441 There's a Kind of Magic in This Work (Part I)

You Wantao is an ordinary database developer at Antler Game Development Company, and as an inconspicuous member of the project, he also bears great pressure on the development of the project.

In the past, the delicate face of the school period became a little fat due to long-term sedentary overtime, and the thick black hair became more and more bald.

During this time, because of a lot of overtime, he felt that his body began to become a little weak.

Last night, his wife was angry again at him for ending his happy time too soon, and when she woke up in the morning, she took the opportunity to fight because she saw his hair falling.

He didn't even dare to say that he might have a cold because he had been driven to sleep on the couch in the hall last night.

He would rather go to work than take time off work to look at the roll of his wife's eyes at home.

At this moment, he grabbed the handrail of the subway, smelling the strange smell of the subway, and only felt a little suffocated.

But there was no way, not only did he dare not ask for leave because of family reasons, but he also did not dare to ask for leave from the company.

I don't know how the bosses and game producers who went abroad actually poached a lot of powerful foreigners from the famous 'Goblin Castle Game Development Company' in the industry.

Colleagues are all at their own risk, and they are worried about when they will suddenly be 'optimized'.

A cold is a minor illness, but you can actually cope with the past day's work.

He just felt a little dizzy.

In a trance, the subway finally arrived.

You Wantao touched his forehead, he didn't know if he had a fever, shook his head, twitched his nose that felt a little stuffy, sighed, and walked down the station with the crowd.

Finally, he came to the company step by step.

Check in, come to the workstation to turn on the machine, pick up the cup and prepare to fill the water.

"Huh?"

A clerk with a large number of documents walked in front of him, and he hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way, but he didn't know why he suddenly froze in place.

He blinked, and sniffled hard in some amazement.

It's amazing!

He felt his nose open, and not only that, but he even felt that his breathing was very smooth.

That feeling is better than when I usually don't have a cold, and I have the relaxing pleasure of traveling and climbing to the top of the mountain and breathing fresh air during the holidays.

He touched his forehead, inexplicably hallucinating whether he was mistaken.

- Did he not actually catch a cold?

He looked up in amazement, and the half-partitioned office area was full of bustling sounds, and he felt like he had gone back in time, returning to the school sports meeting in high school.

In the memory of that time, everyone has squandered energy and physical strength, and everyone looks so vibrant.

"I really have a fever and a confused head?"

He muttered, he didn't intend to ask anyone else, and went to get a glass of warm water with a water glass.

Back at work, I looked at the cold medicine I bought from the pharmacy on the road, thought about it, and put it back in my computer bag.

Whether it was a cold or not, while he was feeling energetic now, he decided to finish today's work as soon as possible.

It's amazing that the interface data that used to be chaotic is so clear in my mind now.

He even touched the keyboard with both hands, and he could clearly list the next columns of code in his mind.

There has never been such clarity of thought!

In this way, he was busy until noon, when his colleagues called for dinner, and he broke away from the screen.

It's like there's a kind of magic in going to work!

He actually had a sense of pleasure in this shitty job.

He grabbed the mouse and looked at the content he had completed all morning, and found that he had unconsciously completed all the content of the project he was busy with today.

Even more than a part.

As is customary, he can fish all afternoon, and then go home from work early!

However, he looked at the screen with some dissatisfaction, rubbing his fingers, and some itchy hands felt like he wanted to accomplish more.

What the hell!

After uploading the completed part to the company's server for archiving, he followed his colleagues to the restaurant for dinner, listened to everyone's discussion, and was shocked to find that this situation was not a special case.

It seems that everyone is in exceptional shape.

……

When a person is full of energy, his mind has been running at his peak, and he is tireless in his 8-hour working day, what kind of achievements can he make?

Nobody knows.

It's almost impossible to quantify this in practice, but it's visible to the naked eye that the atmosphere of the whole company has become lively.

It's an amazing thing.

When a group of industry professionals come together at the same time with a high degree of energy, the progress of the project is quietly accelerating.

It's not just about accelerating, it's about the same effect of output across sectors.

If the color of the modeled scene is slightly adjusted, the overall tonality will be very different.

The code is written simply because of a change of mindset, which may save a lot of server resources.

Not to mention the planning department, sound and soundtrack department, operations department, and so on, which require a lot of inspiration.

The result of this is......

The project progress expected by the little boss has come to naught - as many of the past content has been overturned or optimized, more and better suggestions have been put forward and implemented, and there is no way to make the game well in a month's time.

However, the delay in time means that the game may rush from an excellent triple-A work to the level of a 'masterpiece'.

Originally, the only reliance of the game was the wonderful visual experience brought by the spiritual portrait drawn by Lin An, but now with the improvement of other aspects, it has brought about an all-round improvement of this game.

"I must remind you that not counting the next operation of the game, 86 million yuan has been spent so far." The financial director who had followed Lu Tingyu before solemnly found the little boss.

"In terms of the market digestion of the domestic 3A game audience, it is not enough to support such a huge R&D cost."

"The more you invest again, the less likely you are to recoup your costs, let alone make a profit."

Ever since the little boss told her that the game she was developing was not going to be rolled out to foreign markets, she had been trying to get the little boss to change his mind.

The hard-earned money of Boss Lu Tingyu back then is estimated to be consumed by this loser.

"It's really not enough to sell games alone."

The little boss flipped through the file and put it on the table rather indifferently, "Setting set, peripherals, figures, DLC, co-branding, IP authorization, ......"

"We have so many ways to recoup our costs."

"Not to mention ......"

He smiled and spread his hands, "It's okay if you don't make money, I have money!" ”

Yes, he really has money.

The 'Ocean Will School' carved up the gains of the Bird family, and the most worthless thing in it is money.

This is still the chief of the International Federation of Wizards, the old wizard of the Heavenly Snake Star, who needs money more, and the money they can get is also an extremely considerable gain if they give up other more valuable resources.

It is more than enough to support the development of the game for domestic gamers, and the internal version of the Natural Wizard Academy, as well as the subsequent online game version.

The little boss never mentioned to Andy how much a triple-A game would cost him, and he had even mortgaged the villa left by his father.

Andy hadn't thought about it, but he knew it very well.

For foreign triple-A games, the minimum development cost is at the level of 50 million meters, which is converted into the currency of the Dongtu Empire, which is 3-400 million. And that's not even counting the cost of marketing.

Now it is expected that only 100 million yuan will be costed, in addition to the reduction of R&D costs invisibly brought about by the spiritual portrait made by Andy, it is also related to the large number of inherent development assets accumulated by his father with the help of his aunt Dai Li from the Goblin Castle.

It can be said that if this game is messed up, the small boss can sleep directly on the streets.

However, he remained the same as before, just smiling lightly.

"After a while, a foreign 'ghost ship' company will come over to participate in the company's financing plan, and you should prepare in advance."

"Ghost ship?" The CFO was stunned for a moment, unsure if he had ever heard of such a unique investment company.
