Xiong Kai felt that he was taking this opportunity to perform: "Director Liu, I have added background stories to all mecha and pilots, and if I work overtime in the past two days, it should be completed before the new version is launched, and it should also play a role." ”

Liu Yuxin nodded: "Okay, I hope." ”

Of course, Liu Yuxin knows that these so-called "background stories" are useless, playing games on the bracelet, who will look through the background stories of each mecha? It was a text-only message, and it looked dizzy.

Counting players on paying for these backstories? That's even more fantastical.

However, Xiong Kai, as a world architect, taking the initiative to do these things can be regarded as serious and responsible for his work, and this attitude should be encouraged.

Liu Yuxin suddenly remembered Zhong Ming and asked Xiong Kai: "That new intern, Zhong Ming, how is he doing today?" ”

"Uh...... Today, I took him to familiarize himself with the project and told him a lot of things, but ......" Xiong Kai paused deliberately, "I just feel that he may not have entered the role now, and he left without saying hello after getting off work, maybe this is a common problem of fresh graduates, haha." ”

Xiong Kai ostensibly excused Zhong Ming, but in fact, this "haha" is more fake.

"Oh." Liu Yuxin was a little disappointed, "Maybe the mentality has not been adjusted yet, after all, he has just graduated, and he does not have your dedication to hard work." By the way, he is a very talented person, and his ability should be good, so you can assign him more tasks and exercise. ”

Zhou Zhen nodded: "I didn't ask about this, let's see what work Xiong Kai gives him." Xiong Kai, don't you have a lot of text materials such as background stories for mechas? Why don't you give him some? You don't have to be so tired. ”

Xiong Kai suddenly had an idea.

Leave these relatively simple tasks to Zhong Ming?

Writing a mecha backstory? Drawing a concept art of a mech? Or design a small function?

For Zhong Ming, it's probably not difficult!

Xiong Kai has long noticed that Liu Yuxin attaches great importance to Zhong Ming, and has repeatedly emphasized that he is "talented", combined with today's contact, maybe this Zhong Ming is really talented.

When the time comes, give him the work, and he will finish it very beautifully, isn't it embarrassing for him to be in this situation?

I have long heard that Zhong Ming's interview position is world architect, if he does a better job than himself, how can Xiong Kai mix?

So Xiong Kai had a spin in his head and came up with an idea.

"Director Liu, that's what I think. At present, I have all the work at hand, and this version is basically almost completed, and those that are not completed are also halfway through, and I can't give them out. ”

"Otherwise, I think this Zhong Ming has just graduated from school and is still a newcomer, so he may not have so many mindsets, maybe he has some good ideas. Otherwise, ask him to write a plan for the next version, what do you think? ”

Liu Yuxin was stunned for a moment: "Version planning? This is too difficult for him as a newcomer, right? ”

"It's definitely a little bit difficult, but there's no need to be that demanding." Xiong Kai continued to flicker, "We don't necessarily have to adopt his plan, I just said let him write it first, and after writing it, I will see if there are any good ideas with Zhou Zhen." If you have a good idea, you might be able to put it into the next version of the development plan. ”

Liu Yuxin looked at Zhou Zhen: "What do you think?" ”

Zhou Zhen was a little hesitant: "I still feel that it is a bit too difficult to arrange this kind of work for an intern?" But I think what Xiong Kai said also makes sense, there really is no other job suitable for him now. ”

Liu Yuxin made a decision: "Okay, then give him this job." ”

Xiong Kai is proud, an intern, I can't arrange you?

Version planning is easy to say, but difficult to say.

It's simple, but it's just a table to plan what new features will be made in the next release, and estimate the development time and investment of each feature, which can also be seen as a work plan.

It's hard because it's not something newcomers can do.

The premise of planning the release is to have a very deep understanding of the game, what the game's current flaws are, and what the players need.

Otherwise, you're planning a bunch of useless features, and isn't that adding work to other people?

Version planning, as long as you take it out and show it to other people in the project, everyone can immediately see if there is a problem with what you wrote.

Also, the depth of version planning is not something that can be done in a table, for example, if you want to develop three new features, you have to have a rough idea for all three new features, right? Even some of the more trivial things you have to think about in advance, otherwise when the version plan is taken out, the program or other designers will ask you a word, isn't it a shame?

Liu Yuxin meant, let Zhong Ming try to do version planning, even if it can't be very formal, it doesn't matter, anyway, there is no work that can be assigned to him now, so he should practice his hands.

But Xiong Kai doesn't think so, after the work is arranged, there must be a work summary, there must be results, and when the results are taken out, the version plan is not written fart, Zhong Ming will definitely make jokes in front of everyone.

……

The next morning, Zhong Ming arrived at the company on time.

Xiong Kai next to him hadn't come yet, and he was more than an hour late.

Like many companies, Guangyi Interactive Entertainment has a flexible work system, and you can punch in for 9 hours a day (1 hour of which is used as lunch time), and the excess part is counted as overtime, and overtime pay will be given according to the situation (different regulations for each project).

In fact, Xiong Kai doesn't really have a lot of overtime hours, but he gets off work late at night, and he is still there every time Liu Yuxin leaves, creating an illusion that he has been working hard to work overtime.

Zhong Ming is still looking through the design documents and playing the game "Mecha Era", and he had such a stiff quarrel with Xiong Kai yesterday, anyway, Xiong Kai didn't take the initiative to talk to him, and he didn't plan to deal with Xiong Kai.

As a result, Xiong Kai actually took the initiative to come to him, and his attitude seemed to have eased.

"Zhong Ming, the job you gave you yesterday, you said it didn't belong to your work. Then today's work must be within the scope of your work, yesterday Director Liu told me to let you write the next version of the version plan. ”

Zhong Ming was a little surprised, what is the next version planned?

Version planning is usually written by the main designer!

Zhong Ming knows very well that this version will be launched tomorrow, and the current version plan of this version is written by Xiong Kai and modified by Zhou Zhen, which can be found in the project documents.

How do I write the next version plan? And is it required by Director Liu?

Xiong Kai continued: "Oh, I know this job may be more confusing for you, it's okay, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, just write casually." The main thing is that the development progress of this version is almost complete, and there really is no work left for you. ”

Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

Xiong Kai was very happy: "Okay, then I'll write this into next week's work plan, you can work hard." ”

Zhong Ming ignored him anymore, judging from Xiong Kai's attitude, there must be a pitfall.

Since it is something that Liu Yuxin knows and has written into the work plan, this version plan is definitely not a matter of "writing casually".

But Zhong Ming can't ask for it, it's just a version plan, do you think I can't write it? Sorry, but yes!
