362: Chapter 362: Is It Necessary to Be So Meticulous?

“Sis, has our game planning team been set up yet?”

“Yes, it has been set up.

You don’t realize how many people are involved in game development until you’re in it.

Most of them aren’t used, just doing odd jobs after graduation, but we managed to recruit a bunch easily.”

This is a hot industry, after all, because so many people apply, which results in an overabundance of talent.

“It’s just that these people don’t have much experience, so it might not be good to put them to work directly.”

Zhao Yan felt somewhat regretful, after all, those other big teams were already well-trained, and here they were starting from scratch.

The only advantage was that they weren’t afraid to lose money and could afford to burn cash.

After all, this is just game development, not some other internet industry— if it were, the bit of money left might not have lasted very long.

Zhao Guang nodded, “That’s good, I have some things I want to discuss with them.”

“I’m right here, just ask,” the sister handed the phone to the person next to her.

“Hello, Mr.

Zhao, I’m Wang Kan, one of the planning leaders.

What instructions do you have?”

Good, his voice sounded energetic.

Although he was already starting to learn how to be diplomatic, he hadn’t mastered it completely.

Such a person might lack experience, but they possessed the zeal of youth.

Wait, since when was he not young anymore?

Zhao Guang found it strange.

Never mind that, Zhao Guang directly said, “I heard my game proposal has been planned out, tell me about it.” Zhao Guang didn’t express his own thoughts directly.

Waiting for the other side to explain it bit by bit, Zhao Guang nodded, it seemed they really had put their hearts into it.

However, in terms of technical accumulation, it still wasn’t enough, because they themselves were not very satisfied with this simple game.

“Good, I have a new idea.”

Wang Kan’s heart sank, fearing the boss’s new ideas the most.

Because their ideas might mean that a long period of hard work would be wasted, and many things would have to be started over.

If the boss had too many ideas, their stress would become very high.

Zhao Guang didn’t care what they were thinking and directly said, “In the context of my game, as a newly developed territory, the most crucial thing to consider is security.

So, the first place chosen is near the east, which we’ll name Fla Fortress.”

Zhao Guang shared some new information he’d learned recently as the setting directly.

On the other hand, Wang Kan had already turned on speakerphone, and the people around him were listening and taking notes rapidly.

Even Zhao Yan was recording something on a little notebook.

It must be said, in terms of managing a company, Zhao Yan was much more responsible than Zhao Guang, she truly treated it as a career.

Soon, Zhao Guang had explained all this.

“Did you get all that?

Just add these things for now.”

“Really, do you need to be so detailed?” Zhao Yan’s voice spoke up from the side.

“Of course I need to be—it’s necessary.

If a game isn’t detailed, won’t that crowd of fact-checkers tear us apart?” Zhao Guang was aware of this, having once been part of that community, though not the most argumentative kind.

“You’re not wrong there.

How about you all, any problems?”

“We have no problems, it’s us who didn’t consider things thoroughly enough.”

Wang Kan was speechless for a moment—it was just a game, after all.

While it needed to approximate reality, it wasn’t possible to align perfectly with it.

But if the boss required it, what else could he say?

“Good, didn’t you say yourselves that the game you created was rough?

Let’s start over then.

With your past experience, you should be able to do better this time,” Zhao Guang urged them to start from scratch.

Though Wang Kan felt overwhelmed, what could he really say?

Having work to do was better than having no job at all, and Wang Kan could only comfort himself with this thought.

“No problem, we can definitely do it better this time.”

This was indeed true; while it might not compare to mainstream games in many aspects, it should be no worse than the previous generation of games.

The gameplay was the key element.

“That’s great.

Let’s make the first version of the game free and see how it goes.”

He had initially wanted to go big, but later Zhao Guang felt it might be unrealistic.

After all, whether it was launching the game or developing their own territory, things couldn’t always go exactly as planned.

So, it was better to take it step by step, version by version.

Gradually adjusting, even if it completely mismatched the initial setup, didn’t matter.

He was inspired by a very famous game in the past, whose novel and plotlines didn’t align.

It proves that alignment isn’t crucial, as long as the game is enjoyable.

Thus, with Zhao Guang’s words, the easy days were gone for the whole department.

“Alright, that’s it for now.

I’ll continue to add new settings later.

Once the settings are enriched and you have more experience, then we can start thinking about making bigger games.”

It was just a web game, after all, was it really worth all this fuss?

Although Zhao Yan thought this, she didn’t vocalize it, as that would be too demoralizing for everyone.

Although it was her first time doing this job, Zhao Yan was quite serious about it.

That was her attitude, which didn’t necessarily mean she had to achieve results.

Compared to her previous jobs, this internet thing was too different, entirely a different mindset.

“Don’t hang up yet, there’s something else I need to tell you.”

Zhao Yan took back her own phone, turned off the speaker, and then hurried out of the game planning department.

The others looked at each other, what else could they do but get to work?

After all, from the beginning, they were prepared for this, as even they themselves couldn’t stand the first product they created.

If the boss didn’t ask them to redo it, it really would have been unreasonable.

“Alright, there’s something you need to know—the people at Five Pigs probably already know about it.”

“What thing?

What could be going on with Five Pigs?” Zhao Guang was puzzled.

“They didn’t tell you?

It’s just that after reaching a certain size, they end up dying.”

Oh, it was that issue.

He hadn’t expected it to be discovered so quickly.

Initially, he had sold them only piglets or at most half-grown ones.

Wait, Five Pigs seemed to grow very fast.

If they had used some special induction method or Special Feed, then they might have grown even faster.

Calculating the time, it might not be too far off from when they’d grow fat enough to die.
