Although the new version has been vigorously promoted by Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai, for others, the new version is equally important.

Why?

Because this new version has consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, the design team, the art team and the program team have been working overtime recently, and everyone has worked hard.

If the new version is successful, the revenue of the project goes up, and everyone can get a bonus, then everyone will be happy; But if the new version is not successful, the project's revenue is still declining, which means that all everyone's efforts are in vain.

Moreover, there is basically no possibility of reuse of the written program, the original drawing of the drawing, and the written design document, which is equivalent to everything being wasted.

So, everyone in the design team didn't look good, and the atmosphere in the program team and the art team was not bad for the time being, but that was just because they didn't know the news yet.

Zhong Ming was still looking through the design documents, as if what was happening in the project had nothing to do with him.

The new version of the matter is enough for Xiong Kai to worry about, so he is not in the mood to bother Zhong Ming anymore, but he has been brushing the data, hoping for a miracle to happen.

When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai were called away, apparently to Liu Yuxin's office.

By this time, the trend of the data has basically become clear, and it seems that there is no turnaround, and there can be no turnaround.

Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai will not necessarily be scolded when they are called, but they will definitely not be praised.

After all, the entire new version is Liu Yuxin's decision, and from the company's perspective, the failure of the new version is the responsibility of Liu Yuxin, the supervisor; But from Liu Yuxin's point of view, this responsibility should be Xiong Kai's.

Probably tomorrow, the new version will have to be told to the rest of the project, and even if they don't, everyone will know about it, and it's impossible to hide it.

These two people went for more than an hour, and they didn't see each other until they got off work, and they probably didn't suffer much criticism.

Zhong Ming still plays his fine tradition, and never stays for a minute more when he gets off work.

On the way back, Zhong Ming opened the official forum of Mecha Era to check players' comments on the new version.

After all, it's a project that's about to get cold, and there aren't many posts on the entire forum, and there are several posts that are active posts from administrators, all of which are still on the first page after two or three weeks.

However, Zhong Ming still found a few player comments, which can basically represent the players' attitude towards the new version.

"I took a look at the login in the morning, and I was looking forward to the new version, but I found out after the launch, so boring! What the hell is this all updated! ”

"It's a good thing to have a new mecha, but it's really Krypton that doesn't move, the guild now has a total of three or five living people, who will I show the new mecha to when I krypton? I said that the design team can use their brains and do an activity like the return of old players to save it? ”

"It really feels like the game is going to get cooler, and it's even more noticeable after the update."

"A new mech backstory? Is this Nima here to be funny? Who wants to read the backstory, the point is that you're still rubbish! ”

"Alas, now that the updated version is all recharge and krypton gold activities, I almost wrote 'I want to make money' on my face. I feel that the design team is out of line, and the current mentality is to run away with the last pen, don't expect it, let's leave the tour as soon as possible. ”

Most of the players' remarks are still relatively restrained, but there is only one atmosphere overall: disappointment!

Players were looking forward to the new version, but after seeing the new version, there was a huge psychological gap, which will further push more players out of the pit.

Moreover, in order to increase income and increase profitability in this new version, the two new features are related to krypton, and the cool new mecha also needs krypton gold, which further stimulates the player's rebellious psychology.

Now that "Mecha Era" has inevitably fallen into a dead loop, the income is not good, and the design team wants to increase the income by joining the krypton gold activity and strive for more resources from the company, but the krypton gold activity further dissuades players, causing the income to fall again......

And once the trend of players collectively retiring from the game appears, it is like an avalanche, and it is difficult to recover it.

Back at home, Zhong Ming made some dinner casually, then opened the hand-drawn tablet and continued to complete the original painting that he was busy with during the day.

In fact, many design ideas are already available now, but they need to be turned into concrete solutions.

……

The next day, Zhong Ming had breakfast at home and arrived at the company on time.

Guangyi Mutual Entertainment has a staff restaurant here, and the price is much cheaper than eating in a restaurant outside, but it is still a bit expensive for Zhong Ming. Therefore, Zhong Ming still cooks two meals in the morning and evening at home, and only eats in the staff cafeteria at noon.

This morning the crowd is very good because it's Friday and there is a regular meeting.

Regular meetings are internal rules of the company, and each company is different, and even different projects are different.

The regular meeting of the "Mecha Era" project in charge of Director Liu is divided into two sessions, from 10 a.m. to 12 o'clock in the morning is the regular meeting of the person in charge, and the responsible people of the design team, program group and art group and the director Liu Yuxin have a meeting, talking about some macro issues; From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., there is a regular meeting of each department, which is held separately, mainly by the head of the department to assign departmental tasks.

Friday's regular meeting is equivalent to summarizing the work of the week, everyone has to submit a work report before the meeting, and then the heads of departments have to make a work plan for the next week, and no one is allowed to be late.

Of course, the regular meeting of the person in charge in the morning was not Zhong Ming, so he continued to be busy with his own affairs. Xiong Kai, as the world architect, is also going to attend the regular meeting of the person in charge, and it just so happens that no one is bothered by the bell, which is very comfortable.

Until lunch, the regular meeting was not over.

Last night and this morning, Zhong Ming almost finished the things to be drawn, and the other contents were almost planned, looked up at the watch, and at 12:10, he just got up and went to the staff restaurant for lunch.

When I came back from lunch, it wasn't until about 1:50 a.m. that the door to the conference room opened, and the people in charge came out.

It can be seen that all of these people are not very good, and it may not be all because of the scolding, but also partly because of starvation.

The regular meeting of the department will be held at 2 o'clock, and these responsible people can only continue to go hungry. People like Xiong Kai who don't like to eat breakfast are even worse, and he feels so hungry that his face is green, but he doesn't dare to say anything, after all, the failure of the new version is counted, and his pot is not small.

The rest of the project knew as soon as the people in charge looked like this, and the new version definitely didn't work out!

In fact, everyone could feel this cool atmosphere from the game and the forum before, but now that the data is out, the last glimmer of hope has been extinguished.

Needless to say, the regular meeting of the person in charge must have turned into a sub-pot meeting, but I don't know what the regular meeting of various departments in the afternoon will become.
