Chapter 54: Empathy

The reason why I told Wen Meng in such detail was that I wanted to teach her more about what to consider when designing a game, and secondly, of course, I wanted her to be a tool person, and he directly threw the big framework of the game to Wen Meng to do, because he had to worry about music and art, and the simple job of the game framework was just right for her to practice.

Anyway, Monument Valley is also in the late commissioning stage, so it's just right to find something for her to do, so that the college bully has nothing to do, and she is not sure.

I'm really an empathetic person. Gu Feng thought.

After explaining what Wen Meng needed to do, he found Li Lan again and asked her to send a recruitment message, he made a big move this time and needed to recruit a lot of art talents.

Specifically, there are 1 character concept artist, 1 scene concept artist, 1 3D model designer, 1 special effects designer, 1 UI designer, and 1 3D scene modeler.

As for the main beauty, he doesn't need it for the time being, he thinks that although his art level can only be regarded as average for the time being, his vision and experience are definitely better than others.

Anyway, there aren't many games yet, so it's not a hassle for him to take care of all the art stuff himself.

He also sent a copy of the requirements of each position directly to Li Lan, and the interview process is still the same, she is in charge of the matter, and Gu Feng is in charge of the technical side.

Gu Feng's recruitment criteria are very different from those of other game manufacturers.

Others require 2 to 3 years of work experience at every turn, and positions like Jumei even require at least 5 years of work experience, and they must also have successful project experience.

Gu Feng is completely different, his recruitment criteria are very simple, send works, and indicate the duration of creation. There are no other requirements.

The hero does not ask where he comes from, he is willing to give those who are talented and capable a chance to prove themselves. For him, professionalism and productivity are the qualities he wants to be a staff member in the art team, and after these two standards are met, he must also have a high enthusiasm for games, which of course, can be learned in the interview.

In the next few days, Gu Feng was busy with the dance line, and he didn't plan to directly put a dozen or twenty levels into it at one time during the first public test, but just put about ten for the time being.

The frequency of early updates can be slightly higher, and after the number of levels and the number of users accumulates, the update speed can be slowly slowed down until the final update speed is maintained at a stable update speed.

And if he did this, he wouldn't have to come up with a whole bunch of scores at once, which would be too terrifying.

After all, the piano is the king of musical instruments, not to mention the arrangement, and there are indeed many high-quality piano music levels in the original work, which is the best way to start the early stage of the game.

Of course, there is another reason not to mention it, Gu Lan is good at string instruments, Jun Zilan is proficient in piano, anyway, doesn't Jun Zilan always feel that it is not practical to accept his songs, and now it is just right to give her a solid opportunity. After all, he is an empathetic person

After some final screening, the first version of the level to be launched was finalized, namely: The Piano, The Winter, The Plains, The Storm, The Desert, The Autumn, The Chaos, The Time, and The Sky.

There are a total of nine levels, the quality of these nine levels is at the upper middle level in the original work, and the difficulty is also appropriate, there is an introductory time, a simple piano, a dream in the sky, a little bit of a cold winter, fields, storms, deserts, and a more difficult autumn, known as the chaos of the devil's level.

Although there are only nine levels, it is enough for players.

The duration of these nine songs is basically between one and a half minutes to two and a half minutes, and he only used one memory jelly bean to go through them all in his head.

After writing all the scores, he thought about it, and for the sake of safety, he deliberately folded these pieces of paper and then spread them out and crumpled, and then deliberately made the paper look different from the old and new, and he was still very professional in doing this kind of thing.

The matter of the song did not take much effort, and his main work in the past few days was still spent on the design of the art style and some special effects.

Depending on the tune, the style and tonality of the level are naturally not completely consistent.

Levels like Time, Piano, and Sky Dream are definitely best styled and expressed in an abstract, aesthetic, and connotative way.

Storm, chaos, winter, the tone of the tone is more somber and melancholy is more realistic style is better, and autumn, fields such as the level is naturally to express the beautiful scenery to the extreme, the characteristics of autumn, fields and some things that people are easy to associate with when they are mentioned.

The original work did a good job in these levels, all he needs to do is to upgrade the special effects and picture quality of 5 cents to 500,000 or even 5 million, on the basis of hardware performance without worry, how much ability, how high he has to do.

There are dead cells to prove the strength of the studio, coupled with the relaxed recruitment conditions, Li Languang has been busy enough in the interview in the past few days, but fortunately, the results are quite gratifying, except for UI, several other positions have recruited satisfactory candidates.

5 new employees, except for the special effects designer and 3D scene modeler are men, the two original paintings and 3D character modelers are girls.

The studio currently has a total of nine people, 3 men and 6 women, with a ratio of 1 to 2.

However, this situation can be regarded as a happy one, girls are happy to have a few more people with common topics to chat, not to mention men, full of enthusiasm and motivation.

This is the case in the game industry in this world, and it is quite normal for the art team and music group to have more people than the design team, development team, and testing team.

After all, the advanced level of intelligent programming allows development and testing to be able to do everything in one way, but drawing, modeling, and post-processing of sound effects are obviously not technologically advanced that can greatly reduce the demand for manpower.

Gu Feng carefully explained their next tasks to everyone, and he sent a compressed package to everyone, which contained various concept drafts, art needs, etc.

The so-called mule is a horse that can be known when it comes out, whether it is Gu Feng's detailed explanation, or the detailed concept draft, or the meticulous and clear art needs.

It is enough to make everyone sigh in their hearts that they are worthy of being the top students of the Imperial Capital Art Academy, and they are worthy of being the men who designed happy and dead cells.

It's the same for those who do game art.,I'm most afraid of a lot of things from my superiors.,There's no real need for bullshit.,In the end, you think you understand.,Full of confidence to hand in a version.,As a result, the boss's face is wrinkled like a rag.,This is not satisfied, that is not satisfied.。

Then you start to get stuck in a tormented cycle of hitting back changes and commits and getting sent back, and maybe even the most painful scene for all artists.

"Let's use the first version."

Presumably, not only game artists, everyone who does design will not be unfamiliar with this sentence, when your superiors say this sentence casually or compromisedly or seriously, they must not have imagined that at that moment, they are one step away from death.

A knowledgeable superior like Gu Feng even directly made the concept draft and the requirement description clear, and they only had two words in their hearts.

Comfortable!

Seeing that the brothers and sisters in the art group had a clear goal and started working seriously, Gu Feng returned to the office with satisfaction.

Where can I find an empathetic boss like me? He thought narcissistically.
