Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 150

Liang Ranran and the others were a little at a loss when they received Lin Shuying's task, but they were very excited.

If you have a dream, who wouldn't want to go on stage and perform?

I dug out some previously saved drafts and inspirations, picked out a few, revised them again, and showed them to Lin Shuying.

Lin Shuying looked through each one and pointed out what she thought were the shortcomings.

Liang Ranran is preparing to make a high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), pale yellow in color, with blue silk ribbons, to be paired with a white gauze coat.

The hairstyle used is a peony head.

Lin Shuying said, "This set is too similar to the previous koi design. It's the same in terms of color scheme, design, style and pattern."

Liang Ranran: "But this is how clothes are supposed to be. I really like that koi fish outfit, so I designed this one."

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "Look at the ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) I designed. They are all unique. The basic patterns are different, right? The color schemes are obviously different, right? All the details are completely different."

Liang Ranran took her manuscript and said apologetically, "I'll go and revise it again."

Lin Shu-ying: "Don't let appearances limit you, and don't let your preferences limit you. Think about it, who would like to buy several pieces of the same style and design? What if you don't want to buy the same thing, but really like that type?"

After speaking, he looked at Liang Ranran and waited for her reply.

Liang Ranran considered for a moment and said, "How about changing our aesthetic sense?"

Lin Shuying tapped her head and laughed, "Of course not, it's about finding out why you like something, what you like about it. Can those points be applied to other designs, and if so, does it change the feel of the design, and is it suitable?"

"But I just love the color scheme and feel of the Linglong Yellow Carp. It's ethereal, lively, and cute."

Lin Shuying took her manuscript and said, "Can I annotate and revise it?"

"can."

Lin Shuying dragged over some colored pencils and began to modify the drawing. "Look, you like ethereal colors, right? Pink, white, off-white, and sky blue are all very ethereal. Does it feel different after the changes?"

"It's changed; it's no longer warm, and it's not sunny enough."

"Since you like the pale yellow color scheme, we'll keep the color design. We can adjust the leaning towards red or green during production; it will give a different feel. As for the style? Would you be okay with a different style... a traditional Chinese jacket and skirt?"

Liang Ranran thought the modified version, a plain jacket and skirt, was also quite nice!

“It’s very nice, but I want to make a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).”

Lin Shu-ying: "I'll keep the pattern, but what about the design? It can be plain, with a koi fish pattern, or a pattern on the bottom, but try not to make it exactly the same as mine. It won't do if it's exactly the same."

After making the revisions, Liang Ranran had a sudden realization and said, "I'll continue revising."

Other employees designed hairpins, velvet flowers, beaded ornaments, braided ropes, and many other items.

Lin Shuying was very happy. Although the product designs were almost plagiarized, the variety was quite good.

There won't be a situation where Liang Ranran, as the leader, designs the clothes, and everyone else designs the clothes.

The final draft was completed, with two works from each person.

Liang Ranran also made the jacket and skirt set that Lin Shuying had suggested.

During this period, Lin Qiaoqiao tried her best not to take orders from others and focused on completing her own works.

Of course, not taking orders means a sharp drop in wages.

Qingfengyi's commission is very high.

But the success lies in the reputation. This time, the work was able to be featured on the runway, and with the increased fame, the quality of orders will be even higher.

With a large number of designers and garment makers now graduated, Qingfengyi no longer competes with them for low-end orders; the minimum order is now 500,000 yuan.

Later it will reach one million, or even two million.

Once the foundation of fashion and luxury goods is established, the issue is no longer about orders, but about having the home ground.

This represents the transformation from a wealthy person in a low position to a wealthy person in a high position, signifying the acquisition of power.

Previously, it was Qingfengyi's works that gave them value; from now on, it will be them giving away works that give them value. This distinction must be made clear.

The latter is the goal we should strive for.

Lin Shuying assigned tasks and began making the game.

This task is very simple; it involves various osmanthus-related items, some of which were also covered in previous activities.

Because of the latest technological advancements in the gaming platform, she plans to add a guest to the players' roster: the Four Great Immortals.

The Four Guardian Spirits: Fox, Weasel, White Willow, and Mandarin Duck.

In many parts of China, there is a belief in guardian spirits, mostly the Five Great Immortals.

However, there are many different interpretations of the last one. Some believe in the black fairy crow, some believe in the gray fairy rat, and others believe in other animals.

The first four are generally the same, but the one that is controversial is Liu Xian, with some saying it is a python and others saying it is a snake, but they are generally similar.

One can only have one guardian spirit or top spirit; otherwise, it is considered an offense.

Therefore, each player can only recruit one retainer in this event, so it's up to you to decide.

Of course, in order to enrich the game content, there is a 99% chance that the immortals will not approve of the player and will not be willing to go back to become the guardian spirits.

If a player really likes that immortal, they should work hard to grind resources to offer to them. Once their favorability rating increases, the immortal will be willing to come home with them.

There's a one in ten thousand chance that the immortals will see a connection at first glance and be willing to go back with you.

If the player is unwilling at this point, they should respectfully send the item away.

You will also encounter various adventures. After the storyline, you may encounter evil immortals or good immortals.

It depends on luck.

Yes, the lucky draw event is back!

The main character of this event is Osmanthus, and she has specially designed a brand new map: Qingyun Zhegui Mountain.

Mountains are more suitable, for a very large map.

It features towering waterfalls, dense forests, clear rivers and streams, as well as steep cliffs and more.

One instance is enough for a player to explore for a whole day.

Designing mountains requires abundant forest resources to be meaningful. Lin Shuying recalled the mountains she visited when she went back to her hometown with her parents in her previous life.

When I was a child, that mountain was really lush with trees, rich in tree species, and full of wild fruits and orchids.

Later, things changed. The forests on the mountain were cut down and replaced with economic tree species.

It matures every three to five years, and the price increases very quickly.

These numbers will suppress the growth of other plants, and there will be nothing on the ground except the dead leaves of these tree species.

Wild fruits can no longer be found, orchids can no longer be seen, let alone the occasional pheasant call or the visible wildcat tracks.

The changes are tremendous!

With this in mind, Lin Shuying set up two types of dungeons: one where trees could be cut down at will, and the other where only living plants could be cut down.

Soon, the event was updated.

The player just finished.

The lacquerware event has truly enriched players' homes; decorative items are everywhere, and everyone has bought everything they could.

If you can't buy it, you'll have to make it yourself.

If you don't know how to do it, find a skilled player to do it for you.

Qingfengyi has truly cultivated a large number of craftsmen, but unfortunately, very few are willing to work at Qingfengyi; they all prefer to stay in the game.

It is said that the clothes that the studio employees can wear are made by Qingfengyi, but the clothes that the employees in Qingfengyi may not have.

They're free to do whatever they want.

If I go to work at Qingfengyi, I won't be able to play games.

As a gaming addict, it's impossible not to play games. Just look at Qing Fengyi's workload; she simply doesn't have time to play games until she gets off work.

Some people went for interviews and were asked about the job responsibilities, and Lin Qiaoqiao told them honestly.

During working hours, you need to take orders and complete tasks assigned by the boss. When there are fashion shows or sales events, you need to do logistics and be responsible for makeup, etc.

Then comes learning clothing, hairpin, beadwork, and velvet flower making techniques. These crafts require a lot of practice and learning; otherwise, it's difficult to improve.

Doing things in a game is completely different from doing things in real life. Games use holographic technology, where the brain directly controls the game, without the signal transmission from muscles and limbs. Everyone has the potential to become a tech master.

In reality, it's different; it requires the use of hands, muscles, strength, and so on, increasing the difficulty several times over.

The brain can think very quickly and flexibly.

It's just a bit mentally taxing.

However, the drawbacks of holographic worlds and games being mentally taxing have been overcome through special biotechnology processing.

Currently, the challenge in the design field remains unresolved: to present something, you have to exchange an equal amount of energy, and there's no way around it.

The previous batch of students recruited by Qingfengyi were exceptionally skilled at crafting items in the game, but they still struggled to learn for a long time after coming to the studio.

I am not yet able to independently handle complex orders.

Therefore, you need to spend extra time learning the skills here; learning during work hours alone is not enough.

Those people gave up immediately when they heard that they had to work overtime to study.

Lin Qiaoqiao was also helpless, as Liang Ranran and the others still had to spend two or three hours studying after get off work.

Lin Shuying is such a great boss for being willing to provide them with materials to practice on. In her previous life, the basic requirement for hiring someone was at least two years of work experience.

Fresh graduates can get in with a guaranteed minimum of one or two thousand yuan. The quick-witted ones can get up to speed quickly and learn a lot.

Those who are a bit dull might be disliked.

Back to the point:

The recent events have been relentlessly pushing players to spend gold ingots, leaving players' wallets completely empty.

There were many lacquerware items in the last event, and some players liked to buy several sets, spending all their saved gold ingots.

Start topping up.

Therefore, the benefits of the Qingfengyi event in the last period increased rapidly, reaching a new high.

Lin Shuying is very wealthy, which is why she was willing to use the shrinking and enlarging technology in this instance, giving players enough fun.

The messengers for the event update are the Four Immortals, and their way of arriving is quite interesting, depending on who comes to your house.

Players time their wait perfectly at Xiaoyi Residence. Everyone now prefers to receive letters at Xiaoyi Residence; other locations aren't suitable for capturing beautiful special effects.

Find a good spot 20 minutes in advance and keep adjusting the camera to make yourself look your best.

If you want a specific shot that's difficult to adjust yourself, ask a friend for help. Even if you're a solo player without friends, don't worry. There are players in the open world who specialize in taking photos for just 200 silver taels.

Most players love being on the rooftop when it's breezy and not raining; it's absolutely amazing!

The crescent moon hung directly overhead, but it wasn't a full moon, so it was quite bright, though hazy.

You can see all the stars around you.

The person is sitting high on the rooftop, and the camera is slightly lower, creating a silhouette that is absolutely stunning.

Secondly, it's by the window.

Xiaoyiju has many different styles of windows, including round moon windows, square windows, double-hinged windows, and sliding windows.
