Although the IP of "Star Wars" is not particularly popular in China, it is still very famous.
The classic phrase "I am your father" has always been my favorite whisper to my classmates in my childhood.
Even if I hadn't seen the movie at the time.
Recently, "Eldon's Ring of Law", which has been dominating the Steam weekly list for six consecutive weeks, has finally been killed.
And the "murderer" is the "LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Legend" with the theme of the Star Wars IP.
It was really fierce enough that it was originally scheduled to go on sale in 2020, but it was postponed to 2021, and finally we could finally buy the game a week ago.
Even so, the game was the first to rush to the top of the hot list and won "special praise", and there are currently more than 10,000 reviews on Steam.
LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Saga is truly a good game, taking 5 years to develop, including 9 Star Wars canonical classics, with over 300 playable characters, more than 100 vehicles, and 23 planets to explore.
How to see it is in line with the standard of "epic level", proper fans to god, like Star Wars and Lego double kitchen players must not miss.
But don't think that today is to blow it, the game is a good game, but behind it is five years of high-intensity overtime and squeezing.
Overtime in the game industry is certainly not a rare thing in China, otherwise how to say that it is easy to have money and no life to spend when a large factory goes to work.
But in foreign countries that advocate freedom and take the owner to court at every turn, this matter seems to us to be a little bit of curiosity.
It turns out that foreign game companies also squeeze employees in this way?
This is of course, it took five years to move 9 classic masterpieces into a game in a transformative way, not only the developer boss Krypton gold, but also the developer to die Krypton "liver".
Such a huge development project has already put great pressure on the developers of TT Game in the early stages of development.
You know, this project started in 2017, and the initial release date was in 2020, three years later, which is not enough time for a PC masterpiece.
As social animals, it is entirely conceivable how they have survived in the past few years.
According to an interview with more than 30 employees involved in the project by overseas media Polygon, the development process of the project was extremely challenging for everyone, and it can even be said that they were exhausted.
While the top management understood how big the project was and gave more development time, the company required developers to use a new and incomplete internal game engine to save costs.
This engine, called NTT, is not only unstable, but also lacks important features. In such a situation, it is undoubtedly a greater burden for developers.
Not to mention that the development time given to everyone is actually not very sufficient. In order to catch up with the schedule, employees can only continue to work overtime.
Fortunately, the results of the release of LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Legends have been gratifying, with the support of many players and fans, and the efforts of the development staff have not been in vain.
Otherwise, like CDPR, forcing employees to work overtime to rush the deadline, and finally getting a dismal result, it is really too miserable.
