I! game designer! Crying players all over the world!

Chapter 4



Zhu Ziren saw the smile on Lin Mo's face.

For some reason, he felt a chill all over his body.

He thought to himself, could it be that Lin Mo was going to make a game similar to "Dig for Survival" and participate in the school's game making competition?

Then ......

The official opening of the competition.

He didn't dare to imagine it!

But this shouldn't be possible, right?

Zhu Ziren felt that Lin Mo was not such a person.

Well, it should ......

Thinking of this, Zhu Ziren cautiously asked, "Then, that Brother Mo, are you going to participate in the school's game making competition?" What type of games are you going to make?"

"Of course, how can I let go of such a good opportunity." Lin Mo said as a matter of course, "But what kind of game to make, I have to think about it......"

Hearing this, Zhu Ziren breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Lin Mo said that he should think about it.

It shows that he is ready to make a game seriously.

It shouldn't be like "Dig for Survival".

However, where does Zhu Ziren know.

In Lin Mo's mind at the moment, all kinds of torture games that he had played were flashing.

Pulling out any one is enough to make players angry and scolding their mothers.

But correspondingly, the negative sentiment will also rise!

A sigh interrupted Lin Mo's thoughts.

I saw Zhu Ziren sigh and said: "Actually, I am also going to participate in this competition, but if you participate in Brother Mo, I guess there is no chance." "

Oh, then what game do you want to make?" Lin Mo said curiously.

Zhu Ziren is a top student.

The ability to produce games is naturally not weak.

Lin Mo knew this very well.

I just don't know what Zhu Ziren's level is.

"I've actually made a dome yet. Zhu Ziren said wistfully, "I just feel a little problematic, but I don't know how to modify it."

"There's a dome to take it out and take a look, maybe I can help you with some advice." Lin Mo said with a smile.

Zhu Ziren thought about it and felt that it was too.

He has already seen Lin Mo's talent in game design.

Maybe you can give constructive suggestions to help him make the game better.

So Zhu Ziren got up and took his laptop, put it on Lin Mo's desk and opened it.

Move your mouse and click on a game dome called Tower Defense 0.1.

When Lin Mo saw the name of the game, he realized: "It turns out that you made a tower defense game. "

Yes, this type of game has been quite popular lately. Zhu Ziren explained.

It's the year 2000.

The development of Azure Star's gaming industry has only just begun.

The main popular one is the RPG genre, which is role-playing games.

That doesn't mean other types of games don't exist, though.

It's just that there hasn't been any big hits yet.

For example, the tower defense game that Zhu Ziren wants to make.

People in the industry think this form of game is interesting, but it's just fun.

Because there is no big hit tower defense game that has sold more than one million copies.

Plus the lightweight nature of tower defense games.

Many veteran game designers don't bother to develop this kind of casual game.

But Lin Mo won't see it that way.

He knows very well that whether the game is fun or not has nothing to do with light and casual.

Games don't just have big scenes, big special effects, and big productions.

Gameplay, creativity, ideas.

These are the core of a game,

and it just so happens that Lin Mo has played many excellent tower defense games in his previous life.

So after Zhu Ziren clicked on the game dome.

He quickly discovered the shortcomings of this tower defense game.

"First of all, it's a matter of style, the turrets and monsters in you here don't feel a little uniform. "

The monsters look cute, but the turrets are realistic.

"And the level design is a bit problematic, the scene is too monotonous.

Lin Mo recalled the tower defense games he had played in his previous life, and pointed out the problems in Zhu Ziren's game.

"Hmm...... Actually, I was hesitant about what style to use. Zhu Ziren said entangledly, "The tower defense games on the market now are realistic style, but I want to try if there is a way out of this cute style." "

Oh? So that's what you thought.

Lin Mo suddenly became interested.

Because he really knows.

Will the cute style tower defense game be popular with players?

"Do you usually like to eat turnips?" Lin

Mo suddenly asked a puzzling question.

"Uh...... You alright. Zhu Ziren replied suspiciously.

He doesn't understand what turnips have to do with tower defense games.

"Okay, I just had an idea to help you change the game a little bit.

"Really? I'm sorry for you, Brother Mo. Zhu Ziren said with some surprise.

Lin Mo can make a hit game like "Dig to Survive".

Then the level of game design must be higher than his.

So Lin Mo offered to help him revise it.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to refuse.

It's just that Zhu Ziren doesn't know it at this time.

The little bit that Lin Mo said in his mouth was actually a billion points!

From dawn to dark.

The day is fleeting.

Lin Mo finally changed Zhu Ziren's game dome beyond recognition.

Zhu Ziren sat on the side, still yawning at first.

But at this moment, when he saw the full face of the game, his whole eyes widened.

"This, is this still my game?" Zhu

Ziren couldn't help but have a big question mark in his heart.

I saw the inside of the computer screen at this time.

A variety of cute props appear in the idle area of the level map.

Bottle Cannon, Bomb Star, Sunflower, Celebratory Fan, ......

The mission of the game is to defend the turnip from being eaten by aliens.

Each radish has 10 health.

That is, there are 10 chances to be "bitten" by monsters.

When the health is 0, the mission fails.

And Lin Mo even designed the monster by the way.

Minions, flying monsters, tin monsters, split monsters, ......

Different monsters have different mechanics.

Flying monsters are very fast, so it's best to use a fan to slow them down first.

The Tin Monster is extremely slow, but has a lot of health, and adds money during the turret attack.

And the money added is related to attack power.

It is best to attack with turrets such as bottle cannons or magic balls.

To put it simply, different monsters have different coping strategies.

Players can choose the right turret to build.

But the most important thing is this cute style.

Wouldn't you like to build a turret that looks cute?"

Lin Mo put down the mouse and stretched.

He has been able to follow the memory to the maximum.

A recreation of the well-known tower defense game from the past life.

Although in some details, there will definitely be differences.

But it doesn't hurt.

This game only needs to grasp the general direction.

Whether it's props, maps, turrets, or monsters, they all have to be designed according to this style.

Lin Mo had already helped Zhu Ziren set an example.

The rest needs Zhu Ziren to play by himself.

"Brother Mo, this game ......"

Zhu Ziren didn't know what to say anymore.

He looked at Lin Mo at the moment, and he was so moved.

"Brother Mo, I won't say anything, if you want me to help in the future, you just ask, I will not be ambiguous. Zhu Ziren patted his chest and reassured.

"Oh, what are we talking about our brother doing.

Lin Mo waved his hand a little embarrassed.

Zhu Ziren shook his head and said firmly: "Brother Mo, strictly speaking, this game is completely the creative planning you gave, although I am still responsible for the follow-up production, but I want to add your name to the final list of producers!"

"Uh...... Actually, this is not necessary.

Lin Mo wanted to refuse.

He just did some "insignificant" planning work.

But Zhu Ziren's attitude was tough: "No! I must add your name! The two of us are co-developers of this game! Otherwise, I would rather give up this opportunity!"

"That...... Okay, you can add it if you want.

Lin Mo nodded helplessly.

Hearing this, Zhu Ziren nodded with satisfaction.

But soon he had another problem.

"By the way, Brother Mo, you can give this game a name. Zhu Ziren explained, "I'm really not very good at choosing names, and the main design idea of this game is provided by you, so it's up to you to choose a name."

"The name of the game? Lin Mo said with a smile, "Let's call it "Defending the Carrot"." "

Defend the Carrot...... Defend the radish ......"

Zhu Ziren muttered two sentences in a low voice, and finally his eyes lit up.

The name of this game is good

! It's very apt

! People know it's a cute style when they hear it!

So Zhu Ziren hurriedly changed the file name of the game dome to "Defend the Radish".

However, this game is not yet finished.

Lin Mo just determined the overall style.

The rest of the level design, the main interface design, the sound effects, and so on.

Zhu Ziren still has a lot of work to do.

Even with the intelligent algorithms of a powerful game engine, the job is not easy.

Before the start of the game production competition, Zhu Ziren is expected to be very busy.

"

Crazy!Crazy!"What a garbage game!Which bastard designer developed it!

"Isn't this purely to torture the player?"

At this moment, a young man with long hair walked into the dormitory.

He looked angry, and kept complaining.

"Liu Xingming, what's wrong with you, why did you come back so late?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

This is another roommate of his, and judging from the memories of the original body, the relationship between the two is not bad.

"Hey, don't mention it.

Liu Xingming, a long-haired young man, casually threw the computer bag on his desk.

Then he lifted the bench, sat down in front of Lin Mo and Zhu Ziren, and began to complain.

"Today, our tutor arranged an experiential assignment for us to analyze the design excellence of a game, you don't know how difficult that game is!"

"What game?" Lin Mo continued to ask.

"It's just a very strange game! What is it called...... "Digging to Survive"! The character's mode of action is only to control the mouse and pick the sledgehammer, can you believe it? And the character doesn't even have legs! If you don't have legs, you can play with a hammer!" Liu

Xingming became more and more angry, and slapped the table again and again.

"Uh......"

Lin Mo was speechless for a while.

Should he believe it, or should he not know?

If Liu Xingming is to know, he is the author of the game of "Digging for Survival".

Will Liu Xingming do it directly in the dormitory?

After all, look at Liu Xingming's appearance now.

He should have been tortured by "Digging for Survival" today.

"Eh, Lin Mo, do you want to give this game a try, although it is a bit difficult, it can also make people feel a deep peace.

The corners of Liu Xingming's mouth suddenly showed a wicked smile.

He thought that he had been tortured by this game for a day today.

The idea that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all is born in my heart.

Such a fun game, you must share it with your friends!"

"Forget it, I won't play it." Lin Mo wanted to refuse.

But in the next second, Liu Xingming bet: "As long as you can clear the customs, I will cover all of your three meals a day this week

!" Lin Mo heard this, and hurriedly changed his words: "Okay! I'm a person who likes to challenge difficult games the most!"

The main reason is that he is really poor now.

Although "Dig for Survival" sold more than 100,000 copies.

But he won't get the money until at least next month.

So now Lin Mo is just a poor man.

And the challenge posed by Liu Xingming.

There was really no difficulty for Lin Mo.

He doesn't know how many times he played "Digging to Survive" in his previous life.

It is completely possible to give Liu Xingming a speedrun!

One speedrun, another week's meal.

Lin Mo calculated this account very clearly.

I only hope that Liu Xingming will not regret it afterwards.

However, Liu Xingming at this moment looked even more excited than Lin Mo.

"That's it! You have to clear the level! You can't go back!"

"As long as you don't go back." Lin Mo said speechlessly.

"Hehe, I will never regret it, Zhu Ziren can testify!" Liu Xingming said confidently.

He couldn't wait to see Lin Mo break through his defenses now.

And Zhu Ziren on the side already had some faces that couldn't help but tremble at this moment.

He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

I can only laugh secretly in my heart.

At the same time, he silently put a cross on Liu Xingming's wallet.
