Chapter 15: Sorry Gaijn
"Oh? What's that about me being included?"
Jack appeared at the doorway, rubbing his eyes, still half-asleep. His messy hair and sluggish movements screamed "I just woke up."
"Speak of the devil," Estello said with a smirk. "We were just talking about you."
Jack yawned, stretching. "Bro, you woke up early. Way too early. Last time I checked, it was 2 AM, and you were still working."
Richard grinned. "I'm almost 10% done before I can fully test the whole thing."
Jack raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah, right. The game engine." He ran a hand through his hair. "Anyway, I'm gonna need your help shopping for our PC builds. And once our game reaches beta testing, we'll need even more resources."
He sighed. "Though I doubt we'll hit that phase anytime soon, since it's just the two of us for now."
Richard leaned back. "Why don't we start with terrain design first? We could use a hexagonal grid—maybe 5x5 km in size. And once I finish the Vector Core engine, we can automate the whole asset generation process."
Estello, who had been silently listening, massaged his temples.
"My head hurts just hearing you two talk," he muttered.
Jack and Richard chuckled.
