Chapter 156 Past Glory (4)
“Isn't that what it is? The range here is different from the one on the other side. It has to be exactly symmetrical.”
“Um... that’s right. Shall we reduce the range of the upper bushes a bit?”
“No, rather increase the range of the lower bushes. And in the case of the mid-lane, I think the width is too narrow. The top and bottom are relatively wide. I think we should shorten the sides a bit and widen the middle.”
“Wait... this much?”
“okay. It's much better.”
Jae-gyun opens his eyes clearly at Jae-young's instructions and focuses on something. And every time his characteristic behavior came out, the world where these two were in continued to change rapidly.
Kururureureung.
As the space is distorted, the lines increase and decrease in thickness and adjust the width. And looking at it carefully, Jaeyoung frantically wandered around to find another mistake.
Virtual reality integrated production device Lucid Dream.
Jae-kyun is realizing something by using his imagination to the fullest within it. And Jae-young, who keeps nagging him next to him and skillfully controls his imagination. In the fantastic harmony of the two, the colorless and empty space was filled with all sorts of things before I knew it, and it began to take shape perfectly with meticulous adjustments.
“Huh... Jaeyoung, I think I should rest for a bit.”
“why? it's hard?”
“Ugh... I’m a bit tired, but I think the topography of the canyon in the final battle that I remember is too rugged... I think I should go outside and take a look at the entire map carefully.”
The gorge of the decisive battle in virtual reality that is being implemented by relying on Jaekyun's imagination. Of course, compared to the crude graphics that existed in PC games, it was a realistic look that couldn't be better, but it was very disappointing when put together with the flawless Arcadia.
“But... Jaeyoung, thanks to you, I think the overall foundation has been laid.”
Jaekyun looked down at his work while floating in the air. He smiled contentedly and muttered with a proud face.
“What... All I did was tell you the lengths and arrangements, things that didn’t fit, and things that needed to be adjusted, but what. Did you imagine everything?”
“lol. That's it again.”
“Anyway... it seems like it's been quite some time outside, so shall we finish working first and go outside?”
“huh. At this point, it seems that the terrain has been roughly implemented, but let’s finish it!”
Jae-Kyun and Jae-Young closed the connection and went outside. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall while stroking his throbbing hair, Jaeyoung frowned and murmured.
“What, has it already been four hours?”
It's been a while longer than I thought. I was immersed in it without noticing the passage of time, probably because it was nothing else but the realization of the legendary league of games that I loved so much.
“...why is everyone looking at me like that?”
After the headache, the aftereffect of lucid dreaming, subsided to some extent, I began to see the surroundings. Just like four hours ago, all the design and development team members huddled together were looking at Jaeyoung. And that, as if they had made a promise, all of them with their mouths wide open with bewildered faces.
“Ughhh! it's hard!”
Just as Jae-young is about to say something to this astral and subtle atmosphere, Jae-gyun opens the capsule a little later than Jae-young and jumps out. He shouted with a face full of tiredness, probably because he had drawn out too much imagination.
“what! Has it been 4 hours? no wonder! It was so dizzy!”
“Are you okay other than being dizzy? Anything wrong?”
“huh....? Um... are you hungry?”
“...that there is nothing in particular.”
Jae-gyun, who has been using his lucid dream to the limit for a long time, but says he is hungry and looks for something to eat. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung nodded with a face that was also Jaekyun and murmured. And the design & development team employees who were watching the two of them silently muttered with absurd faces.
“After using lucid dream for 4 hours...is it all about being hungry?”
“Most of the features... implemented in only 4 hours...? And without any reference data?”
“More than that... what is the accuracy of adjusting features in centimeters? A human caliper?”
A design & development team made up of only the elite of elites who specialize in lucid dreaming. Everyone working in this department was recognized as possessing an above-average synchro rate and having a natural talent for art and creation, and they were creators who stood out in various fields. And that's why they knew better than anyone else how absurd and absurd things were happening right in front of their eyes.
“Hey...”
So they asked the two of them more seriously and sincerely than ever before.
“Are you guys... are you really human?”
* * *
After Jaeyoung and Jaekyun go home.
Even though it was already long after work hours, all employees of the design & development team were gathering together and talking with serious faces without thinking about going home.
“Chief... I think we underestimated that friend too much?”
“....yes?”
“yes. It's not monster level. It seems to be at the level of a super-ancient monster who came to take over this earth, right? No, what kind of human being implements a feature that is several kilometers in length and width at once? Because that is really out of the ordinary.”
Originally, the standard method is to divide it into hundreds and thousands of compartments, implement each part, and connect them like putting puzzle pieces together. That is why they were astonished to see Jae-Kyun, who realized the vast area at once.
“No, not even that friend named Jae-gyun... but what about that friend? No, I don't know how long I've been playing that game, but how can I direct at such a precise level? I took a quick look at it earlier, but it is so perfectly symmetrical that I can't find any flaws in the real data. It really doesn't make much sense to adjust it by eyeball.”
Directing is just as important as implementing data through imagination. The process of integrating the various products of imagination realized by dozens of hundreds of creators into one and harmonizing them to create a single work. Depending on how efficiently and effectively it was done, the time taken for production and the fatigue of creators could be greatly reduced, so the director's influence was enormous. And Jaeyoung's directing, which they witnessed a while ago, was far beyond Yang Minhyuk's ability.... It was a perfect level without any superfluities.
“...that sounds really great.”
Jang Yoon-jung, the chief designer of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who has been silent until now, and a former famous artist who has shown the highest implementation rate so far. She looked a little bit proud, but she opened her mouth in a tone that seemed to admit that she had to admit it.
“The amount of work that those two friends have implemented... It is safe to say that they have implemented all the basic map data that we do not need to touch. Of course, there are parts where the details are a little lacking in various details because I don't have enough time, but... it's unbelievably excellent for a work that was made in 4 hours.”
The ability to implement so much that even the chief designer himself could not dare to imitate it. It was so enormous that I wondered how I could imagine and draw all of this at once, what I think about on a daily basis, and whether it is possible to live a daily life. So, she was honest about it. Jaekyun's and Jaeyoung's ability is so great that even everyone in this room could not dare to reach it.
“Honestly, it seemed that I had been complacent about the fact that I had no competitors until now... but I have to reflect on this. That these young geniuses had gone so far that we couldn't keep up. If such friends continue to appear in the future, I might have to write a letter of resignation right away.”
“.....”
The atmosphere became a little solemn at those words. In reality, the two were just nonsensical ecosystem disruptors, but the fact that they were applied to young college students who hadn't even graduated from college yet so much that they didn't dare rub their feet together must have been quite a stimulus, so the faces of all the design & development team members were indescribable. There were countless subtle emotions.
“Boss, first of all... is it right for both of them to join this project?”
Yang Min-hyeok, the head designer, nodded in surprise at her question.
“For now, yes. Both of them are very interested in this game and seem to enjoy the process itself more than expected, so they decided to come every day to help. I noticed that I thought this was better than going to lecture.”
No matter what happens, Jaekyun and Jaeyoung catch the bait with the typical habits of college students who don't mind taking lectures by acknowledging attendance. Hearing that the two of them come every day, she nodded with a strange smile.
“If those two friends officially join the project... I don’t think there’s any need to worry about meeting the schedule in the future.”
Originally, all the staff would stick together to implement the basic terrain features, and even if they stayed up all night, it would have been enough for at least a week. However, only two people managed to get it all done. In less than half a day of 4 hours. That's why the news made everyone's faces glow.
“uh? Iknow, right?”
“Wow... Awesome! Come to think of it, is it really like that? After improving these features a little more and using them as they are, what's left to do is... Implementation of characters to be used in battle, implementation of each skill system, implementation of basic neutral zone objects, implementation of each purchasable item and its characteristics.. .. uh... still a lot to do.....”
The first attempt at porting a PC game entirely to a virtual reality system. That's why they were full of trials and errors that had to be implemented and had to go through, but even so, their expressions were not so dark. Compared to the state where there was nothing just four hours ago, at least now, the drawing paper on which to draw is perfectly completed. The drawing paper called the gorge of the decisive battle that Jaeyoung and Jaekyun embodied.
* * *
As soon as he left the company, Jae-kyun ran to a nearby restaurant. To fill his hungry stomach, he hurriedly stuffed rice into his mouth and ate for a while.
“Haa... I'm going to live now.”
Jae-gyun ate 3 servings of food by himself. Then Jaeyoung asked him with a pitiful look on his face as he rubbed his swollen stomach and gave him a satisfied look.
“You said you were losing weight. Didn't you say you made a promise with Chaeyeon?”
He makes all kinds of fuss about losing weight, but his fat doesn't go down. In addition, his eating habits, which I accidentally discovered, were so bad that I nodded my head as to why he didn't fall out.
“No, but I can’t help it on a day like today. I mean, it took a lot of mental energy.”
“Anyway, excuses are good.”
“Oh right. Jaeyoung, can I ask you one question?” “What else?”
Jae-gyun asks cautiously, looking at Jae-young's eyes. He hesitated for a moment at Jaeyoung's favorable attitude, then asked.
“That... you went over to the Japanese continent, didn’t you?”
“Uh why?”
“Why the hell did you leave? Are you breaking any quests?”
The Korean continent is still full of undiscovered areas. Jae-gyun seems to be very curious about Jae-young's move to the Japanese continent, since it is enough to go around there. Looking at his bright eyes full of curiosity, Jaeyoung sighed and said.
“It's a quest... that's not wrong.”
“Is this a real quest? what quest is it? huh? can't you tell me I won't tell anyone!”
Jae-Kyun rushes in with great interest when he hears that he is breaking the quest. To him, who asked him almost begging, Jaeyoung said casually, as if it was nothing special.
“It's nothing special... It's just a quest to pick a dragon's head.”
“what....? Picking someone's head...?”
Jae-gyun looks confused as if he didn't hear it wrong. Jaeyoung spoke kindly to him once again, as if he had heard him well.
“Dragon head.”
