Chapter 13 The new version plan is already here
"Let's put aside the work at hand and have a regular meeting!"
Zhou Zhen's face was not very good, and he was probably hungry.
He and Xiong Kai were criticized by Liu Yuxin before getting off work yesterday, and today they were criticized with other responsible persons, so it was strange that they were in a good mood.
But this is also normal, after all, he is the chief designer, and he doesn't take the blame.
Let the main program and the main art take the blame? That's not like words.
Let Liu Yuxin take the blame? That's even more unlikely......
Everyone in the design team stood up one after another and followed Zhou Zhen to the conference room one by one.
There are several meeting rooms on this floor, and the meeting rooms for regular meetings are all pre-booked. Zhong Ming followed the rest of the design team into the conference room and sat down in the corner.
Zhou Zhen saw that everyone was almost there, and looked at Zhong Ming, who was sitting at the door: "Close the door and start the meeting." ”
Zhong Ming was just about to close the door, when he saw Liu Yuxin walking in with a black face.
"Director Liu." Zhong Ming nodded slightly.
"Hmm." Liu Yuxin's face was not very good, so he went straight to the conference room and found a vacant seat to sit down.
"Alright, let's have a meeting." Liu Yuxin said.
Liu Yuxin is the supervisor, but he also comes from the chief designer, so he often comes to audit the regular meetings of the design team, and only occasionally goes to audit the program team and the art team.
Seeing Liu Yuxin sit down, Zhou Zhen's pressure was even greater, and he said with a calm face: "Okay, let's have a meeting." ”
The atmosphere at the scene was a little dull, after all, everyone could guess that the data of the new version was not good, so they didn't speak.
According to the process of the regular meeting, the first thing is to briefly summarize the work of the previous week, which is basically a cutscene, and Zhou Zhen and Liu Yuxin can see the work summary submitted by everyone, so it does not take up a few minutes.
Now there's the focus of the regular meeting, about the new version.
Zhou Zhen said with some frustration: "Everyone should know it, the data is not good after the new version is launched." Instead of rising, our numbers of active users and deposits have fallen slightly, which is a very dangerous signal, as we expected a slight increase on at least the first day. ”
"Director Liu and the responsible people have also discussed that our design team should bear the main responsibility for the failure of this new version, so at today's regular meeting, everyone can speak freely, talk about the problems of the new version, and talk about improvement suggestions. Li Xin, let's start with you. ”
Li Xin is the main value of the game, and can also be regarded as the second most important designer in the design group, and is Zhou Zhen's right-hand man.
"Well, this, from a numerical point of view, the reaction of players to the new mecha this time is very flat, everyone's desire to buy is not strong, and there may be some problems with the new version of the new mecha as a core function......"
After Li Xin finished speaking, Zhou Zhen looked at the system designer sitting next to Li Xin.
"Well, I think our operations are too picky? The new version of the landing package only gives 10 yuan worth of things, which is a bit too little......"
Several key members expressed their views one by one.
Liu Yuxin listened to these people's speeches, and his face was still ugly.
Everyone's saying is not wrong, but it is useless. This is the icing on the cake and will not turn things around.
And some people just ask the question, how to solve it? They themselves don't know.
Liu Yuxin, the project director, came from the main designer, and he knew better than most of the people present about the current problems of the project, but he was not in the same way.
If Liu Yuxin had a way, he would have arranged for others to do it a long time ago, so why bother to have another meeting to brainstorm.
didn't get an answer that made his eyes shine, Liu Yuxin felt a little disappointed.
At this time, Liu Yuxin found that Zhong Ming, who was sitting at the door, had not spoken.
In fact, Zhou Zhen didn't plan to let Zhong Ming speak, after all, he has only been here for a few days, and he is not very familiar with the situation of the game, so it is likely that he will not be able to say anything and make jokes.
But Liu Yuxin didn't think so, he looked at Zhong Ming: "Xiao Zhong, you can also tell me what you think." Didn't you try to plan for the next version? How's the progress? ”
Xiong Kai hurriedly said: "Oh, Director Liu, the version plan is Zhong Ming's work plan for this week and next week, and now he should just be familiar with the game, so he hasn't started to do it......"
He looked at Zhong Ming again: "That, I haven't found a chance to tell you before, although there are no hard and fast rules for our project, we still have to work overtime, especially when there are more work tasks, you were not there for the project yesterday, it's a little inappropriate......
"We'll talk about that later." Liu Yuxin waved his hand, also a little disappointed: "Since the time is too short and I haven't been able to make a version plan, then you can just talk about your thoughts." ”
Liu Yuxin had heard Xiong Kai say before, Zhong Ming always got off work at the end of the day, and he was a newcomer, so he didn't have much hope, he just wanted to listen to it casually.
It's not like you can't say anything, right?
Everyone looked at Zhong Ming, thinking that this newcomer was really miserable, and he had encountered this kind of thing within two days of coming......
Looking at Xiong Kai's appearance, he obviously has an opinion on Zhong Ming, but on this occasion, no one can speak for Zhong Ming, after all, he has always been the first to get off work in the project, which is not a particularly glorious thing in the eyes of many people.
Everyone waited for the bell to strike.
"I think the main problem right now is that players have lost the freshness of the gameplay of the game itself, and it is difficult to maintain the number of old players without the influx of new players." Zhong Ming said unhurriedly.
Xiong Kai was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhong Ming to really get to the point.
But Xiong Kai is not worried, because most people know this problem, but how to change it? That's not something you can explain in a few words.
Xiong Kai's idea was to make new mecha and new features, but now it seems that players don't buy it.
"yes, yes." Liu Yuxin nodded, "Then do you have any way?" ”
Zhong Ming said: "Make a new way to play. ”
"Oh? Something new? Liu Yu is new to interest, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
Xiong Kai sneered in his heart, he is really a newcomer, I don't know how thick the sky is!
Something new? Is that what you can do with one mouth? If you can really do it, then what else do you need a system designer to do?
Being responsible for new features alone can only be done by designers who have worked for at least half a year to more than a year, and some big features require one to two years of experience to master.
Like Zhong Ming said, make a new way to save the game? It must be a very complicated way to play, so that the system designer can design it for a week or two, what can Zhong Ming design as a newcomer?
Zhong Ming said unhurriedly: "Actually, the new version plan has been written. ”
Director Liu was pleasantly surprised: "Huh? Already there? Send it and take a look! ”
The others looked at Xiong Kai in unison, and Xiong Kai was instantly stunned.
Just now, Xiong Kai also said that Zhong Ming has not worked overtime and has not done any work, so what is the situation now?
Already have a plan for the new version?
It took Zhong Ming two days to complete the next week's work.
Xiong Kai felt that his face was a little hot, this Zhong Ming, do something!
