Alien game producer

[Chapter 8, preliminary beta version]

Ding Huaian felt that the mental state of this "little sailing boat" was really worrying.Why is it necessary to have so many horrific sound effects in a game like cutting necks, ripping off human skins, and burning corpses?

Did you make this game to take revenge on society?

Or is it that this person was bored and after seeing the email address of their studio, he randomly sent him emails to tease him?
Ding Huaian put his finger on the "add the other party to the blacklist" button.

Just as he was about to blacklist the other party, Xiaofangzhou sent another message: "A game background music with a buyout price of 3, do you think it's okay?"

Ding Huaian quickly retracted his finger.

That's simply... great!
He has produced singles for some Internet celebrities before, and the combined price of lyrics and music was less than 1. Now that there is no need to write lyrics, the price of composition alone has tripled?
In the next three months, their living expenses were covered.

The boss is really rich!

As a worker, you don't need to worry about the boss's mental state.As long as the money is available, he will record whatever the boss asks him to record.

So happy to decide!
Ding Huai'an swept away the worry on his face and replied with a smile: "No problem! However, our studio met a customer before and was halfway done with the order... Therefore, we hope to formally sign the contract and pay a 20% deposit in advance. , can the boss accept it?"

Xie Yunfan: "Okay, I'll sort out the contract and send it to you."

After the conversation ended, Ding Huaian still felt like he was dreaming.

After the three of them graduated from college, they established Dingdong Music Studio, hoping to make a career in the imperial capital on their own. Unfortunately, they were not well-known, and there were almost no active orders.

As a result, as soon as it opened today, there was a big business!
Ding Huaian looked at his partner beside him and said excitedly: "The deal is done! However, the boss is going to make a horror game. There are a lot of sound effects such as frying, burning, peeling skin, and cutting necks. How to make it?"

The three looked at each other for a moment.

After a while, Mu Qing put down the guitar in his hand and said: "I have a way. You can go to the kitchen to collect many sound effects. Cut a duck neck, roast a chicken leg, chop a rib, and fry rice cakes. If you process and modify it later, it should be able to Does it meet the boss’s requirements?”

Ding Huai'an praised: "Sister Qing, this is a good idea!"

The boss ordered the bodies to be burned and necks cut, but they couldn't really commit the crime...

Just use "Horror Kitchen" to create sound effects!

time flies.

There were no classes on Thursday morning, so Xie Yunfan went to get a business license, went to the bank, set up an independent public account for the studio, and then went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to engrave his seal.

When he received the special official seal and financial seal, his studio was officially established.

Currently, he is the only boss and employee in the studio, but he believes that the team will gradually expand.

He will definitely be able to find many like-minded friends like he did in his previous life.

Xie Yunfan printed out all three contracts with the character painter, scene painter and music studio, signed and sealed them, and mailed them out.

The contract is clearly written, the drawings and music are all at a buyout price, and it is enough to agree on the delivery time and the rights and obligations of both parties.

If he buys out directly and signs in black and white, he will not have any copyright disputes with these people whether his games sell well or not.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yue received a call from the courier boy and hurriedly ran downstairs in his slippers.

When the classmates in the class saw him, they couldn't help but asked curiously: "Ah Yue, what have you been doing recently? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy?"

Chu Yue scratched his head and said, "I took an order and am rushing to paint."

He usually ties his hair into a small braid on the back of his head, saying that it is "more artistic", but in the past two days he suddenly changed it to a "decadent style", and no longer braided his hair, leaving his hair as messy as a bird's nest.

I couldn't help it, my dreams were filled with all kinds of scary scenes, and I couldn't sleep well for several days.

Last night I dreamed that my tongue was pulled out and hung on the wall...

Chu Yue smiled awkwardly at his classmates, took out the documents from the express cabinet, quickly climbed up to the fourth floor, and pushed open the door of dormitory 4.

"Brothers, the contract has arrived! The sponsor's father is actually from Rongcheng, and it will be delivered by courier in the same city."

Several boys came over to look at the contract.

As a college student, receiving a paper contract for a commercial manuscript for the first time always feels very fresh.

The contract was written in a formal manner and stamped by the studio.

"Yangfan Studio?" Chu Yue looked at Zhang Zi in the lower right corner and asked doubtfully, "Never heard of it?"

"It must be a newly established studio." The roommate speculated, "Otherwise, we wouldn't be looking for college students with no reputation to paint the original scenes."

"It makes sense! The big studios all have regular cooperative painters, so it's not our turn." Chu Yue sat back in front of the computer and said, "Come on, come on, hurry up and color. This batch of paintings we have is probably from the new studio." This is the first game project and cannot delay the progress of the sponsor’s father!”

"That is, if the boss gives so much money, we must also show our strength."

The four people quickly sat back in front of the computer and actively devoted themselves to their work.

That night, Xie Yunfan received a private message from Painter Garden.

Chu Yue, who had hired three helpers, had already worked overtime to finish the original painting of the first picture "Tongue Pulling Hell" and sent it to Xie Yunfan for review: "Boss, take a look. Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

Chu Yue stared at the screen worriedly, fearing that his boss would be dissatisfied.

Unexpectedly, the boss responded quickly: "The composition is very good. I'll add some blood stains on the tongue, but the rest will be fine."

Chu Yue immediately said: "Okay, I will change it now!"

Within half an hour, Chu Yue finished coloring and sent it to Xie Yunfan.

Xie Yunfan said: "The first painting can be finalized. The subsequent paintings will continue to maintain this style and standard. Thank you for your hard work."

Chu Yue rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Is this finalized?He was also worried that Party A who paid more money would be difficult to serve, so he made repeated revisions.Unexpectedly, the boss I met this time was also very talkative.

Although the scenes he was asked to paint became more and more perverted, the boss himself was really kind and kind.He wanted to apologize for secretly complaining about the "perverted boss" in the first place.

The boss just has a slightly special taste. He is obviously a "fairy boss", right?
***
Xie Yunfan is the general planner and likes to write a schedule in advance and have all departments start work at the same time. He personally checks the progress of each department and coordinates the overall situation.

Under his supervision and coordination, all departments of the studio operate together, and his studio is also the most efficient team in the gaming industry.

This time, he made art and music work at the same time. He had already written the maze program. As soon as there was progress on the art side, he could immediately do 3D scene modeling.

However, scene modeling is very time-consuming, and with the modeling of players, NPCs and other characters, it will take a month to complete.If something goes wrong with the maze, it will be very troublesome to modify it.

The maze that has been completed so far must be carefully walked through several times to see if there are any bugs.

He had to go to class on weekdays and did not have time to take tests repeatedly. Thinking of this, Xie Yunfan found the person with the ID "Xiao Hu" on his mobile phone and sent a message: "Brother, the acting trainer, are you there?"

In the New Dream Game Studio, a curly-haired boy with a beard had just finished five rounds of ranking with his boss. After seeing the private chat pop-up window, he immediately replied: "Hello boss, do you need to play with me?"

Xie Yunfan said: "I remember you said before that you are a hardcore mobile game player and can play any game, right?"

Hu Fei immediately actively promoted himself: "That's right! I can play most of the popular mobile games on the market. Gun battles, RPG online games, simulation management, leisure and entertainment. If the boss needs power leveling, he can come to us for customized services. "

Xie Yunfan asked: "Can you play the maze game?"

Maze game? ?Two years ago, there was a cute maze game "Tower of Dreams" that became popular. Now that most players have completed it, no one has played it for a long time.

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment and replied: "Of course, boss, do you want me to help you clear the level?"

Xie Yunfan said: "No, I want you to help me test the game demo."

Hu Fei was stunned: "Ah? Game Demo?"

Game Demo...meaning, there is no beta version released?He has been practicing contemporary for so long, but he has never been exposed to the beta version!
Xie Yunfan said: "This is a small game I made myself. You can try it for two days and walk through all the paths in the maze. Check every corner to see if there are any bugs."

Hu Fei was flattered: "Well, I have never participated in a game test, so I have no relevant experience?"

Xie Yunfan said: "It doesn't matter. Since you are an old player, you must have been exposed to a lot of games, and it is easy to find some problems that I didn't notice. I will give you the game installation package, you can play it first. The testing fee is 2000, and you will be rewarded for every bug found. 200, I need to sign a confidentiality agreement, do you think that’s okay?”

Hu Fei: "..."

The boss gave me money and signed a confidentiality agreement, which sounded very official.

But this is not the business scope of game power leveling, right?

However, testing games and finding bugs sounds quite interesting.Since this is the first version of the game demo, maybe he is the first person in the world to play this game?

Thinking of this, Hu Fei immediately became excited: "No problem! Boss, I will help you test it right now."

Xie Yunfan sent him an installation package.

As a result, the installation package disappeared before opening it.

System: "Virus file detected, anti-virus software has automatically deleted it."

So unreliable?Hu Fei was speechless: "Boss, your installation package was intercepted by anti-virus software~~"

Xie Yunfan: "..."

Sorry, the internal beta version is not set up properly and may not be compatible with common anti-virus software.Xie Yunfan quickly modified some codes and sent the installation package to the other party again.

Hu Fei finally opened the installation package successfully.

The name of the installation package is "Maze Beta Version 0.1".

There were only 40 M in the game, which really shocked him.Today's large-scale mobile games are often dozens of G and 40 M games?It's a casual game simpler than Xiaoxiaole, right?

Sure enough, after the installation was completed, Hu Fei looked at the simple (shabby) picture and was silent for a moment.

The player image is the simplest stick figure image in the material library, and the maze is a monotonous house with black walls and red roads...

What kind of game is this?Kindergarten kids don’t even bother to play, right?
Just as Hu Fei was wondering, another message was sent to WeChat: "The scene modeling and character modeling have not been loaded yet. You should mainly walk through the maze and look for bugs."

Hu Fei reacted: "Oh, this one you gave me is a rough house that has not been decorated yet?"

Xie Yunfan: "Yes, it can be understood this way."

Hu Fei: "..."

He has been playing mobile games for more than ten years and has been a power leveler for five years. It was the first time he played the "rough house" closed beta demo without any graphics. It was really refreshing.

He had an impression of this boss. He met him when he went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to go through the formalities that day. He lost four games in a row. In order to expand his power-training business, he shamelessly promoted himself, gave the other party a name tag, and added him as a friend. .

Unexpectedly, the other party actually found him, but it turned out to be a game test?I remember that the other person was quite young and looked like a college student.Is it a graduation project done by students majoring in "Game Design"?

Hu Fei loaded the game with curiosity.

The first level of the maze is a straight line, with a one-third-three-thirds and nine-thirds branch design, making it easy to find the correct exit.

After walking, Hu Fei scratched his hair and thought it was quite simple.

However, halfway through the second floor, his smile gradually disappeared and he began to frown and think about his next step.

On the third floor, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he just took a pen and paper and drew pictures as he walked.

There's something about this maze!

A hardcore player like him, with a strong sense of direction, would actually get lost without drawing a map?
The paths on each level are designed differently.

The first level is a simple straight road, and on the second level there are a lot of winding and forked roads, and then there are winding mazes, dendritic mazes, mirror mazes, and even three-dimensional mazes...

The "Basic Room" version he has played so far has no picture or sound. Just walking through the maze feels pretty good. There are many unexpected innovations in the design.

If cute cartoon player images, colorful maze scenes, and relaxing and cheerful background music are added later, it will definitely become a very popular casual game, right?
