Netherworld Game Producer

Zhang Chunsheng successfully became the leader of the escape production team, and the whole process was quite dreamy for him.

Originally, he wanted to reject Li Wen's proposal. After all, he felt that he was simply incapable of being a team leader, but after seeing Li Wen's trusting eyes, he swallowed the rejection.

After the celebratory banquet, the Escape production team held a meeting to discuss...

Well, actually everyone in the company attended the meeting.

However, the host of this meeting was no longer Li Wen, but Zhang Chunsheng.

In the past two weeks, he has carefully read the escape plan, and not only that, he has brought his understanding of the game to the meeting.

The meeting went very smoothly, everyone was assigned a job, and it was very fulfilling.

Among them, even Li Wen has a job.

Although he is the boss and a game producer, the company is really short of people, so he can only do his old job...

But also because he is the boss, so he is responsible for the least part of everyone.

After all, he still needs to control the overall direction of the game, but the workload is also huge.

Game producers, like film directors, are the ones who grasp the direction of the entire game.

Just like a director, every movie has its own style in it, and the same goes for games.

Li Wen's understanding of escape is very simple. Pure terror, extreme terror, must make players afraid!

Therefore, he pays great attention to every detail of the game.

And because the game is for the whole world, the horror in all games must be popularized, the kind that makes players all over the world fear.

This is quite difficult.

The eleven people involved in the production have a very heavy workload.

And the most important point is that the game should be completed in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Now is July in the solar calendar, and there is almost a month left until the seventh and a half months of the lunar calendar.

So there is not much time left for them.

Not only must the game be done well, but also in such a short period of time, every employee is under a lot of pressure.

However, there is an old saying that is very good, the brave who meet in a narrow path wins! Only in adversity can people grow.

Overtime has become a common occurrence in Happy Paradise.

I work overtime until midnight almost every day, after all, such a huge workload...

However, no one complained during this period, because Li Wen also worked overtime until midnight like them.

Moreover, because it was not very convenient for him to communicate in the office before, he directly moved his equipment to work with everyone outside.

Although the employees who entered the company this time include Lao Zhang with low emotional intelligence, Xiao Li with social phobia, and Xiao Huang who is talkative...

But in the process of making games while communicating with everyone, the bond gradually deepened.

In addition, after Li Wen's sledgehammer made money, he also took a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and often bought rich takeaways for the employees who worked overtime.

His actions were appreciated and recognized by all employees.

After all, in this era, such a conscientious boss is really rare.

Other bosses are thinking about how to better exploit their employees, and they have come up with some bizarre ways to do this, such as making overtime employees pay for electricity, internet, etc...

Not only would he not do such an immoral thing, but he would also work overtime with the employees until midnight, and regularly return meals to the employees. Such a boss is really... the employees cry to death.

After getting acquainted with the employees, everyone began to speak freely, and they could say anything about the game.

If Li Wen thinks it's a great idea, 70% of the production team members agree to join the game.

If he thinks the idea is not good, he will try to convince the other party, and of course, he will let the production team members vote. If 70% of the employees agree, he will also join the game.

However, those ideas that are too outrageous will not be adopted at all.

some kind of prank or something...

Escape is a pure horror game.

Making the game the purest horror game is the only way out.

At a previous meeting, Zhang Chunsheng and Li Wen had some disagreements.

Zhang Chunsheng felt that if the game was too scary, there would not be too many players playing. Some horror elements should be moderately reduced and elements that would make players relaxed, such as combat.

Li Wen also understands Zhang Chunsheng very well, but! He directly rejected Zhang Chunsheng's proposal, and expressed all his views.

It is quite normal for Zhang Chunsheng to have such an idea. Adding some counterattack combat elements can greatly reduce the horror atmosphere of the game, and at the same time, it can be expanded to more players.

For example, some players who want to play, but because the game is too scary, have little courage.

But doing so will turn the game into a different style... from a horror game to a survival horror game.

For survival horror games, there are more themes to choose from.

By the way, let me mention it first, there is no such thing as zombies in this world.

Horror movies are almost always ghosts, ghosts and the like, which exist in forms that humans cannot understand.

In those more famous horror games, the protagonists are generally some very well-known characters in the gods and ghosts, or special human beings with extraordinary talents.

So, if you really want to do a survival horror game, wouldn't it be better if the theme is changed to Resident Evil.

It's not that he doesn't want to do Resident Evil, it's just that he doesn't have that much financial support right now.

The plot of a game like Resident Evil is very important, so a lot of motion capture needs to be done to complement the physical expressions of the characters, etc. This cost is not a small amount.

After Li Wen patiently analyzed the market and the benefits of escape pure horror games, Zhang Chunsheng finally did not continue to mention the idea of ​​joining the battle system.

Well, in the final analysis, the company doesn't have much money now, and the budget is only able to make escape games without a combat system, and it will be finished if caught by monsters.

The battle system sounds like only four words, but it requires huge database support, the workload will be doubled, and the investment will be doubled.

Not worth the loss.

The original escape game sold very well in the world before Li Wen. The reason is actually very simple, that is, because of the extreme horror of the game.

The most terrifying thing is that game characters cannot fight back against enemy units that attack them.

An old man once said that if you take away the gun of the protagonist of the shootout game Call of Duty, and the protagonist is not allowed to fight back, a refreshing shootout game can instantly become a horror game.

Come to think of it, it does.

Therefore, the main source of fear for escaping is not the dark environment, but the terrifying events dug up little by little with the protagonist.

The biggest source of fear is actually the setting of not being able to fight back.

In the dark, the player has no idea where the deadly psychopath is hiding...

Once discovered by the mentally ill, there is only one consequence...

It is this extreme fear that makes Escape sell so many copies.

Therefore, Li Wen felt that in the game of escape, perfecting the intelligent AI of monsters was more important than anything else.

Moreover, the monsters must be designed to be even crazier, more extreme, and more terrifying than the original.

Now, all the pressure is on Li Xin.

Although the workload is heavy, it is the happiest day she has ever had since school.

She has gradually regarded the members of the company as her own family.

She didn't dare to speak at first, but now she can say a simple greeting from time to time, and she has made a lot of efforts for this.

After her social phobia was known by her colleagues, not only was she not regarded as a freak, but she encouraged her in various ways, making her feel as warm as home.

Often social phobia will be considered by many people to be fussing and hypocritical.

But is it really so?

It's a disease, a mental illness that's simply out of the patient's control, and the patient also wants to communicate with other people, but simply can't.

Li Xin's luck is very good, she met a group of lovely and friendly people, and her symptoms have begun to gradually ease.

Although she is trying to draw the prototype of the terrifying monster every day, her heart is brighter and happier every day.

...

It's August today, and the temperature has reached a new high. Everyone must pay attention to heatstroke prevention.

After Li Wen entered the company, he was very satisfied when he saw everyone who had started working.

I yawned. Last night, Chen Rui, this little girl, didn't know what was going on, she was babbling.

When I asked her, she didn't explain the situation, but just kept telling Li Wen to leave her alone.

Well, Li Wen really didn't plan to care about her, just took a shower and was ready to go to sleep.

But what this girl did didn't make him stop at all.

He even put on pajamas (usually, he would wear pajamas, unless he was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner.) The little girl ran into his room, sat on his bed, and didn't leave.

He was very helpless. He was going to force the little girl away from his bedroom with force. After a fierce battle, the little girl finally told the reason why she was crazy.

Since the establishment of the escape production team, Chen Rui found that she seemed to be a marginal person, unable to help anything, and she was the most idle person in the company.

She usually helps everyone with coffee, etc. She hates this feeling, and she wants to be busy.

However, she didn't know anything, so she was very annoying. She hoped that Li Wen would help her solve it.

Li Wen is very speechless, he is not some kind of Tinkerbell, he has no universal pocket! ! !

So, love can't help.

However, he gave Chen Rui a suggestion, try to lie down in a place where no one can see when he has nothing to do, otherwise it will affect his mood.

Chen Rui was very dissatisfied with his suggestion...

Forgive him, he is too busy right now, so he has no time to take care of Chen Rui.

He was a little lacking in sleep, and with Chen Rui's commotion last night, he looked even less energetic.

Suddenly, he seemed to see a stranger, a sweet-looking girl who was sitting in the rest area smiling sweetly at him.

Some of them look familiar, but I can't remember who they are.

Excuse me?

The girl's sweet smile suddenly froze, and she suddenly became very embarrassed... That's right! It was Xiao Tian herself.
