Chapter 59: The development is complete (ask for the first order!)
Chapter 59 development completed (ask for the first order!)
Chen An joined the company.
In just two days, he had a great time with the other three.
Then, after Meng Shu's personal training, he also understood what kind of game he was about to play.
When I learned that I was going to do a task for a building survival exploration game, I was excited and eager to try.
After returning to the office, I started designing non-stop.
When Meng Shu passed by his desk, he only saw the notebook full of handwriting and connections.
Only four days later, he submitted three ultra-long side missions.
Meng Shu looked at it and was quite satisfied.
Although there are still flaws, it is much better than the "Knock on the Door" in the interview.
However, it still needs to be modified, because these three tasks are actually not scary.
So he took one and sent back the other two.
Then let Chen An focus on this task to modify it, and then design the next one after passing it.
What Meng Shu wants is essence, not quantity.
Quests should be fun, not errands.
Therefore, although the efficiency is a bit slow, the quality is gradually improving.
As a month passed by, Chen An also completed a side task that satisfies Meng Shu and no longer needs to be modified.
And he himself, during the period of guiding his employees, exerted all his strength to develop "Sky Mountain".
Because of being too busy, the matter of recruiting people and choosing the location of the new company was handed over to Sister Mei, the accountant.
I have to say that I am not used to not having a secretary by my side to handle these matters.
This reminded Meng Shu of the secretary who helped him share chores in the world, the 40-year-old sister Zhang.
Next, Xia Nianzhen
Her scene needs some revision.
At this time, in the office area, Meng Shu stood behind this little beauty, guiding the process.
"This corridor is a bit wide, no, it won't bring a sense of suffocation to the player, and it also prolongs the player's moving distance. Narrow it down a bit, and the position of about three people is enough."
"Yeah."
Xia Nianzhen began to revise, and Meng Shu supervised the whole process.
Based on his experience, only narrow and winding hotel corridors can bring players a sense of tension and danger.
There must be 4 corridors on each floor, so that players will not go to the end.
Instead, it goes around the corner.
And things like corners are so easy to work with.
You never know what will be at the next intersection.
If you want to act and explore, then you must be ready to face the unknown crisis ahead.
Before going out, think about what you have in hand and whether you can deal with emergencies.
So, in this "Mountain of the Sky", he wants to make players feel startled every step of the way.
"The stairs can be slightly wider. After all, it is a hotel. There are about 4 people. Then each staircase can be changed to 13 steps."
Xia Nianzhen was a little puzzled when she heard it.
"Why is it 13?"
Meng Shu crossed his arms and looked puzzled at the girl in front of him, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"The background of the game takes place in the West, and the number 13 is taboo to the West. In the Middle Ages, a great man in the West suffered on the 13th, and the number of steps of the gallows was also 13. The ancient witch organization had 13 members. In short, it is a feudal superstition for us, but it symbolizes some kind of ominous meaning for them."
Xia Nianzhen nodded half-understanding, and began to revise according to the boss's request.
And what Meng Shu said is the history of this parallel world.
At this point, the two worlds are a bit the same but different.
For example, there is no **** here, and there is no Last Supper.
But there is God.
"Is it just the steps? Do you want to change anything else about 13?"
Xia Nianzhen asked.
But Meng Shu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled mysteriously.
"1408 room, let's change it alone"
A week later.
Meng Shu came to the office of the modeler Qiu Yuan and directed the modeling of the monster.
"Not bad, the restoration looks decent, it is indeed possible."
"However, the mouth of this monster can be torn apart a little bit. In my imagination, this monster can swallow a person as long as it opens its mouth."
Bending over, Meng Shu guided the monster model.
Qiu Yuan just nodded, expressing his understanding.
But he was still a little worried.
"Mr. Meng, there are more than 20 types of these monsters. Can players really handle their shapes? Let me take myself as an example. It just looks like it has no effect, but if it is put into the game and encountered by players in a dark corridor, won't it really bring them psychological shadows?"
Hearing this, Meng Shu couldn't help laughing.
"Don't underestimate the players. Over the past few months, they are used to "Face". There are more than 100 videos of the entire process on Danmaku.com, so you have to trust the players' abilities. But what you said is also reasonable. Check it out when the time comes, if the players report that you can’t continue playing, then it’s hard for you to optimize and optimize.”
Qiu Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears. Looking at the 21st monster being rendered in the software, he began to mourn for the players unilaterally in his heart.
He is sure that this game is definitely scarier than "Face"!
Because he, a monster modeler, can't stand the horrible shape.
Three weeks later.
In the only game motion capture room, Meng Shu is directing four extras.
They were all recruited from the Internet, and they were group performers who were looking for star opportunities in various shooting locations.
Meng Shu talked with them and expressed his willingness to hire for a short-term, with a daily payment of 200, including food and housing.
The group performers agreed immediately after hearing it.
Then signed the contract and confidentiality agreement.
Now is the time for them to work.
"You already know the background of the game. Now, the two of you are survivors of the hotel. You were discovered by monsters when you went out to find food. I need you to run from this red line to the blue line over there. Can you do it?"
Meng Shu pointed to the red line under his feet, and then pointed to the blue line not far away.
"Can!"
"no problem!"
Two extra performers in motion capture suits immediately responded loudly.
Looking full of energy, Meng Shu was very satisfied.
"Very well, then Action!"
Hearing the order, the two of them rushed forward immediately.
In order to show a sense of escape, they also showed expressions of extreme horror.
Although it was clearly stated that there is no need to make a sound, because it will be matched in the later stage, they still showed the scream of fleeing for their lives.
Subsequently, with the help of animator Xu Hong and several assistants he recruited, the actual demonstration of the NPC fleeing and being discovered by the protagonist was completed.
Next, the next scene.
Meng Shu called another actress and began to explain to her.
"The protagonist will be injured. After the protagonist falls, you have to rush out and drag him into the room."
The actress nodded to make it clear.
Then, Meng Shu looked at another actor and explained to him.
"You are her father. When you saw your daughter saving someone, you defended against a monster in front and got injured unfortunately. Can you perform?"
The two actors looked at each other, then nodded.
"I can't guarantee that it can be played well, but we will try our best to imagine that scene!"
Meng Shu nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.
What he is most afraid of is not being able to, or pretending to be.
Although the two people in front of him can't guarantee it, they are willing to perform many times, which he agrees with.
"Then .Action!"
Another month has passed, and with the hard work of all staff, "Sky Mountain" has been developed to 90%
Right now, the only thing missing is the ending.
But it won’t take long, because all the material resources are available, and the only thing left is his development.
More than 90 tasks have been implemented.
Among them, the side missions are also related to each other, and there are follow-up plots, which is enough for players to experience the survival and adventure in the building.
Within two days, I received dubbing files and music files from Unlimited Online Entertainment.
Meng Shu listened, it was not bad, and started to install it into the game.
At the same time, it also explained to Infinite Web Entertainment that foreign language translation can start.
After the game is officially completed, they can take it to the major media for scoring.
Then, after another week of optimization and adjustments, the actual demo of "Sky Mountain" is officially released!
This chapter really condenses the content of Chapter 3 of Nomizu.
