Started as a comics editor

Chapter 61 Oh my god

The Science and Technology Trade Center is not far from the Literature Museum.

The two of them walked for more than ten minutes and arrived.

Tang Yao brought Kang Ming to the door of Mingyu Technology and walked straight in.

About the situation here.

Tang Yao had just told Kang Ming about this on the way, and Kang Ming was looking around curiously.

Mingyu Technology was still the same as before, with only the operations team present. However, the people in the operations team seemed to be in much better condition today, no longer half-dead... Mainly because they seemed to have cleaned up, changed their clothes, shaved their beards, and all of them sat up straight.

What's happening?

Their company was revived?
When Tang Yao passed by the operations team, she looked at them curiously, but did not dare to ask.

And just as she was looking at the people in the operations team...the people in the operations team were also looking at Tang Yao.

Perhaps because she was leaving her job today, Tang Yao did not wear the perfunctory white shirt and black straight trousers.

She changed into a refreshing white T-shirt, which was simple and fitted, yet also eye-catching. She wore light blue nine-point skinny jeans, revealing her delicate and beautiful ankles.

The tight jeans fit her thigh curves perfectly, making her long, round legs look particularly bright and eye-catching.

This is paired with the loose backpack that Tang Yao borrowed from her sister.

Youthful and lovely.

It makes people's eyes light up when they see it.

Mom!
Where did this high school student come from!

This is so girly and beautiful.

Tang Yao noticed that they were staring at her, so she quickly looked away and walked quickly into the office she rented.

Then the door closed.

"The people in their company...something feels weird."

After entering the door.

Tang Yao put down her bag, frowned and complained.

"I don't think it's strange..."

Kang Ming shook his head and glanced at Tang Yao. He could understand her feelings... After all, who could resist watching this?

"This is where we'll stay from now on... I know there's nothing yet, it's just the beginning."

Tang Yao didn't continue the previous topic. Instead, she opened her backpack and said, "You can get familiar with the environment today, then think about what basic office supplies you need, make a list for me, and then purchase them together with what I need. As for the rest, we can slowly add them according to the progress later.

By the way, we use Mingyu's fiber optic cable. I shared the related expenses after renting this place."

"I don't need to be familiar with the environment... I just need a place to sit."

Kang Ming came back to his senses and said, "As for basic office supplies, a computer will do, and the rest will require reviewing the project..."

"I see."

Tang Yao opened her bag and took out a large stack of information in front of Kang Ming's shocked gaze.

Kang Ming stared in amazement at the documents on the table that were half a palm thick, and subconsciously said, "You went to the printing room just now, didn't you..."

Tang Yao felt a little embarrassed and scratched her face gently, explaining, "Well, I just happened to have some free time, so I typed out some of the preparatory materials, but most of it was printed by me... It has nothing to do with Wenxin Pavilion!"

"So what are these...?"

"We'll talk about it later."

Tang Yao didn't answer, but flipped through it, then found the business plan and handed it to Kang Ming: "First, you should understand what we are going to do... This is the business plan I told you about, but because it is for investment, it is a bit messy, including product direction, profit model and so on. It can barely be considered half a plan.

If you take a quick look at it, you’ll probably know what I want to do.”

"..."

Kang Ming gathered his thoughts, took the plan, nodded solemnly, then found a chair to sit down, opened the plan and began to read it very carefully.

However, after reading just two pages, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Yao in shock: "The original case is "Fate/Zero"!? This..."

"You finish reading first."

Tang Yao didn't rush to explain, but gestured for him to continue watching.

Kang Ming could only suppress his shock temporarily and continue watching.

As he watched, his breathing became rapid and he seemed to be getting more and more excited.

About twenty minutes later.

He finally finished reading, looked up, and said excitedly: "A 2D mobile game! Interesting! I always thought that when I read comics before! Characters with distinct personalities are very attractive! I didn't expect it could be done this way!"
Moreover, the setting of summoning heroic spirits in Fate/Zero perfectly fits the core of this gameplay!

Obviously, he is not like Ms. Lin Shuang, who simply considers profit.

After all, Kang Ming not only likes games, but also comics and animations, and he also writes weird game plans on a regular basis.

This made him very fond of the mobile game that Tang Yao wanted to make, a two-dimensional mobile game that borrowed visual effects from the artistic style of traditional animation and comics, and focused on the creation of playable characters and plots!

the most important is.

Tang Yao wrote in such detail!

She almost described the entire framework of the game. Kang Ming could even imagine the final effect of the game, allowing players to summon heroes on their mobile phones and collect their favorite characters... It sounded interesting!
"Don't get excited."

Tang Yao also pulled up a chair and sat down. "Now that you've finished reading this, let me tell you something. There are no competitors for this kind of game on the market. This means we can't predict user and market feedback by analyzing competitor products. We also don't have any product information to refer to. We have to start from scratch."

Hear this.

Kang Ming finally calmed down a bit. After frowning and thinking for a while, he said softly, "Indeed, there's no mobile game like this on the market, and I haven't seen one either... And according to your plan, this game is characterized by weak social interaction and weak competition, and focuses on plot and character design. Although from my personal point of view, if the plot is good, collecting the charming characters in it is very interesting, but... it does have risks."

The games Kang Ming had access to were limited to this world... and the game Tang Yao had suggested didn't really exist in this world. So he subconsciously assumed Tang Yao was worried about player acceptance and subsequent profitability.

Tang Yao shook her head and explained, "That's not what I'm talking about. Let's put the game itself aside for now. I'm referring to game production... For example, we can't be sure how a game like this will perform on mobile phones, right? To be honest, this is my first time making a mobile game."

This was indeed her first time in this world.

Kang Ming raised his head, a little confused: "Uh...what do you mean?"

"I mean."

Tang Yao organized her words and said, "We don't have any product information to refer to, and we don't know how the game will perform on mobile phones. We're not even very familiar with each other... So, can these problems be solved by doing one thing? For example, making a demo. So, I think, let's put the entire plan aside for now and make a game start page and a storyline to run on mobile phones. How about that?"
This is a good opportunity for us to get used to each other and sort out the workflow. After all, this is our first time making a mobile game and our first time working together, and we can also see how the game performs on mobile phones."

Kang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes... DEMO! Okay, then let's discuss it?"

"Ah."

Hearing his agreement, Tang Yao nodded with satisfaction, then flipped through the documents in front of her, took out one of them, and handed it to Kang Ming: "This is the overall design document of the project. It is refined based on the plan in your hand. It specifies the theme, gameplay, and charging model of the game, and determines the performance characteristics of the game.

At the same time, I also listed the systems, levels, and content outlines required for the game's long-term development plan.

In other words, it's the planner's overall requirements list... I've specifically marked the systems, levels, and content outlines required for the demo, so take a look."

Kang Ming stared, a little confused.

“This one.”

Meanwhile, Tang Yao flipped through the document again and handed it to Kang Ming. "It's the art style guide... It contains my original paintings, which will serve as the artistic style of the entire game. However, I need to confirm with you the basic technical standards for subsequent art components, such as size, dimensions, capacity, etc., as well as the format of art resources, before I can formulate standard regulations."

"besides."

Tang Yao flipped through the file again, not giving Kang Ming any time to react. "This is some game engine information I found that I think is suitable, but I just skimmed through it and don't understand most of it. I'm just giving it to you for reference. Just take a look at it... Anyway, I'll leave the subsequent technical solutions and selection options to you.

For example, the client and server engines used to develop the game, the framework version, the basic module code structure of the program, the project file directory specifications, the testing and CI plan, and the preset solutions to technical difficulties.

"but."

Tang Yao thought for a moment and said, "This isn't the most urgent thing... The development and testing of the intranet server, as well as setting up the SVN server, are the first things to do. I'm sorry to bother you with that.

"..."

Kang Ming was stunned.

He stared blankly at the pile of information Tang Yao handed over, then looked at Tang Yao again, his scalp tingling.

Oh my god! ! !
This is like doing all the work of a producer, project manager, chief planner, and chief designer!!!

So strong!

This is too strong!
But why! Isn’t Tang Yao an editor!?
Ah? ? ?
Why is she so skilled even though she changed her career halfway?!
Actually.

Kang Ming misunderstood.

It’s true that Tang Yao is an editor, but in her previous life... she wasn’t.

Moreover, Tang Yao only became an editor halfway through her career...she didn't start making games. Before her sudden death in her previous life, she was the main artist of a crappy mobile game.

She was already very familiar with the game production process, and coupled with the super memory she gained after traveling through time...it was not difficult for her to recall the production process of her previous life.

But Kang Ming didn't know about this, he just felt it was scary.

and many more.

Kang Ming sat there for a while, then suddenly came to his senses. He immediately reached out and picked up the art style guide and opened it.

Then, when he saw those sexy, heroic, or crazy portraits... he was stunned again.

Tang Yao just said that, but he still hasn't reacted yet. After all, editors deal with painters.
And before, when Tang Yao said she was in charge of art, Kang Ming didn't take it too seriously. He just thought she was going to use her "connections" skill to find an artist to paint.

But now, she recalled.

Tang Yao seemed to be talking about... drawing it yourself?

Kang Ming thought about this, slowly raised his head, and looked at Tang Yao cautiously: "Tang Yao...you just said that this was drawn by you?"

Tang Yao nodded: "Yes... From now on, I will be the main artist of this game."

"..."

Kang Ming was stunned again. He looked at Tang Yao for a long time before asking, "Can you draw?"

"Ah."

"...?"

"My original dream was to become a cartoonist, but that didn't work out, so I became an editor."

"?????"

Kang Ming stared blankly at the beautifully drawn original painting, muttering, "With your skills, you're an editor??? And why is this style so similar to Fate/Zero...?"

"Oh, I don't think I told you."

Tang Yao shyly scratched her hair, which was casually draped over her shoulders, and said, "I drew Fate/Zero, and that's why it was used as the original design for the game..."

"……ha!?"

Hear this.

Kang Ming couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly stood up! His voice suddenly rose! His face was full of disbelief!

What does it mean that I drew it! ?

What's the meaning!?
Is this what you understand?

impossible? ? ?

Nowadays, comic editors also need to be able to draw and make games???
It really has to be like this.

Then I should go back to the editorial office! Compared to the girl in front of me! I am nothing but a waste!
