Chapter 151 Preparation and Museum Trip First Update

Everyone was still a little confused when they heard it.

After all, this is an area that most of them have not set foot in yet.

However, they all had experience in making Fire Emblem before. In fact, as long as it is a role-playing game, whether it is a CRPG or a JRPG, they all have something in common.

However, the heavily armored mechs are a bit different.

There is no so-called level system in this game. Instead, you have to constantly strengthen the tank you are driving.

By constantly adjusting and modifying the tank along the way, the tank can have sufficient combat effectiveness.

This kind of accessories adjustment is similar to that of later generations, as well as modification and other gameplay.

This game can be regarded as the first of its kind and laid a little foundation.

Through Zuo Zhen's description of the basics of the game, they also began to formulate a rough prototype of the game in their minds.

What is the best perspective for the game?

It should be from a bird's eye view, just like Fire Emblem.

As for the gameplay and some of the unique features of this game, they were still a little confused and didn't know what to do.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Zhen began to patiently explain to them.

The program of the game is not a problem. Zuo Zhen only needs to make requests, and then the programmer will complete the tasks given by Zuo Zhen.

If you really can't finish it and encounter problems, Zuo Zhen can also provide support and solve some problems.

Zuo Zhen elaborated to the point where he began to explain the world view setting to everyone, including what kind of sound effects should be used. Is a mechanical-like sound effect style better, or should we add some metal collision sounds?

Or maybe it’s the core gameplay of tank modification in the game, how to gradually improve players’ weapon modification capabilities.

This is a curve that must be smoothed out.

This curve must not collapse.

If it collapses, the core of the entire game will be lost.

Then there's the story.

There is no real plot setting specialist in the current company team, only Zuo Zhen is handling the story alone.

It's okay now, but I will definitely have to find someone to solve it in the future.

A role-playing game often contains very complex game content. After all, one person's brain capacity is limited and it is impossible to cover everything.

But in the eyes of everyone, Zuo Zhen is very different.

All of them have been working for almost a year and already have their own experience in game development.

Through experience, they could see that Zuo Zhen was very powerful.

Zuo Zhen can consider every detail of a game in great detail.

Even the lines for a small side story in the game can be conceived on the spot.

There is also a set of modification methods for tanks. How to allow players to experience a smooth difficulty increasing curve is also a science.

This is simply like Zuo Zhen, a veteran who has played countless games.

But Zuo Zhen's real age is only nineteen years old this year.

Maybe, this is genius.

After Zuo Zhen's very careful and detailed explanation, everyone finally got a clue.

If they still didn’t understand, Zuo Zhen directly suggested that they first play Dragon Quest or The Legend of Zelda in Japanese.

Both works are quite classic role-playing games.

After playing it, they will roughly understand the entire process of some such games.

According to the preliminary plan, the overall framework of the game will be built in the first ten days or so.

First design the big map of the game.

Then we started adding various contents to the game map.

This process will be much slower.

Even if Zuo Zhen had experience in his previous life, it would not be something he could do in a short time.

This process is estimated to take about a month.

Then, there is the main line design of the game and the gameplay design. Based on this calculation, the total production cycle of this game should be within two months.

This is already the most ideal state.

If you encounter some program incompatibility issues or vicious loopholes, you will have to start over again.

This will have to be tested slowly.

"Zuo Zhen, I'm a little clueless about the mechanical industrial style art you just mentioned in the conference room."

After the meeting, Yu Mengchen was the first to find Zuo Zhen.

When she was listening at the meeting, she was all focused on the story behind the game.

To be honest, she quite likes this story background.

In the world view of the wasteland, a bounty hunter drives a tank on an adventure. This does sound more exciting than the story of a brave man and a princess.

However, the game's art gave her a hard time.

She really couldn't think of what the art style of machines and tanks looked like.

Zuo Zhen said: "It's simple. We just need to draw it according to the real tanks. As for the fictitious robots, I can also help you."

"Realistic tanks? Where can we see real tanks?"

"Of course there is only one option, and that is a museum, and it is the kind of museum that focuses on military affairs."

"Military museum? There doesn't seem to be one in Qingshan City, right?"

"There really isn't, so we can go somewhere, the capital."

Yu Mengchen's eyes were wide open and full of agility.

"Who's going?"

"There must be you. But it's definitely not safe for you alone, so just let me follow you."

Originally, Zuo Zhen had no such plan.

But Yu Mengchen currently cannot conceive of the kind of mechanical aesthetic style that heavy-duty mechatronics require.

The only solution I could think of was to see the actual tank.

Then the Military Museum is definitely the first choice.

"Let's... go together?"

"It's definitely not safe for you to be alone. Just go away for a few days and then come back. By then, the team should have the game framework ready."

"What if they come to you with something?"

"This is simple." Zuo Zhen said, "When you arrive in the capital, go to the guest house and leave a phone number. If they have anything to do with me, they can just call me directly."

Although there are not many telephone channels to overseas.

But domestic phone calls are already quite common.

Even Big Brother is about to be released in the southern provinces by the end of the year.

Everyone in the city hall promised to get a long-distance phone line for themselves because of the development of wireless communication technology.

"Then...then I have to go home and get ready! When are we going to leave?"

It seems that Yu Mengchen is a little impatient?

Zuo Zhen's heart felt a little bit plucked.

But he looked calm on the surface.

"It's early rather than late. Since you don't have any inspiration or clues now, just buy two train tickets for the nearest date and you'll be ready tomorrow morning."

"good!"
