Chapter 47: The Legendary Overtime Pay!

Ocean Stronghold’s details were finalized swiftly.

Within a single week, most of the design drafts for the functions were completed duly. Huang Sibo was in charge of overseeing the project and each time he saw a portion which had a differing concept from his and Bao Xu’s, they would have to change it.

At the same time, the group of designers had also started on creating the game’s prototype using the game editor.

Due to their use of universal templates, their initial progress was rather decent. However, they would still require concise finetuning to achieve Huang Sibo and Bao Xu’s intended effects.

The arts team was also assigned to handle the communications with the artists on the resource website for liaison regarding the art resource requirements.

The universal zombie and mercenaries templates as well as the image of the little girl was also being prepared speedily.

Using the image of the little girl as a basis, the members of the arts team on Tengda’s side would have to go back and forth for confirmation between the artists and Huang Sibo and Bao Xu.

There were only three people in charge of the little girl’s image. One of them was the concept artist who was in charge of the original arts as well, another was in charge of her character model and the last was in charge of her movements. Each of them had their own job scopes.

With that entire workflow, the little girl became the most invested character in the game.

For some of the story segments, even her movements and expressions were custom-made – it was clear that they spared no expenses.

But of course, all of it was still within the budget.

The reason for that was because in the overseas AAA games, there were multiple lead characters and every single one of them were created with the same standards. However, Ocean Stronghold only had that single little girl – that was why the budget was still well maintained.

When they occasionally came across better art resources, Huang Sibo would go look for Pei Qian right away.

He would always receive a single big thumbs up: Buy them!

Initially, Huang Sibo would still feel uneasy wondering if it would truly be fine to add on to the purchase budget repeatedly.

If this was any other company, he would have been lambasted by the boss!

From 700,000 to 1,200,000 to 1,500,000…

If this was any other company, Huang Sibo would definitely be tagged with the image of someone that was weak in planning and controlling the budget.

However, in Tengda, Boss Pei not only did not blame him, but was pleased on the contrary!

Huang Sibo could not help but lament that this was the difference in a stage to perform!

‘How can I be so stupid? Boss Pei’s actually trusting me so unconditionally…’

‘He’s doing so with all his love without any need for repayment!’

‘If I don’t produce this game well, I’ll be letting him down!’

…

In the blink of an eye, the end of the month arrived.

It was November 29th, Friday.

For Huang Sibo, that was like any other normal day.

By then, his work was almost completed; work on the design aspect was done with the details handled appropriately and the various resources of the game was in the midst of being created too.

As the chief planner, Huang Sibo’s job scope naturally did not involve things such as handling the game editor personally – he had underlings for that.

His mission was to watch over everyone else of the design team and to ensure that progress was made.

Compared to creating the design draft, this was a much easier job and because of that, Huang Sibo had not stayed overtime for quite awhile.

With sufficient manpower and budget, the progress was within schedule and there was naturally no need for overtime.

Huang Sibo had never realized that work could be so relaxing and pleasing.

Ding!

His phone rang.

When he picked it up, he saw a bank transfer message!

“Huh? Isn’t it 29th today?”

Huang Sibo was stunned.

Most companies would only pay the current month’s salary in the next month.
