Top game producer

"Little Xue, little Xue, do you know what kind of game we're making this time?"

Ye Meng found Bai Xueyao, looking all mysterious.

Seeing Wang Jian summon the planning team for a meeting, she curiously asked him if they were making a new game, and she found out in advance that it was going to be a horror game.

She was instantly excited!

Her favorite things are horror and eerie games, movies, and novels. Since middle school, most of the books on her bookshelf have been horror novels. After she started working and earning money, she even bought a projector to watch horror movies at home.

She also has a habit of watching horror movies only after 8 PM when it's dark, pulling all the curtains closed, and turning off the lights.

The level of stimulation increases several times compared to watching during the day!

Actually, it's not that she's not afraid, but she feels scared and thrilled at the same time!

It is because of this that she has a [Fierce and Malevolent] talent, which increases the horror level when drawing terrifying or ferocious monsters.

When she heard Wang Jian say that they were going to make a horror game, she was beyond excited!

Bai Xueyao shook her head, looking at Ye Meng with a confused expression: "?"

Ye Meng excitedly grabbed her hand: "It's a horror game! We're finally making a horror game!"

Bai Xueyao's face turned a little pale with nervousness.

She instantly recalled the time when Ye Meng dragged her to her house to watch a horror movie late at night.

Ye Meng rarely gets to invite her home, so to show her sincerity, she specially chose what she considered to be the most terrifying movie, 《Coconut》.

After watching 《Coconut》, Bai Xueyao didn't dare to turn off the lights when she went to bed for a whole week. She was also very careful when looking in the mirror or taking clothes out of the closet.

However, they are going to make a horror game next...

Bai Xueyao pondered silently: "Need…to find some inspiration…"

She looked at Ye Meng and said softly: "Mengmeng, can we go to your house and watch a horror movie today?"

She would never dare to watch a horror movie alone.

Ye Meng's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, you're very welcome! Don't worry, I'll be with you, you don't have to be afraid!"

Ye Meng's mind was already racing, thinking about which movie to use to welcome Bai Xueyao: "《Coconut 2》? No, Bai Xueyao seemed particularly scared last time. This is too stimulating for a beginner. I should watch the more relaxing 《This Female Ghost Is Obviously Very Beautiful But Likes to Live in the TV》."

Night!

In the pitch-black living room, the two sat on the sofa, holding their breath.

The movie was playing a thrilling part. The heroine stared at the videotape with some fear, hesitated for a long time, and put it into the TV.

The TV screen was full of white noise, making a "crackling" sound, which was annoying.

As the heroine pressed the remote control, the movie began to play, and strange pictures appeared: a sky with dark clouds covering the moon, a woman dressing up in front of a mirror, words flowing like water, a person wearing a white hood...

The background sound became even more eerie, like the annoying "buzzing" of mosquitoes, scaring Bai Xueyao's face pale. She turned to look at Ye Meng, whose face was full of excitement and anticipation?

Ye Meng reminded her in a low voice: "There's high energy here."

Bai Xueyao hurriedly covered her eyes, observing only through her fingers!

If you can't bear it, cover your eyes at any time!

Finally, an ancient well appeared on the screen, and this inexplicable video ended without any danger.

The heroine looked relieved, and Bai Xueyao also breathed a sigh of relief, putting her hand down.

However, after the heroine turned off the TV, she raised her head and seemed to see something, her eyes suddenly widened.

A white-clothed, long-haired shadow appeared on the screen, in the corner of the room!

She suddenly looked back, but there was nothing!

The heroine was suspicious and uneasy, turning her eyes, got up from the ground, ran to the sofa and grabbed her backpack, but a rapid "ding-ling-ling" telephone rang suddenly...

Ye Meng turned her head and said with a smile: "Actually, it's just a small high-energy part, it's not the real high-energy yet?"

Hearing no response, she waved her hand in front of Bai Xueyao, and exclaimed: "Um, Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you? Cheer up, Xiaoxue! The movie is not over yet!"

Bai Xueyao slumped on the sofa, with swirls of mosquito coils in her eyes, her mouth tightly pursed.

Looking closely, there were two words in her eyes: unbearable!

……

Inside the studio.

The planning team has already compiled the proposal for 《Corridor》, and the art, programming, and music departments have all received their respective assignments.

Bai Xueyao looked at the design document with some surprise, and thought silently: "This game doesn't have BGM?"

The document contains some requirements for sound effects.

For example, the "creaking" sound of the door opening, and the "rustling" sound of the radio, which are required to create a terrifying atmosphere.

……

Wang Jian hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision to use red lanterns!

Soon, the employees received the news, looking curious, and discussing it in whispers.

"Hey, is it real?"

"I also think it's too strange. This time, when we make the game, we have to block all the windows so that no light can get in, and not turn on the lights? We also have to hang a red lantern overhead to increase the terrifying atmosphere?"

"Isn't the reason clearly stated? Let us personally experience the horror and integrate this horror into the game. The boss shouldn't be joking about this kind of thing."

"Hanging a red lantern in a pitch-black room, it's scary just thinking about it..."

"Didn't they say that this time it's voluntary? If you don't want to do it, you can go to another game group. If you're willing, there's an extra psychological subsidy of 200 yuan a day!"

"Damn! Am I the kind of person who would succumb for a mere 200 yuan? Sorry, I really am."

"Poverty makes me unable to refuse."

Most of the employees actually felt that doing so was useless, and even a little stupid, but under Wang Jian's money offensive, they reluctantly accepted the reason that "making a better horror game by experiencing fear."

Okay, you're the BOSS, you have the money, you can do whatever you want!

First, cover all the windows with the purchased boards, turning the daytime into night, and turn on the lights for illumination.

Wang Jian, surrounded by the tool people, stepped on a stepladder and personally hung the red lantern.

He didn't want to hand over the job of hanging the lantern to others, mainly because the feel of the lantern was too strange, cold and elastic to the touch, and he was afraid of scaring people.

What kind of lantern is like this?

Igniting the candle in the lantern, the lantern suddenly emitted a faint red light, shrouding the studio.

【Red Lantern】: Within the range covered by the light of the lantern, when making games with the themes of "ghosts", "spirits", and "fear", the eerie and terrifying atmosphere +1%~5%, the degree of heart-pounding +1%~5%, inspiration +1%, the lower the brightness of the light source other than the lantern, the better the effect.

"Huh?"

Wang Jian immediately felt the difference, as if...the hidden fear in his heart was aroused.

Blood on the walls, eerie photos, dark and narrow rooms, faceless people in the shadows...

This fear originated from the heart, but it didn't make people afraid. Instead, it automatically associated with the game, and he began to think about how to apply the fear to the game.

"Turn off the lights! Close the door too!"

The studio was suddenly left with only a hazy red light, and strange expressions appeared on the faces of the tool people.

"I seem to have some inspiration!"

"I thought of the chandelier in the corridor. If we add a little shaking effect, it will definitely be more terrifying!"

"Amazing, this actually works?"

Wang Jian got off the ladder, patted his hands with satisfaction, and told the tool people: "Okay, let's start working!"
