December 7th, Tuesday …
At Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. …
The written examination ended yesterday, and they were now in the tense stage of marking the papers.
Pei Qian had set aside a week's time, considering the huge workload of marking the papers.
Interviews would be held on Monday a week later. Then, the admission list would be released quickly to decide which batch of interns would be able to join Tengda as interns and obtain the opportunity to take the Tengda Spirit compatibility test.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with the timing.
On one hand, the written examination, interviews, and admission process had been extended to nearly two weeks. That had a certain effect of dissuading people.
On the other hand, taking two Mondays off in a short period of time had made most employees feel hopeless. That was a good way to dissuade a batch of experienced applicants.
All in all, he had to think of ways to dissuade more people!
The marking work was temporarily left to the human resources department and the administrative department.
Given Tengda's current scale, there should be no need to be wary of corruption.
In the future, when the scale of recruitment increased, they could mark the papers strictly according to the standards of large-scale examinations. Then, they could purchase specialized equipment and recruit marking staff. They should be able to spend a lot more money.
Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the door.
Pei Qian looked up. Ye Zhizhou had arrived.
Be Quiet had been developed earlier than GOG.
Be Quiet had been developed earlier than GOG, and the first version of the demo was about to be released.
The current version could not be said to be complete at all. At most, it had realized some of the most basic functions such as the movement of the characters in the scene, the use of props, and the like.
The art resources were also far from perfect. There was only one scene. There were still many areas to improve on in terms of props, characters, and special effects.
However, some things could already be seen from the first version.
Ye Zhizhou took a deep breath at the door of Boss Pei's office to calm himself down.
In the past, Boss Pei had been the one to check on the development of the game at Shang Yang Games. This time, Ye Zhizhou had come to Tengda to 'meet the Emperor'. He could not help but feel nervous.
"Calm down, calm down.
"The demo is an imperfect version to begin with. It's normal for bugs to appear. Boss Pei would not be too harsh on us.
"It's fine as long as we can demonstrate some basic functions.
"Unless … there are too many bugs and we can't continue playing.
"That shouldn't be possible. I've already asked the testing team to do a simple test before I came and fixed the more serious bugs.
"There are still some small bugs, but I shouldn't be that unlucky to have all of them."
Ye Zhizhou comforted himself before knocking on the door and entering.
"Boss Pei, this is the program for the game. Please install it."
Ye Zhizhou handed over a portable hard drive.
Pei Qian reached out and took it. He installed the game demo on his computer and then handed the controller to Ye Zhizhou.
Actually, Pei Qian did not know what kind of game it was.
That was because he had only given Shang Yang Games a few general directions back then. After that, he had been busy with other things.
Thus, Pei Qian still had a little anticipation for the demo of the game. He did not know what kind of game Shang Yang Games would create based on the dead end he had pointed out.
However …
Could he still see the real situation of the demo under Tang Yishu's halo?
Pei Qian highly doubted that.
After a brief black screen, the game started normally.
Pei Qian was slightly surprised.
It actually opened! There was no error or breakdown!
It looked like the demo was done pretty well.
Ye Zhizhou knew nothing about the danger that was about to befall him. All he did was push the joystick and operate it while explaining.
"The demo at the moment has mainly completed some of the most basic things, such as the movement of the characters, the use of props, and so on.
"I mainly want you to see if the current atmosphere of horror and the overall style meet your expectations."
"This is the first character we've created. It's a standard adult male. The information on the interface is his health, physical strength, mental strength, and so on …
"We expect to create many different body models for the players to customize their appearances …"
Ye Zhizhou explained as he observed Boss Pei's expression.
He saw Boss Pei looking at the screen with full attention as if he was anticipating something.
At the same time, there was a hint of … surprise hidden in this anticipation?
Ye Zhizhou could not help but feel a little proud.
It looks like Boss Pei places a lot of importance on our game project. This look of anticipation is definitely not faked!
What's more, Boss Pei's surprise meant that the game's completion rate had exceeded his expectations.
It looked like the situation was looking good!
Ye Zhizhou's explanation became even more enthusiastic.
However, there were only two thoughts in Pei Qian's mind.
"When will the bug appear? I'm looking forward to it.
"The bug hasn't appeared yet? It looks like the people from Shang Yang Games have put in a lot of effort into this demo. "
Pei Qian did not feel much about the game itself.
He could only say that it was done well. From this demo alone, he could not see any signs of it becoming popular.
The game's basic content, details, art style, and so on were all done well.
After all, all games were made with game editors. As long as one was willing to spend money, the art would definitely not be bad.
However, the terrifying atmosphere was far from it.
Of course, it could also be that there were no monsters or other players added in. There were no dangerous scenes. No matter how dark and scary it was, the degree of shock would be limited.
However, no matter what, this demo did not leave a deep impression on Pei Qian for now.
"Boss Pei, this is a special recorder. After using it, it will play a very ear-piercing and terrifying music. It will greatly reduce the surrounding characters' sanity. Look …"
As Ye Zhizhou spoke, he controlled the game character to walk forward and interact with the props.
However, nothing happened.
Ye Zhizhou, "?"
Puzzled, he clicked on it again.
Still, it was useless.
"Ahem, Boss Pei, this might be a small bug. However, it's alright. We've prepared other props."
Pei Qian smiled. "It's alright. It's a demo. It's normal to have bugs."
Ye Zhizhou heaved a sigh of relief and came to the second interactive prop.
"This is an axe. Once you pick it up, you can attack your enemies. Just like this."
Under Ye Zhizhou's control, the character waved the axe continuously, smashing the broken wooden boxes, old tables, and other destructible items around him.
Ye Zhizhou heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the weapon system was fine.
However, before he could rejoice for two minutes, the character waved the axe and fell into a gap in the map.
Ye Zhizhou, "…"
He quickly pressed the shortcut key that he had reserved and returned the character to its original position on the map.
"Ahem, it was a small accident just now. I accidentally fell into a gap in the map.
"However, don't worry, Boss Pei. These gaps will definitely be filled up in the future."
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, yes, of course."
Ye Zhizhou did not dare to explain further. He was afraid that he would leave a bad impression on Boss Pei that he was' incompetent and liked to push the blame to others'. He continued to control the character and walked towards the next prop.
However, he had only taken a few steps when the entire image suddenly stopped.
Thump!
Deng deng deng!
The program ended, and the desktop popped up. Several error prompts appeared one after another, arranged in a very ritualistic manner.
Ye Zhizhou was too embarrassed to explain further. He quietly took the mouse to close the prompts and then restarted the game.
However, he could not even start the game this time.
Ye Zhizhou, "…"
Confused.
Confused.
What was going on?
Before coming, Ye Zhizhou had tested on a few computers in Shang Yang Games. Although he had encountered some small bugs occasionally, he had no problems with the complete demo.
Now, he could not even enter the game …
Ye Zhizhou looked at Boss Pei, embarrassed. "Boss Pei, I don't know why. It was fine before I came …
"I'm sorry. There are too many bugs in the game. I'll go back and ask them to make some changes. I'll come back later to show it …"
He was a little embarrassed to look Boss Pei in the eye.
Boss Pei had placed so much importance and expectations on this game. In the end, he had completely messed it up!
Ye Zhizhou only had one feeling now: he had no face to face his elders!
How was he going to explain to Director Lin when he returned to Shang Yang Games …
However, Boss Pei only smiled and said, "It's alright. It's a demo. This is very normal. Don't blame yourself.
"Although I did not see the specific content, I can feel your sincerity in developing the game. Continue according to the current path!
"There's no need to show this version. Wait until the basic gameplay of the game is completed before we show it again."
Boss Pei … actually did not blame me?
Ye Zhizhou tried hard to see any hint of blame in Boss Pei's expression, but he failed.
Boss Pei's expression was calm but kind, and there was a sense of gratification in his kindness.
Wait, gratified?
What did Boss Pei have to be gratified about?
Ye Zhizhou was a little confused.
He was definitely not gratified because there were so many bugs.
Could it be that Boss Pei really saw through our design ideas in such a short time? He even foresaw that this was the right idea?
Yes, that must be it!
After all, Boss Pei was the one who decided the general direction of the game. Boss Pei must know the final form of the game better than anyone else.
Since that was the case, Boss Pei's expression was not surprising.
Ye Zhizhou knew very well that everyone in Shang Yang Games had been working hard during this period. There was no problem with the completion of the demo. However, for some reason, they were a little unlucky today. There were many bugs.
Fortunately, Boss Pei did not pursue the matter. Instead, he was considerate of such a small probability.
"Don't worry, Boss Pei. I'll go back and fix all the bugs. The next time I come, I'll definitely show you a good enough initial version!"
Ye Zhizhou turned and left.
Before this, he had been a little lazy. He felt that the development of the game was very fast and smooth. Naturally, he developed a lazy mood.
However, that mood was completely swept away now.
I still have a long way to go! I have to continue working hard!
Pei Qian felt a little strange looking at Ye Zhizhou who was suddenly full of adrenaline.
I didn't say anything. Why is he so excited …?
However, this incident also confirmed one thing for Pei Qian.
Tang Yishu's halo was indeed effective. In fact, it was very effective!
