Saturday, March 23rd.
After a week of work, Yao Wenyang got the double weekend vacation that gamers dream of.
He lives in an old community, and the rent for a one-bedroom apartment is as high as 4,500 per month. The reason why he chose this place before was that it was relatively close to his original company, and it only took less than ten minutes to walk to and from work.
But now that I have switched jobs to Studio 404, I don’t have to work overtime as frequently as before, so renting this house seems to be a bit of a loss.
However, he can't change it in a short time. After all, the contract has not expired yet, so it is not easy to cancel the lease early.
Moreover, Yao Wenyang was also a little confused about whether to change his place to live, and he didn't think much about it.
Just after breakfast, the doorbell rang.
It was Wang Xinyin, the friend who had made an appointment with Yao Wenyang to come over to play.
Wang Xinyin and Yao Wenyang were college classmates. However, after graduation, one went to a game company and the other went to a public institution. Since then, the two have embarked on different life trajectories.
Wang Xinnian is quite free and can basically guarantee weekends off, so he often asks Yao Wenyang to hang out on weekends.
As a result, Yao Wenyang was either working overtime or had to catch up on sleep and rest, so he was never able to make the trip.
This weekend, it was difficult for the two of us to have a suitable time, so we made an appointment to meet at home.
Wang Xinyin put the milk tea he brought on the table: "Both cups are my favorite. You can choose which one you want to drink. But having said that, it's quite strange that you're not working overtime this week."
Yao Wenyang randomly picked a cup of milk tea that he liked, put in the straw and took a few sips. It tasted good: "Well, didn't I tell you before that I changed companies. In fact, I haven't worked overtime for about three months."
Wang Xinnian was sitting casually on the sofa, fiddling with the remote control to find a TV show. When he heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Then why didn't you make an appointment with me earlier? I'm so free every weekend! "
Yao Wenyang explained: "It's not that I don't want to find you, the main thing is...
"Come on first, I need to have a good rest, I'm too tired! Come on second, I'm not sure if I can stay in this company for a long time. What if this company becomes famous not long after I told you, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
"So I won't come to you until the company's situation stabilizes a bit."
Wang New Year was a little curious: "So what company have you changed to? It sounds like the work is quite intensive? No, isn't it said that there is an eight-hour work system and no overtime on weekends? How can you still be so tired?
"How tired can you be when you go to work, type on the keyboard, and wear a VR headset to play games?"
Yao Wenyang shook his head silently: "Hey, you don't understand this. This company... is quite special.
"As you know, "Walking with Darkness", which became a hit some time ago, was produced by our company."
Wang New Year nodded: "Oh, I know "Walking with Darkness". I've watched the anchor's defense breaking highlights several times. It's quite interesting, but I haven't played it. This game is actually made by your company? That's awesome. Come on! Which part are you responsible for?"
Yao Wenyang coughed slightly in embarrassment: "Well... my current job content has nothing to do with research and development. I am mainly responsible for multi-platform porting work. So I actually don't know much about the development of this game."
Wang New Year suddenly realized: "Oh, I'm just a tool man."
Yao Wenyang was a little dissatisfied: "He is indeed a tool man, but you can't blame me for that. Mainly because our boss is not a human being!
"He's so awesome! For a freshman, to be conservative, he did more than 70% of the work on "Walking with Darkness" from design to production by himself.
“So not only am I a tool person, our entire company is a tool person!”
Wang New Year's expression was full of shock: "Good guy, such a big game is almost done by one person? Then you are very happy, isn't it because you have a big boss to guide you? Then why are you so tired?"
Yao Wenyang said: "Didn't I tell you? This game company is quite special!
“Before, we had to do parkour and rock climbing training every afternoon, but now it’s even more extreme. On top of the parkour and rock climbing training, we also have fighting classes and martial arts classes every Thursday afternoon and all day on Friday!
"I'm so tired that I can only rest for two days on the weekend! Look at my muscles."
Yao Wenyang said, showing off his biceps to Wang Xinyin, who was stunned for a moment.
"Good guys, what kind of magical company are you here, and you even get paid for fitness... This is a better treatment than my public institution!
“This feels a bit like a company from Jingzhou, it’s so awesome!
"Does this kind of company really exist in Jinghai?"
Yao Wenyang sighed: "That's not all the evil places!"
Immediately afterwards, he recounted all the evil things he had encountered. For example, the company's address was chosen in a bankrupt parkour climbing gym. As a result, the climbing gym was revived with investment; the company's investor, another A boss spent a lot of money to buy an old house and transform it into a martial arts gym for the purpose of filming a new project...
"Recently, our boss asked us to collect some medical models, saying they would be helpful for us to learn martial arts and unlimited fighting! Well, that's what I just bought.
"The company directly reimbursed them all, so I bought a bunch of them."
Yao Wenyang pointed to the models he put on the shelf nearby.
Wang Xinyin went over to check in shock and saw that there were bone models, muscle models, blood vessel models, nerve models... In short, all the details of the human body structure were clearly visible.
Just seeing this thing in my own home is still a bit scary, especially at night.
"Aren't you afraid of going to the bathroom at night?" Wang Xinnian asked.
Yao Wenyang: "I just don't want to look here. Where is this? If you go to our company and take a look, it will be spectacular!"
"There are not only many of these small ones on the table, but also several life-size large models. It would be so scary to see a skeleton at night! But there is no one in the company at night."
Wang Xinyin couldn't help but be stunned. If this company hadn't already launched a successful game, he almost thought Yao Wenyang had gone to some MLM company with unique taste.
"Hey, that's right!"
Wang New Year suddenly remembered something: "Your company seemed to have released a game demo last night. It was called "Dubu Martial Arts". I looked at it and it was quite interesting. I originally wanted to try it today. This is your next game." A game, right?”
Yao Wenyang was confused: "Huh? Demo?"
Wang New Year was also stunned: "You don't know? Is this from your company?"
He quickly turned on his phone and looked at the R&D company and introduction of this demo on the official platform: "That's right, it was made by your company! Don't you know?"
Yao Wenyang also took out his mobile phone and was speechless after confirming: "Our company's next game is indeed "Dubu Wulin", and this demo is indeed issued by our company. But... I really don't know!"
Wang New Year complained: "Then what are you doing every day! You haven't participated in any official projects of your company? Your position in the company is too marginalized!"
Yao Wenyang didn't know what to say: "How to explain this? In fact, strictly speaking, I am already the sixth person in the company...second only to the two bosses and the boss's three roommates..."
He continued to look at the introduction of the "Doppu Martial Arts" demo: "Huh? This demo actually used Lu Renjia's collected data?"
Wang Xinyin was even more speechless: "You really don't know anything, do you? I even doubt that you go to work on a regular basis? Of course you used Lu Renjia's data collection, otherwise how could this demo be so popular? It was just uploaded last night, and today It’s already being discussed all over the internet!”
Yao Wenyang couldn't help but feel ashamed. Is it already a hot topic on the Internet?
As one of the core employees of Studio 404, I actually found out later than passers-by. This...
The mood is a bit complicated.
Of course he had also heard about Lu Renjia. This guy had defeated invincible opponents all over the country with his unethical boxing skills. It was even said that more professional teams ended up losing last night, and he looked like a big devil. .
As for Yao Wenyang, he is not as disgusted with Lu Renjia as others, but rather admires him.
This is because he also took courses related to unrestricted fighting from An Yunkai before and learned many damaging moves. But in An Yunkai's explanation, these moves are actually very difficult to use. They require not only skills, but also strong psychological quality and a little imagination.
Therefore, all 404 Studio employees who have taken relevant courses think that Lu Renjia is simply a genius!
Of course, this means that I didn't fight him. If they had fought each other, they would probably be as jealous as everyone else.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Lu acted righteously and joined the army against Lu Renjia?
Now it’s fun to watch!
"Wait a moment, I'll get the VR helmet!"
Yao Wenyang quickly took out his VR helmet, connected the screen to the TV in the living room, and prepared to take turns with Wang Xinnian to experience this new game demo.
