Game development giant

At the end of April, the first demo of "Parent Simulator" was finally made.

Upon learning of this news, Professor Xie Xiaolan of Imperial Capital University rushed to Minyang with a few of his proud students. The other twelve are ready to connect online at any time, ready to enjoy this game that brings together many of them, such as psychologists. .

In addition to these people, Hu Bo, the well-known UP owner of the hualahuala website, and Liu Yong, the publishing director of Kaixia Network, participated in this demo test.

Hu Bo can also be regarded as Li Yuanhang’s "old friend". Li Yuanhang’s first game "Plague Company" exploded ahead of time under his vigorous publicity, and he spontaneously promoted the next two games. Played a very good lead.

This time, "Parent Simulator", Hu Bo is very interested in it. Not only is he interested in the game itself, but more importantly, he has a four-year-old son himself. He also wants to learn from this game. Get some tips on getting along with your son.

So this time Hu Bo asked Li Yuanhang. When the "Parent Simulator" was tested, he wanted to come to Shinhwa Studio to participate in the test. Li Yuanhang agreed without thinking.

Liu Yong's purpose is very simple. As long as he feels that "Parent Simulator" has potential, he will find Li Yuanhang to try his best to take down the distribution rights. In the past two years, relying on the release of Shinhwa Network games, Kaixia Network has really made no money. Less money.

In the conference room, Li Yuanhang personally tried the first version of the Demo.

Demo runs in a simulated environment of a computer, and uses a projector to project the image of the computer screen onto the screen for everyone to watch.

Li Yuanhang first ran the simulation environment. He clicked on the Demo of "Parent Simulator" and started to run. After the LOGO of Shinhwa Network and Shinhwa Studio flashed on the screen, he came directly to the game interface.

The style of "Parent Simulator" is similar to that of "Chinese Parents". They are both minimalist styles. The difference is that each character chosen by the player and children who cannot control have their own set of paintings.

In "Parent Simulator", Li Yuanhang added more than fifty sets of different vertical paintings to parents and children. There are different vertical paintings for handsome and beautiful, ordinary injuries, tall, short and thin, making the players feel real to the greatest extent. sense.

Click to start the game. The next step is for the player to choose his identity. Li Yuanhang chose himself as a game programmer. He is twenty-eight years old, divorced, living with his parents, and a family deposit of 150,000.

After choosing an identity, the game automatically assigns a normal-looking man with a blessed body, Liehui, and the next step is to start the official game.

After entering the game, the routine is a CG of less than two minutes. In this CG, the general experience of the protagonist is introduced, and it basically conforms to the identity characteristics chosen by Li Yuanhang. Obviously this CG is not recorded in advance, but the game engine The rendering engine inside renders it instantly.

At the beginning of the game, an image of a three or four-year-old boy appeared on the screen. The boy was looking at the screen with curious eyes, as if he was looking at the player.

A line of words appeared on the screen: "This is your child, he is four years old this year, please give him a name ()." In the brackets, the cursor is flashing slightly, waiting for the player to name his child.

Li Yuanhang took a Li Hao's name casually, and after pressing Enter, the screen in the game changed and came to an environment that seemed to be a living room.

The game seems to be at night, the light in the living room is very dim, only the TV that is still playing cartoons is shining.

In the quiet night, a sound of opening the door sounded, and the picture changed again. It was still in the living room, but there were more ordinary-looking men at this time.

Liu Yong looked at the game screen on the screen and couldn't help but frowned slightly. This game, which claims to have a total investment of more than 30 million yuan, is minimalist. The game is actually displayed page by page like a PPT. Except for the instant-rendered CG, all of them are watching PPT.

This makes Liu Yong feel very bad. The quality of the game spent 30 million?

Liu Yong couldn't help but shook his head, he still patiently continued to watch Li Yuanhang's demonstration.

At this time, lines of text appeared in the lower part of the game: "At 11 o'clock in the evening, exhausted, you came home and saw your son Li Hao asleep on the sofa. It's not finished, what should you do at this time?"

Then four options pop up in the game.

1: Carefully take your son back to the bedroom and let him have a good sleep, and explain the situation to your son's teacher the next day for the unfinished homework.

2: Hit your son two times angrily, wake your son up, scold him severely why the homework is not completed, and ask him to finish the homework that he didn't do overnight.

3: Wake up son and accompany him to finish homework together.

4: Wake up the parents and questioned angrily why they didn't take care of their grandson.

Li Yuanhang hesitated and chose the third answer.

The screen turned again, and it was still in the living room. The protagonist appeared with his son doing homework. After a few seconds, lines of text appeared again at the bottom of the screen.

"It took me an hour and a half to do my homework with my son. It was already one o'clock in the morning after washing, and you fell asleep in bed when you felt exhausted."

The screen changes. In a bedroom, the protagonist is sleeping on the bed, and suddenly an alarm clock rang, and the protagonist opened his eyes in a daze.

"After staying up all night with your son to finish homework, today you are still very tired, but you have to wake up. The company is rushing to launch a new project. If you are late, the irritable project leader will Deduct part of the bonus."

The screen changed again. This time it was a scene inside the company. The protagonist was squeezed into the cramped workstation and struggling to type the code, and the text below appeared again.

"In the company, because it was really exhausting, the code you wrote had several bugs, and the project team leader called in the past and scolded it several times, and said that if there is another next time, you will just roll up and leave."

The picture is still in the company, but the protagonist is boiling water with a teacup in the drinking fountain at this time.

"In order to wake yourself up, you made yourself a cup of strong tea to refresh yourself, but strong tea is not a miracle medicine. During overtime, you made mistakes and made the project team leader deduct half of your monthly bonus."

The picture once again came to the living room of the protagonist's house.

"When you came home after get off work, you found that your son had finished his homework and went to sleep in the bedroom early. You smiled with relief and felt that your efforts were finally in vain."
