Chapter 39 Studio LOGO
Traditional fighting games are indeed lacking in expressiveness.
This is mainly because traditional fighting games focus on technical operations. Whether using fists and feet, or weapons and qigong, the pursuit is always the feeling of hitting the flesh.
KO!
When players perform a set of smooth combos and successfully defeat their opponents, the thrill of crushing the opponents at the operational level will make them feel great and have a sense of accomplishment.
This is also a major reason why most fighting games focus more on the smoothness of movements, the feeling of hitting and the feedback of being hit, and neglect the expressiveness of the picture.
But Chen Ba thought differently.
He feels that fighting games do not necessarily have to pursue the feeling of "punch to flesh", but can also be extremely gorgeous and grand scenes.
In his conception, what he wanted to do was not two hooligans fighting on the street, but two supreme strong men fighting desperately for the great justice in their hearts or the cause and effect of the Tao, standing in the grand perspective of all living beings in the universe.
For example.
On one side is the Supreme Heavenly Emperor who protects the human race, and on the other side is the Forbidden Zone Supreme who stirs up dark turmoil.
If a character like this fights to the death, the noise will certainly be exaggerated. The great road may not be destroyed, but destroying a few planets should be a piece of cake, right?
So here comes the question.
This kind of grand scene is exciting enough just by reading the novel and imagining it. What would the scene be like if it were made into a game?
"No basic attacks, all ultimates!"
Chen Ba said in a ridiculous tone, "After practicing to this level, how can there be any such thing as a normal attack? If you must say it, even a normal attack will become extremely terrifying with the blessing of one's own great power."
In the novel, the strong can suppress the weak with their aura alone, and can even kill people with their eyes.
In order to demonstrate such exaggerated combat power, it is necessary to add various "phenomena of heaven and earth" to the skills.
Commonly known as special effects light pollution! "In that case, let's put the battle background in the starry sky."
Yang Dong seemed to be intrigued by Chen Ba's description. He said thoughtfully, "Make some destructible models of stars, planets, white dwarfs, and neutron stars."
"...The aftermath of the battle between the two sides accidentally affected a nearby star. After the gorgeous skill effects, the star exploded!"
"Yes, that's a good idea."
Chen Ba nodded and continued, "In this kind of battle, the result is not important. What's important is that the process of fighting is very enjoyable."
The gorgeous special effects, combined with the universe and starry sky used for destruction, immediately highlight the unique style of the fantasy fairy hero, and the combat power is also guaranteed.
The focus is still on the special effects of skills! When the Immortal King descends to the sky, the moon rises from the sea, and golden lotus grows in the sea of suffering... With all kinds of mysterious and mysterious phenomena of heaven and earth, who dares to question the combat power of the characters? The two chatted all night about how to show the style and combat power of the powerful fantasy immortal heroes and make an epoch-making fighting game.
As a result, the next day, everyone else came to the studio to start working, but Chen Ba and Yang Dong had just got up.
“What are you doing…”
Looking at the two people's noticeable dark circles, Xiao Lu asked in confusion: "Didn't you sleep last night?"
"We were so excited talking that we didn't go to bed until four o'clock."
"By the way, has the studio's logo been designed?"
After answering casually, Chen Ba asked Xiao Lu while enjoying the breakfast that Zhang Xiaojuan brought for them.
Xiao Lu nodded: "Yes, the design drawings have been sent to the studio mailbox."
"Let me see..."
After finishing his breakfast in no time, Chen Ba opened his email and took a look at the finished design of the studio’s logo.
The new logo is an acronym-shaped pattern, which cleverly combines the two English letters "TB" into a game controller pattern.
T is the connecting line of the handle, and the horizontal B is the handle.
The design is not particularly exquisite, but it did take a lot of thought, and the handle pattern also reflects the main business scope of Tianba Studio.
Most importantly…
This studio logo was designed by fans for free. What else do you want from a free design? Free is great, free is powerful! Chen Ba is very satisfied with this logo, and even thinks that free design is a bit too much, and he should be given some hard work fees anyway.
But the fan refused to take the money, and his only request was... to unblock the Cowherd Cult leader and high priest who were suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain and had no right to freedom!
“The cowherd religion is really everywhere.”
Chen Ba was also convinced. He didn't expect that even after such a blow, the Cowherd Sect was still like leeks, growing again after being cut.
How was this belief established? Is that old ox really that charming?
Chen Ba, who was confused, reluctantly announced a general amnesty at the request of the fan and lifted the seal on a large number of "high-ranking officials of the Cowherd Cult."
Resurrection, my love!
The Cowherd Cult leader and high priest who regained their freedom soon started stirring up trouble in the forum again, constantly spreading their faith to new players and making the player community a chaotic place.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But having said that.
Although the words of these players who believe in the Cowherd Cult are very abstract, their love for the game is real.
Most of the suggestions they made for the "Study Simulator" were very practical, and Chen Ba could not completely ignore their voices.
For example, mobile version! The High Priest of the Cowherding Cult initiated a vote in the player community, and more than 4,000 players hoped that Tianba Studio could launch the "Han Chuang Ku Du Simulator" for tablets and mobile phones, so that they can "herd cattle" anytime and anywhere.
Only a few dozen players clearly expressed their opposition and did not support the mobile version.
Chen Ba saw the players' petition.
In fact, Tianba Studio has been working on the porting and development of mobile terminals, but due to lack of manpower, the progress is much slower than expected.
"Xiao Zhong, I'll leave this matter to you."
Patting the new studio member on the shoulder, Chen Ba encouraged him, "Tell me if you have any difficulties. Brother Dong and I will take the time to help you."
"I see!"
As a newcomer, Zhong Shengwei was given such a difficult task right away. It was impossible for him not to feel a headache.
But he could understand it.
After all, there are only a few people in the studio, and everyone has multiple roles to play. We can't treat our current work with the same mindset as when we were working in a big company.
If it is a large company, a work group will definitely be formed for this kind of work, with multiple people working together to handle it.
But Tianba Studio does not have such human resources, so it turned out like this.
Fortunately, there is no time limit.
If Brother Ba suddenly had a brainwave and asked him to complete the task within a certain number of days, he could consider resigning now.
"We're short of people!"
After arranging specific tasks for Xiao Zhong, Chen Ba rubbed his temples and thought to himself.
The development of new games, daily maintenance and updates of old games, and porting and optimization to other platforms all require a large number of manpower.
Where do people come from? I have posted countless job postings in the same city, but with little success. There are also few responses to posts on the Dream Building Forum...
Or, go to the player exchange group and ask? (End of this chapter)
