I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 446
Late at night, the night is clear and cold, and the moon is shining brightly.
In a brightly lit high-rise building, located in a large game headquarters building whose walls are mainly made of reflective glass, more than two thousand game designers are still busy working at this moment, without the tranquility that should be expected in the middle of the night at all. Various games are Posters are posted on the walls and in front of work desks, and people are busy running around in the office area, still working overtime on various games that are ready to be released.
“Hmph hum~~~~”
In the rather special temporary office, the surname "Sawamura" is affixed. Sayuri Sawamura, who has her own temporary studio in this building, has a serious look on her face. Under the bright lights, she works for one of the largest companies in Japan. The game studio owned by the game company designs high-demand paintings.
Sayuri Sawamura's humming song suddenly disappeared. She took the brush and paused to think quietly for a while before starting to design again.
As a painter who graduated from a famous Japanese art school, Sayuri Sawamura's painting skills have always been quite solid and extensive. She is good at paintings of various types and cultural backgrounds, including Western oil paintings, sketches, fantasy-style paintings, and Eastern ukiyo-e. She is good at landscape painting, comics, Japanese realism, etc., so she accepts a wide range of orders, and she has clients from almost all over the world.
Ying Lili's painting skills were also taught by her.
After returning from the United States, the studio established by Sayuri Sawamura has been in full operation. The closer it gets to the end of the year, the more game companies from Japan, the United States and Europe enter the game development stage.
After all, during Christmas and New Year, enough employees will receive the annual generous year-end bonus. According to most statistical data, it will generally promote a substantial increase in game sales after these two periods.
Therefore, as long as it is a good order, she basically tries her best to complete it, and she has not relaxed even a little bit during this period of time.
"call……"
Sayuri Sawamura exhaled and felt a sense of fatigue all over her body. She thought to herself: "Oh no, if I keep working like this, I will lose my hair sooner or later in a few months..."
【Dong dong dong. 】
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Sayuri Sawamura's work.
"Miss, it's almost ten o'clock. Do you want to go home now?"
What came from outside the door was the voice of assistant Kimura.
"..."
Sayuri Sawamura looked at the timetable for a moment, and as a result, at this moment, it was already 9:45.
"It turns out that it's already this time, no wonder I feel tired... I understand, that's all for today's work progress." Sayuri Sawamura was stunned for a moment, then rubbed her shoulders a little, and followed the man who was running errands for her outside. Assistant Ms. Kimura said.
"Um---!!"
As a result, Sayuri Sawamura, who had been sitting on a chair for a long time, couldn't help but stretch. When Kimura opened the door, she happened to see the straight and pretty oriental woman's body.
"Forehead……"
For a moment, Kimura felt that there was no happier job in the world than working next to Miss Sawamura.
Sayuri Sawamura stood up. She was still wearing her favorite red and white striped gorgeous kimono. Her slender and well-proportioned figure exuded a unique oriental charm. Her dazzled eyes looked at each other quietly. Looking at the balcony outside the studio and the endless beautiful city, I gradually began to meditate.
Tokyo……
It seems that every time I see the scenery of Tokyo, I can't help but think of someone...
The delicate woman's face hesitated for a moment, as if she was hesitating about something.
"Then, let me inform Mr. Shiraishi..." Kimura took out his mobile phone and said politely to Sayuri Sawamura.
"Wait a mininute……"
A slight smile appeared on Sayuri Sawamura's beautiful face, and she said to Kimura: "Kimura, let's go back at ten o'clock... I just want to make a call to a friend."
Sayuri Sawamura walked to the balcony and stood under the turbulent night sky, facing the gorgeous and luxurious city night scene. The night wind blew and her ears were whistling. She picked up her mobile phone and finally made the long call. Number with no call history.
In the light, that figure looked like a snow-white orchid in the valley, holding a mobile phone in both hands, with a nervous expression on his face, waiting for the call...
【beep--】
【beep--】
【This is Li Yan. 】
Soon, it got through.
"Yes, it's Sayuri, Teacher Uesugi, long time no see."
As soon as Sayuri Sawamura heard this familiar voice, she immediately smiled brightly and said.
"!"
On the other hand, Li Yan, who had just finished all his work, answered the phone in his busy schedule and did not have time to read the name of the caller. As a result, he unexpectedly heard Sayuri Sawamura's voice, which made him pause the operation of the computer. .
"Miss Sawamura, long time no see. Have you returned from the United States?" Li Yan asked with a smile.
[Yes... Actually, I have been back in Japan for almost three weeks. Sorry, I have been so busy that I didn’t call you until now. 】
Sayuri Sawamura's words were full of apology, but her clear and deep voice was quite pleasant. She apologized to Li Yan over the phone.
Li Yan held his mobile phone and understood Sayuri Sawamura's situation quite well, and said: "No, it doesn't matter. After all, I know you have been very busy these days."
[…By the way, I’m calling you this time to ask you, have you received the XBOX ONE game console and some game discs I sent you in the United States? 】
Sayuri Sawamura hesitated for a few seconds and didn't speak again. Speaking of which, she actually didn't have anything special to call her. After greetings, she couldn't find any other topic for a while, and she was silent for a few seconds. After facing the vast and bright night scene, he remembered what happened before and asked hurriedly.
"The gift has been received. Thank you very much Miss Sawamura for giving me this generous gift. I like it very much. Thanks to that game console, I have more convenient resources to study..."
Li Yan took the phone and talked about the gift. In fact, he had always been a little entangled. Why would it be more perfect to give him a PS4 that he dreamed of at a similar price?
However, it was precisely because of the American XBOX ONE that he established a relatively unique gaming style, which can be considered a blessing.
When talking about the game console, Li Yan suddenly thought of something. Sayuri Sawamura is a professional game design artist, and she seems to be very famous. Even the "Monster X-Man" series has works designed by her...
Li Yan deeply understood that as a trainee planner with little experience, he shouldered the responsibility of Eagle Jump's key next game script and trying to restore the fun of the game. He lacked experience in making good games, so he couldn't help but want to consult with someone who had contacted him. Sayuri Sawamura of so many 3A masterpieces talks about game design concepts.
"..."
Li Yan was silent for a while, then finally changed the topic and asked sincerely: "Sorry, Miss Sawamura, um... I actually have a question that I would like to ask. I have recently become interested in the gaming field and would like to ask. Regarding your experience in gaming, I’m not sure if you’re free?”
[Yes, if there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me at any time. What aspect of the game is it about? 】
Sawamura Sayuri didn't seem to expect that Li Yan would be interested in games, so she responded to the question easily over the phone.
Li Yan looked at a bunch of game script settings on his desk, as well as the applicants' drawings, and the entire Eagle Jump company environment.
"Excuse me, how can I make an excellent and interesting game?"
Sawamura Sayuri was slightly startled, with a hint of doubt on her snow-white cheeks. Suddenly, Li Yan began to want to know how to make a good game. She couldn't guess the purpose of the other party's inquiry for a moment, so she expressed her feelings.
[The production of games requires the cooperation of many people, and not one person can determine the quality of the game. The most fundamental thing is that you need an excellent script from the beginning. Any game is inseparable from the initial plot setting, followed by the unique screen design and game features. If every step is well sculpted, it will be born. It's a good game... In short, it's just one sentence, one point of thought and one point of selling point. 】
