

Therefore, it is best to determine the rules of the game, put them on paper, and form a complete plan.

He is ready to do this now.
