To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 382 I'm Cowardly, Ruan Guangjian

Friday, January 1th.

Shangyang game.

"Welcome to come and guide the boss!"

As soon as Ruan Guangjian entered the office area, he saw the employees of Shangyang Games on both sides of the road welcoming him and applauding warmly.

Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, and Wang Xiaobin stood at the front, with the words "Looking for talents and thirsty" written all over their faces.

Ruan Guangjian was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, don't be so polite."

"I just finished my work over there, so I came here to drop by casually. Don't worry about me, don't delay your work."

Lin Wan smiled and said, "No, no, Mr. Ruan, you are too modest."

"As the original artist that Mr. Pei relies on most, it can be said that your art has given the soul of Tenda games. The sales of Tenda games are so high, a large part of it is your credit!"

"You and Mr. Pei can be said to be the best partners. Now that you come to Shangyang Games, even if you just give pointers casually, it will definitely benefit us a lot!"

"Come on, please take a seat. This is a seat specially reserved for you. You are always welcome!"

They led Ruan Guangjian to a separate workstation, which had just been vacated, next to Ye Zhizhou and diagonally opposite to Wang Xiaobin.

Ruan Guangjian sat down at the work station, and took out the hand-painted board he carried with him: "Your work station...is it standard with Tengda?"

When he came to Shangyang Games, he had a feeling of returning to Tengda.

The office environment is so similar!

Whether it is a spacious office space, a wide desk, a comfortable ergonomic chair, or a high-end computer and dual-screen monitor, it is completely the same standard as Tenda.

Lin Wan nodded: "Yes, although Shangyang Games is a subsidiary of Tengda Games, in fact, there is no distinction between them. Mr. Pei always treats all employees equally, and never distinguishes between three, six, and nine."

"In fact, the office environment here has only been moved here for a few months, and it has been rearranged according to the standards of Tenda Games."

"This arrangement seems to be easier to stimulate employees' enthusiasm for work."

Motivate employees to work?

Well, indeed, working in such a comfortable place is indeed very different from working in those cramped and cramped workstations...

Ruan Guangjian turned on his office computer while listening to Lin Wan's introduction about Shangyang Games.

It's pretty good, from Tengda games to Shangyang games, the seamless connection, the office environment is very familiar, and it doesn't take extra time to get used to it.

"This is the game we are developing. "BE QUIET" is a horror-themed game. Big brother, you can play it casually and give us your opinions." Lin Wan pointed to the game icon on the desktop.

So far, "BE QUIET" has been developed to the second major version, and more than half of the progress has passed.

It's just that there is still a certain distance from the real launch.

Simple function development is fast, but until a game is officially released, it is necessary to repeatedly fine-tune various gameplay and details, and fix a large number of bugs. These subtleties in the later stage cannot be ignored.

Upon hearing the horror theme, Ruan Guangjian's expression changed, and he quickly waved his hands: "Horror games? No, no, no, I am most afraid of horror themes!"

"If I had known that the project you are developing now is a horror game, I would not have come here!"

"Like "Midnight Call", "Zerg", "Chain Maniac", "Haunting", "Resurrection Night", "Spirit Flash", "Ghost Records", "The Grudge"... I think these I'm scared to death when it's over!"

Lin Wan was embarrassed, and a question mark slowly floated above her head.

ha?

I am most afraid of horror themes, but I have seen all of these classic horror movies?

For a moment, Lin Wan didn't know how to answer the conversation.

She thought for a while and said, "It's okay, our game is still in the development stage, it's not scary at all."

"Not scary at all?" Ruan Guangjian said, reluctantly opened the "BE QUIET" icon, "Then I will try to play a little bit."

Lin Wan nodded: "Okay, you experience it slowly, if you have any opinions, you can tell me or Ye Zhizhou."

Ruan Guangjian put on the headset and quickly entered the game.

Lin Wan secretly pulled Ye Zhizhou, and whispered: "Look out for the boss, he said he is timid, so don't scare him. Pay attention at any time, understand?"

Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Before the two of them finished speaking, they heard Ruan Guangjian next to him say "ah" and let out a moderate exclamation.

When entering the game, there is a dynamic game scene on the screen.

In the madman's village, the night is shrouded, and the strange light blue flame is burning, reflecting a madman villager with bloodshot teeth and eyes. At this time, he is waving a machete and chopping beside the strange light blue flame wearing something.

The light was very dim, and one could vaguely see dark red blood splattering from the hacked thing.

At the end of the loading, the whole scene will suddenly darken a little, and the crazy villager who has been chopping something next to the light blue flame will suddenly get up and walk off the screen.

Then, before the player could react, the face of this crazy villager would suddenly poke out from the right side of the screen, appearing in the player's field of vision at super close range, and let out a sickly, crazy grin, and then The bloody hatchet slashed at the camera!

With the screams, the screen will be covered with blood quickly, and then the title of the game will appear before officially entering the game.

Ruan Guangjian was frightened by this scene just now, he almost jumped up from his seat.

Ye Zhizhou hurriedly said, "Are you all right?"

Ruan Guangjian nodded: "It's okay, it's okay...ah!"

Not long after entering the game, I was taken aback by a little mouse that suddenly ran across the scene.

Ye Zhizhou: "..."

Suddenly, I have doubts about whether Mr. Ruan can successfully experience the whole process of the game and put forward corresponding suggestions for art revisions...

He thought for a while, and suggested: "Boss, why don't you just look at the art resources, including original paintings, modeling, etc., just look at these, and the degree of shock should be good."

Ruan Guangjian shook his head: "That must not work!"

"From concept to original painting, then to modeling and scenes, the concept will change at every step. For example, from original painting to modeling, the original artist's thoughts will be partially distorted, and the modeler will add some of his own ideas .”

"No matter how hard you try, it's hard to completely avoid this situation."

"So, I have to see the actual scene in the game, so that I can feel the unharmonious places in the whole art atmosphere and make targeted modifications."

"Don't worry, I'm okay, I'm okay."

Ye Zhizhou couldn't help being moved when he saw the boss being scared twice and still insisting on trying the game.

Look, what is professionalism!

The boss is obviously very sensitive to horror themes, but at this time he is trying to overcome his inner fear in order to make the game better. This kind of spirit is really touching!

……

It didn't take long for Ruan Guangjian's surprises to fill the office area of ​​Shangyang Games, and even Lin Wan in the director's office could vaguely hear it.

It's just that everyone didn't have any idea of ​​snickering, but admired Ruan Guangjian even more.

I was so scared that I still persisted, this is true love!

It can only be said that the success of the boss is not accidental, but a kind of necessity. Just this kind of perseverance is not something ordinary people can have!

Ye Zhizhou, who was sitting next to Ruan Guangjian, felt a little proud inexplicably.

Our game, the horror effect is so good?

In fact, Ye Zhizhou had no idea about the horror effect of this game before.

This is the first time for Shangyang Games to make a horror game. Although everyone in the design team has played the horror game for a long time, and Lin Wan and others have also gone to the haunted house to collect materials, they are still somewhat lacking in experience.

Moreover, the main gameplay of this game is online, relying on "scare people" instead of setting up procedures and mechanisms to scare people.

But now the game has not started testing at all. There are no players in it, and it is all AI. This level of scariness must be discounted.

Coupled with the art resources that are not yet in place, the gameplay that is not particularly perfect, and some small bugs, Ye Zhizhou feels that the completion of the game is far from enough.

But now, Ruan Guangjian can be scared like this. Does it mean that this game has a good horror effect for ordinary people?

Just as he was thinking, Ruan Guangjian quit the game and took off his earphones.

Ye Zhizhou just wanted to comfort him, but found that Ruan Guangjian's face was ruddy, his complexion was excellent, and he even seemed a little excited.

Ye Zhizhou: "?"

This situation was beyond his expectation.

Is this the same person who yelped in fright from a mouse just now?

Ruan Guangjian said sincerely: "Director Lin didn't lie to me, this game is really not scary at all."

Ye Zhizhou: "?"

What's the situation, isn't it you who was screaming in fright just now?

Ye Zhizhou vaguely felt that something was wrong, Mr. Ruan's definition and expression of terror seemed to be inconsistent...

Before playing: No, I am very afraid of horror themes.

In the process of playing: screaming in fright.

After playing: Well, it's really not that scary.

Moreover, it gives people the feeling that he is not talking hard, but is thinking from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Zhizhou hurriedly took out a small notebook: "Then tell me your opinion, big brother."

Ruan Guangjian's mental state was very good, he didn't look like he was frightened just now, but he was a little excited.

"I think the gameplay of this game is almost in place, but it just lacks the creation of details and atmosphere."

"Through these small details, the horror atmosphere is increased, making it easier for players to get a sense of substitution. How can horror be done well? The key is to look at the details!"

"For example, I really like the scene at the beginning of the game!"

"I usually use the decibels and frequency of my screams to judge whether a horror theme is good. Obviously the scene at the beginning of the game is very good."

"However, this kind of content alone is still a bit small, and some small aspects have not been taken care of."

"For example, a setting can be added. When the scary thing approaches, the player will hear the sound of his own heartbeat, and the closer the distance, the faster the heartbeat frequency will be!"

"This seemingly simple sound effect will be very useful for setting off the atmosphere!"

"For another example, the darker the painting style, the better. Too low visibility will indeed aggravate the player's tension, but if you always play in this environment with too low visibility, the player will feel very depressed and want to quit after a long time. Game break."

"Therefore, there is a limit to restricting the player's field of vision, neither too bright nor too dark... It may not be clear, I will find you a picture, and you can see how the effect is."

"Another example is some small details. Although there are some scary mechanisms in the game now, they are relatively large and lack small mechanisms. What are small mechanisms? For example, strange wind and grass, slow moving objects on the table, A bloody handprint appeared inadvertently on a certain piece of glass..."

"Some people may not be able to see this small scary mechanism, but in a highly tense situation, after seeing it, the effect may be scarier than those monsters that suddenly popped up..."

"This is not difficult to do, the key is to be patient..."

Ruan Guangjian talked non-stop, and Ye Zhizhou quickly recorded it in a small notebook.

While Ye Zhizhou was recording, there was only one thought in his mind.

"Is this called 'more afraid of horror subjects'?"

"Brother Ruan's perception of himself, is there something wrong???"

"He just often screams when he is experiencing horror games, but in fact, his tolerance for horror themes is much stronger than ordinary people..."
