Zhang Chunsheng successfully became the leader of the escape production team, and the whole process was quite dreamy for him.
Originally, he wanted to reject Li Wen's proposal. After all, he felt that he was not capable of being a team leader at all, but after seeing Li Wen's trusting eyes, he swallowed the words of refusal.
After the celebration banquet, the escape production team held a meeting to discuss...
Well, actually everyone in the company attended the meeting.
However, the host of this meeting is no longer Li Wen, but Zhang Chunsheng.
In the past two weeks, he had carefully read the escape plan, and not only that, he brought his understanding of the game to the meeting.
The meeting went very smoothly, and everyone was assigned a job, which was very fulfilling.
Even Li Wen has a job.
Although he is the boss and a game producer, the company is really short of people, so he can only do his job...
But also because he is the boss, he is responsible for the least part of everyone.
After all, he still needs to control the overall direction of the game, but the workload is also huge.
Game producers, like film directors, are the ones who control the direction of the entire game.
Just like being a director, every movie will have its own style in it, and the same is true for games.
Li Wen's understanding of escape is very simple, pure terror, extreme terror, to scare players!
Therefore, he pays great attention to every detail of the game.
And because the game is open to the whole world, the horror in all games must be popular, and it must be the kind that makes players all over the world afraid.
This is quite difficult.
The workload of the eleven people involved in the production is very heavy.
And the most important point is to finish the game in time for the Ghost Festival.
It is now July in the Gregorian calendar, and there is almost a month to go until July and a half in the lunar calendar.
So there is not much time left for them.
Not only must the game be made well, but also in such a short period of time, every employee is under a lot of pressure.
However, there is an old saying that is very good, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road! Only in adversity can people grow.
Working overtime has become a common occurrence in Happy Paradise.
I work overtime until midnight almost every day, after all, such a large workload...
However, no one complained during this period, because Li Wen also worked overtime until midnight just like them.
Moreover, because it was not very convenient for him to communicate in the office before, he directly moved his equipment outside to work with everyone.
Although the employees who joined the company this time include Lao Zhang with low EQ and honesty, Xiao Li with social phobia, and Xiao Huang, who is talkative, etc...
But the process of making games while communicating with everyone gradually deepened the fetters.
In addition, after Brother Li Wen Sledgehammer made money, he also received a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and often bought hearty takeaways for the overtime employees.
His actions are appreciated and recognized by all employees.
After all, in this era, such a conscientious boss is really rare.
Other bosses are thinking about how to exploit employees better, and they have come up with some weird ways for this, such as asking employees who work overtime to pay electricity bills, Internet bills, etc...
And not only would he not do such wicked things, but he would also work overtime with the employees until midnight, and would often give the employees extra meals. Such a boss really... the employees cried to death.
After gradually getting acquainted with the employees, everyone began to speak freely, and they could speak out whatever they thought about the game.
If Li Wen thinks it's a good idea, 70% of the production team members agree with it and they can join the game.
If he thinks the idea is not good, he will try to persuade the other party, and of course he will ask the production team members to vote. If 70% of the employees agree, he will also join the game.
However, those ideas that are too outrageous will not be adopted at all.
like a prank or something...
Escape is a pure horror game.
Making the game the purest horror game is the only way out.
In a previous meeting, Zhang Chunsheng had some disagreements with Li Wen.
Zhang Chunsheng feels that if the game is too scary, there will not be too many players playing it. Some horror elements should be appropriately lowered, and elements that make players feel relaxed, such as fighting.
Li Wen also understood Zhang Chunsheng very well, but! He directly rejected Zhang Chunsheng's proposal, and expressed all his views.
It's actually quite normal for Zhang Chunsheng to have such an idea. Adding some counterattack combat elements into it can greatly reduce the horror atmosphere of the game, and at the same time expand it to more players.
For example, some players who want to play, but because the game is too scary, have little courage.
But in this way, the game will change into another style...from a horror game to a survival horror game.
For survival horror games, there are even more themes to choose from.
By the way, let me mention it first, there is no such theme as zombies in this world.
Horror movies are almost always some gods, ghosts, demons and the like, which exist in a form that humans cannot understand.
Therefore, if you really want to make a survival horror game, wouldn't it be better to change the theme to Resident Evil.
It's not that he doesn't want to do Resident Evil, it's just that he doesn't have that much money to support him yet.
The plot of a game like Resident Evil is very important, so a lot of motion capture is needed to complement the character's body and expression, etc., which costs a lot of money.
After Li Wen's patient analysis of the market and the benefits of an escape pure horror game, Zhang Chunsheng finally did not continue to propose the idea of adding the combat system.
Well, the bottom line is that the company doesn't have much money now, and the budget can only make escape games that don't have a combat system and are finished if they are caught by monsters.
The combat system sounds like just four words, but it requires a huge database to support it, the workload will be multiplied several times, and the investment will also be multiplied several times.
The loss outweighs the gain.
The original escape game sold very well in Li Wen's previous world. The reason is actually very simple, that is because the game is extremely scary.
The point of extreme horror is that game characters cannot fight back against enemy units that attack themselves.
An old man once said that if the gun of the protagonist of the shootout game Call of Duty is taken away, and the protagonist is not allowed to fight back, a refreshing shootout game can instantly become a horror game.
When you think about it, it is true.
Therefore, the main source of fear in escaping is not the dark environment, but the horrible events dug out bit by bit by the protagonist.
The biggest source of fear is actually the setting of not being able to fight back.
In the dark environment, the player has no idea where the deadly psychopath is hiding...
Once discovered by a psychopath, there is only one consequence...
It is this extreme fear that makes Escape sell so many copies.
Therefore, Li Wen felt that perfecting the intelligent AI of monsters was more important than anything else in the escape game.
Moreover, the monsters must be designed to be crazier, more extreme, and more terrifying than the original.
Now, the pressure is all on Li Xin.
Although the workload is heavy, it is the happiest day since she went to school.
She has gradually regarded the members of the company as her own family.
From being afraid to speak at the beginning to now being able to say a simple greeting from time to time, she has made a lot of efforts for this.
After her social phobia was known to her colleagues, not only was she not regarded as a freak, but they also encouraged her in various ways, making her feel as warm as at home.
Social phobia is often regarded by many people as moaning without illness and hypocrisy.
But is this really the case?
It's a disease, a mental illness that's out of the control of the patient, who wants to communicate with other people, but just can't.
Li Xin was very lucky to meet a group of lovely and friendly people, and her symptoms have begun to gradually ease.
Although she tried every means to draw the prototype of the horror monster every day, her heart became brighter and happier day by day.
...
"It's August today, and the temperature has reached a new high. Everyone must pay attention to heatstroke prevention."
After Li Wen entered the company, he was very satisfied to see everyone who had already started working.
She yawned. Last night, Chen Rui, the little girl, went crazy for some reason and kept talking.
He asked her without explaining the situation, but kept asking Li Wen to leave her alone.
Well, Li Wen really didn't plan to take care of her, he was going to sleep after taking a shower. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
But what this girl did didn't mean to stop him at all.
He even put on his pajamas (under normal circumstances, he still wears pajamas, unless he is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner.) The little girl ran into his room and sat on his bed, as if not leaving.
He was very helpless, and he was going to forcefully drive the little girl away from his bedroom. After a fierce battle, the little girl finally told the reason why she went crazy.
Since the establishment of the escape production team, Chen Rui found that she seemed to be a marginal person, unable to help with anything, and she was the most idle person in the company.
She usually just pours coffee for everyone, and she hates this feeling, and she also wants to get busy.
However, she didn't know anything, so she was very annoying, and she hoped that Li Wen could help her solve it.
Li Wen was very speechless, he was not some kind of Tinker Bell, he didn't have a universal pocket! !
So, there is nothing I can do to help.
However, he gave Chen Rui a suggestion, try to lie where no one can see when you have nothing to do, otherwise it will affect your mood.
Chen Rui was very dissatisfied with his suggestion...
Forgive him, he is too busy now, he has no time to take care of this girl Chen Rui.
He didn't have enough sleep in the first place, and with Chen Rui's fuss last night, he looked even less energetic.
Suddenly, he seemed to see a stranger, a sweet-looking girl, who was sitting in the rest area and smiling sweetly at him.
Some look familiar, but I can't remember who it is.
"May I ask who you are?"
The girl's originally sweet smile froze suddenly, and suddenly became very embarrassed... That's right! It was Xiao Tian himself.
