Wealthy after rebirth

154 - The feeling of power

"Probably such a game, let me talk about the direction of each position..."

The purpose of Shi Yining's meeting today was not to assign tasks. He just wanted everyone to have a general idea so that they can carry out work in the future.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to issue the task, but that he was busy building the core program before, and didn't write the demand form, so he couldn't issue the task.

According to the normal process, the first step is for the designer or planner to write out a demand list, and then distribute it to the following positions. The original artist starts painting, then the modeler builds the model, and then binds the bones and designs special effects...

Everything is carried out step by step.

But all this work has a big premise!

That is planning to come up with a demand form!

If you don't have a meeting, you don't know. Once you have a meeting, Shi Yining realizes that he has a lot of work to do, and he needs to personally do every link.

Tired must be very tired, but he found that when he was speaking on the podium, the employees in the audience listened intently, full of energy and serious attitude, and this feeling made him very comfortable.

"Probably, this is the feeling of power!"

Shi Yining finally understood why the leaders loved meetings so much when they were working in the past. This feeling was so satisfying!

He knew very well that what he said was not very touching, and the cakes he drew were not very attractive, but under the good salary and strange benefits, every employee was very supportive.

Even though there are only 30 people in the audience, the feeling of everyone nodding at whatever they say is still fascinating.

It takes time to have a good time, Boss Shi began to make a summary.

"I believe everyone already understands the company's ambition. What we want to do is a high-quality game for the world, a phenomenal online game comparable to Dota2, League of Legends, and World of Warcraft!"

"It is a glorious thing for you to participate in the game development. It is definitely the glory of your life to be able to occupy a place in the game's production staff list!"

After Shi Yining finished speaking, he scanned the crowd with a smile on his face, and saw faces with slightly dull expressions.

He wasn't embarrassed at all, and he was even more exaggerated in the past when the leaders painted big cakes for the employees.

clap clap clap...

After waiting for about two or three seconds, under the leadership of Du Zhenhong, everyone thought that they should applaud at this time, put down their notebooks or mobile phones, and clapped their hands vigorously!

Some active employees blushed deliberately to express their excitement!

Act, let's all act together!

Employees think so...

The boss's face must be given no matter what. As for what the boss said, just listen to it, but you must not take it seriously. Anyway, the boss doesn't expect them to take it seriously.

If you take it out and listen to it when you are not passionate about work, and motivate yourself, maybe it will have a negligible effect...

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting. In about two or three days, all employees will be here. At that time, I will hand over the detailed demand list to you. Let's adjourn the meeting!"

With a big wave of his hand, Shi Yining knocked on the folder in front of him. He was the first to walk out of the conference room with great pomp and swagger.

After the meeting, the employees returned to their jobs and finally knew the general direction of game development. Now they had something to do.

Everyone began to collect materials around realistic shooting games to prepare for specific tasks in the future.

Their work is currently relatively easy, and Shi Yining, as the boss, is the busiest at this time.

After the meeting, he returned to the office immediately, glanced at the Unreal Engine 4 icon and sighed.

There is no way to continue writing code happily, the more important thing right now is to write the demand form!

"President Shi, why are you frowning?"

Song Linkai followed Shi Yining and asked puzzledly, with a hint of joke in his tone.

He saw that his best friend's face was not very good after he walked out of the conference room, and there was a cloud of sadness on his face, so he wanted to tease him.

Shi Yining smiled and waved his hands to indicate that it was all right.

"Kaizi, go and arrange the office area of ​​Lawyer Zhang and the others, and ask HR to arrange a staff feedback to see if there is any equipment or software that needs to be purchased. Don't bother me if there is nothing important."

He is not afraid of being interrupted when writing code, because the proficient level of computer language has been engraved into his brain, but he can write the demand form by himself, and the quiet environment can help him recall information.

Song Linkai wrote down Shi Yining's words and left the office. He could see that he might not be able to help Boss Shi's troubles, so he should do his job well.

Shi Yining also hopes that someone can help. Unfortunately, if he wants to achieve his inner requirements, he can only do it himself. If he leaves it to others, it will be difficult to achieve the results he wants.

After all, there are too many obstacles in the communication process.

For example, the game requires armor, three sets of body armor and a bulletproof helmet. The defensive effect increases gradually. It is best to have different styles for each level.

This is Shi Yining's request to the designer.

After hearing the needs of the boss, the designer should enrich the requirements according to the style and type of the game, such as first-level armor and first-level helmets, second-level helmets, third-level...

Maybe the designer made countless descriptions around the images of the three sets of body armor and helmets, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, from left to right, and even the style of the neckline.

All in all, the details are exhaustive, and then I hand it over to the original artist with confidence.

When the original artist gets the detailed requirements, the general situation is ignorant...

Text is always an abstract description, with illusory and vague elements, and the original artist has to carry out specific creations based on these illusory, abstract, and vague languages.

For example, the designer requires that the third-level armor looks particularly hard, has bulletproof steel plates, needs to use camouflage colors, and so on.

But how does this rigidity manifest itself?

How is the bulletproof steel plate placed on the bulletproof vest?Is it landscape or portrait?Inside or outside?Is it a whole piece or small piece splicing?

In what environment should camouflage be used?Plains or forests?Grassland or desert?Snowfield or Gobi?
People's thoughts are not consistent, especially when it comes to aesthetics, which is very subjective.

The original artist draws according to his own understanding, and the difference is huge, and the final product may not be the same in the eyes of the designer.

It is not an exaggeration that Party A endlessly asks Party B to change and change. The time cost of the communication process is very high. If there are many invalid communication, not to mention spending money (salary and software), it is easy to make people collapse!
This is only a reliable situation, outrageous such as those "colorful black" and "colorful white" can make the original artist pick up a pen and poke the plan to death!
Once in a mobile APP development company, there was an out-of-the-ordinary thing. A planner suddenly had a brain hole and asked the programmer to write a screen saver software that could change colors according to the user's mood.

When programmers heard this requirement, their first reaction was, it’s very easy. After the user enters the mood, the software can adjust the color. There is no logical difficulty at all, and even different themes can be changed.

It's a pity that what the plan wants is not the low force effect of changing the color of the input mood, what the plan wants is that the APP can intelligently guess the mood of the mobile phone owner, and then change the color...

The programmer vomited three liters of blood, how could he know the user's mood without any interaction?
It would not be difficult to switch to the era of smart watches, but unfortunately there were no smart watches at that time.

In the end, the programmer could only make an app with a random time-changing screensaver theme and submit it...

Of course, the plan could not be passed, the planning was unrelenting, the programmer went berserk on the spot, and then resigned...

In order to avoid such bizarre incidents in the Sea Monster Game Development Company, and to make efficient use of time, Shi Yining finally decided to write the demand list himself!

He has a unique advantage that everyone else does not have, that is, he knows the prototypes of many items in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which come from something in reality!
For example, the first-level head is a very common motorcycle half helmet, the second-level head is a pasgt helmet, and the third-level head is originally called the Spetsnaz helmet, which is a Russian special helmet. The prototype is the K6 series of bulletproof helmets that are common in Russian special units!

As for the various firearms, it's even easier to say. In reality, they all have their own prototypes. You only need to know the model, and then the original artist will do a little processing to make different skin styles. That's enough.

With real objects as references, original painters will be able to create much more smoothly. Optimization and modification are many times easier than understanding text and creating out of thin air!
