Chapter 286 284. A new era is coming!(2/3)
However, it can only be said that Miss Min is still too young. As the person next to Boss Cao's pillow, she did not realize how terrible it is to [make games].
But Liu Guangran and Deng Peiqiang next door had a deep understanding.
When Deng Peiqiang first came, he was as young and ignorant as Miss Mining, and was young and simple. In just a few years, he had been trained to become a qualified programmer.
The hairline gradually increases, and it is vaguely a trend of catching up with Liu Guangran.
However, it is also possible that Liu Guangran really has no room for further progress, so how can he make progress if his hair is gone?
"Um?"
Except for Pei Siqing, several others showed incredible eyes.
Is the boss changing his sex this time?!
How do the games produced are all in this kind of casual style of young age?
Didn’t Bomi take the adult masterpiece route before?
Before the meeting, several people had countless thoughts in their minds, such as whether it was possible to move the Honor of Kings series to their mobile phones.
But judging from the current situation, the game type Cao Yang mentioned is really different from the previous one.
"How is it?" Cao Yang closed his pen cap and turned around to look at everyone, "Is it difficult?"
"Um……"
Everyone thought for a while and looked at Pei Siqing.
"As long as Mr. Pei says there is no problem, there is no problem." Liu Guangran answered respectfully.
If Liu Qiang was here, he would definitely be extremely surprised by Liu Guangran's name of Mr. Pei Siqing and Mr. Pei.
After all, since Miss Mining became pregnant in 2002, her new colleagues who joined the company have never met Mr. Cao's wife.
Except for the ashes-level employees like Liu Guangran, most people only know that Mr. Cao has a beautiful wife. As for who is named and what name, they are not very clear about these.
Although it is a bit terrible, Liu Guangran is also telling a fact-
Pei Siqing is the person who knows the best about smartphones. She can know how much mobile phones support and what can and can't do it.
Miss Mining raised her head and looked at the painting Cao Yang drew on the blackboard. She smiled silently, "Well, there is no problem, and one of the biggest advantages of our smart screens is that we can use the function of dragging fingers, which is very suitable for the Angry Birds game."
...
"Then, for the next game, I want to make a cool and exciting game," Cao Yang said, "Have you ever played the Thunder and Lightning series?"
"Uh-huh."
Except for Pei Siqing, several others nodded.
The Thunder Series is a very famous aircraft shooting game. Simply put, on the screen, the aircraft operated by the player launches colorful bullets to destroy enemy fighter jets and bosses of different levels.
During this process, players must control the plane to avoid the barrage.
This barrage is different from the text sent by users on B station B. It is said that because the enemy fires too many bullets and forms various different patterns, covering the entire screen, it is called barrage.
The most famous thing about the game is that it brings players a very shocking bullet effect, extremely gorgeous combat effects and super difficult boss battles.
So this game has become a representative work in the airplane shooting game. At the E3 exhibition not long ago, the Thunderbolt production company also exhibited the new game "Thunderbolt 3", which will be released this year, which is also the most classic in the Thunderbolt series.
In order to give them a better understanding, Cao Yang turned on his computer, logged in Tudou and searched, and found that someone had actually uploaded a video of the launch conference of Thunder 3.
Everyone looked at it for a while, and Pei Siqing nodded slightly.
She finally knew what this was.
The reason why I chose this game direction is that fighter games can maximize the screen performance of Bomi phones.
Think about it, the special effects of bullets on the screen, the cool image of the fighter jet, and the effects of the different bullets it can fire...
When these cover the entire mobile phone screen, they must be very explosive.
In fact, the production of this game is quite simple.
The main use is-
math.
Yes, math, all barrage can be calculated using mathematical formulas, and it is very likely that a sine cosine curve can produce a very beautiful bullet effect.
What the program needs to do is a sub-object editing function. Leave the rest to the planner to write mathematical formulas and adjust parameters, and it will be OK.
The main difficulty in designing this game lies in the art expression.
So you can see-
When the program bosses showed a knowing smile on their faces, the art boss frowned silently.
"Yes, it shouldn't be a big problem," said Ma Hao. "The key lies in the performance in the future. We should have hope of doing better than the current lightning. The key lies in whether this new phone can support it."
Two hours ago, Ma Hao's understanding of mobile phones was still on Motorola and Nokia.
Although these mobile phones have now started to release [smartphone] models, the games that can be played in them are just pixel games such as Tetris and Snake.
However, just now, Ma Hao had already experienced the charm of the new phone through the sample machine brought back by the boss.
With such rich colors and such strong expressiveness, how could this be a mobile phone? It is clearly a miniature TV!
"Well, there should be no big problem with performance," Pei Siqing recorded Ma Hao's concerns, and then replied with a smile, "But you can actually test it out at that time. This is also something we really want to know about, about the maximum performance that Bomi mobile phones can support at present."
"Okay." Ma Hao nodded.
There are indeed many things that need to be tried before we can know.
Anyway, the mobile game is originally intended to show the performance of Bomi mobile phones, so of course it must be maximized.
"Yes, let's call it "Thunder Fighter"." Cao Yang said.
The main thing is to use the name "Thunder" and you have to get authorization. This is quite troublesome. It's better to change the name. Anyway, the final effect is different from the style of the plane.
...
"Finally, I want to develop another game, which I have always wanted to achieve." Cao Yang said with a smile, "The name of the game is "Monument Valley""
Mom!!!
Several people were shocked.
Damn, why is this different from the three games that Boss Cao had agreed to make before?
"Fruit Assassin", "Angry Birds", "Thunder Fighter" to the present "Monument Valley"
This is the fourth game.
But thinking about it, there is actually no big problem. It’s just opening an extra project team, which is all developed in parallel anyway.
As a senior art, Cao Yang likes the game "Monument Valley" from the bottom of his heart. Its appearance directly amazes Cao Yang in his previous life. This is the first thing that can turn something that cannot appear in the real world into reality in the game.
Moreover, whether it is from the game style to the puzzle solving process or the philosophical significance it shows, this work can be called a masterpiece.
At least in the mind of art, it is a masterpiece.
Monument Valley is a very interesting puzzle game. In this game, you need to turn and drag the pattern in the game to make it look different, leading the protagonist Ada to the end.
...
"In the art industry, there is a very famous mathematical painting master named Moritz Conelis Escher." Cao Yang sat at the conference table and told everyone about the origin of the game Monument Valley. "Escher's paintings are full of impossible structures, paradoxes, cycles, etc. You can see the application of mathematical concepts such as geometry, polyhedrons, topology, and both artistic and scientific. Therefore, some people call him the "Master of Visual Illusion" or the "Master of Space Paradox".
Cao Yang picked up the pen and drew a staircase that rotated and rose and ended up connecting on the whiteboard.
"You will find that no matter how you walk, you will keep going up, but you can't walk out of this stairs. This is a unique feeling caused by a wonderful visual illusion."
Everyone looked at the paintings Cao Yang painted on the whiteboard and fell into deep thought.
"This game is about applying a lot of interesting graphic designs to it."
Cao Yang spent about half an hour explaining to them how to play such a visual illusion game.
After listening to Boss Cao's words, Art Director Ma Hao's pen dropped to the ground with a squeak, making a crisp sound.
The scene was silent.
Others may not understand what such a design is really powerful, but for art director Ma Hao, he can apply the inspiration of Escher's paintings to mobile games, and provides such a strange but extremely exquisite illusion of perspectives and illusions.
He can only say that Boss Cao is really a genius.
And it's the kind he can't catch up with in his whole life.
"Is this too amazing?" Ma Hao exclaimed, "If this game can be really made, it will definitely surprise the whole world."
Now that he thought about the visual puzzle game he could make, his whole body trembled.
It's so amazing, this is no longer a game production that normal people can imagine.
...
Cao Yang selected these four from his numerous game memories, but there was actually a reason.
Whether the game itself is fun or not is making money is second-most important. The most important thing is to show the performance and highlights of Bomi phones through the game itself.
For example, Fruit Ninja needs to display fast swipe and multi-touch functions.
Angry Birds, showing long press, drag, and accumulate power
