Zhang Fan thought that beverages might be similar to food and beverages, so he said, "I've got it! How about we use the same approach as 'dark cuisine'?"
Zhang Erdai didn't directly reject it, but seemed somewhat interested, saying, "Tell me more about it."
Zhang Fan thought about the previous content about "dark cuisine" and said, "It's about drinks that are good for your health, incorporating the characteristics of each place, and then opening a beverage shop and making a documentary. The shop will need employees, and Cao Wei can make arrangements later."
Wang Li followed Zhang Fan's lead and came up with a mini-game to accompany the "Dark Cuisine" game. He had already reached the Grandmaster level, and this mini-game was really stress-relieving, with a small memory footprint. The map had even been updated to include international versions.
Not only can you collect ingredients on the west coast of Country X without leaving home, and cook them in stone pots by the sun, sand, and blue waves, creating a warm and healing atmosphere, but the various maps are always fresh and new, and you can discover new things every time you revisit them. The combinations of various ingredients are simply too varied.
So Wang Li suggested, "How about adding a mini-game? A beverage mini-game sounds like a lot of fun! I really enjoy making pretty drinks!"
At this moment, Zhang Erdai's eyes lit up, "How about we add some interactive elements that customers can participate in mixing?"
During this period, the art department and the craftsmen at Feiyang Games simply didn't have enough time to create a large number of skins. However, the game's popularity and the competition's popularity were extremely high. Even if the veteran craftsmen worked themselves to the bone all day, they probably couldn't create too many. Not to mention, President Lin would never allow them to work overtime.
The experienced developers at Feiyang Games and the art department came up with a solution: they created a skin simulator. Players can create their own skins for these ten characters on this simulator. Creating skins is free, but if they want to sync them to their game accounts, they will be charged based on the complexity of the skin. The cheapest self-made skin costs ten yuan, while the highest is capped at around one or two hundred yuan.
The skin simulator became incredibly popular as soon as it was released. Servers were added again and again, and many unemployed artists found new jobs, taking on commissions to create skins for others. Not to mention, one participating team's child was a skin maker and created a complete set of exclusive skins for ten characters. When it was shown in the competition, it immediately made everyone envious, and the skin simulator became even more popular.
Feiyang Games also incorporated characters from their "Dark Cooking" mini-game into a skin simulator, allowing players to create their own skins. This makes things a bit easier for the art department staff, as they are also involved in designing various peripheral products for Feiyang Entertainment.
Zhang Erdai initially thought it would be fun to make her own, but the result was incredibly ugly. She realized that some money should be earned by others. Since she had money anyway, she found a skin maker online to create a skin based on her general ideas. The skin had various skills and different special effects, which was simply amazing.
So she immediately thought that maybe some people just enjoy the process of making something themselves; after all, something you make by hand is definitely different. Take Zhang Erdai herself, for example—that hideously ugly skin is still sitting in her game account. This is her first self-made product! Of course it's different!
He Yue thought about how there were many slow-paced variety shows on the market, and that Feiyang Entertainment didn't seem to have any slow-paced themes yet, so she suggested, "Then I also think the kind of slow-paced TV series I just suggested would be good too!"
Wang Li thought about the various novels he had been reading recently, and suggested, "How about we start a mobile stall? Setting up stalls at random locations has become quite popular lately!"
Zhang Fan was a little confused. "Really?! This feels weird? Is it some kind of mobile drink stall?!"
Zhang's son didn't object. "I think it's fine. We can write it down and have President Lin approve it."
The four screenwriters each had their own ideas, and in the end, they submitted four plans to Lin Xiaoxiao.
When Lin Xiaoxiao received them, she was stunned. No way! Usually there were only two portions at most, how come there were four this time?! How can these people be getting more and more greedy?! Are they really that motivated?!
No way, she's the only one in the whole company working herself to the bone!
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced through it and then assigned each of the four people to be responsible for their respective plans. Anyway, Cao Wei would oversee the follow-up, so she didn't need to put in too much effort. Heaven knows, she was practically the most hardworking person in Feiyang Company! Everyone else got a vacation after finishing a project, but her! She always wanted a vacation, and there was always another project waiting for her!!
She took a vacation as soon as the project ended, just so she could easily leave! But the reality is, the project keeps getting bigger, and everyone else except her can take turns on vacation. It's so sad! o(╥﹏╥)o
She only has time to play games after work! It took her several nights to finish just one skin!! She's only just completed the first storyline of "Conqueror"! She hasn't even finished watching the TV series!! She's only skimmed through the new park area without really immersing herself in it!!
Lin Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken as she dealt with the situation.
What saddened Lin Xiaoxiao even more was that the station director actually had another task?!
No way?! These people from "Love 101" are already there, and they can't even copy them properly!! What else can she do?! Honestly, if she really doesn't know how, she might as well find some moderators from CP (couple) fan forums; those are the people who can truly create something new and interesting about shipping!
It's not just about shipping characters from different books; she can ship characters from different dimensions and even different layers. And those video edits—she'd be convinced there was definitely something going on between them after watching them.
These people are really something. They have so many talented people out there, what's the point of hiring someone like her who doesn't exude any romantic vibes at all!
Lin Xiaoxiao still can't understand how "Love 101" became so popular! She's practically dumped all sorts of future problems on the contestants, and they still managed to stay together until the end. She feels like a parent whose daughter is dropping out of school because she's dating a guy with yellow hair—she really wants to ask, "What's so great about him?! How did they even get together?! You two will face all sorts of hardships in the future?! Are you all blind?! Can't you see that at all?!"
Originally, she was supposed to put on a variety show to break the station director's expectations of her in the dating and marriage task, but instead, she became a top student because of the contrast with her peers. Lin Xiaoxiao had nowhere to complain!
She has no choice but to bite the bullet and think of a solution. She's neither in a relationship nor has a family; what can she possibly do?! This is just putting her, Fatty Tiger, in a difficult position!
But deadlines are a magical thing. No matter how clueless, frustrated, or complaining you are beforehand, you can always come up with a solution before the deadline.
Even if this method isn't the best, it is still a method.
