First day at work.

Zhong Ming specially waited at the door of the studio with a large red envelope in his hand.

The first to come is Jiang Wanna, basically followed the bell before and after the feet, to see the bell ringing surprised: "Oh, you came so early today."

“I didn’t come so early, didn’t I come so early?”New Year's red envelopes, smoke one yourself."A red envelope in the bell’s hand was handed forward.

Jiang Wanna was surprised: “Well, what about the red envelopes?”Yes, it can, work hard.Does everyone have it?”

The bell nods: “Yes.”

"Then a boss in this red envelope is not appropriate, or you give me."Jiang Wanna wanted to take all the red envelopes in the bell ringing hands.

"What's wrong with the boss's red envelope, it's the right thing to do with the boss's red envelope?"Or, you take the red envelope and I'll hand it to the others."The bell said.

Jiang Wanna thought, "That's okay, look at it more formally."

She took the red envelope from the bell and stood aside.

Not long after, people came again.It's a new original painting, Shaw.

Seeing someone at the door, Shaw paused.

Zhong Ming picked up the red envelope from Jiang Wanna's side and handed it over: "New Year's red envelopes, start work."

Xiao Mu paused for a moment and hurried to pick it up: “Okay, thank you!”

Pinch the red envelope, the inside is estimated to be three or five hundred dollars, the money is not much, but the first day of work there are red envelopes to take, or let Xiao Mu feel warm in his heart.

Xiao Mu took the red envelope and was ready to go inside.

I saw the connection at the door.

"Cribbed liver map to write code, employees work overtime to be a public servant selfless dedication; recharge krypton gold pumping box, players sell blood to sell kidneys to charity and wealth love without borders."

“Fuck off!”

Suzuki almost laughed, it was too much!

It is also very much in line with the nature of the game company.

Moreover, this word is really beautiful, dragon flying phoenix dance, I do not know who to ask who wrote, which master's handwriting.

Soon, a few minutes later, everyone else arrived, and the red envelopes prepared by the bell were soon finished, and everyone was very happy to introduce each other and get to know each other.

The bell has long been divided into work places, and signs have been placed on each station, and it is possible to enter the seat directly on the number.

Of course, the place is very large, so the existing these people are only part of it, and there is room to continue to expand the staff.

Xiao Mu sat down in his seat and was busy loading software, upgrading the system, and so on.

Computers, are also before the holiday bell asked everyone, according to the needs of the configuration, but the purchase did not open, everyone took it, their own demolition, so this morning, everyone is basically busy with the work environment.

Next to Xiaomu, it is an action art, the nameplate on the station is called Lin Dawei, tall, it seems that it should be a better character to get along with.

"Hello, I'm the original painting, Xiao Mu, just came to this company, and I'll take care of it later."Shawn held out his hand.

Lin Dawei hastened to shake his hand with him: "Lin Dawei, action art."I've just arrived, so let's help each other."

These two people are still relatively easy to become friends, because there is no direct cooperation in their work.

Xiao Mu made the original painting, and then handed it to the modeling after the painting, and then the modeling was handed over to Lin Dawei to do the action.

Without a direct cooperative relationship, the situation of tearing will be very rare, and naturally it will be easier to become a friend...

“Who is our boss, you know no...” Xiao Mu whispered.

Lin Dawei felt very strange: "It's the red envelope, how do you not even know the boss..."

“He?I thought he was the main art...”

Shawn is a bit embarrassed.

Before the interview, he was directly interviewed by the bell, and he also gave him a lot of guidance.Although it is not a particularly detailed guide, a few words have benefited him a lot.

The level is so high, is it the boss?

Not that it is impossible, but the owner of the art is really rare.

Because many fine art cattle, do not mean to understand the game design, come out to be a producer, belong to the line, outside the guidance of the insider, it is easy to smash the game.

Just be the boss, that can't do it, the game design can't participate, then who is this company?Even the boss who can't control the product is basically no sense of existence.

Therefore, many fine art bulls either cooperate with the producers who know the root or do art outsourcing companies themselves.

To be an independent game studio, the first prerequisite is to understand the design.So, like Zhong Ming, who is proficient in fine art, proficient in design, and such a young boss, is indeed too rare.

Lin Dawei said: "I am a fan of the boss, we know him on Weibo, too strong!"I just graduated last year and started my own studio.I did the answer game, did the virtual idol, and then the independent game made three pieces, all became...”

Suzuki: “That sounds a bit silly.”

"Truth, so when I saw the recruitment information, I didn't ask anything, it was too strong."With this boss, it feels like you can lie down and win.”Lin Dawei said.

Xiao Mu nodded, feeling deeply the same.

The young boss feels very unreliable, but if it is a young boss who already has a successful work, it will not feel reliable, but will feel that the future is unlimited!

In the morning, everyone was busy with their own work, registered internal chat accounts, opened intranet permissions, etc. Zhou Sen was busy for half a day, and finally helped everyone to get the permissions done.

The bell ringing did not intend to do those false, like a meeting to beat chicken blood ah, the group broke the ice ah, there is no.

Perhaps because of personal preferences, the ringing is not very fond of these more fictitious things with a sense of ceremony.

Of course, strictly speaking, this kind of ritual is still useful, whether it is to boost morale or to bring employees closer, so many companies are engaged, of course, there is a certain reason.

But Zhong Ming felt that the really reliable employees, can do their due diligence to complete the task, but also to work hard to communicate with others, do not need to break the ice to close the relationship between employees; really reliable company, reliable projects, everyone can do things, do not need to rely on chicken blood, squeeze employees to earn that meager profit.

So Zhong Ming did not do so many false things, just with the new administrative assistant to explain some basic things, such as the work encountered problems should go to which person to go to, reimbursement to find the financial, usually eat where you can go and so on.If the new employee has questions, ask the administrative assistant directly.

Zhong Ming said, the administrative assistant of the little girl is serious records, but also frequently nods, the attitude is quite serious.

The little girl of the administrative assistant is called Miao Zhu, who is very tall and stands, and laughs at two small dimples, which is very good.

Miao Zhu had worked in a large company for a year before, had a certain amount of work experience, and Zhong Ming felt that she was more serious and responsible, so she recruited.

Of course, Zhou Sen's opinion is also more critical, he strongly asked the sister must be recruited, unless it is a better look.

For this ugly face of the appearance association, the bell is deeply disgusting, and heardly criticizes Zhou Sen, and then sends an admission email to Miao Zhu.

On this side of the design team, the new world architect is under pressure.

The new world architect called Fu Xing'an, before doing the plot, and did not have the experience of being a world architect.However, Zhong Ming is more optimistic about his literature, graduated from the literature department of the eight books, wrote several short stories, and the amount of reading is not small.

To deal with Xing'an is of course a good thing, to be a world architect, that is to take a solid step on the way to the main designer, but after all, this is the glimmering studio, there has been a "latent red way" such a brilliant plot work, to deal with Xing'an, of course, Alexander.

As for the numerical designer, called Jia Jia, a graduate of the mathematics department, three years older than Zhong Ming.With the rigor and patience of science students, he especially prefers card games.

These two, after the bell ringing of the left arm of the right arm, a trick liver a trick krypton, oh no, one to do the plot one to do the value.

In addition, there are tests, customer service, human resources, finance, legal affairs, etc., responsible for some other matters of the company.

However, these people do not belong to the research team.

...

In the afternoon, Zhong Ming sent a message in the internal chat group: "In a moment at 3 o'clock, all the members of the research and development team (design, program, art) came to the conference room to meet and touch the design of the new game."

The conference room is your own, when you want to use it, of course, do not need to make an appointment.But what surprised many people was that this rhythm was a little faster!

If in other companies, it may be that new employees will not arrange any particularly important work in the first week of employment, basically learning, step by step, after all, we have just arrived in a new environment, nothing familiar with, the work may not be particularly smooth.

But in the studio, there is clearly no such thing.Normal working hours, as far as possible not to work overtime, must have a high degree of work efficiency.

Soon, people arrived.

On this side of the research team, there are a total of 16 people.

Although they do not know each other well, they know at least the heads of their respective departments.For the first time, everyone was curious.

The bell rang and looked at the people.

Well, people are good.

These are the people he personally recruited, and of course they are very satisfied.

“First of all, everyone is welcome to join the studio.There is not much to say, and there is really nothing to say.Everyone will know for a while that I hate those tedious rituals, I only hope that you can do one thing well, that is, do their own work, as long as you can do it, then wait to lie down to make money."

“I know that everyone is a new and unfamiliar environment, and it takes a while to adapt, including new colleagues, new projects, new ways of working, and so on.It doesn't matter, everyone can slowly adapt at work."

"The atmosphere of our studio is relatively relaxed, in the case of completing their own work, you can play games or chase drama, in front of my face no problem."Of course, the premise is that the work within the division is done well.”

"Almost that being said, let's talk a little bit about the game we're going to develop next."

“I’m going to paint the book.”

There is a projector in the conference room, and the design draft that the bell has already written appears on the projector screen.

Everyone below is confused.

Too much painting?

The name does not see the game.

Zhong Ming said: "It's still an indie game, the content is not complicated, but in general, this is a sandbox game with myth and martial arts elements."

“The sandbox game, everyone knows?”

The bell was afraid that someone would not understand, and asked a special question.

The people below looked at each other, and Jia Jia, Fu Xing'an, and several others all nodded and said, "Understood."

The bell is not to say that it is too contemptuous of this group of people, mainly because everyone's expression is too rigid, so that he is a little wondering, what is everyone's expression?Don't you know the sandbox game?

Many people are in the heart of Tucao, who do not know the sandbox game ah, but did not expect you to do sandbox game ah!

The key is the sandbox game that contains myths and martial arts elements.

Look at the name of the "Taiwu drawing volume", well, this game feels like it has not yet begun to do it, it is half cold...

Not that it can't be done, but this kind of game is not in the minds of independent game studios in most minds.

Sandbox, which means rich content, but also means higher development costs, and even many large companies, such as light wing mutual entertainment, basically dare not touch this type of game.

Lightwing mutual entertainment invested a lot of manpower and financial resources, developed a year-long game "Freaking the Sword", is not a sandbox game, but a more traditional mmorpg.

Why?

Because the risk is too high!

Sandbox game to make, either is to call and shout, the life of up to a few years, more than ten years; or it is a thin rot, scolded by the dog blood sprinkler, basically not the middle option.

But the former is too little.

Most of the sandbox games, are for the players to depict a very good scene and blueprint, so that the players feel that the game is going to blow, after the line to see, repeat the game content, boring gameplay, all kinds of promised game content instantly become empty checks, to the players caused a huge psychological gap, and then induce the collapse of word of mouth, and the score of the cliff fall.

Have any of the world’s independent game studios ever made a classic sandbox game?

Yes, but very little!

Moreover, if you want to be like the bell, it is even more difficult to integrate the myth and martial arts elements!

Since there is martial arts, it is mostly a traditional Chinese style game, and it is not a simple little project to integrate these cultural elements into the gameplay.

Moreover, it is not necessary to please, it is likely to rack your brains to do a lot of play, the result is not only not to buy, but will scold, what you do!

Of course, everyone's heart is not happy, and they dare not say it on their mouths.

Even on the surface, there is a smile, a "boss, you are right" expression.

On the first day of work, you have to give the boss a face.
