She really sounds like she's talking nonsense.
Chuangzhi Cloud View - 14th Floor.
Yu Yue is using the test run game module in the cloud editor to test whether the game can run and whether there are any serious bugs.
The result was quite satisfactory, although the employees Jiang Chuan recruited were all cogs in the machine industry, and they looked like a bunch of mediocre cobblers.
But, as the saying goes, "Three cobblers with their wits combined can outwit a Zhuge Liang."
"Not bad, the basic framework and gameplay have been set up, and it's running quite smoothly."
"Brother Yu, you flatter me. If I had to praise something, I'd say it's the cloud editor launched by the official game platform. It's really made things much more convenient. If it had come out two years earlier, I wouldn't have had to work so much overtime before."
"Indeed, the industry has taken off after the government stepped in to support it, but you can imagine how crazy the capital will be. The gaming industry is already a red ocean, and it's going to get even more heated in the future." Yu Yue felt a sense of dread when he thought about how hot the gaming industry would be in the next few years.
The cloud editor launched by GDR's official game platform reduces the difficulty and cost of game design while greatly improving design efficiency.
With the entry barrier lowered, naturally some people will want to take a look at the emerging trend.
The games currently in trial operation are a good example.
Although the art assets are not yet available, we can temporarily use the skin in the editor to get a general idea.
"Good job. Run it a few more times to make sure there are no bugs before moving on." Yu Yue finished his experiment, stood up, and prepared to return to his workstation.
"Wait, Brother Yu, when will our art assets arrive? I can't wait to see the prototype." The programmer reached out and asked impatiently.
"Soon, I estimate," Yu Yue was saying when his computer beeped with a notification sound.
"Look, didn't you just say 'speak of the devil,' and he appeared?"
When looking for art outsourcing companies, Yu Yue didn't put all his eggs in one basket. Instead, he looked at and compared several companies before finally selecting five for further cooperation.
Today happens to be the day when the basic concept design drafts are completed.
Those who had free time gathered around curiously. When the art requirements were first proposed, everyone discussed and agreed on them, so everyone still had a deep impression of the abstract requirements in the final draft.
I wonder how the other party will handle things freely?
I'm so curious.
Yu Yue was also very much looking forward to it. He sat down and opened the compressed file.
However... it was obvious that the artist from the first company was somewhat disappointing. Yu Yue continued flipping through the pages, and after flipping through three or four more, he still couldn't find a suitable one.
Regarding these abstract concepts, the artists clearly chose a more conservative approach to get closer to them. This is the kind of approach that seasoned professionals prefer, mainly for the sake of stability.
If things are too conservative, it can seem a bit rigid and deliberate.
Even among these artists, some deliberately made awkward touches in their artwork to meet specific requirements.
That's right, too much of a good thing can be bad, and it feels like it could discourage players.
I kept flipping to the last picture of Xingyue Artwork. Maybe it was because of the comparison with the previous works, or maybe it was because this one really hit a nerve with everyone.
Everyone was immediately struck by its brilliance.
"This artist is pretty good, which company are they from?"
"I didn't expect this. She was able to create something so inspired and wonderful with our such abstract requirements. How about we order this one?"
"My God, Brother Yu, how did you find such a treasure?"
It's less of a treasure and more of a win-win situation.
Yu Niannian is a creator by nature, but she had been severely suppressed. Suddenly, someone gave her an outlet to release her emotions, so she naturally performed exceptionally well.
This follows the same approach as the game design at Zhixing Games.
"I think this artist's work meets our requirements quite well, so why don't we just book with them?"
"Yes, I can totally do it!" "Support!"
Everyone's response was very enthusiastic.
If the art resources are in place, the game's completeness will skyrocket.
Which member of the Zhixing Games development team isn't filled with anticipation for this game, to which they've poured their passion and enthusiasm?
Especially recently, President Jiang just issued a notice saying that he had decided to submit this game to the GDR's annual Best New Works competition.
This is like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey.
Now, everyone working at Zhixing Games is in a very saturated state, both mentally and materially. Naturally, the employees' needs have risen to a higher level – they want to gain recognition.
There are employees in the development team who have participated in this competition before, but none of them have won first place or achieved a good ranking.
If you're really doing well at your company...
It's not like they'd quit their job to try their luck at a startup.
However, everyone agrees that joining Zhixing Games is absolutely the best choice in life, without exception.
We must not let President Jiang down.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Chuan, his employees had once again achieved a full boost of morale. This is precisely one of the essential passive skills for Zhixing Games employees – automated motivation.
Tang Yue came in at that moment.
"Good morning, Assistant Song." "Good morning, Assistant Song."
Everyone greeted her, their curious gazes fixed on Tang Yue: "And who is this?"
They all look familiar; who hasn't heard about Bo Hu's scandal? But why come all the way to S City...?
"This is someone I believe everyone recognizes, Tang Yue, who will soon be joining our team." Song Zhiming was also quite adept at surfing the internet.
Everyone present looked at Tang Yue with admiration and praise, as if she were a warrior who had slain an evil dragon.
Tang Yue was a little embarrassed; she felt a pang of nostalgia for her school days, watching the villagers send off the Red Army. She kept greeting everyone, not even noticing the unique interior design of Zhixing Games.
Song Zhiming showed her around the company, and she became familiar with everyone. Then he began to explain some of the unwritten rules of Zhixing Games.
"The floor you just had your interview on is the 16th floor, which is President Jiang's office. Employees are not allowed to enter there without permission at the moment, so please remember that."
Tang Yue nodded blankly, somewhat confused.
"Then, no overtime is allowed. You are not allowed to work outside of working hours. You must not leave the company immediately after the workday ends. Unless there are special circumstances that force you to work overtime, you must apply to Yu Yue, who is your chief planner. Only after the chief planner approves it can you work overtime."
Tang Yue sat there dumbfounded, listening to Song Zhiming, a workplace elite, earnestly telling fantastical stories about the workplace in China.
Such a strange rule...
Are you sure you don't want to discourage employees from voluntarily staying to work overtime, instead of praising them?
It really sounds like nonsense. I'm not sure. Let me listen again.
"Finally, if the workload exceeds your capacity, or if the work makes you feel psychologically stressed, communicate with the lead planner in a timely manner to optimize the work content, and don't try to tough it out."
"Work efficiency and work quality are equally important, but we also cannot ignore the physical and mental health of our employees."
After Song Zhiming finished explaining these three points, he had covered most of the unspoken rules of Zhixing Games.
Tang Yue listened to most of what was said, and her enthusiasm was completely aroused: "Then, what will my job be?" The clear light that a college student should have returned to her eyes, full of expectation.
Song Zhiming thought for a moment: "Go home and get some rest. You've just arrived in S City, so you need to settle yourself in first before you can better focus on your work."
"If you encounter any problems, you can come to me."
My passion to work for this company until I die has doubled. Their humanistic care is truly amazing... I'm moved to tears. Who wouldn't be moved to tears?
A social anxiety-friendly company?
No, this is clearly a human-friendly company, okay?!
"I still have things to take care of. You can rest here for a while, or you can leave now." After entertaining Tang Yue, Song Zhiming had to leave to finish his work.
Tang Yue, however, was not in a hurry to leave.
She sat in the rest area, quietly observing her future colleagues.
After initially welcoming Tang Yue, they quickly got back to work. It's rare to see someone working so diligently, and their efficiency was visibly high.
Everyone's spirits are also very good.
The spirit and energy of an employee are something that can only be felt, not explained. But Tang Yue had never seen any employee at Bohu with such a high level of spirit.
Despite the bottom-ranking elimination system driving them forward, it clearly goes against the employees' wishes; everyone is just pushing forward to survive.
Occasionally, when higher-ups come down to inspect our work, we all put on an act, pretending to love our work and feel like the company is our home.
Tang Yue felt a little envious, but then she realized that she would soon be joining the team, and her envy immediately turned into pride.
Whose company has such dedicated employees?
Which company deducts money from employees' pay for overtime?
Its main selling point is its unconventionality; who wouldn't like a company like that?
Only then did she finally pay attention to her surroundings.
Honestly, this place feels like a filming location for a workplace idol drama—high-end, classy, bright, clean, and beautiful.
The first floor of Chuangzhi Cloud View is very large; it can easily accommodate all the employees of Zhixing Games.
Therefore, during the renovation, this floor, in addition to the luxurious lounge where Tang Yue is currently located, the multi-person conference room, and the high-end reception room, also has a lot of space.
The designer also considered aesthetics when designing.
These empty spaces are for well-maintained money trees, for the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, for... for freedom—
It's strange, who feels free at work?
But Tang Yue just has a sense of freedom.
Bohu has a large number of employees and limited space, with many cubicles. The air circulation is also poor, and to prevent glare from computer screens, the curtains in Bohu's office area are almost always drawn.
So it's definitely not Tang Yue's psychological reason. Every time she enters the office area, she feels like she's not there to work, but to pay respects at her own grave.
The interior is like a pigeon coop where people are crammed together, and with the artificial lighting, it's really suffocating.
Tang Yue had high hopes for her job in S City.
But before that, she did need to deal with her own affairs first, just as Song Zhiming had suggested—for example, getting her former boss arrested.
When I woke up, I realized I hadn't repaid the bonus chapter for the tip, and now I had another bonus chapter for the nutrient solution...
Looking again, there were almost 200 comments.
(Lights a cigarette) (Looks melancholy)
There will be another update later, but I can't guarantee what time it will be, because I don't know either.
