Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

A classic biochemical mode, plus a biochemical pursuit mode derived from it. It is not difficult to write out the gameplay rules.

It took An Yi less than half an hour to write the detailed rules framework.

This plan is enough to guide Qu Ziyi to complete the production of the game.

After figuring out the rules of the game, An Yi opened PS again.

In addition to the gameplay, the map design is also of paramount importance in the biochemical mode.

It is not intuitive enough to just use words to explain where a defense point should be designed and where an escape path should be laid.

Therefore, An Yi planned to draw a few concept drawings and maps first, and then combine them with the original designs of humans and Zerg, so that Qu Ziyi would have a specific production direction to prevent them from deviating from the right track.

"Let me think about it...where should the story be set?"

………………

An Yi was writing furiously, and the internal testing of Xingtie was successfully completed.

at the same time,

Xingtie’s official account also quietly released a post.

【Dear pioneers, hello! 】

【Today we are excited to announce this to everyone. 】

[“Honkai Impact 12rd” will be officially released at 28:12 on December 28th, one week later! ]

【As the first game that supports dual-end data intercommunication, pioneers can break the limitations of devices, experience the journey in the starry sea anytime and anywhere, and harvest their own happiness. 】

[Leave your own chapter in the sea of ​​stars. The road to exploration is right under your feet. ]

【Thank you for your support, see you in seven days! 】

[In addition, on the Mihoyo official website, Miss Heita secretly left an Easter egg. The first 5000 people who find the Easter egg will have an unexpected surprise~]

Chapter 99 Explain what a surprise is

As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a huge shock among the player community.

Originally, everyone was still immersed in the gains and losses of the end of the Star Rail internal test. In addition, Penguin increased the intensity of the deployment of water army in the later period, and many players were still a little dissatisfied.

This instantly ignited their little emotions.

"The official server of Star Iron will be online in seven days, my goodness."

"Ah? Today is not April Fools' Day, Mi Huyou is not kidding, right?"

"Is this true? You are lying, little Jiji."

"I don't want Mihoyo to shock me all the time, because it would make me look uncultured, because I can only say: Huh? Huh?"

"Le, the little black guy I was on the line with just now deleted the post and ran away. Come again! I haven't killed enough!"

After a while, with the help of word of mouth among players, Mihoyo's update soared to the top of the hot search list like a rocket.

The second on the hot search list was Penguin’s tearful accusation against the unscrupulous Mi You.

This slightly funny scene made the players unable to hold their breath.

There are messages one after another in the comment section.

"Goose, what do you think about the Star Rail public beta?"

"How else can I watch it? I used to watch it while sitting, and I still watch it while sitting now, but the difference is just sitting upright and sitting slumped. doge"

"As expected of a top figure in the industry, he is really good at judging people!"

"That day, I seemed to see the penguin wearing a clown's red nose, with oil paint on his face, hiding in a corner and crying..."

"Just seven more days! It's almost Chinese New Year!"

"I'll go to the official website to see if there are any reservation activities!"

The news of StarTrail’s public beta became a hot search on all major platforms in just half an hour.

The greater the controversy before, the greater the heat now.

The efforts of the water army were completely drowned in the carnival sea of ​​players.

.........

.........

Penguin Games Headquarters.

General Manager's Office.

Wu Zhiqun closed his eyes and rested. He was making a difficult decision.

at this time.

"Mr. Wu..." Secretary Xiao Li knocked on the door and walked in, interrupting Wu Zhiqun's thoughts.

"What's the matter?" Wu Zhiqun looked over expressionlessly, not in a good mood.

Xiao Li gritted his teeth and said, "You asked me to keep an eye on Mihoyo... They have made new moves."

"What?" Wu Zhiqun's heart tightened.

Xiao Li's expression was a little stiff: "The official server of StarTie will be online in seven days, and the two-way communication has also been realized. Netizens also said..."

"say what?"

"Thank you Penguin for your strong encouragement to Mihoyo..."

Wu Zhiqun felt dizzy.

What the hell?

It’s done right now?

The internal beta test has just ended and the public beta test is about to begin?

No, you can't sit still.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhiqun didn't say anything.

Instead, he walked out of the manager's office quickly and came to the planning department. He stood behind the chief planner Lan Yu and a group of project team members with his arms folded on his chest, with a serious look on his face, and came to supervise.

"How is it? Can it be used?"

"Mr. Wu, this engine is really amazing. As long as our Penguin team can master its usage, it won't be difficult to make a game of the same quality as StarTrail. But... do we have the authorization?"

Lan Yu glanced at Chen Qi's face behind him and asked cautiously.

Wu Zhiqun gave him the engine last night and asked him to test its performance, but Lan Yu was a little afraid that the engine was not from a regular source because the engine icon was exactly the same as the one Mihoyo had shown before.

His worries were not without reason. The world was extremely strict in cracking down on copyrights. Stealing an engine was a serious crime. If caught in the act, he might end up in jail.

"Well, as long as it works, I'll be fine. We have authorization, so don't worry."

Wu Zhiqun replied calmly.

Unfortunately, he himself didn't believe what he said.

Although Penguin and Mihoyo have not fallen out, they have been arguing fiercely on the Internet. Can Mihoyo authorize Penguin to use its own engine?

Of course, this engine was secretly copied from Mihoyo by Wu Zhiqun through the master of the inner toilet who was bribed by him.

Although I don’t know how this expert suddenly became reliable, I did get the engine, and that’s enough.

And just as he expected, after evaluation by Penguin's technical department, the technical level of this engine was indeed many levels higher than that of other engines on the market.

Mihoyo actually has this technology.

No wonder it can achieve dual-end intercommunication...

Fortunately, he acted in time, otherwise if Mi Huyou took the lead for a while, he would really lose control.

Use Mihoyo's engine to make games and defeat Mihoyo.

Just thinking about it made Wu Zhiqun tremble all over, this kind of Minotaur pleasure made him unable to stop.

Originally, when Wu Zhiqun first got the engine, he didn't think about using it directly, but wanted to try to make an engine of his own based on it to avoid risks.

But the technical level of this engine is so high that it is impossible to copy it.

On the contrary, its ease of use is so excellent that as long as you have some experience in game production, you can quickly get started.

In addition, Penguin Games' revenue has also declined slightly recently. Although it is only a small amount, Wu Zhiqun's intuition tells him that if he does not make adjustments, it will be too late when Mihoyo develops.

So he decided to take a risk and just use Mihoyo's ready-made engine to make the game.

After all, the quality of this engine is so high that it is difficult to resist the temptation once you have seen it.

As for the authorization issue?

Wu Zhiqun thinks it is not a big problem, because even if the games are made with the same engine, it is very difficult for outsiders to identify them.

Moreover, since this kind of game engine involves the company's core production secrets, there is no way for the regulatory authorities to investigate without sufficient evidence, so even if Mihoyo has suspicions, it can't do anything to Penguin.

In addition, all Penguin employees have signed confidentiality agreements, so there is no need to worry about internal leaks.

"Then let's use this engine to revamp our old games..."

.........

.........

By the evening, most of the players who followed StarTie had completed their game reservations.

In just half a day, the number of reservations on the official website exceeded five million.

As time went by, players' fanatical anticipation for the public beta finally subsided a little.

After all, the public beta still needs to wait for another 7 days. Now there is something that can attract more players' attention.

That is the easter egg mentioned in the last post of Mihoyo.

The limit to the top 5000 players reminded players of the internal test that just ended, where the limit was also exactly 5000. Is this a coincidence?

The restless players quickly started searching on Mihoyo's official website.

However, the hiding method of this easter egg was designed by Black Tower, so no players have discovered it for the time being.

Some people even tried clicking every interactive point on the web page, but still found nothing.

This made many people wonder, Mihuoyou, are you being mysterious? !

Where is my Easter egg? You are not on the Mihoyo official website. Where on earth did you hide it?!

Surprise? Mi! Why don't you come out and explain what a surprise is!

Chapter 100: What on earth is Mi Huyou up to?

[What is this? Has the Mihoyo official website been hacked? I was looking at the introductions of the various Star Gods, and then the content on the webpage disappeared as if it was eaten by insects, and then it jumped to a new website and gave me a bullet with NO.0001 engraved on it. What is this? ]

At 10:30 that evening, in Tang Baibai’s fan group.

A group member suddenly sent a strange message.

The two accompanying pictures were taken of the computer screen with a mobile phone, and it is obvious that the user is a netizen who does not often go online.

Tang Baibai originally wanted to complain that it was a different era now and people still hadn’t learned how to use the screenshot button given by God.

But her attention was immediately attracted by the content of the picture.

The first picture is from Mihoyo’s official website, the introduction page for Breeding Star Gods. It is covered with holes that look like they were eaten by insects, and many of the images have disappeared, turning it pitch black.

The second picture is of another webpage. The black background is filled with disturbing and strange shadows. In the middle of the picture is a brass bullet with the words NO.0001 engraved on its smooth surface.

But apart from that, it seems that some strange insect arthropods can be seen in the reflection of the bullet, but because the pixels of the mobile phone photo are really poor, they can't be seen clearly at all.

This slightly strange news quickly sparked discussion among group members.

Everyone also thought of the Easter eggs mentioned in the Mihoyo official account.

When they saw the Easter egg page and the faint shadow in the background, the group members immediately realized that something was wrong!

It seems that Mihoyo is going to do something! And it is very likely to be a big one!

"Oh my god! Could this be the Easter egg that Mi Huyou mentioned? It looks so interesting."
