The Trickster's Ninth Episode

However, although Ren Amamiya has a lot of orders, he does not need a special effects artist to do special effects, nor does he need an animator to do animations. He only needs Feiying Yuedong to come up with high-quality designs and models as quickly as possible.

From the beginning, what Ren Amamiya needed was only the unity and acceptance of the painting style, and he was OK with other work.

In fact, even the model does not need to be used. Ren Amamiya only needs character design, and after he has seen it himself, he can perfect and enrich its image in his imagination, and then he can model it through impressions, and then go to the puppet theater to copy it.

However, although doing this only requires brains and seems to be very profitable, in fact, the time invested in it is a loss for Amamiya Ren, so although the modeling part can be saved, I still choose to outsource it.

A normal game character design usually includes four steps: design, modeling, animation, and special effects.In the case where only one person works in each link, the average production cycle of a character is about 10 days.

The price is charged according to the number of roles, working hours (days) and related projects.For example, for character image design, it only takes one day to design one character, and then the unit price of [Design] is 60000 yen, so the price is 1×1×60000=60000 yen.

If it is 3D modeling of five characters, each character takes 5 days, [modeling] is also calculated according to 60000 yen, then the price is 5×5×60000, a total of 150 million yen.

Depending on the company and the artist who received the private order, the quotation will be different. For example, the quotation of Feiying Yuedong is 75000 yen per character, plus the work of difference and split, the unit price is calculated as 96000 yen.

That is 100×6×96000=5740 million yen.

Of course, this does not mean that it will take 600 days for Ren Amamiya to complete the order. 600 days is the time required for [single person] to complete the target within the [theoretical delivery time agreed by the company].

In fact, there will not be only one person working at the same time, and the character designer sometimes does not need to spend a day designing a character.

Although Feiying Yuedong is a small studio, it also has a complete team, so Hazuki Shizuku gave 60 days for delivery.

Even so, Umiya Ren still asked to reduce the working hours, hoping that Feiying Yuedong could hand over the work to him as soon as possible.

In the final analysis, this is just outsourcing. Ren Amamiya is still the main artist of her own game. After these outsourced works are handed in, Ren Amamiya will still have to go through them after all.And the final model used will still be the model copied in the puppet theater.

Although I feel sorry for the employees of Feiyingyuedong, the [labor] they put in is worthless to Yugonglian, what Yugonglian needs is only their [creativity].

Ren Amamiya asked Flying Eagle to shorten the delivery time to within 20 days. He has already learned that Flying Eagle has five characters in the role group and about 11 model members in the model group, but there is overlap between the two groups— —Actually, some people in the role group have also learned how to make models.

Moreover, there are 80 creatures in Ren Amamiya's list that exist in reality, but they just need to be redesigned with a cute style of painting. There is no need to start from scratch, and the difficulty of design and modeling is not too high. The main burden is still on the 20 fantasy creatures.

Under this premise, Yu Gonglian felt that they could get it done within 20 days.

Really unable to resist, Amamiya Ren felt that Yagami Light should be able to go to the digital world, and the time flow in the digital world is much faster than the real world.It took several months in the digital world and only two hours in the real world, so they will definitely be able to catch up.

In terms of time, Amamiya Ren will not compromise. Didn't he outsource it because he thought he was slow in doing it alone?If outsourcing is slower than himself, what is outsourcing?

As for why it is 20 days?

Because he wanted to release the game before the summer vacation, symbolically catching up with a wave of summer vacation, the sales volume didn't matter, he just hoped that more people would come to play his game.

But the consequence of doing so is that you have to add money, simple and clear.

The time has been shortened by three times, and the working hours are directly related to the price, so it must be tripled first, and then on this basis, the act of compressing the working hours itself will also increase the price.

最后单价定在435000円，也就是100×2×435000=8700万円。

Well! 6857 million is really not enough to spend!

But it doesn't matter, the settlement of the contract between Yu Gonglian and Feiying Yuedong is based on the deposit and the final payment. Since the construction period is only 20 days, it is divided into two installments, with the deposit and the final payment each accounting for [-]%.

When it was time for the final payment, Amameiya Ren had money again.

Ren Amamiya has clear requirements. Although the time requirement is a bit embarrassing, but the price is very generous so there is no problem.All in all, the negotiation process went smoothly.

However, when they were about to sign the contract and pay the deposit, they suddenly reached a deadlock due to a difficulty.

Ren Amamiya...is underage.

He can't sign the contract!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It is actually not the first time Ren Amamiya has encountered the trouble that her signature does not have legal effect because she is a minor.

Theoretically speaking, all current business contracts of Ren Yugong must be signed by her parents.

However, the terms of "persona" that he signed with Ya Sen did not pass through Umiya Ren's parents.That's because the effective dates on those clauses were all after Umiya Ren became an adult.

In other words, those contracts with delayed entry into force are just a pile of waste paper for the time being.The cooperative relationship between Amamiya Ren and Yasen is entirely based on trust in each other.

As long as Party A and Party B are conscious enough, the binding force of the contract is of course dispensable.

However, it is obvious that He Feiying Yuedong cannot play this game.

There is still half a year left before Ren Amamiya becomes an adult, and now his influence in work is gradually increasing, and I am afraid that he will encounter many similar difficulties before he naturally becomes an adult. Perhaps this time when he returns to his hometown, he should have an open and honest discussion with his parents Let's talk.

The reason why I didn't mention it when I went home last time was because Ren Amameiya was not yet mature at that time, and she didn't have any achievements in her hands that could persuade others.And at that time, he was still burdened with a court judgment, leaving his hometown and unable to protect himself. Doing these things is just like nonsense.

This time is different. Ren Amamiya has achieved convincing achievements in terms of popularity, performance and money. The income he can earn in a month requires ordinary salaried workers to work for 20 years.

Whether it is the owner of a hot spring hotel like Grandpa Yugong, or a rich tea farmer supported by the government like Dad Yugong, it is hard to hold a candle to.

However, although Ren Amamiya is now confident that she can persuade her parents, Ren Amamiya's parents are far away in Izu, and they cannot solve the urgent need.

So Yu Gonglian decided to call someone for help.

In fact, looking for space is the best. That guy just happened to be an adult, and he was as informal as Ren Amamiya, and he had a part in the production of this game.

But... that guy can't be called out.

Why do people in this project feel that there are some strange dilemmas?

There are actually quite a few people who have a [relationship of trust that does not need to be bound by law] with Ren Amamiya, but looking back now, most of them are minors, and a few more reliable adults are either completely insulated from related fields and need to be spent Explain with lip and tongue, or feel that they may not be able to get away and come to help.

For example, if you are an adult, you will not have too many questions, and there is a high probability that you can agree to this matter straightforwardly. Patrolling and Liuge should be counted as one. It is true that Amamiya Ren can call people, but he still does not want to. I really want to disrupt other people's schedules.

And if Xunyin Liuge really came over, she might use her own money to help Yu Gonglian settle the bill.Then use the name of [spending 4350 million yen to buy the dignity of a younger sister's man] to satisfy her [pretend femininity] bad taste.

I don't know why, Xunyin Liuge likes to belittle Amamiyaren verbally, maybe it's some strange XP.

In the end, Ren Amamiya chose to call Sae Niijima. Fortunately, the other party was free.

The solution is very simple. Ren Amamiya sends the money to Sae Niijima, and Sae Niijima signs the contract in his own name and settles the payment.

If Sae Niijima was still a prosecutor as before, then it would not be easy to hand over the tens of millions to her. After all, the tens of millions spent once the contract was signed belonged to her in a legal sense. For those who eat official meals, the money came from an improper source and is suspected of accepting bribes.

But lawyers don't have to care about these things. Don't you see that the unscrupulous lawyer Gu Meimen Yanjie spends money like a waste, and burns tens of millions of dollars.

However, if you have read "Hansawa Naoki", you may think that the numbers in Gu Meimen's research introduction are just like that.

It will take a while before Sae Niijima arrives, but the contract has been negotiated, and the nominal transaction has been established, so Ren Amamiya went to chat with Hikaru Yagami about her needs for design and models.

"Speaking of which, Sister Jia'er, don't I have the impression that you want to be a kindergarten teacher? Why did you come here to do character design for the game?" Yu Gonglian asked curiously.

"..." Yagami Ko didn't reply immediately, but gave Amamiya Ren a very meaningful look, and said with a bit of a bad expression and tone. "Some things, if you forget, you have to learn to avoid the topic, understand?"

"Uh...I'm sorry!" Ren Amamiya blinked several times in a daze, and apologized very simply.

It seems that Hikari Yagami's temperament has changed so much compared to when he was a child, and some unsatisfactory things should have happened in the middle.

"Let's continue talking about character design."

The so-called [evolutionary component] does not simply refer to a certain part or a certain organ, but refers to a certain ability of a creature and its corresponding traits.Let’s take a cat as an example. For example, if you have obtained [Cat’s Vision], then this component corresponds to the eyes; if it is [Cat’s Lightness], this component corresponds to the cat’s extremely malleable body and tail.

When a set of components (tentatively four pieces) is assembled, the corresponding form and appearance will be unlocked. You can use this [set] directly, or you can continue to stuff things on the basis of using the [set].

At the same time, the big-breasted elves and big-breasted angels mentioned in the blank were of course rejected by Amamiya Ren. In fact, Amamiya Ren intends to avoid the appearance of humanoid creatures as much as possible in this game.

There can be Homo sapiens, and four-channel animal ears or other components can be added on the basis of Homo sapiens, but non-DIY, officially recognized [humanoid creatures] will not appear.

Even if you want to make a fantasy creature like [Angel], you must adopt a fundamentalist angel, that is, the appearance is closer to the angel in "Baoneering Witch".

The vast majority of angels are not humanoid creatures.

At the same time, the evolutionary components should also be integrated with each other, because on the surface, 100 species of organisms have about 400 types of components, and there are different forms across stages, and the workload will be piled up all at once. very big.

So for the first 20 kinds of fantasy creatures, Ren Amamiya intends to use creatures that [the appearance is similar to animals in reality], and then let players unlock these creatures through the formula of [combination of common evolutionary components + ether].

For example, for unicorns, players need to collect at least three components of [horse], and obtain components related to [horns], and at the same time, the attribute of [ether] reaches the standard, then the evolution form of [unicorn] can be unlocked.

And after unlocking the fantasy creature for the first time, the evolution components of the fantasy creature will directly enter the evolution pool.Before you make [Unicorn], there are no related components in the evolution pool.After unlocking, [Unicorn Horn], a component that can directly increase the ether attribute, will appear in the evolution pool.

Increase the reuse rate of resources, reduce the pressure on artists, and enrich the gameplay.

Between the ordinary [Sharp Horn] and [Unicorn Horn], you only need to make a little difference and add special effects.

This treatment can be applied to many fantasy creatures, such as unicorns, dragons, dragons, giant sandworms, werewolves, manticores, griffins, murlocs, nine-tailed foxes, cherubim... .

By the way, Amamiya Ren asked for the cherubim, that is, the design of the cherub, to be a creature with two wings and four sides, with a human face, a lion face, an eagle face, and a cow face, with eyes on the wings on the back of the hands.

According to legend, the characteristic of cherubim is [multiple eyes], which has the ability to look directly at the light of God, so Ren Amamiya specially prepared an easter egg. If a player evolves into a sage, the eyes used are not the naked eyes, but Calcite eyes (trilobites), will also get an additional skill of [Refracting the Radiance of God].

The actual visual performance is probably like [Destroying Dragon Gangdora], the eyes of the whole body can shoot lasers.

balance?It doesn’t exist. Of course, roguelike is how to design it. Easter eggs if you can, dream linkage if you can dream linkage. The only thing to pay attention to is to be careful that the enemy is too weak to make the game less challenging.

For the time being, Yashenguang can still keep up with Amamiya Ren's thinking, but sometimes Amamiyaren's ideas are still too wild. For example, the calcite eyes mentioned just now are in the blind spot of Yashenguang's knowledge.

The two were discussing enthusiastically. At this time, one person walked to the door of the office silently, and then stared at the scene inside, stunned.

Yuan Shanlun is the project supervisor of Feiying Yuedong, and has senior qualifications to join the company at the same time as Yashenguang.To this day, most of the employees who joined Hikaru Yagami and Rin Toyama in that period have left, and basically there are only two of them left.Because it is the same period, the relationship between the two is also very good.

How good is it?It’s so good that when Ron Toyama sees a male employee getting close to Hikaru Yagami, he will involuntarily become very nervous and vigilant.

The members of the character group where Yagami Guang is located are all women, and this plot accounts for part of the reason.

As the president, Hazuki Shizuku herself likes cute girls very much. It is not known whether her sexual orientation is bent, but it is because of her bad taste that she indulges Toyama Ren and makes the character group only female.

Yuan Shanlun, who came to work today with the same mood as usual, saw a scene that shocked her pupils after entering the character group office.

Who is this young handsome guy who talks and laughs and looks very familiar? !Out of nowhere! ?

"Sister Jiaer, do you think the Nine-Tailed Fox should be designed as a simple fox with nine tails, or is it better to add a humanoid form to her? Is it a reference to the [white-faced] (Haku) monster in Ukiyo-e, or in the real sense? Wouldn't it be better to design it as a beauty?"

【Karine】What is it? !A nickname you haven't heard of? !The relationship between Xiaoguang and this boy seems to be better than what he just expected!

Cool Breeze Aoba knew that Ron Toyama liked Hikami Yagami, and she also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the scene, and she turned her head to look back and forth between Ron Toyama and Hikami Amamiya Ren who was under discussion. After several glances, he finally bit the bullet and pulled Yuanshan Lun aside, explaining to her that Umiya Ren is a client who came over today.

However, Liangfeng Aoba's explanation could not appease Yuan Shanlun's emotions, and Amamiya Ren could clearly feel the vigilant and hostile gaze.

However, although Yu Gonglian intuitively found something was wrong, she didn't know where it came from.He turned around suspiciously and looked at the source of the line of sight.

This look is kind of familiar...

When Yu Gonglian and Wu Jianmiao went to the hospital a few days ago, did Bai Xueba just look at Wu Jianmiao like this?

So the source of this hostility is because... Sister Jiaer?

Another...lily lover?its not right!Sister Jiaer doesn't seem like the type who can play lily!

The moment this impression popped up in his heart, Ren Amamiya suppressed it restraintly. Today's Iori is quite unfamiliar to Ren Amamiya. He seems to have no confidence to be sure that Iori will not engage in Lily .

Is it unrequited love or two-way rush?
