The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

28. Reorganization (1)

Yoo Tae-yeon begins her full-fledged work as the head of the Live Headquarters!

The rumor that started spreading with Taeyeon’s return to the company made the live team confused.

The places that were most affected by it were the office worker community and the Neple Lounge in the Reed Tree Forest.

-There are a lot of stories about the reorganization of the Neckple Live team. Does anyone know anything?

└ I think it’s because PD Yoo is back at work… … well? PD-nim, whom I experienced, wasn’t someone who would cut people easily… … .

└ The Monster Eater side was like that because they picked and filled in people from the beginning, and this live team has a lot of problems, so there are a lot of stories about it being cleaned up once and for all.

└ But isn’t it true that there are a lot of problems with the live team right now? Right now, I see a lot of people around me who don’t work hard and live in the cafeteria or on the promenade… … .

“It’s hot.”

Assistant Manager Kim Jong-wook, who was drinking coffee at an outside cafe rather than a cafeteria, flinched.

It was because the last comment somehow seemed to be aimed at him.

“Couldn’t it be? I still work hard when I work… … .”

And I tried to continue working on my laptop, but I couldn’t stand it because I was bothered by the article I just read.

‘Shall we go out?’

I want to bring my laptop.

‘omg… … !’

I was taken aback when I checked the face of the cafe customer who had just entered.

“Uh, ah, ah, hello.”

“You’re Kim Jong-wook, right?”

“yes! No, that’s right.”

‘You know me?!’

I’m just a scenario planner for a small game with 2 billion monthly sales and more than 10 years of service… … !

Although it is a job group with only one person, it is not a prominent position in terms of the entire Nexple. I’m not such a flashy person.

Producer Yoo Tae-yeon, who ordered a bottled drink with Kim Jong-wook frozen… … .

“May I sit down?”

“yes? yes Mm, of course!”

sit in front of him

After opening the bottle and taking a sip, Yoo Tae-yeon looks at Assistant Manager Kim Jong-wook with an expressionless face.

“Deputy Manager Kim Jong-wook’s personnel evaluation was quite interesting. I spend more time away from work than I do at the office.”

flinch.

“Communication is very important for scenario planners, but there is a tendency to avoid communication.”

flinch! flinch!

“Hmm.”

Could it be that you came to me?

then… … ?

The heart starts beating rapidly.

‘no way… … Will it be cut off?’

However, what follows subverts expectations.

“Were you working? Let’s see.”

“yes? yes. here… … .”

Yoo Tae-yeon, who was looking at her laptop, smiled.

“Deputy Assistant Manager Kim Jong-wook is someone who originally wrote novels. Or are you still writing?”

“… … !”

white face.

‘Oh, how did you… … .’

It was a secret… … !

The company prohibits concurrent positions.

I’m not a good writer anyway… … Even if I wrote and serialized, I was secretly writing in the name of my family.

‘But this person only looked at my plan and figured it out!’

To Taeyeon, who asks for an answer with her eyes with a confident voice.

“… … Yes, in fact, I am still writing it.”

“What’s the title? Where are you publishing?”

“that… … .”

“I won’t blame you for the problem of concurrent positions. I am just curious.”

“I’m the youngest son of a famous family of violence, and it’s being serialized on Kakao Page… … .”

“Let me read for a moment.”

And a heavy silence began.

After a while.

“There are too many unnecessary explanations.”

“… … !”

“It’s good to try to develop a scenario without missing the probability, but it’s so tied to it that the process of reaching a specific event is boring.”

“omg!”

“It’s good to follow clichés, but it’s a pity that you can’t see your own identity. It seems that the overall composition depends on the result of analysis rather than your own creation or idea… … .”

“… … !”

Deputy Kim Jong-wook couldn’t come to his senses.

editor. And I never thought I would receive the criticism that my close writer colleagues always give me here!

“The problem is that these disadvantages continue even in the game scenario work. It’s a very rare thing. Working on games and novels are completely different fields.”

“… … .”

“What this means is simple. It means that you are working on a game as if you were working on a novel. So, if you look at the character and map settings, you can see too many unnecessary things. Haven’t you ever entered a quest yourself?”

“… … .”

I ask Assistant Manager Kim Jong-wook, who notices, once again.

“You don’t work on the quest table yourself, do you?”

“… … yes.”

Kim Jong-wook is rapidly shrinking.

‘Tsk.’

Taeyeon clicked her tongue inwardly.

A screenwriter who doesn’t work directly with tables.

Isn’t it embarrassing to be called a ‘planner’?

“Who will work with the data tables?”

“Hey, the planning team leader… … .”

“Why is he doing it for you?”

“He told me to focus only on composing the scenario… … .”

“Does Assistant Manager Kim Jong-wook know how to do it?”

“Yeah, to some extent… … .”

“Please be precise. From composing, entering, and testing quests by myself. Do you know how to do everything?”

“That, that’s why I don’t know everything perfectly, but I’m sure the level of correcting the line input… … .”

Assistant manager Kim Jong-wook makes excuses while sweating in a cool cafe.

Taeyeon, who was staring at her, let out a sigh. In an instant, his heart sank as well.

“I had no intention of caring about where or how I worked as long as I did my job well. yes. You just have to do your job well. however… … .”

Looking at the laptop screen again, Taeyeon hits the bone.

“But Assistant Manager Kim Jong-wook is not like that either. Things like work capacity and general understanding are a little disappointing.”

“… … .”

Deputy manager Kim Jong-wook is becoming sullen.

It intuited the future.

‘Ah, I’m here.’

But that wasn’t it.

“Probably because I never really learned about the job.”

“… … yes?”

“Deputy Manager Kim Jong-wook will be able to develop greatly if there is someone who helps him a little.”

“uh… … .”

“I will help you, so are you willing to learn it properly?”

“… … !”

What is this going on?

Kim Jong-wook’s head was discolored.

I thought I would be scolded and asked to leave… … .

“I… … Can I continue to work?”

“Did I ever ask you to leave the company during the conversation?”

“It’s not… … .”

“… … .”

Kim Jong-wook, who was hesitant, asked.

“Pi, is PD-nim dragging me?”

Reading the anticipation on her face, Taeyeon became serious.

“Please do not misunderstand my remarks. I didn’t mean to make a line, but I meant to give feedback on the assistant manager’s work.”

it wasn’t either

It’s a bit disappointing, but where is it?

‘For now, accept… … .’

The moment when many thoughts are about to spring up.

“It should be evident in this update.”

“yes?”

“If there is no improvement in the evaluation of users compared to before in the scenario part… … .”

So, don’t answer with the intention of escaping this moment, but seriously think about it.

“I mean. I hope you fully understand.”

“… … yes.”

Taeyeon finished her drink and stood up.

Kim Jong-wook, who had been blankly watching him leave, languished.

“I don’t know what… … I lived anyway.’

‘You can’t suddenly recommend resignation just because your attendance isn’t good. I can’t even do that.’

Unlike the United States, Korea was a country where it was very difficult to fire regular workers. It was Taeyeon who thought that even if that wasn’t the case, at least one chance should be given.

‘If you still can’t see it getting better… … .’

Stop on your way and look back.

Beyond the transparent cafe entrance.

I see Kim Jong-wook stretched out in his seat.

“At that time, I’ll have to beat it without mercy.”

* * *

Taeyeon interviewed each and every employee who was not particularly well-attended or whose work capacity was excessively low.

After fully explaining the weaknesses and strengths he identified, he suggested feedback.

Most accepted, but… … .

“Because I think I’m doing my job right? What the chief is saying right now seems nothing but condescending remarks!”

“I think you misunderstood me… … Am I not that kind of person? The reason I couldn’t do that much wasn’t because my skills were all there was to it. I just got it right because I asked for it from above!”

On the contrary, there were cases of angry refutation, denial, or even criticism of Taeyeon.

“Are you threatening me right now? When you say something nice, you’re noticing that you should leave the company on your own!”

Director Sohn Young-sang, who was watching, said with concern.

“Is there even a need for that? You could end up getting #MeToo on the Internet again!”

“No one will ever do that.”

“huh? Why are you so confident?”

“It’s like going around the neighborhood talking about the fact that you’ve been marked as a delinquent.”

“aha.”

“And those people say that they are unfair, but in fact, most of them are well aware of their place in the team. You can cause an issue for no reason and get a counterattack. You will want to pass the current situation quietly without any harm, avoiding trouble as much as possible.”

“… … .”

Director Sohn Young-sang, who was looking at him tiredly, asked seriously.

“Did you say you majored in psychiatric medicine in medical school before developing games?”

“I just have a lot of experience dealing with similar people.”

Taeyeon’s guess was only half correct.

-Brothers. I recently had a private interview with producer Yoo Tae-yeon, and I heard something so absurd… …

An employee uploaded a complaint on the reed tree forest app.

The main content was that he was unreasonably devalued in his work and attendance.

-It’s absurd and unfair that I was filmed that way, but people who don’t know what kind of painting are saying this and that about my skills… … You are so amazing! What are you talking about? I don’t know anything about Wonhwa and the atmosphere at our studio, but what the heck… … .

However, the comment response completely destroyed the publisher’s expectations.

-So, after explaining the pros and cons enough, it would be better if only these problems were fixed, so you suggested that we work hard together and get a good evaluation in the next update, right? Isn’t that a very gentle and sweet response?

└ It’s the first time I’ve heard of a boss at work who does that. Usually, after being assigned to an R&D center or an unknown new development team, most of them are ignored until they go out on their own.

└Yoo Tae-yeon, a producer, was a one-man developer in his amateur days, who made good games while doing various things by himself. I know more about the art team’s work than you do.

Rather, isn’t the atmosphere mostly praising and criticizing Taeyeon’s handling?

Embarrassed by this, the publisher hurriedly deleted the post, but the captured copy had already been stuffed and spread to the Internet community.
