Top game producer

#211 - Aren't tools just for decoration?

Wang Jian looked at the EVA Unit-01 figure and was a little speechless: "Am I not asking for more criticism from the players...?"

Players would argue from time to time for various reasons. Making pixel games would get him flak for the poor graphics, making handheld games would get him flak for being bloated, making a small game would get him flak for running out of ideas, and sometimes competitors would deliberately stir up trouble...

Just like the note on the EVA Unit-01 figure, it's absolutely impossible for people to fully understand each other. Some people like it, and some people will definitely hate it.

Wang Jian never really cared about this. Anyway, when it comes to making games, the quality of the game is the most important thing. If the game quality is good, players will naturally stand up to defend it, and those who criticized it before might even change their tune. If the quality is not good, no matter how much you say, people will criticize it.

Like Longyuan Entertainment, on the one hand, the games they make are basically system-produced, each with its own unique advantages. They are very affordable in terms of pricing, and there have been no major operational errors, so the reputation among players is quite good.

On the other hand, Wang Jian's equipped "Angel of Love" title also played a role in reducing the number of potential trolls.

Other large game companies, with their large size, naturally have more troubles. When player reputation conflicts with making money, they sacrifice a little reputation. Anyway, as long as they make money, it's fine. At worst, they can just apologize. In the end, you players still have to play my game. After all, large companies have abundant funds, which means that the quality of the games they produce has a basic guarantee, and subsequent maintenance can keep up.

The most difficult thing for independent games is often not the lack of good ideas, but the maintenance and improvement after the game framework is formed. They are so busy fixing bugs that they don't have time to improve the gameplay, art, and other aspects of the game.

That's why during the last Shenlong Award game ceremony, when several big shots like Qian Chaoduo took the stage to speak, they were booed by the players.

This is all the resentment from having their wallets emptied by waves of pay-to-win schemes, and they might not even be enjoying the game!

Therefore, Wang Jian appreciated the beauty of the EVA Unit-01 figure, which blended violence and steel, and threw it back into the system space.

It is estimated that this passive skill will not be of much use, and it is good to just use it as a decoration.

The production difficulty of "League of Legends" is S-level, so this time we have to recruit more tool people.

...

In the office, Wang Jian adjusted the posture of the EVA Unit-01 figure and placed it on the desk, side by side with the Nai Xi figure and the Pikachu figure.

He called the Minister of Personnel.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

Wang Jian thought for a moment: "Go and help me recruit a hundred... no, two hundred tool people. Art, music, modeling, planning, programming, management... we need all kinds of talents. We're going to make a big splash with the next game!"

The Minister of Personnel looked surprised: "Boss, two hundred tool people is not a small number, and if we're making a big production, we definitely need people with some game development experience. I feel like we won't be able to recruit so many in a short period of time, we might have to recruit them slowly!

However, our company is so strong, as long as the money is in place, we definitely won't have to worry about people not coming!"

Wang Jian nodded: "It's okay, recruit slowly, there's no rush! Pay them twice the standard salary! Anyway, we have so much money that it seems like we've never spent it!"

The Minister of Personnel rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "I have a nephew who is a programmer, but he still has a lot of hair. Can I let him come over?"

Wang Jian smiled: "Totally okay! Aren't tool people just for decoration?

The Minister of Personnel said excitedly: "Okay, I'll call him to apply!"

...

Wang Jian was bored and wandered around the office.

Now it's basically a holiday state, and the employees don't have any new games to make, so they are doing what they like.

"Hi~" Wang Jian greeted and came to the side of Ye Meng and Tong Ke's positions, "You two are still painting? Don't you want to have some fun during the holiday? You're really diligent!"

Ye Meng still had her hair in pigtails today, tied with a pink flower hairpin. Even wearing a blue professional outfit, she couldn't hide her childishness.

Seeing Wang Jian come over to praise her, she immediately raised her head happily, with a proud smile on her face: "Drawing is a leisure activity for artists, and the workload of "Undertale"'s art is not too much, I haven't been able to fully enjoy it yet. Boss, look at how well I've drawn!"

"Hehe, you're really a child!" Tong Ke couldn't help but laugh, and affectionately rubbed Ye Meng's head.

Ye Meng was immediately unhappy, puffed up her cheeks angrily, closed her eyes, and turned her head to the side: "Hmph! Sister Tong Ke, I'm not talking to you!"

"Oh?" Tong Ke elegantly picked up her coffee cup, took a sip with relish, and raised her eyebrows with a mischievous smile, "Unsweetened black coffee, can you drink it? This is an adult's drink!"

Ye Meng opened one eye slightly, glanced at Tong Ke's coffee cup, her eyes tangled and wavering, and then made up her mind, snatched it over and took a sip!

She wanted to prove her maturity, but immediately showed a bitter and unspeakable expression, frowning, even squinting her eyes, sticking out her tongue like a puppy: "Rua, bitter! So bitter!"

"..." Bai Xueyao was secretly observing behind the computer screen, hesitating to speak.

Wang Jian was admiring the two's paintings, raised his head and saw Ye Meng's sad expression, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't force yourself too much!"

Ye Meng and Tong Ke were both drawing fan art of "Undertale".

In Ye Meng's painting, the protagonist holds a short blade flashing with bloody light, the heart emitting a dazzling red light in the chest, the hair blown up by the strong wind, standing in front of the monster transformed from Flowey in the final BOSS battle of the neutral route.

Flowey at this time is based on a monitor, with his face displayed on the screen, his eyes are vertical pupils as red as hot irons, revealing two rows of white teeth, laughing wantonly and arrogantly. The monitor is surrounded by an octopus-like body, connected by ring-shaped rubber hoses, several huge human eyes staring at the protagonist without emotion, and sharp fangs growing on the fleshy tentacles.

Above the octopus's body, there are also two cactus-like green and fat arms, with burrs, and sharp red claws at the front.

The whole monster looks like many unrelated things pieced together, dark and evil, grotesque and terrifying, giving a feeling of mental pollution.

And Tong Ke's painting is on a grassland with golden yellow flowers blooming and butterflies flying. The protagonist is holding a butterfly net, squatting on the ground, staring at a red ladybug with black spots on the flower in front of him with a fresh and curious face, flapping its wings and about to fly.

Toriel is wearing her light white robe, kneeling on the other side, her long ears resting on both sides of her cheeks, obediently lowering her head, lovingly stroking the protagonist's head, although it is just a gentle smile, you can fully feel the happiness and satisfaction in her heart.

The golden warm sunlight shines on the two people, the scene is warm and beautiful, and you can even smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

On the edge of the sunlight, a cute little flower is poking its head out, quietly watching this scene, seemingly unwilling to go over and share their sunlight, just watching from the side, you can share this love.

The two have obvious differences in terms of painting style and theme, one is terrifying and grotesque, and the other is warm and beautiful. Contrasting them together, the contrast is extremely strong, but both are equally excellent.

However, from a personal psychological point of view, Wang Jian still prefers Tong Ke's paintings, he likes this sunny and warm feeling.

Happy 2020~
