The virtual singer vocaloid is a circle that is not big or small.

Speaking of big, so big that almost no one doesn't know Hatsune Miku, this forever 16-year-old idol singer is always between being out of breath and not out of breath.

said that it is small enough, it is indeed small enough, so small that rumors like "Luo Tianyi takes drugs" can spread quickly, and shocked everyone, everyone is asking in shock: "Who is Luo Tianyi?" ”

Before the era when leather jackets such as Jia Ran and Akuya were popular, in fact, the virtual singer was the leader of the virtual world.

It was also in this era that the singer world also gave birth to many beautiful, dark, demonic, and lyrical songs.

The one Chen Ya is doing now, which he regards as the special theme song of "Sheep is a Sheep", is also the BGM used in the original version of "Sheep is a Sheep", which is this one: "Ordinary Disco".

Gu Yuqing crossed her legs and sat next to Chen Ya, her eyes watching Chen Ya write lyrics on PPT, and her hands were fast.

Because she looked so seriously, her face almost touched his shoulder. Some employees in the company naturally noticed the situation here, and they were secretly looking here, guessing the relationship between her and Chen Ya.

"On this ordinary day, I wear ordinary shoes and walk on this ordinary street ......"

"Take out your ordinary phone, find some ordinary feeling, and play my favorite ordinary music ......"

After watching it for a while, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but complain: "Saliva song, your lyrics are just to brainwash people, right?" ”

Chen Ya didn't answer, concentrating on PPT.

"It's also a bit interesting to look at the lyrics, and the song is really magical," Gu Yuqing said, "Although I don't know how to appreciate music and don't know what the quality of music is, I feel that it should be popular." ”

Chen Ya still ignored her.

In the V circle, more than 200,000 views are called palaces, and more than 1 million views are called legends.

For a long time, "Normal Disco" was the fastest track to reach the legend in the V circle.

At the same time, it is also the fastest track to reach 4 million plays, 5 million plays, and 7 million plays.

Up to now, this song has a total of 18 million playbacks, and it has successfully broken the circle and has been covered by Li Yuchun, Jia Ling, etc.

The author of this song, ilemonyk, is not only this song, but also "Dara Bang", "Song of Neurosis" and other brainwashing divine comedies are all his handwriting.

The main thing is a leg shake.

Of course, the choice of this song as the BGM of "Sheep is a Sheep" is considered for consideration.

This game focuses on a person who is anxious and anxious to get white-faced, and people who are obsessed with it will naturally have all kinds of advertising, many people play for three or five hours without stopping, and they have been losing all the time, and this song is very compatible.

Magical songs don't have any connotation, but they have the advantage that they won't get tired of listening to them. You may vomit, but you never get tired. You will hear PTSD, but you won't get tired. The fact that the people in the company shook their legs all morning is a good proof of this.

If you listen to this kind of song too much, it will develop to the point that as soon as you hear the prelude, the single loop will start in your brain, and the more you are in a quiet place, the more your brain will circulate. For example, exams. Make a trigonometric function, and inexplicably start "our ordinary shake~" in the brain.

Gu Yuqing threw away the headphones and said, "I can't listen to it, the more I listen, the more brainwashing I become, if I shake my legs when I talk about business, I will definitely settle accounts with you." By the way,I listened to the BGM of your game.,What about the game itself? Can you take a look? ”

Chen Ya finally made a ppt, cut the video, and is currently making a video cover, while saying: "Now it's a demo at most." ”

"Ready for a demo?" Gu Yuqing's mouth was wide open, she thought it was just some grass eucalyptus, how could she have thought that it would be so fast?

Chen Ya stood up and communicated with Ishikawa Dong for a while, and soon, he gave up his seat, Chen Ya beckoned to Gu Yuqing and asked her to come over and try the game.

Gu Yuqing stood up, and she suddenly felt very valued.

No matter how small the game is, it has to have a development cycle of more than ten or twenty days, only one or two days, and the game has made a leap from the completion of the project to the demo -

Gu Yuqing didn't think about how outrageous the development efficiency of this company was, what she was thinking about was, is this game so small?

She sat down at Ishikawa Dong's developer workstation and opened the demo file according to the instructions, Chen Ya pressed one hand on the table and the other on the back of her chair.

Soon, a green picture appeared in front of her eyes.

On the screen is a large meadow, and on the meadow, there is a herd of sheep that look mentally problematic.

The reason why it can be seen that these sheep have intellectual problems...... Because their eyes and tongue don't look right.

"Click on this place to start the game," Chen Ya explained, "and then click on the brick above, and it will enter the slot below, and if you get three of them, you can complete the elimination." ”

Because it is a demo, there is no novice guide, so Chen Ya can only be used as a commentator on the side.

After he finished speaking, he turned to Ishikawa Dong and said: "Add a novice guide, let the user go through this guide when they open it for the first time, make it more concise, and it will take 10 seconds to complete." ”

After listening to this, Ishikawa Dong looked up and thought about it, immediately took off a chair, sat down on the side, and began to write hard in his notebook.

Gu Yuqing had already completed the first level on her own.

There are only three kinds of bricks in the first level, and you can pass it no matter how you play, but Gu Yuqing didn't know, and honestly thought about the bricks in one location after another, and after clearing the level, she turned to look at Chen Ya happily.

"The first level has passed, is it that simple? I see that the cover still says super difficult games, deceptive, right? ”

Chen Ya raised his chin at the screen and said, "It's a lie, but it's not a lie in this place, you can play the second level first." ”

After that, he went to pour water by himself, and by the way, Qin Sulan, the leader of the art group, also called over to observe.

Gu Yuqing looked at it, and a large number of bricks had appeared densely on the screen, and there were as many as seven or eight kinds, which were not at the same level as just now.

However, she doesn't panic, she is very good at playing match-3 games, not to mention that this game she currently feels is much simpler than other match-3 games.

Qin Sulan walked over and stood behind Gu Yuqing stiffly, Chen Ya pointed to the screen and said: "Adjust the layout, put a date on the top forehead, and draw two dots below to indicate the number of levels." ”

Qin Sulan nodded and said, "Remember." ”

"This elimination trough is a bit monotonous, designed as the kind of trough used by cattle and horses to graze, and the overall style is more unified."

Qin Sulan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly lowered her head to write it down, believing in her heart that this boss understood.

"And then the icon hasn't moved yet, Ishikawa Dong, solve the tactile feeling of finger clicking, otherwise there will be no feedback." Chen Ya commanded.

"Roger, Brother Ya."

Chen Ya turned around again and said, "The brick design is not bad, but the icon design is almost something." ”

Qin Sulan blushed and said: "I studied painting, and I am not very good at designing." ”

"What style of art are you good at? Do you have any past works? ”

Qin Sulan rummaged through the photo album on her mobile phone and handed her previous works to Chen Ya to see.

When the two communicated, Gu Yuqing had gradually discovered the difficulties of this game.

The gap between the second and first levels of the entire game can be said to be at the Titan level - one at the feet of the Titans and one on top of the Titans' heads.

The difficulty of the two levels is almost like two games, and there are no gradients at all.

The first level is still a simple three-layer brick, and there are few types of bricks, pay attention to the order of elimination, and it is easy to clear the customs.

When it comes to the second level, it's different.

In the second level, she has found at least 8 layers, eliminated 3 layers, and can still see the layers below stacked between the layers of bricks.

Here's the difficulty of this game: if the bricks on the top layer are not removed, the bricks under the pressure can't be selected, and even if you see it, you can't choose it.

As a result, she had to put the bricks on the top into the slots first, but there were only 7 slots below, which she hadn't filled before, and she didn't know what would happen when they were filled.

Out of respect for the "Super Difficult" slogan on the game's cover, she decided to speculate on the game's mechanics with the worst malice, tentatively assuming that the slots below would die if they were full.

At first, the number of bricks was still large, but as the number of bricks in the first floor decreased, and it was often impossible to find a match.

She could see the same kind of bricks pressed underneath, and after carefully removing the top, she found that there was another layer on top of the target bricks, and her nose was crooked.

When it was eliminated to about the 5th layer, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but use a prop, and after eliminating a few more, she used another out-of-order prop.

So far, there is only one prop left, which is of little use to her, and the bricks on the surface are no longer able to be eliminated.

She pinched her fingers and calculated for a long time, and finally calculated that after filling the slot, she could just touch a brick of the same kind.

She moved the mouse, dotted and nodded, and finally, the slot below was filled.

Almost as soon as the slot was filled, a black dialog box popped up on her screen, with four big words written on it:

"The slot is full."

There is also a line of small words below: "Failure is the mother of success, and the son of the sheep is still waiting for you!" ”

Sheep son? What sheep son? Does this game still have a story mode, am I going to find my sheep son?

However, whether it is a sheep son or a pig daughter, Gu Yuqing can't take care of anything now, she only knows: she is very angry now!

"What a broken game!" Gu Yuqing slapped the mouse and turned her head angrily to settle accounts with Chen Ya, "Why did you die as soon as the slot was full?" I'm one brick away from living! ”

Chen Ya said: "The design is that there is nothing to eliminate in the 7 bricks, and the game will be over, if your last piece can be eliminated with the previous one, you can live, so remember to leave a blank." ”

Gu Yuqing said suddenly: "You said it earlier." ”

With that, she turned her chair around and clicked "Restart" against the screen.

Looking at Gu Yuqing's posture, Chen Ya felt as if she was going to be addicted.

"Xiao Shi, you go to work on the spare plane, I guess she still has to play for a while, you give her the computer first." Chen Ya said to Ishikawa Dong.

Gu Yuqing's eyes stared at the screen, and her mouth muttered: "It doesn't take a little, I can clear the customs this time, soon." ”

Chen Ya nodded at Ishikawa Dong and said, "Go ahead." ”

He was now sure that Gu Yuqing would definitely be addicted.

Generally, those who think they are smart and can clear the level right away will eventually fight the game for three or five hours before giving up.

That's psychology.

Sure enough, as Chen Ya expected, Gu Yuqing began to fight with this game.

Following Gu Yuqing's experience twice, Chen Ya had already explained everything to Shi Chuandong and Qin Sulan, and now the two of them are working overtime to improve.

Ishikawa's code is beautifully written, with few bugs, which is pretty incredible for normal program development. Chen Ya knew that there was a reason why the magic power was systematically exerted.

The development team is not in pain, it is the players who are in pain.

For the next two hours, Gu Yuqing fell into an endless struggle with this game called "Sheep is a Sheep".

The obvious experience of playing this game is that with each handover at the beginning, her cognition of the game has improved.

Because the bricks are highly distinguishable and easy to recognize, she makes fewer and fewer low-level mistakes.

But none of this helped her get through the game.

Should it fail, or should it fail.

Sometimes if you're unlucky, your results will be even worse than the first time you played.

And the most scary thing is that she felt like she was about to clear the customs several times, but as soon as she opened the bricks, there was another layer that was tightly pressed underneath.

The second level of this game is like a bottomless pit! There are infinite bricks distributed in infinite layers, and there is one layer after another layer is uncovered, and you can't see where the bottom is!

And there are too many types of bricks, sometimes there are no similar bricks in two or three layers, and in the end you can only fill the slots below.

Gu Yuqing played more than a dozen games in two hours, and every time she felt that she was about to win, but in the end she fell short, and when she came back to her senses, two hours had passed.

For the first time, she realized that playing games can also kill time like this.

"Shrimp crawling, you tell me," Gu Yuqing turned back to Chen Ya on the side and asked, "This game, is it completely a matter of luck to clear the level??" ”

Chen Ya put down his phone, raised his head to look at her, and said, "You should first ask me if this game can be cleared." ”

"Can this game be cleared???

"Basically, not." Chen Ya said, "There is only a 0.01% probability of clearing the customs, and it is only theoretical, if you want to say that it depends on luck...... And that's right. ”

"So you made a game that you couldn't beat at all? What do you make money on? ”

"Rely on deception, rely on sneak attacks," Chen Ya said as a matter of course, "Players will watch a lot of advertisements for the 0.01% success rate." It's really hard to imagine how much a creature like a player would pay to beat a level. ”

Gu Yuqing was covered in black anger: "Won't your conscience hurt if you do this?" ”

"Just say if you want to watch commercials and get props."

Gu Yuqing stood up, reached out and grabbed Chen Ya's neckline, and said murderously:

"Tell me, who came up with this idea?"

"It's me."

"I'll kill you!

”

Chen Ya was caught and shook for a long time, patting her back and begging for mercy, while saying: "We have a cracked version of unlimited props, can you play it?" The kind that is guaranteed to be cleared! ”

Gu Yuqing let go of her hand and said coldly: "Play." ”

……

……

After a long time, Gu Yuqing's mood finally calmed down.

But the deep psychological trauma caused to her by the game "Sheep is a Sheep" is estimated to take a long time to heal.

Chen Ya asked Ishikawa Dong to change the code to infinite props on the spot, which made Gu Yuqing feel refreshed, she drove all kinds of props, just to kill those bricks.

But as she got to the back, she felt more and more stupid.

Those few small bricks are almost endless, and I thought I had cleared the level soon, but in fact it was far from the end.

When there were only three or five bricks left on the final surface, the meadow became a real bottomless pit with an infinite number of layers underneath.

Gu Yuqing probably used more than 20 out-of-order props to put all the bricks on the slot, and there were many bricks that were not multiples of 3 and couldn't be eliminated at all.

But fortunately, a dialog box of "Congratulations on clearing the customs" popped up on the screen, and seeing this meaningless black frame, Gu Yuqing felt that his strength had been drained, and he fell down on the chair.

Therefore, in order to make up for her mental loss, at noon, Chen Ya invited her to dinner.

Chen Ya found her a fly restaurant that she usually goes to, but fortunately, although Gu Yuqing has never been to such a place with a low consumption level and countless stalls, she is not picky, and she even likes to eat the dishes when they come up.

"Although you are very annoying with this game, I have to admit that it really has the potential to explode." Gu Yuqing said, "When playing, the pleasure of match-3 is very high, and the gameplay will not get tired, if it can clear the customs, it will be a very good game." ”

Chen Ya said nonchalantly while masturbating: "The market doesn't need good games. ”

"Oh? You're crazy about what you're talking about, if you wait for the game to come out, the player will know that you have this attitude and will tear you apart. ”

"Players don't need a good game," Chen Ya said, "I can make 'Sheep a Sheep' into a beautiful game with 26 levels, a reasonable difficulty gradient, and a price of 10 yuan, but I can guarantee that there will be no more than 500 people who buy it." ”

Gu Yuqing turned her head to look at him: "So unconfident? ”

"Confidence is quite confident, I don't believe in the market," Chen Ya said, putting the sign on the table, "You see, the market logic is very cruel, the model I just talked about, the investment will be much larger than now, and the difficulty is much higher, but the profit model is three to four orders of magnitude worse, and this model is destined to be eliminated by the market." ”

Gu Yuqing looked at him with sparkling eyes: "You are very pessimistic about the market. ”

"No, I'm very optimistic about the market, and when the entire market competition is complete, it will be difficult for players to pay for shoddy games." Chen Ya said,

"This Sheep is a one-off, it's a hoax that consumes all the enthusiasm of players for this kind of game. Sooner or later, this kind of game will appear, so I'm willing to be the first villain. ”

Gu Yuqing said with a straight face: "With all due respect, I actually don't understand what you want to do, just with your game, it is still difficult to complete our goal." ”

"Really?" Chen Ya said softly.

"As you just said, this game can only harvest the enthusiasm of players once," Gu Yuqing put her hand under her chin, "Even if you can make a game like this in a week, we only have six months, and there are no fist-level products, do you really think you can win more than 1 billion profits?" ”

Chen Ya wiped his mouth: "I don't plan to make a lot of "Sheep and Sheep", this game will accomplish the purpose." ”

"You can't do it." Gu Yuqing said, "The current WeChat mini program is not in the expansion stage, they will not force a game of your quality, the characteristics of a game like yours are pitiful, and the player's desire to forward it will be very low." ”

Chen Ya took out his mobile phone: "So, I didn't plan to rely on WeChat applets, if I want to be popular, I still need a key step." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Shake people."

Chen Ya turned on the phone screen, clicked on the contact, then stood up and walked out of the small restaurant.

Gu Yuqing's eyes flickered.

At that moment, she saw the name of the contact page he had opened on his screen.

It is the three words "Jiang Xinhai".
