The basics of game design, from getting started to entering the grave

Chapter 22 Master Jiang's busy and paddling day

Tiancheng didn't wake up, and sat heavily on the chair again.

Hao Zhuang ran over to support her, and gently put her upper body on the table to lie down.

"Since there are no other questions, let's come here first." Hao Zhuang announced the end of the meeting.

After speaking, he squatted down, his eyes stayed on Tiancheng, and he didn't turn away.

Jiang Qiuqi followed the flow of people out of the meeting room, and looked back worriedly.

The next second, she felt a pain in her forehead.

The person in front of him is Yin Qiang.

Obviously she was also looking in the direction of Hao Zhuang and Tian Cheng.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Qiuqi shook his head and walked sideways past her.

Why is this Yin Qiang so weird?Jiang Qiuqi sighed, why are the people in the team full of stories?

She had just returned to her seat when Yin Qiang chased after her.

"You are the new planning intern, right? Please drink milk tea!"

As she spoke, she turned on the phone and placed it in front of Jiang Qiuqi.

Jiang Qiuqi was a little hesitant. It wasn't the first day she came to the project team. This young lady came earlier and only got close to her now. Would the purpose be too obvious?

"My name is Yin Qiang, and I'm a copywriting planner. I've worked with Boss Hao for three years before, and he's always been my guide."

"Oh."

Jiang Qiuqi pushed her phone back. "I've lost weight recently, and I don't really want to drink milk tea, thank you."

Tell her this, do you want her to tell Tiancheng?

She is tired and tired.The affairs of Hao Zhuang and Tian Cheng were already very annoying, but recently Chu Jukun was picking things up everywhere.

Fortunately, Hao Zhuang still has the romantic debt from his previous life.

Eating too much melon will make your stomach swell, okay?

"Then drink coffee?" Yin Qiang insisted.

"No thanks, I'm going to work."

She took out the headphones from the drawer and put them directly on her head.

Yin Qiang was completely rejected, obviously embarrassed.

"Yin Qiang? I just wanted to discuss the plot design with you."

Wang Shuo shook the water off his hand, sat down and opened the document.

"Come on, I'm ready to be baptized by a cultural person."

His appearance relieved the embarrassment in time.Yin Qiang was also professional, and immediately discussed with Wang Shuo.

She was still standing between the seats of Wang Shuo and Jiang Qiuqi, Jiang Qiuqi couldn't concentrate on it, and peeked at them from time to time.

Tiancheng sent a message: Hao Zhuang said that he would send the plan to the boss this week at the latest, please allow time for the boss.

Jiang Qiuqi was speechless for a while, and Hao Zhuang said this in the first sentence during the meeting.How did Tiancheng fall asleep right after the meeting?
It seemed that she was going to work overtime again on the weekend, so she sat up straight and forced herself to work.

Master said before that we should focus on analyzing a certain part.

She opened the webpage and looked at other people's research reports to find ideas.

In a full-page search, eight out of ten are business design analysis.

The game is so fun, and there are so many directions to study, no matter what you want to make money!Jiang Qiuqi felt sorry.

She completely forgot that a large part of the reason she wanted to start a game company was to make money.

After browsing for a while, she thought of the process mentioned during the meeting.

At that time, Chu Jukun mentioned some shortcomings, so can we find some inspiration for optimization from "Seven-Day Cycle"?

She opened the game, created a new account, and began to experience it.

The beginning of "Seven-Day Cycle" is a plot dialogue, explaining the world view and player identity; then the core characters will lead into important battles.After the battle, it's the plot again.

The guide is over and enter the main scene.

What's different.

Jiang Qiuqi stopped, thinking about the video of the white model at the meeting.

In "Seven-Day Cycle", the big "6 days left" countdown at the end of each day, coupled with the change of light and darkness after each task, always brings a strong sense of urgency.

In addition, when you enter the game, you know that every decision you make will affect the changes in the world, so you will be very cautious in making decisions.

Because of this, I care more about the development of the small plot and the big world after the choice.

Yes, a sense of urgency!Sense of crisis!Just those two words.

If it was just a simple cycle, she would not feel that those tasks must be completed at all.

These are missing from our white mold.

However, the master is very scheming, how could he miss such a crucial experience link?Jiang Qiuqi was a little puzzled.

She took off the earphones and wanted to communicate with Wang Shuo, only to find that Yin Qiang hadn't left yet.

"I understand what you mean. You want to create suspense for players from the perspective of characters and worldview."

Wang Shuo typed while talking.

"Yes, I think your plan lacks a lot of tension, which makes it easy for people to abandon the game."

Jiang Qiuqi was startled.Isn't this what she just wanted to say to Wang Shuo?
Wang Shuo turned his head to see her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uh...it's nothing, I just think what Yin Qiang said makes sense.

Master, I just wanted to tell you that when I was studying "The Seven-Day Cycle", I wanted to start with how to create a sense of crisis. "

"No problem, this direction is good, and the research in place can also provide us with good optimization ideas for the project."

Wang Shuo agreed.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This is Yin Qiang, the copywriting planner. She has very good copywriting skills. She is good at world view building and main story design. You can communicate with her more when you have time."

"……OK, all right."

Jiang Qiuqi's scalp was numb. It seemed that Wang Shuo hadn't noticed the weird relationship between Hao Zhuang and Tiancheng, nor the strange atmosphere between her and Yin Qiang.

It seems that it's not that Master doesn't like gossip, but that he doesn't care about other people at all.

"It's almost the same as what I want to say, thank you brother Wang for continuing to optimize."

Yin Qiang stood up straight with the table top propped up, his hair curled back, and he spoke to Jiang Qiuqi.

"This new kid, do you want to go downstairs for a walk together?"

Jiang Qiuqi looked at Wang Shuo, trying to hint through his eyes that Wang Shuo should keep her.

"Go." Wang Shuo didn't understand her winking.

"It's a good thing for you young people to communicate more. The ratio of men to women in our group planning is a bit out of balance. Qiu Qi, you will be happier if you can find a compatible job."

Wang Shuo's expression was a bit lonely, as if recalling the unhappy times in the past.

His last company was a female-oriented game, and the gender ratio of the staff should be more female than male.

Being a teacher for a day and a father for life, he has already started to worry about Jiang Qiuqi's interpersonal relationship.

She retracted the above thoughts, at least Master still cared about her.

"Good master."

Jiang Qiuqi couldn't refuse anymore, so he followed Yin Qiang downstairs.

It's almost lunch break time, those who work easily have already taken a break early, sitting in a convenience store to eat.

Jiang Qiuqi glanced at the glass window inadvertently.

This fried noodles looks delicious.She swallowed.

"Are you a relative of Secretary Tian?"

Yin Qiang was silent all the way, and only now spoke.

"Huh? Oh, yes. She's my cousin."

Jiang Qiuqi reluctantly bid farewell to the fried noodles in other people's bowls.

"Hao Zhuang is very close to her?" She asked lightly.

Sure enough, it was for Tiancheng.

"I don't know, they're just cousins. The two of us usually only see each other during Chinese New Year. Our relationship is average."

Jiang Qiuqi was talking nonsense.

"The general relationship allows you to join the company as an intern?" Yin Qiang felt that his IQ was insulted.

"That's why my parents insisted that I come. They said that if you experience the workplace, you won't refuse to inherit the family business."

Jiang Qiuqi pretended to be helpless and sighed heavily.

Yin Qiang was shocked by her Versailles remarks, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Why did you choose to make games?" Jiang Qiuqi changed the topic by turning to the guest.

"Why? Because I don't have the money to start a company, and my family can't support me in choosing a career I love.

Fortunately, he is naturally sensitive to words, so he can be a game planner and make a living. "

Jiang Qiuqi couldn't tell if she was mocking for a while.

"You said before that you and Hao Zhuang have known each other for 3 years, so you are very familiar?"

"Familiar, we used to hang out together on weekends. But don't get me wrong, we are just colleagues."

Jiang Qiuqi sniffed it hard, why does it smell like tea?
"It's also very lucky to meet such a good colleague and take you to change jobs together."

Jiang Qiuqi followed her words and tried to remember what her salary was.

"He may be my nobleman."

There was a bit of disappointment in Yin Qiang's tone.Her eyes were lowered, as if she couldn't ask for it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to provoke trouble."

Jiang Qiuqi couldn't see through it, she was just playing prestige, and started to sell miserably?

"I just see Hao Zhuang taking good care of others, and I feel a little uncomfortable. He never said anything ambiguous to me, don't worry about that."

Is this copywriting planning?Turning around, I still want to imply that she has a seemingly nothing relationship with Hao Zhuang.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't tell my cousin that we don't know each other well."

Jiang Qiuqi followed her words and pretended to be innocent.

"I'm hungry, let's go first."

She left Yin Qiang and went upstairs alone.

Tiancheng sent another message: Boss, lunch is ready, where are we going to eat today?

Jiang Qiuqi suddenly had a new idea.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry."

The elevator door was about to close, so she hurriedly pressed the door button and ran out of the elevator cabin.

The elevator went back and forth several times, and she finally waited for Yin Qiang.

Yin Qiang was a little surprised to see her: "Wait for me?"

"No, there are too many people during the afternoon rush hour, so we have to wait for a long time."

The crowd in the car came out, and the two walked in side by side.

There was silence in the air.

"Ding dong~ The 12th floor is here!"

The moment the door was opened, Jiang Qiuqi accurately found Tiancheng behind the crowd, and ran to hug her.

"Cousin, you are so kind! I'm starving to death, what's for lunch?"

Tiancheng didn't react, and replied blankly: "Baked wings with tea fragrance, steamed tea bowls, and Longjing crisps."

Today's dishes are very connotative.Jiang Qiuqi suppressed a smile.

She took Tiancheng's arm. "Then let's go, I like to have lunch with you in your office!"

Yin Qiang, who was behind him, turned pale when he heard the dishes, and looked relaxed when he saw them leaving talking and laughing.

She just wanted Tiancheng to know her existence, and she wouldn't be happy if Jiang Qiuqi didn't tell her.

In the office, Jiang Qiuqi leaned on the boss chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Tiancheng opened all the food and placed them neatly in front of her.

"Mr. Jiang, don't you want to eat?"

It's all annoying, how can I eat it!
She raised her hand to rub her temples, and replied softly, "Eat later."

Her tone was full of exhaustion, Tian Cheng didn't ask any further questions, and quietly exited, closing the door.

Originally, she thought that Tiancheng and Hao Zhuang were just an office romance at best.She had a good impression of Hao Zhuang.

Yin Qiang's sudden provocation made her somewhat uneasy.

Or... She should not tell Tiancheng yet, and let them develop by themselves?After all, she was not sure how much Yin Qiang's words were true or not.

What's more, Tiancheng also promised before that if Hao Zhuang is not suitable, she will never fall in love.

There's planning to do, and occasional boss duties, and now and then she has to tell a lie.It is not enough to allocate energy.

She picked up the chopsticks, barely stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice, and continued to sleep in the chair.

In the office, the temperature of the air conditioner was just right, Tiancheng came in at some point and covered her with a small quilt.

The powerful sound-proof windows and doors successfully allowed Jiang Qiuqi to sleep until five o'clock in the afternoon.

When she opened her eyes and saw the sun hiding halfway up the opposite building, she thought she had passed through.

The hour hand has pointed to five o'clock.

She stood up in fright.

On the corporate WeChat, there were three messages from Wang Shuo, asking her where she had been.

There is a message from Tiancheng on WeChat: mute your phone, go to sleep.Big dark circles, it hurts to see it.

Jiang Qiuqi sat back on the chair again.

Tian Cheng was right, she was so tense these two days that she was almost exhausted, if she didn't rest, the company might lose her boss.

She decided to give herself an afternoon off.

In the work area, Wang Shuo, Hao Zhuang, and Chu Jukun checked the process modification plan again, and Jiang Qiuqi still didn't show up.

He opened the corporate WeChat and received a message from her.

Jiang Qiuqi: Master, I'm not feeling well. I may have suffered from heat stroke. Please take a leave this afternoon.

Wang Shuo changed from worrying about her personal safety to worrying about her body.

"Is there any medicine? Did you go to the hospital?"

The message keeps showing as unread.

Wang Shuo wanted to explain to her the new task tomorrow, but thinking about it, she might not be able to come, so he simply deleted it.

Jiang Qiuqi was still in the office.

After replying to the message, my stomach began to protest.She reluctantly ate two Longjing crisps, but felt dizzy again and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was pitch black in the office.

Jiang Qiuqi looked out the window, and the stars were already hanging in the night sky.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Hao Zhuang and the others should be off work too, right?

She approached the door and quietly opened a crack.

"Di~Didi~" is the sound of password lock input.

"Ah—it hurts!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Qiuqi was defenseless, and fell to the ground clutching his forehead.

"Mr. Jiang?! You haven't gone back yet?!" Tian Cheng was also frightened, and hurriedly helped her up.

"Are you okay? Let me see."

Fortunately, Tiancheng didn't have much strength, she just turned red and had no wounds.

"Of course I didn't leave. I didn't show up all afternoon. It's too embarrassing to go out of the office now. Are they all off work?" Jiang Qiuqi regained his strength.

"Basically let's go. I just passed by and didn't see anyone." Tian Cheng tilted her head and thought for a while before answering.

"Okay, let's go home." She didn't go back to the station to get her bag, and went straight to the elevator.

"Hey, wait!"

When the elevator arrived, Jiang Qiuqi got in and waited for Tiancheng.A tall and thin figure appeared.

"..."

"..."

Another sentence.The two looked at each other, not knowing whether to say hello or not.

"Mr. Jiang, you are really good. The phone is still on the table. If it wasn't for me, you would cry..."

Tiancheng muttered all the way, and when she got into the elevator, she saw someone else.

She rolled her eyes a few times, and put the phone to her ear pretendingly.

"Mr. Jiang, let's talk about the investment details tomorrow, OK?" She turned to Jiang Qiuqi. "Cousin, let's have dinner together?"

"Huh?...Oh, yes, yes, cousin."

Jiang Qiuqi followed suit.

She peeked at Ju Dian from the mirror.He stood in front of him and didn't respond.

The elevator finally reached the first floor, Jiang Qiuqi and Tian Cheng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Seeing Ju Dian walk out of the elevator, he suddenly turned around.

Jiang Qiuqi choked for breath, did he find out?
　How much I wish someone would find out if I was 4 minutes late (crying)
