Number One Game Designer

After two rounds, Fang Xi came up with the idea of ​​going to see the light rail.

In Rockstar's GTA3 and 4, Liberty City's light rail is a slightly iconic thing, and Fang Xi lost control when he was a child and couldn't play on the console. I still remember the PC special edition of GTA that I played on PC in elementary school. Compared with the host version, the map of the third generation has been greatly reduced, and almost only the part of Chicago is kept. At that time, it was the first time to take the public transportation system in the game, which shocked Fang Xi a lot.

At that time, although the PC version was crude, it also gave Xiao Fang Xi the feeling that "this world is alive" for the first time, so Fang Xi was very curious about this light rail.

The two parked the car, and Aoge bought two tickets and took Fang Xi to the platform.

"Chicago's light rail was built at the end of the nineteenth century." Ogg blinked: "So there may be some old people's problems, don't panic."

Fang Xi imagined that the light rail on the ground should be light and comfortable. The left side of the light rail is the bustling city scenery, and the right side is the sunset of the Great Lakes. The old carriages that haven't been replaced for many years are cramped and small.

Seeing Fang Xi's expression, Auger laughed:

"The transportation capacity of the light rail is not very good. Now the city government has been focusing on laying the subway, so the light rail system has not been allocated for many years."

Fang Xi shook his head: "We have a city called Shancheng in Huaxia, which has its own light rail, which is much more comfortable than this one. You are welcome to experience it when the time comes."

"It's a great honor!" Just as the light rail was turning, Ogg said this in a roar: "Then we still have to complete the lap according to your original plan?"

"I'd rather go on a roller coaster!"

For Fang Xi, the light rail that he had imagined in the game in the same year is now in pieces.

Sitting on the platform bench, watching the light rail roaring away, Fang Xi had a delicate expression:

"How did you guys put up with this light rail?"

"Oh, this." Ogg explained with a smile: "When the light rail was established, there were not so many cars. Now the people who take this light rail are curious outsiders, and the citizens of Chicago all go out by car."

"Just talking." At this time, Fang Xi looked far away and saw a small shop at the intersection of the light rail station in the distance, with a row of computers inside, and his eyes lit up:

Internet cafe? ! Our boss is going to have a private interview today! Let's take a look at how Hongyi's Internet cafe share is! starter

Speaking of Internet cafes, domestic players must be familiar with them, but one thing to note is that the number of Internet cafes in Huaxia District is about 80% of the world’s. European and American countries were the first to have personal computers, and then some people who travel frequently Computers are needed for business, so some of the earliest coffee shops began to install personal computers in their stores to attract people to surf the Internet (drink coffee). Not to mention in China, Internet cafes have only appeared in recent years.

Walking into the store with Auger, Fang Xi discovered that this was also something similar to a coffee shop, with rows of computers separated by rows, and besides this, there was a large drinking area.

Fang Xi took a look, and saw that there were quite a few playing with eternity.

"Chinese? Not many come to Chicago." The cashier (?) brother seemed very talkative.

Fang Xi signaled Ogg to find a place to do it, and threw two Franklin cards on the table. smile:

"I have to come on a business trip." After saying that, she leaned on the counter. "Two glasses of drink, I believe you can fit."

"Where did you offend your boss?" The cashier took the money,

Then he turned around and made a joke while looking for ingredients.

"I am the boss myself. Looking at you, it seems that there are many players playing "Eternal"?"

"Are you also interested in this?" The little brother said while skillfully mixing the drink:

"Oh, I forgot, this is your Chinese game. But it's really fun. I'll play two games in the store before leaving after get off work."

Fang Xi knocked on the glass with interest and touched the counter. He hadn't had a chance to go to a bar in this life. He didn't expect to see a bar counter and bartending for the first time in the United States. He was even in an Internet cafe. Fang Xi replied without raising his head to the younger brother's words:

"Seeing that this is quite popular, I'm asking, because it is said that the World Championship will be held in Paris in December? This producer is quite rich."

Fang Xi started the shameless self-promotion time.

"Look at the wall behind you." The little brother put two cups on the bar.

Fang Xi looked back, hey, the old man's banner was a preview of the intercontinental finals, and the slogan was very simple:

With NA, without EU!

This is a long-standing grievance between Europe and the United States. Fang Xi turned around and found that the two drinks had been mixed. He smiled and picked them up to find Ogg.

Fang Xi spent the best afternoon in the Internet cafe, watching the entire Internet cafe playing his own game, the refreshing feeling is beyond words.

Generally speaking, the majority are still playing Eternal. Fang Xi’s previous judgment is not wrong. European and American players are more inclined to this kind of game that can be played with friends and advance and retreat together. The rest of Hongyi games are basically not here. Play in single player mode.

Eating chicken team row, Left 4 Survival cooperation, and Killing Planet cooperation, and even Fang Xi saw a couple in the corner playing the portal cooperation mode, envious of others.

During this period, someone also recognized Fang Xi.

Fang Xi has come to the United States to participate in two events. Fortunately, he has not appeared on the cover of a magazine. The few fans who recognized him have been to the scene. They greeted him in a low-key manner and signed a group photo. After downloading the news of the new game, I got Fang Xi's promise:

"There will be at least two new games this year, don't worry."

After seeing off the fans, Ogg next to him was a little curious:

"This year, Hongyi, oh no, the parent company still has two games?"

It's pretty good, Fang Xi praised in his heart.

"I'm just talking about two games, but I didn't say whether it's the official version or the trailer." Fang Xi blinked.

"But "The Origin of Everything" is definitely going to be released, another one..." Fang Xi shook his head: "There are not enough people."

"By the way, having said that, what do you think of my proposed "GTA"?"

"Can I ask why it's called Grand Theft Auto? What Chicago really has to say has nothing to do with cars."

Unexpectedly, it was this that Aoge was obsessed with, Fang Xi rolled his eyes. But Aoge didn't question Fang Xi's meaning, and hurriedly said:

"I think it's very good. Ono and Dillon are definitely interested, but the problem is that if we want to make this action-adventure game, on the one hand, we don't have professional copywriters to write the story, which requires the support of the head office. Our manpower is not enough, our studio has a total of less than 40 people, although they are all professional players, but such a big project as an action-adventure game..."

Ao Gesao showed a little embarrassment on his cheeks:

"The assistance of the head office is still needed."

Fang Xi knocked on his forehead twice:

The headquarters of the domestic company was originally short of manpower, and they came to the United States to find Ogg’s studio to alleviate this problem, but in the end, they were even less manpower because of the big pie?

Are you going to do it yourself again?
