Restart the Gaming Era

Lin Xiaoguang could see that Zhong Ming's "Extreme Speed" was designed to be a hit. The goal of this driving simulator is to achieve what other driving simulators have, and what other driving simulators don't have. There are still.

This driving simulator, paired with the game "Extreme Speed", can meet all players' needs for simulated driving. They can watch the scenery and drag racing. In addition, there are many functions that other driving simulators do not have. For example, high degree of freedom modification of vehicles, shooting, etc.

There are short-term gameplay and long-term gameplay. Just this one game is enough for players to play it for several years but it will definitely become outdated.

"Then let's start making it. I can't wait to experience it." Lin Xiaoguang also looked forward to it.

For players in this world, driving simulators are the closest game simulation device to real-life experience. The sense of immersion and realism of any other game cannot be compared with that of driving simulators.

Zhong Ming's design plan obviously brought the driving simulator experience to a new level, and even Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but feel itchy.

After discussing the design plan for the driving simulator with Lin Xiaoguang, Zhong Ming handed the design concept draft of "Extreme Speed" to Fu Xing'an and asked him to arrange for the design team to complete the detailed design documents for the game.

Then, Zhong Ming found Jiang Wanna and held a meeting with the core members of the art team.

So far, there are hundreds of art team members in Weiguang Studio, not counting the art outsourcing team that has been cooperating with Weiguang Studio. This number is actually not that many. Although the world is more technologically advanced, the gaming industry and art-related work are still labor-intensive industries.

In other words, one more person can save more time.

The reason why Shimmer Studio develops games so quickly is that on the one hand, the design plan is mature and will basically not change significantly, and on the other hand, the art team is very capable.

There were more than a dozen core members of the art team, and they all came to the conference room. They were a little confused. Even Jiang Wanna felt a little surprised.

Because Zhong Ming actually rarely meets with the art team anymore, and instead assigns tasks directly to Fu Xing'an and the design team. The design team directly submits requirements to the art team, so Zhong Ming basically no longer worries about things here.

This meeting was specifically for the art team, which seemed a little strange.

"First of all, let me tell you some good news." Zhong Ming smiled and looked around at the core members of the art team. "Next, everyone will have a month-long trip at public expense. As for where to go, it is up to you to decide. All expenses incurred during the trip will be yours. , including food, accommodation, air tickets, etc., all will be reimbursed by the company."

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, then cheered!

"Tour at public expense?? One month!!"

"Oh my God, is it true?"

"The boss is mighty, the boss is grand!"

"Is this a benefit for everyone at Shimmer Studio?"

All the core members of the art team present were overjoyed. Isn’t this awesome?

A month of travel at public expense, where you can go wherever you want, and the company will reimburse everything?

I have never heard of any company offering such benefits!

"Of course it's not everyone's welfare, it needs to be screened." Zhong Ming smiled, "But don't rush to be happy, this time is not just for fun, there is a mission."

"The next game from Shimmer Studio is called "Extreme Speed". You can tell from the name that it is a racing game. So, your goal this time is to travel around the world within a month. Record the beautiful scenery of various places through videos and photos. Whether it is natural scenery, cultural buildings, or landmark landscapes, all are recorded. Later, these will become in-game materials. "

Everyone present suddenly realized that it was official business!

No wonder the company reimbursed the entire process.

However, even if it is official business, this is an incredible benefit!

Xiao Mu and several other younger employees couldn't hold it any longer and simply searched for various tourist attractions on their bracelets.

The world is currently in the reconstruction stage. If we talk about the scenic spots and historical sites in various places, there must be basically nothing left. However, in the process of reconstruction, various districts and cities have basically worked hard to reflect the characteristics of the map and built many post-modern art sculptures, buildings and other landmark buildings.

What's more, in many places far away from the city, the natural environment has been restored well, and there are also some beautiful places worth visiting. Or, some ruins and ruins caused by the outbreak of the omnic crisis can also be used for materials.

In addition, "Extreme Speed" also has the structure of urban areas, and many underground racing activities are carried out in urban areas. Regarding the structure of the entire urban area, we also need to go to different cities to draw materials.

Although these things can be found online, and a large amount of video materials can be found, it is still not as good as seeing them in person. Just like the production team of GTA5 in Zhong Ming's previous life, before making the game, they also spent a lot of time and energy on field visits and took a lot of video materials before they could create a masterpiece of the level of GTA5.

"Okay, let's go back and seize the time to plan the route. I suggest that you split up and pick up the materials. Don't just go to some popular cities and attractions, but also go to some niche and remote classics. Our game this time should have enough different styles. Only in this way can players be presented with a world that is complex and diverse enough.”

Zhong Ming gave a few more instructions, and the members of the art team happily left the conference room and went back to make plans.

This global trip is a benefit for core members. There are a total of 30 places. There are 24 places for the art team and 6 places for the design team. Who will go will be decided internally.

The design team is mainly responsible for level design and scene design that interface with art. Other designers have to stay in the company to complete the game design documents.

It didn’t take long for word of the global trip to spread, and the members who couldn’t go were all envious and jealous!

"A trip around the world? It's over, I can't go, I'm sour!"

"This benefit is simply invincible..."

"Please be a pendant! If you are a big shot in the art team, I can help you carry the equipment!"

Especially the program group, there is a sad atmosphere.

At least 6 people can go to the design team, but not even one person can go to the programming team!

Of course, the programming team also knew that this trip was to collect materials, and the programming team could not help much if they went there, it could only add to the chaos.

But, after all, it was a global trip reimbursed at public expense!

Even though I know it's necessary for work, I still need to be sore.

Zhong Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw everyone's reactions.

Immediately, he sent a message to the work chat group: "Don't be envious. When this game is finished, everyone will be given a week's vacation. The company will reimburse you wherever you want to play."
