Chapter 45: Overtime Pay!

When he saw Boss Pei’s reply, Huang Sibo was elated.

Indeed, their work was recognized by Boss Pei!

That meant that the direction they had decided on was the one that Boss Pei had wanted – Boss Pei was truly farsighted in his ambitions!

Once again, Pei Qian’s image was elevated in the eyes of Huang Sibo.

“Boss Pei, there’s another problem – the name of the game.”

“Bao Xu wants to name it Ocean Stronghold. I think the name sounds a little strange and gaudy but I’m helpless with names and can’t come up with anything good… do you want to suggest anything instead, Boss Pei?”

‘Ocean Stronghold?’

‘Why does that name sound so familiar?’

Pei Qian suddenly recalled. “That’s right! That name sounds like the title of a movie that had failed 1 in my previous life!”

He was sold right away. “Ocean Stronghold is good! Let’s decide on that!”

“Huh? Are you not going to reconsider it, Boss Pei? We’ve still got time to settle on a final name.”

“It’s fine! Ocean Stronghold sounds good! I love it!”

“Sure thing, Boss Pei. I’ll continue with the design draft then,” Huang Sibo could only accept it.

Pei Qian was delighted.

‘Was the name Ocean Stronghold not good? It was awesome!’

‘It sounds absolutely auspicious!’

‘A sure sign that we’ll lose money!’

‘These guys don’t know what it’s like for a 300 million investment to only reap in 100 million in the box office. That’s what we call a super loss!’

‘Since that movie can make such a huge loss, my game can also lose a couple of millions with a similar name, right?’

‘Yes! What a perfect name for our game!’

Pei Qian was thoroughly satisfied with that name.

…

Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd., at night.

Everyone from the design team was still hard at work.

Huang Sibo and Bao Xu had been doing overtime for the past two days so that they could rush out the design draft as quickly as possible for the game to enter development phase officially.

Everyone else on the design team was assigned other tasks.

Once the draft was done, every single function would have to be dissected into details and that would be completed by the other members of the design team before eventually concluded by Huang Sibo.

That included the model of the game, weaponry and art resources requirements – all of those required cleaning up.

There were many things to handle.

However, Huang Sibo did not request for the others to stay overtime. Instead, they chose to do it on their own accord and Huang Sibo could not even persuade them to leave!

Since he had no choice, he could only let them be.

Their working attitudes were similar to Huang Sibo’s.

All of them were initially bottom feeders at their respective companies, dealing with repetitive work that required no technical skills and were constantly bullied as well.

However, things were different after they arrived at Tengda.

All of them were in charge of a function to engage in independent designs.

The working environment here was relaxed with an understanding boss and friendly colleagues where everyone fought towards a common goal.

Most importantly, the game that they were creating wasn’t one that was going to exploit money through cheap paywalls, it was something that was going to reinvent the current gameplays!

All of these various factors attributed to their deep passion for their job and thus, they were naturally willing to stay for overtime.

Since he had no choice, he could only let them be.

In any case, their overtime would only last a week. Once the design draft was done and the workload was decreased, things should be fine.

Bao Xu spent the period of time rapidly trying out various FPS games as well, especially the massive overseas productions.

Producing a good story for Ocean Stronghold was no easy task.

To engage the gamers emotionally while immersing them in the story through a single little mute girl would require immaculate design.

“Brother Huang, there’s a story portion that I think is rather decent. I’ll record it and send it to you to see if it could be used,” Bao Xu said.

“Alright, Brother Bao. Received.”

Huang Sibo opened the video that Bao Xu sent and checked through the first person perspective of the plot.
