Cannon Fodder Genius Game Producer

On Monday morning, Pei Shu took the sugar-coated cannonballs that Li Chuyue packed for him... Oh no, it was steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk for a walk to the studio.

After the recruitment work in full swing during this period, the current staff of No Lost Studio has expanded to nearly 30 people.

Among them are people like Feng Chenchu ​​who have already arrived at the post, and there are also people who have temporarily confirmed their intention to take up the job but are still going through the resignation process at the original company.

在这一轮的人员扩充中，原本只有1个项目经理两个策划1个程序的微型工作室，变成了有人事行政专员、7名策划、3名文案、6名程序员、4名美术、2名运营专员、2名项目管理专员的一个五脏俱全的小型游戏公司了。

When there were only 4 people before, there was actually no clear commute time in the Bulo studio. Usually, as long as the work is over and there is nothing to do, the commute time is completely free.

But after the number of people reaches a certain scale, of course, the free schedule in the past can no longer be applied.

The newly recruited HR and administrative commissioner is very professional. After entering the job, he drafted the studio's personnel and administrative regulations for Pei Shu's review. Enabled this week.

But it’s a regulation. After all, it’s a game company. Pei Shu didn’t want it to be too rigid, so he asked his assistant to set flexible commuting hours. The allowed working hours are from 9:10 am to [-]:[-] am. Times also vary.

It was around 8 o'clock in the morning, and many of the more than ten members who had officially joined the studio had already arrived at the studio—the large flat floor prepared by Li Chuyue for the Bulo studio could theoretically accommodate 200 people at the same time Office, so even if more than a dozen employees have arrived at this moment, the whole space is still very loose and comfortable.

When Pei Shu arrived at the studio with breakfast in a paper bag, many people in the studio greeted him.

After he responded with a smile one by one, Pei Shu returned to his work station, and received a huge blank stare from Lao Wang.

On the studio's internal communication software, Wang Fei threw him a gif of rolling eyes.

Pei Shu: [^^? 】

Wang Fei: 【... In the past, there were only 4 people in the studio, but now there are more people, so you should pay attention to your image.Bringing soy milk and fried dough stick buns to the studio early in the morning, is it reasonable? 】

Pei Shu: [Maomao surprised jpg, Lao Wang, we are a game studio, don't be so restrained. 】

Wang Fei: [. 】

Wang Fei: [I think you were like a dog when you first recovered your memory, but now all the tendons of laziness are popping out.You opened the project approval channel in the studio, Qiu Boyu and Feng Chenchu ​​are already preparing their project approval PPT, what about your own new project?no idea? 】

While biting the still hot Li Ji steamed stuffed bun, Pei Shu smiled and replied to Wang Fei: [I have some ideas, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.The time vacancy of amnesia in the previous 8 years has still had a great impact on me. I have some ideas that I am not sure whether they are suitable for the current game market. 】

Pei Shu: [It just so happens that Feng Chenchu's new project combines some of the more classic story gameplay and some of the freshest designs. I plan to follow up with Feng Chenchu's new project and try to think about it at the same time Is my own idea feasible. 】

Wang Fei was silent for a while, this was the first time he heard Pei Shu so frankly admit the impact of 8 years of amnesia on him.

The 8-year vacancy will certainly have an impact!

However, after taking out the proof report at the coffee shop, all Pei Shu's performances seemed to be so easy that even Wang Fei almost forgot that Pei Shu should have the same skills as the current era. and ideological barriers.

Wang Fei couldn't figure out for a while how much hard work and effort Pei Shu had put in behind the scenes in the past six months to be able to lead this studio to develop a game like "One Thought Immortal Demon" with such ease.

……

The two didn't talk for long, when a small commotion broke out not far away.

Immediately afterwards, the commotion spread in the gathering area of ​​the studio members. The area where Pei Shu, Wang Fei, and Jiang Ziye were located was defaulted as the veteran area of ​​the studio, a little distance from the newcomers' workstations. Wang Fei couldn't quite hear what was being said there, but only heard a few words like 'fuck'.

Pei Shu was a little curious, so he simply got up quietly and mingled with the newcomers, eavesdropping on their gossip.

"Damn it, the numerical planning of "Wasteland" is insane? They actually forced one of their five platinums???"

The so-called "Wasteland Five Platinum" refers to the five top elite escapees in the "Wasteland" game. According to the unified certification of the data emperors, among the 5 elite escapees, there are 12 strongest kings, corresponding to the different development directions of the "Wasteland" player fortress.

These five strongest kings are collectively referred to as the five platinum by the players of "Wasteland". In the game "Wasteland", they are the top characters pursued by players with 5 different fortress development directions.

Although the current players have long been accustomed to the setting of "one generation version one generation god" in each game, they also know in their hearts that the five platinum will only be the five platinum of the current game version. When the game information is updated in the follow-up "Wasteland" After the movie, there will probably be new god cards born by then.

But no matter what, it's time for the next generation version!

For gamers, the most taboo thing is to adjust the data at non-important nodes after the value has been determined and updated externally.

I didn't know how many games that were going to be hits when they went online, but because the planner felt that a certain profession was too strong, they made 'fine-tuning', and a chain reaction occurred.

After class A is adjusted, class B is too strong, and class C also needs to be adjusted after class B is adjusted.

After this series of job adjustments, the game is basically over.

In short, it is recognized that the numerical value of the game is not easy to do. Anyone who has worked on the project for a period of time will know that the numerical version is often changed again and again before the game update is officially launched.

In the most popular emoticons in various game companies, there must be a dog value smiling and saying, "How can there be a final version of the value?" '.

The values ​​of many games are often still fine-tuned the day before the update-but this is before the update.

After the actual update, the value is basically stuck in the last version, and unnecessary adjustments will not be made as much as possible.

Feng Chenchu ​​was also among the gossiping crowd, and he was shocked: "Are the people at Jixing Studio stupid? With so many lessons learned from the past, they dare to do another round on "Wasteland"?"

Another new planner whispered: "Probably not the fault of Jixing Studio, haven't you heard? Lin Cheng's current backer is Huanyu's vice president surnamed Lin, and the two don't know what kind of relationship they have. Well, the vice president surnamed Lin stuffed a lot of people into the "Wasteland" project, and then posted various marketing content for "Wasteland" every day to promote it crazily."

"This time "Wasteland" will have this problem. I heard that the vice president surnamed Lin put a numerical plan in "Wasteland" to do the 'tuning'."

As he said that, the new planner turned his head and looked at Feng Chenchu: "Old Feng, do you know a value called Ark? Just like the value of Xingyun Company's "Sword, Flower and Magic", this adjustment is He did it."

Feng Chenchu ​​was shocked when he heard Fang Zhou's name suddenly.

"He went to Huanyu? He also went to the "Wasteland" project team???"

Seeing Feng Chenchu's shocked appearance, the surrounding people knew that there must be melons in it.

Feng Chenchu ​​still kept a shocked expression on his face: "Is Huanyu recruiting people so casually? Don't you do back tunes? There was a small-scale update accident in "Sword, Flower and Magic". There was a problem with the value of the card, and the person responsible for this bug at the time was Fang Zhou.”

Everyone present gasped in a hiss.

There is no such thing as a "minor accident" for an update accident of a big hit like "Sword, Flower and Magic". It is basically an accident that requires the planning team to kneel down with the players to apologize and distribute various compensation items along the way.

Feng Chenchu ​​calmed down for a moment, and then added: "This is an update, and there are still several bugs, which were detected and intercepted internally. So in theory, Fang Zhou didn't resign voluntarily, but should be fired by the project team of."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

The new planner who spoke first was shocked: "Can those who are expelled from the project team also enter Huanyu?"

"Oh, by the way, shouldn't you have a non-competition agreement? Can he go to Huanyu after he comes out of Xingyun???"

Pei Shu eavesdropped on the sidelines for a while. After hearing this question, he thought about it, and complained: "Probably because he was fired, so there is no need for a non-compete agreement. Besides, this kind of killing The numerical planning of the instrument level is really going to be recruited by Huanyu, isn't this a great thing for Xingyun?"

The people present didn't realize that it was Pei Shu who spoke for a while, and they all nodded in agreement, and the person who 'praised' Xing Yun was really too stupid to release such a big killer.

Then it is estimated that Xingyun's people must have deliberately blurred the performance of that Ark in the project when Huanyu changed his tune?

Thinking of this, everyone has figured it out.

But Feng Chenchu ​​looked up at this moment, only to find that the person who just made Xingyun's black-hearted guess was actually Pei Shu.

"Ah...! Don't lose to the teacher!"

After everyone heard this sentence, they finally found out that they were gossiping with their boss just now!Everyone's heart jumped immediately.

But before they apologized, Pei Shu smiled and blinked: "Well, don't pay attention to me, I'm just here to listen to gossip, this kind of real-time latest news in the industry, it's very appropriate for everyone to exchange information!"

The newcomers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what their boss had said, but at this moment someone suddenly said, "Eh? This matter is on the top of the WG hot list, why is there still our "Yi Nian Xian Mo" in it?" matter?"

Everyone immediately turned their eyes:?

The person who discovered this hot topic read the topic in his hand: "The players of "Wasteland" collectively switched to "Yi Nian Xianmo"??? VIP15 players of "Wasteland" posted 80 krypton entries, angrily calling "Wasteland" The update of "destroyed all his plans and the evolution direction of the fortress. The rich player said, "You need me to spend money on the game, but can you respect the efforts of the krypton players? I spent 80 and got it Is it the characters and fortresses that I reached the full level, because of this update, the strength is directly reduced by 10%? Since you think this is the adjustment value balance you need, then goodbye, 80 is my money. Piao, if you don’t respect Krypton, don’t all games respect Krypton?’…”

This 80 heavy krypton player can often be on the list of some regions and servers in the "Wasteland" game, so many "Wasteland" players know him.

After he said these words, he live-streamed "Wasteland" deleted numbers and deleted characters in his WG live broadcast room, and then directly downloaded "One Thought Immortal Demon" on the WG list, and started a journey of krypton gold and magic cultivation path of.

It was also his operation that directly brought a wave of players whose cards had been cut from "Wasteland" to "One Thought Immortal Demon".

Everyone looked at each other blankly—what's going on? "Wasteland" players have switched to "One Thought Immortal Demon"?

Speaking of which, "Wasteland" and "Yi Nian Xian Mo" have been different from each other since the first day of the public beta. Being suppressed at the bottom of the ranking of "One Thought Immortal Demon", no matter how much marketing and promotion is done, it will not be able to turn around.

But because the theme of "Wasteland" is really special and fresh, even if it is dead money, it still attracts a lot of users to go into the pit one after another.

It can be said that there is an absolute wall between "Wasteland" and "One Thought Immortal Demon" in terms of subject matter, and "Wasteland" players usually don't like the theme of "One Thought Immortal Demon".

What Pei Shu said about accepting the fleeing players of "Wasteland" was more or less a joke.

As a result, the numerical planner of "Wasteland" is currently operating like a tiger. Even when heavy krypton players have protested, the official still strongly responds that this is just an ordinary numerical balance adjustment.

……

This coquettish operation forced the heavy krypton player in "Wasteland" and other players who were also affected by the stat reduction directly to "One Thought Immortal Demon".

The original joke about accepting 'fleeing players' actually came true right before my eyes.

Coincidentally, this heavy krypton player did not choose a new server to enter the pit, but chose the server where Lin Shujun was located to enter the pit, and once entered the pit, he declared that he would seize the first magic repair ranking of this server.

Lin Shujun hadn't been online today, but suddenly someone in the WG forum's 'Dog Bi Planner Too Much to Call' group @ him——[Quick, quick!Someone is coming to compete with you for money! 】

All of a sudden, the whole group was filled with messages from @林书俊. After he opened the group and took a look, he was completely dumbfounded.

Lin Shujun blankly sent an emoji of 'an old man on the subway looking at a JPG on his phone'.

What the hell?

Why?Anyone else come to compare with him to spend money? ? ?
