589.Evolution (I)

Golden Week is closed.

For the average person in Japan, this is probably the longest holiday of the year. However, for students who have winter and summer vacations and spring vacations, it seems more ordinary.

Jiang Yu has no plans to travel during the holidays, and Xiao Bury and Mahaku are also two outright family squatters, so apart from not having to go to school, their lives are not any different from usual.

Going to sea has not reached the point where it has fallen into a bottleneck and needs to go everywhere to collect materials. It's better to say that she is now at the stage of her greatest desire to create, and recently she has maintained the speed of designing FSN characters almost every day, and is running forward with full motivation.

However, this is probably also Jiang Yu drew a draft character design for each character from the beginning, so all you need to do to go to sea is to improve and add some of your own things on top of that.

By the way, when I went to sea and finished reading the character and experience of Kirizakura, my expression was really quite subtle, and I frequently used a pair of implicit shy eyes to look at Jiang Yu who pretended to be unfazed with a wooden face. After all, although he removed the part of the original work that deliberately replenished the demons, he still did not change the setting of the marking worm.

It's normal for a girl to feel sick and scared when she thinks of thousands of insects shuttling back and forth in her body, just to change the magic circuits and magic attributes that you don't know how powerful you are.

Don't wait...... She was obviously embarrassed and shy like that, huh? Shouldn't this kid have awakened some strange attributes when everyone didn't know about it?

Ahem, as for Lunya, it seems that he is busy fulfilling his original promise and helping "icy tail" deal with the invitation to Live. Kanna Shiraishi was taken out on a trip by her family, and although Megumi Kato's family seems to have travel plans this year, she didn't go with her, but ......

"Jiang Jun, do you have any requirements for lunch?"

"I didn't ...... Feel free to do whatever you want...... Why would you start preparing lunch as a matter of course? ”

"Hmm......" The bob-headed girl twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, and replied with a chuckle, "Because I'm generally idle now~~"

The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched, and he said weakly: "That's ......"

The development of things is like this - on the first day of Golden Week, Jiang Yu was still confused due to staying up late in the early morning, and he was woken by the doorbell. And when he was wearing pajamas and pajamas, slippers and slippers, he walked to the entrance and opened the door, and when he saw this unexpected visitor, he was stunned for a long time before he completely woke up.

However, the first thought that came to his mind at that time was not, "me, not only am I not washing my face now, but I am also wearing pajamas!" Rather, "Have we made an appointment to have a gathering today?" "It's also a way for people to not know what to say.

Looking at Megumi Kato's figure busy in the open kitchen, and the nature that seemed unfamiliar with this place, Jiang Yu not only didn't feel strange, but was a little naturally busy with his own affairs.

Why, you ask?

Well, of course, it's because the other party is Kato~

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Yu stood up from his chair and stretched, and after yawning almost subconsciously, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pulled the progress bar of the document to the top, and took a cursory look at the key plot. After confirming that it was correct, he sent the document to the LINE chat group of everyone in the club, and circled all the members.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yu sent another message to Lun Ye privately, to the effect that he should read it quickly, and after reading it, he would also be ready to write the plot he was responsible for. If you have any questions, you can always talk to you on LINE or by phone.

This Golden Week, Jiang Yu didn't expect to make much progress in club activities, he had another thing to worry about.

……

Two days later, the Tokyo head office of "Jianghesoft".

Jiang Yu didn't take advantage of the vacation to relax himself, but came to the conference room discussed yesterday early in the morning, couldn't help but take out the plan again, and read it from beginning to end. From the basic concept, to the concise audience, and finally to the benefits for both players and manufacturers.

Without a doubt, this is a very professional proposal. Although she didn't know the name at the beginning, this could not hide Jiang Yu's approval of this proposal.

As one of the project leaders of "Jianghe Software", and the most convenient "Driftfire" engine developer in the company and even in the market to produce ACT games, Jiang Yu's voice is undoubtedly quite heavy. If she values a project, it basically means that the project is also a sure thing.

But this time things are not so simple.

Because according to Jiang He, who is at the helm of the entire company and has made several classics one after another, the provider of this proposal clearly requires that he needs "supervision" in the production process.

What is the concept of "supervision"? To put it simply, just like the project manager, he has the right to inspect and supervise the progress of all parts of the project, although he does not have the same decision-making power as the chief designer, but he also has the right to put forward opinions and let each department implement it to a certain extent.

But at the same time, you only have this right, and you don't need to be like a real project manager, but also to ensure the development time limit and delivery quality of the game, be responsible for the connection between relevant departments and teams, and be responsible for communication inside and outside the project team.

In short, the right is neither big nor small, and the responsibility is basically the same as nothing. If it were left to a layman who couldn't see what he was capable of, it wouldn't be surprising that the entire project team would suddenly come to a standstill.

Because of this, Jiang Yu seemed very repulsed by this, and there was an unscheduled meeting today.

……

Jiang Yu wore a school uniform and followed Jiang He to his destination. On the way, he hesitated for a while, but still asked, "Dad, what kind of person is the other party?" ”

Jiang He didn't stop, and after being silent for a moment, he replied: "It's a very serious person, and the company's "Flowing Fire" game engine was developed by her. ”

"Well, that's right."

Jiang Yu was in awe, because he had been a programmer in the past, that he knew how worthy of recognition and respect were for those who could be down-to-earth and build a game engine from scratch.

Every year, so many program bigwigs in the industry say that they want to make engines, but in the end they come up with finished products, or even pull the team to do it, which is really very few.

At the same time, he was relieved. Only if you are more truthful will you be more likely to pay attention to every detail in the production of the game. Although the truth also means that the next negotiations are not beneficial to him, Jiang Yu still has a certain degree of confidence in convincing the other party.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, Jiang Yu immediately found a neatly dressed woman with a short ponytail, sitting at one end of the conference table, looking down at the materials on the table.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the other party raised his head, first greeted Jiang He, saw Jiang Yu a little behind, stunned for a moment, and then squinted his eyes and shifted his gaze to him.

Facing the eyes that seemed to be about to explore and see through something, Jiang Yu exhaled softly, took a few steps forward and crossed Jiang He, and said in a calm tone: "Hello, I am the author of the "Dark Souls" project book, Jiang Yu. ”

Jiang Yu seemed to think of something when he heard this, and shifted his inquiring gaze to Jiang He's face, who nodded with a smile, but immediately shook his head again.

Jiang Yu knew in her heart, according to her understanding of her own boss, it was probably acknowledging the relationship she had guessed, but at the same time letting her relax and test.

After several thoughts in his mind, Jiang Yu stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "Please take a seat." I am the general designer and head of the tentative "Dark Souls" project, Jiang Yu. ”

As soon as the words came out, she seemed to realize that something was wrong, and she was suddenly stunned for a moment. And Jiang Yu also seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and finally he struggled to endure the change in his expression.

After both sides sat down, Jiang He went straight out. Jiang Yu took the lead in speaking: "I have read your plan book in the past few days. It is precisely because we are satisfied that we will let our project team take over this project. But I heard from the boss, you seem to have a little more to ask for? ”

That kind of straightforward and unobtrusive way of speaking, Jiang Yu instantly understood the style of the person in front of him. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he replied, "Miss Jiang Yu is lucky for each other to be able to see this project. I don't have the slightest doubt about the seriousness of your employees, but as a planner, it's like your work is about to be adapted into something more concrete, and you may not be able to feel at ease if you can't witness the process with your own eyes. ”

Jiang Yu frowned, and his tone was awe-inspiring: "You should understand that we can't easily follow a layman's arrangement. And you're dressed like this...... Did you go to college? ”

Jiang Yu pursed his lips, and secretly said that he is young, and it is really inconvenient to negotiate in these places, if he is already a well-known game producer, where will there be this link.

Although he thought like this in his mind, Jiang Yu's expression did not change, and he still said calmly: "I am in my third year of high school this year. ”

Jiang Yu's tone remained unchanged and continued to lead the rhythm: "Then you should focus more on your studies." ”

Jiang Yu sighed, took out a document from his backpack, handed it to Jiang Yu, and said sincerely: "My studies do not conflict with this, and at the same time, I am not a person who can be idle. These are the three games I made last year, and some of the comments after they were posted on the Internet, I hope Miss Jiang Yu can take a look at them. ”

Jiang Yu took it as he said, and he didn't be polite, and looked at it seriously. When she saw the "Witch's House", she had no impression in the slightest; "Origin" she recalls something a little, like a pixel block game, which used to cause quite a stir among programmers; And the "famine" her impression suddenly deepened, after all, during that time, the company seemed to be poisoned, many employees stayed up in groups of three or two to play games, and even later asked for permission from above, using the idle resources of the server to build a game world that was only open to the company's internal IP, and a group of people were struggling on the verge of survival.

Jiang Yu said sincerely: "I also participated in the production of these three games, so I shouldn't be a pure layman. I don't have any experience in large-scale productions, but I think we share the same high standards and passion for making games. Therefore, Miss Jiang Yu does not have to worry about me messing around. It's because I value this work more than anyone else that I want to put myself in the shoes of an overseer and prevent it from deviating from the path I envisioned it should be on. ”

Jiang Yu thought a lot when she heard this, of course, mainly because she thought that her own boss had put people in to talk to her, which meant that although she didn't explicitly support it, she at least acquiesced. And after this conversation just now, her impression of Jiang Yu is not bad. If the other party wouldn't point fingers as he said, then her resistance was actually not that big.

And, as a game developer, to a certain extent, she does admire, even respect, the people who build the entire game world.

In her eyes, that's much harder than the transactional work of writing engine modeling and debugging values. Although if she looked at it from a different angle, she might find that the other party also saw programmers in the same way.

After the two sides reached a consensus, the atmosphere of the ensuing negotiations was very relaxed. The main thing is to talk about when the project will be officially launched, the painting and modeling parts will probably be done by the company itself, and which will be outsourced to trusted people, etc. And after knowing that Jiang Yu actually had a complete set of settings on his side, the expression on Jiang Yu's face became more relaxed, and now he even saved the effort of finding someone to write the background story and world view.

Of course, all of this will not be finalized until she has seen the set. However, looking at Jiang Yu's confident expression, she felt that there was no need to worry about quality.

The rest of Golden Week went by in a flash, and it seemed like it was just a matter of moments, from school to weekends.

In recent days, Jiang Yu has been guiding Lun Ye to write the UBW line. As for why it was decided to put him in charge of this route, which can be said to be the most in-depth analysis of the words "hero" and "ideal...... Of course, it's because the heroine of this line is a template-like tsundere character?

On Saturday night, Jiang Yu suddenly received an unexpected call request.

After connecting it, the familiar, faintly provocative voice rang in my ears again.

“…… I heard that you asked Ha Island's brother to join the production team? ”

"That...... Sister, how long has it been since you went online? This must have happened last month, right? And it's not me, it's Lun who also asked him to join. ”

Jiang Yu said with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
