After reluctantly cooking some rice and eating a small bowl with pickled cucumbers, suddenly there was the sound of a key being opened at the door. Shi Ran quickly got up and lost one of his slippers in a panic on the way to the door.
Seeing Lin Huan who opened the door and walked in dejectedly, looking like she didn't know how much neglect and grievance she had suffered by Cheng Xiuyan's side, Shi Ran's heart ached. She moved over to please Lin Huan and wanted to take the backpack from Lin Huan's hand, but Lin Huan
Huan didn't even look at her, walked away from her, went back to his room and closed the door tightly.
Shi Ran had many topics brewing that night and wanted to talk to Lin Huan, but every time she walked to the closed door, she seemed to see the word "reject" on the door.
She was always hanging around the living room. Lin Huan would definitely not come out to take a shower or clean up after hearing the sound.
As a last resort, Shi Ran had to go back to her room and close the door. Soon after, Lin Huan's footsteps came from the living room. She entered the bathroom, and Shi Ran strained her ears to hear the sound of shower water.
After all, he went home. Since he had taken a bath, Lin Huan would definitely sleep at home tonight, right? Shi Ran lay on the bed, carefully catching the noise about Lin Huan. At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the living room returned to quiet, and Shi Ran also
Then I relaxed my nerves and counted sheep until I felt sleepy.
In the "Monster Manual", the basic requirements for the levels in the first chapter are almost developed. Shi Ran has accepted the program functions and quickly configured the monsters in the level. Miao Manman has also configured the main tasks, self-tested the configuration content, and run bugs.
The executive planner Xu Rui is in charge.
Afterwards, Miao Manman was responsible for following up on the communication requirements for CG production by Bai Ge’s new animation company, and at the same time writing plots for four daily dungeons.
Originally, there were still four daily dungeon design tasks in Shi Ran's hands. She had already decided on the dungeon's experience length, approximate gameplay, and output goals. The remaining design details needed to be refined and adjusted after Miao Manman's dungeon plot was completed.
Shi Ran spent two days in seclusion and completed the design of three scripted animations connected with CG, and then handed them over to Xu Rui for production.
The Qihang Editor has been optimized and updated by the Four Heavenly Kings, and now it is very easy to operate. Xu Rui did not encounter any major stucks when doing it. After Shi Ran observed it for a long time, he felt relieved.
Compared with the steady progress of his work, Shi Ran has been unable to find a breakthrough point in easing the relationship with Lin Huan.
After becoming the team leader, Shi Ran felt that the responsibilities on her shoulders were heavier. She used to be very competitive when working, but now she hopes that the work handed over from her hands can be more detailed and perfect, and at the same time she doesn’t want to lead others.
There was so much pressure on Miao Manman and Xu Rui that Shi Ran absorbed much of the work of conception and plan optimization while working overtime.
As he worked more overtime, the chances of meeting Lin Huan at home became less and less. Often when Shi Ran came home, Lin Huan was already asleep.
Every time he saw the takeout packaging neatly packed away by Lin Huan in the wet and dry trash can at home, Shi Ran felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
She missed the days when all the food cooked by her hands would be eaten up by Lin Huan with great admiration, even the soup would be mixed with the rice.
Lin Huan went to bed so early because he was actually avoiding Shi Ran, which made him even more helpless.
After all the program and configuration bugs in the first chapter were followed up by Xu Rui and confirmed that the repairs were completed, Shi Ran ran around in the game for a whole day. She always felt that the battles from level to level were really boring. She started to think,
How to make ordinary push levels more playable.
The level map currently only provides path-finding movement, but the map scene is very large and most areas are not used.
Shi Ran considered adding free movement and exploration to reduce the waste of scene space and increase the length of time players stay on the main level map.
Pathfinding movement is a clear route. Players can click on the main tasks and move forward without thinking. However, exploration does not provide pathfinding support. Planning and design are needed to solve the player's motivation to find exploration points.
How to provide prompts and guidance, how to make players interested in it, how to create changes and surprises for players when they reach the exploration point?
Shi Ran decided to focus on the collection of illustrations, which is the core of the game, from the relatively basic "growth-type fun pursuit" of obtaining game value items, to the "collection-type fun pursuit" of collecting points, and to add another layer of collection.
The "emotional fun pursuit" of discovering the secret events behind the elements.
These three levels of interest and pursuit are progressive, but each level is more difficult to achieve. Fortunately, Liu Yu’s previous lectures to Shi Ran covered these aspects, and the design theory he taught cannot be found online.
The information is all summarized by Liu Yu himself through practice and is a valuable wealth of experience.
After Shi Ran had sorted out her thoughts and started writing the exploration plan, Bai Ge and Yang Chengcheng called her into the producer's office.
Each of the two people took a resume and asked Shi Ran about Yao Yuan's past work situation.
Shi Ran ignored Yao Yuan's hostility towards her in the past and stated objectively, "After level design has been subdivided, he is better at planning dungeon designs. His brain works very quickly and he is rich in creativity."
"Have more experience in copy design than you? Can I complement you?" Bai Ge asked.
Shi Ran thought for a while. In the past, when she was working in Shengqian and following Yao Yuan to package the plots for each dungeon, she was actually struck by some of the gameplay in the dungeon. Those little flashes were all revealed by her and Yao Yuanzhi at that time.
The bad relationship between them was covered up. After the passage of time, she had to admit that she actually still approved of some of Yao Yuan's designs.
So she nodded, "We can complement each other. His copy is specialized, and I do more miscellaneous things."
"That miscellaneous thing you don't call should be said to be a polygon warrior. Some people like to drill down to a certain point, while some people like to let their skills flourish. I believe it won't take you three months to master the dungeon talent.
.”
When Bai Ge said this, he exchanged looks with Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng said with a smile: "Considering that you have strong learning ability, goal-oriented thinking, and some vague management awareness. We want to train you in the direction of all-round planning in the future, and if there is an opportunity, you will also be willing to
Challenge, try to be the executive master planner when the time comes, and help Bai Ge share the guidance and management work of the entire planning team."
Shi Ran was stunned. What did they say? They said they would let her be the executive planner in the future?
"Not yet, it all depends on your performance in the future." Bai Ge flicked the resume paper with his fingers, "You can interview this person yourself. As long as you think he can be your assistant, get him here."
When Zheng Cun heard that Bai Ge actually asked Shi Ran to decide whether Yao Yuan could pass the interview, and that there was a plan to train her to be the executive director, he immediately respected her and called her eldest brother and adoptive father just like Sheng Qian did.
The Human Resources Department helped Shi Ran make an appointment for Yao Yuan's interview at 2:30 pm on the 10th.
On the morning of the 10th, Shi Ran received his salary and bonus first.
Now her after-tax salary is 8,400 yuan, plus the 7,000 yuan bonus for recommending Liu Kai, Kong Wen, and Zheng Cun, her card suddenly has more than 15,000 yuan.
She did the math again. Not counting the accidental bonuses, if she fixed 8,400 yuan per month from now on, excluding the rent and the installments that need to be repaid to Cheng Xiuyan, she would still have 2,400 yuan left for living expenses.
