Xia Qingyu has already notified the members of the development team through RTX to go directly to the conference room for a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon.

RTX Tenghua is a real-time communication tool for enterprise intranet developed by Tenghua Company, which is extremely popular among enterprises, and Qingyu Network has also chosen this one instead of enterprise QQ. The main difference between the two is that RTX is a communication in a pure intranet environment (Xia Qingyu subjectively does not want her company's trade secrets to be monitored by other companies, although she thinks a little too much...... and, more importantly, cheaper.

At this time, the ten-person development team was already sitting in the conference room, and the three teams of planning, programming, and art were sitting together. Everyone knows about the company's new project director, and Xia Qingyu did not hide Ye Shenxi's identity, and at that time, people who knew a little bit about the industry in the company exploded - the legendary "Eternal" producer, the former boss of Milestone Company Pasca, a legendary character, a big man who is awesome and shining, walks with the wind, and has the aura of the protagonist.

Everyone is surprised why such a big man would come to a western city like Funan, where the IT industry has just emerged, or a small company like Qingyu Network, which has just been founded, but I heard that Mr. Xia is also a rich kid with a mysterious background, so I think he used his family connections?

Wei Cheng was even more confused, the day before yesterday afternoon, Mr. Xia asked him to find a photo of Pasca, indicating that the two didn't know each other at all, why did people come to work directly today......

Regardless of the reason and the hidden reason, the addition of a character like Pasca to the team will undoubtedly greatly enhance the confidence and enthusiasm of the team, and even support the construction of the western region a little, helping the western inland game development level to gradually integrate with the coastal cities.

The door of the conference room opened, and I saw Xia Qingyu leading a tall young man in, and all 10 people subconsciously stood up, and their eyes were all on Ye Shenxi.

Xia Qingyu waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then led Ye Shenxi to sit down in the main seat of the rectangular conference table.

"Let me introduce to you, Ye Shenxi, also known as Pasca, is the producer of the large-scale turn-based MMO game "Eternal", and a senior game producer who has created miracles in the industry."

Xia Qingyu paused, as if to give everyone time to digest, and continued: "I won't say much about the achievements of "Eternal", everyone also knows that it has been ranked in the major game lists all year round, and Ye will join our Qingyu Network in the future as a product director and lead us to develop high-quality game products. ”

Cracking sound...... A round of applause.

Ye Shenxi's eyes swept over the ten people in front of him one by one, and when the applause stopped, he spoke: "Hello everyone, I'm Pasca Ye Shenxi." ”

I am Ye Shenxi, not that my name is Ye Shenxi. This is the confidence of a producer who has been immersed in the industry for a long time, has senior R&D experience, and has developed star-level products that are familiar to the public, and enjoys a good reputation in the industry.

"As you know, Eternity has indeed set some achievements and records, but everyone also knows that in this industry, the tastes of players and the direction of the market are always changing. Can a product that was successful 5 years ago be successful now? The bigger reason why a project like Eternity has been able to maintain consistent results until now is that it pioneered a type of gameplay, and then amassed a sufficient number of core players, while also brewing a good reputation by word of mouth. ”

There was no greeting and foreshadowing, Ye Shenxi went straight to the dry goods.

"Players sometimes don't know what kind of experience they want to have, and all the well-known producers in the industry are just feeling their way across the river. All they can do is put enough effort into market research and then speculate on the changing winds and player tastes, and from this point of view, the success of every game is a gamble. ”

"It's clear to everyone that imitation and micro-innovation in the gaming industry are what most game manufacturers do best, especially newly formed companies and small teams. In the case of unpredictable success or failure, copying, processing, optimization, and improvement based on the gameplay and systems of successful projects in the market is the most likely way to continue success, but they also face the risk of players being seriously homogeneous and disgusted with the gameplay. ”

The audience was a little surprised, so unabashedly talked about the phenomenon of plagiarism in the industry? And from the words of the new director, it seems that he is disgusted with this.

"But in my opinion, it's possible to figure out the player's taste, not 100 percent, but there is a certain chance. The premise is that we need to identify the core audience of our project, accurately depict the user portrait, analyze the age, gender, living habits, and payment habits of this group of users, and use this to complete the development and optimization of our project, so that we can walk out of our own way and create a precedent, which is regarded as the industry standard and imitated by countless other teams across the country. ”

"Some of you have experience in the game industry, and have completed some projects, both in life and death. There are also newcomers who have just been recruited by the school, who have not experienced the project development process, and their understanding of this industry still exists in some external vague impressions. But I hope that there is a certain point that everyone should have a certain awareness, we will not be imitators who pick up people's wisdom, on the contrary, we must be pioneers, pioneers, and objects that are imitated by others but cannot be surpassed. This may seem exaggerated or even exaggerated now, but I hope that everyone will have this awareness. ”

This is Ye Shenxi's opening statement, which shows his core design philosophy. After saying this, he continued to look at the expressions of the team members, some people were unmoved, just as an ordinary leader to take office is a bold statement, a few people look in the eyes, seem to be deep thinking, a few people are full of ambition, at first glance is a newcomer who has just entered the industry.

There are some things that he naturally doesn't require everyone to feel in a few words, but he just breathes first, and he will let them slowly experience it in his future work.

glanced sideways at Xia Qingyu, this girl was picturesque, and she was also looking at herself with a light smile.

Ye Shenxi also smiled and continued: "Today's meeting is mainly to get to know everyone, and then convey to you the direction of our project. ”

"The tentative name of the project is ProjectW, a multiplayer online role-playing browser game."

There was an uproar on the spot.

Browser games? When Xia Qingyu recruited them, he bluntly said that he would develop a turn-based terminal game, but it's only been a week, and even the game type has changed?

Of course, Ye Shenxi knew that the alpacas were galloping in everyone's hearts at this time, so he didn't explain first, so that everyone came back to their senses: "Everyone already knows me, I don't know everyone yet, why don't you introduce yourself one by one?" ”

Wei Cheng, who was the main planner on the left-hand side, stood up first and said: "Mr. Ye, my name is Wei Cheng, and I am the main planner of the team." Previously, he worked in Beijing Weilan and Huangpu Feixiang, and completed the development of 5 terminal games, of which 3 were successfully launched. ”

"When you sit down, you don't have to stand up, you're not so restrained, everyone is a little more casual." Ye Shenxi waved his hand.

Xia Qingyu had already introduced the team to Ye Shenxi yesterday, Wei Cheng was the most satisfied person she had recruited, and he was also an old man in the industry, although there was nothing to say about the works, and he was also contaminated with some bad habits in the circle that liked to blow, but he still had development experience, and he was not even inferior to Ye Shenxi in terms of working time alone.

"Are the three online projects turn-based?" Ye Shenxi asked casually.

"Two turn-based, uh...... are all projects that follow the milestone "Eternity" and Huang Yi's "Dream Qiankun", and there is also an MMORPG, Shengda "Legend of Blood" type, but the results are average. "Wei Cheng was implicitly flattering and showed humility.

Ye Shenxi nodded and motioned for everyone to continue to introduce themselves.

There are a total of 3 people in the planning team, in addition to Wei Cheng, there is also a system planner Li Duo with three years of experience in terminal games, and another rookie executive planner Rao Bin who only has university internship experience.

The number of people in the program group is the largest, a total of 5 people, namely: server master Cheng Hao Yulin, 27 years old, is a slightly convex lower abdomen, slightly bald on the top of the head, and thick glasses. The server master Cheng Qiyong is also 27 years old, and Hao Yulin originally belonged to the same project team of the same company, after the project failed, the boss ran away and the company was dissolved, so the two of them came out to find a job and were taken under Xia Qingyu. The other 3 programs are named Li Gengxu, Xu Xiaodong, and Xiao Qiang, and the 3 are almost the same students, all of whom have more than one year and less than two years of experience.

There are 2 people in the art group, and they are all girls. The 29-year-old mother of the main Mei Cao Ruoruo, a single mother, lives with her parents after her divorce from her ex-husband, and leaves her children in the care of her parents when she is working. Tong Ling, a 22-year-old fresh graduate, graduated from Southwest Academy of Fine Arts, responsible for the original painting design, including but not limited to characters and scenes, is a lip-syncing talent, the youngest little sister in the team, plus a good appearance, lively and cheerful, can be regarded as a team mascot-like existence.

The average age of the team is 26 years old, which is almost the standard age in the game circle, but it is still two years older than Ye Shenxi......

Ye Shenxi looked around, and said unhurriedly: "I know that everyone is doing terminal games, and now it will be a little uncomfortable to suddenly transfer to page games, but in terms of development difficulty, page games are actually far lower than terminal games, so you don't have to worry about the problem of transformation, this is also the direction I decided after discussing with Mr. Xia, we plan to strive to complete our company's first product within half a year, and quickly return funds through this product to expand the company's scale, and support the second and third models, as well as the development of follow-up projects." ”

Another burst of chatter, the R&D cycle is half a year! Is it possible for a new team?

There is no need to convey the reasons about cost and risk to ordinary employees that he said to Xia Qingyu, and Ye Shenxi does not expect them to be able to think about the establishment of a game from the perspective of the company and the market at this stage, which has little to do with it. His expectation for the team is that as long as they can complete their assigned tasks within a time limit and with guaranteed quality.

"I'll be in the ...... Today Wednesday? Well, it will be completed within the working days of this week, and it will be sent directly to you when the time comes. Next, I will assign you the content of the work in the near future. ”

Ye Shenxi turned to Wei Cheng: "Old Wei, I'll call you Old Wei." The next work in terms of planning is to try to be familiar with some of the more mature web game products on the market, and I will make a list of experiences for you after the meeting, focusing on the need to experience the human-computer interaction and operation mode of the page game, as well as the paid experience, which you will lead you to complete. I ask everyone to reach a certain level, try to experience the fun of the web game, to feel how it attracts players, and you need to have a paid experience, and the amount of recharge is arbitrary. ”

Request a paid trial...... Wei Cheng, Li Duo, and Rao Bin said with a black line on their foreheads: "Good ......"

Ye Shenxi continued: "Things related to worldview copywriting can start to prepare, Rao Bin I know that your writing is better, and you also served as the editor of the school newspaper in college, this is your specialty, so the copywriting things will be handed over to you." The worldview is based on a hodgepodge of traditional Chinese myths and stories, and there is no way, in the absence of IP, this is the most player base and the most attractive way to attract customers from the subject matter. I hope to use character creation to drive the plot, so I suggest that you start with the construction of the world map and keep in touch with me at any time. ”

Rao Bin gritted his teeth and hurriedly nodded and took it.

"In terms of art, we needed to decide on the art style of the game as soon as possible. Cao Ruoruo, you and Xiaotong first design two scenes and two character manuscripts, don't be too exquisite, just look at the style. The scenes are an ancient city and a field battle scene, and the characters are a man and a woman, I think about it...... The initial idea is light ink style, semi-realistic, not too Q version, because we are mainly for the adult group. It's best to highlight the antique charm of traditional culture, while maintaining its appeal to younger people. This may be a demanding requirement, and it is not something that can be finalized in a day or two, and it may need to be adjusted and iterated repeatedly, and we will discuss it together in the coming week. ”

Cao Ruoruo and Tong Ling should be in a half-confused state.

"The program may be slightly more troublesome than the other two groups for the transformation, mainly the client foreground, three programmers, I hope you will be familiar with the AS language (ActionScript) as soon as possible, this scripting language is not complicated, I believe you should be able to quickly master the basics, you can first find some alternative resources from the Internet to complete the scene display and character basic movement performance, as for some of the more complex combat and special effects of the implementation of I will find some friends to guide you remotely. The server background is simpler than the terminal game, Hao Yulin's side assigns the task by himself, the web game server is far less complicated than the terminal game, the main thing is to familiarize yourself with the data transmission of the web game, and then build a character server and player data database on the intranet as soon as possible. ”

After the task was explained, everyone looked at each other, including Xia Qingyu.

Xia Qingyu also realized for the first time what is execution in the workplace and the R&D efficiency of domestic first-line manufacturers. She originally dragged on for two weeks and didn't finish it, Ye Shenxi entered the company on the first day, in just the first development team meeting, she had already completed the allocation of the recent work content, so that the whole team could start to run - compared with Ye Shenxi's previous analysis of market prospects and user attributes, this intuitive management thing may have shocked her more, if those theoretical analyses are in her opinion, as a senior practitioner, industry leader, the market should be judged and thought about, and this kind of control of the team and the project is exhaustive, and even makes her subconsciously yearn for it.

Xia Qingyu has been excellent since she was a child, she is undoubtedly the pride of the sky among her peers, from her appearance, from her family background, from her learning mind, even if she has impeccable motor nerves, and Ye Shenxi is only two years older than herself, but she seems to have the calm and sophisticated that she only sees in her father, and the arrogant Xia Qingyu is suddenly a little sad.

Ye Shenxi temporarily stopped speaking, leaving everyone a little time to digest, and everyone in the conference room was speechless, so they ...... I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

The first person to react was Xia Qingyu, she didn't know what to say, but as the boss's consciousness, she knew what to do and should answer by herself, and forcibly recovered her emotions and said: "Very good, so that everyone knows what to do in the next period of time, we are ready to officially start work, I believe that our company will soon be on the right track." ”

Ye Shenxi handed her an encouraging look and said: "Everyone will start to get busy from tomorrow, there is no way, on the premise of ensuring product quality, what we compete is time." If you are online for a month earlier than others for almost two projects, you may be a hit and can make a lot of money, and others can only follow the trend and resign themselves to fate. ”

Xia Qingyu also felt a little more confident when he received Ye Shenxi's eyes: "That's right, this circle is developing rapidly, and there are so many teams and companies established when you don't know it, and there will also be unknown projects that are shut down or suspended or stillborn before they are launched." We can do everything we can to ensure the quality of the project and get it online as soon as possible, provided that the direction has been determined. ”

Ye Shenxi continued: "Half a year to complete this project is our bottom line, I hope you can work hard to advance this time point, in the first-tier cities, those mature teams have a project from development to online testing in 3 months, I don't think the pace of Funan is so much slower than them, and the team in Funan is so much worse than them." ”

After a pause, he changed his tone and said: "Multiplayer online role-playing web games, as far as I know, no one has tried it so far, we are facing a field where there are no competitors, and everyone can imagine such opportunities." Personally, judging by my experience in the industry, I am very confident that our project will become a hit, if you believe my judgment. Whether from my personal point of view or the company's point of view, I hope that everyone will be able to get the dividends of this project at the end of this year, of course, it depends on what Mr. Xia means. ”

Ye Shenxi turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Xia Qingyu, these words were half harsh and half painting, which could be regarded as a combination of grace and power. In the past, when he was at the milestone, these words were not done by him, a person who only focused on research and development, and it turned out that he still had this talent.

Xia Qingyu also smiled and added tacitly: "The life cycle of the web game is shorter than that of the terminal game, but the speed of recovering funds is much faster. For example, Huangpu Shengda's "Joining the World" has reached a maximum of 7 million monthly turnover after its launch this year, but we believe that the ability of web games to attract money is far from being exerted. After ProjectW becomes profitable, the company will expand its product line, and other projects will also need manpower, and I believe that all of you will have the ability to take charge of your own work at that time, and I am very confident in you. ”

Xia Qingyu didn't mind drawing the pie a little bigger.

"When the project is successfully launched, I guarantee that our project team will have a group trip, specifically at home and abroad...... It depends on the performance of the project, but the tour is a must. At the same time, 5% of the project profit will be used as everyone's project dividend, and I also hope that everyone can get this dividend before the year and have a good year. ”

"Wow!" It's the little sister Tong Ling who can't help but whisper, and then look at the young people who are also shining in their eyes, alas, it's still simple. For a few more experienced members, they know the serendipity of the success of this industry, especially Wei Cheng, Hao Yulin and Qi Yong, who have experienced the failure of the North Drift, and even have a kind of excitement about meeting the master and meeting the time. The influence of the name Pasca is huge, and it is better to be famous than to see it at first sight, even if they were in the same circle before, they originally belonged to two worlds, for them, it is difficult to imagine that people like Pasca will not be able to make successful products.

Ye Shenxi sang and quipped by the way: "Mr. Xia has courage, and I am also convinced of the benefits of the Qingyu Network." Now that the company has just been launched, everyone is offering free snacks and a free movie ticket every month, I didn't even think about it when I reached the milestone. ”

Xia Qingyu also pretended to be embarrassed by the way: "Within the limited scope of the company's ability, employee benefits must be guaranteed as much as possible, otherwise how can employees be expected to do their best to complete the work assigned by the company?" ”

Xia Qingyu really thought so in her heart, but when she said it directly on this occasion, she herself still couldn't help but get goosebumps, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Shenxi.

Tsk, what a pair of dog men and women who have been abducted and deceived.

Almost everything that should be said at the meeting was said, Ye Shenxi patted his hand: "There are still many things that need to be communicated about the specific work content, let's communicate slowly after the meeting, and today's meeting is almost here." ”

"Everyone will be ready to work overtime starting tomorrow, but not today, I will invite everyone to have a meal after work, cultivate a tacit understanding, and enhance the relationship."

Another cheer.
