1102 Teacher Qiao Was Baited Out

June 15th, Friday…

Slow Movement Studio.

Qiao Liang sorted out the experience report and modification opinions that he had written seriously after the trial yesterday and sent it to the chief designer of Slow Movement Studio, Cai Jiadong.

At the moment, "Animal Island" was only considered a semi-finished product. The characters, scenes, basic gameplay, and so on in the game were more or less done. However, as a VR game, its greatest advantage had not been revealed.

That was because characters, settings, and basic gameplay could be developed according to conventional games. It was considered a breeze.

On the other hand, innovations in the design for VR game modes such as telekinesis, fishing, archery, and so on had to be slowly perfected with the controller that was being developed, slowly adjusting the school, the range of the hand movements and the vibration of the controller.

However, Qiao Liang already felt that this DEMO was very fun after trying it out.

After trying out "Animal Island VR", the one thing that left the deepest impression on Qiao Liang was its unique art style.

It was an art style based on cartoonish rendering. The saturation of various colors was very high. Using a brush stroke and a large color block, it depicted a blue-green sky, hand-drawn clouds, and an exaggerated atmospheric perspective. It made people feel like they were in a pink painting.

Qiao Liang had used a pair of VR glasses from a foreign brand when playing "Animal Island VR". The resolution was 2K.

If it was the parameters of a regular monitor, 2K was considered very high resolution. Ordinary people would not be able to see any pixels with the naked eye. The clarity was very high.

However, even with a 2K resolution, it was still difficult to eliminate the grille effect in the VR glasses. In other words, it still felt like there were grains of fruit when looking at things.

However, after entering Animal Island VR, this feeling was relieved by the unique style of the game.

Qiao Liang had already understood that the new VR glasses that Slow Movement Studio was designing and developing had a resolution of 4K. It was the highest resolution that the current technical level could support.

What kind of display effect would Animal Island VR achieve under this resolution?

Just thinking about it made him look forward to it!

Apart from that, the image design in "Animal Island VR" left a deep impression on Qiao Liang.

Different characters, different appearances, but all very cute anthropomorphic animals, their posture as if they were drinking fake alcohol while walking, many buildings filled with design in the game, strange machines in the style of steam technology… Together, they formed a unique and novel world.

After putting on the VR glasses, he really felt like he had transmigrated to another world.

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

After all, this game was only a semi-finished product. There were many bugs and some design loopholes.

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

On the surface, it looked like they were doing testing, but there was actually a difference.

That was because generally speaking, game tests would strictly follow the design manuscript to verify the functions of the game. They would verify if these functions were completely in line with the designer's design plan and would not normally raise any opinions on the gameplay design.

On the other hand, Qiao Liang expressed his opinions on some unreasonable designs in the game from the perspective of an experienced player. Obviously, his position was higher and his authority was higher.

After sending another batch of amendments, Qiao Liang looked at the time. It was already three in the afternoon.

It was Friday. Slow Movement Studio had inherited Tengda's tradition of not working overtime. Thus, it would be Saturday and Sunday soon after work today.

Qiao Liang's work for the day was done. He took some snacks and drinks and secretly opened his fan group with satisfaction.

"Did my fans miss me while I was gone?"

Qiao Liang flipped through his chat history and realized that he was overthinking.

Not only did the fans not miss him, they did not even realize that he had disappeared.

They continued chatting as usual. The conversation did not include the words 'Old Qiao' nor 'Teacher Qiao'!

Qiao Liang was a little hurt.

Indeed, this group of people were fake fans. They were just a group of heartless machines urging for updates. They only knew to care about the poor UP Master when they were urging the video to be updated!

However, on further thought, Qiao Liang realized that such a situation might only happen because he often went diving.

He did not appear in the fan group more than five times in a year. Whenever he was busy, he would often disappear. Thus, it seemed reasonable that the fans did not discuss about him, the dog group leader.

"Alright, let's see what the lame friends have been discussing recently."

Qiao Liang decided not to dwell on this problem anymore. Instead, he scrolled through the chat history and read the contents of the group chat.

"Zhongdian Chinese Network is definitely up to something! The authors in the inspiration class are all working hard, and a few of them are even revising the plot. This is definitely not something that slackers should do!"

"This reminds me of Old Qiao. Every time he works hard, there will be a new episode of Products of the Gods. Who can contact him to send Old Qiao to the inspiration class?"

"Please don't! This inspiration class was a large-scale salted fish petri dish a week or two ago. Old Qiao would probably be like a fish in water…"

"I think it's because Old Qiao hasn't updated his videos for too long. Tengda hasn't had any large-scale new games recently, so you guys have nothing to do. Aren't there just a few authors editing their novels? Is there a need to make such a fuss?"

"Of course there is! You have to know that Tengda is different from other companies. Every time it stirs up trouble, it would be earth-shaking. Every seemingly inconspicuous little abnormality might herald a stir…"

"Where's Old Qiao? He must know something!"

Qiao Liang could not help but shake his head as he read the group chat.

These people were really free. A few authors on Zhongdian Chinese Network edited their work and it made them wonder if Tengda was going to make a big move.

Was there a need for such conspiracy theories?

However, on further thought, this idea was understandable. That was because Tengda was different from other companies. It was unique no matter what industry or field it was in.

Anything could be eye-catching.

It was precisely because Tengda was causing so much trouble that it could generate huge news every time. Thus, a group of netizens habitually followed the clues of Tengda's various departments. They were like a group of paparazzi working hard. The every move of the celebrities could trigger their gossip mentality and analyze it logically.

At that moment, Qiao Liang felt a sense of superiority as someone who knew some inside information about Tengda.

I've already tried playing 'Animal Island VR'! Most players did not even know that Tengda was working with Slow Movement Studio to develop VR games.

This feeling made Qiao Liang secretly happy.

It was a pity that he had to keep it a secret and could not reveal the specific details of this project.

Qiao Liang continued to dive silently as he watched the group of friends analyze the 'Zhongdian Chinese Network's Inspiration Class Author's Salted Fish Syndrome' seriously.

"Does any big boss know anyone from Tengda?"

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

"How long has the dead group leader been gone for? Can you find him? He's probably addicted to games or out playing."

"Don't count on this lazy bum anymore. If he continues to be so lazy, Tengda will abandon him."

"That's right. I remember that Old Qiao was invited as a special tester to try Repent and be Saved previously. I haven't been looking for him recently. Obviously, he's too lazy and has lost the right to try the game internally."

"Sigh, my son is useless. My heart hurts as a father!"

Qiao Liang could no longer remain calm seeing that the discussion in the group was getting more and more ridiculous.

Look, look. Was this human language?

What do you mean by I've been abandoned by Tengda?

I, Teacher Qiao, am Boss Pei's good friend. How could I be abandoned?

My relationship with Boss Pei cannot tolerate such slander!

You can spout nonsense and say everything else, but you must not guess at my relationship with Boss Pei!

Qiao Liang immediately replied, "Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by I've been abandoned by Tengda? I'm trying Tengda's new game now!"

"It's just a pity that there are confidentiality regulations that cannot be revealed to you, hehe."

Qiao Liang sent a few very arrogant emojis.

The group chat exploded.

"Holy sh*t! Which Great Fishing Master really baited Old Qiao out!"

"I knew that Old Qiao would not be able to take such a provocation!"

"Tengda's new game? It's already at the stage where you can try it out? Something's not right, right? 'Mission and Choice' was officially released not long ago. Is it really that fast?"

"What game? Old Qiao, hurry up and say it. Otherwise, I'll curse your d*ck to be five centimeters shorter!"

Qiao Liang immediately replied, "Hehe, even if that is the case, I'll still have 20 centimeters left!"

"I'm fishing for fish. I don't have to explain what's missing, right?"

"Forget it, forget it. I'll continue playing the new game. Go and be envious of those who can't play the game!"

"Goodbye!"

After sending "Goodbye", Qiao Liang quickly changed his state to "invisible" and closed the chat window.

He looked at the time. It was almost time to slip away.

Qiao Liang was not an official employee. He did not need to follow the eight-hour work schedule. It did not matter if he was late or left early.

He got up and packed his things, preparing to go back and enjoy this weekend.

…

Qiao Liang might have left but his fans were still discussing it intensely.

He had several groups. The one he often visited was a core fan group which could accommodate 5,000 people in a supergroup.

There were not only fans who watched his video, but many fans of Tengda as well.

That was because Qiao Liang often obtained first-hand internal information about Tengda. Several games only became popular after his commentary. Thus, many Tengda fans joined in, wanting to follow Tengda's latest developments in the group.

These people were usually in a diving state. However, they were like sharks that smelled blood once they found any clues. Their fins would be revealed!
