Chapter 12 BE Ending
Unsurprisingly, Han Chuang's astonishing achievements in studying the simulator really impressed Xiao Lu.
It will be easier next time.
Now that he knew that the studio had money, although it was not a lot, it would definitely be enough to make a new game, Xiao Lu quickly got into work mode and made a suggestion as a game planner.
"Self-esteem?"
Several people looked at each other.
"Yes, pride!"
Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Xiao Lu quickly added: "Brother Chen has already laid out the general framework of our new game."
"The player needs to play a high school student who has to stay with relatives because he is studying abroad. So I think... how to protect one's self-esteem as much as possible in the home of harsh relatives is the core of this game. How to play.”
"Wonderful!" Chen Ba praised.
Xiao Lu did have two brushes, and this taught him a lesson.
yes!
Since it's a new game, why don't you let go of the damn "stamina" and "learning motivation"?
The idea of converting "self-esteem" into numerical values to reflect the core gameplay of the game is simply brilliant!
"Self-esteem can be understood as the character's health or satiety. Only when it is always maintained at a certain high level can the game be successfully passed."
Xiao Lu continued to explain: "It can also be extended. When the character's self-esteem is too low, it may trigger various BE endings, such as depression and autism, or even..."
Xiao Lu did not say the last sentence, but replaced it with the action of hanging.
"Is this...is this too depressing?" Yang Dong was a little surprised.
Although Chen Ba has already played to the limit in the Hanchuang Kudu simulator, and many Be endings are cruel and heartbreaking, but compared to Xiao Luti's Be ending, it can only be said that Chen Ba is still too conservative.
In the game [Hanchuang Kushu Simulator], the worst and worst ending is for the protagonist to get sick, and the probability of getting a terminal illness is very low.
Secondly, he tried hard, but in the end he failed to change his fate. He stayed with the old scalper forever, living a life like his father's generation, with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky day after day.
When he played Hanchuang Kudu Simulator before, Yang Dong already felt that some of the endings were too cruel, which made him feel panicked.
But now, after listening to Xiao Lu’s thoughts, he suddenly felt that the Be ending of [Han Chuang Kudu Simulator] didn’t seem so disturbing.
As a result of his self-esteem being completely shattered, he felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Not to mention, the game plan also mentioned that "the protagonist's parents love the protagonist very much" and only chose to leave their hometown to earn college tuition for him.
As a result, the tuition fee was paid, but the son was lost!
Damn it, I can’t think about it anymore...
Yang Dong, who felt that if he continued to think about it, he would feel uncomfortable all day long, shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his mind, and asked: "But this value alone cannot support the core gameplay of a game, right?"
"That's right!"
This time, before Xiao Lu opened his mouth, Chen Ba took the initiative to answer: "Just relying on one value may not be enough, so I also got another value: pocket money!"
"Because you are living under someone else's care, you need to seek the approval of your temporary guardian for everything you want, the food you want to eat, and the things you want to do."
"I didn't expect it before, but now I feel that this pocket money can be connected with self-esteem."
If you are rejected when asking for pocket money, your self-esteem will be lowered. If you want to get a new pair of sneakers, if you are rejected if you want to eat dragon fruit, your self-esteem will also be lowered...
Various events emerged in Chen Ba's mind, and at this moment, he made a decision.
"The relatives of the protagonist's boarding house can't all be sarcastic people, otherwise there's no way to explain why their family would accept the protagonist's stay."
"That's right!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
This doesn't make sense logically. After all, the family is full of mean people, so they wouldn't have accepted the protagonist as a hostel in the first place. There must be a very real relative among them.
"Then the setting is to stay at the aunt's house. The aunt is very good to the protagonist, but rarely stays at home because of work."
"My uncle, my uncle's parents, my cousin, and others all expressed their disapproval of the protagonist's arrival as a poor relative. They felt that he was just a burden!"
Xiao Lu added this setting and said with a smile: "Although it sounds very abstract, because my aunt's face is not good enough to directly expel people, so I can only express my disgust in roundabout ways. This should be reasonable, right?"
"Reasonable!"
Zhang Xiaojuan, who had been listening to everyone's speech but never said a word, nodded wildly and said: "Some relatives have such an attitude. They use all kinds of roundabout sarcasm and belittling. Their words are very irritating."
oh! Got a story?
Chen Ba and the three of them all looked at Zhang Xiaojuan.
"Why are you looking at me? Don't you have such weird relatives in your family?" Zhang Xiaojuan asked.
"Uh...yes!"
Chen Ba and the others thought about it for a while and felt that their words were rude or not. Everyone should have one or two such weird relatives.
It's just that we rarely interact with each other, so I didn't think about it for a while.
"Okay, let's not go too far."
Chen Ba coughed and quickly stopped the topic: "Speaking of the game itself, Zhang Xiaojuan is responsible for the art, which is mainly completed by the outsourcing team. The programming and plot are handled by the three of us. Is there any problem?"
"no problem!"
Everyone shook their heads.
As the boss of the studio, Chen Ba has arranged specific matters, so how can anyone else object?
Besides, this division of labor is reasonable.
Except for music and testing, Chen Ba did not arrange specific manpower, and basically had dedicated people in charge of the rest.
As a small team with only four people including the boss, why is the division of labor so detailed?
If we really want to break it down, then the game planning alone can be divided into numerical planning, battle planning, level planning, plot planning... Tianba Game Studio only has these four people, and it’s not enough to cram them all in!
Don’t be too demanding for a small team.
Those subdivided businesses and division of responsibilities are basically only found in large teams or even large companies. A small studio like this with less than 10 people is enough to meet the three major needs of art, planning and programming.
Oh yes...
In terms of game art, for any studio with less than 30 people, there is basically no need to report any expectations, and most of them are outsourced.
This isn't big news.
On the other hand, a grassroots team like Tianba Game Studio, which only has three or four people, actually does not need to rely on outsourcing in terms of programming, but does everything by itself. This is big news.
"Are you too busy to come here?"
Yang Dong was a little skeptical. Among the three of them, only Chen Ba was a programming expert, and the rest were half-baked. Can such a combination really finish programming a game?
"It's okay, I'm here!"
I dare not say anything else, at least in terms of programming, Chen Ba dared to challenge an entire team by himself.
Even if all client development, server development, engine development, and tool development were called, he would not panic at all.
Don't ask, asking is cheating!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!
