Chapter 136 The true peak start of life!
The days go by.
Jingyue’s negative review training class is held once a week without fail.
From "the construction of emotions" to "the projection of group psychology" and then to "the value extraction behind the scolding"
In every class, we don’t teach you how to use software or how to stack data.
But after each get out of class, the participating employees had a strange look of contemplation on their faces.
It was like I had just been taught a lesson by reality, but I felt a little dissatisfied and wanted to continue listening.
At the same time, the "More Than Sunny" project team in the development room on the left side of the 33rd floor also quietly got on track.
Zhou Bowen, the project leader, travels back and forth between his office and dormitory every day.
"Come on, both of you, help me take another look at this part."
"Is this plot correct?"
"My mind is in a mess right now. I always feel like something is wrong."
In the dormitory,
Zhou Bowen sat at the conference table, holding the plot draft in his hand, looking worried.
The two girls opposite were eating potato chips out of boredom.
One is Tangtang and the other is Su Xiaonuan.
"This plot..."
Tangtang ate a potato chip and hesitated for a moment.
"What you wrote... is a bit like a Chinese youth idol drama."
"It's like that scene in an 8 o'clock drama where the heroine cries in the rain, and then the hero suddenly says, 'Have you been waiting for me?'"
“Vulgar!”
Su Xiaonuan also nodded,
"You're getting off topic. I'm here to play board games with you. Why are you discussing work with me?"
"Everyone in the country has to have a day off today!"
Zhou Bowen: “…”
He endured for two seconds, then finally sighed, slapped the plot draft, and slumped in his chair:
"So, how should I write it?"
"I really racked my brains."
"It's a pure text game, and it was developed very quickly. The key is to rely on the plot!"
The project direction of "More Than Sunny Days" was actually very clear from the beginning: pure text.
No animation.
No 2D rendering.
There is no voice actor's emotional value to match.
All fluctuations depend entirely on the text itself.
This is not the kind of satisfying game where a worker becomes a CEO or the protagonist takes shortcuts at the beginning.
Maybe it’s more true to reality.
But precisely because it is true, it is particularly difficult to write.
Tangtang curled her lips and put her feet on the coffee table:
"You have to write the ambiguity between the words, not just speak it out."
"Why do we play this game?"
"Who would read a story like, 'I love you, but you don't love me, but I love him'?"
"This isn't a dog-licking simulator!"
"You have to pull it!"
"Look at this girl's character. She has had eyes only for you from the beginning."
"No pursuit, no strategy, she already regards you as the only one"
"But your subsequent actions. Every answer, every silence, every rash decision, makes your relationship more fragile."
"But this distance cannot be eliminated."
"If the game starts with confessions, hugs, kisses, and 'how are you?' then it's not a love story. It's like pouring hot pot soup base into your mouth, and the player can't chew it."
“…”
Zhou Bowen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and while nodding, he picked up a pen and frantically crossed out the draft.
"Okay! I'll change it. I'll change it all!"
that's all.
A small dinner party that was originally just for help turned into a plot analysis meeting.
Tangtang and Su Xiaonuan each held a large bag of snacks.
In three hours, I finished two bags of potato chips, a box of matcha cake, and a double latte.
Zhou Bowen finished writing more than 20 pages of his own plot draft.
By the time the room quieted down, it was already one in the morning.
Su Xiaonuan yawned.
"I think I can charge."
"One third of your current plot is contributed by the two of us."
"Luckily I watch a lot of romance dramas!"
Tangtang smiled and patted his shoulder.
"This isn't friendly support; it's a personal test."
"Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, just label me as one of the testers of More Than Sunny Days."
"That's definitely no problem!"
…
Relying on two military advisors,
The development pace of the project team was also suddenly increased.
The plot is updated with 20,000 words a day, and the scene design is detailed to the paragraph level.
Zhou Bowen even made an "emotional curve chart" and hung it on the wall.
It marks the "emotional expected fluctuations" corresponding to each main plot node.
Different choices, different feedback.
The entire whiteboard was cluttered with densely packed sticky notes, arrows, stickers, and chalk drawings.
As the project entered its sixth week, the entire "More Than Sunny" project team expanded to ten people.
But there is still only one artist, Su Xiaonuan.
Although the game is purely text-based, someone has to design the cover image, chapter backgrounds, and even the layout style of the promotional pages.
Two days later,
At noon, the sky just cleared up.
As usual, Lu Ming was carrying his favorite soy milk and fried dough sticks, humming a tune as he passed by the 33rd floor.
When passing by the entrance of the development zone, I happened to see a group of people from the "More Than Sunny Days" project team discussing the plot around the big screen.
Lu Ming paused, then suddenly stopped and knocked on the door frame.
"Bowen, I heard you guys have been making good progress recently?"
Zhou Bowen looked up, was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up and greeted:
"Mr. Lu? Why are you here?"
"Mr. Lu, I can show you our current trial version. It's already possible to play the main storyline!"
Lu Ming looked expectant and immediately put down the fried dough sticks and rubbed his hands.
"Sure, we can play it now? You're pretty fast!"
"Then let's have some fun."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and sat in the middle seat.
There is a test machine on the table with the screen adjusted.
Zhou Bowen has already set the initial options for Lu Ming, so he can start the game directly.
Lu Ming smiled and calmly hit enter.
…
More than just sunny days
【The game begins.】
【The first day.】
【Today is a special day.】
【You finally returned to this city. 】
【They are all waiting for you. 】
[When you wake up, you find your phone full of unread messages——]
【"What are you doing"】
"Would you like to have dinner together tonight?"
"I'll wait for you at the old place."
"Aren't you going on that road trip you mentioned earlier?"
【……】
The screen refreshed line by line, as if someone was tapping on my heart with all their heart.
They are all greetings that are so familiar that they can’t be more familiar.
While looking at the screen, Lu Ming subconsciously opened the address book.
I then discovered that there was a row of people’s portraits at the top of the address book.
Then, a simple relationship table popped up.
Current Character:
1. Tsundere, childhood sweetheart, Lin Qianqian (favorability: 100)
[2. Cool and Aloof Female CEO Chen Zhishuang (Favorability: 100)]
3. Soft and cute girl next door Bai Jinhe (favorability: 100)
4. Rational, High IQ, Song Lili (Favorability: 100)
5. Literary Crazy Critic·Painter·Jian Shi (Favorability: 100)
【……】
Below the address book, there is a line of small words:
——【They were once your closest people.】
Lu Ming leaned back in his chair and took a few sips of soy milk. Tun tun tun…
"Tsk, this kind of treatment...how many worlds did I save in my previous life?"
This is a real harem situation from the beginning!
Yi Shui has a 100 favorability rating.
A destiny of existence.
One can’t help but sigh: This is the pinnacle of life.
Zhou Bowen laughed secretly on the side.
"Mr. Lu, please choose one! Try it out!"
"If you still don't think the characters in your address book are enough, you can also choose to meet someone by chance when you go out. They also have 100% favorability!"
"Locations include basketball courts, swimming pools, pet stores, etc..."
“There are many styles of…”
"Of course, you can choose just one!"
