Senior Superstar

The game War of Mine, to put it bluntly, has nothing on the technical level.

The game uses a 2D flat horizontal version of the movement mode, which is destined not to require too much modeling.

In terms of production, it can be said that as long as you are a game professional, you can make it with two art girls.

Characters are even easier. In interactive sandbox games like this, characters don’t need to establish an expression system, and even the actions of characters are simple and outrageous.

The only characters that can be operated by the player are walking, running, sitting, lying down, making, holding weapons and corresponding attack postures.

There are more than forty people in the entire Husoft studio.

After Chu He assigned all the tasks, an embarrassing scene happened-more than ten people were not assigned tasks.

in the studio.

Ahem, Director Li, does this one count as a project commission if you don't have any work?

Li Shixin couldn't help being amused seeing Chu He grinning and pointing at the dozen or so employees messing around in the air-conditioning wind.

He knows that the game War of Mine is easy to make. In his impression, the original 11BIT studio of this game only had a few people when making this game. Although the music and dubbing parts were outsourced during the production process, it is said that the entire game took more than four months from planning to completion of testing.

So from the beginning, he actually wanted to use his god-level programming ability to complete this work independently.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinzhi was rich and powerful, so he bought a studio directly.

Now looking at the dozen or so employees who have nowhere to use, Li Shi said confidently that he bought a small studio like Shanghai Soft, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

After pondering in his mind for a moment, Li Shixin said with a smile;

That's good. If you already have a task, you can start right away. You guys will follow me and make the music and promotional video first.

Okay, then you guys just hang out with Mr. Li. If Mr. Li doesn't understand anything about the game, you can explain it to him more.

Okay boss.

Hearing that he was working with Li Shixin, those who had no work to do became happy instantly.

Oh my god, make a promotional video with Director Li! I can brag about this for the rest of my life!

Hey! Go home tonight and talk to my wife. Two days ago, she heard that our studio was bought by Director Li, and she always admired me! These days, she asked me every day when the project will start. I don’t sit on duty with the team, so I told him to tell him when Director Li is here, and he will come and bring me lunch. He is very attentive.”

My husband did the same. He said that he got the moon first because he was close to the water. He dug out all the ticket stubs of The Wandering Earth before, and said he wanted Mr. Li to sign it.

Seeing everyone excited, Li Shixin smiled kindly.

It's nothing to say, I'm here these days. As long as it's not working hours and the development progress of the game is not delayed, our family will definitely give you a chance to get ahead! But let's not talk about these now, I will first explain the requirements of the promotional video Let me tell you.

With Li Shixin's promise, everyone became more motivated and walked to Li Shixin's side one after another.

Seeing that everyone was seated in front of the blackboard, Li Shixin picked up a pen and scribbled a storyboard on the conference board.

I didn't prepare the storyboard for this promotional video, but it's very simple, just highlight one word.

Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Li Shixin's expression became serious.

Compared!

Strong contrast!

On the side, everyone in the production team, who had already received the task and started working, watched Li Shixin waving his arms, explaining to everyone the various elements and visual requirements of the promotional film. Looking at the game settings in front of Chu He.

Boss, can this game be successful? I have been making games for ten years and playing games for twenty-five years. This is the first time I have seen something as evil as today. To be honest, from the design From a fixed point of view, I really can’t get up the idea of ​​playing this game a little bit.”

Yeah, I heard that Mr. Li bought our studio just to make this game. Such a sandbox game was completed and launched in two weeks. What should we do after it goes online? If this game doesn't work, we will But I have no food to eat. The Wandering Earth didn't end this month. The box office is more than 400 million. The old man estimates that the box office can be divided into 3.5 billion. You have money! Or else you can take advantage of it these days Since you have a lot of contact with Mr. Li, you should discuss with him and ask him to inject more funds, and finish our previous Tianji after this project.

Hey! That's a good idea! Sharpening knives doesn't cost woodcutters. We can treat War of Mine as an outsourcer. If he can inject capital, we can continue to work as before.

Go to the side!

Seeing that a group of studio veterans began to have second thoughts before the project was completed, Chu He stared bull-eyed.

Thanks to the fact that you have been martial arts with me for ten years, you don't understand the truth of eating the king's reward and loyalty to the king? Now you are getting the salary of Mr. Li, and you have to think about his project. Tianji Let’s talk about it later. Let’s cheer up and complete My War according to Teacher Li’s requirements!

After being reprimanded by Chu Heyitong, the old fried dough sticks grinned, kicked their toes on the ground, and slid their chairs back to their workstations.

In an instant, there was a crackling keyboard sound.

Seeing everyone getting into work, Chu He smacked his lips secretly, and turned his gaze back to the War of Mine setting book.

More than 20 maps, dark and depressing.

Just looking at it makes people feel as if they are in a kind of boundless despair.

After savoring carefully for a long time, he finally hissed.

Art is quite art, but this... is it really a game for people to play?

drop!

Received the additional [doubt] [worry] negative applause value, 1100 points!

On the other end, Li Shixin, who was explaining the elements of the promotional film to a group of employees, frowned, looked at Chu He who was holding the settings and couldn't help shaking his head, and smiled secretly.

young guy

Times have changed.

Wuxia is no longer what you think it is.

Thinking of this, he drew a big circle on the whiteboard with the marker pen in his hand.

Okay, that's all I want to say. Hurry up and make the promotional animation in the past two days. I'll prepare the promotional song.

Come on, just watch it, Mr. Li!

Facing Li Shixin's request, several young men holding work notebooks agreed in unison.

Seeing that everyone was leading away, Li Shixin took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Li Juan's phone number.

You are familiar with the music company. Book a recording studio for me. I have to record a song in the afternoon.

Come on!

Li Juan on the other end of the phone didn't write any ink, and agreed simply.

Putting down the phone, Li Shixin chuckled, grabbed a piece of A4 paper, drew the line notation with a pencil, and filled in a line of titles on the paper.

Zombie!

In a blink of an eye, more than a week passed.

Although the development progress of the game is very smooth, but in order to catch up with the work, Li Shixin also followed a group of game developers to live a 997 life.

The process of game development is cumbersome, but generally speaking, it is actually a stack of labor. It is not like the director of The Wandering Earth, which requires coordination of many things.

Li Shixin, who has just survived the arduous production of The Wandering Earth, doesn't feel very busy.

Even under the blessing of master-level programming, watching a group of game developers work, he has a feeling of this is it? in his heart all the time.

in the studio.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Shixin raised his hand and looked at his watch.

Seeing that there were still ten minutes before the lunch break, he silently opened his Weibo.

These days, although I have been devoting myself to game development, I have a lot of free time, and I interact with netizens quite frequently on Weibo.

For the fans of The Wandering Earth who disappeared for more than half a year, this is really unprecedented.

Originally, the number of followers on Weibo had reached more than 26 million, but because of the frequent appearances of the master, various comment areas entered randomly, and the activity level was simply out of bounds.

In the comment area, apart from cheering for Li Shixin, supporting and paying attention to Huaqi and Li Shixin himself and Woodz's company suing the FCC and the American Motion Picture Association, there are all kinds of online remakes.

Teacher Li, visit Weibo!

Just when Li Shixin flipped the cards casually, a little girl from the production team of the promotional film walked up to him with a smile.

Seeing someone coming, Li Shixin put down his phone with a smile.

Xiao He, what's the matter?

There were not many people in the studio. After more than a week of contact, among the more than forty people, except for those who were socially phobic, Li Shixin just blushed and nodded every time they met. He basically remembered his name.

The name of the visitor is Su Ho, who is in charge of art in the studio. She is only twenty-seven years old, but she is already the mother of two children.

In the studio where I often work overtime, I am one of the few people who have to take their get off work home and finish it when they get off work, and leave work on time.

On Saturday and Sunday, Li Shixin also met her two sons—a pair of twin brothers with thick heads and thick brains.

At the beginning, Su Ho was quite far away from Li Shixin, but after getting in touch with Li Shixin and knowing Li Shixin's temperament, he let go of his restraint.

Mischievously, he looked at Li Shixin's phone screen, and casually gave Li Shixin a thumbs-up for a comment asking for a flop. Su Ho smiled and took out a hard drive, and handed it to Li Shixin.

The promotional video is finished, Mr. Li, my work is done! Please check and accept it. My son celebrates his birthday the day after tomorrow. I want to take a group art photo for them. If there are no problems, I will slip away after get off work. ah.

Taking the hard drive with a smile, Li Shixin waved his hand.

It's not that particular. Since the work is done, you should go there in the afternoon. You are not alone in the project team. If there is a problem, I will find someone else.

Really?

Hearing what Li Shixin said, Su Ho's eyes widened in surprise.

Really, it's time to go and spend time with the child. I'll tell Xiao Chu later that it doesn't count as your leave.

Then thank you, Teacher Li! Then I will be ordered to skip class!

He waved his hand to Su Ho, and watched the little hot mom happily go back to get the bag, Li Shixin smiled and connected the hard drive to his computer.

As the only video file in it ran, a beautifully rendered horizontal scroll was displayed in front of him.

After reading the content of the promotional video, Li Shixin raised his lips to confirm that there is no problem with the coordination of music and images.

During Soho's farewell, he silently opened his Weibo and Twitter.

Put the promotional video, choose to upload!

Seeing the notification that the upload was successful, his eyes became playful.

Keep an eye on the last two hot topics related to you on Weibo;

The Trade Arbitration Commission has accepted Huaqi, Woodz and director Li Shixin's arbitration proposal against the FCC and the North American Film Association MPAA regarding the PN-17 rating of The Wandering Earth!

The FCC and the MPAA jointly issued a statement today stating that they will not participate in the arbitration case between Huaqi Li Shixin and Woods, do not intend to modify the restricted rating of The Wandering Earth, and do not welcome artists who discredit the democratic system to enter the North American local film and television industry .”

I see you guys, can you hold back this wave!

the other side of the earth.

North American Film Association.

Mr. Jennings, for Huaqi and Li Shixin alone, I'm actually not worried about this matter. However, it is said that Woods Company lost nearly 70 million US dollars on the Wandering Earth project this time. I am more worried about them. Litigation will be initiated in local courts”

In the office of the president of the association, Nathan Williams, the executive president, handed a glass of spirits to Jennings, the standard executive of PCC.

Seeing the worry on Williams' face, Jennings took a sip of the whiskey in his glass and smiled.

Nathan, I have no idea what you're worried about. The ban on The Wandering Earth and the damn director, even if it goes to Congress, we will only get praise. In fact, on this matter, the House of Representatives Some friends here have fully affirmed us. Including Whitson of the Information Agency, also supported our decision in public. I personally sympathize with what happened to Woods. However, putting a movie that is not conducive to the image of the country It was their mistake to introduce the disseminated movies into the domestic market, but the result now is that they are paying for their own indiscretion, isn't it?

Instead of worrying about this, I think your association should pay extra attention to Li Shixin. I got to know this guy specifically before, and at the Berlin Film Festival, he showed a very aggressive momentum. As a practitioner in the film and television industry, he seems to have been dissatisfied with creating influence in his country recently and turned to international development.

Such a filmmaker who can screw up the Berlin Film Festival on his own is what your association needs to be especially wary of.

After a serious explanation, Jennings drank the wine in the glass, held up the empty glass, turned and left.

Looking at his back, Nathan Williams pursed his thin lips and silently turned on the phone.

On Twitter, I quickly found Li Shixin's account.

The game This War of Mine/This War of Mine, produced by me personally, has entered the testing stage. It will log in to Steam as an independent game in the near future, and here is the promotional video. Here, thank you The girl Amyna in the Syrian refugee camp provided a lot of material for the game. I also sincerely hope that there will be no more unjust wars in this world!

The news that had just been updated immediately caught his attention.

PS: Many friends asked the latest update questions, let’s focus on explaining here; before the child caught a cold, and then the wife’s grandma had a cerebral infarction and was hospitalized in a hospital near our home. There are people coming and going at home these days, so I can only update at night. I'm really sorry.
