Chapter 7 This project is getting cold
Not long after, a carefree, unkempt, young man who looked like he was twenty-seven or eight years old came to Liu Yuxin's office.
"Supervisor Liu, come to me." The young man nodded and said, "The young man nodded and bowed.
Liu Yuxin nodded: "Yes. Let me introduce it. This is the intern who just came to our project, Zhong Ming. This is the world architect of our project, Xiong Kai."
"Hello." Zhong Ming stretched out his hand.
Xiong Kai shook his hand perfunctorily: "Are you the newbie who is very good at painting? Welcome."
Liu Yuxin said: "Xiong Kai, take Zhong Ming to the project and get to know other people. As for work...you should give him some points. He has no experience, so you can take him more."
Xiong Kai nodded: "Okay, Manager Liu, don't worry."
Xiong Kai took Zhong Ming out and introduced the situation of the entire project to Zhong Ming.
"There are program teams over there, and they are all old men. I have to ask them to fulfill our needs. Look at the one wearing a plaid shirt... Forget it, they all wear plaid shirts. I mean the one who is drinking water now, that is the main program. Don't call them technicians, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you when they beat you up."
"There are art groups over there, and they are all old men, but they are a little easier to bully than procedures. My main job is to deal with them, and you should be the same in the future. However, the art groups in our project are a bit short of staff, and several people have been transferred to other groups. I heard that you have good paintings, just right."
"This is the design team, so you can get to the empty seat next to me first. You can get to know other people slowly and get the work I gave to you first..."
"As for other departments, such as finance, human resources, and other project teams, many are on other floors. If you need it, please ask."
Xiong Kai took Zhong Ming and briefly introduced the personnel situation of the project.
Although I have introduced everything I should introduce, Zhong Ming could clearly feel that Xiong Kai's attitude was very perfunctory and without any enthusiasm.
This is a bit painful. Zhong Ming is just an intern now, and there are not many opportunities to receive tasks directly from the main designer, let alone the supervisor Liu Yuxin. Perhaps most of the time in the future, Zhong Ming will mainly deal with Xiong Kai, but this person still has a bad face.
However, after this round, Zhong Ming confirmed something, that is, the situation of this project is indeed not very good.
He had heard of the project "Mecha Age" before. It is a game on a bracelet, and it can also be regarded as a mobile game in this world. It has been on the line for half a year. The data at the beginning was not very good. The monthly turnover was only more than 7 million, and now it is estimated that it is even lower. It is doubtful whether it can reach one million.
After looking at the project team's situation, we confirmed this even more. Several programs are scrambling, and the design team is also playing with bracelets, secretly reading novels, and watching videos. The main designer has no intention of paying attention to it.
The most exaggerated thing is that in the art side, there are only four art left in the entire project, two original artists and two modelers, and the others have been transferred to other projects.
No wonder there is not enough manpower.
Zhong Ming sat down at his work station and turned on the computer. Xiong Kai impatiently guided him to log in to his employee account, download some relevant design documents and game resources on the internal network to the computer, and then download "Mecha Era" on the bracelet to get familiar with the game first.
These design documents and game resources are encrypted and cannot be copied or taken away. Reading and modification must be carried out on your own work computer, and each step of operation has been recorded in detail.
After all, Zhong Ming is just an intern now and has very low authority.
It was the first day I went to work, and Zhong Ming hadn't even played the game "Mecha Age" carefully, so he would definitely not be able to start working immediately.
There was nothing wrong all morning, so Zhong Ming just flipped through the design documents and played the game "Mecha Age".
In fact, Zhong Ming only played for two hours and had a thorough understanding of this game.
The gameplay is actually quite simple, it is to collect mechas and mecha battles. It is a turn-based battle chess game. The paid point is to draw mecha parts and match it with a new mecha lineup.
In all aspects, it is not much different from the mobile games that Zhong Ming played in his previous life. The biggest difference should be the form of expression. The game is represented by holographic images of a bracelet. All mechas are three-dimensional images, and the fighting effect is also very gorgeous.
But it was obvious that the game was quite deserted. Zhong Ming also chose a new area, but after entering, the chat channels were all advertised, and there were not many living people.
It seems that the game is not far from the dog belt, there is no publicity funding, and no fresh blood flows in. As old players collectively escape from the pit, if you are optimistic, the game will soon stop the update of the version, and it is estimated that the server will be closed in another three to five months and will die.
At noon, Xiong Kai took Zhong Ming to the employee cafeteria of Guangyi Interactive Entertainment Building for dinner. Some of the others sneaked out at noon, some brought their own meals, and some of them ate with Xiong Kai and Zhong Ming, but no one talked about the project during the meal.
Obviously everyone has lost interest in this project.
Zhong Ming and the others in the design team also met him, but everyone's attitude towards him was rather average and they were not particularly enthusiastic.
After all, everyone is in a state of scrambling to die. No one knows whether the project will be there three months later. If the project is really cut off, these people will either be transferred to other groups separately or fired. In this state, everyone is too lazy to make new friends.
And Zhong Ming didn't know if it was his own illusion, as if others had no good expressions towards Xiong Kai? He felt that he was very annoying.
In the afternoon, Zhong Ming continued to view the design documents.
The design documents in this world are very different from those in the previous life. They are files in a special format. After the design documents are written according to certain rules, the editor can automatically implement a large part of them, which can greatly reduce the workload of programmers.
So the game production progress in this world is very fast. Mobile games like "Mecha Age" can be released in two weeks.
So if Zhong Ming wants to write documents by himself, he must first learn this special format, otherwise the programmers will definitely not do it for him.
Zhong Ming was looking at the document, and Xiong Kai, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "You are good at painting, right?"
Zhong Ming looked at him: "It's okay, what's wrong?"
Zhong Ming felt something was wrong. Since he met Xiong Kai, Xiong Kai has been talking about the topic of "You are good at painting" intentionally or unintentionally, and has said it at least three times.
Zhong Ming is indeed good at painting, but that doesn’t have to do with his current job?
Xiong Kai said in a natural tone: "I sent you a concept picture, and you can complete the concept picture into the original painting."
Chapter completed!
