Four days later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhao Ziluo was about to enter the conference room, he was told that the meeting was in a working group.
As soon as he stepped into the work team, pairs of eyes looked at him - more than 70 people from the "StarCraft" production team were all there! Long Qi, Zhao Mengde, Li Weian, and Li Wanjun were sitting at the front.
"Is this?" He raised his eyebrows slightly. Mod testing of a game does not require so many people, right?
The so-called module is the basic operating framework of this game.
There is not even a model, the map is just green, and the units are just red dots - mainly used to test whether a game's data can pass the level.
Most games have to go through this level when creating them - for example, for Diablo-like games, when testing, they directly use the Diablo template, which is generally public.
Li Wanjun stood up and said with a smile: "Teacher, this is the first template test of StarCraft. We want everyone to take a look. If there is any brainstorming, we can put it forward in time."
Long Qi said calmly: "Teacher, this is the first template test. We will not shy away from any questions."
Zhao Mengde also smiled and said: "After all, everyone is doing it for the betterment of the game, so we can't hide our illnesses and avoid medical treatment."
Zhao Ziluo raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled: "Then please come up, let's start directly."
Immediately, two employees came to the stage, opened the template, and a gray map appeared on the computer.
It's just pure gray, without any drawing.
The blue ones are mineral points and the green ones are gas.
One side is red and the other side is yellow. Each type of building is just a block with the name of the building marked on it. The arms produced in the building are small red dots, and only the names of the arms are marked.
Behind, the full screen of the game appeared on the big screen, without the fog of war, and everyone had turned on their computers and was ready to record.
In the template test, except that there is no art, everything else is complete, and you can see too many things!
For example, the entire game time.
For example, which race can launch an attack in five minutes, and how many troops are there? Can the opponent stop it?
Long Qi, Zhao Mengde, Li Wanjun and Li Weian are all experienced gamers. If there is any problem, they will not be able to detect it!
He would never care about Zhao Ziluo's face.
Beep... beep... beep... With the last countdown, both sides entered the game at the same time, and they immediately started operating.
They are all core employees of the StarCraft production team. Of course they know how to play the game. Blue Star has already set up the hotkeys. In an instant, the sound of keyboard tapping can be heard endlessly.
One minute, two minutes...
Three minutes later, Long Qi said softly, "Hmm", his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes became completely serious.
Not just him, everyone exchanged glances in disbelief. At least dozens of staff members opened their mouths slightly, feeling incredible!
Rhythm!
The rhythm is great!
The construction time of both sides was almost the same. This was Zerg vs. Terran. The Terran was slow to dispatch troops in the early stage. However, as soon as the bunker was erected, when the Zerg 10 farmers and medium-speed dogs rushed in, four ScVs were already surrounding the bunker, and the machine gunners were already there. In place!
"This rhythm..." Long Qi took a deep breath, the shock in his heart was indescribable!
This rhythm is so wonderful!
The Zerg used a style of play that damaged some of the economy, but took the early initiative. The human race did not damage any economy, but they lost the initiative in the early stage and entered a defensive counterattack mode.
The characteristics of the two races are very distinct! And because the initial construction and troop dispatch speeds were different, a psychological game actually formed!
Is it about initial economics?
Or should we take the initiative on the early map?
"This...is the work of a newcomer?"
He couldn't believe it.
Any game has its own rhythm, but this rhythm can only be created by a game master!
Now a newcomer actually shows a perfect rhythm on top of his first work?
This is impossible!
There were all elites in the industry at the scene, and everyone could understand it, but it was precisely because they could understand that it gave them an incredible shock!
"No, it's not just that!" An employee suppressed his shock, typed quickly, and murmured: "The speed of construction and troop dispatch is perfectly controlled!"
"When the ten dogs of the Zerg went out, the human race only had one machine gunner and a newly built bunker."
"But when the map is over and the Zerg arrive at the door of the human race, the bunker is about to be built! As long as we block it, the human race can guarantee safety!"
The employees around him saw their eyes gleaming, and said in a deep voice: "While highlighting the racial advantages, the time data is also controlled very well! Every move of the player is predicted in his mind! And a high degree of feedback is given!"
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziluo.
Is this... a newcomer?
An artist?
Just by watching the first five minutes, it would be no exaggeration to say that he is a master in the industry!
No……
Even the great masters might not be able to generate such perfect data!
A layman watching the excitement may not feel much about the collision of these little red dots.
An expert can tell the truth! Every point on the screen is now enough to amaze the Tiantong Data Group!
The discussion started quietly and got louder and louder!
"Fuck...this time data setting! It's accurate to the second! How long did Teacher Kong Fang take the test for this game? This is definitely not a data that was made on the spur of the moment!"
"The two races have reached a perfect balance in the first five minutes! As we speculated, the Zerg are good at fast attacks, while the Terrans slowly gain strength. The characteristics are so distinctive!"
"What highlights these characteristics is time... This is the magic of time! This time data setting is simply amazing!"
Li Wanjun was also stunned.
But after hearing the discussion, he still lowered his hand. At the same time, he looked at Zhao Ziluo in disbelief.
He had a bad feeling.
Everyone was immersed in the game, and as time progressed, the first large-scale collision finally began!
After the Terran brought out the heavy artillery tanks, the base defense area was impenetrable, the second mine was opened, the six barracks were in operation, and groups of machine gunners began to gather, quickly gathering one hundred, twenty, or thirty combat units.
Not to be outdone, the Zerg have two more resource areas than the human race, and the population is also at full two hundred!
After the emergence of technology balls, the human race led a large group of machine gunners and a small number of tank technology balls to start the first Northern Expedition.
In the fourth resource area of the Zerg, a large number of springtails, hydralisks, and flying dragons were watching eagerly. Just when the human troops just emerged, a full wave of Zerg units with a population of two hundred people rushed up!
"It's started...it's finally started!"
In the audience, even the masters in the first row couldn't help but tense up.
The core data test is finally here!
Large-scale combat is the most important part of interstellar data testing!
There was obviously no sound and the picture was just red dots and blue dots, but everyone in the audience was excited to see it!
The troops on both sides continue to disappear, and the data representing the population are constantly decreasing. However... the human race obviously has a smaller fighting population, but the battle losses are not as great as imagined!
"The toughness is very high!!" Li Wei'an couldn't help but slapped the table and said loudly: "The human race's troop data settings are very good! Although the machine gunners are fragile, they and the fire bats have organized a wall for the back row tanks! The Zerg race The battle loss ratio is extremely high!”
Long Qi couldn't help but say: "The tank's statistics are very good, with a long attack interval, but extremely strong attack power. It provides powerful firepower output for the human race...machine guns, tanks, fire bats, and technology balls. The data settings of several military units are...almost perfect!"
After saying that, he was stunned.
Perfect...this is a word I haven't said in many years.
Today... I actually used it on a newcomer's first game!
But……
He really couldn't fault the data settings of these three arms!
The human race lost this battle.
But the Zerg are also having a hard time!
The Zerg spent more resources building up their troops, but were defeated by the Terrans with fewer resources.
However, the Zerg still have troops! Although they can't break through the human base, they still have the initiative!
The two players were already playing attentively, while all the employees in the audience were talking crazily and recording desperately.
"Perfect data...the loss of troops on the front line and the production of troops at the back are almost balanced!"
"The troop dispatches of the two major races are not much different. The Zerg is better because it has more units and cheaper units. The Terran is better because the units are well matched and of higher quality... Oh my god, as the game progresses, the racial characteristics are not only not blurred, but become more and more The more distinct it is!”
This setting...
Really invincible!
Just when the two sides were fighting on the map, they seemed to see a real war!
The charm of data is fully revealed! There was no crushing, just both sides constantly mobilizing their troops to rush towards each other, and the rear was constantly recruiting troops!
After the fight, the two sides once again returned to a situation where you attack and I defend. The Zerg took the initiative but could not break into the human defense. The human force did not have much, but with the tanks, which were weapons for defending the city, they could sit back and relax.
This is the scariest thing - this game completely explains what it means to fight a war based on the economy!
Li Wanjun only felt that his lips were dry. He once again affirmed that this must be a classic that transcends the times!
The data setting perfectly demonstrates its charm!
"The battle ahead, after the battle, neither side collapsed! This shows that construction - construction time - production time have formed a perfect closed loop!"
Where is the game?
This is simply a microscopic local war!
"Both races are like this...there are no flaws...how, how is this possible!!"
Thinking of this, he was so irritated that he couldn't even put his fingers in his hair.
It’s like seeing a living ghost!
"The data of any game is retrieved time and time again!"
"But these data are as if they are printed in Kong Fang's mind! You can use them as soon as you take them out!"
"Or is it that he has actually debugged it many times in private?"
"It's... it's like seeing into the future! When the game was first created, I saw it in its entirety!"
"Like...like just take it out!"
too exaggerated!
