With the desert and scimitars, how can we be without cavalry?
It just so happens that the people in the third development department have all learned how to ride horses, so we'll send the horses to the desert park so that everyone can experience what it's like for desert cavalry to move, encounter enemies, and fight.
If you don’t understand this, how can you make games?
The only thing left is to solve the problem of equipment. An Yan will take care of this, so she is not in a hurry.
But at this moment she thought of the tattooed female consultant again.
In excitement, she called Boss Pei directly.
"Dad, I want to get our family logo tattooed on my arm!"
Boss Pei almost spit out his tea, wondering if he had given birth to a mobile billboard.
"Little goose, listen to my advice, tattoos won't make you taller."
Pei E was stunned and asked curiously: "Will tattoos affect my development?"
Boss Pei said earnestly, "It won't affect your development, but it will affect me breaking your legs."
Chapter 291 [End of July]
The third development department was working in the northwest, and Gu Qingshi was not idle either.
The correct way is that the fire flows westwards, and the weather turns cold, which means autumn has arrived. In a blink of an eye, it is the end of July and the weather starts to turn cooler.
In the bedroom.
Gu Qingshi was watching a video when she suddenly received a message from Li Xiaomeng.
It’s not the usual short video or funny picture, but a rather long video with a desert on the cover.
Gu Qingshi glanced at it but didn't react.
But she really didn't know what An Yan and the others were doing in the Northwest.
When I opened the video, I could only see the west wind blowing yellow sand and the endless desert. A team of cavalrymen marched in formation, with tall horses wearing saddles, and the soldiers on horseback wearing armor, holding long spears, long swords hanging on their waists, and bows and arrows on their backs.
If they hadn't walked like puppet troops, it would have been quite intimidating.
Gu Qingshi couldn't help laughing when she saw the clown walking at the end, riding a one-meter-tall pony and wearing something that looked like an armor dress.
Others look majestic in their iron armor, but Li Xiaomeng is different——
Most of his face was buried in the neck guard, and his armor skirt was dragged all the way to his knees. It was obvious that his full body defense was top-notch.
"An Yan and the others are really good at having fun."
Gu Qingshi smiled but didn't care.
As soon as she saw it, she knew that An Yan was finding new ways to clear the budget.
The budget for Mount and Blade is more abundant than that for Baldur's Gate. If Anyan doesn't do something, I'm afraid the money won't be spent.
Budget, budget, if you can’t spend it all you’ll be losing money.
She tapped on the keyboard and sent a message to Li Xiaomeng: "How is the progress of the project in the third department?"
After a while, Li Xiaomeng replied.
"The modeling of the cultural relics has been completed, the framing work has also been completed, and the rest has just been put into development. Now Panshi and the outsourced studio are in charge."
An Yan finally chose a shameless tactic and dumped a large part of the work on Panshi's labor dispatch team.
Free labor is not used in vain.
Seeing that the preparations for the third development department were almost done, Gu Qingshi said, "We'll make a demo next month and let An Yan test the results first."
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"A little worried."
Gu Qingshi was worried that Panshi had messed up the mission.
This game has similarities with "Lexington". Rock Stone may directly apply the Lexington template.
If something does go wrong, it will be convenient to turn around while the game is still in the early stages of development.
"okay!"
When Li Xiaomeng heard that it was none of her business and she was just responsible for passing on the message, she immediately became active.
Gu Qingshi turned off the communication software and continued watching videos.
The video that Li Xiaomeng had just sent suddenly appeared on the homepage of the website.
“It’s really big data…”
Gu Qingshi muttered, feeling that her privacy was violated.
I clicked on the video and saw that it was indeed not bad.
Apart from the different perspective, everything else is the same.
Gu Qingshi guessed that this must have been taken by a passerby.
As soon as she opened the comment section, Gu Qingshi's lips curled up slightly.
"We still have Boy Scouts in the Tang Dynasty?"
“It feels like the director’s kid is here to join in the fun.”
"A great researcher has appeared. May I ask what kind of movie this is?"
"This armor is quite exquisite. Look at the folded collar, the narrow sleeves, the yellow and blue striped tight pants... This is the classic warrior dress of the ancient Kucha Kingdom, but it is a little different from the existing murals. I don't know if it has been modified in modern times.
"What the boy scout next to him is wearing is a bit interesting. He is wearing a Ming Guang armor, a classic Central Plains armor. The helmet has a collar and ear guards, a collar guard on the neck, the lower edge of the upper ear guard is turned up, and there is a long tassel on the top, and it is decorated with flame patterns. This should be the style before the middle Tang Dynasty. But the Tang sword he is holding is similar to the late Tang sword unearthed two years ago. The armor and weapons of different regimes in the early, middle and late Tang dynasties are mixed together... The crew has done some research, but not much."
"There is nothing wrong with the above textual research, but there is another possibility. Is this performance about a group of ragtag troops?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"I don't care whether this armor has any historical research or not, I just want to ask what this is about? I have never seen a movie specifically about the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, I want to see it!"
"Don't talk nonsense upstairs, Journey to the West also passed through the Western Regions."
The helmet covered Li Xiaomeng's face, leaving only her eyes exposed. No one recognized her and they just thought she was from a crew filming a costume historical drama.
Gu Qingshi switched to the video page. The video was not played very often, only about 300,000 times, but the number of comments and likes was considerable, showing that the audience was indeed very interested in the video.
This is good news.
Gu Qingshi remembered that there was a press conference at the spherical exhibition hall. Since the press conference would preview many games anyway, it would also be a good opportunity to warm up for Mount & Blade.
She thought the idea was feasible, so she sent another message to An Yan, asking her to make a promotional video before October.
After the message was sent, Gu Qingshi also got up and went to the living room.
I saw Gu Qingci was still struggling with the game. This time he changed to a cyberpunk-themed game.
Compared to the last time when she was at a loss, Gu Qingci was much more familiar with the route this time. When she saw Gu Qingshi coming out, she whispered, "You need to wear clothes at home."
Gu Qingshi said without blushing or beating her heart, "It's hot."
In fact, she was wearing clothes, but it was just a thin silk pajamas, so transparent that it could be sold as sexy pajamas.
Gu Qingci sighed.
She would still try to persuade him some time ago, but now, he has become just like Xia Yin and has given up.
Gu Qingshi came over with a smile and leaned on her sister's shoulder. "How is the search for materials going?"
"I already have an idea."
Gu Qingshi nodded to show that she understood.
There are many similarities between animation production and game development. Both require planning in advance rather than just starting off on a whim.
During the planning stage, the theme and character design of the work should be determined, as well as the budget should be calculated.
For now, Baixiang Media should not have to worry about calculating the funds. Gu Qingci only needs to hold a few meetings to finalize the plan and then start the pre-production work.
The script, storyboard, supervision, and specific character images are all things that need to be considered in this pre-production process.
Shirobako is not very large, it is actually just an animation studio with about 50 to 60 people.
Seeing that her sister was staying on her shoulders and refused to move, Gu Qingci said helplessly, "Can you move aside? It's tiring to be pressed down on her."
"Give me a kiss and leave."
Gu Qingci had no choice but to nod coldly, "Kiss."
Gu Qingshi was immediately delighted. She put her arms on her sister's shoulders, leaned on Gu Qingci's back and kissed her several times, which made Gu Qingci impatient and she was ruthlessly thrown aside by Gu Qingci.

Chapter 292 [Can You Pass the Trial?]
Gu Qingshi made herself look awkward and annoyed Gu Qingci.
In order to avoid the tragedy of Xiangjian He Taiji, Gu Qingshi fled directly to Beihai Villa.
Outside the office, Xiao Tang knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
With a shout, Tang Manyan pushed the door open and saw Gu Qingshi wiping the sword. She felt a chill on her neck.
I was afraid that Gu Qingshi would say something like "I like to kill people in my dreams" later.
Seeing Xiao Tang stop in his tracks, Gu Qingshi smiled and put the sword back into the scabbard.
"Have you got this quarter's report?"
Xiao Tang nodded and put the paper document on the table.
In fact, the electronic file has already been sent to the mailbox, but the paper document has a greater sense of ceremony.
Gu Qingshi put the document aside without reading it.
