After Xie Yunfan returned home, he turned on his computer and began writing the framework of the game. While he was coding, his phone suddenly beeped with a message notification sound.
He thought it was one of his partners from the graduation project team asking him something. Turning his head to look, he unexpectedly saw a familiar avatar—Luo Hang.
Xie Yunfan stopped the work at hand and opened WeChat.
Luo Hang had sent him a text message: “I had finance settle the Q3 profits to you, did you receive it?”
Being busy looking for people and having meetings today, he hadn’t noticed his text messages. Xie Yunfan opened his phone’s messages and indeed saw a notification that read “Your account received a remittance of XXX.” He counted the digits carefully… it was actually 150 million!
A game launched in July having such high net profits in just two short months. In a very good mood, Xie Yunfan sent a smiley face: “Received a massive sum, thank you President Luo!”
Luo Hang: “You’re welcome. The overseas profits won’t be fully settled until October. I’ll transfer them to you all at once then.”
“Okay, no rush.”
Luo Hang paused and said: “I’m negotiating with the agents these few days. After that, I still have to go to Europe for meetings, so I won’t be back until the end of the month. At that time, I’ll fly directly to Rong City to discuss the Fighting Master cooperation with you guys.”
Xie Yunfan: “No problem. My studio is done renovating. When you arrive in Rong City, you can come and take a look around.”
Luo Hang smiled: “Okay.”
Although separated by more than half the globe, the two chatting casually still shared the same tacit understanding as when they worked at Qihang.
Luo Hang asked caringly: “What have you been busy with since school started?”
Xie Yunfan: “Busy with my graduation project.”
Luo Hang was somewhat surprised: “Graduation project? Does the school require you to submit another graduation project? Couldn’t you just submit Underworld Maze directly?”
Xie Yunfan said: “I want to guide a few classmates to do the graduation project together.”
Luo Hang came to an understanding: “So that’s how it is.”
Actually, back when Xie Yunfan took a leave of absence, the school leaders already knew he was the head of Yangfan Studio. The success of Underworld Maze and Ghost Realm was enough to make him an “Honorary Alumnus.”
But Xie Yunfan didn’t want to expose his alternate identity at school; he just wanted to graduate low-key.
Luo Hang suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, university graduation project works can participate in a national competition. With your skills, winning an award shouldn’t be a problem.”
Xie Yunfan asked in confusion: “Competition?”
“Mhm, all graduation project works from game majors can be submitted to compete. Expert judges will score them, and winning works can receive up to 1 million in prize money, plus opportunities to cooperate with professional companies.”
Luo Hang sent him an official website address: “This is the tournament’s official website. You can consider whether you want to participate.”
“Okay, I’ll carefully read the rules later.”
“Mhm, rest early.”
“Goodbye, President Luo~”
After ending the conversation, Xie Yunfan opened the competition’s official website and took a look at the rules.
Currently, more than 40 universities in Hua Nation offered a “Game Design” major. Every winter vacation, there was a “National College Student Game Design Competition.”
This was a competition aimed at design department students, with no grade level restrictions. Formidable students could participate with an original game as early as their freshman year.
The competition was divided into preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals.
With the competition in the winter vacation, there was plenty of time.
For Xie Yunfan, whether he participated in this kind of tournament or not was of little consequence. But for the other few team members, it was very meaningful.
If he could lead the team to win an award, on one hand, it would win honor for the school; on the other hand, with the experience of winning a national competition on the resumes of Ji Yan, Zhou Shiyue, and the others, it would be much easier for them to find jobs after graduation.
Rong City University was Xie Yunfan’s alma mater. The school culture was open and tolerant, and the teachers also cared about him. Given how terribly he acted in the past, he hadn’t been expelled by the school, and when he applied for a leave of absence last semester, the principal didn’t make things difficult for him.
No matter what, Rong City University had been very good to him. Before graduating, he ought to do something for the school.
Having made up his mind, Xie Yunfan saved the official website of the “National College Student Game Design Competition” and continued burying his head in writing the game framework.
Meanwhile, the classmates who were currently looking for inspiration in their dorms had absolutely no idea that Xie Yunfan was already planning to participate in the competition and carry them to victory.
Two days later, Ning Sha arrived in Rong City with a pile of luggage. Xie Yunfan had rented a studio apartment for her in advance.
After settling down in the apartment, Ning Sha sent a message: “Boss, the apartment environment is very nice, thank you for your thoughtfulness! Do I need to go to the company to work?”
“No rush, just stay in the apartment for now. The studio is still in the preparation stage, formal recruitment probably won’t happen until after the new year. During this period, help me draw characters for a mini-game first. I’ll settle your payment separately at commercial commission rates.”
Ning Sha said readily: “No problem!”
Xie Yunfan sent her the detailed character settings.
Ning Sha opened them and took a careful look.
For an instrument anthropomorphism game, the character concept art had to highlight the characteristics of the instruments.
For example, the setting for the pipa was a bright and glamorous woman with her hair in an exquisite bun, holding a pipa in her arms and covering half her face. The “holding a pipa to half-conceal her face” setting would look very aesthetically pleasing when drawn.
The guzheng was a gentle and elegant woman with long, waist-length black hair. Her clothes were of a fresh and understated color palette, and she could be drawn sitting in a pavilion with her head lowered, playing the zither.
The bamboo flute’s tone was crisp and pleasing to the ear, so it would be drawn as a dashing and handsome young man, sitting freely on a tree branch, playing a melody. The dongxiao’s sound was deep and steady, so the character image was an elegant young master sitting in a small boat in the middle of a lake, highlighting an artistic mood.
The erhu’s tone was very evocative of stories, so it would be drawn as a bearded old grandfather with a background of yellow sand and vast deserts, giving people a sense of desolation and loneliness.
The yangqin was a lively and cute young girl; the konghou was a gentle and dignified young lady; the bianzhong was a muscular handsome man…
Every instrument had its corresponding character design.
After reading it, Ning Sha replied: “Boss, you just want me to draw the character images and backgrounds, without needing to design the clothes separately, is that what you mean?”
Xie Yunfan: “Yes. For each instrument, draw one full-body character portrait, and then draw one card codex entry with a background.”
Ning Sha: “Understood, I’ll hurry and show you the drafts!”
A week later, the graduation project team had its first meetup meeting.
Xie Yunfan brought the team members to the Traditional Music Club’s activity location.
Yan Ke had the key to the activity room. Coming here meant they could listen to her selected tracks in real time without worrying about the noise disturbing others.
Xie Yunfan handed the printed agreements to his classmates: “Everyone, take a look. If there are no problems, sign and press your fingerprints.”
The agreement stipulated the game’s profit distribution. After deducting costs, the net profit would be split with 25% going to Chief Planner Xie Yunfan, and 15% to everyone else.
If any team member withdrew halfway or, due to personal mistakes (plagiarizing others’ creative ideas, leaking game gameplay, etc.), caused a negative impact on the game, they would automatically forfeit their profit distribution and would have to compensate for the losses of the other team members.
The copyright for the game’s concept art belonged to Xie Yunfan. Other free assets like music, scenery, etc., were already shared copyrights and didn’t need extra stipulations.
The plot was written by Zhou Shiyue. Xie Yunfan had discussed it with her privately, and Zhou Shiyue stated: “It’s just a few short stories. I wouldn’t be able to finish a graduation project by myself anyway. I’ll just give the copyright directly to you, you arrange it however you see fit.”
Anyway, if the game made money, she would get a share of the profits. She wasn’t some great author, and it was impossible to take these few short stories to publish them separately, so it didn’t matter.
Yan Ke asked curiously: “Can our game make a profit?”
Xie Yunfan joked: “Regardless of whether it can make a profit, it’s better to fix the profit distribution in advance. Lest we make money in the future, and everyone tears each other apart all the way to court over uneven distribution of interests.”
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
There had indeed been such examples in recent years. The graduation project of a certain key university sold for several million, and the three people involved in the design turned against each other over profit distribution, taking the case to court and making it known to everyone…
Money and interests truly tested human nature. Xie Yunfan’s concerns were well-founded. Signing an agreement in advance meant that no matter how much or how little they earned in the future, no one could say anything else.
Ji Yan scratched his head and said: “Yunfan, isn’t taking 15% a bit much for us? The gameplay concepts for this game were all designed by you. You taking 50% and the rest of us taking 10% each would be more reasonable, right?”
Xie Yunfan said straightforwardly: “It doesn’t matter. The game copyright is in my hands. In the future, whatever money it sells for, I’ll split with everyone together. The graduation project is the result of everyone’s cooperation. Your tasks coming up are also very heavy, so take whatever you’re supposed to take.”
He simply took out a pen and an inkpad: “Come, let’s all sign. Six copies in total, one for each person.”
Everyone quickly lowered their heads, signed, and pressed their fingerprints.
At this moment, everyone felt this game wouldn’t make money. But the moment they signed the agreement, they still felt quite happy inside—Yunfan had foresight. At least in the future, they wouldn’t fall out over matters of interest.
They were all quite satisfied with a 15% profit!
After signing the agreement, Xie Yunfan continued: “Everyone report your progress. Shiyue, you go first.”
Zhou Shiyue said: “I wrote two stories. The dialogue details still need some changes, let me show everyone.”
She sent two short scripts to the group. Xie Yunfan looked closely. The two stories were quite short; when made into in-game plots, they would only last about 1 minute. The character dialogues were very concise, and the style was fresh and natural without forced sentimentality.
He was very surprised by Zhou Shiyue’s writing and plot control abilities; she was indeed very impressive. She said she wrote novels; she was probably a big shot, right?
Xie Yunfan also felt it inappropriate to pry into her privacy, so he just praised her briefly: “Very well written, just write about 10 short stories in this rhythm.”
Zhou Shiyue: “Okay, I’ll look for more inspiration later.”
Xie Yunfan looked at Yan Ke: “Is the music selected?”
Yan Ke said: “I selected 10 pieces first, everyone take a listen.” She turned around, connected her phone to the Traditional Music Club’s speakers, and started playing the selected tunes.
Being a level-ten pipa player after all, the tunes Yan Ke picked had a very strong sense of rhythm, making them highly suitable for a tap-to-the-beat mini-game.
Xie Yunfan praised: “The track selection is good, they are all classic pieces, very suitable for adapting into a rhythm game.” He looked at Ji Yan: “How are things on A-Yan’s end?”
Ji Yan reported: “I made 10 levels. Each level is divided into Simple and Hard modes.” He sent a document to the group: “These are the specific level data.”
Xie Yunfan looked at it and said: “The upgrade process isn’t smooth enough, the increase in proficiency values jumps too much.”
Ji Yan immediately said: “Mhm mhm, I’ll change it again.”
Xie Yunfan encouraged: “Overall, the design is good, we’ll adjust the details later.” He looked at another roommate: “What about you, Kairan?”
Xu Kairan said, his face red: “I made a version of the UI design, but I don’t think it looks very good… you guys take a look.”
Xie Yunfan leaned over and took a peek. This operating interface was overly flashy with various colored light effects, which indeed didn’t fit the game’s style.
He prompted: “Try integrating the characteristics of the instruments. Like the guzheng—the background of the operating interface can have some landscapes, slightly blurred, while the middle of the interface is made into a string control area.”
“For a 4-key (4K) song, notes will only appear on 4 strings at the same time; 6K means 6 notes, 8K uses 8 strings, and the other strings serve only as decoration.”
“The flute follows the same logic. Make a horizontal flute control area with notes falling vertically, so players don’t feel it’s too chaotic when operating.”
“Rhythm game controls must be simple and easy for beginners. You can listen to different music to find inspiration.”
When Xu Kairan first started making the UI, his mind was completely blank, but after hearing Xie Yunfan say this, he felt instantly enlightened!
If the controls were too complex, players would drop the game directly. While innovating the interface style, the essence remained the 4K/6K/8K operating mode, allowing players to quickly adapt.
For a game to succeed, every single detail was very important.
Xu Kairan said excitedly: “Understood! I’ll remake a version and try it out.”
Zhang Zizheng was responsible for game testing. Right now, the game hadn’t been made yet, so he had been acting as an assistant to Yan Ke this week.
Xie Yunfan said: “Ah-Zheng, continue helping Yan Ke record the music. Go to a professional recording studio, and come to me for reimbursement of the expenses. Yan Ke, have the classmates from the Traditional Music Club do a favor and hurry to get these 10 tunes recorded first.”
Yan Ke: “Received!”
Xie Yunfan said: “Everyone else continue with the parts you’re responsible for, see you next week.”
A week passed quickly.
When they met again on the weekend, everyone had made some progress.
Ji Yan’s adjusted level data was much more reasonable than last time. Zhou Shiyue had written two new story plots. This mysterious big shot truly excelled at writing stories, and Xie Yunfan read them with great relish.
Xu Kairan had finished the UI operating interface for the guzheng music first. Xie Yunfan discovered that this roommate was quick to catch on and quite imaginative. The color palette coordination and the interface special effects were all very fresh and beautiful.
Yan Ke finished recording the demos for the 10 pieces of music and shared them in the group.
On Xie Yunfan’s end, he had already finished writing the game framework.
Next, he just needed to design the rhythms for the different songs and import them into each level to produce a prototype of the game.
Xie Yunfan continued assigning tasks: “Yan Ke prepare to select the second batch of higher-difficulty tunes; everyone else continue working forward. I will compile the currently completed parts. Once the game is out, Ah-Zheng will immediately take it to test.”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Under Xie Yunfan’s arrangements, everyone felt highly motivated.
For the first time, they discovered that having an impressive chief planner on the team made game production truly structured and yielded twice the result with half the effort.
Making significant progress every week felt like watching the seeds you planted slowly sprouting right before your eyes. This feeling was simply amazing!
Over the two days of the weekend, Xie Yunfan worked overtime at home. He imported the current stage’s content into the written game framework and handled some connections.
There was no need to throw money at effects for a graduation project work. If free assets could be used, he would just rely on the asset library. He planned to do the plot animations and the Music Soul collection system last, finishing the rhythm game levels first.
After completing the first level, he packaged the game and sent it to Zhang Zizheng.
Receiving the installation package, Zhang Zizheng roared excitedly in the dorm: “Damn, brothers, the first level is out!”
Ji Yan leaned over excitedly: “Quick, quick, open it and play it to try!”
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zizheng’s hands trembled slightly as he opened the game installation package—who could understand! He had played hundreds of games growing up, but this was his first time playing a game made by his own classmate.
The first test demo didn’t have an opening animation or even a login/registration interface, dropping straight into the first level.
The music played, and notes fell slowly.
The interface was designed by Xu Kairan. The blurred landscape background looked very atmospheric, and note symbols appeared on the strings.
The first song was very simple, and Zhang Zizheng hit a 125 combo in one breath.
Xie Yunfan asked: “How do the controls feel?”
Zhang Zizheng pondered for a moment and said: “Feels not quite smooth? The rhythm is often slightly off, and when pressing a note, there’s a delay of a fraction of a second before getting feedback.”
Xie Yunfan: “Okay, I’ll try changing it.”
Half an hour later, he sent another installation package: “Try again?”
Zhang Zizheng tried it and said: “This time it’s too sensitive, very unfriendly to clumsy players. And I feel this special effect is a bit glaring, the text is too big and easily causes misjudgments.”
Xie Yunfan modified the system feedback time. Ji Yan and Xu Kairan also hurried to change various special effect and character data.
The few of them constantly tested and modified it, continuing deep into the night until Zhang Zizheng finally said excitedly: “I feel the controls in this version are extremely smooth!”
Xie Yunfan: “No rush to finalize it, play it a few more times tomorrow to see.”
As a hardcore gamer, Zhang Zizheng had rich gaming experience and extremely fast hand speed, so he could acutely perceive whether the controls were smooth or not.
The next day, Zhang Zizheng played it a few more times and said, “I feel it’s quite good.”
Xie Yunfan said: “This is the easiest song, so the feeling of the controls might not be that clear. We’ll continue testing when the difficulty increases; we must strive for perfection.”
Zhang Zizheng: “Understood!”
The chat records of the Graduation Project Squad easily hit 999+.
Everyone earnestly threw themselves into the work.
The feeling of the entire team working together with one heart to accomplish a single thing was very passionate and exciting. Meeting such an earnest and united team during their university years was perhaps their good fortune, right? Everyone also cherished this opportunity greatly.
They tested the control mode dozens of times, ultimately settling on the smoothest version. The rhythm, interface, fonts, special effects… these things that affected the player’s experience were also modified through several versions.
Everyone was busy.
Instead, Xie Yunfan was relatively unoccupied.
For this kind of mini-game, there were many things he didn’t need to personally oversee. Ji Yan, Xu Kairan, and the others hadn’t attended university for years for nothing. He just needed to assign the tasks, write the programming framework well, and let his classmates make the modifications themselves.
During this period, Xie Yunfan was hurrying to review and prepare for exams.
For the subjects he failed from freshman to junior year, as long as the school arranged make-up exams, he went to take them, trying his best to get passing scores in every course.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was October.
Luo Hang returned from abroad and headed straight for Rong City. Xie Xinghe personally drove to pick him up and booked the highest-end local restaurant to entertain the VIP guest.
Xie Yunfan took a taxi to meet the two.
Luo Hang was in a formal suit, and his older brother also wore a suit today. Only Xie Yunfan wore jeans and a short-sleeved shirt, looking full of student energy, seemingly having a generation gap with the two “successful men” dressed up.
Xie Xinghe whispered in his brother’s ear: “We’re discussing business, and you didn’t even change clothes, just coming here like this?”
Xie Yunfan said calmly: “It doesn’t matter. I’ve worked with Luo Hang for over half a year and we’re already very familiar. He doesn’t care about this stuff.”
Luo Hang looked at Xie Yunfan, a smile appearing on his lips: “Haven’t seen you in a month, your condition is much better. Looks like you haven’t been staying up late recently?”
Xie Yunfan said straightforwardly: “I indeed haven’t stayed up late recently, I go to bed punctually at 11. The graduation project isn’t urgent anyway, not like when making Ghost Realm and pulling night shifts every day.”
Luo Hang said: “At that time, we had to rush to launch before Vampire, it was indeed hard work.”
Xie Yunfan smiled: “It’s fine, you worked overtime just the same. Making games, overtime is perfectly normal.” He paused and asked, “By the way, what happened to that Vampire game later? I didn’t pay much attention.”
Luo Hang said: “Their domestic revenue is very poor, far worse than the first game. But it sells quite well overseas; the European and American markets eat up this kind of theme.”
He pulled a spreadsheet from a folder: “This is the financial report for Ghost Realm‘s overseas sales. International remittances take some time; once it arrives, I’ll transfer it to you.”
Xie Yunfan looked carefully at the report and sighed: “After deducting various operational and agency fees, the profits still add up to over 100 million. This game really can make money.”
Xie Xinghe was very surprised: “Are the overseas profits this much too?”
Luo Hang said: “Mhm, our Ghost Realm has a unique style and novel gameplay, and the reviews among the foreign player base are also very good.”
Xie Yunfan changed the subject and said: “By the way, I’ve already spoken to my brother about Fighting Master. You two can discuss the specific form of cooperation.”
Luo Hang looked at Xie Xinghe: “Mr. Xie, the game Fighting Master has many problems. We need to take it back to overhaul it, and we will also be responsible for the later-stage promotion and publishing. Regarding profits, Qihang takes 60%, what do you think?”
Xie Xinghe hurriedly said: “No problem!” He had previously been prepared to take only 20% of the profits. Luo Hang directly giving him 40% was truly generous enough.
Luo Hang asked: “Will the game be listed under Yangfan Studio’s name, or will you cooperate with Qihang under your personal name?”
Before Xie Xinghe had time to answer, Xie Yunfan took the initiative to say: “Let it be under my brother’s name, this game is his painstaking work.”
Xie Xinghe’s heart warmed, and he smiled and said: “Mhm, I’ll listen to Yunfan.”
Luo Hang said: “I hope Mr. Xie can come to the Imperial Capital with me. As for how exactly the game will be modified, our planners will need to discuss it with you at any time.”
Xie Xinghe looked at him in disbelief: “I can also participate in the production?”
Luo Hang smiled: “This was originally your game, of course, you can participate. However, by yourself, you can’t be the chief planner directly like Yunfan.”
Luo Hang said this very tactfully. Actually, Xie Xinghe was also clear in his heart that he didn’t have his brother’s ability to be a chief planner. The consequence of him being the chief planner was Fighting Master dying suddenly and being pulled off shelves half a month after launch.
He absolutely didn’t dare to do it again.
It was better to let Qihang’s people be the chief planner. He would just go act as an assistant, offer some opinions, and focus on participating.
The two sides pleasantly reached a consensus and confirmed the signing time.
Luo Hang asked casually: “How is Yunfan’s graduation project coming along?”
Xie Yunfan took out his phone, opened the installation package, and handed it to Luo Hang: “It’s a rhythm game, not finished yet. Do you want to play a bit and try it?”
Luo Hang opened the game, played two rounds as a trial, and evaluated: “The controls are very smooth, and the sense of rhythm is controlled very well. It’s just that the content is a bit sparse, right?”
Xie Yunfan said: “There hasn’t been time to import the plots and codex entries yet; this is just a preliminary level test version.” He paused and said: “In the future, this kind of rhythm game can also be implanted into holographic games.”
Luo Hang understood: “Like Yezi Xi, making it into a casual gameplay feature?”
Xie Yunfan: “Yes. The guzheng and pipa in the holographic game will be replicated one-to-one from real-world instruments, giving players the realistic sensation of playing the instrument themselves. Many players who haven’t learned instruments in their childhood can also fulfill their dreams in holographic games.”
Playing the pipa in a holographic game? Or bowing the erhu and blowing the flute? As long as you match the system’s music rhythm, you can play a smooth melody. Even people who have never learned an instrument can equally experience the joy of playing one.
It sounded very interesting.
Luo Hang praised: “This idea is good. Making a standalone holographic rhythm game wouldn’t have good prospects, but implanting it into large-scale games as a casual gameplay feature will definitely be very popular among players.”
Xie Yunfan said: “I think so too.”
Xie Xinghe asked curiously: “Do you plan to put this rhythm game on shelves for sale?”
Xie Yunfan said: “I’m making this game not to make money, but to promote traditional music. We’ll see how it goes then. If we directly list it for sale on Mobile Games Home, the price will be kept under 5 yuan.”
A game under 5 yuan, after deducting transaction fees, was essentially giving it away for free.
Xie Yunfan truly didn’t care about that tiny bit of profit. Setting the price cheaper meant more people would buy it, which would also be more beneficial for “promoting traditional music.”
After lunch ended, the two brothers took Luo Hang for a stroll around the studio.
“The renovation is very beautiful, and the space is spacious. The scenery downstairs is also quite nice, and the air is very fresh.” Luo Hang joked, “I even want to come work at your place now.”
Xie Yunfan said enthusiastically: “Welcome to jump ship!”
Luo Hang put away his jokes, looked at him, and said: “Tomorrow I’ll have the manager of the Rong City branch send over a batch of gaming cabins for you, to put in the experience center on the 20th floor.”
A Qihang gaming cabin cost over ten thousand per unit. However, they would have opportunities to cooperate in the future and needed gaming cabins for testing, so there was no need to stand on ceremony with him.
Xie Yunfan said: “Thank you, I’ll just treat it as a grand opening gift sent by President Luo?”
Luo Hang smiled slightly: “Mhm. When you officially open for business, I’ll come again to congratulate you.”
In the afternoon, Luo Hang was picked up by the manager of the Rong City branch.
Xie Yunfan and his brother headed home together. On the way back, he proactively brought up: “Brother, with Ghost Realm getting 150 million in domestic profit plus 100 million from overseas, you don’t have to worry about the bank loan you owe. This game will continue making money in the second half of the year, and the Ghost Marriage event will definitely yield a massive income too. The bank’s monthly interest is quite high; do you want to repay the loan early?”
“No need.” Xie Xinghe lowered his head somewhat ashamedly and said, “As an older brother, how can I let you help repay the money? When I cooperate with Qihang, if Fighting Master can make money then, I’ll slowly repay it myself.”
“…Alright.” Xie Yunfan didn’t force it. After all, his brother also had his self-esteem. Repaying the money he owed himself would probably make him feel more at ease, right?
Regardless, the Xie family’s economic crisis was considered completely turned over on a new page.
**
A month passed quickly.
In the Graduation Project Squad’s group chat, there were more and more messages. By late October, the game’s prototype was already finished.
With the character portraits and card codex entries loaded, the game immediately ascended to a new level. Previously, the game was bare-faced, but now it was dressed up in splendid attire.
Yan Ke couldn’t help but say: “The flute and dongxiao are way too handsome! To collect their portraits, I could grind for Music Soul Fragments for a whole week!”
Ji Yan liked the pipa young lady the most, and Xu Kairan thought the guzheng little sister was more beautiful. Zhou Shiyue actually liked the erhu old grandfather very much, saying that the old grandfather looked full of stories at first glance, and she wanted to exchange for the erhu codex entry first.
At the end of October, the plot animations were completed, all the musical notes were completed, and the final versions of the special effects, control system, and level data were finally finalized.
On November 1st, the complete demo version of the game was officially born!
Thinking back from forming the team at the start of the semester to now when the game was completely finished, in just two short months, they had been very busy every day…
But they were happily busy.
Xie Yunfan sent a message in the Graduation Project Squad group chat: “@AllMembers, everyone has worked hard. I’ve sent the final demo to the group. Everyone test-play it for a few days. If there are no bugs, I will submit it to the school for review.”
Everyone replied one after another: “Received!”
