Chapter 90 Outsourcing

Video games are definitely a low-energy-consumption and high-value-added enterprise. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In fact, there are many countries that are trying to develop video game industrial parks. However, video games do not require much infrastructure due to their lack of requirements.

In addition, the added value is relatively high, so there is no reason to go to those remote industrial parks, which are generally settled in prosperous cities.

At most, like in the United States, it is settled in Silicon Valley.

In fact, Xuele Mountain, a major game company in the United States, was located in a beautiful location, so it could not recruit the best video game talents all year round.

Because, it's the only company here, and there are no more job opportunities. Therefore, top talents generally don't like to go.

If you can go, you can generally see the treatment of Xuele Mountain, so let's go there.

In fact, the games made by Xuele Mountain are all relatively fun. For example, one of Lin Yan's favorite games is "Evil Genius" produced by Xuele Mountain.

This game is a combination of simulation management and simulation construction games. It is the story of a world's top villain, on a small island, building a small island.

One of the more interesting things about this game is that only Kojima has a real setting. However, the worldview is unusually large.

Because, they use the world map to mark each event on the map, and the player can start all the events in the mission by doing the mission.

Although there are only two small islands on the map, it can make the player feel that they have the whole world.

Actually, the style of the whole game is a bit like that kind of spy movie. However, the player is not a witty spy protagonist, but a villain in a spy movie.

Actually, Lin Yan sometimes wonders, what do you say the villains in the movie are for. There is obviously no benefit to being a villain.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a slightly more normal person?

Lin Yan sometimes feels very confused, although he likes "Evil Genius", but he still can't understand what the protagonist of Evil Genius is for.

It may be that everyone's pursuit is different, perhaps, if Lin Yan's pursuit is also to be a big villain, perhaps, he is already the biggest villain in the world now.

Of course, it cannot be denied that sometimes whether a person is a good person or a bad person has nothing to do with whether he is a good person or a bad person. It's all about propaganda.

If, a certain party, a certain party with strong propaganda ability, ruthlessly promotes that a good person is a bad person, then of course, in fact, it is impossible to distinguish between good and bad people.

Some people are good people for some people, and bad people for others.

For example, the comprador bureaucrats are good people to people of their own class, and they are bad people to the landlords and ordinary poor people.

For example, such and such an organization is a good person to the poor and to the broad masses of the people, but they are great evildoers to the landlords and comprador bureaucrats.

Of course, because they have powerful propaganda tools in their hands, they are able to let ordinary people know what kind of people they really are. Demonization is avoided.

Still, demonization is inevitable.

In fact, there are some things that are more interesting recently.

That is, an "educational institution" with the theme of quitting game addiction openly crosses the province to hunt down a student who has escaped from their clutches.

According to this student, this organization is actually very dark. And they have so much energy, it's actually very interesting.

However, it is not too difficult to understand how this works. After all, most countries in the world are now in charge of the economy.

For an area that is not particularly economically developed, there can be such a person who can quit Internet addiction, get a huge number of people to come here to spend, and be able to pay a lot of taxes, no matter what they do.

The local authorities will give them protection.

It's normal, nothing strange.

However, it is really eye-catching that a small "educational institution" can be more capable of acting than the so-called violent organs of the state.

In fact, these children who are attending classes here are not so much a person to them. It's not so much a commodity. It's like the food I mentioned before, and food safety. Actually, everyone's relationship is pretty much the same.

Only the last link eaters will pay attention to whether there is a problem with this thing, and in the previous few links, in fact, no one pays attention to whether this thing is safe or not, but only cares about how much money can be made.

Therefore, such as electrotherapy, which can be called an extremely distorted "medical activity", can be carried out in full swing in some places.

Even, many of the children who came out of here, although they seemed to be obedient and obedient, but, to some extent, their lives were ruined.

Of course, it cannot be denied that some parents also have problems.

For example, a parent takes a child through the security check, because the security check will confiscate the slingshot in the child's hand. If the security personnel are described as underworld forces, they will say that they are from Xiamen University, and they will never bow to the underworld forces.

In fact, many people know what is going on.

The children raised by such parents may say that they have nothing to bring in an explosive-bomb, isn't it just some molecular polymer, or something, and I am not from Xiamen University.

It is absolutely nonsense to say that the child's slingshot is not dangerous, not to mention hitting people's eyes, that is, hitting some people's bodies in more fragile places, it is unbearable.

Of course, the relationship between all this and Lin Yan is actually not particularly big, and Lin Yan is sometimes idle, so he pays attention to these messy things.

However, paying attention to these, sometimes I want to add them to the game as some easter eggs. You know, there is a very big feature of today's online games, that is, the data can be updated at any time.

You know, in the original textbooks of Japanese animation scripts, there was a saying that you should not write what is trending in the script at the moment.

Because, from the script to the broadcast of the animation, it is likely to take half a year.

You know, half a year is enough for many fresh hot spots to become a rotten stone. Maybe when this hot spot first came out, it was really interesting.

But, today, they're the kind of thing that makes people feel embarrassed.

Of course, this theorem is due to the cycle of animation production.

However, online games can be pushed by facts. In this way, it is completely possible to catch the time of hot spots or hot spots.

Of course, plugging in any hot spot will actually make players feel annoying.

Therefore, Chiba games sometimes go through big data analysis. That is, through their own social media, and other channels of mobile phone information, in this way, to a certain extent, you can ensure that the content you push is what players like.

Of course, doing so means a lot of work and a lack of pushers.

However, there are also benefits. The upside is that players will get bored with this kind of push and come later than the full push.

In fact, most of the production of video games now still has embarked on a process-based routine. Even, there are companies that specialize in selling game templates.

This is the template that can be modified into a type of game.

To put it simply, the division of labor in the skinning game has become more explicit.

This is actually a good thing to be productive for video games. Of course, there may be more homogeneous games for players.

But don't worry too much.

After all, software like RPG Maker is capable of making classics for some people. In fact, there is a certain framework, and sometimes it is a good thing for game makers.

After all, not all game makers have a high level of technology.

For most people, their level of making games is actually at a relatively low level.

Take all the employees in Chiba Games as an example, it may include the aunt who sweeps the floor, to the software that will use the game to make it. However, there are not many people who can really use the magic and can lead the entire production process of a game without the help of others.

Or the reason for the clarification of the division of labor.,Actually,Most of the staff of Chiba games,It's only in a certain field.,Particularly good.怂

It may be that the scripter who makes the game plan cannot say that he does not know about game production, but his so-called understanding is only to a limited extent, for example, to a certain extent, to know which ideas can be realized and which first-mover cannot be realized.

Sometimes, the employees at the bottom want to make some independent games on their own, unless they have a particularly wide network, otherwise, they have to go to the Chiba Games staff forum to find like-minded people.

In fact, in recent years, the working hours of employees have been greatly shortened.

It's basically a forty-hour week level.

That's eight hours a day, five days a week.

Of course, this is the real working time, such as lunch time, rest time, and it has to be counted separately.

Another thing is that employees can sometimes work from home without having to come to the company.

Unless there are some problems that do not allow you to communicate face-to-face, you will not be able to pass the work, otherwise there seems to be nothing wrong with working from home.

Of course, Chiba Games also strives to improve the quality of work in the company through its own efforts, and strives to make the staff feel that working from home is not as good as being in the company, so as to let them stay in the company.

I hope that employees are in the company, but sometimes, the distance is too far, and it is not conducive to work.

After all, one of the most difficult jobs in Chiba games right now is responsible for coordinating various departments. These people are basically able to coordinate this position.

In addition to some of their own strengths, their personalities are also very special, for example, people who are easily angry are not suitable for this position.

You know, the creature of programmers, and the creatures of game makers, can sometimes be a little bit weird.

This strangeness is not a small strangeness, but a big strangeness, to what extent is it strange, it is strange, they may not be very suitable for social living.

Not very good for communication.

In such a situation, it takes a lot of strength and skill to get them to work together efficiently.

At least, Lin Yan himself is not fully qualified for this position. He sometimes thinks it's better to let others make games with him than to make them himself.

After all, most of the games that Lin Yan likes to make are actually not particularly large. Able to allow one person to make the finish.

In fact, Lin Yan is more inclined to optimize game production tools, which is to allow one person to accomplish more things in less time.

It's not that simple, though.

Because, if there are too many things built into the machine, there are too many automatically generated things, it means that the game is homogeneous.

Therefore, a more compromise approach is to make a separate style library for each game.

In this way, even if it is a game engine, the style of the game produced will be relatively different.

In this way, some texture artists and pipe card designers can be better liberated.

However, just because productivity increases doesn't mean they'll be idle.

Although, Chiba Games is able to guarantee such an intensity of work forty hours a week. However, this is based on the crazy squeeze of those outsourcing companies.

However, these outsourcing companies are more submissive.

Why do you say that, because outsourcing Chiba Games is very profitable. At least, it's profitable compared to outsourcing to other game companies.

And in this era, there are many people who study art, learn this and that. Therefore, the balance of supply and demand is inclined to the side of the Chiba game.

Chiba Games can choose what kind of outsourcing they use, and those outsourcing options are only worse.

So, under this premise, what they are able to do. It becomes even less.

They can only work overtime non-stop to fulfill the requirements of the Chiba game.

At the very least, the high requirements of Chiba Games can allow them to get more money in the future outsourcing business. Because, sometimes outsourcing to Chiba Games is a postcard for them.

As a result, many companies have become outsourced, outsourced, outsourced, outsourced, and then, until they were able to set up a game company to make games.

However, at the end of the day, most of the time, they still work for Chiba Games, and their lives are like this. Oppressed, exploited. (To be continued.) )
