The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

20. 1st World Championship (2)

[The event is 2-person group speed hunting.]

[The preliminary round lasts for two days.]

Information about the tournament has begun to unravel.

Although most of them didn’t deviate from the way many users expected.

[Introduction of special rules from the finals]

[Let’s kill a limited number of ‘Guardians’ faster than the opponent to secure a large amount of gold and buy a good buff. After that, if you succeed in attacking the monster faster than the opponent, you win!]

[Beware of debuff obstacles during the match!]

[Add Raid Monster Patterns and Awakening]

[Official update scheduled one month before the competition.]

From the finals, the way the game was played has changed.

This part caught the attention of many users.

-Who saw the announcement of the contest? It is said that special rules will be introduced in the finals. It seems to have introduced the AOS element… … ?

└ According to that rule, a new map will be added. Is it a form of competing to eat buffs on the same map in the beginning and tearing them apart as event maps?

└ Adding patterns and awakenings to debuff obstacles… … I’ve gone through this;

└ I hope it will be updated soon. i want to try it too

In fact, it was a situation where new large-scale content was added. Expectations for the update itself have also grown, even if it is not a specific competition.

one month before the match.

[Monster Eater. Large-scale update announced!]

update has started.

Users could not hide their excitement.

-The size of the update is so large that it seems like there will be an additional check, but… … Special attention this time. Let’s do it right without bugs!

└ From now on, hold your breath until the update is complete. suck… … !

Surprisingly, the update ended at the predicted time.

Many people accessed the content for the championship finals as soon as they logged into the game.

[Land of Heroes]

It was the appearance of content that would create a new sensation in Monster Eater Online.

* * *

Users enjoy playing and the development team fixes bugs.

It was a natural formula in the early days of updates.

‘I thought I’d been tested enough, but… … .’

Nothing is perfect in this world.

It was a maxim that I felt especially when I was making and servicing games.

‘No matter how meticulously you look at it, you’re bound to make mistakes as long as you’re human.’

Feedback pours in.

To counter this, Crying Soft and Neckple Plus. Both companies were operating at full capacity.

Even as it was a simultaneous update around the world, it was not an ordinary task to collect bug reports pouring in from each country.

If you go to work and work as if you are being chased, it’s time to get off work!

Taeyeon, who could not force her to work overtime due to her personality, sometimes let her employees go off work and stayed behind to work.

Those efforts certainly paid off.

– This is more fun than you think. I like it because it has a competitive element and is more influenced by teamwork and control rather than equipment specs.

└ I like the fact that the production team actively accepts user feedback.

└ㅇㅇ Enganhan bugs were fixed the day after the report.

└ It would be great if all games were run like this… … .

As the content received favorable reviews, the number of streamers playing Monster Eater also increased rapidly. Analyze the game, share various strategy methods, and enjoy the battle. Communicate with your audience.

This is far more effective than expensive marketing. Even the number of people who signed up and paid a flat rate to play the land of this hero increased.

Satoshi Takizawa said with an exasperated expression.

-The hero’s reaction to the ground is amazing. I think we need to put more effort into development by increasing the dedicated manpower.

“It should be. This will be the food line for Monster Eater.”

It is not enough to be satisfied here, but we must continue to supplement and develop into more fruitful content.

‘The balance between jobs is especially important. When we launch new characters in the future, we will have to balance them with the hero’s land content in mind.’

It’s hard right now, but if this tournament becomes successful, it will be even harder in the future.

There will be more and more things to be concerned about in the development process.

‘In a way, it’s like I just open the gates of hell and fall out.’

* * *

The best test is for the development team to mix with users and play the game together.

‘This is the strength and weakness of a game developer.’

Because you can make your favorite game boring.

The problem is that it often gets really boring. In fact, most developers often approach it because they like it at first, but later get tired of it and do not play the game other than testing.

In many cases, they even testify against the game itself.

‘There was such a case among my colleagues in the past.’

So far, there seems to be no such case among Nexple Plus employees.

“Let’s have a lunch bet!”

“I think it would be fun to do something like an in-company competition with a prize money… … What do you think, PD?”

Rather, actively generate ideas.

In the first place, it was thanks to Taeyeon’s basic condition for hiring an employee being an avid Monster Eater user.

There were many people who thought that being involved in the development of their favorite game and being able to play without a reason as an excuse for testing was itself the best welfare.

“It’s an in-house competition. Then, why don’t we go ahead with the 1st Jewish Youth Contest with a small prize of 10 million won?”

“Ohhh!”

“A prize of 10 million won?!”

“that’s good!”

10 million won is not a small amount of money, but it was money that could be invested as much as it was to boost the morale of the employees.

… … He probably didn’t know that the boomerang he threw with an extremely light heart would come this far.

* * *

“Uh, I heard there’s a monster competition over there. Can we participate too?”

“Peddy. You’re not just taking care of Nexple Plus Studio, are you? Will you take care of the staff who develop Pantheon?”

“Ah, can’t it be that only Pantheon and Monster Eater employees take care of it? I’m sure the Project D staff will take care of it too. ha ha ha!”

“… … .”

As for where the rumors leaked out, the studio staff managed by Taeyeon actively inquired about participation applications.

even.

“I hear you’re holding a Monster Eater in-house competition with a prize of 10 million won? Can I participate in that too?”

“Director Son Young-sang, do you also play Monster Eater?”

He was the head of Nexle development and one of the people who scouted Taeyeon.

The position in Neckple is one or all people!

“Why is this? It’s a gem that I know too!”

“Ah, that, that’s right.”

“Anyway, don’t you think it’s only taking care of Nexple Plus employees? I heard that the Pantheon and Project D development teams are also planning to participate.”

“… … It hasn’t been decided yet, has it?”

“okay? Then decide and allow me to participate!”

“No, because this is an event planned to boost the morale of Nexple Plus employees… … .”

“Everyone shows interest and wants to participate, but if you say you’ll only take care of Nexple Plus, other studios will lose morale, can you afford that?”

“… … .”

“I’ll take care of it as a company event, so the 1st Jewish Senior Monster Eater Contest. Let’s do it right once.”

My ears are pricked up.

“The word that it will be taken care of as a company event… … Are you saying you want to support the prize money?”

“Is it just prize money? What to eat, where to eat, when to race… … He wants to take care of everything.”

“Is that okay?”

Director Son Young-sang asks back with an absurd face.

“Do you see what this friend is saying? Don’t you know who I am?”

It was a stupid question.

Did you ask me if such a thing was possible in front of Neckple Number 2? … .

“All right. Then, we will proceed with the official Nexle event.”

“It should be like that.”

By doing so.

[Jewish age. The 1st Monster Eater Neckple Championship held!]

… … The contest, which was meant to boost morale, has grown out of control.

* * *

‘No, did my company have so many Monster Eater users?’

There were even a lot of people who wanted to create an account and play because there was no particular restriction on the hunter rank.

‘I probably won’t. It’s hard to handle this alone.’

So I asked for help.

“Planning Manager. Help me prepare for the contest!”

The in-house monster eater competition has finally started!

On that day, numerous company employees gathered in the company’s PC room.

Even though the large PC room was full, there was not enough space, so the competition had to be divided.

“I even did special training for today.”

“I must take the first prize!”

“I have to aim for third place, no more.”

Director Sohn Young-sang supported the tournament and the prize money increased significantly.

1st place prize money of 10 million won, the latest graphics card, and one week of paid vacation.

2nd place prize money of 5 million won and 3 days paid vacation.

3rd place prize money of 3 million won and 1 day of paid vacation.

It was quite a generous prize for an in-house competition that was suddenly decided.

It was enough to ignite the flames of the employees who were thinking about participating in the competition itself.

The competition was more heated than expected.

The 12 finalists selected through a fierce preliminary round were all very talented. The workmanship is so good that it was fun enough just to watch.

The performance of the Monster Eater operation team staff, who were hired as commentators, was also dazzling.

Taeyeon thought to herself as she calmly looked at the scene atmosphere enjoyed by everyone.

‘It’s perfect for rehearsing for this competition.’

In addition, I was able to think of things that must be corrected or that it would be nice to add.

* * *

Fortunately for Taeyeon, it was the pair of male employees of the wonhwa team who took the honor of winning.

“I want to share the glory of winning with our art team!”

“It was really fun. I hope to have more opportunities like this in the future!”

The 2nd and 3rd places were occupied by staff from other studios, but it was not particularly regrettable.

‘The contest was fun, and I kept my pride by winning first place among the Nexple Plus employees.’

The important thing is that the competition was fun.

‘No matter what you do, game competitions should be fun for both viewers and players.’

A few days later, Taeyeon gathered the staff and said.

“While watching the competition, I tried to organize what could be corrected and supplemented. We have categorized and organized the contents that would be good to add new things and the contents that are urgently needed to be corrected. Of course, this was agreed upon by PD Satoshi Takizawa.”

The elasticity explodes.

While everyone was just enjoying the competition, Taeyeon was doing various things behind the scenes.

After the presentation, Taeyeon spoke.

“The new additions will be included in a major update after the World Championship. Each team must complete the work by this week on the urgent matters that need to be corrected.”

The leader was leading the way, but there were no employees who would not follow.

Even this time, it wasn’t just distributing the organized work and it was over, and he himself took a significant part without dividing the parts.

“You can’t let go of your hands as a producer. I’ll take this much and finish the work, everyone, please ask for the rest.”

Time passed like that again.

And finally.

[Monster Eater Online: The 1st World Championship Open!]

Numerous Monster Eater users from all over the world flocked to Busan BEXCO.
