Chapter 212 Everyone, Everyone, Everyone, Everyone, Everyone
The next day, at Jingyue Company, Lu Ming’s office.
Liang Cong sat opposite Lu Ming, looking apprehensive. After sitting for a while,
He felt that he was sitting too upright, so he secretly moved back a little.
He hasn't been to Jingyue office for a long time. He has been busy with graduation matters recently.
It was only in the last few days that I finished everything and graduated successfully.
Moreover, thanks to the income from "Who Owes Whom", he has become very wealthy recently, and then he successfully joined Jingyue.
He hasn't adapted to the fact that he is no longer a foreign aid consultant.
Across from him, Lu Ming looked up at him and said calmly:
"Cong, there's a new project, and I'm planning to let you take the lead."
Liang Cong stared at the spot, even wondering if milk tea had entered his ears.
Because he had just arrived at the company, he saw that everyone in the company had
There are all kinds of lemon sugar milk tea,
Before he finished drinking, Mr. Lu asked him to come to the office.
"M-leader? Me!"
"Yes, you."
"I'm a recent graduate student!"
“Didn’t you just finish “Who Owes Whom?”
"You're not a novice..."
"Mr. Lu, is this the 'responsibility' I understand? Not 'participation'? Not 'assistance'?"
"Yes, it is the leading direction throughout the whole process."
Lu Ming leaned back in his chair, his tone light and airy.
"This time, you will be fully responsible for our new Jingyue project! You will lead the team alone!"
Liang Cong was stunned on the spot.
I was so flattered that I started to question my life.
Liang Cong took a while to calm down.
"Don't worry, you have project experience!"
"I'm confident in leaving the new project to you."
“…”
Don't worry, I'm not!
Liang Cong took a while to calm down.
"Mr. Lu, what kind of project is this?"
"Horror game."
“???”
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and glanced at him:
"What does that expression mean? Are you scared?"
Liang Cong shook his head like a rattle, but his expression became a little more confident inadvertently.
"No, Mr. Lu, horror games are indeed very interesting!"
"A ghost in a dark room... A haunted room... A ghost looking up... A ghost under the bed..."
"Mr. Lu, there are really many ways to play horror games!"
“…”
Seeing Liang Cong's reaction, Lu Ming was also stunned!
Good job!
This is the first one that got me interested in horror games!
This is also the first person so far to say that horror games have many ways to play!
I really found the right person in charge!
They also say that horror games are difficult to develop, aesthetic fatigue, and short life cycles are all bullshit!
That means you haven't met the right person.
Now you see, I said that the gaming industry needs young people,
Liang Cong is a pretty good guy!
"Okay, tell me what you think first!"
Across from him, Liang Cong's eyes lit up.
I originally thought it was unfamiliar territory, but if you’re into the horror genre, he knows it all too well!
In the past, when I was in school or in the laboratory, whenever I couldn’t complete a project,
His way of relieving stress is to watch horror movies.
On weekends, I'll drag my roommates to play horror story killing games.
This is all experience!
soon,
He usually hesitates when speaking.
When it comes to terror, Liang Cong is very knowledgeable.
The whole person's speech speed also unconsciously became faster:
"Mr. Lu, you know what? I've been wanting to say this for a while now. The horror games on the market right now are just too, too, too boring!"
"Still using that thing with the lights off, the floating shadows, the sudden faces, and the sound effects that startle you!"
“They’re all scary ghosts!”
"Think about it, what is horror? Scaring people with ghosts? I got tired of that stuff ten years ago!"
"The truly terrifying thing is people scaring people!"
Lu Ming nodded.
“I have an idea.”
"Go on."
Liang Cong suddenly opened the floodgates like a faucet:
"Mr. Lu, you see, most horror games nowadays have basically linear narratives, either focusing on puzzles and progression, or focusing on atmosphere and sound effects."
"The problem is, this stuff scares you once, it's okay, it scares you twice, but after the third time, players just turn off the sound."
“The later the game progresses, the less players feel.”
“But people are different!”
"You never know whether the person sitting next to you is actually a human being or just something in human skin."
"You thought he was a teammate, but he was actually attracting monsters."
"You think he's helping you, but he's actually leading you astray."
"You think he's as afraid of ghosts as you are, but actually, he's the ghost."
"It's like everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone..."
"If we could add the variable of 'people' to horror games, even without any context, it would be much more useful than footstep echoes and flashbacks!"
"So, Mr. Lu, my idea is to create fear between people!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"You mean... psychological games?"
"right."
Liang Cong continued,
"Mr. Lu, I'm not thinking of the kind of experience where you turn off the lights and put on headphones and get startled."
"But while you're playing, you suddenly start to doubt your trusted teammates."
"You say a word, and suddenly there's a cacophony of noise from the other side."
"You open a door and find your teammate lying on the ceiling."
“Horror is not just created by sound effects, images, and atmosphere.”
"It is made from 'human'."
"So, Mr. Lu, my idea is not to make a standalone game!"
"We want to make an online horror game where players can interact with each other, there's deception and twists, that's what makes it fun!"
"good!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up slightly.
That's right.
That's right.
I think the same as myself!
This is the project leader he is looking for.
What a talent!
"Cong, you're right! The fear created by the players themselves is the most real, the most uncontrollable, and the most contagious!"
"I agree with you. This game must be a highly interactive online game!"
“The most important thing is interaction.”
"The life cycle of a single-player game is too short. After a few hours of scaring people with ghosts, the novelty wears off! After a few hours of this experience, the game is over."
“Only by playing online can players continue to invest.”
"It can create complex emotions, conflicts, and even actively spread them."
"We want players to experience fear, doubt, isolation, and collapse through their interactions with others."
"The more vague it is, the less I believe it."
"Also, I have an idea. For this kind of online game, we don't have a fixed number of participants!"
"Because you have five or ten people, players can probably figure out who is who right away."
"So, we just need to set a limit, no more than a certain number of people in a game, and then assign different identities."
"Players can't even see the number of people online in a game, because the unknown is also a kind of terror!"
"Four people go in, five people come out. This is the scariest place!"
"Imagine a confined space with several people, none of whom know each other. All they know is that 'some people are not human,' but they don't know how many people there are!"
"How interesting..."
"Boss Lu, what if someone is ganging up on each other and reports the number directly to check who is involved?"
Liang Cong was a little curious.
"Just count if you want to. Think about it, if you were a ghost, would you speak?"
“!!!”
"Yeah! Since I can't see the number of people online anyway, I can just report it myself!"
As the two chatted, Liang Cong became more and more excited.
Mr. Lu understands so well!
He is not only my boss and good brother, but also my soulmate!
If Mr. Lu were to study for a master's degree with me,
No matter what he says, I have to work harder and get a Ph.D.!
