What was it like to realize your career dreams as a teenager?

Isn't it wonderful?

Not really.

Because it's really not a happy thing to treat hobbies as your own work.

I've been working for more than two years, and although I've been employed in the game industry I love, it's really not a cool thing to make games in China.

He is called a game planner, and what he does every day is actually nothing more than matching tables, changing the text, and making the plan on the main plan's PPT specific to the interactive logic of the program docking function, and checking the resource requirements with the art.

Although as a newcomer to the workplace, you should have your own process of accumulating experience.

However, when his plan was rejected again and again because he couldn't make a profit-

When the gameplay design of the game is all focused on how to attract users to Krypton-

When I realized that the main producer was actually just a tool man serving the boss-

Meifang's enthusiasm for the gaming industry is waning day by day.

This kind of life is just a matter of eating by the mouth.

Compared to the original expectation of the ninth art, it is too far away.

So, on a certain fried morning, Mei Fang finally decided to make a change.

He applied to the company to leave the company and politely declined the mastermind's offer of a salary increase.

It's too little to add, haha.

Who to look down on?

Mei Fang's heart now only makes money.

Keep making money, and then save enough money.

Take the money and do indie games.

Indie game of your own.

You can't make a game with your own ideas.

That's when it proves that I'm really not making games.

Well, let's do it......

Mei Fang, who is determined to make an independent game, no longer has a psychological burden, and he submitted his resume to the "kryptonite" mobile game manufacturers that he despised the most.

After a month of competition, Mei Fang chose a major overseas mobile game manufacturer with the best treatment.

This large factory is located in Yangcheng, with a total of thousands of employees, and on the first day of employment, Meifang did not even know the location of the workstation, and the colleagues in the same project team did not have time to communicate, so they had to be pulled to the training room for induction training and corporate culture learning.

Newcomer training like this should be carried out once a month, and then the employees should be able to be put into use directly, and those who cannot be put into use will be eliminated directly.

Most of Yangcheng's game companies are known for their sweatshops, and this operation is a very standard process.

However, although the company in Yangcheng is very sweaty, there is still some humanistic care, such as-

At half past six on Saturday morning, all newcomers are invited to participate in a quality development activity, which is the so-called team building, and those who take leave without special reasons will be treated as unqualified during the probationary period.

Don't think that this is a bad company that takes away from employees' rest time!

This company is usually a big and small week, and it is supposed to work on Saturdays!

So, it's already very conscientious!

Mei Fang set an alarm clock for himself at 5 o'clock, hurriedly got up in the morning to wash, and then took the bus to wait for the bus at the door of the company.

Because the factory has a new project development plan, there are many newcomers who have recently joined the company, but most of them are very young and immature faces, and the school recruits the vast majority of Mei Fang, who has been in the company for two years, is already an old oilman.

Having said that, the right to speak among the newcomers is still controlled by the "big brothers" recruited by the society, and everyone ridicules and praises each other, not necessarily expressing their dissatisfaction with such a team building, but enjoying such a social atmosphere.

Because the company has frequent overtime requirements, the proportion of female employees is not high, and a few beautiful and fashionable girls have become the focus of attention in this team building.

A few talkative girls are surrounded by the stars in the center, while other average-looking girls get together in the corner to chat and talk, trying to make themselves less obtrusive.

Mei Fang was the only one in the group who was alone.

He stood in place and brushed for a long time, and felt a little bored when he saw that the driver and personnel had not come, squinting his eyes and yawning.

Mei Fang looked at his watch, and when he raised his head again, he suddenly met the gaze of a short-haired girl wearing glasses not far away.

The girl's body looks very shapely, and she wears a black and white hooded sweatshirt over it; And at the same time, she is also walking quickly towards her own trend -

Mei Fang subconsciously looked back behind her, and when she looked back again, the girl had already looked away, and a meteor strode past Mei Fang.

……

Yes, delusion?

Mei Fang didn't think much about it, just continued to bow her head and play with her phone.

The company's personnel arrived on the bus one after another with their things, and the young male colleagues took the initiative to help, trying to show their mature charm in front of the personnel ladies.

On the way to the team building site, everyone was talking and laughing in the car, and Mei Fang took this opportunity to close his eyes and start to take a nap.

He couldn't help but think of when he just graduated, he was just as enthusiastic and energetic.

There is a lot of anticipation to become a well-known game producer.

In just two years, he has completely changed.

However, this is not the time to complain about everything......

Well!

Mei Fang looked at the dynamic link he posted some time ago on Penguin.,About online cooperative indie games,He planned and did the program for this project.,Started the basic framework of the work.。

Mei Fang has received countless likes and comments to support, but no one is really interested in Mei Fang's plan.

Indeed, this is the age of expression, and good art design can easily garner a lot of attention.

Without a good art performance to do publicity, trying to attract attention with gameplay creativity alone is a bit like painting a pie, which is a very difficult thing to do.

But where is there such a great art to find?

Now I can only accumulate more contacts in big factories and see if there is a chance to cooperate with anyone in the future......

Everyone has been singing in the first half, and then they began to gradually get tired, and they all lay down on their seats and began to rest.

At this time, Mei Fang had woken up, and he took advantage of this time to post a new news on social platforms, which was about his indie game project yesterday's changelog.

As soon as he clicked post, he heard a "ding dong" sound from the car.

The ding-dong sound seemed to be coming from the next seat.

It was the short-haired girl with glasses just now.

She seemed embarrassed when the phone sounded, so she quickly turned down the volume and lowered her head while holding her phone.

Probably aware of Mei Fang's gaze, he subconsciously glanced at Mei Fang when he lowered his head.

They looked at each other again.

She immediately looked away.

He looked very ashamed.

……

This also made Mei Fang a little embarrassed.

Is it too offensive to stare at her like this?

Likely, it's a little ......

However, with such a shy expression, it seems to have a sense of déjà vu......

Yes.

What was I thinking?

Mei Fang also felt that he had become a little strange.

"Everyone has worked hard along the way! If you want to go to the bathroom, go to the bathroom first, and the others can buy water first. ”

"Hey, that classmate, you don't have to take the bag down, just hold the phone, the next trip will be a little hard......"

"Hey, Sister Song, what you are talking about is not climbing a mountain, is it hahaha?"

"Hahaha, of course it's not a simple mountain climb, we're a game company."

Sister Juan, the HR personnel leader, smiled:

"In addition to the mountain climb, we're going to have four teams, and you've all played racing games, right? We will get points according to the ranking, and the team with the first place will have a mystery prize, otherwise, the last team will be punished! ”

"Oh, it looks like it's fun!"

"As long as you don't have the last place......"

"Sister Juan, remember to send more girls to our red team, I have the strength to run with girls!"

"All the boys on the blue team disagree with their real names!"

"So is the yellow team!"

Regarding the distribution of the team, HR has already arranged it before departure, and after each team determines the team members, one person is selected as the team leader, who is responsible for calling and leading the team to move forward together.

Mei Fang's yellow team is led by a sturdy uncle who looks like he has a hearty smile, and coincidentally, the glasses girl who repeatedly looks at each other today is also assigned to the team with Mei Fang.

She stood with Mei Fang together, and then kept her head down.

The hearty and sturdy uncle calls himself Brother Wen, is an avid fitness enthusiast, and he was also a very enthusiastic person on the bus before, and greeted his teammates enthusiastically as soon as he came up:

"Okay, before we go, let's take turns to introduce ourselves!"

So everyone introduced themselves one after another, some of them were very cute, some of them were humorous, and of course there were many of them as simple as Mei Fang.

"My name is Mei Fang, and I used to do system planning in a company in the imperial capital, so you can call me Ah Fang."

"Hahaha, the name Alfang is interesting, like that...... What a schoolboy on TV is the same! ”

Mei Fang watched everyone echo together, and laughed a few times cooperatively, but the glasses girl on the side didn't say a word.

When it was the girl's turn to speak, she still kept her head down and didn't say a word.

Mei Fang and the girl were relatively close, and at this time they could clearly see that under her big square-framed glasses, there was a very delicate and fair face.

Compared with those girls with exquisite makeup who were watched, she couldn't hide her feeling of water without makeup.

"Ah, what's the matter, sister, you introduced yourself? Are you embarrassed? Or—"

"It's not...... Hmmm—"

The glasses girl was just about to raise her head to explain, and at this time, Sister Juan had already begun to greet everyone.

"The members of the Yellow Team hurry up, everyone is ready to go!"

"Hey, what's the point of rushing after climbing such a long distance up the mountain......"

"You can call me, Xiaoyun."

Only then did the girl shyly accost, "I'm the original character painting, and this is the first time I've joined the job." ”

"Ah, it's a newcomer! No wonder you're so shy. ”

"Girls have to be generous to be cuter! However, if you encounter any difficulties, tell you Brother Wen, Brother Wen will definitely cover you! ”

"Hmmm......"

At this time, Xiuxiu, a member of the team on the side, also followed coquettishly and said, "Brother Wen, Brother Wen, don't be partial, you will cover us when the time comes." ”

"Uh-huh! It's all covered, it's covered! ”

Brother Wen enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of flowers.

Although it is a cool autumn weather, but climbing the mountain has to be said to be a rather physically demanding activity, everyone climbed the stairs and walked for a while, at the beginning there can still talk and laugh, and some girls in the back have gradually unable to keep up with the pace.

Xiuxiu was the first person who offered to say that she didn't want to continue with the team.

"Ah...... Brother Wen, I can't do it, I can't do it, I really can't walk, or you go up first, don't wait for us. ”

"How's that going to work? We are a team, a team, a whole, and we can't leave anyone behind. ”

"But wouldn't it be hard to be the last one?"

"Or ...... Brother Wen carrying you up? ”

"Ah, that's too shameful, I don't want it."

Xiuxiu still maintained a smile and persuaded Brother Wen, "Okay, Brother Wen, you can continue to climb the mountain first, and you have to work hard with me, I will continue to cheer for you later." ”

"Ah...... Okay, okay. ”

It's true, I can't even see that the girl is wearing makeup, it's really a second-class ......

In this way, the members of the team fell out one after another, and by the halfway point, only half of the boys, including Mei Fang, were left, and only Xiaoyun was left with the girls trying to persevere.

Brother Wen was also very concerned about Xiaoyun: "That, Xiaoyun, are you really not hot in a sweatshirt?" If you don't take off your coat, Brother Wen will carry it for you. ”

"No, no...... I'm okay. ”

Xiaoyun is indeed fine.

Although she had been climbing for so long, she was only sweating a little and was not in a state of panting.

When the climb was three-quarters of the way through, even Brother Wen, the leader of the team, couldn't hold on a little anymore.

Such a huge physical consumption is a bit unbearable for a muscular man like him, who is covered in tendons and flesh, not to mention that he had already consumed a lot of physical energy because of moving things and singing before climbing the mountain.

The team also slowly dispersed in the process of climbing the mountain.

Mei Fang has been crawling forward with his head stuffy, although this kind of consumption has always been high-intensity, but he has enough energy to take care of himself, and he wastes his physical strength by not talking to anyone along the way, so he has always been fine.

But in any case, there will still be some wheezing.

Mei Fang was tired of climbing the mountain, and saw a pavilion in front of him, so he sat in the pavilion for a while, drinking water tons and tons.

He drank the mineral water he brought, and when he was looking for a trash can to throw a bottle, he saw Xiaoyun also walk into the pavilion and find a place to sit down.

Except for other tourists and passers-by, the two of them now know each other in the pavilion.

"Yo."

Mei Fang thought that this was the third time that he met his eyes, and he couldn't say goodbye again, so he answered her.

"Hmm."

Mei Fang casually chatted with her and said, "Your physical strength is really good, you can still hold on now." ”

"Hmm...... Usually have a workout ...... Wrong wrong! I should say that I exercise all the time. ”

"It's amazing."

Xiaoyun paused, then clenched the water cup in her hand, at this time she looked at the empty bottle in Mei Fang's hand, and suddenly couldn't help but ask Mei Fang:

"Well, are you thirsty, do you want to drink my water?"

"Huh?"
