This game is awesome

Boss, if you want my body, just tell me!

Gu Qingshi explained: "It's not that kind of high-end game engine. You know how to play with building blocks, right? The game engine I'm talking about is a building block program that allows players to get started without any computer programming knowledge."

Seeing that Li Xiaomeng still didn't understand, Gu Qingshi patiently explained: "Let me tell you, this engine is highly modular, windowed, and visual. Art, music, numbers, and various event commands... When making a game, you only need to customize a whiteboard map, and then put the game content on it like stacking building blocks..."

If I want to place a tree on the map, I can directly call it out from the art library and drag it onto the map.

I want the character to act randomly, so open and select the character model you put there. The engine will give you an interface for adjusting various values ​​and inserting commands. Just select the "Random Action" option.

The content of this interface is so simple and clear, without various terms, but directly listing "actions", "skills", "kill experience", "events"... on it.

You just need to insert an "Open transaction page after conversation" option in the "Event" option, and then you can implement this function.

The "transaction page", "dialogue" and "dialog box" are also built-in to the engine.

This is a highly visual engine with almost zero entry barrier, so much so that it looks less like a "game development tool" than a "game with game-making content."

On Earth, this engine has a resounding name.

RPGmaker (RPG Maker).

As its name suggests, RPGmaker has created countless 2DRPG masterpieces. Well-known works such as "Witch's House", "To the Moon", "Wasteland Story", "Nobita Nobi's Resident Evil" and so on are all produced based on the RPGmaker engine.

Of course, its fame is more due to butter.

Search for Japanese porn on platforms like Steam and DL. Regardless of the quality, eight out of ten are made by RPGmaker...

Li Xiaomeng roughly understood what this thing was.

Oh, it turns out it's really building blocks. This thing is essentially a map editor, and it's completely different from engines like Pangu 3.

But no matter how good something is, it depends on who holds it.

To the bigwigs in the industry, this engine is of course like a graffiti tool for children and is not very useful.

But for those who want to get started or game enthusiasts who simply have the desire to express themselves and create, this thing is certainly much more useful than high-threshold tools like Pangu 3.

What's more, what can better refute the statement "I can't make RPG games" than "making a game engine specifically for making RPGs"?

Of course, Li Xiaomeng knew that public opinion on the Internet was in an uproar, and she immediately understood the purpose of Gu Qingshi's request to make this little gadget.

She became excited all of a sudden!

She had long been fed up with those stupid and weak guys who were mindlessly attacking her own studio, but a beautiful girl was no match for four strong men, and her words were of little use.

Now the opportunity has finally come!

Moreover, this "engine" sounds interesting!

Developing this engine was not difficult for Li Xiaomeng. With her level, as long as she didn't slack off, she could make a prototype in two weeks.

Li Xiaomeng took the job with great interest and continued to slack off in the tea room beating butter.

Chapter 51 [Live Broadcast]

Writing an RPGmaker is not a big burden for Li Xiaomeng.

This thing is comparable to the built-in map editor in the game. As long as you are familiar with the game engine and have a clear idea, the development cycle is only one month.

As for the materials, AI runs the map and directly purchases the adaptation rights and network distribution rights from NGI's game development resource platform. This is the most expensive.

A fairly fine parchment scroll model costs more than 100 yuan, and there are thousands of materials of this precision that need to be used in the engine.

The last 200,000 yuan of development funds were spent completely, and she even got another 100,000 yuan from Gu Qingshi.

In the next few days, Li Xiaomeng let the AI ​​run a few rounds of code, then made some modifications, and then let the AI ​​run a few rounds of debugging, repeating this cycle.

After half a month, the prototype of the finished product was finally completed.

This is probably a simplified version of RPGmaker with high-definition pixels. Some things are not yet added, such as the open plug-in interface and other functions.

Gu Qingshi used this thing for her own fun and had no plans to put it on the market, so she didn't let Li Xiaomeng tinker with it.

After getting the finished product, Gu Qingshi opened RPGmaker and took a look at it. The content was similar to the Earth version, and it was very suitable for making a low-cost 2D RPG.

She familiarized herself with RPGmaker and then directly opened the live broadcast channel of Pilipala Video Network.

Create a live broadcast room.

Enter a title.

【Tonight at 8 o'clock, live broadcast of making RPG】

.......

.......

The topic of Gu Qingshi is still very hot on the Internet. When the news that Gu Qingshi was going to start producing RPG spread, there was an uproar.

This is the first positive response from Fanxing to the question “Will you make an RPG?”

This time, Gu Qingshi didn't even need to go out for special promotion, as a large number of users flocked to the live broadcast room to watch.

Gu Qingshi had just opened the live broadcast software when she suddenly saw a prompt in the upper right corner that 2512 people were watching the live broadcast. She almost thought she had entered the wrong live broadcast room.

Gu Qingshi didn’t understand this live streaming software very well, so she asked Li Xiaomeng to help debug it.

Open the software, debug the microphone, turn on the virtual camera, OK, everything is normal!

The dark live broadcast room suddenly lit up, and the girl's face was seen in front of the camera. The frequency of barrage dropped sharply at this moment, and everyone was waiting for Gu Qingshi to start broadcasting.

Gu Qingshi asked carefully: "Hello, can you hear me?"

The number of comments on the screen suddenly increased.

"My wife is so cute!"

"Wow, Shibao's first appearance is super beautiful in 3D!"

"Nao Po Nao Po, is there any place to tie me up at home?"

"Anchor, you forgot to turn off the camera."

Gu Qingshi's face froze, and she decisively opened the live broadcast software to check.

Sure enough! The live camera was not turned off! FW Li Xiaomeng, what use are you!

Gu Qingshi turned off the camera with a forced smile.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Qingshi."

......

"Nao Po, please, turn on the camera for a while, just for a while, I won't run away again, Nao Po, I'm really too itchy, please, I'll be obedient, I won't make trouble again, please Nao Po, turn it on for a while, I'm itching like hell, it feels like there are ants crawling inside my body, it's too itchy, Nao Po, I miss you so much..."

"Woo woo, the super beautiful 3D is gone meow~"

"It was over before I even saw Shibao's panties!"

What a perverted thing...

Gu Qingshi didn't want to bother with these guys, so she opened RPGmaker and started the demonstration.

"I'm a bit bored tonight, so I'm going to make an RPG for everyone to play. I don't mean to target any particular person, so please don't take it personally."

Gu Qingshi first applied a layer of mage armor on herself, then opened the software, and a brightly colored window popped up.

On the map selection interface, Gu Qingshi selected a parchment map.

Then a yellowish paper appeared on the screen.

Then, Gu Qingshi dragged out several building textures from the material library and placed them on the map.

These stickers are consistent with the style of the map, and there is no sense of incongruity when they are put on.

"What is the anchor doing? Drawing?"

"Developing an RPG game... But it seems a bit unreliable."

"If this thing can be called an RPG, then can the second-year maps and characters I drew in my junior high school notebooks also be sold on NGI?"

The audience was also somewhat puzzled. They only saw Gu Qingshi open a program they had never seen before, and then used this thing that seemed to be a "map making applet" to create a map...

Gu Qingshi was still creating a map. After spending a few minutes building a scene, she opened the material library and placed the character model texture on the map.

It's a very simple texture, just a few pixels, probably in the style of the Cairo game.

The audience was delighted to see this little man who seemed to have traveled from ancient times.

It's so funny, what era is this, and you still use this kind of texture? I can buy one on NGI resource platform for 50 cents, and it's more realistic than yours.

As expected, Mr. Gu, you are here to make people laugh!

"I have completely understood. This is the highest level of the art of stopping war. It uses self-mockery to resolve disputes and turn hostility into friendship!"

“666, it turns out the host is in the atmosphere.”

“Is the anchor willing to become a comedian?”

Gu Qingshi was a magnanimous person and would not pay any attention to these guys. He just selected the character stickers and set various status and event instructions for them.

The first scene is a dark cave with a dozen goblins deep in the cave. Other places are not safe either, with bats, ghosts and skeletons.

But overall it is a fairly simple scene, and the events that need to be set are nothing more than "contact the enemy to enter the battle", "use the mining lamp to illuminate the map", "use the crow's pick to break specific rocks", etc. The amount of text is even less, most of which are mysterious and soul-flavored texts, fragmented.

The scene was completed in less than half an hour.

Gu Qingshi was very satisfied and tried it out first.

The screen went black, and then the default BGM sounded. The picture showed a blue sky with white clouds, and the classic RPG UI three-piece set of "Start Game, Continue Game, Exit Game" appeared on the screen.

"I'm Chao, really lucky?"

“It turns out this is a game engine. The visualization and modularity are so advanced? Can any expert tell me which company has released this new engine?”

Seeing someone asking about it in the comments, Gu Qingshi casually explained, "This is a 2DRPG game engine developed by our studio, named RPG Maker."
