Chapter 106: So Natsume decides to learn to draw, or find a painter
As soon as she turned off her phone and put it back in her bag, Amamiya Chizuru raised her head and wrinkled her cute little nose and took a few breaths, as if she was holding back her tears, but in fact she was relieving her sadness.
"Don't talk about it, it's all over anyway." She pinched her waist with both hands: "I just don't like Hokkaido, I won't go again in this life!" β
"The people of Hokkaido are very sad to hear this." Naoki Natsume quipped.
"You applied for clubs just to find a classroom in school to write games?"
"It's not just that, it's more convenient, and second, I want to find a few like-minded classmates to help me." Naoki Natsume counted with his fingers: "A game requires a lot of things, and I can only write code, but what about some vertical drawings or CG production?" What about the color design of the character's clothing? Looking for those two-dimensional characters from the Internet? If you lower the requirements at the beginning, the quality will only drop again and again. β
"So...... Do you know how to draw and want to find someone who can draw to help you, and you can't design characters and want to find someone who can design for you? β
"After I really got started, I realized that it was difficult to make a game alone, and there were too many things to juggle." Naoki Natsume said, "It's always better to have a team than to go it alone. β
Amamiya Chizuru thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "Then wait until you apply for the club first, I promised you to join your club...... If so, then as a member of the club, I can barely guide me on the problems of costume design and character design. β
Naoki Natsume was stunned when he heard this: "You still have this?" β
"Do you think I design clothes with clothes racks propped up?" Amamiya Chizuru stroked her hair and said with an expression that I was a professional, "Plus I've played so many games......"
"Butter."
"Can you suffocate without explaining this?"
"You go on, you go on."
"I know a thing or two about how to design characters that are unobtrusive but astringent, so you just need to find another artist to draw the 3D characters I designed."
"I'm proficient in modeling software, and if you make a 3D game in the future, I can help you model," says Amamiya. β
"Shura Warrior God"
"Found a treasure!" Naoki Natsume suddenly grabbed her hand, looking very excited.
"Ahem, hand!" Amamiya Chizuru coughed lightly and squinted her eyes at him: "Except for the perverted senior who is hungry and astringent, your behavior is equivalent to playing hooligan!" β
"I'm sorry!" Naoki Natsume hurriedly let go of his hand, he was a little overjoyed just now.
Amamiya Chizuru snorted softly to express her disdain and arrogance, but the residual warmth on the back of her hand made the corners of her mouth unconsciously rise.
"It's pretty warm."
"What warmth."
"It's your hands...... Diehard! β
Amamiya Chizuru stretched out his small fist and knocked on his brain: "Useless thing...... Two punches to you! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At noon, I went home to have some food and take a nap, and Naoki Natsume started his work in the study that Asai had cleaned up.
Now that the prototype of the game is almost done, although it is still very crude, it is very surprising that a sophomore can make such a game on his own.
He made an RPG mini-game with JAVA and Web, a 2D side-scrolling turn-based system, adding card drawing elements, and reserving a lot of vertical painting and CG space in various plots and battles.
This is the usual measurement used by game companies at the beginning of the 21st century, such as the first versions of Pokemon, such as red, yellow, blue, and green in the first generation, gold, silver, and crystal in the second generation, and ruby, sapphire, fiery red, chlorophyte and so on in the third generation.
There is also the pinnacle of the same work, "The Phantom of Darkness".
At that time, the game volume couldn't be done, and there was no way to make an open world or a big world real-time strategy, so most of them were pixel art, big world trigger battles, and then turn-based games to reduce memory usage.
Today's PokΓ©mon players generally react that the sequel to the Switch machine is not fun to pull the crotch, because the game quality and special effects were not good, so they can only work the plot.
Two months ago, he had been planning to make 3D games, and he thought that modeling was the mainstream now, but a chat with Chizuru Amamiya in Akihabara made him understand that a game is good as long as it can make players feel fun.
As for the battle CG, card drawing, plot branch to change the ending, etc., it is inspired by butter.
He doesn't shy away from this, after all, those who make butter are the real masters of the game...... The butter is too big for no one to order, too delicate and costly, so they dig out their minds to omit unnecessary things in every place that can be omitted, and spend the money on the cutting edge.
To put it simply, it doesn't matter if the game is garbage, as long as it's astringent enough, someone will pay for it!
For example, "The Night of the Witch's Revenge" has the same operating feel as a piece of, and the real-time defeat calculation and scene interaction that are regarded as miracles by players in the industry.
There is also a large number of high-quality CGs in "The World Cloth Demon" that is comparable to anime.
Even Steam's highly rated "mirror" and its promising future mirr's "Seek girl series" and the solo work next door Wang.
These critically acclaimed games have made Naoki Natsume understand a very grim fact -
He needed a skilled painter, or he had to start learning to draw right away.
It's about whether or not your game can win a prize at the school festival!
So he put aside the clueless code, turned on his computer and searched for one of the more famous painting training institutions in Tokyo.
To learn, it is best to go to offline school, search for courses online, and the first dozen or so are all advertisements, which gives him a headache.
The minutes ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.
The maid who had taken a nap yawned and came out of her bedroom, the new bedroom was really comfortable, and the bed was soft, so that the strong-willed as she slept for five minutes longer than usual.
Stretching his waist and putting on a heavy maid outfit, Asai was about to go out to buy groceries, but as soon as he left the bedroom door, he saw that the door of the study, which was originally a grocery room, was not closed.
"Although I don't mean to disturb you, I remember that Natsume-kun has a class at three o'clock, right?"
Asai knocked on the door, leaned against the door and looked at Naoki Natsume, who was huddled in a small space, and rubbed his eyes elegantly and said, "And don't forget to put on your swimming gear and go to the swimming pool at night to meet your good senpai...... Remember to pretend to be natural when you encounter chancely. β
Naoki Natsume was shocked and looked back at the time in the lower right corner of the desktop, there was still an hour left for class!
"Forget it, thanks to your reminder, you will be late if you delay for another twenty minutes!"
Naoki Natsume hurriedly got up and went to his bedroom to pack his school bag, stuffed his swimming trunks and swim cap and the swimming goggles he just bought, and stuffed the textbooks for the afternoon class.
Asai looked at his busy back and didn't know what he was thinking, then raised an eyebrow and turned into the study to clean up the table for him.
"Huh?"
Glancing at the computer desktop, she saw a search in the search bar with the words "Tokyo Amateur Painting Training".
Standing up and glancing at Natsume Naoki who was still tidying up in the bedroom out of the corner of her eye, the little maid quickly opened the browsing record and glanced twice, then turned it off.
"I may not come back to eat tonight, I'll try to ask my senior sister to have dinner at school...... You don't have to leave me food! β
Naoki Natsume's voice came from behind, and he rushed over to say a few words to Asai, and then hurried downstairs.
"Painting Training ......"
She took out the business card from her pocket, looked at it, and used it as a small fan to fan the wind.
