In 1995, Shenzhen was full of reinforced concrete jungles and high-rise buildings soaring into the sky, looking like an international metropolis city, and almost no domestic city could compare with it. In particular, Shun Hing Plaza, located in the triangle area at the intersection of Shennan East Road, Jiefang Road and Bao'an South Road, is nicknamed Diwang Building by the public, not only creating a new Shenzhen speed of "two and a half days and one floor", but also trying to challenge the throne of Asia's tallest building with a design of 69 floors and a total height of 383.95 meters.

Zhang Lexing's purpose in coming to Shenzhen this time is actually very simple, that is, for the two games of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and the original code name "Obsidian", which are now officially named "Legend of Blackstone", to see the progress of development. The "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Legend of Blackstone" project teams are located on the 6th floor of the Kumho Building, where Kingsoft GM is located, and each rented about 200 square meters of office space for development.

After driving for seven or eight minutes from the Luohu port, I arrived at the downstairs of the Kumho Building. Zhang Lexing and assistant Wang Mengyao got out of the car and walked through the lobby downstairs, ready to take the elevator upstairs. When the two of them were about to walk to the elevator, the door of an elevator was slowly closing, Wang Mengyao hurriedly ran a few steps, and wanted to press the elevator up button, but unfortunately it was too late. Seeing that the elevator was about to close completely, the elevator doors suddenly opened to both sides, and Zhang Lexing and Wang Mengyao hurriedly walked into the elevator.

There was only one woman in the elevator wearing a red double-breasted jacket and dark jeans, holding a few folders in her hands, and it was obvious that she should have pressed the door button to open the door again.

Zhang Lexing glanced at the woman in red, and then said to her, "Thank you so much just now!" ”

"Thank you so much sister just now, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to catch this elevator." Wang Mengyao next to her also thanked very obediently.

"It's okay." The woman in red smiled faintly and took two steps back inside with the folder.

Wang Mengyao reached out and wanted to press the floor button on the 6th floor, but found that she had already pressed it, so she stopped and put her hand back. The woman on the side obviously noticed this, but she was still very indifferent, holding the folder and not speaking.

The 6th floor of "Ding ......" arrived, and Zhang Lexing followed Wang Mengyao and the woman in red out of the elevator. After the woman in red got out of the elevator and walked to the right-hand side, Zhang Lexing looked at her back, there was only one company in that direction, Jinshan General Motors, it seemed that the woman in red should go there, but I didn't know if she was a new employee or here to do something.

The back of the woman in red disappeared at the gate of Jinshan General not far away, Zhang Lexing took his gaze back, and walked with Wang Mengyao to the office of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Legend of Black Stone" project team located on the left hand side of the elevator exit. For reasons of confidentiality, the doors of the two project offices are usually closed, and no outsiders are allowed to visit.

Zhang Lexing knocked on the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" project office casually, and there seemed to be no response, Wang Mengyao took it and knocked for a while, and finally there was movement, it seemed that after a figure shook on the cat's eye, the door of the office was opened, revealing Zhan Jun's slightly tired figure.

"Boss, you're here, please come in!" Zhan Jun took two steps back, got out of the way, and greeted him repeatedly.

"Zhan Jun, you have been fortunate for this time." Zhang Le walked forward and patted Zhan Jun on the shoulder, and walked into the office, and Wang Mengyao followed behind and walked in.

Zhan Jun took two steps closely, rushed to lead the way, and asked as he walked: "Boss, are you here this time to see the development of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?" ”

"yes, by the way, I would like to express my condolences to everyone." Zhang Lexing nodded and continued to walk inside.

Turning around the entrance hall separated from the outside, inside is the open Chase room office area, which is the place where all the staff of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" project team work, when Zhang Lexing arrived, everyone was busy in front of the computer.

Zhan Jun was about to shout to everyone, but Zhang Lexing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't disturb everyone's work, take me to see how "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is doing." ”

Zhan Jun nodded, led Zhang Lexing and Wang Mengyao to the outermost desk, made a gesture of please, and said, "Boss, you sit down first, and I'll introduce the situation to you." ”

Zhang Lexing nodded and sat down, Wang Mengyao also dragged a chair from the side and sat down, then took out a pen and notepad, and prepared to record.

"Boss,At present, the art、Planning and programming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" have all been completed,After a large-scale test some time ago,There are basically no obvious bugs,Now the main task is the replacement of voice library files and resource library files and the production of installation disks。 According to the company's market plan, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" needs to produce three versions, the first is the mainland version with Chinese Simplified subtitles (the game voice is Mandarin), the second is the Hong Kong and Macao version with Chinese Traditional subtitles (the game voice is Cantonese), and the third is the Taiwan version with Chinese Traditional subtitles (the game voice is Chinese). At the beginning of the planning, we have agreed on a unified library file definition rules for the three versions, so the program part does not need to be adjusted to meet the use of the three versions at the same time, and then use the library file replacement tool we designed ourselves to realize the replacement of the three versions of the voice library file and the resource library file, plus the automatic check and manual verification when importing data, the workload of making these three versions of the installation disk is not large. At present, the production of the mainland version of Chinese Simplified Chinese subtitles and the Taiwan version of Chinese Traditional Chinese subtitles has been completed, and the Hong Kong and Macao versions of Chinese traditional subtitles have just been replaced and are being checked. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we will also do a final test on the installation disk, which includes the installation and compatibility test of the installation disc in various hardware environments. ”

"Good." Zhang Lexing nodded, satisfied with the current progress, and then remembered the question of the completion date, so he asked, "When do you expect it to be completed?" ”

"Well," Zhan Jun thought for a moment and said, "It is expected to be about three weeks, that is, around February 12th." ”

"February 12th?" Zhang Lexing thought about it in his heart, and felt that something was wrong: "Then wouldn't you not even have a break for the Spring Festival?" ”

"Yes, boss, the main thing is that it's almost the same, we all want to rest when we're done." Zhan Jun explained.

Zhang Lexing shook his head: "This can't be done, it's not easy for everyone, how can you not go home during the Spring Festival." Besides, the Workshop has never encouraged rushing, so if you already have a development schedule, you just need to follow the schedule. If this happens, I can only think that it is either a miscalculation when estimating the development schedule, or the development efficiency cannot be guaranteed during the development process. Of course, I know that this is not the case for you, and you want to finish it in advance, but the Spring Festival is only once a year, so let's go home and rest. In this way, there will be a holiday on the 29th at the latest, well, come back to work on the 13th of next month, and give everyone two weeks to have a good rest. ”

"Boss, in that case, it is estimated that it will not be completed until around February 26, and it will not delay the company's marketing plan." Zhan Jun asked worriedly.

Zhang Lexing turned his head to Wang Mengyao and asked, "Well, does this time have an impact on the marketing plan?" ”

Wang Mengyao flipped through her notebook and replied: "If it's February 26th, I'm afraid the marketing plan will be launched for a week." ”

"Well, then you notify the people in the marketing department and ask them to adjust their plans." Zhang Lexing explained.

"Okay boss, I'll let them know right now." After speaking, Wang Mengyao got up and went to call.

"What's the difference between this release and the demos I've seen before?" Zhang Lexing asked Zhan Jun.

"It's basically the same, except that the official version is more complete, and some minor adjustments have been made to make it more convenient for players to operate. There is an official version in this computer, boss, do you want to see it for yourself? ”

"Okay, you can help me bring it out, I'll take a look for myself."

Zhan Jun quickly launched the game, and Zhang Lexing held the mouse and began to operate. The opening animation at the beginning is similar to what I saw before, except that the picture looks more delicate, and after entering the game, the picture looks more refined, and it seems that a lot of work has been put into the art. In addition to supporting the mouse, the operation of the character can also be controlled with the keyboard, and even the game controller connected to the computer can be controlled very smoothly, and the walking and running of the character can not see any traces of mud and water, it feels very smooth, and the control in the battle is also very smooth, and the effect of various spells looks more gorgeous, it seems that from the trial version to the official version, the members of the development team have put a lot of thought into it.

Zhang Lexing was playing on the computer, and Zhan Jun was explaining the characters, scenes, and related plots on the screen from time to time, or the explanation of the relevant game system.

While playing, Wang Mengyao came back after making a phone call, and she didn't care about sitting down, so she reported to Zhang Lexing: "Boss, I have already notified Chen Jingyi from the marketing department, and there is no problem with her." ”

"Good." Zhang Lexing replied, then restarted the game after exiting, put the mouse in his hand again, and said to Wang Mengyao: "You come and play." ”

"Boss, how do you play this?" Wang Mengyao held the mouse, but didn't know how to start, so she turned her eyes for help to Zhang Lexing.

"It's very simple, basically just move the mouse, left-click, you can try it yourself.。 Zhang Lexing deliberately didn't say it, just to see if a person who didn't know anything about the game could play "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" without a manual.

Wang Mengyao had no choice but to hold the mouse pitifully, move, click, and soon entered the game. Relying on Lianmeng's guessing, coupled with the prompts on the screen, Wang Mengyao, who was confused, actually played soundly, and Zhang Lexing's goal was achieved.

"You have done a good job, so let's do it, today is the twenty-third year of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and I invite everyone to dinner at noon, on the one hand, to thank everyone for their efforts during this time, and on the other hand, it is also for the festival. By the way, Wang Mengyao, you go and contact the place to eat, if you are not clear, you can go to Jinshan General to ask, they should have locals. ”

"Okay boss, I'll do it now." After speaking, Wang Mengyao turned around and left.

"Zhan Jun, wait for Wang Mengyao to come back, and then announce it to everyone." Zhang Lexing explained to Zhan Jun again, and then re-engaged in the game to experience the familiar and unfamiliar feeling.

After playing for a while, when he was sitting on the sword of Jiujian Immortal and flying to Shushan, Wang Mengyao came back: "Boss, it's done, it's a restaurant called Xifeng near here, I heard from people in Jinshan General that the taste and environment are not bad, I booked six tables." ”

Zhang Lexing gave her a thumbs up and praised: "Smart! ”

When Zhan Jun heard the exact news brought by Wang Mengyao, he clapped his hands and announced loudly to everyone: "Everyone, pay attention, the boss has come to visit you, and please come to Xifeng to eat at the restaurant at noon." ”

Hearing that the boss was coming, everyone felt their bodies instinctively tighten, and then the news of the meal made everyone relax again. Everyone got up one after another and greeted Zhang Lexing, who had no choice but to nod to everyone in response. After visiting the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" project team, Zhang Lexing and Wang Mengyao transferred to the "Legend of Blackstone" project team next door.

After more than a year of revision, the current "Legend of Blackstone" has changed a lot compared to the original "Obsidian", such as the real-time battle mode and random item drop system, but the biggest change is the style of the graphics, which is much brighter than the beginning. The reason why this is the case is because Zhang Lexing often had to adjust the brightness of the display to the maximum in order to play "Diablo", for the sake of the life of the display for the majority of players, Zhang Lexing put forward the requirements for the brightness of the picture.

According to Zhang Lexing's suggestion, the "Legend of Blackstone" project team led by Mike Ronald made extensive revisions, and on the day Zhang Lexing came, they just came up with a relatively complete trial version. In addition to announcing the news of the noon dinner, Zhang Lexing played a trial version of "Legend of Blackstone" as usual, after a large modification, not only the game combat effect is gorgeous, but the feel of the operation is also smoother, in Zhang Lexing's view, it is a bit like "Diablo" brightened and accelerated version.

Zhang Lexing's original plan,"Legend of Blackstone" to participate in the first E3 exhibition this year,And from the quality of the current trial version,Zhang Lexing believes that it is absolutely possible to be a blockbuster,The only flaw is the requirements for computer performance,The processor must reach the level of Pentium60,Memory requirements16MB,None of them can be reached,The game cannot be carried out smoothly,Fortunately, the game is not planned to be launched this year。

Leaving the "Legend of Blackstone" project team, Zhang Lexing went to Jinshan General Motors again, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Qiu Bojun and a few young people discussing something. Qiu Bojun was facing the direction Zhang Lexing was coming from, and before Zhang Lexing could get closer, he noticed it.

"Mr. Zhang, why do you have time to come here today?" Qiu Bojun stopped the discussion with a few young people and turned to Zhang Lexing to greet him.

"I just went to the side to take a look, and by the way, I came to take a look, what kind of problem are you working on?" Zhang Lexing asked curiously.

Before he could ask Bojun to speak, a few young people stood up and greeted Zhang Lexing: "Principal, hello! ”

Zhang Lexing hesitated for a moment and asked, "You graduated from Fengyun Game Academy?" ”

Several people nodded, and one of the slightly taller young men replied, "We are students of the 9303 class, graduating in '94. My name is Wu Minghong, and I'm a planner now. The two on my left are Zhu Weigang and Wang Feng, both programmers, and the two boring ones are Wu Qiong and Yuan Zhen, who are doing art. ”

"Oh, there's more." Wu Minghong came to the side, patted the shoulder of the woman sitting in front of the computer writing code, and said, "Tong Caihua, the principal is here." ”

Tong Caihua stood up and turned around, just looking at Zhang Lexing, Zhang Lexing was stunned, wasn't the woman in red in front of him who met in the elevator just now.

"I didn't think it was you." Zhang Lexing didn't expect to meet his students casually in the elevator, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Tong Caihua was also surprised and said: "Ah, I didn't expect you to be the principal, no wonder you looked a little familiar in the elevator just now." ”

"Qiu Bojun, what are they doing here? Developing a game? ”

"That's right, Mr. Zhang, they belong to the game studio established by Kingsoft GM, and the official name is Kingsoft Multimedia Project Team, but I prefer to use the name 'Xishanju'."

"I didn't expect you to have a game development studio too."

"That's also because of the influence of Mr. Zhang, it was after your two project teams came over, I moved the idea of game development, and I also sent a recruitment notice last year, except for a few of your students, everyone else was recruited. Let me introduce, this is the planner Zhao Lihai, and the project we are developing is his suggestion, this is the program Liu Qingyang, as well as the artist Chen Zhuo, and the music production Luo Xiaoyin. ”

Qiu Bojun introduced the remaining members of Xishanju to Zhang Lexing one by one, all of them happened to be what Zhang Lexing had heard of, these people are still enthusiastic to enter the game development industry, it is the time when the momentum is the highest, and in a few years, Luo Xiaoyin will be left alone.

Introducing the completer, Zhang Lexing curiously asked Qiu Bojun what the project they were developing was, Qiu Bojun was very generous, and used a computer to introduce it directly: "The game we are developing is called "Zhongguancun Apocalypse", which is a business strategy game......

While listening to Qiu Bojun's introduction, while looking at the game screen on the computer, Zhang Lexing almost didn't recognize it. Maybe it's a graduate who joined a few Fengyun game schools, and now this "Zhongguancun Apocalypse" and the one that Zhang Lexing once played should be very different, not only the art is much more exquisite and perfect, but also the gameplay has added more interesting content, not only can you open a company to engage in research and development, but you can also directly rent a store in the computer store for retail or wholesale. The operation interface is also richer, no longer the monotonous simple interface like application software in Zhang Lexing's impression, but has added a lot of familiar scenes in Zhongguancun, improved the control interface, and become more like a game. At least at this time, it's a pretty good game.
