Old Huang looked at Old Zhou. "What do you think?"
Old Zhou pondered for a moment. "I think it's doable."
The others nodded in agreement.
Old Huang pondered for a moment. "Alright, we'll take it! Since the client is footing the bill, we'll just take it as testing the waters. "
"If this style isn't popular, the client is the one losing money anyway. That'll be good for you to give up on this style."
"If this style becomes popular, we might even be able to set up our own studio after graduation. As long as we make a name for ourselves, everything will be fine!"
Ruan Guangjian nodded. "That's right, that's what I'm thinking!"
"Right now, we're basically making use of the client's request to make a name for ourselves. Furthermore, the client is paying us well. For the next three weeks, we'll have to work as hard as we can. We'll follow the highest standards and give it our all so that we can complete this job beautifully!"
"If this set of original arts is popular, we'll be able to make a name for ourselves and our future will be bright!"
The few of them finally came to an agreement and got to work.
Ruan Guangjian came up with character concept drafts while Old Huang did the initial drafts. The others who were slightly weaker or unfamiliar with the style were in charge of detailing and coloring.
According to normal procedures, Ruan Guangjian's draft should be shown to Pei Qian for the client to confirm if it met his requirements before detailing it.
However, Pei Qian could not be bothered with that and thus skipped that part.
The entire dormitory started bustling with activity.
…
…
Handong University, dormitory.
In the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed.
Pei Qian opened the system.
Pei Qian had already spent 290,000 yuan in the System Funds and was left with less than 10,000 yuan.
Apart from purchasing art resources, music and sound effects as well as renting a cloud server, Pei Qian had also spent money on a card game skill template.
He had not intended to buy it initially. However, he realized that he had not spent all of the System Funds and felt that there was no need to keep it.
The System Funds that he had not spent could not be converted into Personal Wealth. Pei Qian had suffered a huge loss and that was intolerable.
Pei Qian had already integrated the entire skill system into the game.
For example, Guan Yu's skill was Green Dragon Crescent Blade Combo Slash, Zhou Yu's skill was Burning Red Cliff, which dealt full screen damage, and Xiahou Dun's Resolute could temporarily nullify crowd control and reduce damage.
In any case, that was all there was to the skills of the cards. Since most of the card games were copied from Qute Three Kingdoms, there wasn't much of a difference in the mechanics. Therefore, the skills in the templates were the same as well.
Pei Qian distributed these skills to the characters in the game. More or less, he made the best use of them.
Of course, during this process, Pei Qian tossed some troublesome tasks to Ma Yang.
Pei Qian did not even count on him matching all the skills. It would be best if there were some wrong values or bugs.
In the end, Ma Yang was quite a meticulous person. After the entire skill system was configured, Pei Qian checked it once and found no problems.
However, on further thought, this was not the main point of incurring losses. Thus, Pei Qian felt that it did not matter.
Of the final 8,000 odd, 3,000 was reserved for Ma Yang's salary that would only be paid at the end of the month.
As for the remaining 5,000 odd, Pei Qian considered spending it all before settlement. He could buy something on the resource website. After all, he had to spend all of the System Funds without leaving a single cent.
As for why he had so much Personal Wealth …
That was because his family had given him a living allowance of 1,000 yuan.
Pei Qian could not help but lament. As someone with a system, he still had to rely on his family to give him living allowance. How embarrassing!
This was a complete disgrace to the host world!
Initially, he had wanted to lose 50,000 yuan. However, he ended up earning 70,000 instead.
He only managed to convert 700 yuan – that wasn't even as much as his original living allowance.
How shameful!
However, it was different this time.
300,000 yuan. As long as he failed the game, he could convert it all into Personal Wealth. There was only one word to describe it – awesome!
At the thought of the 300,000 yuan that was about to be transferred into his account, Pei Qian could not help but feel blissful. In fact, he was even willing to attend classes.
Now that everything was ready, all he had to do was wait for the art resources to be in place and the game to flop at the speed of light when it's released!
…
A week later.
Shanghai, in the art dormitory of a certain Finance University.
Ruan Guangjian had huge dark circles under his eyes as he tossed his pen on the table. "Okay! Mission accomplished! "
He turned around to look at the others. Some of them were asleep in front of their computers while others were asleep on their beds. He was the only one awake.
There were many instant noodle boxes and snack bags beneath the table. There were also many empty energy drinks on the table – the entire dormitory looked like a mess.
"Phew, it's done on time."
Ruan Guangjian felt that it was a pity that there was no one to share this historic moment with him.
It couldn't be helped. The others did not have as much energy as he did. Under such a high intensity of working day and night, none of them could take it anymore.
Thankfully, it was done on time.
Actually, it could have been done faster. However, Ruan Guangjian had high expectations for this entire set of original arts. Many of the areas that he wasn't satisfied with had been revised multiple times. That was why even with everyone working so hard, he was only able to make it to the deadline.
He browsed through the batch of original arts quickly.
Ruan Guangjian was extremely proud.
Artwork!
A perfect masterpiece!
Every single character was designed meticulously by him. Each of them had their own unique characteristics and distinct personalities. He had fused the original historical image, magical modifications and traditional elements together perfectly.
Every single one of them was guaranteed to leave a deep impression on anyone!
However, Ruan Guangjian wasn't sure if these original arts could become popular or not.
Aesthetics was an extremely subjective thing.
Even if it was a world famous art, there would still be people who would find it unattractive.
It was even more so for original arts in games. At times, no matter how exquisite one's skills were or how outstanding one's design was, gamers might not necessarily buy it. In fact, they might even dislike it instinctively just because it was a little dark.
Why did so many inferior games like shiny golden wings? Was it because their main artist liked it? Not necessarily.
That was because ballers loved shiny golden wings and would fork out money for it!
That was why any other company would probably despise this set of original arts.
However, Boss Pei of Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. had already said that he could create and design as he pleased. It shouldn't be a problem for him to draw as such, right?
Ruan Guangjian forced himself awake and logged into ESRO's resource website to send the batch of original arts to Pei Qian.
"There's a total of 50 sets and 200 original arts. Please check."
There was no reply from the other party after he sent it – he guessed that they were not online.
Ruan Guangjian checked the time – the sky was gradually brightening – it was past 7am.
He reached for a ham sausage from the side and peeled it open. After filling his stomach slightly, he climbed onto his bed to rest.
He was finally done with work. He was definitely going to call his brothers for a huge meal at noon!
