Chapter 455 This Is Work

After understanding that this was a store opening simulation game, Huang Ping began to carefully check the settings in the game.

The current trend of games on the market is meat pigeons, and several meat pigeon-type games are quite popular.

Moreover, the meat pigeon game has the characteristics of being easy to update and easy to achieve results. Even if the game is not very good at the beginning, the reputation of the game can be improved through continuous updates, and the sales of the game will continue to rise.

The game is what it is, and making it is not everything. Subsequent updates and optimizations are also a huge part. Part of the reason is also related to the increasing cost of game production.

But the boss game is different again.

He has always been at his peak when he appeared.

Not only that, the boss can also arrange the Easter eggs in the game, prepare the subsequent gameplay, and prepare all kinds of interesting settings, so that players can have a great time playing.

Someone once analyzed that making games in Fangcheng is actually quite simple.

Add some good settings, add some art, add some content, add some good AI, and that's it.

But the problem is, everyone knows the truth, but if you can’t do it, you just can’t do it.

Even if he sells his ancestral tomb, he can't do it.

After gathering his divergent thoughts, Huang Ping turned his attention back to the game in front of him.

While Huang Ping was thinking, someone had already arrived at his shop.

The other person was a man who looked like a World War II veteran, wearing a gray woolen coat, a gas mask on his face, a saber on his waist, and an old-fashioned rifle on his back.

They walked in in groups of three, with neat steps, as if they were the same person.

However, unlike his stern appearance, his eyes under the gas mask are very clear, even a little shy.

After standing in front of Huang Ping, the leader said, "Excuse me, is there anything for sale here?"

Huang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then immediately opened the item menu under the interface and found that he had very few things to sell.

The game provides initial funds to purchase items. If the total value of the principal and the items in the store is low, you can also apply for subsidies from the system to prevent players from getting stuck.

After quickly browsing the items here, he said to the soldier in front of him: "Some food, but it may not be too delicious. Drinking water, and some clothes."

"Okay, what's the price?"

"Um……"

After thinking for a while, Huang Ping decided to make a small profit and just give the other party a price slightly higher than the cost price.

"One kilogram of food costs ten yuan, and one kilogram of water costs two yuan. For other clothes, it depends on what style you want."

The price made the soldier in front of him stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately, for fear that Huang Ping would change his mind.

"We need three hundred kilograms of food and the same weight of drinking water. Can you supply it to us tonight?"

"No, just do it now."

After choosing to purchase, Huang Ping saw the purchase icon and progress bar appear on his panel, and there were corresponding tips below: [The greater the total quality of the purchased items, the slower the purchase will be. Some research technologies can make this faster. 】

This setting makes Huang Ping feel more immersed, and he also feels that he has really become a store manager and is running his own small store.

Games are like this. Often a simple little detail can make players feel good and willing to invest time and energy in this game.

After hearing Huang Ping say that it was okay now, the three soldiers immediately stood there and waited silently.

However, they found that Huang Ping did not take any action. They were silent for a few minutes and then asked: "Aren't you going to pick up the goods?"

"Already picking it up."

"……oh."

After continuing in silence for a while, they were surprised to find that the shelves that were empty just now were suddenly filled with goods. Simply packaged food was displayed on the shelves, filling the small store to the brim.

Looking at this bizarre scene, the soldier captain was silent for a while, and his tone couldn't help but be respectful: "Are you a practitioner?"

It's a bit strange to say the word "practitioner" from the other party, but it's already so mixed here, so Huang Ping doesn't feel anything.

So, he immediately said: "No, just an ordinary store manager."

"...That's it. I understand, you don't want to reveal your name. Okay, I will call you the store manager from now on. This is money, please keep it."

After accepting the money handed over by the other party, Huang Ping saw the soldier captain carrying the 600 kilograms of goods on his shoulders without any change in the balance of his body, and walked out firmly.

Standing at the door, he stopped, and then said: "Store manager, I feel that your store will have great potential in the future. So it is best to name the store well."

"Yes, I will."

After sending away the first batch of customers, Huang Ping found that there was indeed no naming process when he entered the game.

After writing down this requirement, Huang Ping felt that the AI ​​developed by Fangcheng was becoming more and more humane.

They actually asked for it.

If this continues, people will no longer be needed for game testing in the future. Game producers only need a batch of AI to help with testing, which will greatly reduce game development costs and production cycles.

But that’s the boss’s own patent, so it’s up to the boss himself.

After getting the first start-up capital, Huang Ping began to check the currency use of the game.

Simulation business games are divided into several major categories, among which there are basically a few stereotypes related to stores.

Or it's a level-breaking type, where players need to pass each level. Representative works include "Daddy's Burger Shop", "Here's a Street", etc.

The players' desire to play the game is enhanced by constantly developing new levels, but generally the end of the game is like fighting, and the hand speed of many years cannot cope with the challenges of subsequent levels.

The other type is regional management, which continuously develops in a specific place and continuously improves its power by accumulating funds and technology. However, in the later period, the game content will also be exhausted and players will be trapped in the situation of continuous accumulation of funds, resulting in Players quit playing when their interest is exhausted.

On top of this, there are various variants, such as "Skyline", which focuses on a misbehaving person, and the "Atelier" series, which focuses on plot. There are many places to explore in it.

And Fang Cheng's new game should be the latter, so how will the boss avoid the subsequent situation?

Opening the game's scientific research and development list, Huang Ping understood what his boss was doing.

Just let players have something to play.

It's simple and crude, but it's an approach that others can't imitate.

There is quite a list of scientific research in the game, and different goods are divided into categories such as "food", "weapons", "clothes", and "scooters", and each category has different subcategories.

The packaging of food can be made more exquisite, the taste of food can be made better, and the cost can also be continuously studied through research, thus allowing players to make more profits.

Not only that, you can also develop new food menus and even create new recipes through free combination, which greatly improves the playability and explorability of the game.

Seeing this, Huang Ping felt that Fang Cheng had inserted a world into this game so that players could always have something to play with.

After trying it, Huang Ping found that the food here can be researched very quickly, and he can research it if he has money.

And when the items are researched to a certain extent, new props can appear, and then the research can continue.

Different items can also be mutated, and the mutated items will have new attributes and are highly random, allowing players to have different characteristics and randomness every time they play.

But will this make the game too professional?

But after seeing the staffing, Huang Ping found that he was worrying too much.

In the early and middle stages of the game, you can start your own assembly line in the basement. Players only need to set up the assembly line themselves, and then they can automatically research and replenish supplies, making everything automated.

At that time, players can continue to research and develop items and cross-combine items from different industries to create newer and more interesting items.

Just imagining it, Huang Ping felt extremely excited!

With huge game content, easy-to-use modes, and various nodes from quantitative change to qualitative change, this game fully demonstrates Fangcheng's game concept, which is to feed players with a large amount of exquisite game content.

After carefully experiencing the content in the game, Huang Ping discovered that a game about opening a store can be so rich and interesting.

As expected of a boss!

Not only Huang Ping, but other people in the studio also started playing the game, and then discovered a problem...

This game is too awesome!

After selling things, you can get currency, and then you can start researching and getting better things. The continuous feedback will make people immersed in the flow without knowing it, and their minds are full of "Research one more, and I can do it." Open a new item."

Moreover, the various NPCs in the game are also an excellent feedback point. When they know that the items they want are here, their reactions are lifelike. Some NPCs who get urgently needed items sometimes cry with joy.

In addition to giving money as a reward, they will occasionally send some novel things. Researching these things will sometimes lead to some new props or decorations, making the game full of positive feedback every moment.

From the beginning of the contact, Xiaodouzi couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear, his eyes looked like he had discovered a new world, and he kept playing.

Even monkeys who don't like this kind of slow-paced games are addicted to it, scratching their heads and ears from time to time, and occasionally pulling Huang Ping to ask some questions.

Although there are no fierce battles or ups and downs of the plot, business simulation games have their own unique slow charm, and this game undoubtedly takes this point to the extreme.

After flexing his fingers, Huang Ping felt his fighting spirit rising.

Come on, boss, I won't let you down!

Since numerical experience in simulation games is extremely important, Xiaodouzi became a key part of this project.

In order to make the game better, Xiaodouzi racked his brains every day and constantly tested various data. After half a month, it became as if he had just returned from wandering.

Looking at such little Douzi, Fang Cheng felt that this child seemed to be pushing himself too hard.

Looking at the other party kindly, Fang Cheng said: "You have worked hard during this period, do you want any reward?"

Xiaodouzi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Work overtime..."

"Don't even think about it."

"Then no. Boss, I have to continue working. Can you please don't disturb me?"

Looking at Xiaodouzi who had no desires and desires, he returned to his seat and began to search for the question "how to reward employees".

But after looking around, he found that all the methods he could use had been used, and there was basically nothing left.

Leaning back in his chair, he discovered that how to reward employees was also a troublesome matter.

A month later, the game has been largely developed.

During this period, the game review organization led by Teacher Shen has been established.

This is a somewhat difficult job. The pressure from above and the pressure from below coexist, making every step very difficult for them.

The existence of the review agency will undoubtedly take away some people's cake, but now domestic policies are biased towards game development, and the review team is conducive to game development, so we can only watch the establishment of this group.

And according to the characteristics of the country, once an organization is established, it is very difficult to dismantle it. However, this does not mean that others will not make some small moves, so you must be careful in every game.

And the pressure below is even greater.

A large number of games need to be reviewed, and some game manufacturers are trying different tricks to get their games approved. However, their current manpower is limited, and it is good to be able to complete one game in a week.

Teacher Shen, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly shaken awake by someone. Standing up like a zombie, he walked to the computer without being asked, showing the extraordinary self-management ability of an old social beast.

After installing the newly sent game, he yawned and asked, "Where are the newcomers?"

"Two people came, but after seeing the working conditions here, they didn't even submit a resignation letter, so they just ran away." A half-bald man next to him said weakly.

"Young people today...I used to..."

"Forget about you back then!" the person next to him said angrily, "Back then you often went to the bathroom to sleep by yourself when no one was around. That time you slept for a whole day, and we all thought you had run away, and the recruitment notice was all Released."

"Is this happening?" Teacher Shen asked doubtfully.

"Even if I die, I will engrave this on my tombstone to let people know what kind of sanctimonious Teacher Shen is like!"

Just when he was about to retort, a voice sounded from behind: "If you have time to chat, why not review some new games quickly? My phone calls have been flooded today, and they all hope that we can review them quickly. Either Crying about poverty, or hinting that you can help me. Am I short of money? Who am I looking down on? "

"It's okay for you. You don't know the game I'm reviewing today. It actually has a short interactive movie. If I knew who the opponent was, I would have to punch him twice!"

"That's it, show it to me later, and I'll criticize it with you."

The chat made the old gamers here feel a little more comfortable, but after seeing more and more games that needed to be reviewed, they sighed again.

Returning to his seat dejectedly, Teacher Shen found that a new demand had been raised.

He was originally going to put this request in the folder to be reviewed, but after seeing the sender, he felt that his sleepiness had disappeared and he became energetic.

Fangcheng Studio!

There’s a new game out!

Looking around, Teacher Shen found that no one noticed him, so he quietly chose to install it and started the game.

This is work, this is work, this is work!

After completing the psychological construction for himself, Teacher Shen started playing with peace of mind.
