The New Year is still the same as in previous years, on the first day of work, Liu Neng gave red envelopes to employees at the door of the company.

It's just that now the time it takes to send red envelopes is getting longer and longer, and it only takes about ten minutes for one person to get it at the beginning, and the money for red envelopes will not be too thick in your hand. At that time, in the first year, all the employees of the company combined were only a few dozen.

But now, the IDEA pumping station in Shanghai has more than 700 employees. There are still hundreds of people in the Blue Star Studio in Guanghua City, of course, Guanghua City doesn't need him to go over by himself, Zhang Yueyang, Zhang Jie, Xu Yuting and others can get things done properly.

Li Lizhen also insisted on sending red envelopes to employees with him, "Inherit the tradition, I think this tradition is very good!" ”

Liu Neng smiled, but he was worried that it was too cold, "Actually, Sister Zhen doesn't need it, arrange more than two people, the same." If you sleep every night with cold hands and feet, and if you freeze again, it's not good. ”

Li Lizhen also smiled sweetly, "It's okay, spend more time with your boyfriend."

"It's like I'm too busy to be home every day." Liu Neng said helplessly, in fact, their company is probably the most relaxed game company in China, there is no one - no overtime system, looking at the world, it is estimated that not many game companies can do it.

"I know how to go to the office." Li Lizhen is still very stubborn.

The employees came one after another, and when they saw the two people "singing and singing" here to send red envelopes, they were also excited to come over to pay New Year's greetings, and then as usual, they had to ask, "When will the boss and the boss get married?" Waiting for the wedding wine......"

"Don't forget the red envelope, otherwise don't blame me for giving you little shoes to wear." Liu Neng said sternly.

Later, after Peng Shuang and several studio bosses came, they also sent red envelopes together, and they were busy for nearly an hour before it ended.

There was nothing to do in the first three days, everyone hadn't gotten into the working state yet, and Liu Neng would not urge the employees to start getting busy, in fact, there was nothing too much to be busy at this time.

He mainly met with a group of executives to talk about the progress of several games that are currently in development.

The two biggest projects at the beginning of the year, one has been named "Dynasty Warriors", and the other is "DotA2", which has completely broken away from the mother bag of "Warcraft 2".

Other than that, it's just a matter of minor projects or version updates.

"Three Kingdoms Kill OL" in two years, has been the original plan of the wind forest volcano series of card packs are about to be released, the next stage, should be in the direction of entertainment development, there will be some entertainment-oriented cards.

The expansion pack of "Spore" came out at the end of last year, and the next Spore series of games is not DLC but an IP expansion game, which is already in the process of being established, "Spore: Origin", a massively multiplayer online role-playing game set against the backdrop of the rise of the Grox Empire and the fall of the Earth.

ON TOP OF THAT, HE'S PLANNING TO MAKE A GAME SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SWITCH, BUT HE'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CONSOLE'S PROTOTYPE TO COME AND SEE IT. The production of the main engine is not so easy, even if the prototype is produced, it will take a long time to industrialize the assembly line production.

There are many problems involved, such as a lot of components, which are not actually used in mobile phones, and may need to design molds separately and have special assembly lines.

Almost, it will take a year after the prototype comes out before the host can be officially launched, and the production capacity may be relatively low, and it is necessary to further see the market reaction. With a good market response and high player acceptance, those hardware manufacturers may increase production lines and then increase production capacity; If the feedback is not good after the listing, there is still a lot of backlog of machines on hand, it is good not to cut the assembly line, as for the production capacity, first sell the current inventory of those machines.

"Let's talk about it, what's the current situation of "True Three"?" Liu Neng now uses the video conference, which is much more convenient than the physical transmission to Guanghua City.

The game studio of the Three Kingdoms of Mexico is in Guanghua City instead of Shanghai, and Liu Neng, who has just finished the fatigue of the fake boat, is unwilling to fly to Guanghua City again. And some time ago, I drove back and forth by myself, and the mental consumption was quite large.

"It's coming to an end, but there are still some issues – mostly artistic." Zhuge helped.

"For example?"

"The game rendering isn't very good, and I think it could go further." He said, and then worried that Liu Neng would not understand the cause and effect, and added, "Isn't it true that the ordinary attack in the game has five stage attacks?" The coherence is not good, and there is also the problem that the game freezes due to too many characters appearing on the battlefield, and it is still solving the public ......"

Liu Neng thought for a moment and asked, "Can it be solved?" ”

Zhuge Yuan: "Yes!" ”

"How long?"

Zhuge Yuan: "Within a month." Then it began to enter the stage of debugging in full swing. Therefore, it can be launched within two months. ”

Liu Neng thought for a while, "In terms of time, it should be okay, if you can, compress the time a little bit - under the condition of ensuring that employees do not need to work overtime." ”

"Okay, understood."

Liu Neng asked Zhang Yueyang again, "Are there any other studios that are relatively idle?" ”

Zhang Yueyang was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?" Want to play a new game? ”

Liu Neng said with a smile, "Yes, it must be done, you look at it, transfer some people to the Mo Three Kingdoms Studio, they will be busier in the next stage." But first transfer people, and then get acquainted with them. ”

Zhuge Yuan seemed a little excited, "What game?" What type? Or is it the theme of the Three Kingdoms? Or is it something else? ”

"It's still the Three Kingdoms. Do you still have idlers? How many people are there on the Three Kingdoms Killing Project? ”

"We maintain an organizational structure of nearly 20 people, half planning and half procedures. Art is not counted in the project team. Zhuge helped.

"This number is okay, but you can change it, don't stay in one project all the time, I'm afraid their heads are aging, this is not good. Engage in some rotation systems, so that some relatively stable projects can communicate and learn from each other. ”

"Understood." Zhang Yueyang understands the usefulness of this move and broadens his horizons, which is actually very helpful for planning. Some large companies, especially larger and larger companies, have become more and more rigid, and the mobility of personnel is insufficient, on the one hand, it is easy to form small groups, and on the other hand, as Liu Neng just said, it is easy to be trapped in one place; And lying on the credit book all the time, it's not appropriate.

"Let's talk about new games, I haven't talked about new games for a long time, what is it?" Zhuge Yuan was a little anxious.

"Don't worry, let's talk about the follow-up of the real Three Kingdoms Warriors, and there will be an expansion film, and the fierce general will be passed on. This is one of the most important things you will do this year......"
