Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 165 Background Music (1500 monthly ticket plus)
"Being a traitor?"

This vocabulary is very unfamiliar to both of them, but they know what it means.

After the Omnic Crisis, a coalition government was established all over the world. Although there are still contradictions and barriers between different races and ethnic groups, at least on the surface, there are no national differences, and there is no so-called national hatred. .

Those hatreds that once existed in history may gradually disappear with the death of a generation, but they will always be remembered by history.

This feeling is a bit like Zhong Ming's previous life reading Yue Fei's "Aspiration to eat Hulu meat hungry, laughing and talking about thirsting for Xiongnu blood", it is a bit far away, it is difficult to achieve absolute empathy, but there is no understanding obstacle.

They all know what it means to be a traitor.

It is to serve the enemy and harm one's own compatriots.

"So, this game..." Jiang Wanna was a little confused.

Zhong Ming nodded: "That's right, the protagonist of this game is going to be an undercover agent. Or a spy, an underground worker, or something similar."

"emmmm..."

Both Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna's first reactions were a little uncertain.

I'm not sure if such a text adventure game has a head.

In fact, for them, hearing this topic is probably equivalent to the feeling that people in Zhong Ming's previous life heard that under the background of Yue Fei's resistance to the gold, there was an unknown soldier who volunteered to infiltrate the Jin army as a spy.

It is feasible to make text adventure games with such themes, but the key is how the script is.

Jiang Wanna didn't ask any more questions: "I see, I believe in your script. My job is mainly to complete the original paintings of these scenes and characters, right?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes. You can draw the original scene first, and I will draw the characters."

Jiang Wanna's original painting is far inferior to Zhong Ming's, and she doesn't need the modeling and actions she is good at, because this is just a text adventure game, and the characters in it only have some simple movements, such as facial expressions and upper body movements. Actions, etc., do not need to make 3D models or bind bones to make more complex actions.

So Zhong Ming asked her to do the original paintings of scenes with lower requirements first, and he was responsible for the original paintings of several main characters.

"There are also general requirements for the game framework, and this is left to you." Zhong Ming said to Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen nodded: "Don't worry, this is a piece of cake. If you want to add any new functions, you can tell me anytime. My workload should not be completely saturated."

"Then you can match the watch for me." Zhong Ming said.

"……it is good."

In the initial stage of the studio, the division of labor is so random.

Because the team is small and understaffed, many people have to wear several jobs, and those with less work share the work of others, all relying on self-consciousness.

Programs, scripts, and art resources are almost all planned.

One thing is missing.

music.

……

Zhong Ming has been busy all morning, writing a long section of the plot.

The outline of the story has been retrieved and recorded through the universal search tool, but each sentence of the dialogue between the characters needs to be polished slowly.

At noon, Zhong Ming cooked three home-cooked dishes at random, and Zhou Sen ate them full of praise.

"Damn it, I don't see that Zhong Ming, you still have this kind of ability? The cooking is really delicious, you are a fucking genius! This is better than the cafeteria of Guangyi Huyu!"

Zhou Sen took two more mouthfuls of rice after picking up the dishes.

Jiang Wanna smiled and said: "You don't know, these are all a piece of cake, the big dishes made by Zhong Ming before are terrible, don't you know that he is also a gourmet UP host on the video site?"

"Okay, good food. It's delicious and healthy, and it saves money for the aunt who cooks. It's a good profit." Zhou Sen was very satisfied.

There was a short lunch break at noon, Zhou Sen volunteered to do the dishes, Jiang Wanna went downstairs for a walk, and came back to lie down on the sofa for a while.

Zhong Ming took out the folding keyboard, put on the earphones, and prepared to adjust his mood.

I've been busy all morning, and my head is a little swollen. Why don't I change my mind and consider the background music of "The Lurking Red Path".

Searching Wanwei Cloud Music, "cut in love", this familiar song quickly entered Zhong Ming's mind.

This song is the theme song of "The Lurking Red Path", of course, it was picked up from the Internet.

The author of the original version of "The Lurking Red Path" only had the script but no corresponding art and music resources, so he could only piece together things from the Internet.But the resources he found, whether it's character portraits or background music, are all highly compatible with the game itself, especially the theme song, which is simply a match made in heaven.

The melody is simple, and only three instruments are used: piano, jazz drum, and viola. The first impression is that it is lingering and beautiful, but after listening to it for a long time, there is a touch of coldness and sadness.

In Zhong Ming's previous life, this song was misrepresented as "dance to the death" for various reasons, that is, "Puppet's Death Dance Step", which is actually wrong.

However, Zhong Ming felt that the name matched the content of the game very well.

Dance to the death, translated into Chinese is probably "Dance to Death".

Just like the protagonist Fang Bie in the game, he embarked on a path of near death and no return. When he chose this path, he was already mentally prepared to die at any time.

But he still wants to dance on the tip of the knife and take a curtain call in death.

Not only should we live toward death, but we should also dance toward death, looking for a ray of life in the surrounding death, and we should also dance in the surrounding death to comfort this beautiful and ugly world.

The song is not complicated, only three instruments are used, but just this faint piano melody also reminds Zhong Ming of many things.

Recalling the vivid characters in the game, recalling the shocking ending...

I just don't know what kind of reaction the players in this world will have when they read this story?

……

The next few days were uneventful.

The three of them do the work they are responsible for every day, and they can chat together during their breaks. It feels good at the beginning.

However, compared with big companies, this kind of studio must lack a lot of "ritual sense".

"The bonus is over. Your share is more than 2. I'll transfer the money to you." Zhong Ming said to Zhou Sen.

He saw a transfer message on the bracelet, it was from Director Xie, it was his and Zhou Sen's bonus.

Both he and Zhou Sen resigned halfway, so when they resigned, they only settled the salary of the month. As for the bonus, it will not be paid according to the regulations of Guangyi Mutual Entertainment, but Director Xie still gave Zhong Ming from the part of the money he managed. And Zhou Sen made up.

Zhong Ming himself got more than 5 yuan, which is a lot worse than last month.

"More than 2? So much! Lao Xie is such an angel!" Zhou Sen said with emotion.

Zhong Ming was silent for a moment: "Actually, if you were in the project in the first month, this number should be at least doubled."

Zhou Sen was a little speechless: "...then why is there less this month?"

"It should be because Director Bai has used some of the money to continue promoting the project. Didn't you notice that "Xuehai Wuya" and Million Daza coins are often on the hot searches during this period." Zhong Ming said.

"Frequently on the trending searches? I really didn't pay attention." Zhou Sen recalled, "But I didn't seem to feel that everyone was discussing it. On the contrary, the number of people who shared Moments had decreased visibly with the naked eye."

"So, hot searches are for buying."
