I make games to scare players from crying

Especially after the victory, the painful scream of being executed on the other side reminds the players all the time: If you lose, you will end up in the same way!

However, the players in the original world, because they have been baptized by various horror games, are separated from the screen.So there is not much emotional fluctuation for this kind of life and death game.

But in this world, tsk tsk.

Welcome to the charm of death!

So Meng Shu singled out "Blackjack" as the first shot in the field of VR games.

Buying the full set of "Resident Evil 7" requires 105000000 scare points, and he only has 568000 points, so he can't afford it at all.

But if you only buy one of the DLCs, it's still possible.

Meng Shu selected "Blackjack", and the required scare value was immediately displayed.

210000 fright points!

A small DLC is so expensive!

But still within the acceptable range.

Meng Shu immediately chose to buy, and the system immediately showed that his game purchase was successful.

[You have obtained the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7" and the hand-in-hand development tutorial of "Blackjack"]

[You have obtained the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7" and the conceptual design of "Blackjack"]

[You have obtained the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7", and how to make the VR version of "Blackjack"]

slam-la-

With the sound of coins colliding, his scare value finally remained at 358000 points.

The hand handling the large intestine paused slightly.

A stream of professional knowledge appeared in the brain out of thin air.

In just two breaths, he completely understood it, and it became one of his abilities.

Then, he exhaled, shook his head, and smiled.

"Sure enough, there are no such things as art resources..."

"Forget it, since the game has already been bought, then VR is also on the agenda. Recruiting people, let's start tomorrow."

As he said that, he stopped thinking about it and concentrated on handling the ingredients in his hand.

That night, when the two elders came back from overtime work, they all showed a look of astonishment when they saw a table of delicious food.

Little girl Meng's eyes widened even more, and she asked what day is today?

The two elders are honest, but they are also curious about why they cook so many dishes today.

In this regard, Meng Shu shrugged and made up an excuse, saying that she found a job and was going to work tomorrow, so tonight was a celebration and a good meal.

The honest and responsible character of his parents made them not doubt him, and they were even happy together.

Meng Xiaoyatou directly picked up the fast food and ate it up, not a lady at all.

The second elder also sat down, picked up the fast food and started to eat, chatting about trivial matters encountered at work while eating.

Meng Shu drank the water quietly, responded to the elders' questions from time to time, and silently looked at the family with raised eyes.

Mother's sallow wrinkled hands gently picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in Meng Shu's bowl.Picked up another one, dipped it in sauce, and gave it to Little Meng.

Then she picked one up for herself, and before she could dip it in the sauce, she eagerly bit down on it. It was so hot that she drank a big mouthful of drinking water.

As for the father, he picked up the sautéed sausage and chewed it with relish, his face full of enjoyment.

Meng Shu got up, took two bottles of beer from the refrigerator and handed them over.

This made my father stare straight at it, and he couldn't wait to take it, then opened the bottle and poured it up, and finally exhaled a big breath, his face was full of relief.

This is his new family, an ordinary and hard-working little family.

He didn't tell them that he had made tens of millions because he didn't think it was the right time.

The money has been earned, but it has not yet arrived.

Moreover, the money should be invested in the development of the company, so it cannot be touched randomly.

He planned to wait for the company to operate stably and have enough money to buy a house directly, and then tell them the good news.

In Meng Shu's view, instead of telling them in advance, let them look forward to it, looking forward to the sky and the earth.

It is better to tell them the day, and the whole family will step into a new life, saving the hard hope and anticipation.

The two elders are used to hard times, and they are family members, so there is no need to pretend to be aggressive in front of them.

Therefore, Meng Shu chose to hide it temporarily.

……

The next day, he came to the company.

Looking at the huge "Only Game" LED signboard at the front desk, he smiled.

Then he walked in and came to his own independent office.

Office supplies and work computers are already in place.

From now on, he will be developing games here, not at home.

Although Xiao Meng is still wearing a plaster cast, she can move around freely at home and does not need someone to look after her.

And Meng Shu also made it clear that if there is something urgent, call.

After finishing everything, he came to the company and started recruiting online.

The system gave him conceptual design drafts, so these drafts need to be made into art resources.

So first of all, 3D modelers are indispensable, so let's recruit one for now.

Then there is the scene designer, and one is recruited first.

Then there is the animator in charge of motion capture, whose main job is to adjust the body movements and facial expressions of game characters.

Other original artists and special effects artists are not needed for the time being, and the system can replace them.

Then there is the program, which is not needed for the time being. He can do it by himself. He will recruit people later when the real VR game is made. Now that time is urgent, he will take it first.

Planning is not required either.

Then there is finance, which is very necessary, an absolute position in a company.

"Let's do this for the time being. The most urgent thing is to get out the art resources first, and everything else is easy to talk about."

After planning, Meng Shu announced the recruitment.

During the waiting period, he contacted Unlimited Online Entertainment again.

As one of the leading companies in China, and they also have experience in developing games, they must have motion capture equipment, or recommend it.

Sure enough, after the inquiry, the other party said that he could help with the purchase, and it must be professional equipment with the best effect and high quality.

This saved him a lot of time.

After completing these tasks, he began to continue the development of the final chapter of the Dark Forest.

Compared with the previous two chapters, this chapter is not big. He has done it intermittently a few days ago, and he has already made 70% of the progress.

It takes three to four days at most to complete.

When EA is over and the official version is released, sales should also increase a lot.

It will be of great help to the future VR game plan!

Chapter 19 Crew in place, production begins

Recruitment work is in progress.

Now it is the beginning of May, and there are still a lot of people looking for jobs online.

With the wide popularity of "Dark Forest", Meng Shu received a large number of resumes and inquiries in just three days.

As a result, he had to temporarily abandon the final chapter he was developing and start screening these resumes.

Some of them even took the initiative to call him to make an appointment for an interview.

But soon, after screening, he selected some more suitable job applicants and sent them a notice.

It turned out that there were still some people in this group who faked their resumes and boasted too much.

For example, a 28-year-old man said that he has nearly 6 years of work experience, and his portfolio looks quite good.

But the on-site practice was delayed. He couldn't even draw the simplest pictures well, and the perspective relationship was wrong. I don't know if it was because of the pressure of the practice. Anyway, he was not admitted.

For example, a 23-year-old girl who has been working in 21 years will have 22 years of work experience in 3 years?

After asking, I realized that the customer service work that was not suitable for the university internship period was also included.

What's more, he asked for a lot of money, and the monthly salary was 2.5 W. He seemed very capable. When he asked the reason for leaving, he quarreled with the supervisor...

There are also complaints that Party A raises demands without knowing the fart, and then leaves in displeasure.

In short, the reasons are varied.

Although the art positions he recruits are based on professional skills, it does not mean that he will recruit people who leave easily and are not easy to get along with.

So a large number of job applicants were screened again.

But fortunately, after about a week, Meng Shu still recruited the right person.

3D modeler, Qiu Yuan, male, 28 years old.

With 6 years of work experience, the first 2 years worked in an e-commerce company.Therefore, part of the works are various products, and in the next 4 years, I focused on modeling game characters. I have had character images such as ancient, sci-fi, and mechanical, and the design is almost the same as the original painting. The technology can be said to be quite powerful!

The scene designer, Xia Nianzhen, female, 24 years old.

2 years of work experience. Immediately after graduating from university, he worked in a mobile game company and improved his level. He has never skipped the trough. He is very proficient in using various software, and his works have various styles.

However, due to the problem of mobile games, although the quality is not high, it can be seen that there is still a certain level, but the platform limits her.

Animator Xu Hong, male, 29 years old.

With 6 years of work experience, he is very good at correcting body movements and facial expressions produced by motion capture equipment. He once worked in a well-known domestic game company and participated in action guidance. With experience in this area, the well-known RPG game "Magic Knight" a few years ago "The first BOSS Colossus Patronus is an action designed by him, which brings players a good fighting experience.

Finally, there is the financial sister Mei, 39 years old, with rich experience, there is nothing to say about this.

Due to the small size of the company and the tight schedule, these four people are the only ones to be recruited at present, and the others are not needed for the time being.

When this matter was completed, Meng Shu directly removed the job advertisement.

Now, three weeks before a month, he has to start VR game development immediately!

So, he called the three new employees together for a simple meeting, described some processes of the VR game, and assigned their respective tasks.

At this time, Meng Shu was sitting at the head of the small conference room, using a laptop to explain the concept design PPT of "Blackjack".

"First of all, our game scene is not big. It is almost a small black room. You can refer to our meeting room. We don't need other extra items to pile up. As long as it is consistent with the concept scene on the PPT, can you understand? Nian Zhen?"

Meng Shu raised his head and looked at Xia Nianzhen.

This girl who was the same age as him was concentrating on taking notes at this time. She looked very quiet and elegant with black long straight round eyes. After hearing the question, she froze for a moment and immediately nodded in response.

"I understand, the PPT is already very clear, Mr. Meng, I can do it, and I will try my best to restore it!"

Meng Shu nodded and turned to the next page to continue explaining.

"Qiu Yuan, your workload is relatively heavy. This is a VR game, and there are many items and props in it. Except that the protagonist controlled by the player only needs to have one pair of hands, all other necessary things will be available, so you will have a harder time later. .”

Qiu Yuan nodded seriously when he heard this.

At the age of 28, he is no longer the same as when he first came out of society. Working overtime is commonplace for his industry, and he has no objections for a long time.

And the moment he saw the PPT, he knew what he should do.

At the same time, I have to admire the boss who is 4 years younger than him.Only one person actually made this concept design of more than a hundred pages.

It also includes character image design, scene design, plot design, gameplay design, style design, prop design and multi-angle display of items, etc.

Sure enough, he deserves to be the person who can make "Dark Forest"!

Simply one person is a team!

"Don't worry, Mr. Meng, it may be a little too much, but it's not difficult. There is already a concept design in front of me, and I will make it."
