Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

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

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

As the most self-developed martial arts game masterpiece 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 need people to give people, no one will poach people for you, you need money to give money, and you need equipment to give equipment. And the setting is very high, which makes the staff at Legend look a little jealous.

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

Now Qiu Bosong is in charge of developing instant messaging software. Yang Dongxu, the person from Xishanju, has no plans to move, so after talking with Qiu Bosong, he promoted Chang Hao to be responsible for the development of Jianxia after Xishanju's reorganization.

Changhao sat opposite Yang Dongxu in the office of Xuri Technology. When Yang Dongxu looked at him at first, Changhao also looked at the new boss in front of him. The first impression he felt was that he was young, and very young. This made him optimistic about the future.

Work can't help but be a little pessimistic.

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 changed jobs with him.

Although Xishanju has not 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 ambitiously preparing to lead a group of his brothers to stir up troubles in the Chinese gaming industry, the studio was directly packaged and sold.

As soon as the new boss came on board, he cut off the development of all previous stand-alone games in the studio, directly took out Swordsman Love, which was just a concept, and demanded that the development of online games no longer be a stand-alone game.

This sudden change of family has already made him feel like he is dependent on someone else. As a result, his son can't bear his own surname, and he can't even admit that he is his son in the future. He has to follow the boss's requirements to raise another son he doesn't want to have. How can you make Changhao calm down?

But Qiu Bosong was kind to him, and apart from making him, a programmer, feel like he was being guided by an amateur while being an expert in game development, the new boss did not treat them badly in other matters.

The new company has provided them with single-room dormitories with air conditioning and washing machines, which are countless times more upscale and comfortable than the previous dormitories.

Needless to say, in terms of salary, everyone’s salary has been increased by 50% collectively, and all of them have signed formal contracts with five insurances and one housing fund. This is simply the treatment of a state-owned enterprise. If you can work until retirement, you will have food and clothing for the rest of your life.

So Changhao is a little confused now, or in other words, he was a little aggrieved. All the programmers in Xishanju are a little confused. He doesn't even have the intention to discuss with them about the new boss's dictation. They must be dissatisfied with such a domineering approach.

But such sweet sugar-coated bullets came one after another, almost wrapping them in sugar-coating. Many people couldn't muster the courage to refuse. After all, after enjoying the employee benefits of Xuri Technology, no one wanted to do it again.

Return to the salty-smelling working environment of the past.

Everyone has dreams, but not everyone will risk everything for their dreams, especially when their current living environment makes them extremely satisfied.

And this kind of unambitious person is what Yang Dongxu needs now, or in the next ten years or so. Although he needs helpers who can stand alone, he does not need ambitious employees with dreams and hard work.

What he needs is a large number of puppet employees who work step by step and follow his instructions seriously to complete tasks. Because he has many classic games in his mind that do not require clever game planning, let alone worry about the market not accepting them.

So he only needs these employees to make what he wants according to his orders. These people do not need to have their own ideas, nor do they need to be too talented. The more honest the better.

"Are you still adaptable to the working environment?" Yang Dongxu spoke first to break the calm.

"Okay." Chang Hao nodded.

"How is the progress of Swordsman?"

"The game planning has basically been completed, and the game background development skeleton has been set up. Now it's mainly about filling in the details." Chang Hao said calmly.

He belongs to the kind of person who, even if he has resentment, will do his job conscientiously as long as he gets the job done and will never cheat. Such a person may be a little unflattering in terms of worldliness, but there is absolutely no problem with his work ability. This is undoubtedly what he is doing.

Yang Dongxu needs it.

"We are going to make a paid online game, which means charging points like Legend and not selling equipment. Therefore, the balance of the game must be done well, especially the economic balance..." Yang Dongxu said some of his requirements for the game.

.

Chang Hao couldn't help but frown when he heard this. After all, every programmer doesn't like that when he has finished planning or even started to create content, someone suddenly pops up and wants this or that.

"Is there a problem?" Yang Dongxu looked at the frowning Changhao and asked.

"Yes." Chang Hao nodded: "The studio used to make stand-alone games. There is no economic balance problem in stand-alone games. After all, there is only one or a few people in the game. No matter how much money is spent killing monsters or how good the equipment is.

It will not affect the game balance, so we have no experience in this aspect.

There is also the issue of the game content you requested. In the same situation, stand-alone games do not have so stringent requirements for picture quality, and they are not connected to the server after downloading. So there are no network connection problems and smoothness of the screen. At the same time, stand-alone games are not too big and simple.

Just install it. If the Swordsman you mentioned is made into an online game, the configuration it requires is not comparable to that of a stand-alone game..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Changhao did not hold back and spoke out all the questions he could think of at the moment. Although they are all gamers, there is a real difference between developing stand-alone games and online games.

There is a difference and it's not small.

This is not just about connecting a stand-alone game to the Internet and turning it into an online game that can be operated directly. The workload required is no less than using a stand-alone game as a template to re-develop a game.

"For online game settings, you can ask the Legend Game Group for advice. They have experience in this area. Although sometimes the picture quality of Legend is just like that, after all, they have dealt with problems such as the screen being unsmooth and even the character getting stuck in the map.

An experience that cannot come out.

Your main task now is to make the game template, and we can improve it as we go along. As for the equipment settings and economic balance I mentioned, you can first make a framework and we can try it slowly.

But this excuse and content must be made. After all, with this thing we can slowly debug it. Without this thing, we will need to make another one and embed it into it, which will easily cause new incompatible problems. By then, we cannot push everything to a new level.

bring it on?

As for the server and network connection issues, as I said before, just ask Legend for advice, or just leave it to Dongxu Technology. Now they are contractors of our game company. If you don’t understand or need anything, please contact us.

Just list the requirements and let them do it. If they can't do it, we'll discuss the issues that can't be done."

Yang Dongxu's solution to the problem raised by Chang Hao can be said to be simple and crude. In a word, you can make me what I want. Even if the content cannot be enriched for the time being, this foundation must be done well. After it is made, we will slowly debug it.

, If there is a problem, solve the problem. If there is no problem, go to the next problem.

"I need to go back and think about this carefully, and I need to hold a meeting with the subordinates before I can give you an accurate answer." Chang Hao thought for a moment and felt that the things his new boss asked for were complicated and even a bit overwhelming, but it didn't seem impossible.

It’s just that the workload has doubled compared to before.

"Okay, we don't have to worry about this for now. We can also ask the Legend Department for more advice. We can start the project this year and develop it next year."

"I'll try my best." Chang Hao nodded. Although the time requirement is a kind of pressure, the time given is quite sufficient. After all, it is only July. If the answer sheet is delivered by the end of next year, it will take a year and a half.

Do the work.

"Then go ahead and make a rough plank. I'll provide you with the manpower you lack as soon as possible."

Although Yang Dongxu does not know much about game development and is considered an outsider, he has studied the general framework of game development. He understands that even if Xishanju comes in and lacks the manpower of the game company, this number of people is still far from enough. Especially when running two games

one or even more large-scale online games.

This cannot 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, numerical values, plot, copywriting, system, version, script, operation and other subdivided work.

And there is also an art department, such as an art director, scenes, if you want, characters, original paintings, flat paintings, videos, etc.

Every position requires people, and each position cannot be handled by one person. Now the two game departments of Xuri Technology have only 42 people combined, including his boss. This is a small amount of manpower.

It is simply not enough to dominate the domestic game market.

Therefore, the arrival of Xishanju solved the urgent need of Xuri Technology, allowing Legend 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 use the money in his hand to recruit more talents.

OK.
