Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 308 Surprising...

Although Angela played quite a few games in her previous life, she was not as proficient as some game nerds. The one that impressed her most was "World of Warcraft", so she also had some interest in "Warcraft", but real-time strategy She has never been very good at playing games, so she just knows a little bit about it, but whether it is "Warcraft 3" that she still has an impression of or "Warcraft 1 and 2" that she can only vaguely recall, they are all similar to the games displayed by the computer. It doesn't matter!

Those models are not rough but very small. If you want to compare them with the strategy games she has "experienced", they are probably a bit like "Red Alert 2". Actually, if you really count them, they should be smaller. The precision is also a little off.But these are not the point, the point is... This is a 3D game!

That’s right, it’s indeed a 3D game. Just look at the air units on the screen. For example, when gargoyles and the like make movements in the air, the movements of each unit are inconsistent, and the shadows cast on the ground follow. Variety!Or after the dwarf's helicopter was destroyed, when the fragments scattered, each fragment fell in a different direction!It is enough to explain the problem!

It's just that Angela never thought that the proposal that she worked out out of a momentary interest would actually become a game, and it was really a 3D game, which is really surprising.To be honest, whether it is the Warcraft novel I wrote at the beginning, or the idea of ​​making "Warcraft" into a game because Pixar has a game department, there are fun factors in it-I want to see the embarrassment of Blizzard and those 3D madmen of Pixar Ability!

Although she still had time to ask questions at the beginning, as time went by, the development of the game was progressing slowly, and she had a lot to do, so she gradually forgot about it. Unexpectedly, the game department After being silent for two years, he unexpectedly gave her such a big surprise!it's really...

"Is there any problem, Ms. Mori?" A burly white man beside him asked at this moment. He had a face shaped like "you" in Chinese, and his dark brown hair was combed neatly, with two thick sides. The eyebrows are pressed down, looking very confident.

Angela thought back to Ed's Shao. This man named Chris Taylor was one of the heads of the game department. He was said to be very good and had his own unique understanding of game production.

"I'm just..." the girl gestured, "I'm surprised by the appearance of 3D games."

"If I remember correctly, Fred and the others told me that you were the one who requested the 3D game." Chris raised his eyebrows, which made Angela a little dumb, but she quickly explained: "The fact In fact, I didn't know the specific situation of computer games at the beginning, and it was not until later that I realized how high the requirements of 3D games are on the current computer. In addition, the progress of the game was not smooth, and I had other things to do, so in the end I didn’t ask any more questions, so I’m surprised now.”

Chris nodded and continued to ask: "So do you have any comments on the current beta version? I have read your novel, and I have also read the relevant background information you listed in the plan, etc. To be honest, it is very It feels epic. But don't you think it is very difficult to make such a huge plot at the current level?"

"If possible, I would like to try it first." The girl smiled, but did not answer directly.

"Of course!" Chris made a gesture of invitation.

What's difficult, you crazy people probably wish you had these things to do?The girl sitting in front of the computer was slandering while operating.Recall that when the game developers introduced it before the beginning, they said that this game was made under the leadership of Chris, so it shows that his ability is quite outstanding. Where did Ed and the others dig it?

Angela, who is not very proficient in games, has no idea what the name Chris Taylor means in the game world of her previous life. If a game nerd crosses over, she will definitely rush over and hug Chris' thigh tightly Howling: "Brother! Take my younger brother, I admire you very much!"

Of course, if you wear it early and have your own capital, you may come over and pat your shoulders to exude a bit of arrogance: "Come on, Chris, let's create a game that is different!"

There were many Chris Taylors in the game world in the previous life, but there was only one who could occupy a place among the 30 most influential people in game history!However, for Angela now, even if she knew about it, she would dismiss it. She was bothered by what she said just now, and she knew that the other party was hiding a little question.

It's not surprising that people who are good at a certain field are always proud of their profession, and don't like those who are not proficient but want to point fingers, even if the other party has a reputation as a genius, and most importantly, is a genius. woman!

This is also one of the reasons why Angela is depressed. If she is a man, maybe the other party has already started to directly ask about the idea, and then sympathize with each other, instead of beating around the bush like now. This is really unfair!

"How to say," the girl stood up after trying to play for 10 minutes, "I'm not a professional, nor a gamer obsessed with games, so I can't give better advice, but judging from the time I played, the game's Operability is still good.”

Chris exchanged glances with several main creators, and they all smiled slightly. Although Angela didn't ask for guidance to operate the game units relatively smoothly, but coming and going is just a formation, commanding a few waves of troops to fight the enemy simply, In the eyes of these game masters, such simplicity is really lackluster. As for comments such as "good operability", they are not very convincing.However, the girl's next sentence made everyone stunned: "But the handyness seems to be a bit bad."

Angela really doesn't know how to play, but from her point of view, Blizzard's success in "Interstellar" and "Warcraft" has nothing to do with any rookie being able to get started quickly. Rookies can use simple crowd tactics Clear levels or fight against each other, and the veterans can play all kinds of tricks, and they go hand in hand!

"...I don't know much about business, but I know that if I can attract a large number of players in the first place, no matter how good the game is, it will fail." The girl spread her hands and looked at everyone.

"I disagree..." Chris was about to speak, but Allah interrupted him with a raised hand: "You are all using WIN95 now, right? Do you think it is easy to use?"

After getting an affirmative answer, she immediately asked again: "Do you think it's perfect?"

"If you don't even have the idea to finish the game, can the game you make be considered an excellent work?" Chris shook his head, obviously he didn't agree with the girl's statement at all.

"No, no, Mr. Taylor, that's not what I want to say," Angela smiled and shook her head, "I think everyone should have noticed that if there is any problem with WIN95, Microsoft will try to solve it immediately , and released a free download patch on the Internet. To put it bluntly, WIN95 is basically a semi-finished product, and problems may occur at any time in the hands of the messenger, but it is still very popular. Why? Because it is simple and easy to use, and if problems are found , as long as you report it to Microsoft, they will always solve it as soon as possible!"

The girl took a deep breath and looked at Chris: "Do you understand? This is not inconsistent with making a perfect game. If it can attract a large number of players, and if there are people who like them to help find bugs and improve the game, then the vitality of this game will undoubtedly increase. It is several times longer than the same type, so if you don't have the idea of ​​making a perfect game, you can't do this!"

This approach has been done badly by Blizzard in her previous life. She has played "World of Warcraft", which time did not use BUFF or NERF to balance the game and prolong the playability, but in It is still a relatively new topic.

After pondering for a moment, Chris nodded again: "So, Miss Mason..."

"I'm sorry, that's all I can say." Ann quickly raised his hand, the inventory in his stomach was only so small, and if he took out it, it would be gone, "I don't know how to make games, so I can only talk about planning The above opinion is for your reference, what to do, or you professionals can't make a better decision."

The girl doesn't know how her point of view will be reflected. She just doesn't care about what the Pixar version of "Warcraft" will look like and how it will develop in the future. Anyway, there is the first 3D real-time strategy game as a gimmick. Pixar can't afford to lose, and if the future is not clear, then just close the game department, business behavior.

"To be honest, I don't see the need for me to come here." Angela said to Ed after leaving the game department.

"It was the proposal submitted by you at the beginning. Although we have full rights to make it, we also have the right to know, don't you?" Ed shrugged with a smile, but the fox's tail was soon revealed, "Yes, if it is possible, we want to What do you think about bundling the game with Ten Tales of Azeroth?"

"Bundled?" The girl glanced at him. "Well, I have no problem. I'll talk to Jack."

"So, any writing plans?"

"Writing project?"

"Of course, according to the timeline in your proposal, the game production should be the story of the 'Dark Gate' period. Compared with the timeline in the novel, we can know that there are many stories in it. If we need If you want to make a sequel, what should you refer to?" Ed continued to smile and shrugged.

refer to?Angela looked at him with a bit of a smile. The girl finally understood why they called her here. If there is a new book that is closer to the plot of the game, it will be more important than "Ten Stories of Azeroth", which has a farther timeline. There are hype gimmicks.

"Do you think I have time to write now, Ed?" Angela asked seriously.

"Last week, I also promised to write the script for the sequel of "Toy Story." Ed did not give up.

"I also said at the time, at least after I'm busy," the girl retorted unceremoniously, "There are so many things to do, even if there is a writing plan, it will take a long time before I talk..."

Speaking of this, she stopped suddenly, then rolled her eyes, and then spoke again: "Well, Ed, after the production of my film is over, I will find time to compile a timeline for you, I will I will write it in as much detail as possible, so I think it can be used as a reference, right?"

Under Angela's gaze, Ed could only nod: "Okay, let's leave it at that for now."
