At the Monday morning meeting, Zheng Yongchun focused on asking the program to synchronize the progress of the engine update and requested further acceleration.
Jiang Lan scolded him, "How to speed up? The instructions haven't been translated yet. Is it easy for us to cross the river by feeling the stones?"
Zheng Yongchun avoided the important and took the easy, "Lin Feng, it's your turn."
Lin Feng explained the art team's work last week and this week's plan. Zheng Yongchun knew that Lin Feng and the others were following Bai Ge's orders and did not dare to question.
When they got to the planning side, Zheng Yongchun didn't say much because Yang Cheng's office door was open so he could hear what he said.
On Monday afternoon, Shi Ran was discussing the world view with Miao Manman when he saw a man with a build like a Mongolian man and a beard rushing into Yang Cheng's office.
"White Pigeon is here." Miao Manman blinked, "Did something big happen? Why is he so anxious?"
His nickname was somewhat literary and artistic, but his appearance was majestic and majestic. The strong contrast left an unforgettable impression on Shi Ran.
In less than ten minutes, Yang Cheng came out and called Lin Feng into his room.
After another five minutes, Jiang Lan and Ma Xuewen were called in by Lin Feng.
These people sat in Yang Cheng's room and did not leave for a long time.
Maybe Yang Cheng had run out of drinks in the refrigerator, so he came out at about four o'clock in the afternoon and asked Shi Ran to go to the administrative department to get a box of bottled water.
Ye Xiaopeng volunteered to help Shi Ran carry the water back, and Shi Ran took it to the producer's office.
Upon entering, the room was filled with smoke, and even the open window could not dissipate the choking smell created by the three men smoking together.
Shi Ran unpacked the water, handed each person a bottle, and then took out a few bottles and placed them on Yang Cheng's desk and coffee table. During this period, she heard the conversation between Bai Ge and Yang Cheng.
The CG company is running away with money, people can no longer be contacted, lawsuits are going to be filed, and the legal disputes are taking a long time to deal with. There may not be any progress before May. The sudden change suddenly disrupted Baige's demo production.
plan.
According to Bai Ge's original idea, this game demo should be able to demonstrate for at least thirty minutes, but before the CG company ran away, he only gave him six animation clips, with a total duration of only ten minutes, which could not sustain what was needed at the review meeting.
The length of the presentation.
Based on the key points summarized by Shi Ran University’s travel research club and after working, the demo does not necessarily have to be fully functional. What it needs to focus on is the unique game core.
For example, Demo can take the hard-core development route, focusing on showing the development team's superb technology, beautiful in-game graphics, and showing off the development strength of the R&D team.
Choosing this direction requires as much consideration and implementation of system functions and technical aspects as possible during the Demo stage.
Or, it can also take a conceptual route, focusing on expressing the thoughts and beliefs that the game wants to show, digging into, constructing, and fully rendering the cognitive and emotional style and pursuit.
If you choose this direction, the demo stage can put the first priority on how to express feelings, use more CG animations instead of actual in-game images, and focus more on mobilizing atmosphere and emotion rather than functions and technology.
Previously, Shi Ran thought that Baige was going to take the second conceptual route. When he learned that he was completely using CG outsourcing to make the demo, Shi Ran understood and approved it.
CG can indeed produce conceptual demos, but the disadvantage is that CG production is very expensive, and for development teams with limited budgets, this cost is unaffordable.
Bai Ge must have trusted that CG outsourcing team because he paid a total of 2.5 million, but the actual recycled content was only worth 1 million, resulting in a net loss of 1.5 million.
In this regard, he did not beat his chest very much. He only said that the industry environment has been bad in the past two years, which has led to all kinds of moths emerging one after another.
The important thing is that it is definitely too late to find a new CG company now. Bai Ge temporarily wants to change the direction of the demo and turn the conceptual demo back to a hard-core development demo.
He asked Yang Cheng if he could quickly develop a few sets of system functions to create the twenty minutes of missing content beyond the ten minutes of CG, such as the character creation process, the camp system, the combat system, the basic growth of the protagonist, and the core monster collection, that is,
The monster illustration system of the same name as the game.
The usual smile on Yang Cheng's face disappeared. Before he could say anything, Jiang Lan became anxious.
The game engine is being updated to the V9 version. Now Jiang Lan is in a mess. Even the basic game project cannot be started. It is impossible to roll back the engine version. She has made a lot of adjustments based on the new version. Even if she rolls back to the old version, the result will be
It must be that conflict and error reports are everywhere, the project is paralyzed, and it is impossible to develop the system functions and services Bai Ge mentioned.
Baige rejected the idea of rolling back the old version and insisted on upgrading to the new V9 version. He asked: "Tell me your core stuck point."
"I still have to look at the code and study the many new features of the V9 version." Jiang Lan anxiously clutched the bottle of water in her hand, "The translation of the instructions of the Four Heavenly Kings is too slow."
Bai Ge unscrewed the bottle and drank half the bottle of water in a few gulps. "How about I bring them over and sit next to you and Ma Xuewen?"
"Yes!" Jiang Lan was excited, "If there is a problem, they can respond immediately and the engine upgrade should be completed in about a week at the earliest!"
"There's still not enough time. I upgrade in one week, and then only have five days left to do development. How can I catch up with the review meeting?" Lin Feng counted the dates on his fingers. "Take the combat system as an example. In five days, even the combat UI has been adjusted.
If there is no effect, let alone performance in battle. Jiang Lan, can you have time to create a sense of impact? Ma Xuewen, can you master the combat attributes in five days?"
Jiang Lan and Ma Xuewen shook their heads wildly. How complicated is it to make game battles? If there is only a set of front-end and back-end programs, it may not be possible to achieve the ideal quality in not to mention five days, not to mention fifty days.
It is already difficult to achieve in one battle, let alone so many things that Bai Ge listed just now? This is simply an impossible task!
"I have an idea." Yang Cheng still had the same unhurried look, and attracted everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth. He looked at Bai Ge with a smile, "Change your mind, if you go into battle and do a studio
Person in charge, Du Yu and Lao Lu should give you some face during the review meeting, right? If you can buy an extra month, you will be more confident in the demo production."
Heavy Rain and Lao Lu are the other two founders of Getian Technology.
Among the three founders, Bai Ge is the youngest and is said to be the most arrogant. After hearing what Yang Cheng said, Bai Ge lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then slapped his thigh and said, "You guys should stop looking for masterminds outside. I'll be the one."
This is the main planner."
Lin Feng, Jiang Lan, and Ma Xuewen, including Shi Ran who was standing in the corner and listening, were all startled, and they all said, "Ah?!"
"Ah what?" Bai Ge drank the remaining half of the bottle of water. When he scanned the room of people, his eyes stayed on Shi Ran's face for a moment longer, "Who are you?"
