The development cycle of the entire game is very short, just like the short content of the game itself.
All the player needs to do is to control an old man on crutches, walk to a bench in the center of the cemetery, sit down and rest, listen to music and wait for the end of the game - the final death.
The scene used in the game, that is, the cemetery, was pieced together with free materials. The image of the old man took a little time, and Hao Yun used the game editor to barely make a face that looked like that.
Because he didn't plan to sell it for money, Hao Yun admitted that he was a little perfunctory when doing it. Finally, he applied a black and white filter, then went to the free music library to find a piece of music suitable for a funeral, and used his musical talent to fine-tune it. , and then synthesized such a nondescript game.
By the way, can this thing really be called a game
At least in Hao Yun's self-feeling, this thing is more like a crude 3D animation than a game.
But no matter what, I have handed over my answer sheet. I will find out whether it works or not by the end of the month.
Naming this program - or game, "Cemetery", Hao Yun simply wrote a few lines of explanatory text and attached it to the compressed package uploaded together.
[This is a game that makes people think about the meaning of life.]
"In this way, it can be regarded as echoing the theme."
Hao Yun didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted to be able to qualify for the finals, so that he would be able to do business with the dean.
It was still a while before dinner time, and he had nothing to do anyway. Hao Yun couldn't help but open the writer's backstage and take a look, and unexpectedly discovered that there was news from the editor
[Liu Ye: Hello, I am the editor of Xiake.com. Can I add WeChat? I want to talk to you about the work and signing.]
Finally signing a contract
Hao Yun, who had never been a writer before, was still a little excited. He immediately pressed the contact information of the author's background and added Liu Yeda's WeChat account.
Whether you sign or not is a trivial matter. The key is that only if you sign a contract can it be recommended, and only if you are recommended can it be seen by other readers.
Just rely on Lao Zheng's tap water to make everything good. It would be good if he didn't collect all the few he had, let alone let more people see it.
WeChat was just added, and a message was quickly sent from the other side.
It can be seen that Xiake.com still attaches great importance to him!
Liu Ye: [Hello, I am Liu Ye! Your managing editor.]
The owner of Huanzhu: [Hello, hello, I am the owner of Huanzhu! (baring teeth)]
Liu Ye: [Hello, host! Looking at your circle of friends, are you still in college?]
Does signing also depend on age and occupation
Seeing this line of news, Hao Yun hesitated for a moment, but still typed and told the truth.
[Uh, yeah, what’s wrong?]
Liu Ye: [Nothing, your writing is good, I just asked casually.]
The owner of Huanzhu: [Oh, it’s okay. Although I am still in school, I still have plenty of time. I will definitely update on time in the future! (baring teeth)]
Looking at the message from the other side, Liu Ye smiled and was about to send the contract when his thumb that was hanging on the screen suddenly paused again.
According to the next process, he should mention the signing of the contract with the owner of Huanzhu Tower.
However…
Editor Wang had told him before that he would not invest any resources in this book. If he just signed the book and left it to fend for itself, he would undoubtedly be harmed.
Especially the person who wrote such a masterpiece was still a student.
If because of his hasty behavior today, he watched his works disappear, completely lost confidence in writing, and stopped creating in the future, wouldn't it be a loss to the world of online literature and even martial arts novels
The same old habit I had when I was a reader happened again.
Liu Ye, who was passionate about talents, couldn't bear it. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and sent a message.
[The signed contract is here, but to be honest, I suggest you think about it again.]
This was something he shouldn't have said, especially not from an editor of Xiake.com.
Hao Yun was also confused when he saw this sentence.
He didn't expect that after the contract was sent to him, the other party actually asked him to consider it
What does it mean
However, before he could ask questions, the Liuye brother sent two more messages.
[To be honest, although our Xiake.com is the largest martial arts novel serial site in the industry, the competitive pressure here is also very high and resources are very tight. So even if you sign a contract now, you may have to continue working for a long time. My suggestion is that you might as well check out other websites, such as Sea Lion Reading. They are also working on martial arts recently, and they should be interested in your works.]
[I just mentioned it casually, just think about it and don’t take it too seriously.]
I can only say so much.
Whether he can understand it or not depends on himself.
After sending these two lines of message, Liu Ye waited for a while and finally saw a message coming back from the other party.
Huanzhu Louzhu: [Thank you then... I'll think about the contract signing again. (Awkward)]
Willow Ye: [Yeah! Come on! (Smile)]
To be honest, the original reason why he chose this industry was because of his love.
Otherwise, with his academic qualifications, he would definitely have a better choice, instead of just living a subsistence life like he does now.
Regardless of whether it was meaningful or not, he had saved a young man who was about to fall into a deep pit. Liu Ye felt quite satisfied with his righteous behavior.
The only thing that worries him is what if the kid listens to his words and ends up going to another station or not signing up
In this case, by refusing to sign him, wouldn’t he be doing something bad with good intentions
Thinking of this, Liu Ye suddenly felt uneasy.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of someone.
This person's name is Qin Jian, and his pen name is Seven Swords. He is the author of martial arts novels written by him a long time ago. In reality, the two of them have a good relationship, and they are relatively good buddies.
After that, even though Qijian stopped writing books at Xiake.com and instead went to work as an editor at Sea Lion Reading, a subsidiary of Youshang Sea Lion Group, and even became the editor-in-chief of the martial arts category, their friendship did not end.
In the past two years, due to the layout of the parent company in the film and television industry, Haishi Reading, as a content supplier, has been trying to develop a major category of martial arts. However, the readers who read this kind of articles are all on Xiake.com, and there is no such thing. I will go to Sea Lion Reading to find this type of book.
In Qijian's own words, he went to Sea Lion Reading to provide for his retirement. Anyway, the family has a big business, and his KPIs are not far behind.
Even so, Liu Ye could feel during several gatherings that this guy still wanted to do something in his heart, but because he didn't have the opportunity, he pretended not to care and laughed at himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Ye struggled for a while, but finally gritted his teeth, took out his mobile phone and called his good brother.
Anyway, I have already helped, so I might as well help until the end!
Although he himself felt that he was a bit nosy in doing so...
"Hello? Seven Swords, what are you busy with?"
"What else can you do besides eating at this hour? What's wrong, why did you suddenly think of calling me today?" Hearing the voice of his old friend, Qin Jian joked with a smile.
"Can't I call you if nothing happens?"
"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on?"
After a moment of silence, Liu Ye spoke.
"Do you have time to talk about novels?"
"Novel?" Hearing this unexpected answer, Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, "Are you planning to write a book??"
Originally, when he received the call at this time, he thought it was to borrow money, and he was even prepared to borrow money. But he didn't expect that it was actually a discussion about a novel
Can’t this thing be chatted on WeChat
"What I am writing is not my book," Liu Ye sighed and continued, "That's it. I recently read a novel that I thought was quite interesting, and I plan to recommend it to you."
"Hey, when did you become so generous?" Qin Jian said jokingly, "Aren't you afraid that I will poach your precious author this time?"
"Just dig it, hurry up, you're welcome."
"Wait a minute, you can't be so generous. I have to think about it... You must be hiding something from me."
Hearing the words of his old friend, Liu Ye was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly.
"I'll tell you the truth, I originally planned to sign this book, but Wang Ze had objections. The reason was the group KPI and the market trend. He meant that it was okay to sign the book, but the follow-up resources would not be considered. I was thinking about this I understand it's a scam, but if I sign it, wouldn't I be cheating them? I thought it would be better to recommend him to try his luck at your place."
"This Wang Ze is interesting," Qin Jian touched his chin, "Do you think this guy has any grudge against you? How do I feel... As long as it's a book signed by you, he will bury it for you if it's of some quality. Yeah, the people pushing it are all those who jump on the street just by looking at the title of the book."
Liu Ye: "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't offended him."
"That's hard to say, and sometimes being excluded doesn't necessarily mean you have offended someone," Qin Jian smiled, "You are the veteran of Xiake.com. When I was an author, you were the editor there, right? Now I heard that you are very good at KPI, and you are still doing some elimination. I guess this guy is worried that you will be promoted to editor-in-chief, and will take away all the writers and editors in the group."
Having said this, Qin Jian smiled maliciously and encouraged him while the iron was hot.
"How about you come to our Sea Lion to read? We have loose control of KPIs here, and it's not bad to live in retirement."
Liu Ye was silent for a long time after hearing his old friend's suggestion.
Probably guessing that his good brother was reluctant to leave his old club, Qin Jian sighed and smiled to ease the atmosphere.
"Forget it, I know you have your own ideas. Brother, I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you that there is still a way out. I will look back at that book and I recommend it so much. It must be a good book. "
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just my personal preference. My vision is no longer good now. If he really goes to your place, just give him a chance to prove himself..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not mix personal feelings when reviewing the manuscript. Don't worry about that!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jian put down the lunch box in his hand, opened WeChat and took a look at the title of the book sent by Liu Ye.
The Legend of Shushan Swordsman
The name seems quite ordinary, nothing special about it.
I logged into Xiake.com and searched for the title of the book, and then looked at the introduction. It was also unremarkable and I couldn’t tell much.
So far, he has not seen the potential of this book to be a big seller. Qin Jian can't help but wonder why his former editor is so optimistic about this book.
Maybe…
Is it the content
Full of questions, he opened the text and continued reading.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Immersed in it, he completely forgot about time.
It wasn't until the four big characters "To be continued" came into view, holding the chopsticks in his right hand, that he suddenly came back to his senses.
Damn it
Why is it gone after only nine chapters? !
At this moment, he was completely unaware that it was already dark outside the window.
And the lunch box on hand has already gone cold...
