The three people's expressions all froze: "One, one week?"
Although they were in a hurry before, they never expected to produce the game within a week. This was too fast!
We are all still weak, helpless, and poor freshmen!
Lu Zhixing looked at them: "What's wrong with the week? The original play on stage lasted for just over an hour. Even if it was made into a game and some interactive gameplay was added, the entire game process would not exceed two hours.
"There are three of you, and each of you only needs to be responsible for the game process for forty minutes. Is this difficult when there are ready resources and detailed designs?"
Liu Bo and Lu Yixiao looked at each other.
It seems that if you put it this way, it is indeed... not difficult?
Liu Bo asked: "Brother Lu, what should we do with "Ordinary Life"? Let's finish "In My Eyes" and then do "Ordinary Life"? If the gap is too long, the popularity will not be enough to catch up."
Lu Zhixing said calmly: "It's okay, I will do "Ordinary Life" and try to sell it immediately after "In My Eyes"."
The three of them were all shocked. Even Zhao Haoyan, who was serious about playing games, turned around and said, "Front, front and back are on sale?! It will take Brother Lu a week to make this game!"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "What's wrong? Didn't I say before that after Professor He gave me the qualification for internal testing, he helped me contact a research group that could use some new technologies. I estimate that it should be about the same in a week.
.”
The expressions of the three of them seemed to be split.
Lu Zhixing did call them before and said that Professor He's internal beta quota would allow him to use some new technologies, but what kind of new technologies could make such a huge game within a week?
This is not a new technology, this is black technology!
But seeing Lu Zhixing's serious look, they realized that this was not a joke.
I felt a little ashamed for a moment.
The three of them worked on "In My Eyes", which lasted for up to two hours, but one week was still not enough. In the end, Lu Zhixing had to work on "Ordinary Life" by himself? And the time was also one week?
What is this called?
I am an army by myself?
Now the three of them were completely convinced and immediately finished the work at hand quickly. From now on, they must race against time to produce.
Lu Zhixing also left the dormitory and returned to the Internet cafe.
From now on, retreat!
…
…
Lu Zhixing told the instructor directly and asked dormitory 404 to take all the classes this week off to concentrate on making games.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Zhixing even felt like "there is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the year is unknown in the cold and heat."
Wednesday, October 25th.
Lu Zhixing came out of the VR game cabin and finished his work for the day.
"Phew...so exhausted.
"In this way, the game "Ordinary Life" is basically completed. As for the remaining details, it should not be a big problem if we have another two or three days to tinker with it.
"This kind of conscious connection production technology really helps a lot. If we use traditional methods, it will take twice as long even if we already have ready-made materials.
"If I had to hand-paint even the materials, I'm afraid the time would have to be doubled several times."
The fact that Lu Zhixing can do it so quickly has a lot to do with the characteristics of the game "Ordinary Life" itself.
Although this game seems to have many scenes and complicated gameplay, it actually does not have very complicated game processes and plots, and these gameplays are relatively simple. At its core, it is still a simulation survival game.
If all resources are replaced with a rudimentary version on PC, then the game will actually be slightly larger than an independent game.
After Lu Zhixing solved the material problem of this game through the life-playing game, the time required for actual production was greatly shortened.
I took the phone and saw two missed calls on it, from Liu Bo and Yi Ping.
Lu Zhixing called back in chronological order, calling Liu Bo first.
"Hey? Brother Lu, the production of "In My Eyes of You" is finally completed! If you have time, please go back to the dormitory to check and accept our results! By the way, let's also decide when to upload and release it?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Okay, I'll be back in about half an hour."
Then call Team Leader Zhou.
"Xiaolu, there is nothing particularly important. It just reminds you to pay attention to your health and balance work and rest. Every time I enter 'Taiqing', I can see a large number of new resources. Although this is a good thing, it looks a bit scary.
ah.
"You are very important now, but you must not be tired.
"By the way, there is another thing besides this. After a period of internal testing, the official has decided to hold a press conference to officially announce the game production technology of this kind of consciousness-generating material to the outside world. The 'Tai Qing' virtual world
Of course, things about deep space will also be announced.
"Oh, this press conference itself is nothing special. It's all things you already know. It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not.
"The key is that in order to showcase and promote this new technology, the official will collect a batch of games related to this new technology internally. By then, there may be dozens of games, some new games, and some remakes.
For old games, a collection is recommended on the official platform.
"If you think it's appropriate, I'll submit "Ordinary Life"? The press conference should be this weekend. Can you make the game development progress in time?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "If you have time, please report it."
This recommended resource is quite important to him. Although it is a collection of dozens of games, "Ordinary Life" can stand out as long as it is done properly.
There is a lot of traffic support for activities like this on the official platform. Although there are dozens of games, it will cause serious diversion, but what if all the traffic of other games is grabbed?
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhixing locked the door, left the Internet cafe and went straight to the dormitory.
…
In dormitory 404, Liu Bo, Lu Yixiao and Zhao Haoyan all had dark circles under their eyes. Although they were excited about completing the game, they could still feel a strong sense of exhaustion.
They are not as efficient as Lu Zhixing, nor are they as energetic as Lu Zhixing. They have worked overtime this week to produce, but it has been hard for them.
But now that the game is finished successfully, all the hard work is worth it.
"Okay, let me give it a try. You three should eat something first and go to bed."
Lu Zhixing threw the pancakes he bought along the way to the three of them, and then started to play the game version of "In My Eyes".
This time "In My Eyes" has been produced in three versions at the same time, namely VR version, PC version and mobile version.
Compared with the previous stage play, the game version of "In My Eyes" adds a very important setting: control and interaction through blinking.
Needless to say, the VR version can be perfectly supported by consciousness connection technology; both the mobile version and the computer version require camera permissions to monitor the player's sight before they can play.
Of course, considering that some players do not have cameras, we also provide ways to play without cameras, using mouse clicks or touching the screen instead of blinking.
But the sense of immersion will be slightly worse.
The game lasts about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Compared with the stage play, it has added some interactive play details. Although the play time is still a bit short, it basically meets the passing line for artistic independent games.
When the time comes, it should be good to lower the selling price a bit and sell it cheaper.
Lu Zhixing ran through all the games on the three platforms, found several minor problems each, and took notes.
This run lasted five hours. By the time Lu Zhixing finished running, the other three people had already woken up one after another.
"What's going on, Brother Lu?" All three people gathered around.
"Well, it's generally fine. I just need to fine-tune a few small details."
Lu Zhixing compared the records in the document and briefly explained to the three of them the changes that needed to be made. If everything goes well, these changes should be completed in a day or two.
Liu Bo was very happy: "Great, there are no big problems! Brother Lu, should we consider creating a studio account on the official platform and publish it?"
"Or, use your own personal account to post it, Brother Lu? You should have your own personal account, right?"
There are two ways to publish games on the official platform, one is a personal account, and the other is a studio account.
The two accounts are completely independent, a bit like the difference between personal accounts and corporate accounts in chat software.
After the studio account is created, you can add a co-creation list to it. At that time, Lu Zhixing can add Liu Bo and other three people to it, and directly use the studio account to distribute money to them according to the established proportion, eliminating the need for such things as salary payment and deduction.
Taxes and a series of troubles.
However, this means that the main creator's income will be divided more. After all, it has changed from a fixed salary to a profit share. The more popular the game is, the more it will be divided.
Therefore, many producers do not like to use studio accounts, but use personal accounts to publish. After receiving the income, they only pay a fixed salary and a small bonus to others, and do not allow them to participate in account sharing.
For Liu Bo and others, this game was provided by Lu Zhixing from creativity to materials, so even if Lu Zhixing released it using his personal account, they would have no problem with it, as long as the hard-earned fees due afterwards were paid.
Lu Zhixing was silent for a moment.
personal account?
Stranger?
"Zen"?
He immediately shook his head: "No, I don't have a personal account! Let's just register a studio account."
These three people are responsible for the main production work, so they should get a share. What's more, Lu Zhixing doesn't want his personal account and studio account to be mixed up. The matter of "Stranger" and "Zen" is not a last resort.
It's better not to be exposed.
Liu Bo and Lu Yixiao were both surprised: "Hey, Brother Lu, you don't have a personal account? Then you can register a studio account."
Lu Zhixing opened the official backend, applied for a studio account, and then filled in the four people's real information.
"What name should I give...
"If you have it, let's call it Studio 404!"
Lu Zhixing entered the name of the studio and pressed the Enter key.
No one has registered and can use it.
Lu Zhixing was very happy: "OK, I will design a logo later. This time our 404 studio will become an instant success!"
…
PS. It should be on the shelves around the 5th of next month. I have been saving up my manuscripts during this period and it will be tens of thousands of dollars a day after it goes on the shelves. Please continue to ask for monthly votes and recommended votes!
