On July 13th, Qingyu Network finally got the first batch of art resources delivered by the outsourcing company.

5 NPCs and 5 monsters for a total of 10 characters, and 5 scenes including 1 world map, 1 town and 3 dungeon battle scenes.

It's only been a week since Rao Bin sent the requirements document, and normally the efficiency is not so high, for no other reason, Xia Qingyu added money. In terms of quality, it is also passable, worthy of this price, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu took out resources for the whole group to discuss, and everyone agreed that they could receive the goods.

The scene of "ProjectW" is pure 2D, that is, an original drawing is enough, and the outsourcing company only needs to deliver the original painting, subsequent cutting, adjusting the file size, etc., Ye Shenxi will directly hand it over to Tong Ling.

The characters are 3D to 2D, commonly known as three to two, which is more complex than the scene, which is also a more common way to deal with the role, not only in the game industry, in fact, there are many works in the animation field that are made in this way.

After the 3D artist gets the original drawing of the character, he builds a 3D model and texture in a 3D animation software such as maya according to the original sketch, and then completes the character action, and bakes it in the form of a sequence frame diagram, and finally renders more than a dozen pictures, which are continuously played to constitute a complete character action.

The biggest advantage of this method is that it can greatly reduce the labor cost, for example, if a character is not satisfied with the appearance or movement, it can be adjusted and re-rendered in Maya, without the need for the artist to draw it one by one.

Without a doubt, this is the biggest piece of the game's art resources. Ordinary street NPCs are okay, just a standby action, while ordinary monsters are at least standby, attacking, being hit and even dying, and even player characters and bosses, there is more than one attack, and the skill actions are far more dazzling and complex than ordinary attacks.

Therefore, Ye Shenxi asked for outsourcing to deliver the character resources, which must include the original painting, 3D model, action file and final rendering sequence frame diagram, so that when there are art resources that need to be modified, he does not have to contact the outsourcing, and the project team can solve it internally.

The current art team is missing, Cao Ruoruo and Tong Ling are pure 2D art, and they don't use 3D animation software like maya, so Ye Shenxi has been looking for a qualified 3D artist, and this need may be more urgent than the program responsible for combat performance.

Finally, last week, Ye Shenxi interviewed a 3D artist and gave an offer, which was the most satisfactory one he had ever met during this time, a clean and not good at talking, and even a little wooden young man. Ye Shenxi looked at the action works attached to his resume, and he was very skilled. It's just that the guy doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the treatment, and says he wants to go back and think about it.

Ye Shenxi is very aware of the competitiveness of the treatment he gives in the southwest region, but that buddy may have just arrived in Funan and does not know enough about the market here, and it is normal to shop around. Ye Shenxi believes that when he interviews a few more companies, he will naturally choose Qingyu Network.

The relationship between the company and the staff is to choose each other.,Speaking of which, the buddies don't usually play games.,I haven't heard of the "Eternity" milestone Pasca at all.,My name is not very good.。

With the first art assets in hand, ProjectW was finally able to start working towards its goal of the first version of the project, codenamed alpha.

Ye Shenxi also notified the whole group to hold a project meeting, mainly explaining the content of the version, the goal of this alpha version needs to be completed from creating a game account, logging in to the game, choosing a profession, creating a character, entering the game scene, talking to NPCs, entering the dungeon, encountering monsters and entering the battle. These are the most basic features in a game.

Since the previous framework has been largely completed, Ye Shenxi will set the version day for next Saturday, according to the current progress, then everyone may experience the first overnight overtime experience since the establishment of the project team, of course, if the quality of the version can be guaranteed, everyone can get the reward of not working overtime this Sunday.

After the project meeting, Ye Shenxi began to study a resume, which was a front-end program that he found with a headhunter friend he knew before, called Liu Jiehui, who is currently working in the Beijing Doushen Network, although it is a small company with a little-known name, but the performance of a page game called "Journey to the West" launched in the first half of the year is quite eye-catching, with a turnover of more than 3 million, which is a very good result.

Ye Shenxi has also experienced this game, although the planning and design are not mature enough, and the art performance is only unsatisfactory and has many defects, but the smooth game experience and good combat performance are the biggest reasons why this game can stand out.

And Liu Jiehui is responsible for the program of combat effect, because he was dissatisfied with his boss's failure to fulfill the promise of treatment after making money from the project, he began to submit his resume on some recruitment websites, and was soon noticed by headhunters. After a friend's introduction, Ye Shenxi found him directly, and the two also had a preliminary exchange on the Internet, and it can be said that Ye Shenxi has a very good impression of him.

At that time, when the headhunter told Liu Jiehui to introduce him to Pasca, who had developed "Eternity", his first reaction was that he had met a liar who formed a group, but he had the mentality that he couldn't talk about losses and couldn't be fooled anyway, so he applied to add Ye Shenxi's QQ friends.

He himself used to be a veteran player of "Eternal", and he also entered the top 50 on the server leaderboard, and even when he was a senior in college, he often skipped class to participate in game activities and team up with his teammates to farm bosses. Later, after work, I worked overtime every day, and I didn't have time to play games, so I slowly stopped logging in, and because the nature of my work was web game development, I also experienced more web games, and gradually gave up terminal games.

He has also left messages on Ye Shenxi's personal blog many times, expressing his love for the game and his admiration for Ye Shenxi, but Ye Shenxi has not replied to him once......

The conversation with Ye Shenxi was very pleasant, and he quickly determined that the person on the other end of the network was really Pasca, and from the other party's words, he could feel that that kind of understanding of the game industry and the game "Eternity" could not be disguised. And Ye Shenxi was also very satisfied with his initial impression, introduced him to the basic situation of the herring fish network and team, and soon directly invited him to come to Funan for an interview.

Liu Jiehui did not hesitate at all, and immediately booked a ticket to Funan, although his original plan was to stay in the capital and continue to look for a large company to seek a stable income and job, but even Pasca can leave the milestone and start over, what is he to hesitate. Moreover, Ye Shenxi directly said that he hoped that he could be in charge of the combat module, obviously he had studied him specifically and showed that he attached importance to himself, which was also what he was best at.

He asked the boss for leave and lied a little that it would take 3 days for his friend to get married, but the boss refused on the grounds that there could be no less people at the critical moment of the project, saying that he could only give 1 day at most.

"With the distance from the capital to Funan, a 3-hour flight and a 6-hour round-trip, plus wayfinding and interview time...... If departing at 6am...... Damn, I'm too lazy to calculate, I'm not used to it anyway! ”

The program ape is also angry, okay, this guy is also tough, he walked directly to the boss, slapped the resignation application on the table, and left naked.

His last words to his boss were: "I'm sorry, I have to attend this wedding." ”
