Chapter 215: It's easier for a layman to subvert an insider
After chatting about some follow-up work about the game "Stupid Bird Flies First", Arthur, accompanied by Edward, came to the project team of "Talking John Cat", which was remade into a game by Arthur when the studio was established.
The development progress of John Cat and Stupid Bird First is different, after all, Stupid Bird Flying First cannot be compared with John Cat's in terms of picture quality and music, and the difficulty of development.
In the game of John Cat, the technical position occupies the focus, and the development progress and development planning are basically technology-based, and the main strategy and planning have become auxiliary.
Prepare the basic functions of the game framework, prepare the various components, prepare the communication protocol, and so on. It takes three or four months to determine the development time of each module, start the development of module functions, and so on.
Therefore, it is not so easy to develop a mobile game that is correct, and after a circle, Arthur also knows that his plan is really not a big deal.
Because in the game development world, due to the unprofessionalism of the planning product, the whole team has to do too many wrong things, after all, the planning is written in the wrong document, and it can be changed by changing a few words, but the technical staff needs to do a lot of work to develop and test to change it.
So for now, everyone at John Cat is talking about putting his boss's outrageously simple plan together, and Edward is devoting most of his time to the development team.
“。。。 Fortunately, we have sufficient staffing, and in this project, I am also responsible for part of the work, mainly responsible for writing framework communication, and most of the rest is writing components and modules, and the head and deputy leaders of the technical development team are responsible for writing instant messaging and synchronous voice changing. This staffing is also very reasonable. ”
Edward and Arthur stood at the edge of the studio's office area, smiling and informing Arthur of the details of the John Cat development team.
"Did this instant messaging idea that I changed completely change the difficulty of developing this game?" asked Arthur with a slight frown, looking at the staff who had more staff than the studio on the other side.
"Yes, boss, the difficulty of development is not as simple as a mobile game, so the time may not be so fast. “
"Can we build the framework and develop it in game mode first, and then slowly update the version and add features?" Hearing Edward's words, Arthur groaned and asked again.
"Yes, this is also what I want to propose to the boss, recently I have been researching some popular mobile games on the market, I found that a game to succeed, it is really not that easy, sometimes the luck component is also very large, some games, the code is particularly bad, but it makes money, some of the code is written very well, a look at the code I feel that the architecture is particularly good, I know that it is a particular programmer to write, but not necessarily profitable.
We can first make the whole program of John Cat open modular, and when the time comes, we can add any functions directly, just add modules, after all, John Cat is blunt, it is still a game at all, we will put it on the market first, see the reaction, and then decide whether to continue to increase investment, so that even if the response is not good, we can also reduce losses and find a way again. ”
The gaze in Edward's eyes flickered slightly, Arthur's proposal was indeed in his arms, it was just a mobile game, from the beginning the paving was too big, and if the manpower and material resources invested were too large, it was a bit more than worth the loss, after all, the market response was unknown, but it was better to work steadily step by step, which was also the conclusion that their project team reached after many meetings.
However, although they reached a consensus, what gave them a headache was how to convince the boss who came up with a good creative plan, but did not understand a little technology, changed his mind and became the biggest trouble they faced.
In the IT world, one of the situations that these technicians are most helpless and don't want to face is that they don't understand the technology to plan and lead the project!
Not only in the eyes of managers who don't understand technology, the progress of the project can be solved by working overtime and adding people, in their eyes, the progress of one person for three days is the same as three people a day, the most speechless thing for them is that they often let the technology spend a lot of money to develop a function with low priority and little output, and this kind of manager who does not understand technology will also feel that the developer's ability is the same, he doesn't care about the principles of software design, as long as it is completed as planned...
Therefore, it is a developer's luck to meet a leader who understands technology and respects technology. If the person in charge of the company or project is a technology change product or planner, it is a lot of luck for the developer!
However, now, the sad thing is that the boss not only doesn't understand technology, but also the planner of this game, they are really worried that the boss who has not met in their own family will come to a layman to lead an insider, and give a blind command, so that they will be tired and tired, and finally make a lump of Xiang.
Arthur naturally doesn't know these tricks in this, but fortunately, he is not the kind of person who is rigid and self-serving, and his biggest advantage is that he is self-aware.
To be honest, in addition to being able to grasp the pulse of time, grasp the general trend of the future, engage in some literary creation, understand some antiques, and read more books, he really knows a little about other fields.
Fortunately, in his previous life, he was bathed in the light of wisdom of the Heavenly Empire for five thousand years from childhood to adulthood, and many stories of ancient sages and kings can be used for reference.
Now that you are standing at the top of the pyramid, you must learn how to control talents for your own use, instead of personally dismounting and charging into battle, you are a billionaire, you can't go to grab a job with a subordinate, right?
If Arthur really only has such a pattern, then failure is his final end!
"In this case, then according to the plan you discussed, for the IT industry, I am a layman, only provide ideas and ideas, how to improve, produce, is your business, I do not interfere, nor blind command, the process for me, is not important, I just wait to see the results." Arthur smiled and patted Edward's arm, and said very frankly.
Edward nodded slightly, he had a new understanding of the young boss's atmosphere and strength, this is the person who does great things, and he deserves the boss to become a billionaire at such a young age!
After that, Arthur personally presided over a plenary meeting, first of all, in front of all the studio members, let them know whose jobs they were serving, and let them see what their boss looked like.
Then listen to the development progress reports of the heads of the three game development teams, in addition to Stupid Bird First Fly and John Cat, there are also fruit swordsmen who have also set up projects, equipped with personnel, and started development.
Seriously, Arthur set up a game studio, in fact, he took a certain risk, although he knows how big the money of mobile games is, but after all, he is a layman who doesn't know anything about technology, look at those successful game companies, basically a few founders made a game at the beginning, and then the game made money, got the investment, and recruited people to slowly grow the company, open new projects, and the individual team could grow big at that time.
And it is certain that several founders must be able to stand alone in all aspects, the producers, technology, and testing must be relatively good, and the single game is successful, and the company continues to grow and develop and open new projects.
Even if a game company develops in this situation, if the company develops much faster than the current skill quality of the founder, if the founder's skill level can keep up, the probability of success of the new project is high, and if the founder's skill level does not improve, the risk of failure is still very high.
Therefore, starting a business is hard, not to say that you can smash a successful business by throwing money, not to mention that you are involved in an industry that you are not familiar with, so it is even more difficult to succeed.
As the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, so in order to succeed, Arthur can only create enough space for his subordinates to play freely, and at the same time, he must also master the rudder so that the ship will not be destroyed.
Of course, as a person who grasps the general trend of the future, he will not be afraid of risks and difficulties, because the future belongs to the era of subverting logic, and it is easier for laymen to subvert insiders!
