The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The addition of Xishanju can be said to be a great complement to Rising Sun Game Company. The Legendary Development Department is no longer stretched, and everyone is almost working in two shifts.

In addition to strictly guarding against various cheats, the staff finally has more time to develop more content of the game. And the development of the game "Swordsman Love" is also on the agenda.

As the most self-developed masterpiece of martial arts games with Chinese characteristics, Yang Dongxu can be said to have given the greatest enthusiasm and support to the development of swordsman.

It can be said that you want people to give people, no one will dig people for you, you want money for money, and you want equipment for equipment. Moreover, it was set very high, which made the staff on Legend's side a little jealous.

The person in charge of the development team of Swordsman Love is Chang Hao, a man with square-framed eyes and a gentle and somewhat thin body. He just turned 31 this year and is Qiu Bosong's favorite student.

Now Qiu Bosong is in charge of developing the instant chat software. Yang Dongxu from Xishanju has no plans to move, so after talking with Qiu Bosong, he promotes Changhao to be responsible for the development of swordsman after the reorganization of Xishanju.

Zhong Changhao sat opposite Yang Dongxu in Rising Sun Technology's office. At first, when Yang Dongxu looked at him, Changhao also looked at the new boss in front of him. The first feeling is young, and it is very young. This made him a little pessimistic about his future work.

To be honest, at the beginning, he still had some grudges about Xishanju being packaged and sold by the company, even if his master Qiu Bosong jumped ship with him.

Although Xishanju has achieved fruitful results since its establishment, it is definitely among the best in the domestic stand-alone game industry, and the studio's profits are also increasing year by year.

Just when he was ambitious and ready to lead his group of brothers to make a big splash in the Chinese game industry, the studio was directly packaged and sold.

As soon as the new boss came up, he cut off all the previous stand-alone game development of the studio, and directly took out the swordsman love, which was only a concept, and asked the development of online games to no longer be stand-alone.

This sudden change of family has already made him feel a little dependent on others. As a result, his son can't take his surname, and he can't even admit that he is his son in the future. He has to follow the boss's request to raise another son who doesn't want to have a son. How do you let Chang Hao calm down?

But Qiu Bosong was kind to him, and apart from game development, which made him, a programmer, feel that he was being guided by an outsider, the new boss did not treat them badly in other matters.

The new company provided them with single-room dormitories with air-conditioning and washing machines, which were many times more comfortable than the previous collective dormitories.

Not to mention the salary, not to mention the 50% collective salary increase for everyone. All of them signed a formal contract with five insurances and one housing fund. This is simply the treatment of a state-owned enterprise.

So Changhao is a little confused now, or he was a little bit aggrieved at first, and all the programmers in Xishanju are a little bit confused. They don't even have the intention of discussing with them about the new boss's finger pointing. They must be dissatisfied with such a domineering approach.

But such sweet sugar-coated shells came one after another, almost covering them with sugar, and many people couldn't muster up the courage to refuse. After all, after enjoying the employee benefits of Rising Sun Technology, no one wants to return to the previous working environment full of salty fish.

Everyone has a dream, but not everyone will be desperate for it, especially when the current living environment makes them extremely satisfied.

And this kind of person with no ambition is what Yang Dongxu needs now, now, or in the next ten years. Although he needs independent helpers, he does not need ambitious, dreamy and hard-working employees.

What he needs is a large number of puppet employees who follow the instructions step by step honestly and earnestly obey his command to complete the task. Because there are many classic games in his mind that do not require clever game planning, let alone worry about unacceptable problems in the market.

So he only needs these employees to make what he wants according to his orders. These people don't need to have their own ideas, and they don't need to be too talented. The more honest the better.

"Are you still used to the working environment?" Yang Dongxu broke the calm by speaking first.

"Okay." Chang Hao nodded.

"How is the swordsman going?"

"The game planning has basically been completed, and the game background development skeleton has also been set up. Now it is mainly about filling in the details." Chang Hao said in a straightforward manner.

He belongs to the kind of person who, even if he has grievances, as long as the work is done, he will do it well and will never steal or play tricks. Such a person may be a bit unflattering in terms of worldly relationships, but there is absolutely no problem with his work ability, which is undoubtedly what Yang Dongxu needs.

"We want to make paid online games, that is, collect points cards and not sell equipment like Legendary. So the balance of the game must be done well, especially the economic balance in it." Yang Dongxu said some of his own requirements for the game.

Chang Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard this. After all, every programmer doesn't like when he has finished planning or even started to make content, suddenly a person pops up and asks for this or that.

"Is there a problem?" Yang Dongxu asked, looking at the frowning Changhao.

"Yes." Changhao nodded: "The studio used to make stand-alone games before. There is no economic balance problem in stand-alone games. After all, there is only one person or a few people in the game. No matter how much money you spend killing monsters and how good equipment you get Neither will affect the game balance, so we have no experience in this area.

There is also the problem of the game content you require. In the same situation, stand-alone games do not have such strict requirements for image quality, and they do not connect to the server after downloading. So there is no network connection problem and the picture is smooth, and the stand-alone game is not too big and simple installation is enough. If the swordsman you mentioned is made into an online game, it needs a preparation that is not comparable to a stand-alone game.”

Changhao didn't hide anything and told all the problems he could think of so far. Although they all make games, there is really a difference between developing stand-alone games and online games, and it's not small.

This is not simply a matter of connecting a stand-alone game to the Internet and turning it into an online game, which can be directly operated. The amount of work required here is no less than if you use a stand-alone game as a template to redevelop a game.

"You can ask the legendary game team about the settings of online games. They have experience in this area. Although sometimes the picture quality of the legendary is just like that, after all, they have to deal with things like the picture is not smooth, and even the character is stuck in the map. An experience that can't come out of it.

Your main task now is to make the game template, and we can improve it on the inside. For the equipment setting and economic balance I mentioned, you can make a framework first and let's try it slowly.

But this excuse and content must be made. After all, we can debug slowly if we have this thing. If there is no such thing, we need to make another inlay in it, which will easily cause new incompatibility problems. At that time, we can’t push everything to the reload. bring it on?

As for the problem of server and network connection, it is better to ask Legendary for advice, or just throw it to Dongxu Technology. Now they are the contractors of our game company. If there is anything they don’t understand, or need, and various requirements, they will be directly listed for them to do. If they can’t do it, we will discuss the problem that we can’t do. "

Yang Dongxu's solution to Changhao's problem can be said to be simple and rude. In a word, you make what I want. Even if the content cannot be enriched temporarily, this foundation must be done well. After making it, we are slowly debugging, if there is a problem, solve the problem, if there is no problem, this one will solve the next problem.

"I need to go back and think about it carefully, and I need to hold a meeting with my subordinates before I can give you an accurate answer." Chang Hao thought for a while and felt that the things his new boss asked were complicated, and even a little difficult, but it seemed that he could not do it. It's just that the workload has doubled compared to before.

"Okay, don't worry about this for the time being, we can also ask the Legendary Department for more advice, and we can file a case this year and develop it next year."

"I will try my best." Changhao nodded. Although it is a kind of pressure to have time, it is still enough time. After all, it is only July now. If the answer sheet is delivered by the end of next year, there will be a year and a half. do the job.

"Then you go to work, first make a rough plank, and I will fill you with the manpower you lack as soon as possible."

Although Yang Dongxu is a layman who doesn't know much about game development, he has studied the general framework of game development. I understand that even if Xishanju is short of the manpower of the game company, it is still far from enough. Especially when running two or more large online games.

This is not something that can be solved simply by renting more servers and finding more programmers. Programmers are the main force in game development, but they are not the only ones.

A game planning department includes main planning, value, plot, copywriting, system, version, script, operation and other subdivision work.

And there is also an art department, such as art director, scene, do you want 2D or 3D, characters, original painting, flat painting, video, etc.

Every position needs people, and each position cannot be handled by one person. Now Rising Sun Technology's two game departments combined are said to only have 42 people, including him as the boss. This manpower is not enough to dominate the domestic game market.

Therefore, the arrival of Xishanju solved the urgent need of Rising Sun Technology, allowing Legendary to stabilize and have some energy to develop other games. But if he wants to make it and do it well, he still has to wave the money in his hand to recruit more talents. OK.
