Lady Zhao had spoken. There was no longer a reason for Su Li to decline, along with the fact that it was more than decent pay. Su Li also stood to gain much from this job, as there was no way that only one person was in charge of the illustration for such a large scale ga. Before Su Li joined,already had many well-known illustrators, and it was why the ga was still going strong.
This ga company had asked for Su Li’s cooperation, mainly due to the overwhelming beauty of her illustrations. Only she could bring out the naless maiden’s swordplay, especially the skill – “Flight of the Extra-celestial Fairy”
Of course, they also took into account the fact that Su Shi’s entire character design did not fit in such a dark and cold world background. The stark contrast would really make her stand out.
All the prior main illustrators working for this ga were well versed at depressing, oppressive, dark illustrations, which worked extrely well with guy characters, giving them an iken vibe. Yet, this did not roll well with female characters that made them seem even more detached from the players taking away their charm. Also, from the gaming trends, players never showed much interest in the female characters. Instead of improving their relationship with females, they would rather go around exploring and killing.
The filthy rich creator Zha Feng motioned his hands, beckoning Su Li over. He briefed her over the ga’s main characters and the factors that needed to be changed, mainly the change in style for the main woman protagonist.
In reality, all this needed so lengthy thought, as ga art designs and illustrators were practically from different planets and were of different cultures. This was actually a test to see if Su Li would be able to adapt to the team.
Su Li’s induction to the team would serve as great publicity. However, Old Man Zha Feng never once thought of using this as a ans of advertising. He only intended to spill the beans after the DLC has been released.
After all, when the ga ends, their nas would roll through the customary credits. Su Li’s na would definitely pop up in bold letters when they reached the design team.
Su Li herself was not advertising material, but her illustrations had practical use, especially her illustration of Yan Qingng that turned her into a fairy.
It would be unwise to use Su Li as promotion before the dust has settled.
Zhao Youyue trusted Su Li as usual. She believed that Su Li would do well as always. Su Li could serve as a reliable source of intel, if she worked there.
To portray a person’s essence in ink, one needed to know everything about the character, including their personality, experience, habits, minor quirks and etc, to create and illustrate the best possible rendition of a character.
Due to this, Su Li would be able to find out if this naless maiden was a asly side character, or a main character in disguise.
However, Zhao Youyue’s plans were foiled this ti round. Due to how the company kept everything in wraps, she was not able to enter the company and learn everything from the inside. As a result, she never got to learn of the dark, sadistic mind that Zha Feng actually was.
Zhao Youyue ddling was used by Zha Feng to the fullest. He could now show the players the extent of the dark Wuxia world.
Zhao Youyue was an actual, experienced gar, and nothing would prepare her for Zha Feng’s evil intent and tricks.
Nevertheless, all her hard-work of acting as the naless maiden eventually got adopted.
What she did not know was that Zha Feng had even added so extra scenes for the maiden, mainly in the form of flashbacks. “The gut-wrenching, heart-breaking feels,” etc. Zha Feng was already treating the maiden like his own daughter.
As Zhao Youyue claid the fictional world as her stage, she had made sure to act as a girl who had grown up without a childhood, scarred by a tramatic past. However, Zha Feng had tweaked her characteristics ever so little, that she would give off many sad, precious mories that could be used to stimulate the tears of players.
FengHuo gaming company’s webpage hosted their interview with Tencent Gaming Platform. This interview could also be viewed on Tencent’s platform. Players who followed FengHuo’s gaming company through this platform might actually be more than what one might expect. Tencent Gaming Platform was sohow similar to Steam. Simply visiting it would lead one to an advertisent regarding the interview with FengHuo gaming company.
From the video, a man in his thirties who sported black spectacles, and carried so excess weight around his weight could be seen with a warm smile while answering multiple questions in succession. His candid attitude cradled the feelings of players in its arms, spoiling them with love.
“In this new DLC, a female character called Yan Qingng would be introduced. This character has been created by our hardworking team. We noticed that Ye Huolian from the last DLC did not receive much attention, but were instead interested in the newly added skills and clothing. That left a little saddened Our team had a hard ti, as we had put a great deal of effort on the characters – while implenting new features such as the “My Room” function, increasing the variety of weapons, etc. I know that many players see this ga as “Hero of Equipnt Changing,” but”
As Zha Feng spoke endlessly about the new DLC, many comnts started popping up.
“What Hero of Equipnt Changing??? More like – Hero of Pain!!!”
“Witch Ye Huolian’s story might lack feels, but compared to the earliest main girl, Cheng Shan or Luo Shiqi, there was a vast improvent. Let’s just hope that Yan Qingng would co as a surprise to players.”
“Does anyone actually care about the story? All that happens in this ga is: choose a waifu and dress her up. That’s where the real ga is!”
“I get the feeling that Thief Zha Feng has sothing up his sleeves. But as a loyal follower of , I’d get any DLC that cos my way to experience it firsthand. Since Mr. Thief’s gas are not that expensive and are always wholeso.”
“I really like Fenghuo gaming company’s works myself, and I definitely feel the effort the team gave in creating the ga.”
“Diligently create the ga? More like diligently designed the CGs [1]!”
By the end of the video, a 3D illustration of Yan Qingng and her in-ga 3D model was revealed. It featured Yan Qingng – sitting by the side of the Peak of the Emperor’s Step as the setting sun half obscured by the clouds, glowed in the background. It was truly divine.
Without questioning, Su Li took up the job. She started by being in charge of Yan Qingng. What she did not know was that Yan Qingng was just a decoy; a smokescreen for the real main character to hide behind.
Su Li’s godlike skills produced a ‘simple by her standards’ illustration of Yan Qingng. It sent the viewers into a frenzy. In her basic, simple robe, she already possessed such beauty. If her favorability was maxed out, and you unlocked all the costus, to what realm would her beauty ascend to?
