Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 79 The project destined to be cold

When he came to the door of the supervisor's office, Zhong Ming knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in."

Zhong Ming pushed the door open and entered, and saw a bald uncle who was almost 50 years old sitting behind the desk directly opposite.

And the thank you is really serious, the hairline has almost receded to the back of the head, leaving only the hair above the ears still stubbornly holding on, forming a perfect Mediterranean.

"Zhong Ming, right? I heard something about you from Mr. Lu. I am the supervisor of our 52 project team, and my name is Xie Jin."

Zhong Ming shook hands with Supervisor Xie, and said to himself, no wonder you have such a tragic battlefield in your head, your name is a bit of a prophecy...

Zhong Ming sat down on the sofa beside him, and glanced at the furnishings in the supervisor's office from the corner of his eye.

Tsk, it's a bit miserable.

The layout of the director's office of Lightwing Interactive Entertainment is similar, but how to arrange the office is the personal preference of the director.

As far as Director Xie's office is concerned, it is much worse than Liu Yuxin's office...

Anyway, Liu Yuxin still put a few pots of green plants, some figures and decorations in the office. Director Xie is good, it's so clean that the whole office looks empty.

It's not that Director Xie likes to be clean, it's obviously that he doesn't have the heart to make those decorations...

Moreover, Zhong Ming also has doubts about Xie Jin's age.

Are you too old?
You are in your fifties, why are you still working as a small director in Light Wing Interactive Entertainment?
Zhong Ming didn't know the specific resume of this Director Xie, but judging from the current situation, this person is probably a director of the Buddhist Department and has no enterprising spirit...

"Little Zhong, Mr. Lu may not have had time to tell you. Let me briefly introduce the specifics of our project."

Director Xie took a sip of tea and began to introduce slowly.

"Our project has no name yet, because it is still in the research and development stage, and the name is yet to be determined. The type is a puzzle game, or more precisely, an educational game. I know you may be a little bit interested in this type of game. Question, if you don’t make so many popular game types, why do you make educational games?”

"That's right. At the beginning of our project, it was actually a cooperation between the company's senior management and an educational institution. At that time, the educational institution promised to contribute funds and arrange for the students of the institution, that is, those children, and of course their parents. You can download it, and you can also be responsible for part of the promotion work. At that time, the company’s senior management had a good discussion with them, so the project was approved.”

"According to the original plan, as long as we achieve a passing score for this educational game, we can recover the cost and make a small profit. As a result, during the research and development process, this educational institution closed down! Even the originally planned investment was only given to When it comes to a part, there is still a final payment that has not been settled, and as for the promotion after the game is finished, don't count on it."

"But because we don't have many people in this project, it won't cause too much burden on the company, and it has been developed for a period of time, so the senior management didn't say to cut it off directly, but decided to wait for the game to be made and go to the game market to see it. Depending on the situation, the game is currently in the final stage of development, and it can be submitted for testing in another week."

Zhong Ming was speechless, how did you manage to say such a foolish thing in such a calm tone?Normal people should have jumped and scolded their mothers long ago when they were so cheated, right? ?

Moreover, this project is simply born to be cool!

App market for educational games?No promotional funds yet?
Hmm... It's a ghost to make money!
In fact, according to the original script, the educational institution was willing to bear the research and development funds, and then be responsible for publicity and promotion. It could indeed make money, but now that educational institution has closed down, the project has become self-financed in an instant...

It's normal to think about it. Isn't it reasonable for such an unreliable educational institution to close down? Isn't it enough to use your own money to make educational games?
Zhong Ming already knew that he would not be able to go to any good project, but such a project as Liangcheng really caught him by surprise.

Submit the test next week, and the project will go online next week. When the online data suddenly dies, you can disband on the spot, okay?
Director Xie still took a sip of tea slowly: "Although the current situation is not optimistic, don't be too desperate. You just need to do your job well, and don't worry too much about other things. By the way, Your current position is a world architect, and you can also participate in the management of some projects, and have permission to view background data. I will ask the chief designer to teach you these things later, and you should be familiar with the work first."

Zhong Ming: "May I take the liberty to ask, where is the original world architect?"

Director Xie replied: "Oh, he has been promoted to be the chief designer."

Zhong Ming felt a little bad: "What about the original chief designer?"

Director Xie still replied slowly: "Oh, he resigned."

Zhong Ming: "...All right."

The main designer has run away, what a hopeless project this must be!

It stands to reason that the chief designer has no reason to resign on the eve of the project's launch, because once the project is launched, no matter whether it is successful or not, it is considered a complete project experience, which can add luster to the chief designer's resume. Zhou couldn't wait any longer, which shows how urgent his desire to resign is...

Of course, the lead designer must have found a better job before he switched jobs, but anyway, the coolness of the project itself was the main reason.

calm down.

In fact, Zhong Ming has already been mentally prepared. He has just joined Light Wing Interactive Entertainment for more than a month. Even if Mr. Lu is promoted, it is already very good to be promoted from an intern to a world architect. , There are not many vacancies in the first place, it would be nice to find a pit, so don't expect any bicycles.

Fortunately, Director Xie seems to be a very talkative person. If he is the director of the Buddhist department, he will have more room to display himself in the future.

Zhong Ming has no requirements for the project supervisor, as long as he is not stingy like Liu Yuxin and keeps giving directions.

The two chatted casually, and Director Xie casually asked Zhong Ming a few things about work and life. He generously said that he could directly contact him if he had any difficulties in the future, and that he could talk to him anytime he encountered any problems in life.

"Tuk tuk." There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

A young man with disheveled hair and slightly unkempt came in. He looked about 26 or [-] years old, and most of all he was wearing a pair of slippers.

Supervisor Xie didn't care at all, probably because he was familiar with this person's image, and introduced to Zhong Ming: "Xiao Zhong, this is the main designer of our project, Zhu Yang. Zhu Yang, this is the newcomer. World Architect, Zhong Ming. In the future, the two of you will inevitably have many opportunities to cooperate, so get closer."
