222. The pixel version of "Plants vs. Zombies"
When Michael Jackson talked about this idea, he remembered his MV "Thriller" released three years ago. This music video video shot by horror master John Landis was unprecedentedly successful when it was released. In it, he played zombies with a group of dancers. This album of the same name also received good reviews in the industry. So Michael Jackson thought this was a great idea, and even handed over the music use of "Thriller" to Subudon as a game BGM. As for how Subudon uses this song, Subudon needs to worry about it.
"When are you going to come to China for a concert?" Su Budong asked.
"It's not sure, because I will start global tours in August, and I don't know if Frank sets the China concert before or after that," Michael Jackson said.
"Okay, tell Frank, if you make sure you tell me in advance, I'm ready here. By the way, how many guests do you usually need for your concert?" Su Budong took on some of the concert tasks, such as contacting local guests from China, but Su Budong still doesn't know who to invite. He has asked Lin Muyu to draw up a list, and then he plans to select the concert guests according to the region.
"Generally speaking, about 5 people are probably fewer than this," said Mike Jackson, "and it depends on the schedule."
Whoever can appear on stage at Michael Jackson's concert will bring huge traffic. This opportunity is not often present, and Su Budong believes that everyone will be eager to try it.
Frank entrusts this matter to him, which undoubtedly gives him great authority, but if the operation is not good, he will offend many people.
In order to avoid offending others, Subodong will have a linkage with "Game Collection" and publish an advertisement in the newspaper - Subodong plans to hold a referendum to decide who will attend. Instead of making things difficult for himself, it is better to be fair and open. "Who can attend Michael Jackson's Chinese Concert" will soon become a hot topic for the whole nation starting next month.
Only those who purchase "Game Collection" from next month have the right to vote.
Su Budong plans to select stars from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions. The mainland, Baodao and Xiangjiang each have one list, and the top three players enter the next round of PK.
If it starts in August, the release of "Game Collection" in three months will exceed one million. It can be predicted that the sales of "Game Collection" will usher in a big explosion.
"Is there any problem with this?" Haisheng asked worriedly. "We are more professional in game reviews. If we do this type of voting, it will be a bit difficult."
So Su Budong asked Haisheng to prepare for another new magazine, specializing in interviewing celebrity artists in the entertainment industry, called "The Age of Literature". The editorial department recruited people again and cut out content that did not belong to the game after this wave of voting.
Now, I can only make the money and water flow without leaving the outside world, and first make my magazine influence bigger and stronger.
After confirming the story core with Michael Jackson, Subudon turned around and arranged the game content with the second development team.
The game "Plant vs. Zombies" is so classic that Su Budong can draw these zombies and plants with his eyes closed. In fact, there is only one core gameplay, that is, to block the invasion of zombies.
As a tower defense game, it is a work that is suitable for both young and old. There are 5 levels in total, and each level will unlock new plants and zombies. The numerous zombies and plants will bring considerable tests to the development team - compress these and turn them into a cartridge.
And because some plants launch barrage will call too many resources, the variables here need to be adjusted to certain extent.
However, how to incorporate Michael Jackson elements into the game and how to stuff such huge content into the cassettes all require comprehensive consideration.
As usual, Subudon pulled a few large blackboards and broke the system, character design, etc. on the blackboard to try to let the developers understand what kind of game this is.
Because Su Budong passed the game many times, he said it very carefully, for fear that the developers would misinterpret his meaning.
The Chinese elements added here are the little zombies of China. They are wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms and look very cute.
The identity of the villain boss Michael Jackson will be reversed at the end and become a hero who saves the world.
This is also in line with Michael Jackson's always wish. And this big boss will become a key figure in the five-act level.
The developer listened to Su Budong's explanation, as if he was playing it himself, and was fascinated by the listeners. After Su Budong finished speaking, he screamed one by one, wishing he could immediately develop this game that was destined to be famous in history.
After talking about "Plant vs. Zombies", Chu Xingyun came over again and asked Su Budong about the technical difficulties in the development of "The Legend of Jin Yong" and took Su Budong to watch it.
Su Budong found that the character would be stuck when he made a move, so he checked the code, reduced the function variables when he made a move, and also knocked Su Xiaoxia's wild ball boxing code in with itchy hands.
"The damage value of level 10 wild ball fist is so high? Did you make a mistake?" Chu Xingyun asked staring at the damage value.
"This is also considered an easter egg. Only by practicing an ordinary martial arts to the highest level can you gain something." Su Budong said.
"By the way, if you name it yourself, then type the name Michael or Ja, Su Xiaoxia's attribute value will be full." Su Budong mentioned another easter egg.
Chu Xingyun is full of black lines and wants to add Easter eggs to launch the development room. Are you kidding? We have worked enough. Are you a "eastern egg madman" afraid that players will not be happy to play games?
Su Budong didn't explain too much about adding easter eggs to the game. After all, adding easter eggs at this stage is just to give you a good game quality.
After a day of fatigue, Su Budong was no longer in the mood to have a meal when he was in the office.
At this time, the phone rang: "Bu Dong, the movie camera has been re-shooted." Feng Lei reported the good news on the phone, "The American team said that this special effect is quite simple and can be released in about a month."
"OK, are there any problems during the reshoot?" Su Budong asked.
"No more, we started to edit movies in other places based on previous opinions."
Su Budong added a few more opinions, which are about the artistic treatment of the climax part.
After hearing Su Budong's words, Feng Lei flattered: "Dong Su is really a versatile person. In the future, he will be required to ask Su Budong for advice."
