Restart the Gaming Era

Many people are waiting for Zhong Ming's response. As soon as this Weibo post was posted, people who eat melons immediately forwarded it one after another!

"Such a slap in the face! The attendance data has been posted!"

"You also said that Weiguang Interactive Entertainment worked overtime to make games? Haha, you yourself are inefficient at work, don't think others think the same as you!"

"Zhong Ming is quite direct. Is it okay if he just laughs out loud?"

"I understand. All bosses, including those Internet technology bosses and Peng Liang, are just speaking for the capitalists. They clearly know that this is a kind of oppression, but they still continue to beautify the 996 work system. , hoping to extract more profits!”

"Anyway, thank you for Zhong Ming's voice. He is indeed a person who is not dominated by capital!"

On the Internet, a large number of onlookers immediately supported Zhong Ming, and at the same time severely suppressed those who supported 996.

Only 996 is struggle?

Only 996 can improve work output?

Is 996 a blessing?

What nonsense, pure fart!

Just look at Weiguang Interactive Entertainment. Zhong Ming has never squeezed employees, nor brainwashed them with poisonous chicken soup. But everyone is working hard, and their efficiency is far higher than those mediocre game companies. Their income is high and their mental state is high. Okay, this is a normal employment relationship, and this is what a truly good boss should do!

As for other bosses who advocate the 996 work system, they are just changing the concept. They are obviously squeezing employees' time, but they call it "fighting for themselves" and don't even want to pay overtime pay. It is simply shameless!

All of a sudden, Zhong Ming’s speech was widely reposted on Weibo and real Q\u0026A, and was even used as a weapon against 996 by those who rejected 996.

Moreover, what no one expected was that Zhong Ming's words not only provided strong support to those who opposed 996, but also served as a good advertisement for his own company.

Before, everyone knew that Weiguang Interactive Entertainment was a gaming giant that had produced a large number of well-known and good games. Designers, artists and programmers in the industry had long been yearning for it.

And now, people who want to go to Weiguang Entertainment have a new reason: no overtime here!

Of course, it does not mean that overtime is absolutely not allowed. It means that overtime is not required most of the time. In rare cases, overtime work will be fully paid, and overtime must be applied to the superior before being allowed to work overtime!

And look at those other “sweatshops”?

In some interviews, people ask in a circumstantial way whether they can accept longer working hours and greater work pressure, which is actually a hint of 996;

Some people say on the surface that "we have no hard and fast rules on overtime work", but after joining the company, they find that everyone does not leave after work. Overtime is actually an unspoken rule. They clearly say that overtime is not mandatory, but they will still be interviewed even if they get off work on time;

What's even more outrageous is that they declare internally that working on Saturdays is a normal day, not even overtime, blatantly ignoring laws and regulations.

As the saying goes, it all depends on your peers!

The game industry has always been the hardest hit area by overtime work, because the game industry often has strong requirements on timeliness. If a game is released one month earlier or one month later, the ending may be very different. Therefore, many game companies use this as an excuse to do everything possible to work overtime and catch up on schedule, and basically do not pay overtime pay, which has become an unspoken rule.

However, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment is completely different from these sweatshops. Many people have asked industry insiders, especially internal employees of Weiguang Interactive Entertainment, for verification, and the answer they received is indeed: there is no overtime here, just like Zhong Ming said!

Suddenly, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment became a company that many people dreamed of joining, and it received a wave of extremely effective publicity. Many talented people who received multiple offers at the same time would be given priority even if their salaries were low. Choose Weiguang Interactive Entertainment.

On the other hand, those bosses who openly advocated 996 had their companies compiled into a form by enthusiastic netizens: 996 Company List.

Companies that say they don’t work overtime, but actually work overtime by default, companies that have 996 or even 8107 all year round, companies that exploit employees in various ways... All these companies are included in this 996 company list, and many job seekers When I joined the company, I was also used to taking this form and taking a look at it to see if the salary I would get after changing jobs would be worth my life.

Because Peng Liang of i-evaluation performed well in this battle and had a lot of hatred, i-evaluation even got a C position on the "996 Company List" for his debut, which made Peng Liang very angry.

It's like stealing chicken but losing rice. Originally, I wanted to follow the big boss and pour some poisonous chicken soup, get a little benefit, and inject chicken blood to his own employees. But now it's better. After Zhong Ming's fate, Peng Liang directly Caught in the vast ocean of the People's War, not only did he not reap any benefits, but he also confirmed his company's problems of squeezing employees and inefficiency!

"Zhong Ming, your uncle!!"

Peng Liang was so scolded by online comments that he became autistic on the spot, and had no choice but to turn off the comment function on Weibo.

…

One month later.

The team that traveled around the world to collect information is back.

At work the next day, people from the art team just entered the company, which shocked the others.

Fu Xing'an just arrived at the company and took a cup to drink a cup of coffee. When he saw Xiao Mu's appearance, he was shocked.

"Damn it! Didn't you go to play? Why...have you lost a lot of weight? Are you even darker?"

Fu Xing'an almost threw the coffee on the ground in shock.

Xiao Mu is one of the early employees who joined Weiguang Studio. He is a tall young man. During the period of working at Shiguang Studio, because the life was more comfortable and the food was better, I gradually gained weight. From the time I joined the job to now, I have gained about 20 pounds.

As a result, after going out for a month, I lost a lot of weight and became darker. Fu Xing'an was a little afraid to admit it.

Xiao Mu grimaced: "Why are you going to play? I helped carry the equipment the whole time. When I wasn't carrying the equipment and taking a break, I had to take pictures of the girls. It made me tired... I ran for me this month, and I went with You said, if there is such a good thing in the future, it is better for you to go, I will never go again..."

Fu Xing'an smiled: "If your art team goes to collect materials, I'm not qualified to go. I still have to write a design draft."

"Anyway, I will be a dog next time!" Xiao Mu floated back to his seat.

Not long after, other members of the collection team also came to work.

Jiang Wanna's condition is pretty good. She looks the same as usual. The girls in the art team don't seem to have much influence, but the boys, whether they are in the art team or the design team, all feel weak. .

Fu Xing'an thought about it and realized that, traveling around the world for a month to collect materials, of course the boys had to carry the equipment the whole time, which... was indeed a bit difficult.

Not to mention taking on shooting tasks, just traveling as usual. Traveling all over the world within a month is quite tiring.

I don’t know how the task of collecting materials was completed.

In the morning, Jiang Wanna called several core members of the collection team, Zhong Ming and Fu Xing'an, and held a meeting together.

The data collected this time appeared on the big screen, and Jiang Wanna began to introduce the results of this collection to everyone with great interest.

"In this collection, we took a total of more than 300,000 photos, 37 hours of video, and also conceived a large number of original sketches on site. At present, we have temporarily classified these materials, according to the previous design team gave us The rough terrain planning map of the game..."

While Jiang Wanna was explaining, she opened some pictures and videos that she was satisfied with for everyone to see.

When the art team's material collection team left, the design team once produced a rough terrain planning map of the game, dividing the entire island in the game into several parts.

The game takes place on a small island, with deserts, wilderness, snow-capped mountains, and cities... According to these already determined styles, the collection team went to various places around the world to shoot scenes, and then classified and stored the shooting materials.

"The scenery is so beautiful." Fu Xing'an said with emotion, "I kind of regret not going."

Xiao Mu said from the side: "If you go there, you won't think so... Do you know what it's like to walk in the vast desert carrying a tripod and a professional camera..."

Technology in this world is very advanced, the material of tripods has become much lighter, and the size of cameras has also shrunk a lot, but as a professional equipment, it is definitely much bulkier than a bracelet.

However, the photos and videos were really well taken.

Many of the videos were shot aerially with drones, shooting from a high-altitude position, offering sweeping views of the entire area.

After browsing through it briefly, I found that there was indeed enough information. The data collection team had worked hard this month and successfully completed the tasks assigned by Zhong Ming.

"However, there is a problem..." Jiang Wanna said, "All the historical buildings have not been visited, and the materials are only taken from a few cities. How to make up for this? Should we just go online to find information?"

According to the original design document plan, in addition to these natural scenery, the game content in "Extreme Speed" should also include a large number of historical buildings. These historic buildings will serve as the ground surface and be integrated into many urban scenes, thereby creating an obvious regional difference.

But this time the collection team, in accordance with Zhong Ming's request, did not consider this aspect at all.

Zhong Ming shook his head: "No, I'm ready."

He connected the bracelet to the screen and opened the original painting of ancient architecture that he had prepared.

"Leaning Tower of Pisa?"

"Notre Dame?"

"Isn't this the Temple of Heaven!"

“And the Taj Mahal!”

"Arc de Triomphe!"

"Oh, do you have all the details of the Great Wall?"

"Opera House? Aren't most of the data lost, leaving only photos from a certain angle? This original painting even has the internal structure? It's amazing!"

"Is this building a water cube?"

"Is this the Burj Khalifa? Damn it, isn't it true that no data has been preserved for a long time?"

"Awesome, where did you get it?"

One after another original paintings of ancient buildings appeared on the screen, and they were not line drawings, but all pornographic versions.

All the people in the art team had shocked expressions on their faces.

That's outrageous!

Because there are many ancient monuments here, their information has been completely lost for a long time, and those that have some information are incomplete.

Take the Maritime Opera House, for example. To Zhong Ming, it is a building of the same era from the previous life, but to people in the parallel world, it is a historic site like the Temple of Heaven and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The opera house was damaged during the war, and a lot of information on the Internet has been lost. The only thing people can see now is a photo of the opera house.

This photo is a physical photo that was preserved due to some accidental factors. Without this photo, people would have to rely on some text descriptions to make up for the appearance of the opera house.

However, this photo was taken at a specific angle, so even a professional architect cannot be sure about the actual structure of the opera house and can only speculate.

But now, Zhong Ming's structural diagram has drawn the complete structure of the entire opera house!

The same is true for other original paintings of monuments. Not only the appearance, but also the internal structure are also present, all clearly presented in front of everyone.

These historic buildings cover the architectural styles of various ages and civilizations in the East and the West. They are rich in details and complete in structure. Thanks to Zhong Ming's superb painting skills, they are simply more clear at a glance than the photos taken from the materials!

Moreover, many historical buildings whose data have been completely lost are also listed here by Zhong Ming!

This information must not be found online, so how did Zhong Ming get it?

Did you design it yourself based on some incomplete text descriptions?

Or is it all based on imagination?

It's hard to say.

"Okay, then... we can start work." Jiang Wanna said.

Others may be surprised, but for Jiang Wanna and several old employees, this is just Zhong Ming's basic operation.

Don't ask, asking is talent.

Obviously, these monuments will become a highlight of the game. This game not only has the existing beautiful scenery in the world, but also various scenic spots and historic sites that cannot be seen in reality. Just ask if you want to play it!

Now that all the materials are complete, the art team went to draw a lot of natural scenery and modern city scenery. Zhongming also provided enough historical buildings. The next work is to transform all of these into art materials in the game. , and then follow the plan to complete the entire island in the game.

After the meeting, Jiang Wanna called everyone in the art team over again and assigned work tasks. In the next period of time, the art team's job was to rush out all these architectural models, and then work with the design team to use the program's editor Make the island good.

On the other side, various vehicles and in-game system gameplay are also under development.

As the first driving simulator game, "Extreme Speed" will definitely give all players a big surprise.
