The strongest game production method

"How much hatred do you have with the programmer? Beat him up?"

Meng Ai frowned, leaning against the glass door with the big logo of [EyeMore 爱梦].He took out the electronic cigarette in his pocket, and remembered that this was a meeting room, so he had to put it back.

But his eyes kept wandering around the conference table: "You are submissive to the players, and you hit hard on your colleagues?"

"Old Yu, what's going on? Tell me clearly."

"I admit that I was wrong." Yu Hanguang was tall and thin by nature, and he was half lying on the table at the moment, his T-shirt propped up by two small hills by the butterfly bone.

"But that Wei...Wei Bo, he did it first."

He covered the bruise on his forehead with his right hand, and tapped the five fingers of his left hand on the table in turn, as if he was thinking about something seriously; but his eyes were hiding, and he didn't dare to meet Meng Ai's eyes.

Yu Hanguang is thin, the kind of thin who has eaten for more than [-] years, but has only grown bones but not flesh.His skeleton is slender and his knuckles are distinct, because he has been working with the mouse and keyboard all year round, his fingers are extremely flexible.

——It seems that the beating action is like playing the piano, flowing freely.

Meng Ai saw this set of C major scales in his eyes: "So, you started playing Fight Club?"

"I'm in self-defense." Yu Hanguang didn't hesitate at all.

He knew the importance of killing him with one bite - if he couldn't convince himself of one thing, how would he convince others.

Meng Ai stood up, and said in a deep voice: "I will find out whether it is a legitimate defense, and I will never wrong anyone. But the impact of beating people is too bad for the company. It is time to report. He should apologize and be punished severely."

He stared at Yu Hanguang's side cheek with great interest, paused for a few seconds, and then sang a white face: "I know, the company has a newcomer, it is difficult to communicate, have conflicts, and want to stand up, all are normal phenomena."

"But self-defense is also normal?"

"Yu Hanguang, your employee number is 006, and you have come all the way with Aimeng. You should know the company situation, and you should also know how to do it." The reminder on the phone has rang three times, and Meng Ai said, "I There is still a meeting, let’s withdraw first.”

Meng Ai put down the words and was about to open the door.

Yu Hanguang is so perceptive. When Meng Ai replaced "Old Yu" with "Yu Hanguang", he knew that there was no way to fool around with beating people.

He and Meng Ai are Yizhou University alumni.The School of Management of Yizhou University and the School of Jixin share courses. When he was studying in the School of Management, Yu Hanguang was very familiar with the legend of his boss, "one of the three swordsmen of Xinyuan".

Six years ago, when Yu Hanguang was still in his third year of college, he took a slant and rejected a lot of internship offers from big companies. The civil servants didn't have the heart to prepare. Regardless of parents' nagging and opposition, he got into the Yiyuan next door to Xinyuan with his computer in his arms. Big maker incubator.

It was in this incubator that Meng Ai founded Aimeng Games.

The hard work of starting a business is roughly the same. There is a relationship of liver planning, eating takeaway, and sleeping on a camp bed together, and there is also the blessing of the friendship between seniors and brothers. He and Meng Ai just joked like this, calling each other "Old Yu" and "Old Meng" For five or six years.

In my impression, the number of times Meng Ai called him "Yu Hanguang" is really very few.

"Understood, Boss." He immediately changed his address as soon as he saw it, and forced a smile on his face.

"Also, boss, smoke less. E-cigarettes should also be smoked less, it's not good for your health."

Getting up to send Meng Ai away, Yu Hanguang sat back in the swivel chair, straightened his hair with one hand that was wrinkled when he was carried over just now, and tapped his fingertips with the other hand.

In fact, this subconscious little action is indeed to cover up the panic and guilty conscience:

It was the programmer named Wei Bo who made the first move. It is not an exaggeration to say that self-defense.

But I am really wrong.

Because he changed the code written by others.

Programmers rely on technology for a living, and code is the sword in their hands.No swordsman, after realizing that what he pulled out from the scabbard was a fire stick, could calmly perform the "Broken Sword Stance".

Then it's not called walking around the world with a sword, it's called walking around the world with a humble sword.

Yu Hanguang thinks that he is definitely not a righteous physique. The competition in the game industry is fierce, and there are a lot of people who enter the game.

Count on those who are close to the ink to be red?

nonexistent.

The conference room next door had listened to the lively product teams, but at this moment they continued to hold their own analysis meetings.Amidst the vague clamor of "adding a pop-up window", "how to write a push copy", and "run an A/B try", he only felt a dull pain on his forehead, as if there was a thin thread pulling his temple all the way. Pulled to the Tianling cover suddenly.

The conspiracies, reconciliation speeches, and remedial plans that just came to mind... were all torn apart.

He lowered his head and stared at [Yu Hanguang EM006-Business Group-Market Operation Group] badge on his chest, but inexplicably remembered Wei Bo's contribution to this VR escape room project——

No, it was the code written for him Yu Hanguang.

Different from traditional game companies, Aimeng does not have a "department". It is divided into four major sections: "business group", "product group", "technical group" and "functional group". .

According to Meng Ai, start-up companies run faster than large companies, and removing barriers facilitates flat management and agile development.

In addition to the "group-group" structure, Aimeng has also adopted the project responsibility system since its inception.

A game is a project, and the project manager has blurred the roles of producer, main planner, main program, and even main artist in traditional game companies. To put it bluntly, he is the overall person in charge of the game.

It has only been a few years since VR games flourished, and various companies are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and many job responsibilities are mixed and unclear; therefore, this system is surprisingly successful in the circles everywhere in Bole.

Not only that, but it is better than only racing horses, not horse racing.

The project manager can be any employee of the company. As long as he has an idea and dares to take action, he can show off his talents at the project establishment meeting every four months, show his PPT for defense, and persuade the bosses to spend money on their own games.

Friends and businessmen often joke that Aimeng is indeed from the incubator of Yizhou University, and it makes the game feel like a scientific research.

After the project is successfully approved, the project manager also has a lot of power. For business work such as planning, development and operation of the market, colleagues in the corresponding group can be designated to be responsible for the docking.

In Aimeng, the latter are more like bricks, where they need to be moved.Those who are not in charge of the project, or those who have more energy after joining the group, can rush between the various groups to fulfill the great responsibility of Brick.

As the person in charge of the market operation group, Yu Hanguang is equivalent to the leader of some of them.

"Bricks".

Not long ago, Aimeng took advantage of the summer vacation to launch a VR room escape game.

However, the game industry is turbulent, and major companies are rushing to compete for users at popular time points.Coincidentally, this year, there are a lot of new room games, and the competition is bloody.Before the game Aimeng had time to make a good splash, it sank silently into the red sea of ​​the market.

Staring at the deteriorating data, the project manager was so anxious that the corners of his mouth got blistered, and his hair was about to be bald by himself. He sent thousands of messages to the company's "bricks" every day to discuss countermeasures.

For the game, three points depend on luck and seven points depend on operation, and the remaining [-] points are determined long before it goes online-whether the setting and gameplay have their own unique highlights.

This secret room game is mediocre, so no matter how hard you try, it won't improve.It's like finding a structural problem when building a house. No matter how many bricks there are and how solid the porcelain is, they can't build a beautiful building.

One or two of the companies are smart bricks, and no one is willing to focus on this project that is destined to be confused.In the end, it was Yu Hanguang who stood up and prepared to do a perfunctory online activity to attract new users, which was an explanation to the project manager's increasingly bright head.

The good old man is not in vain, he has a shrewd plan - this game has long been cold, and if there is a mistake, it will be downhill at that time, persuading Meng Ai to shut down the game, which is good for everyone.

Wei Bo, who has just arrived at Aimeng, is the technical matchmaker temporarily brought in by the project manager with poor skills.

Yu Hanguang was delighted when he heard it.

An abandoned child who has just been sold, no matter how careful it is, it is impossible not to make mistakes, and it is simply perfect for this operation.There are still six or seven other projects in the schedule, and there will be a media exchange meeting next month...

The small calculations in his heart made the crackling even louder.

So Wei Bo's code was written "for him, Yu Hanguang".

Unexpectedly, Wei Bo only listened to his needs once, sent a dozen messages back and forth to communicate the details, and then handed in the homework at the speed of light.

Yu Hanguang took many courses of Jixin College when he was in college, so he is no stranger to technology.The marketing manager understands technology, just like a gangster knows martial arts-he gets serious, and even fights with programmers online without blushing or heartbeat.

He carefully read Wei Bo's code.

understood.

Shocked.

Phases are born from the heart, and codes are also born from the heart.Wei Bo's code is written accurately, concisely, and beautifully, and even reveals a sense of arrogance and superiority, like an emperor who is too high to be cold.

Even the annotations are added just right.

"This guy has two brushes..." Yu Hanguang put away his memories, but hesitated in his heart.

but……

But good old people are not really good people.

His code was also changed, and people were called.

There is no turning back when you open the bow, so you just don't do anything and keep driving people away.

Yu Hanguang's fingers finally stopped.

Anyway, if he doesn't make a move, it will be difficult for Wei Bo to stay in Aimeng.

The VR game industry where Aimeng works has suddenly become popular in recent years, hot money and masters have poured in, Aimeng has also acquired several studios and recruited a lot of talents.

Companies have long since moved out of cramped startup incubators.Meng Ai rented an entire floor in the "Future Venture City" in the west of Yizhou City, where the land is very expensive. The decoration facilities are first-class, and snacks and afternoon tea are standard. Friday sharing activities such as "TGIF (1)" are the highlights of the publicity ——It’s not all about satisfying the company’s various gods in terms of soft and hard conditions as much as possible.

In short, the company now has a lot of talents, a lot of all-rounders, and there are also ghosts.

Aimeng's pool of water is very deep.

Games are known as the ninth art, and everyone in the art circle has little respect for them, and the game industry is no exception.Yu Hanguang thought to himself, with Wei Bo's indifferent and arrogant attitude, and his face of "no one is qualified to talk to me", how can he open up the situation in the company?

This kid is like the autumn lotus in Yuhu, a famous scenic spot in Yizhou. After the heat fades, he won't be able to enjoy himself for long.

"Ah-choo!" Wei Bo is now sitting on the sofa in the CTO's office with his elbows on his knees and his palms clasped against the side of his face.

The sudden sneezing added a bit of subtle humor to the originally suffocating atmosphere.

Only one light in the office was turned on, and the light poured down lazily, right between the back of Wei Bo's neck and his wrist.The light played back and forth on the wrist bones, flashing a fine light golden luster, and also cast a soft filter on his sharp-edged features.

With a handsome face, it can be called double output.

Chi Lan sat on the sofa and looked at Wei Bo opposite.

——Handsome without knowing it is indeed the biggest advantage of a man.

She rubbed her swollen ankle, even though Wei Bo was one of the culprits who caused her injury, seeing this face, she couldn't get angry at all.

When Wei Bo and Yu Hanguang shook their fists just now, as the deputy director of the functional group and the person in charge of the administrative personnel group, she bit the bullet and rushed forward to fight.

Unfortunately, the whole person and the seven-centimeter high heels were thrown to the ground on the spot.

Fortunately, because of their own injuries, the two curly cats were able to stop.

While Yu Hanguang was comforted by his colleagues and went to the conference room, Wei Bo first looked at his phone, then found a bottle of Coca-Cola from the refrigerator and stuck it on his cheek. He simply applied ice to the place where he was beaten just now, and walked silently to the CTO office.

Chi Lan's gaze wandered accordingly, and she immediately guessed that he was going to ask the CTO to ask for resignation - this professional sensitivity is still there.

That's right, Yu Hanguang is the veteran of Aimeng. After the accident, many colleagues helped him, and even Mr. Meng, who was busy with everything, came to express his condolences.And the person in front of him has no connections, no resources, and a cold personality; his immediate boss, CTO Qin Haotian, is a buddhist master who "keeps his ears out of the window and only fixes sage bugs".

After making such a big fuss, Wei Bo will continue to live in Aimeng in the future. There are probably only two options:

Either rely on face, or rely on shamelessness.

"It's even more difficult." Chi Lan's heart-wrenching sigh was interrupted by the notification tone of her mobile phone.

She took out her mobile phone to receive the message, then took a long, deep breath, and limped to the CTO's office.

Because the information just now came from Meng Ai: [Find out the matter and keep people. 】

The office was unusually quiet, and Qin Haotian, a big Buddha who didn't worry about it, had gone somewhere to play games for a long time.So she simply explained the reason for the communication to Wei Bo, and asked about the process and the reason for doing it.

After hearing Wei Bo's description, she couldn't believe that Yu Hanguang would change his code.

It's more than childish, not enough insidious - no matter how much Yu Hanguang hates the other party, he wouldn't resort to such a stupid trick of giving others a handle!

……

"I have roughly understood it. Of course, we also need to verify."

Chi Lan smiled and broke the sense of humor created by the sneezing just now: "Don't worry, if Yu Hanguang really changed your code, he will be punished accordingly. Aimeng never favors anyone."

She showed her heart-to-heart skills, and said softly: "To be honest, I was afraid that you came to resign just now. Wei Bo, I have seen your resume. You are excellent, and you are the person Aimeng needs now. Companies and talents should achieve each other."

"Last month, two product managers from a company in the building next door got into a fight. Later, they failed and went to the hospital. It's all for work... and it's normal. So, I don't want the beating to come to an end. You bring psychological shadows."

She took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Actually, in many things, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

Weibo's eyelashes flickered.

Seeing that the work was about to be done, Chi Lan was secretly happy, and felt that her ankle didn't hurt so much anymore.

She propped herself on the edge of the sofa, got up with difficulty and moved towards the door: "Yu Hanguang has a more... um... more unrestrained personality. In short, don't take it to heart. Then I'll go to the next door to see him, after all, he was also injured."

"If you have any questions or requests, feel free to contact me. Just use IM (2). I added you as a friend, remember to pass the verification." Chi Lan waved her phone with a smile.

"Director Chi, the problem has not been resolved. I want to communicate with Yu Hanguang face to face."

Wei Bo's voice came slowly from behind.

The voice was calm, without any emotion.

Chi Lan's injured foot suddenly softened and she staggered.
