Chi Xing Studio.

Qiao Liang organized the experience report and modification suggestions he had carefully written after playing the game yesterday, and sent them to Cai Jiadong, the chief designer of Chi Xing Studio.

The current "Animal Island" can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. The characters, scenes, basic gameplay, etc. in the game have been done almost, but as a VR game, its biggest advantage has not been fully demonstrated.

Because the characters, scenes, and basic gameplay can be developed completely according to conventional games, it is relatively easy to do.

The innovations designed for the VR game mode, such as grabbing objects from the air, fishing, and archery, need to be coordinated with the hand controllers that are being developed, and gradually adjusted. The range of hand movements and the vibration of the controllers need to be gradually improved.

But just by playing this demo, Qiao Liang already thought it was a lot of fun.

After playing "Animal Island VR," what impressed Qiao Liang the most was its unique art style.

This is an art style that uses cartoon rendering on the basis of Q version. The saturation of various colors is very high. It uses a sense of brushstrokes and large color blocks to depict the blue-green sky, hand-painted clouds, and exaggerated atmospheric perspective, making people feel as if they are in a watercolor painting.

Qiao Liang used a VR headset from a foreign brand that had just come out not long ago to play "Animal Island VR." The resolution was 2K.

If it is the parameters of a regular monitor, 2K is already considered very high-definition. It is basically impossible for the naked eyes of ordinary people to see any pixels, and the clarity is extremely high.

However, in VR glasses, even with a resolution of 2K, it is still difficult to eliminate the screen-door effect, which means that you still get a sense of seeing large pixels.

But after entering "Animal Island VR," this sense of large pixels is alleviated due to the game's unique painting style.

Qiao Liang has learned that the new VR glasses that Chi Xing Studio is designing and developing have a resolution of 4K, which is the highest resolution that current technology can support.

Under this resolution, what kind of display effect will "Animal Island VR" achieve?

Just thinking about it makes people feel very excited!

In addition, the image design in "Animal Island VR" also impressed Qiao Liang.

Anthropomorphic animals with different personalities and appearances but all very cute, the way they walk like they've drunk fake wine, and many design-rich buildings and strangely shaped steampunk-style machines in the game... together constitute a unique and novel world.

After putting on the VR glasses, it really feels like you have traveled to another world.

Of course, during the experience, Qiao Liang also found many problems.

After all, this game is currently only a semi-finished product, with many bugs and some design loopholes.

Qiao Liang recorded all the problems he encountered during the game and sent them to Cai Jiadong.

On the surface, it seems to be doing testing work, but there are actually some differences.

Because in general, game testing will only strictly follow the design draft to check the functions in the game, and verify whether these functions fully meet the designer's design plan. They generally do not make suggestions on the gameplay design.

Qiao Liang, on the other hand, gives his opinions on some of the unreasonable designs in the game from the perspective of a senior player. Obviously, his position is higher and his authority is greater.

After sending another batch of modification suggestions, Qiao Liang looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Today is Friday. Chi Xing Studio inherited Tengda's excellent tradition of not working overtime, so after getting off work on time today, it will be Saturday and Sunday immediately.

Qiao Liang's work for today is over. He took some snacks and drinks with satisfaction, and then secretly opened the fan group.

"During the time I disappeared, did the fans miss me?"

Qiao Liang flipped through the chat history and found that he was thinking too much.

Not only did the fans not miss him, they didn't even notice that he had disappeared.

They were still chatting about whatever they wanted, and the chat history didn't mention the words "Old Qiao" or "Teacher Qiao" at all!

Qiao Liang was a little hurt.

Sure enough, these people are all fake fans, just a bunch of ruthless update-urging machines, who only know to care about the poor content creator when urging video updates!

However, Qiao Liang thought again that the reason why this happened may be because he often lurks.

He doesn't show up in the fan group more than five times a year, and he often disappears when something happens, so it seems reasonable that the fans don't usually discuss him, the dog group owner.

"Okay, let's see what the silly group members have been discussing recently."

Qiao Liang decided not to dwell on this issue anymore, and flipped through the chat history to see the recent discussions among the group members.

"Qidian Chinese Website must have something going on! The authors in the Inspiration Class are working like they've been injected with chicken blood. Several authors are also revising the plot. This is definitely not the behavior of lazy people!"

"This reminds me of Old Qiao. Every time he works like he's been injected with chicken blood, there will be a new episode of *Deification*. Who can contact him and send Old Qiao to the Inspiration Class too?"

"Absolutely not! This Inspiration Class was a large lazy-person incubator a week or two ago. If Old Qiao goes, he might be in his element..."

"I think it's because Old Qiao hasn't updated his videos for too long, and there haven't been any major new games from Tengda recently, so you've been idle. Isn't it just a few authors revising their articles? Is it worth making such a fuss about?"

"Of course it's worth it! You have to know that Tengda is different from other companies. Every time they do something, it's earth-shattering. And every seemingly inconspicuous abnormality may indicate a major event..."

"Where's Old Qiao? He must know some inside information!"

Looking at the group members' discussions, Qiao Liang couldn't help shaking his head.

These people are really idle enough. A few authors revising their articles on Qidian Chinese Website can make them suspect that Tengda is about to make a big move.

Is it necessary to be so conspiratorial?

But thinking about it carefully, this kind of thinking is also understandable. Because Tengda is different from other companies. No matter what industry or field it is in, it is so maverick.

They can attract enough attention by doing anything casually.

It is precisely because Tengda does so many things, and can always create big news, that a group of netizens habitually pay attention to the clues of Tengda's various departments, like a group of paparazzi working at high intensity. The actions of the stars can trigger their gossip psychology and analyze them in a logical manner.

At this time, Qiao Liang, as someone who knows some of Tengda's inside information, felt a sense of superiority.

I have already played "Animal Island VR"! And most players don't even know that Tengda is cooperating with Chi Xing Studio to develop a VR game.

This feeling made Qiao Liang feel a little smug.

It's just a pity that he has to keep it secret and can't reveal the specific details of the project.

Qiao Liang continued to lurk silently, watching the group members analyze the "Recession of the Lazy Syndrome among Authors in the Inspiration Class of Qidian Chinese Website" in a serious manner.

"Are there any big shots who know Tengda insiders? Let's inquire about it."

"Doesn't Old Qiao know President Pei? Let Old Qiao ask."

"The dead group owner has disappeared for so long. Can you find him? He's probably addicted to games or out having fun."

"Don't count on this salted fish anymore. If he continues to be so lazy, he will be abandoned by Tengda."

"That's right. I remember that Old Qiao was invited as a special player to try out *Turn Back is the Shore*. They haven't looked for him recently, obviously because he is too lazy and has lost the qualification for internal testing."

"Alas, my son is disappointing. It hurts my heart as a father!"

Seeing that the discussion in the group was getting more and more outrageous, Qiao Liang couldn't stay calm and continue to lurk.

Look, look, is this human language?

What do you mean I was abandoned by Tengda?

I, Teacher Qiao, am President Pei's good friend, can I be abandoned?

My relationship with President Pei cannot tolerate such slander and defamation!

You can talk nonsense and say anything else, but you must not speculate about my relationship with President Pei!

Qiao Liang immediately replied: "Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean I was abandoned by Tengda? I am now playing Tengda's new game!"

"It's just a pity, there are confidentiality regulations, so I can't reveal it to you, hehe."

Qiao Liang sent several very smug expressions in a row.

The group exploded instantly.

"Damn? Which fishing master actually caught Old Qiao!"

"I knew Old Qiao couldn't stand this kind of aggressive tactic!"

"Tengda's new game? It's already at the stage where it can be tested? That's not right, it hasn't been long since the official release of *Mission and Choice*, is it really that fast?"

"What game is it? Old Qiao, tell us quickly, or I'll curse you!"

Qiao Liang immediately replied: "Hehe, then I have 20 centimeters left!"

"What is lost is obvious, I don't need to say more, right?"

"Forget it, forget it, I'll continue to play the new game. You people who can't play the game can be jealous!"

"Goodbye!"

After sending "Goodbye," Qiao Liang changed his status to "Invisible" at light speed, and then closed the chat box.

Looking at the time, it was almost time to slip away.

Qiao Liang is not a formal employee, he doesn't need to abide by the eight-hour work system, so it doesn't matter at all if he is late or leaves early.

He got up to pack his things, ready to go back and enjoy the weekend.

...

Although Qiao Liang ran away, his fan group was still discussing intensely.

He has several groups, and this one that often pops up is the core fan group, which can accommodate five thousand people as a super group.

Not all of them are fans who watch his videos, there are also many Tengda fans.

Because Qiao Liang can often get some first-hand internal information about Tengda, and several games have become popular after he explained them, many Tengda fans have also mixed in, wanting to pay attention to the latest developments of Tengda from the group.

These people are usually in a lurking state, but as soon as they catch any clues, they immediately look like sharks smelling blood, and their dorsal fins appear above the water!
