#188 - Make action games great again (order required)
Just as Lu Yu was thinking this happily, Li Hongmei walked over and said:
"President Lu, Wan Xiaotong, the producer of the Superdimensional Moe Girl project team, has been acting a bit strange lately."
"Are you sure?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows.
"I'm sure," Li Hongmei said with a firm look.
"Is it just recently that she's been acting strange? Hasn't she always been strange?" Lu Yu corrected.
Li Hongmei was slightly shocked.
Wow, so President Lu knows everything!
This is really…unconventional in attracting talent.
Lu Yu stretched and went to the project team's office area.
Wan Xiaotong was holding a crystal ball that emitted a mysterious light, waving it back and forth in the office area, chanting strange incantations, as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual.
"Inspiration, come!"
She adjusted her eye patch and suddenly raised her arms and shouted.
At this time, Wan Xiaotong's attire also attracted Lu Yu's attention. She was wearing a large pointed hat and a cloak, like a witch from a fantasy world.
Yang Jie, the project team's artist, quietly said to Lu Yu:
"President Lu, Miss Wan doesn't know what's going on, but she suddenly started wearing all kinds of strange clothes, changing her style every day. Sometimes she's a magical witch, sometimes she's a mechanical girl, an elf, or a medieval princess. No one knows what she wants to express…"
Meng Yue, the business girl next to her, interjected:
"It's more than that. Every time we have a development meeting, she suddenly stands up and announces in a loud voice that she has received frequency waves from the Sagittarius galaxy, and then starts making obscure symbols with various gestures, leaving her colleagues dumbfounded."
Xu Qin, Wan Xiaotong's personal translator, said:
"At today's development meeting, Miss Wan set up a voodoo magic circle in the meeting room,
then put on a heavy magic cloak and muttered to herself in a low voice:
"In this dark moment, I need to think…think alone…about the laws of creation."
Then, she asked every colleague a philosophical question with a serious face: "What is the essence of the universe?"
And waited expectantly for everyone to answer."
Lu Yu sighed softly. He finally understood why Li Hongmei came to him.
I'm afraid the project team members all thought Wan Xiaotong was having a fit.
"This…is very normal. Don't you all understand Miss Wan's troubles?
Whether it's crystal ball divination, costume changes, or even magic circles, they're all reasons she wants to get game ideas!
Because she's stuck in a creative bottleneck!"
"Nice boat!" Wan Xiaotong not far away nodded in agreement, then gave Lu Yu a thumbs up.
The other project team members were shocked.
Goodness, is this the so-called birds of a feather flock together…oh no, attraction of similar states?
At this time, Lu Yu was thinking,
Wan Xiaotong's game ideas encountering a bottleneck is an opportunity for him!
First of all, the reason he recruited Wan Xiaotong, such an unorthodox person, into the company was to completely derail the production direction through Wan Xiaotong's brain holes, avoid the birth of hit games, and intensify involution.
Secondly, he can use this opportunity to complete the cycle's extra task:
[Before the end of the cycle, release a cross-platform 3D action game with beautiful girls, regardless of the theme, but the total investment in the project during the cycle must not be less than 40% of the company's revenue.]
He can use Wan Xiaotong's chuunibyou behavior to continuously increase the project's investment.
And the system's other serendipity mission: [Make the other party's highest combo count reach 10 in the process of an employee obtaining leisure points] can also be completed through Wan Xiaotong.
After all, this is a very rare chuunibyou who knows how to enjoy life.
After resolving to continue leading Wan Xiaotong astray, Lu Yu comforted everyone:
"It's okay, everyone must cooperate with Miss Wan with peace of mind.
After all, our goal is—to make action games great again!"
He transformed into a commander-in-chief, constantly playing the accordion.
Project team members: "…"
Lu Yu adjusted his non-existent air glasses and smiled:
"Miss Wan, how about my move?
Secret Skill: Sideways Shuffle!"
Lu Yu tilted his body, as if his body was controlled by an invisible force, and began to jump from side to side.
His movements were as smooth as a dance, as if he were stepping on air steps, his left and right legs coordinated perfectly, quite coherent and rhythmic.
[Employee Wan Xiaotong is encouraged by your sideways shuffle, and is in a good mood. Leisure points +10]
The project team members were shocked for a moment,
But after carefully considering Lu Yu's motives, tears of emotion welled up in their eyes:
Old employees like Zhang Fan had told them that President Lu was the ultimate layered cake, and all of President Lu's seemingly abnormal remarks and behaviors must have profound meanings!
The fact that Peach Garden Village could develop to its current scale was the best proof!
So, thinking carefully, President Lu is playing with mentally ill employees!
Only by behaving more like a mentally ill person than a mentally ill person can the mentally ill person realize that the other person is mentally abnormal and thus make themselves normal.
This is the so-called negative times negative equals positive, fighting poison with poison,
It must be so!
As the boss, he doesn't care about his image at all in order to care for such employees. How can we, as colleagues, have any reason to retreat?"
The newest novels are first published at 69shu.bar!
So, the entire project team members began to shuffle sideways in the office area,
The business people wore neat suits, and the folders in their hands flew in the air, like suit thugs.
The original artist girl next to her put down the digital drawing board in her hand, waving the paintbrush while jumping, splashing paint.
The young operations ladies took off their high heels and stepped on the floor with their black silk beautiful feet, tapping out the beat with great interest while shuffling sideways. Their long hair fluttered in the air, like elves, but the mobile phones in their hands were still tightly held, for fear of missing any project news.
"Come on, act up, anyway, there's plenty of time!"
The entire project team's office area was transformed into a big stage, and everyone's laughter, cheers, and applause intertwined.
[30 Peach Garden Village employees relaxed and resonated because of the sideways shuffle, generating 550 leisure points]
Seeing everyone going crazy with him, Wan Xiaotong gradually calmed down, and her azure blue eyes were sparkling.
But she didn't realize her condition from other people's chuunibyou behavior, but now, creative ideas were constantly emerging in her mind.
She began to display the new designs she added to Superdimensional Moe Girl on the big screen.
However, what Wan Xiaotong wrote densely was a long string of things that every word could be understood, but completely incomprehensible when combined.
Wan Xiaotong's personal translator, Xu Qin, appeared and began to type it on the PPT for the meeting.
[Combat Shrine Maiden System]
In the Superdimensional Moe Girl game, each randomly generated moe girl has her own "Shrine Maiden" attribute.
Each Shrine Maiden attribute has a unique dance style and skill characteristics, such as a graceful ballerina, a passionate Latin dancer, or a gorgeous and charming classical dancer.
In battle, players can control their characters to dance and act cute. Different dance steps and poses will trigger different moe value damage.
For example, completing a beautiful spin dance can release a range attack skill, while high-frequency sideways shuffling will affect the power and effect of the skill.
Players can even trigger combo and joint attack effects by connecting smooth combat dance combinations.
Looking at the plan on the PPT, Lu Yu rubbed his chin:
"The plan is very good, but I would like to add a little bit. I think all the dance moves and combat moves should be done with real-time motion capture to make it more exciting!"
System Planner Ma Yanyu said:
"I feel that the R\u0026D investment and cost of doing this are too high. Each moe girl needs to design various dance animations.
Although we can find outsourcing companies to ensure the construction period, the cost of motion capture is not low.
