Big Manga

(1);

At noon the next day, after finishing work with his assistants, Meng Huo met Qin Ya and the others at Ninghai Railway Station. network

"Teacher, who are these people?"

Qin Ya looked curiously at the people around Meng Huo.

"They're my assistants now."

Meng Huo introduced five assistants to them, that is, Alice's assistants. For a period of time in the future, at least before Alice returned, they would share various tasks with Meng Huo and his secretary. They were by their side. Help, Meng Huo can also reduce a lot of walking.

In the afternoon, the group returned to Manga Island. Several of Alice's assistants also had their own dormitories in Manga Island, so there was no need for Meng Huo to arrange it himself.

"I'll go to the Personnel Department first. You go to settle down first, and then come to my office in the afternoon." Meng Huo told the assistants, then turned to Qin Ya and the others and said, "You guys should go back first, and tidy up the studio by the way. Let's start working tonight!"

The assistant and Qin Ya's group left immediately. After they left, Meng Huo came to the personnel department and found the head of the personnel department.

"During the time I've been away, how's the situation of the painters at the Island Studio?" After exchanging pleasantries, Meng Huo got down to business.

The head of the Personnel Department asked someone to bring the information, which contained the situation of each artist, those who went out and chose to take a vacation, and the rest of the artists were helping in several animation departments in Tokyo, but three of them chose to leave.

"Are there only three people?" Meng Huo heaved a sigh of relief, the number was not too many. He has long guessed that since he has been away for so long, it is impossible for an outside animation studio or game company to give up the opportunity to win over the artists of the Island Studio—no matter how loyal the artists of the Island Studio are, under the temptation of the outside world, It is not surprising that some job-hopping.

However, in fact, there are very few three people, less than one-twentieth of the entire department, and excellent painters can be found from other studios to fill them up at any time, which has no impact on the island studio.

"Then call them back, how long will it take?"

The first thing Meng Huo did when he came back was to restart the island studio.

"I have notified them." The head of the personnel department said, in fact, when he heard that Meng Huo had appeared in Yanjing, he immediately ordered his subordinates to notify the painters to end their vacation and change jobs. Now the basic notification is in place, and feedback has been received.

"Most of the painters will report back within the next three days,

However, there are still some painters who may take two more days. "The head of the personnel department said, the artists of the island studio heard that they would return to the manga island. They were very active, and they seemed to be tired of staying outside.

The efficiency of the HR department surprised Meng Huo, and after talking about the HR arrangements of other departments, Meng Huo left the HR department.

He thought about whether the next destination would be the editorial department or the voice actor's office, but he didn't expect that when he just walked out of the personnel department and was about to take the elevator to leave. As soon as the elevator door opened, an unexpected figure popped out of it.

"Teacher He Xi!" He Qian almost bumped into Meng Huo, and when she saw his figure, her face was full of joy: "Fortunately, I caught up, teacher, come to our game department to have a look, I have a surprise For you!"

"Games? But I have to..."

Meng Huo wanted to refuse, but He Qian excitedly pulled him onto the elevator, and then pressed the button to go to the floor of the game department—she had never been so excited before, and Meng Huo began to wonder what the surprise was. So I followed her.

As soon as he entered the game department, Meng Huo saw members standing in rows on both sides, looking at him excitedly.

"Why are they all so happy?" Meng Huo became more and more curious. He also saw Liu Yi behind the crowd, because Liu Yun had already told him about Liu Yi's work in the game department in advance, so he was not surprised.

"Teacher, hurry up and come to my office!" He Qian urged Meng Huo to go to her office. Meng Huo had no time to talk to Liu Yi. He could only smile at him, and then was dragged into her office by He Qian.

After half a year, He Qian's office has a different feeling, with two computers. One is used for office work, and the other is relatively large. Judging from the details of the mouse and the case, Meng Huo guessed that this should be used for testing games.

He had a clue.

"Is "World of Warcraft" making progress?" The thing that can make He Qian and the game department so excited may be "World of Warcraft" after all, other than that. Meng Huo didn't assign them work content for the second half of the year.

"Yes, we have completed many maps, teacher, come and play!" He Qian asked Meng Huo to sit in front of the computer, and then turned on the computer. After turning it on, Meng Huo saw a simple game icon on it—" World of Warcraft".

This icon is different from the one he was familiar with in his previous life. The design is more modern and beautiful. Of course, this is not important. The current icon is definitely not a finished product, and it is not clear what it will be changed to in the future.

Under the guidance of He Qian, Meng Huo entered the game. The first thing he entered was the character creation interface. The models of all major races were established, and he could change hairstyles, face shapes, earrings and other details—these details were better than those made in World of Warcraft in his previous life. Good, but it didn't surprise Meng Huo.

Because these exquisite character settings were actually done a year ago. At that time, Meng Huo even tried the movements of the model. He was surprised enough, and naturally he doesn't feel much now.

Meng Huo chose a tauren race, a shaman profession, then gave him a random name, and clicked to enter the game. As soon as he entered the game, he froze: "This... Is this Xinshou Village ready?"

In the game, the tauren who just debuted stands on a vast grassland. The grassland looks lifelike, and animals can be seen walking around. In the small tauren village next to it, the tauren can also be seen walking with each other.

"Wow..." Meng Huo cried out in his heart at that time: "They actually made the Mogaolei Grassland?"

"Teacher, you are walking around." He Qian smiled proudly.

Meng Huo manipulated the tauren character to look around, Bloodhoof Village, Stone Niu Lake, and various other places. Although there are some differences from the original game, the completion of the map is almost perfect—but just when Meng Huo watched the scenery of the game At that time, he was stabbed to death by an arrow from a wild boar.

"..." He Qian was a little embarrassed: "Teacher, you should do some tasks and learn some skills first!"

Meng Huo didn't care. He looked at the angel sister in the tauren soul state in astonishment. Even the death state and the angel sister were finished. How far has the game been completed now?

He was revived again, and then he opened the map to look at it, and he was even more surprised. The map shapes of the two continents of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdom have come out, and most of the areas are still blank. It is obviously not finished yet, but there are quite a few completed areas.

Humans, undead, dwarves... At a glance, the maps of Novice Villages of all races seemed to have appeared.

"Have you made all the maps of Xinshou Village?" Meng Huo asked incredulously, it was too fast!

"It's not just the map. The missions are all done too..." He Qian said proudly, "It's a pity that you didn't give us enough missions, teacher. Some of the missions couldn't be connected, otherwise all the novice maps can be said to be completed. "

Meng Huo did not give them a complete task arrangement. Even in Xinshou Village, the number of tasks in "World of Warcraft" is more than a thousand. How could he have time to write down all of them and give them to them.

"Let me look at the upgrade experience first." Meng Huo enthusiastically started the existing tasks, from accepting tasks, doing tasks, to completing tasks, seeing rewards and experience points, leveling up and learning skills - he observed everything very well. carefulness.

Facts have proved that the game department’s preparations in the first two years were not soy sauce. The whole game experience gave Meng Huo a very good feeling. It was already close to the previous World of Warcraft, especially the special effects of skills and the actions of characters were performed on the new generation engine. is even better.

Meng Huo had a good time playing the game. After he played the tauren shaman to level ten, the quest line was broken, so he replaced it with a necromancer, and the map of the undead was just as good. That's right.

Because of time. Meng Huo stopped after playing four races. It was already five o'clock in the evening, and he had a preliminary grasp of the game.

The basic structure of "World of Warcraft" has been completed, and a small part of the map has been completed, but the experience in Xinshou Village means that this game can enter the rapid development stage. Moreover, all the content of the game has exceeded his expectations, the career setting is good, and the life skills have not been added yet, but according to He Qian, a part of it has been developed, but it has not been included.

Meng Huo also knew He Qian's thoughts - she and the staff of the game department hoped to officially approve the "World of Warcraft" project.

"No problem, I agree." Meng Huo agreed without hesitation after the trial game was over. He didn't expect that the game department could develop the game to this stage so quickly, but now that it was here, he decided to go ahead with all his might.

The employees of the game department were overjoyed, and Meng Huo called He Qian. let's go and eat.

"When will the teacher give me the rest of the materials?" He Qian asked excitedly. The "World of Warcraft" project is about to be launched, and the most important question now is whether Meng Huo will hand over the rest of the game materials to them. They, they can't develop further at all.

"It's not urgent. There are too many game materials in "World of Warcraft". I can't give it to you at once." Meng Huo shook his head and said, the huge data of this game cannot be written overnight, although two He has written some intermittently over the years, and there are still some stocks that have not been brought out, but the remaining materials cannot be produced by himself.

Meng Huo decided to call several writers who were in charge of adapting his novels and ask them to help sort out the information. It was impossible for him to copy every detail of the game, but various key events, key points, and the main tasks of each map, the entire game The framework of the plot and so on, he can guarantee that it is consistent with the original.

"I will give them the game box and let them sort it out." Meng Huo said to He Qian: "You have to form a special team to plan and enrich the side missions other than the main mission. The team must cooperate with my writers, and they must understand the game very well and know what kind of tasks are most attractive to players."

He paused, then added: "The team must be composed of senior game experts."

He Qian was stunned, she didn't expect that there would be such a complicated thing to do after the game project was established, but thinking about it, how could He Xi provide them with every detail of the game like a nanny - even if he had the ability , and his time would not allow it.

"But Teacher He Xi... our department doesn't have so many people anymore." He Qian frowned and said, "And the team you mentioned, there are actually not many people in our department who can set game tasks and plots."

There are painters and programmers in the game department, but there are not many game talents who can set up side plots and tasks for online games. He Qian's men are not many, and they have long been used to getting information from Meng Huo.

"If you don't have one, go buy it." Meng Huo was not worried at all, and said, "When I approved the "World of Warcraft" project, I will give you 100 million in the early stage funds of this game. come over."

He Qian was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up: "One hundred million!!"

"Old, teacher... you are not kidding me!"

She just felt dry mouthed, the game department had never had such a large number of development funds, the past text adventure games were not big-cost games, 100 million sounds like a fantasy to He Qian.

"I'm not kidding you." But Meng Huo was not kidding. Of course, "World of Warcraft" is worth 100 million, let alone 100 million. If necessary, he would dare to vote for 1 billion-but it certainly won't take so much: "This one In addition to the development funds of the game, the 100 million is also the cost of moving for you."

He added lightly: "You can choose a suitable building from Manga Island as the new office building for the game department."

He Qian was stunned again, she was almost dumbfounded - what do you mean, Teacher He Xi, what does this mean? Is it possible that the game department can also be independent from the head office? Just like the seiyuu firm and DreamWorks, are they independent subsidiaries?

She swallowed, and nervously asked Meng Huo if she hadn't misunderstood.

"No, you're right." Meng Huo nodded: "In a few days, I will announce this matter—from the establishment of the "World of Warcraft" project, your game department will be independent and set up a separate subsidiary. You are now You can expand your enrollment!"

"World of Warcraft", this game needs an independent subsidiary to operate, it has this ability, Meng Huo thought that sooner or later, the game department must be independent anyway, why not just do it now.

Meng Huo had to hand over a large amount of game materials to several writer assistants to describe the main storyline and world of the game. It would be impossible to do it in a few months, and this time was just right for the game department to relocate and expand its enrollment. (To be continued.)
