Shangyang Game.

"Welcome to come and guide you!"

As soon as Ruan Guangjian walked into the office area, he saw Shangyang Game employees on both sides greeting and applauding warmly.

Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin stood in front, with four big words "Seeking for talents" written on their faces.

Ruan Guangjian was a little flattered and hurriedly said, "No, no, don't be so polite."

"I'm done with my work there. Come and visit me casually. Don't worry about me and don't delay your work."

Lin Wan smiled and said, "No, no, No, Boss Ruan, you are too modest."

"As the original artist that Mr. Pei relies most on, it can be said that your art has given the soul of Tengda Games. The sales volume of Tengda Games is so high that a large part of it is your credit!"

"You and Mr. Pei can be said to be the best partners. Now, even if you just give some advice, we will definitely benefit a lot!"

"Come on, please sit down. This is a specially reserved station for you. Shangyang Games will always welcome you!"

Everyone led Ruan Guangjian to a separate workstation, which had just been vacated, just next to Ye Zhizhou, diagonally opposite Wang Xiaobin.

Ruan Guangjian sat down at the workstation and took out the hand-painted board he carried with him: "Your workstation... is Tengda standard?"

When he came to Shangyang Game, he felt like he was returning to Tengda.

The office environment is so similar!

Whether it is a spacious office space, a wide desk, a comfortable ergonomic chair, a high-end computer and a dual-screen monitor, it is exactly the same standard as Tengda.

Lin Wan nodded: "Yes, although Shangyang Games is a subsidiary of Tengda Games, it actually does not distinguish between each other. Mr. Pei has always treated all employees equally and never distinguished between different levels."

"The office environment here has just been moved in for a few months, and it was rearranged according to the standards of Tengda Games."

"This arrangement seems to be easier to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees."

Inspire employees' enthusiasm for work?

Well, indeed, working in such a comfortable place feels very different from working in a frustrated and narrow station...

Ruan Guangjian turned on the office computer while listening to Lin Wan's introduction to Shangyang's game.

It's quite good. From Tengda Games to Shangyang Games, it is seamlessly connected, and the office environment is very familiar and there is no need for extra time to adapt.

"This is the game we are developing. "BE     QUIET" is a horror-themed game. You can play it casually and give me some advice." Lin Wan pointed to the game icon on the desktop.

So far, "BE    QUIET" has been developed to the second major version, and the progress has been more than half gone.

It's just that it's still a certain distance from its real launch.

Simple function development is very fast, but if a game needs to be officially released, it also needs to repeatedly fine-tune various gameplay and details to fix a large number of bugs. The work of these subtleties in the later stage cannot be ignored.

As soon as he heard the horror theme, Ruan Guangjian's face changed and he quickly waved his hand: "Horror game? No, I am the one who is most afraid of horror themes!"

"If I had known that the project you are developing now was a horror game, I would have been here!"

"Like "Midnight Phone", "Alien Worm", "Chain Saw Madman", "Ghost Shadow", "Night of Resurrection", "Shift of Spirit", "Ghost Record", "Curse of Resentment"... I was so scared that I was so scared after reading these!"

Lin Wan was so embarrassed that a question mark slowly floated out of her head.

ha?

What are the most afraid of horror themes? As a result, these classic horror movies have not been lost. Have you seen them all?

Lin Wan didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

She thought for a while and said, "It's okay, our game is still in the research and development stage, and it's not scary at all."

"Not scary at all?" Ruan Guangjian said, reluctantly clicking the icon of "BE     QUIET" in a difficult situation, "Then I will just play for a little bit."

Lin Wan nodded: "Okay, please experience it slowly. If you have any opinions, you can tell me, and you can tell Ye Zhizhou."

Ruan Guangjian put on his headphones and quickly entered the game.

Lin Wan secretly pulled Ye Zhizhou over and whispered: "I'm optimistic about the boss. He said he is timid, so don't scare him. Pay attention at any time, do you understand?"

Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Before the two of them finished speaking, they heard Ruan Guangjian next to him say a "ah" and let out a scream of no big or small.

When entering the game, there is a dynamic game scene on the screen.

In the crazy village, night was shrouded in the night, and the strange light blue flames were burning, reflecting a crazy villager whose teeth and eyes were covered with bloodshot. At this time, he was waving a machete next to the strange light blue flames, shaving something.

The light was very dark, and you could vaguely see the chopping things splashing out dark red blood.

When loading, the whole scene suddenly darkens, and the crazy villagers who have been slashing something next to the light blue flames will suddenly get up and walk out of the screen.

Then, before the player could react, the crazy villager's face suddenly poked his head out from the right side of the screen, appeared in the player's vision at a very close distance, making a sick, arrogant grin, and then the bloody hatchet in his hand slashed down at the camera!

Accompanied by screams, the screen will be quickly covered with blood, and the title of the game will appear before officially entering the game.

Ruan Guangjian was frightened by this scene just now, and almost jumped up from his seat.

Ye Zhizhou hurriedly said, "Is it okay?"

Ruan Guangjian nodded: "It's okay...ah!"

Not long after entering the game, I was shocked by a little mouse suddenly rushing over in the scene.

Ye Zhizhou: "..."

Suddenly, I doubted whether Boss Ruan could successfully experience the entire game and put forward corresponding art modification opinions...

He thought for a while and suggested: "Big Boss, why don't you just look at art resources, including original paintings, modeling, and look at these directly. The degree of frightening should be fine."

Ruan Guangjian shook his head: "That certainly won't work!"

"The concept will change at every step from concept to original painting, to modeling, scenes, and every step. For example, from original painting to modeling, the original artist's thoughts will be misinterpreted, and the modeler will add some of his own ideas."

"No matter how hard you try, this situation is difficult to completely avoid."

"So, I have to see the actual scenes in the game, so that I can feel the unharmonious parts of the entire art atmosphere and make targeted modifications."

"Don't worry, I'm OK, okay."

Seeing the boss being scared twice and insisting on experiencing the game, Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Look, what is professional spirit!

The boss is obviously very sensitive to horror themes, but at this time he is working hard to overcome his inner fear in order to make the game better. This spirit is really touching!

...

Not long after, Ruan Guangjian's surprise filled Shangyang Game's office area, and even Lin Wan, who was in the director's office, could be vaguely heard.

However, everyone had no idea of ​​smirking, but instead admired Ruan Guangjian even more.

I was so scared that I was still persisting. This is true love!

It can only be said that the success of the boss is not accidental, but an inevitable. Just this kind of perseverance is not something that ordinary people can have!

Ye Zhizhou, who was sitting next to Ruan Guangjian, inexplicably developed a little proud feeling.

Our game is so horror?

In fact, Ye Zhizhou had no idea about the horror effect of this game before.

This is the first time Shangyang Game has made a horror game. Although everyone in the design team has also played horror games for a long time, Lin Wan and others have also gone to the haunted house to find materials, but their experience is still a bit insufficient.

Moreover, the main gameplay of this game is connected to the Internet, relying on "scary people", rather than using the setting of good processes and mechanisms to scare people.

But now the game has not started testing at all. There are no players in it, and it is all AI. This is a bit scary.

In addition to the art resources that have not yet been fully equipped, the gameplay that has not yet been particularly perfect and some minor bugs, Ye Zhizhou feels that the completion of this game is far from enough.

But now, it is actually scared Ruan Guangjian like this. Does it mean that this game has a good horror effect for ordinary people?

Just as he was thinking, Ruan Guangjian quit the game and took off his headphones.

Ye Zhizhou was about to comfort him, but found that Ruan Guangjian's face was rosy and in a good look, and even seemed a little excited.

Ye Zhizhou: "?"

This situation was something he didn't expect.

Is this the person who was scared and screamed by a mouse just now?

Ruan Guangjian said sincerely: "Director Lin didn't lie to me, this game is really not scary at all."

Ye Zhizhou: "?"

What's going on? Isn't it that you, the one who was so scared that he screamed just now?

Ye Zhizhou vaguely felt something was wrong. Boss Ruan’s definition and performance of horror seemed to be inconsistent...

Before playing: No, I'm very afraid of horror themes.

During the play: I was so scared that I screamed.

After playing: Yes, it's really not scary.

Moreover, it gives people the feeling that he is not stubborn, but rather has his sincere thoughts.
To be continued...
