Game development giant

After Qinglong Studio began to get on track, Li Yuanhang gradually focused his attention on "Candle Man".

It is already early April, and it has been more than a month since the project of "Candle Man" was established. Shinhwa Studio has completed a Demo with only the first level.

According to the old tradition, everyone in Shinhwa Studio received a test mobile phone equipped with the "Candle Man" Demo. The common models on the market can be seen here, and they can be adapted while testing.

Li Yuanhang clicked on the Demo, and after the LOGO of Shinhwa Network and Shinhwa Studio appeared on the screen, he entered the game interface directly.

Although this is a functional test, some of the outsourced art resources have just been transferred back, and they can be used in the Demo of the first level. Therefore, the demo screen Li Yuanhang sees now is still good. If nothing unexpected happens, The official version will be the same as this one.

Yes, Li Yuanhang did not choose to use the applications in "Game Development Giant" this time, mainly because the points and free access rights have been used up on "Monument Valley". The dozen points I have seen are still recent The turnover of the two games is automatically exchanged.

Li Yuanhang controlled basic operations such as lighting a small candle and jumping. The movements were smooth, without obvious delay and stiffness, which was quite satisfactory.

It's just that the interaction that Li Yuanhang repeatedly mentioned in the plan did not appear in the Demo. The interaction between the player and the little candle, and the interaction between the little candle and the surrounding environment are not reflected in this demo.

Li Yuanhang called Zhang Wei, the chief planner who had just been recruited by Shinhwa Studios: "The focus on interaction that I mentioned in the planning book, why can't it be reflected in the Demo?"

Zhang Wei is 28 years old this year. He is the executive planner of a medium-sized mobile game company. Because he and his wife have been separated for a long time, he was scared by his wife’s divorce agreement and he quickly resigned and returned to his hometown. He finally came to Shinhwa Studio as the chief policy officer .

Because Li Yuanhang focused on the Qinglong studio some time ago, and the Shinhwa studio had relatively few visits, so he had less contact with Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei couldn’t figure out his own boss’s mind for a while. Honestly answer: "BOSS, this is the case, because this version of the Demo is mainly a functional test, so the interactive part is not added."

Li Yuanhang thought for a while and said: "Since the art resources for the first level are already in place, and it seems that there are no fatal bugs, you can just negotiate with Brother Hai and add all the relevant content. It's equivalent to the first level in a complete set. Come and see what needs improvement at that time."

Zhang Wei blinked suspiciously and nodded: "Good BOSS, I will discuss with Haige now. The full version of the first level will take about ten days to complete, because the novice guide system and some The interactive content has not yet been made."

Li Yuanhang said non-committal: "That's OK, let's start the test again in ten days, you ask Haige to modify the small bugs that I found today."

...

Twelve days later, the demo of the first level of the full version has been made, which is two days longer than Zhang Wei expected.

Li Yuanhang clicked on the second version of the Demo again, and found that the graphics in the game were a lot more refined. There was also a small face on the candle man. A few strokes made the little candle’s face feel joy, anger and sorrow. It looks much pleasing to the eye than the previous version.

For example, after the small candle lights the extinguished candle, you can see an upward movement at the corner of the mouth. Although it is very subtle, it can also make the player feel the joy of the small candle.

When the small candle accidentally falls below and resurrects, the eyebrows and eyebrows on the small face will move closer to the middle of the eyes and press down slightly, which makes people feel the anger of the small candle.

I have to admire Wang Xiuqin's artistic skills, this little candle was drawn by her personally.

With this small face, the small candle has changed from the original two-legged candle to an emotional "candle man".

It took Li Yuanhang about ten minutes to try the first level. This level was carefully designed by the six levels of Shinhwa Studio. Although they only found and lit eight candles, they kept the essence of the original version. There has been a good improvement.

It's not surprising to think about it, the previous life's interactive creative arts had only a few people when they first developed "Candle Man", which is much worse than the current Shinhwa Studio.

The Shinhwa Studio now has 24 members, of which six are still level planners, and they are much stronger in human and material resources. It is not surprising that they can design better levels than in the previous life.

Zhao Qiaoyi was the original painting of the scene, and it was the first time he saw the live version of the little candle man. He couldn't help but was attracted: "This little candle man is so cute."

Chen Yuting nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, Sister Qin is really amazing. It's so amazing to portray the little candle man's expression in such a simple strokes."

Wang Xiuqin was also very satisfied with his work, and said modestly: "It feels okay. The most important thing is that the design of the BOSS is good. After the little candle has this face, he feels that he has the same feelings as people. It's amazing."

Zhang Yunhai smiled and said, "Xiuqin, you are too modest. There should not be too many people who paint better than you in art."

Although it was only a short level, the whole Shinhwa Studio was boiling. They saw the fruits of their hard work for more than a month, which far exceeded their expectations. They are no longer in the "Candle Man" project. Any more doubts.

Especially those who are new to Shinhwa Studio. Although there was already "Monument Valley" before, but they were not very optimistic about the "Candle Man" that is currently being produced, until they played the first level by themselves. Demo.

All doubts have disappeared!

Li Yuanhang himself also feels very good about the demo of "Candle Man". He smiled and saw the happy expressions of his employees, clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention on himself, and asked: "Everyone thinks this Demo how about it?"

"very good."

"I can't wait to play the full version of the game."

"Completely compete with "Monument Valley" today, BOSS you are really amazing."

"I can't believe this is a game I made by myself."

"BOSS, you are a genius producer!"

Listening to the rainbow farts of the people below, Li Yuanhang was happy, and he waved his hand and said, "To celebrate the perfect ending of the first Demo of "Candle Man", I invite everyone to have a hot pot tonight. Celebrate, I will send you the address later."
