Chen An joined the company.
In just two days, he was already having a hot time with three other people.
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 mission for a building survival exploration game, I was all excited and eager to try it.
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.
After only four days, he submitted three very long side tasks.
Meng Shu looked at it and felt quite satisfied.
Although there are still flaws, it is much better than "Knock Knock" during the interview.
However, it still needs to be modified, because these three tasks are not actually scary.
So he adopted one and rejected the other two.
Then let Chen An focus on this task and make modifications, and then design the next one after passing it.
Meng Shu wants essence, not quantity.
Tasks need to be fun, not errands.
Therefore, although the efficiency is somewhat slow, the quality is gradually improving.
As a month passed by, Chen An also completed the side tasks that satisfied Meng Shu and no longer needed modification.
And he himself was also working hard to develop "Sky Mountain" while guiding his employees.
And because I was too busy, the recruitment and location selection of the new company was left to Finance Sister Mei.
I have to say that I am not used to not having a secretary by my side to handle these matters.
This made Meng Shu couldn't help but think back to the secretary in the world who helped him share chores, the 40-year-old Sister Zhang.
...
Next, there is Xia Nianzhen
There are some things about her scenes that need to be changed.
At this time, in the office area, Meng Shu stood behind the little beauty, guiding the process.
"This corridor is a bit wide. No, it won't give players a sense of suffocation, and it will also extend the player's movement distance. Narrow it a little, and it will be enough for three people."
"Yeah."
Xia Nianzhen began to revise, and Meng Shu supervised the entire process.
Based on his experience, only narrow and winding hotel corridors can give players a tense sense of danger.
There must be four corridors on each floor so that players will not end up in one corridor.
Instead, it will go around the corner.
And things like corners are so neat.
You never know what's at the next intersection.
If you want to take action and explore, then you must be prepared to face the unknown crises ahead.
Before you go out, think about what you have on hand and whether it can handle unexpected situations.
Therefore, in this "Sky Mountain", he wants to make players feel startled every step of the way.
"The stairs can be slightly wider. After all, it is a hotel. It only needs about four people. Then each staircase can be changed to 13 steps."
Xia Nianzhen was a little confused after hearing this.
"Um...why 13?"
Meng Shu crossed his arms and saw that the girl in front of him looked confused, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"The background of the game takes place in the West, and the number 13 is relatively taboo for the West. During the Middle Ages, a great man in the West suffered on the 13th. The number of steps on the gallows was also 13, and the ancient witch organization had 13 members. In short, it is feudal superstition to us, but it symbolizes some unknown meaning to them.”
Xia Nianzhen nodded in understanding and began to modify according to the boss's request.
What Meng Shu said is the history of this parallel world.
At this point, the two worlds are somewhat similar but different.
For example, there is no Jesus here, and there is no Last Supper.
But there is God.
"Is it just the steps? Do other things about 13 need to be changed?"
Xia Nianzhen asked.
But Meng Shu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled mysteriously.
"Let's modify this room 1408 alone..."
...
...
A week later.
Meng Shu came to the office of modeler Qiu Yuan and guided the monster modeling.
"Yes, it can be restored to a decent level, indeed."
"But the mouth of this monster can be opened a little further. In my imagination, this monster can swallow a person as long as it opens its mouth."
Meng Shu bent over and guided the monster model.
Qiu Yuan just nodded to express his understanding.
But he was still a little worried.
"Mr. Meng, there are almost more than 20 types of these monsters. Can the players really be able to handle their shapes... Take me for example. I was a little creepy when I was making them, and I was a little afraid to look at them. You know, this is just a look that has no effect, but if it is put into the game and encountered by the players in the dark corridor, won't it really bring a psychological shadow to them..."
Hearing this, Meng Shu couldn't help laughing.
"Don't underestimate the players. Over the past few months, they have become accustomed to "Face". There are more than 100 videos of the entire process on Danmaku.com, so we must believe in the players' abilities. But what you said makes sense. Then Let’s take a look when the time comes. If players report that it’s too scary to play anymore, then thank you for optimizing it.”
Qiu Yuan was on the verge of crying, but looking at the 21st monster being rendered in the software, he began to feel a moment of silence for the player in his heart.
He is sure that this game is definitely scarier than "Face"!
Because as a monster modeler, he couldn't stand the terrifying shape.
...
...
Three weeks later.
In the only game motion capture room, Meng Shu is directing four extras.
They are all recruited from the Internet and are extras looking for opportunities to become stars at various filming locations.
Meng Shu talked with them and expressed his willingness to hire them for a short period of time, with a daily salary of 200, including food and accommodation.
Several extras immediately agreed upon hearing this.
Then signed the contract and confidentiality agreement.
Now, it's time for them to work.
"You already know the background of the game. Now, you two are survivors in a hotel. You were discovered by monsters when you were looking for 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 at his feet, and then pointed to the blue line not far away.
"Can!"
"no problem!"
Two extras in motion capture suits immediately responded loudly.
It looked full of energy, which made Meng Shu very satisfied.
"Good, then...Action!"
After hearing the instruction, the two of them immediately ran forward.
In order to show their sense of escape, they also showed extremely frightened expressions.
Although it was clearly stated that there was no need to make any sounds as they would be matched later, they still showed the scream of escape.
Subsequently, with the help of animator Xu Hong and several assistants he recruited, the actual demonstration of the NPC escaping and being discovered by the protagonist was completed.
Next, comes 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 in understanding.
Then, Meng Shu looked at another actor and explained to him.
"You are her father. When you saw your daughter rescuing people, you resisted the monster in front and was unfortunately injured. Can you perform?"
The two actors looked at each other, then nodded.
"We can't guarantee that we can perform it well, but we will try our best to imagine the scene!"
Meng Shu saw this and nodded with satisfaction.
What he fears most is that he still pretends to know how to do it.
Although the two people in front of him couldn't guarantee it, their willingness to perform many times made him agree.
"So...Action!"
...
...
Another month later, "Sky Mountain" has been developed to 90% thanks to the hard work of all employees.
Right now, the only thing missing is the ending is not quite ready yet.
But this won't take long, because all the material resources are available, and the only thing missing is his development.
Moreover, more than 90 tasks have been implemented.
Among them, the side tasks are also related to each other, and all have follow-up plots, which is enough for players to experience survival and adventure in the building.
Within two days, I received the dubbing files and music files from Infinite Entertainment.
Meng Shu listened and thought it was pretty good, so he started to install it into the game.
At the same time, it was also explained to Infinite Entertainment that foreign language translation can begin.
After the game is officially completed, they can be used to rate the major media.
Then, after another week of optimization and adjustments, the actual demonstration of "Sky Mountain" was officially released!
