The latest time for major clubs to submit scene cards for review as stipulated by the professional league is March 20.
As early as the 20th, the map department has already reviewed the scene cards of other clubs, and sent them to the program department to import them into the game to find bugs. If there is no problem, they can be imported into the league map library.
Everyone is still thinking that if Nirvana has been delayed so late, they probably won’t be able to make maps, right? After all, it is a newly established club, and it is said that it does not even have a special scene design department! You may hand in a few random sheets to make up the number, and you will be done with a simple review.
As a result, on the last day, Nirvana Club threw dozens of G compressed packages to the map department!
Dozens of Gs! Did they make a game directly
At that time, it was already six o'clock off work time. Everyone was packing up and preparing to leave work, but the boss insisted that "everyone will work overtime for me".
A group of people came over to look at the big screen with doubts. Director Zhao of the map department said with a serious face: "Look at the map submitted by Nirvana, I thought they sent it wrong, but after opening it, I found out that it was me! I underestimated this fat uncle's whimsy too much, Nirvana has made the most maps in the entire league, and the main event really stayed at the end!"
Some time ago, the card review department next door was always working overtime. He heard a few girls complaining that the fat uncle often made cards in the middle of the night, which made them always have video conferences and irregular schedules. At that time, he was still gloating. , as a result now it's your turn.
Zhao Yi, the director of the map department, pressed his temple with a headache, and said, "There are still five days left, and we may not be able to complete the review. Let's work hard tonight. First, divide these maps into three groups, and each group will choose A few pictures, and I will start the full review tomorrow!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately teamed up with familiar friends to start picking pictures.
"How many scenes are there? I'll go! It's also classified by series!" The senior scene designer of Group 1 sighed while watching, then he leaned into the ear of the newcomer he brought and whispered, "What is this Journey to the West series? , the capacity is the smallest, let's pick this one."
"The team leader is wise!" Everyone has no opinion. The smallest capacity is definitely the easiest map and the fastest review.
"That's it. We must be the fastest of the three teams." The team leader felt that he was really witty.
Group 1 started too fast, and the other two groups hadn't reacted yet, so the leader of Group 2 said decisively: "I picked the Three Kingdoms series, all of which are small scenes, and it shouldn't be difficult to review."
The leader of Group 3 had no choice but to pick the rest: "Leave the Red Chamber series to me."
Director Zhao said: "Okay, everyone will review it as soon as possible from tomorrow. If you encounter trouble, discuss it together. Go home and get a good night's sleep first, so that you can keep your spirits up!" He believes that tomorrow will be a hard battle.
On the morning of March 21st, when the people from the map department came to work, Director Zhou Jiayao of the Card Data Department next door was pouring coffee in the lounge. Seeing them pass by, he pushed his glasses and said, "Director Zhao, Nirvana has submitted. Is it a scene card?"
Director Zhao said without a smile: "Yes, there are quite a few, we are just about to hurry up to review."
Zhou Jiayao smiled meaningfully and said lightly, "Come on."
Old Zhao's back suddenly froze, this data teacher sister is a famous iceberg beauty, but now she is smiling at him... Laughing? This is definitely not a good sign! When the data department was working overtime, he once laughed at their inefficiency, and they had a meeting in the middle of the night without a card. How could he have a bad feeling now
Lao Zhao coughed, ignoring the uneasiness in his heart, and poured a cup of coffee into the office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the faces of the employees were as black as the bottom of a pot, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Who's messing with this early in the morning? you guys?"
The staff of Group 1 said with a bitter face: "Director Zhao, what the hell is a card pregnant? Should this strange setting pass the review?"
The staff of Group 2 said solemnly: "Director, the card was caught in a cell and locked up, was ambushed and assassinated, and was forcibly divided into three camps. Will these really not affect the balance?"
Group 3 collapsed the most, and the group leader walked over directly and said with a dark face: "They actually spliced the Grand View Garden together and made a large scene map of 10 Gs. Such a large map is about to become a tourist attraction! And there are other 'dynamic events', an NPC named Grandma Liu visits the Grand View Garden, all the cards have to accompany her to go shopping, and she has to listen to her tell jokes!"
Director Zhao: "..."
He suddenly felt the sadness of the card data department - the cards designed by Fat Uncle must be very strange, so he made the next door work overtime!
Taking a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, Director Zhao said with a dry smile: "Let's pick a simple scene review first, as for these complicated ones, let's discuss them slowly... If we can't be sure, we'll ask the program department and the data department to come over. Please help."
If you work overtime alone, it's better for everyone to work overtime together, but you can't let the fat uncle only harm their map department!
***
Some of the scene graphs submitted by Nirvana are indeed quite normal. For example, the Peach Conference, although the setting of grabbing peaches is fun, it is essentially a gain effect map and does not affect the balance.
The frequent displacement of Flaming Mountain will be complicated to operate, but this is something that players should consider. From the perspective of the map, this picture is easy to implement, and it is fair to both parties, in line with the guidelines for map review. In the water curtain hole, the water curtain falls every once in a while, the vision of both sides is affected, and a truce is forced, which is also in line with the map rules.
The Grand View Garden series of scene cards, such as "Xiaoxiang Pavilion"'s defense reduction on the whole map, "Yihongyuan"'s night banquet stage, the whole map's crit increase, "Hengwuyuan" The illusion of the sea of flowers, "Zhucui'an" Miaoyu tea offer plus Blood, etc., are all very simple single event/effect scenarios, which are easy to implement. Most of the scenes in the Three Kingdoms series also meet the regulations, and there is nothing to dispute.
What shocked the staff of the map department was that the scene map submitted by the Nirvana Club not only had extremely rich settings, but also the scene was drawn very finely - no wonder there are dozens of G, flowers, trees, lighting effects, shadows, lake surfaces in the scene. Details such as ripples are all handled perfectly.
The designers who have seen many simple maps can't help but praise: "The scene should be made by professionals, from the art department!" "This level is not bad for our official professional map designer!" "It seems Nirvana Really talented people!"
It's true that the maps are beautifully done, but it's also true that some maps are too weird.
In the end, they were stuck on the maps that could not be passed in the review stage, including the daughter country, the marriage tree, the inspection of the Grand View Garden, Grandma Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden, and the three-point world. Director Zhao couldn't decide himself, so he had the cheek to call the director of programmers and the director of the data department for a meeting.
The little brother programmer was very unhappy, and complained in his heart: "To review a map, you have to make such a move!"
On the other hand, Director Zhou of the Data Department looked calm: "Probably encountered a difficult design." They have reviewed so many wonderful cards made by fat uncles, and they have already reviewed their experience.
When I arrived at the meeting site, I saw the map setting released by Director Zhao, and the programmer sprayed the table with a sip of coffee: "Card is pregnant?"
Director Zhao looked embarrassed: "That's right, it's actually a copy of the generated card, can this be implemented in the program? Will the data affect the balance? Our map department only checks the scene map for bugs. For other issues, I have to ask the two of you to check it out."
After reviewing the strange map of the Nirvana Club for three days in a row, the people in the map department worked overtime until late at night every day, and they all wore dark circles under their eyes.
The programmer looked shocked: "What did Director Zhou and Zhou say?"
Zhou Jiayao calmly helped her glasses: "I've seen the card pregnant, too. Uncle Fat made a card called 'Send Son Guanyin', which is to send a fetus to the designated card, and let the card become pregnant and give birth to a copy. "
Everyone: "..."
The jaw dropped in the conference room.
Director Zhao was stunned for a moment, and finally got his chin back. He looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "How did you deal with it in the end?"
Zhou Jiayao said: "For the copy card generated by the Guanyin, the basic data is halved, and only one skill is allowed to be copied, so that the card with three skills copied will not affect the balance during a duel. This is the conclusion that our data department discussed overnight." She took a sip of coffee calmly, and said, "If this setting is placed on the scene graph, because both sides can copy two cards, I think it can be imitated with the setting of Sendzi Guanyin to impose some restrictions."
The director of the program department also recovered his voice and said with a dry smile: "This is not difficult to achieve from the program, the card data and volume are all scaled by half, uh... The more troublesome are some cards in the city of night, Ye Zhu Butterfly, Pei Jingshan's bugs are already small, what should I do if the baby is too small to see?"
Everyone: "… "
Ye Zhu's love for butterflies is true love from the bottom of his heart. He will be mad if his butterflies have babies!
Zhou Jiayao said: "Special cards are treated specially. Those with a volume of less than 10 centimeters can keep their original appearance, and don't shrink any more. Like Lao Zheng's elephant, it's cute to have a baby elephant, isn't it? "
Everyone: "… "
It seems that after being "poisoned" by Fat Uncle for a long time, the Card Data Department has been able to easily accept all kinds of weird settings.
Director Zhao coughed and said, "Then... The scene map of the marriage tree, forcing cards to fall in love, what do you think?"
What else can you see? Can you catch the fat uncle and beat him up
Everyone in the map department was heartbroken, but on the surface they had to remain calm, saying: "It's not difficult to achieve on the map, every time you drop two wishing charms, let the cards hit by the wishing charms enter a state of love... The key is the program. Department, can you write the code?"
The people in the programming department are about to vomit blood. They say they can't write it. Isn't it a joke? However, writing this kind of code and letting the card fall in love, no matter how you think about it, feels very uncomfortable! Their programmers are also shameful! This is a card game, not a dating game!
Director Zhou said coldly: "Oh, this scene is a bit similar to Yue Lao's setting. He made a card called Yue Lao, and he also used a red thread to connect the two cards to force the two cards to fall in love. ."
Everyone: "… "
What has Director Zhou of the Card Department experienced in the past few months!
The smile on Director Zhao's face became stiffer and stiffer. He immediately took out the next map and said: "Three points of the world, the map is very easy to do. According to their design, they divided a scene into blue Wei Kingdom, The green Wu Kingdom and the red Shu Kingdom are just fine. The key lies in how to set the card faction division, because it is a random division, it is completely luck, it is difficult to be fair, so I want to ask the program department. Mr. Liu."
Program Director Liu took a deep breath and said reluctantly, "We can use a fixed algorithm. Since we are dividing camps, we set a balance value. One of the three camps must have the same number of cards for both sides, and the other two must have the same number of cards. Faction, one faction has more A-side cards than B-side, and the other A-side has fewer cards than B-side. In large-scale team battles, the algorithm of this map will be very complicated, and we have to go back to discuss and study.”
Director Zhao gave the other party a look of "Thank you for your hard work, brother", and continued: "Checking the Grand View Garden and Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden are all dynamic events, just like movie cutscenes. Cards must participate in dynamic events and act with NPCs. Shouldn't it be more complicated?"
Several participants in the program department collectively held their heads up with headaches: "It's very difficult to get rid of bugs on such a map!" "Dynamic maps are much more difficult to do than static maps, especially if the cards have to follow Grandma Liu for 30 meters, The setting of being kicked out of the arena outside of the range requires a lot of calculations in the program, which is almost the same as a large 30-person team dungeon!" "And during a team battle, if there are 40 cards on the field at the same time, not only will it be counted. The distance between the card and Grandma Liu also needs to calculate the various skills of the card in real time!"
Director Zhou calmly said: "I believe in the strength of the map department and the program department. It sounds very difficult, but you are so skilled, you can definitely handle these problems perfectly."
Everyone: "… "
Sister Zhou, stop wearing high hats for everyone! Don't you just gloat and watch the show just because the card club has been abused once before
The tripartite talks lasted all afternoon.
In the end, the heads of the three departments worked together to finalize the production plan and data fine-tuning plan for some maps.
Then it will be handed over to the program department to implement.
Not only did the map department work overtime, but the programming department was also dragged into the water to work overtime to write code. Director Zhou originally sat down to watch the show, but the other two departments didn't want to let her go, so they gave her a lot of cards and asked her to take a new map test -
As a result, the three departments worked overtime together!
That night, the official headquarters of Star Card was brightly lit. Programmers, map designers, and card data analysts stayed up all night together. Even the boss of Star Card headquarters was alerted and came to inspect in person, and brought everyone Delicious supper.
Everyone was working hard while eating supper. In some corners, the staff complained from time to time: "This damn fat uncle!" "Where does this bastard Xie Mingzhe come with so many strange designs!" "I'm so special. Yes! A good card battle game was turned into a game of love and childbirth by him!" "Alas, I feel like I'm going to die suddenly if I work so much overtime!"
At this time, Xie Mingzhe, the culprit, was chatting happily with Tang Muzhou: "Our club's map was submitted at the latest. It is estimated that the official review will take several days to give the result."
Tang Muzhou sent a "I don't want to hang" plant emoji, and said, "Is there a map that forces cards to be hanged?"
Xie Mingzhe laughed dryly: "Our scene graphs are quite normal, and we won't let the cards hang [sincere smile]"
Of course Tang Muzhou didn't believe it: "It's no wonder you can be normal."
Xie Mingzhe touched his nose and said curiously, "In my brother's opinion, am I a very strange person?"
Tang Muzhou's voice was gentle: "You are quite strange, but..."
He suddenly stopped here, and Xie Mingzhe followed closely and asked, "But what? I also have many advantages, don't I?"
You are lovely, one of a kind.
Tang Muzhou smiled slightly, kept this comment in his heart, and changed the subject: "April 1st, the pre-match preparation meeting for the new season, at eleven o'clock in the morning, all professional players will be there, remember not to be late."
Xie Mingzhe said: "I know, Yingying told us about this, she arranged the car, and the four of us will go there together."
Tang Muzhou asked, "Is Master still not going to show up?"
Xie Mingzhe said with a headache: "Master doesn't like dealing with reporters very much. He doesn't want to show up at this press conference. Let's talk about it after the official game. Once he shows up, the relationship between the two of us will probably be hidden."
Tang Muzhou sighed lightly: "It's okay, I can't hide it sooner or later, I'm ready. Go to bed early, see you on the 1st."
"Well, good night, brother."
Xie Mingzhe fell asleep with peace of mind. The strange thing was that he was chased and killed by a group of people with knives in his dream. He didn't know those people at all, but he said in unison: "It's you who made us work overtime, it's all your fault!" "You are going to pay us overtime!" "The knife is ready, choose a way to die!"
Xie Mingzhe woke up in a cold sweat the next day.
Thinking of that dream last night, probably because the employees who reviewed the map were too resentful
He didn't expect that the large number of maps they submitted this time actually caused the three departments to work overtime at the same time.
The official headquarters is now "talking about Nirvana and changing color", when the heads of the three departments talk about Fat Uncle, it's called gnashing of teeth!
***
The map review, which could have ended on the 25th, was dragged on until March 31st.
The dream of the employees in the map department was shattered, and the program department and the card data department also worked together until the 31st, and everyone finally completed the review of all Nirvana scene maps within the official deadline.
The official and the alliance are connected, and the map submitted by Nirvana is imported into the alliance game gallery.
The personnel in charge of the competition arrangement on the league side were shocked once again when they saw the last batch of submitted maps.
Card is pregnant? Cards fall in love
It seems that the private lives of the cards will be completely chaotic in the future!
The league competition department informed Chairman Zhou of the matter.
After all, the chairman is someone who has seen strong winds and waves. Hearing this, his smile only froze slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Cough, we encourage interesting creativity, the eleventh season, with the addition of Nirvana, the league will definitely become ...ahem, more fun!"
