Hot searches are still happening.

Soon, someone who was interested found out that the company Lin Muchen worked for was actually Chenxing Technology, the leader in the field of social software!

This aroused the curiosity of countless people, but after learning that this was their own company, they quickly lost interest and began to discuss what the "stand-alone game" circulating on the Internet was.

This game has attracted great attention even before it came out, and even caused some industry insiders to speculate on the future industrial layout of Chenxing Technology.

Chenxing Technology, which is in the midst of the storm, is unusually quiet and has never responded directly to this matter.

It's not that Lin Muchen doesn't want to take advantage of this popularity, but for making games, being in a busy city is really not as good as living in seclusion in the mountains.

His philosophy is not to let fame and fortune influence your thoughts before making a game.

So everyone is still commuting to and from get off work normally, without any changes.

But starting from the next day, his co-pilot had a special passenger.

Lu Luoxin has always been very restrained, insisting on paying him the fare according to the taxi fare, with a "don't take it if you don't accept it" attitude.

Lin Muchen had no choice but to accept it.

However, the work attitude of the girl with black silk stockings and cat ears cannot be overemphasized. After receiving the manuscript pattern, she spent several days discussing game details with members of Lingmei Studio, including action design, UI display, etc.

After all, for them, there are many challenges in transitioning from pixel games to graphic-based 2D games.

Talking about action design alone, when they make pixel games, they never have to consider what to do with those points, or even the crouching posture of the character, they just make the pixel points jumping around.

But "This War of Mine" is different. If you want to bring players into the game, the characters must at least behave like human beings.

You can’t have a protagonist who can only move his two arms and walk and jump around, right?

That's not a human, that's a zombie.

Not to mention basic movements such as squatting, standing up, and rummaging, even the characters' actions such as eating and drinking, holding their foreheads and sighing, supporting their knees when tired, making tools, breaking down and crying, and encouraging each other, etc., must be made one by one.

Moreover, according to the design draft provided by Lin Muchen, the twenty-eight characters each have their own characteristics and personalities. They must design small actions that suit the characteristics of the characters for different characters.

For example, negotiator Katya will drink water when sitting on a chair or sofa, and when the player orders her to stand up, she will spill water on the ground.

This is an action that most other characters don’t have.

It seems very troublesome to fiddle with the movements of a character alone, but these details are the parts that impress players the most and are essential.

Although Lin Muchen has outsourced most of the scene design manuscripts, they still have to do the character design and action design themselves.

Pang Ren, the boy in charge of original painting design at Lingmei Studio, was extremely busy and complained to Lin Muchen more than once, asking for more manpower.

In this regard, Lin Muchen was helpless.

Now that the New Year is approaching, even if someone is looking for a job, they will definitely come after the New Year.

But in the end, someone stepped forward and helped Pang Ren take some of the pressure off.

After Wu Ruixue heard about the shortage of people in Lingmei Studio, she took the initiative to ask Ying to join and become the studio's art designer.

Lin Xiaomo also didn't expect that this little girl who usually kept a low profile would actually be good at painting.

With the addition of painters, the painting speed of their original manuscripts has become faster visible to the naked eye.

Lu Luoxin also prepared a large pile of information, and even took a thick volume of pre-made notes.

Now, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

......

In the last week before the Chinese New Year, Lin Muchen held the last meeting before the holiday.

"So, the red envelope function is difficult to implement?" Lin Muchen asked with a frown.

Jian Guang shook his head helplessly: "Sir, if you want to realize that function, the funds must stay in our company. This involves the issue of third-party fund guarantee, and we do not have the authority."

"After all, we are a small company with such a small size. Even if we apply, it will probably be difficult to pass."

Lin Muchen was helpless.

When it comes to financial issues, strict management is reasonable.

But in the red envelope business, Feige must take advantage of it. This is a powerful tool to consolidate its position.

If you want to pass the application, the simplest and most difficult way is to make the company bigger and stronger. Once it has enough scale, it should be easier to apply.

"You still have to speak with your strength!"

Lin Muchen sighed secretly: "Then let's put this project aside for now. By the way, how is the [Singularity] engine?"

Mentioning this, Jian Guang showed a smile on his face: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"

From not understanding it at the beginning to successfully producing the finished product in the end, only they themselves know the hardships involved.

Of course, the production process is also thanks to the technical staff of Lingmei Studio. Without their guidance and suggestions, the finished product would probably be very difficult to use.

"But there is another problem, that is, the production time is too short, and the software will definitely have bugs. You should pay attention to this."

The technicians at Lingmei Studio nodded one after another. They were also mentally prepared. After all, the engine development time was too short. If there were no bugs, it would be a disaster.

But they at least have a game production tool. Although its reliability is unknown, compared with when they developed pixel games and all the code was typed out line by line, it is simply a shotgun.

This is the benefit of having a well-funded parent company. Self-developed engines are something that game studios cannot do anyway.

"Okay, then put it into use as soon as possible. We will start construction after the new year," Lin Muchen nodded, "We have to move quickly. I hope it can be completed before the end of May."

End of May!

The members of Lingmei Studio suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

It took nearly three months from the time they returned after the Chinese New Year to the end of May. Although they had done a lot of preliminary work, no one was sure whether they could complete it on time.

Lu Luoxin gritted her teeth: "Don't worry, boss, we will do our best and won't let you down!"

Isn’t it just two and a half months?

The worst case scenario is staying up late and working overtime...

Lin Muchen coughed lightly: "There's no need to work so hard, our company doesn't have an overtime culture, just try your best."

Jian Guang: "..."

You didn’t say that when I was doing Flying Pigeon and Singularity!

"Okay, now that we've got down to business, do you have anything else to ask?"

Everyone relaxed all of a sudden.

College students are relatively "shy" and dare not ask questions in meetings, but others have no such concerns.

"Sir, how much will our year-end bonus be this year?" Jian Guang asked first.

Unlike other companies with "strict" rules, Chenxing Technology has never objected to everyone discussing salary.

Lin Muchen was surprised and said: "Didn't my mother tell you?"

The financial power of the company has always been controlled by Xiao Shiying. According to her, this kind of matter is too sensitive, and at least her family must keep an eye on it.

So when it comes to year-end awards, she should be the one with the most say.

Everyone shook their heads, and an aunt smiled and said: "Sister Xiao, you are so mysterious, you won't even say a word!"

Lin Muchen thought for a while: "Then I won't say anything anymore. Let's just treat it as a New Year surprise for you. According to the company's performance this year, your bonus will be inevitable, so don't worry."

Jian Guang smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you might as well not say anything..."

Now I’m looking forward to it even more.

Looking at those longing eyes, Lin Muchen had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, I don't want to give you a surprise, um... I'll just talk about Uncle Guang."

Everyone’s ears suddenly pricked up.

"Uncle Guang is the project leader, so the bonus he received should be the largest. If I remember correctly, it should be seven figures."

"I won't say much else, you can guess for yourself."

The conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Not to mention the college students who had just joined the company, even the old employees looked shocked and confused.

Jian Guang's face was slapped severely after being named.

Lin Muchen's words are constantly echoing in everyone's head.

Seven...seven digits?
Chapter completed!
