Otherworldly Architect

In the end, it was stated that Varian's wife had invited him in.

She felt that in any case, it was very sincere to visit in person, and guests should not be turned away.

Mingyan and Varian sat down in the living room and talked face to face for half an hour.

Mingyan is a straight-forward person, and immediately said: "I hope to hire you as the art designer of Blue Star Studio, responsible for the art work of our next game project."

After hearing this, Varian twitched his beard and said, "I'm not the only artist in your studio, am I?"

Mingyan said: "Actually, I am the only one in Blue Star Studio so far."

Varian: "..."

He said clearly: "I have only launched one successful independent game."

Varian looked up at the ceiling, took a deep breath, and was about to freak out.

Suddenly, his wife came out of the kitchen, holding two cups of hot water, and said with a smile, "Sorry, there is only hot water at home now."

Varian sat upright for a second, raised his hand and said, "Please continue."

After a while, his wife left the living room again, not wanting to disturb their conversation.

Varian slumped down for a second, and fell limply on the chair like a slug, and said weakly: "You are the only one who dares to come to lobby for my dry goods with such poor capital..."

Mingyan smiled slightly and said, "I haven't finished yet. Before making a decision, I hope you have a comprehensive understanding of Blue Star Studio."

Before he finished speaking, Varian said desperately: "Please don't talk about ideals with me—my ideal is to eat and not work! Don't tell me about the future of the game industry in the Sixth Star Province—" —It has nothing to do with me! Don’t talk to me about future profits and share——Seven or eight years from now, a small studio like yours will probably go bankrupt long ago!”

Triad of despair.

The corner of Mingyan's mouth twitched: "It sounds like your experience in the past few years is very sympathetic."

"Hehehe..." Varian let out a miserable laugh, covering his face with his hands.

Mingyan took out two contracts from his bag, put them on the table, and handed them to Varian.

"I'm not here to talk about ideals." Ming Yan said.

Well, his ideal is a rainbow fart, but it's hard to say...

He said clearly: "Let's talk about money first. I have prepared two contracts here, one is a labor contract and the other is a labor contract. For the former, I will order from you my contract with a 20% increase in the market price." Requirement list; if the latter, you will become a member of Blue Star Studio, and your annual salary will be increased by 10% compared to your previous salary - this can be discussed further. In addition, after the project goes online, there will be 10% of the profits that will be directly used as Bonuses for developers, distributed according to performance."

Straightforward, without procrastination.

Varian's waist straightened suddenly, and his eyeballs suddenly widened.

He picked up the two documents on the table and fell into deep thought.

Then he said clearly: "Then let's talk about this project."

He explained to Varian the next game he was going to make, and Varian kept nodding.

Varian had worked for a well-known outsourcing company in the past few years, and a large part of his work was for game companies, so he also knew about this aspect.

Mingyan also talked about the job requirements of the position of art designer in Blue Star Studio. Simply speaking, it is: do everything.

The only candidates for the next project are the two of them.

To put it bluntly, architect + programmer + sound engineer + tester + technical artist.

Varian, art designer + UI interface + tester.

Varian slumped back in his chair after hearing this.

After a while, he said: "With all due respect, I don't see the future of this project, nor the future of Blue Star Studio... I can't accept this job just because the annual salary looks good! Once it's half done, you...ah no, your capital chain is broken, and you leave me there, what should I do?"

He spoke very honestly, expressing that he thought it was no wonder that he would have conflicts with the previous company executives... The kind of leader who would withhold employee stock options is probably no bigger than the tip of a needle.

Mingyan thought for a while and said, "Minecraft produced by Blue Star, please be sure to check it out."

When Varian heard it, he said, "A new game? I don't play games much."

Mingyan smiled slightly and said, "You can learn more about it and experience it. Then it's not too late to make a decision."

Varian was dubious and didn't speak.

Having said all the things that should be said, and clearly saying that he is not a procrastination person, he left on the spot.

After he left, Varian's wife walked back into the living room.

Varian consulted with her.

As a result, as soon as I heard the words "Minecraft", my wife exploded: "Oh my God! He is the genius producer of "Minecraft"! You don't even know about the game I play every night." name!"

Varian: "..."

The next day he lived a miserable life.

Watching the news, my wife brushed the media next to the media: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When I went to the toilet, my wife brainwashed me outside: "Husband, that architect is so talented and he is so optimistic about you. I think I have a chance to give it a try. If you can make a game as good as "Minecraft" together , wouldn’t that mean success and fame?”

Varian was overwhelmed and hid in the kitchen to cook.

The wife came in to cut vegetables: "Val, I'm serious, our family can't afford vegetables, why don't you just find a job first? Today's job with an annual salary of 50 yuan looks very attractive..."

Varian said desperately: "Okay, let me think about it, let's play that game first."

His wife happily followed him into the game room at home, and while she was graciously putting on glasses for him, she babbled: "Great, you are finally willing to play with me. I still need a set of diamonds at home, and you can find two more sheep by the way." Come on, I've already built half of the sheep farm, so hurry up and explore the map..."

six hours later.

Varian's wife: "Old Wa! Stop playing! It's time for dinner!!!"

Varian: "Come right now!"

……

Another six hours later.

Varian's wife: "Old Wa! Your waist will be broken if you sit still! Go to bed soon!"

Varian: "Wait another minute! I'll feed the sheep first!"

Wife: "Okay!"

Varian: "Wait, I'm going to build an automatic sheep feeding device so they can breed automatically at night..."

Wife: "Then hurry up!"

……

Another eight hours later.

Wife: "Old Wa, you're going to die, you haven't slept all night, have you?"

Varian pulled her over excitedly: "Look, my wife! I created a redstone circuit by myself. Turn on this switch to start feeding the sheep automatically; turn on this switch to automatically shear the wool, and the wool will fall into the funnel and convey To this big box..."

wife:"……"

She poked Varian silently in the waist.

Varian: "Hey, hey, my waist, waist, waist is broken! Wife save me!"

……

at the same time.

Mingyan went back to school to receive his graduation certificate and degree certificate.

Now he has become a big celebrity in the school, and he can be recognized by passers-by while walking on the road.

"Senior! Senior!" Several chattering students stopped him, "You are a big boss! Can you sign us?"

Mingyan had no choice but to sign them, and added: Let's encourage each other.

A junior said: "Senior, you are my idol! I will always strive for your goal! Who said that students can't make good games? You are the best example!"

The other asked: "Senior, I heard that you got full marks in all subjects during school, and even the teacher dared not control you. Is it true?"

"No, this is too exaggerated." Mingyan couldn't laugh or cry.

At that time, in order to learn language and social knowledge, he often couldn't attend classes on time. Later, he made up a lot of things in his sophomore year, and his grades slowly caught up.

Moreover, in order to make "Minecraft", he actually skipped a lot of professional courses...

Thinking of this, he said in a serious manner: "In class, you should pay more attention to the key knowledge, and after class, you should practice more. There is no shortcut to learning."

The juniors nodded in admiration, and then made it clear that they had to leave quickly.

When I arrived at the office, there were not many people inside, but several familiar teachers were there.

They looked at Mingyan with incomparable satisfaction in their eyes, feeling as if they wished they could take them home and become godsons.

The dean heard the words and came back to receive the certificate, and even came to the office to see him, and gave him a few words of praise.

Mingyan was naturally modest, and took the opportunity to ask: "Teachers, I've been considering a new game project recently, but I still lack some resources. Do you have any recommended engine, or accessory library for game development? "

Several teachers discussed it and said, "Teacher Zhou happens to be doing research in this area, and his laboratory has just produced phased results. If you are interested, you can ask him for this industry knowledge."

Mingyan was a little surprised.

In Teacher Zhou's research room, a student was sitting with his back to the door.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately shrunk the game interface, adjusted to the paper interface, and then turned his head nervously.

But Mingyan still saw the small icon of "Minecraft" on the taskbar, and couldn't help laughing: "Student, is Teacher Zhou there?"

The student breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Teacher Zhou is in the inner room."

Mingyan saw Teacher Zhou again, who looked much more uncomfortable.

After learning about the situation, Teacher Zhou returned to his familiar serious face and said: "VR game engine and accessories, our school does have a project that has been developed in cooperation with enterprises for many years, called the 'Xingyue' engine. It is more suitable for map comparison Small games with frequent action and special effects. Now this engine has just been launched, non-commercial use is free, and commercial use can be bought out or divided into works, I suggest you use the free version to understand the operation first.”

"OK." Ming Yan said bluntly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

After finishing the business, Mr. Zhou's expression was a little awkward. After thinking about it, he forcibly changed the subject and said, "Come to get your graduation certificate today?"

Clearly said: "Yes."

Teacher Zhou held back for a long time, his face was a little red, and suddenly he said: "I played your game again, and it's not bad. The score I gave before was a little...a little bit low."

Ming Yan was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Teacher Zhou turned his face away, and muttered again: "Don't get me wrong, the main reason is that my son likes it, and I can't play with young people anyway."
