While most people are still anxious about workplace promotion, a vice president who once stood at the top of the industry's pyramid chose to submit his resignation letter in the spring of 2024.
Naked quit + raising a baby + having a wife without a job + self-taught code to make independent games for personal interests, which seems to everyone to be incredible.
However, a year later, the card game "Village and Dungeon" appeared in the card game circle and received praise during DEMO, and its efficiency was even comparable to that of some small and medium-sized studios.
At 11 a.m. on May 20, this work, which was independently developed by a former listed company executive, will be launched on the Steam platform. The standard version is priced at 29 yuan and the luxury version is 39 yuan, and it is paired with a 15% first-time discount (May 20-27), and is sending an invitation to players with the most honest attitude.
1. Card construction × Auto-chess: Redefine the depth of the strategy
The cards are divided into five factions, and different series of cards are derived under the factions. Players can play single factions or mix and match them. They can completely combine and pass the levels according to their own personal preferences.
In addition to traditional attack, defense and recovery, the card attributes in the game also add Buff attributes such as magic, poisoning, and speed, making the depth of card construction more diversified. Simply put, it is not that easy to get tired of.
Another thing is the gameplay of the meat pigeon. Every time we go to the dungeon, it is randomly generated levels. It is difficult or easy to rely on luck. However, the overall value is still controlled within one range. The game itself is still quite random, so we need to gradually build and adjust our decks in limited resources.
At the same time, some random events were added to it. Random events were completely a game, and it might be some powerful bosses. Of course, there is still half the probability that your card will become stronger.
After each hand, it is not completely cleared. Some of the props can be saved in a new round, such as materials used to synthesize runes, so it is still very meaningful to work hard to hit each hand.
2. The evolution of pixel aesthetics: the symbiosis between AI and artificial
The visual presentation of "Village and Dungeon" adopts a very tricky design. Because it is developed independently by one person, it adopts an innovative process of "AI generation + artificial refining" to ensure efficiency while giving the pixel picture an unprecedented delicate texture:
l AI-driven creative inspiration: Through deep learning of thousands of classic pixel art works, AI models can generate characters, scenes and props with a unified style in seconds.For example, the stereotype of the monster card "Little Fire Dragon", AI completed the traditional hand-drawing workload in just 5 minutes.
l Manual polishing details: Each AI-generated material needs to undergo at least 3 rounds of manual refining.Taking "Little Fire Dragon" as an example, although the basic model generated by AI has rough outlines, the artist polished its details to ultimately make it more in line with the overall style.
3. Sincerity dedicated to players: the dual commitment of price and quality
"Village and Dungeon" explains what "the conscience of an independent game" is with practical actions:
l People-friendly pricing strategy: The standard version is priced at 29 yuan, the luxury version is 39 yuan, and the first release discount is 15%. For players who like cards, it is indeed more people-friendly to buy it.
l Continuous update plan: After the game is released, new cards and new maps will continue to be launched.Even PVP will be introduced to allow players to fight more options.
