Top game producer

Wang Jian looked at the newly appeared task with a subtle expression.

“Anyway, I’m leaving soon, there’s no need to be so petty, right?”

It wasn't that he disliked the baldy; in fact, the entire company had quite a few complaints about him.

Because the baldy simply didn't have the professional knowledge and qualities to make games. It was said that even his gaming skills were terrible.

He was able to become the company's boss entirely because he had a relative who was a senior game producer at Penguin Games.

Penguin Games is the leader of Huaguo game companies, one of the overlords of the game industry. It has dozens of top-tier games such as 'Penguin Dance', 'Penguin Racing', and 'Gunfight King', and countless first-class games.

Although there is no unified standard for top-tier games, the industry basically agrees that to be called top-tier, the total revenue must be at least over one billion!

And producers who have been responsible for developing several top-tier games are also known as ace game producers!

Below ace game producers, there are senior, intermediate, and junior levels.

The game producer is the soul of a game team, the absolute core leader.

Not only must they be familiar with various game systems, industry trends, and player preferences, but they must also master the various principles of game design, the application of different art styles, the rational arrangement of plot levels, and the control of game details.

Moreover, they must possess outstanding leadership and organizational skills, enabling team members to accurately understand their ideas and overcome difficulties to achieve project goals.

In other words, until the game is finally launched, the game producer must personally participate in every step of the game development process.

Every ace game producer is a core figure in major game companies, the foundation of their foothold in the industry.

Not only is their position in the company outstanding, but they can even participate in the company's decision-making, and the company will seriously consider their opinions.

That's how awesome they are!

The baldy relied on his relative who was a senior game producer at Penguin Games to participate in some small game projects of Penguin Company.

Even just drinking soup with Penguin Company, he was already living very comfortably.

Wang Jian didn't particularly like the baldy, but he wouldn't go so far as to make him lose face before resigning.

Too petty, and unnecessary.

Moreover, the lines are also very embarrassing.

However, for the sake of a lottery chance from the task reward, I'll be embarrassed once!

“I’m leaving! I’ll come see you next time!”

Wang Jian stroked the black tabby's head, picked it up from his leg, lowered his head, and waved goodbye.

The black tabby circled Wang Jian's leg, reluctantly chasing after him for a while, but finally stopped, sat on the edge of the square, wagged its tail, and silently watched the figure go away.

One hour later.

With a 'ding-dong' sound, the elevator opened, and Wang Jian walked out of it.

If it were working hours, the elevator in this building would be very busy, but now there was no need to squeeze into the elevator with others.

Wang Jian returned to his planning team's office with practiced ease, and saw Kai-ge facing the screen, browsing a document.

The name of the company he worked for, 'So-and-So Game Company', sounded impressive, but it wasn't that big. The planning team, including himself, had only three people.

“Kai-ge, I’m back.”

Kai-ge turned his chair, picked up his thermos cup, blew on it, and showed a look of helplessness: “Yo, you’re finally back? What’s the situation today, tell me about it.”

Wang Jian brewed for a moment: “Kai-ge, I’m planning to resign.”

Kai-ge's eyes widened, and a mouthful of water mixed with a few wolfberries sprayed out. Fortunately, he turned his head in time, so he didn't spray it on Wang Jian's face.

“What, what?” Kai-ge coughed repeatedly, took a tissue to wipe it, and revealed a look of concern, “Xiao Jian, you’re not kidding, are you? Did something happen at home? Or are you not satisfied with the current work environment?”

Wang Jian subconsciously touched the back of his head: “Neither, it’s just that I registered a studio and plan to start my own business.”

If Kai-ge knew that he had taken over a studio with an unknown situation, he would definitely scold him for being confused.

And the existence of the system could not be revealed.

So he kindly concealed part of the situation.

Even so, Kai-ge's expression still became serious, and he carefully considered his words while stroking his thermos cup: “Xiao Jian, I’m not advising you as a senior in the company now, but as a friend.”

“I know you are a young man with dreams and passion, and I have seen your hard work and progress this year.”

Kai-ge changed the subject: “However, I’m not trying to discourage you, but starting a business is really not that easy.”

“Are there young people who have succeeded in starting a business? Yes, but their families are rich. If they fail once, they can try again, relying on burning money to make up for the lack of experience. They can afford to fail. If they don’t succeed, they just won’t start a business and honestly go back to inherit the family property.”

“Are you from a wealthy family? Can you afford several failures? Especially in our game industry, creativity is important, but the things outside of creativity are even more important! Without money, how can you buy a smart console? Without money, how can you find original art? Without money, how can you polish the details? Without money, how can you do numerical balancing?”

The game development smart console is a development aid tool jointly developed by the world's top dozen game companies, leading smart laboratories, and hardware manufacturers more than twenty years ago.

It is equipped with hundreds of programs that can more efficiently assist game developers in making games.

For example, character modeling correction, task template generation, bgm adjustment, etc., its functions are infinite.

To sum it up simply, with the game development smart console, fewer developers are needed, the game development time is shortened, and the role of the game producer's 'brain' in the team is more prominent.

However, even the weakest and cheapest 'White Wolf' model smart console on the market costs 1 million Huayuan.

After a series of questions, Kai-ge's attitude eased: “Xiao Jian, we are now past the era where a single idea can support a good game. Even if an unknown studio like yours makes a game of good quality, without channels and without recommendations, sales will probably be bleak.”

Wang Jian nodded sincerely. He knew this was the reality of the game industry.

Today's players are used to playing games from big companies and are not interested in games that are not from big companies.

“Remember that indie game 'Chasing Stars' from a few years ago? In order to pursue perfect game quality, the producer sold his house, used master-level original art, and customized the most fitting music. The final game effect was indeed very beautiful, and could even be said to be a work of art. Although the reputation was excellent, sales were mediocre until 'Chasing Stars' won an award, and it didn't even earn back the cost of making the game, almost going bankrupt.” Kai-ge sighed.

Kai-ge was a little thirsty and took a sip of water.

“If you want to make your own games, it’s best to patiently train in our company for a few years first. You also know that our company relies on the relationship with Penguin Games. If a project performs well, it may be noticed by the higher-ups and assigned some more important tasks.”

Pointing his finger up: “I believe that with your growth rate, in a few years, there is a high chance of being noticed by the higher-ups. This is much more stable than you opening a studio and struggling on your own.”

Wang Jian was a little helpless.

He knew that Kai-ge was doing it for his own good, so he said so much earnestly.

But with the system in his body, he was now determined to resign.

He could only say sorry to Kai-ge.

“Kai-ge, thank you for your concern, I have already decided.”

Kai-ge looked at Wang Jian's firm eyes and sighed for a long time.

He reached out and shook his hand hard, seemingly trying to convey some kind of power: “Xiao Jian, go chase your dreams. I wish you success soon!”
