The strongest game production method

"Ice climbing?"

Wei Bo took the coffee cup Yu Hanguang handed him.He doesn't like to drink these, but because it's not easy to refute face, he took a sip.Unexpectedly, the cup contained sugar-free fruit green tea, and the sweet taste made him feel ironic.

He raised his head with the cup in his hand—the person in front of him seemed to have just taken a shower, his skin was steamed and turned pink; the ends of his hair were not completely dry, sticking to his forehead and neck, like ink spread on rice paper .

Yu Hanguang was half-sitting on the conference table, rubbing his long legs on the carpet, showing a kind of suave:

"Yes, I want to make an ice climbing game. The code name is already thought out, it's called Ice."

The phenomenon of plagiarism in the game industry is serious. Aimeng has paid great attention to it since its establishment. In order to avoid external parties, it will take a code name and keep the baby project under strict control.The habit of giving code names has been preserved to this day.

He continued: "It sounds like a minority, but it has a future. What do you think?"

Although the two broke up last night, Yu Hanguang got inspiration from the dream that he and Wei Bo co-existed.

He arrived at the company early, so he deliberately went to the cafe downstairs to make a small contribution to the breakfast of Wei Bo, the noble man in his dream.

"I checked the research report and read the cloud platform forum. So far, only three studios have made rock climbing games, and the results of the games have not been very good. As for ice climbing, the number of similar games on the market is zero. He simply took off the lid of the coffee cup, held the rim of the cup in his mouth, and made a "0" gesture.

"Is this what you said 'promising'?" Wei Bo thought that Yu Hanguang had some shocking opinions when he was dragged into the meeting room early in the morning, but he was shocked before he even said a word.

I checked my eyes, I am an illogical person.

"Without similar games, there is no path for user verification. If it was a few years ago, you could still cross the river by feeling the stones; now—" Wei Bo said, "Eat the first crab, it is possible, but it is not necessary."

"Can you do it?" His tone was flat, as if he was questioning, but also as if he was denying.

Yu Hanguang hurriedly jumped off the table: "Listen to me."

Men are most afraid of two words.

No.

He said seriously: "I checked, and the launch time of these three rock climbing games, the earliest was six years ago, and the latest was three years ago—"

That is to say, no similar products have appeared in the past three years. For players, rock climbing games can be regarded as a truly unpopular genre.

"According to this trend, I originally thought that the acceptance of rock climbing games would be the biggest problem we have to face in the early stage..."

"Isn't it?" Wei Bo threw the empty cup into the trash can, picked up his mobile phone, and clicked on the business website he often visited, preparing to check the report mentioned by Yu Hanguang.

Yu Hanguang followed up and asked: "Market research, user analysis, acceptance... Don't you think that we have been too obsessed with the game itself? I guess you are looking for a report now, and you may go to the forum to see players' thoughts later. .”

"It's right to do this, but I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I live in this mountain."

What Wei Bo was going to do, he had stepped on the pit completely.

Ever since he decided to make a rock climbing game, Yu Hanguang has been paying attention to the news in this regard.He was a little disappointed that he couldn't find any effective content on the Internet for several days in a row. When he was in a daze, he casually entered the word "rock climbing" into the news search engine, wanting to change his mind.

The door to a new world opened.

Yu Hanguang found news of the opening of several rock climbing gyms in Yizhou's local news stream.He found the contact information of the owner of a rock climbing gym, and joined the group of climbing friends at the owner's kind invitation.

He often breaks into player organizations under various names on weekdays, and he is very familiar with the secretive user interviews—he sometimes chats and flirts in the group, sometimes humbly asks for advice, adds friends, apprentices, and distributes red envelopes in one go , the whole group was fired up by him like a vegetable market in full swing.

Quickly figured out the situation of rock climbing, not to mention, he also received unanimous praise from the group of friends, and became the group leader; the boss also had a speculative conversation with him, asking him to come out for a drink together, and even waved him off a few times. A free trial coupon.

After being awakened in the morning, on a whim, he contacted the owner of the rock climbing gym, brought the equipment he hadn't tried, and experienced it to his heart's content.

The uninterrupted skeletal muscle movement caused Yu Hanguang's adrenaline to soar. His T-shirt was already completely soaked, and the sweat on his forehead frequently fell on his thick eyelashes.

For several moments, his eyes were blurred, and it was almost impossible to see the colorful fulcrum on the rock wall.

But his thinking became clearer and clearer.

"Here, look at the rock climbing gym I went to this morning. It's just opened a few days ago, and the courses in the gym have already been booked for next month. I just got in the team because of the boss I approached directly." He pouted. , handed the phone screen to Wei Bo, let him see it by himself.

"Also, this is the friend climbing group I added. There are 356 people in the group. According to the brother [Half City Smoke and Sand] in the group, this is the least and most popular among the climbing friend groups he joined. The inactive one..."

The fingertips of the two accidentally touched when handing over the mobile phone, Wei Bo's heart seemed to have a small electric current passing through it, and a trace of excitement surged in an instant.

He pulled out the paper towel next to the table to wipe his hands, thinking while wiping, the nerve endings in human fingertips may be overdeveloped.

Yu Hanguang didn't notice the flashy details at all, and his fingers continued to move: "It's different today. Although it hasn't reached the level of flying into the homes of ordinary people, rock climbing has indeed become popular. I said rock climbing is a minority, just In terms of absolute quantity, everyone still has a certain understanding of rock climbing.”

Seeing him scrolling through the group chats full of screens, Wei Bo admired him in his heart: he can literally occupy eight hours a day with his own work alone, and he can also spare time to create a sense of presence everywhere.

The flower and butterfly character design is true.

Wei Bo remained calm: "You are talking about rock climbing, but what you want to do is ice climbing."

"This is the second point I want to say, it has a future." Yu Hanguang said.

"Ice climbing is a branch of rock climbing. The two sports are in the same strain. For players, there is no threshold for understanding. For ice climbing, the technical details of recognition mode, gesture control, interaction design, etc. are common; we can refer to the previous game. , At the same time, it can also prevent being questioned and borrowed from the previous work." The more Yu Hanguang said, the more excited he became, his eyebrows raised.

Wei Bo faintly agrees—most of the panoramas of Bingyan are in white tones, and the scene is more simple than Shiyan, which is simpler in design and production.

After all, if they really want to establish a project, they don't have much time left.

"There is also a very important point, timing." Yu Hanguang said, "There will be the Winter Olympics (1) at the beginning of next year. If the game is released smoothly, we can catch up with this hot spot. It would be great."

The last Winter Olympics was held in Jingzhou.He still remembers that four years ago, people all over the country followed the grand occasion of the skiing and skating competition; even the mascot dolls of the Winter Olympics were fired for thousands of dollars.

After that, ice and snow sports have laid a good mass foundation in China.Nowadays, in the Jiangnan area where the winter temperature is almost below zero, when people mention winter sports, people’s first reaction has changed from winter swimming, which sounds like masochistic winter swimming, to playing in the ice and snow field.

Thinking of this, he said: "Once in four years, it's a rare opportunity. I guess not only friends, but also most of Aimeng's internal projects will focus on mass sports games such as skating and skiing. I will fight to the death."

"If the game is not bright, the ending will be as cold as Sun Han's escape room."

Seeing Wei Bo rubbing his fingertips thoughtfully, Yu Hanguang continued: "We take a slanted approach, choose unpopular sports, and avoid being hard-headed. But we took advantage of the opportunity of the Winter Olympics to go up."

"I want to eat crabs, because I can do it." Yu Hanguang raised his head and drank the coffee, the corners of his lips were covered with milk froth.

He is often not confident, but once he becomes confident, he has no limits.

Uncharacteristically, Wei Bo didn't question or deny it; he just remained motionless like a sculpture, his eyes flicked back and forth between his fingers and Yu Hanguang's face silently.

He was a little thirsty, licked his lips, and subconsciously recalled the taste of the cup of fruit tea just now.

Whether Wei Bo accepts the idea of ​​ice climbing games, Yu Hanguang is not sure, but at least he will not object.

OK, steady.

"I never understood, why did you agree to cooperate with me without even asking me what I wanted to do, why?" Yu Hanguang looked at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, "Isn't it 100% trust in my ability and ideas? "

Wei Bo's light brown eyes reflected a self-indulgent face.

He reasoned along Yu Hanguang's logic, and he did not find any mistakes, but he just felt that something was wrong; so he had to pour a pot of cold water first to wake up Yu Hanguang's self-satisfaction: "Until the last moment, the idea cannot be settled. Ask in advance — yes, but not necessary.”

Yu Hanguang: "..."

Wei Bo's words were like a pair of scissors, cutting off his witty words, and all the pride he had just saved fell on the carpet of the meeting room.

After Wei Bo finished speaking, he opened the door of the meeting room, only to be startled by a kind uncle at the door.

The uncle has a well-matched suit with dark patterns, and his face is full of tolerance and generosity unique to this age.He held his glasses with one hand, held the phone slightly away with the other hand, and was squinting to browse the news on the screen.

"Mr. Zhao, why are you free?" Yu Hanguang went around to Wei Bo's side, "This is our new colleague Wei Bo, we just finished our meeting."

Zhao Huifeng put away his mobile phone, and smiled politely at the two of them: "Han Guang, long time no see. I also have a group meeting. I'm in a hurry, so let's go first." After speaking, Bianyi left.

When Yu Hanguang returned to his work station, he saw the cake on the table.I bought it specially for Chi Lan in the morning. She has helped me a lot recently, and it is only natural that I repay her.

He's very talented at this kind of thing.On the one hand, of course, it is due to work. He has been involved in it and has already developed a keen intuition. Communication in the workplace is quite similar to user retention in fact. Appropriate incentives must be given to maintain the relationship.

More importantly, Chi Lan's two shots were closely related to Wei Bo.Chi Lan contributed a lot to being able to cooperate with Wei Bo and push the project to the present.

While working, Yu Hanguang kept an eye on the movements of the HR team.

The meeting of the functional group ended quickly, and the room was full of people. Zhao Huifeng and Chi Lan stayed in the meeting room for a few minutes before going out together with a smile.

"Thanks for the previous information." Yu Hanguang sneaked into Chi Lan's office and slipped the cake box to her desk.

Yu Hanguang is an acquaintance, and Chi Lan doesn't need to do business.At this moment, she was staring at the computer screen with her brows tightly furrowed, her fingers crackling on the keyboard, and when she heard Yu Hanguang's exaggerated compliment, she inadvertently turned her gaze to the side.

A box of Strawberry Melaleuca jumped in front of my eyes, and a red ribbon was tied on top of the box.

Good things in the world are either good-looking or delicious.

Pleasures in the world are either addictive or fattening.

Cakes are perfectly at the intersection of "good things" and "pleasures".

Chi Lan burst into a bright smile, and then shrunk her mouth.

Yu Hanguang guessed that her happy and frustrated look was related to the meeting just now: "Who tripped you up?"

She smoothed off the hair tie on her arm, and neatly tied the shawl curly hair into a ponytail: "I'm working out recently, so I don't dare to eat cake."

Ever since Yu Hanguang and Wei Bo accidentally injured her in a fight last time, Chi Lan realized the importance of revolutionary capital, and went to the gym and boxing gym every three days.She said again: "Where did I go, who dares to trip me up."

But she was still worried: "Boss Meng is right, I haven't done enough. No, I haven't cared about the employees yet, but you, the employee, came to care about me first."

"Mr. Zhao also felt that I was too focused on personnel work and failed to empathize with my colleagues, so I couldn't do a good job of caring for employees." She circled the red ribbon on the cake with a pair of almond eyes.

Although she has the title of director of administrative and human resources, Chi Lan is actually a big housekeeper, covering all functions and tasks.It's just that the current administrative work is not too cumbersome, and Aimeng is in the expansion period, so she puts more energy on recruitment.

"He said I was 'only because I'm in the mountains.'"

As soon as Chi Lan's words came out, Yu Hanguang felt familiar, and just about to open his mouth, he heard her sigh: "One-to-one private chats are unshakable every week, TGIF and birthday parties are held every month, and I even check the menu of overtime meals... Although there are still deficiencies, I have done my duty by asking myself. How can I empathize?"

"Only by jumping out of the mountain can you know the true face of Mount Lu." Yu Hanguang finally understood why the words were familiar, "One idea may not be right: you pay too much attention to the personnel work itself, as long as you remember your HR status, it is not empathy .”

"VR pays attention to immersive experience, you should also immerse yourself and treat yourself as an ordinary employee of the business group. Hey, let me be a guinea pig for a while, I work overtime tonight to set up a project, why don't you watch beside me?"

In the workplace, having a good relationship with HR, no matter how you look at it from any point of view, is beneficial and harmless.

The great opportunity was right in front of him, and Yu Hanguang knew how to do it well, so he couldn't miss it.

Humans are a peculiarly insatiable animal.

It is also "fighting with others", Chi Lan has always felt that the work of the business group can be called "a lot of fun".

Yu Hanguang chats with players every day from poetry to life philosophy, and often has lively online activities, and from time to time he can abuse suppliers and party B.

But what about myself?Externally, she sees internal injuries by looking at weird resumes; internally, she listens to colleagues complaining and hears vomiting blood; just answering all kinds of weird personnel questions on IM every day has consumed all her energy.

Her dinner was the box of strawberry cheesecake, but she felt like she swallowed a big lemon, and she walked with a sour wind.

Chi Lan hugged the computer and sat next to Yu Hanguang.

Yu Hanguang didn't hold back, and continued to move bricks as if no one else was around.He has entered the flow, and at this moment he is jumping back and forth between the two states of being puzzled and enlightened. He first played the scales on the desktop with his fingers excitedly, and then turned on the computer.

Internet people are accustomed to using document notes and mind maps when sorting out their work. This is the "bad writing" of the new era.

Yu Hanguang's bad pen is called "Curtain", which combines two forms of text and mind map.

The curtain paper called [Ice] is densely covered with nodes and words, combined with his weird movements, it looks like a shaman dancing to a great god.

Chi Lan got a headache from being shaken by the shaman.

Afterwards, Yu Hanguang quickly browsed hundreds of pictures of glaciers of different shapes on the screen.Attracted by the white light, Chi Lan probed curiously.

... just because of one more look, snow blindness may make me lose sleep tonight.

Humans are also a particularly contented animal.

After watching for half an hour, Chi Lan felt that the strawberry cake was very good - screening resumes and calling to order overtime meals, it seemed that it was not as cruel as imagined.

Yu Hanguang's work is called abuse.

……

"Why are you here?" Chi Lan heard footsteps and turned to look at the door.

"Why are you here?" Wei Bo at the door blurted out at the same time.

The two looked at each other for a moment, both felt that the existence of the other was an accident at this moment.

"I'm going to do an employee care plan, and I'm here to do 'field research'." Chi Lan joked, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Oh, you're here to work overtime too? You two... are working together Bar!"

Contrary to her expectation, Wei Bo showed a squirming expression rarely.

"It's finally here—"

Behind him, came the voice of a strange girl.
