Top game producer

Wang Jian quickly got to work.

First, he started drawing the hero.

Fluffy hair, leather armor, boots that looked high-quality...

After roughly sketching the attire, he meticulously drew the protagonist's face.

He closed his eyes and reviewed the project proposal. 'Hmm, fair skin, delicate features...'

An hour later, the drawing was complete.

Wang Jian compared his drawing of the hero with the one he saw in the proposal and couldn't help but feel a bit down.

His drawing skills were still a bit lacking; the character he drew looked rather stiff.

If expressed using the system's ability panel, his overall ability would be C+, while his art alone might only be D+.

That's above amateur level, a notch below professional.

Although the main selling point of 'Devil King' was its concept, the art's contribution was relatively small.

That didn't mean the art wasn't important.

Good art can greatly enhance a game.

"Once the game is released and makes money, I must hire a high-level artist," Wang Jian sighed inwardly.

His attitude towards game development was always to strive for perfection.

However, with the current limited conditions, he could only do what he could for now.

"After finishing the game, the system seems to have rewards, right? I wonder if there are any items that can enhance my own abilities."

Speaking of the system, Wang Jian suddenly remembered that he seemed to have unclaimed task rewards.

Opening the taskbar, he indeed saw that the task reward for retaining employees was awaiting collection.

[Reward: One lucky draw chance (95% items, 5% game proposals)]

Wang Jian rubbed his hands together.

A roulette wheel appeared and began to spin rapidly, with all sorts of items flashing by.

Useful items, useful items...

He silently counted to three: "Stop!"

The roulette wheel slowly came to a halt, the pointer finally landing on a candy cane-like item.

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the item: Silly Fun Stick!]

What the heck is this Silly Fun Stick?

Wang Jian's expression turned gloomy.

Judging by the name, it seemed like a useless gag item.

With a thought, the specific function of the Silly Fun Stick immediately appeared in his mind.

[Item: Silly Fun Stick

Function: Makes the art style of a game you create even more silly and explosive.

How to use: Tap the game icon with the tip of the stick while chanting the spell 'Silly Silly, Endless Fun'.

Note: Hahahahahaha, what a silly thing!]

Wang Jian was thrilled after reading the item description of the Silly Fun Stick.

It was like timely help!

This item undoubtedly had a specific scope of use.

If used in a serious game, the final product would probably become awkward and out of place.

However, when used in conjunction with a comedic game, it could undoubtedly achieve a '1+1\u003e2' effect.

And 'Devil King' happened to be a quirky and humorous game!

He was just worried that his weak drawing skills would cause 'Devil King' to be of lower quality compared to the original.

With the 'Silly Fun Stick,' the most worrying art problem could also be solved!

Although when using it, he needed to chant a slightly embarrassing spell...

Compared to the joy of solving the problem, he generously ignored the system's little quirks.

Wang Jian threw himself into drawing with full energy.

A skeleton-faced Devil King in a flamboyant purple outfit, a female knight kneeling on the ground, her face pale from poisoning...

A morning quickly passed.

At noon, Wang Jian and Luo Shuai directly ordered takeout on "Eleme," wolfed it down, and continued working!

In the afternoon, Wang Jian drew a weapon merchant with a large head and a cunning look.

After finishing the drawing, he moved his sore wrists and stretched his body.

Concentrating on drawing like this continuously consumed a lot of mental and physical energy.

He was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

After all, he wasn't a professional artist. Even with the content in the proposal as a template, drawing was still a bit difficult.

So, Wang Jian decided to switch to a more relaxing background to draw.

Blue sky, white clouds, green grass...

While he was drawing, Luo Shuai said, "Boss, the task you gave me is done."

"Oh? Let me see."

Wang Jian took a look at the demonstration, and indeed, the game framework had been built.

Buttons such as level selection, scene transitions, and restarting could be used normally.

In Luo Shuai's demonstration level, there was a rectangle topped with a circle on a blank background, presumably representing the character, which was very abstract.

When clicked, a dialog box appeared below.

On the left was the character avatar frame, with a circle inside, and on the right, the text box displayed a string of randomly entered letters.

Dialogues could also be conducted normally.

Now, as long as the illustrations and text were entered and the corresponding click events were added, the game development would be complete.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"The framework is readily available; I just adjusted it slightly according to your requirements. Adding events has to wait until you finish drawing, so I have nothing to do now?"

Luo Haitao came over and looked at the blue sky and white clouds on Wang Jian's screen, very interested. "Boss, why don't I help you draw a little?"

Wang Jian glanced at him, somewhat speechless.

In the studio's overall strength, programming had 15 points, and drawing had only 10 points.

The programming points were Luo Shuai's contribution, and he should account for 9 of the drawing points.

He thought the blue sky and white clouds he drew looked simple? Hmph, too naive...

However, Wang Jian didn't say anything and made way for him: "Then try drawing a slime."

Wang Jian's graphics tablet was a student model he bought when he took an elective game art class. He only used it for a while back then, found it in the pile of junk last night, and brought it over with the computer this morning.

It was cheap, and the feel and brushstroke performance were mediocre, but it was enough for beginners.

"Okay," Luo Shuai picked up the pressure-sensitive pen with great interest and started drawing on the graphics tablet.

He first closed his eyes and thought for a while, then drew a crooked triangle.

After carefully examining it, he added a few lines in the middle of the triangle to represent the slime's eyes and mouth.

Wang Jian was suppressing a smile in his heart, still maintaining a calm expression on the surface: "Give the slime a yellow color, draw a golden slime."

While instructing Luo Shuai on which tools to use and how to color.

Luo Shuai nodded humbly and painted under Wang Jian's guidance.

A few minutes later, after finishing the drawing, he was dumbfounded: "What the heck did I draw?"

The crooked triangle with a few lines in the middle, looked like...

A pile of poop.

"As poop, it's drawn quite realistically," Wang Jian nodded seriously, then couldn't help but burst out laughing, tears streaming down his face!

Even though Luo Shuai's skin was thick, he still blushed a little and quickly deleted his "Golden Slime."

He accidentally added a black history.

He turned his head and gave Wang Jian, who was laughing wildly, a resentful look.

Boss, you're so mean!
