Just like that, Shen Jie, who was originally upstairs, was suddenly rushed downstairs to the game department.
"Um, hello. I'm here to help."
Although Shen Jie and Feng Qi were very familiar with each other, Feng Qi, who was engaged in programming, did not need the help of a painter, so Shen Jie's contact partner suddenly changed from Feng Qi to one of the three people.
This change, which was not too big, made Shen Jie a little at a loss. The reason was that the other person looked like he was not close to strangers and did not like to talk. Therefore, Shen Jie also had a headache on how to communicate with the other person.
To be honest, Shen Jie himself has a slight social fear. The main manifestation is that if the other party is not proactive enough, then Shen Jie will generally not take the initiative to find the other party.
Therefore, when we are two people here, you stare at me and I stare at you, big eyes and small eyes.
"Well, you came just in time. I'm Liu Miao, you can call me Da Meow. I'm the level planner of the game. Now there happens to be a problem that needs you to solve."
After the two sides looked at each other for more than ten seconds, Liu Miao finally couldn't help but speak first.
After hearing these words from the other party, Shen Jie became less socially fearful.
"My name is Shen Jie."
Shen Jie also introduced his name.
Although his details should already be known clearly, he still needs to introduce what needs to be introduced.
"Currently, the production of the game is on track, but I want to add some decryption elements to the levels, so I still need your help."
Da Miao told Shen Jie about the current production progress of the game, and also explained why he was asked to come here to help.
"This is a simplified version of the level map I drew before, as well as the approximate location of the mechanism. Now you have to draw this scene, and I want to see what the decryption settings look like."
Da Miao said, and handed Shen Jie a dozen pieces of draft paper from the cabinet. The curved drawings on it should be the game's level map.
Fortunately, it is not as magical as Li Ruiyan, but it is very concise. With the annotations above, Shen Jie quickly understood what the painting was.
"What style do you want to create? Personally, I am better at the cute style."
Shen Jie said after reading the other party's draft.
Although the things marked on the drawing are quite comprehensive, in the final analysis it is just a sketch, with only a rough outline, so that I have no idea what style the map is.
"Good at cuteness? That's great! The main focus of our game is two-dimensional girls. In addition to designing the game map, you can also help draw the drafts of the characters."
Da Miao was very happy when she heard Shen Jie say that she was good at cuteness.
Although we still don't know what Shen Jie's skills are, but with Luo Huan's signature and some past works, there should be no problem.
The final drawing of the character must have been done by Luo Huanlai, but the draft can still be left to Shen Jie.
This can also speed up the progress a bit, and Shen Jie is a student of Luo Huan, so there will definitely be similarities in style, which can also save Luo Huan some effort when painting.
However, drawing characters and scenes is different from drawing comics. If we insist on making an analogy, it is basically the same as the color page Shen Jie drew for Doraemon before. It can be said that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. But
Once painted, it can basically be used for a long time.
However, maps cannot be drawn casually. In addition to a background image, there are also many small mechanisms that need to be drawn individually.
And looking at the draft provided by Da Miao, there are quite a few mechanisms like this, so this is undoubtedly a huge project.
"Have you decided on the map type? Is it a future science fiction style, a modern city, or some natural scenery?"
Shen Jie also carefully inquired about the other party's requirements before writing.
For those who paint, especially when working for Party B, it is very important to understand the needs of Party A. You cannot just immerse yourself in painting just because the other party gives a rough goal, otherwise you will definitely need to modify it in the end.
Therefore, before drawing, Shen Jie also asked the other party to describe their needs clearly.
"It's like this. You can think of it as a map in the style of future science fiction, but with a few fantasy elements on it. The overall style tends to be bright, not cyberpunk. The most important thing is to bring it in.
It’s a little bit fantasy, but it shouldn’t be too fantasy. Just keep this level in mind.”
After listening to Da Miao's description, Shen Jie's heart collapsed. What is science fiction with a hint of fantasy? In his impression, the two cannot go together at all.
However, since the customer has already put forward the demand, Shen Jie can only bite the bullet and paint.
However, if you want to draw it, you still have to figure out what this sci-fi takes away from the fantasy.
So Shen Jie turned his head away again, preparing to ask.
However, Da Miao was already prepared and began to tell Shen Jie what science fiction with fantasy is.
"Well, if science fiction is called human fantasy of future technology, and fantasy refers to some ideas that have no scientific basis, then science fiction that takes away the flavor of fantasy is very easy to understand. For example, we are now
The air conditioner used is a technological product. What does it look like if it has a bit of fantasy elements? First of all, it must be driven by the ice element. The appearance will definitely not be what it is now, and it will definitely emit some light or something."
Da Miao pointed to the air conditioner in the room and explained to Shen Jie.
And from the other party's examples, Shen Jie also understood the style the other party wanted.
To put it simply, it is to use technology to show some magic.
Shen Jie then drew an air conditioner that looked like this according to what the other party had just described.
I saw that the original shape of the air conditioner had been completely transformed and turned into a box with a magic circle engraved on it, constantly spitting out cold air.
"Do you think this is okay?"
Shen Jie took the draft and said to the other party.
"It's quite good, that's the style. However, you still used too much force in this picture, which makes people feel that it is in a magical world. It would be better if it could be lighter."
Big Meow said.
After this round of discussion, Shen Jie probably understood what the other party wanted.
I can only say that the other party is indeed a professional, and he can clarify your needs in a few words.
If he met someone who didn't know what he wanted, Shen Jie would probably give up and run away.
And now that he has figured out the needs, he has started to work.
However, although he was here to help, there was no place for him downstairs, or there was no space reserved for art. So he had to go back upstairs to paint.
When he returned upstairs, he saw no one in the studio.
