The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

34. capture (2)

Park Myung-hoon, who returned to the company in a good mood, immediately had a meeting with the PD in charge.

“I will quit that company!”

“… … !”

The person who speaks is pleasant, but the person who listens is thunderous.

“Oh, no… … why?!”

“I want to change jobs.”

“Uh, where… … ?”

“Do you know Nepple Entertainment?”

“Ah, Taeyeon Yoo’s… … uh? wait for a sec. Didn’t Team Leader Park say that he was close with producer Yoo Tae-yeon? if… … ?”

Instead of answering, Park Myung-hoon smiles round and round.

The PD in charge sighed.

“No, even so, if you suddenly announce your resignation, what will you do with the project? I can’t do it without Team Leader Park… … .”

“Ah, what kind of weak words… … PD-nim, you can do well without me.”

no.

can’t do without

He had already failed two projects, and this was his last chance. Even so, it was the power of academic background and personal connections that allowed him to take the position of producer.

It was a line directly under the president.

Without Park Myung-hoon, the best person to carry the project, the result was obvious this time too. So desperate.

“I’ll pay more for your salary. huh?”

“no. I’m not going to leave the company because I’m disappointed with that producer. I don’t like PD. You believed in me and gave me a lot of strength.”

“But why… … .”

“Because PD-nim is not Yoo Tae-yeon.”

The PD in charge, who was speechless for a moment, sighed and complained.

“Anyway, isn’t fact violence too severe? Of course, I know PD Yoo Tae-yeon is a very talented person, but… … .”

“No, that’s not the story. PD Yoo Tae-yeon is like a teacher in my life. He was the one who taught me everything from game development to company life, even though I didn’t know anything.”

“ah… … .”

“Is there any reason to hesitate when calling for a benefactor? Above all, working with PD You is fun.”

“Isn’t working with me fun?”

“yes.”

The PD in charge muttered with a black dead face.

“He throws a fastball all the way. Well, that’s why I like team leader Park… … .”

Park Myung-hoon can’t hold back his smile regardless of whether the other person is downcast or not.

“okay. go. go away. Go and live well.”

“thank you.”

“Call me when you’re done. Let’s have a drink.”

“PD is a good person. As a developer, it was just that. ha ha ha!”

“Okay… … .”

‘I got a planner at the highest level.’

Taeyeon recalled the last information she checked on the status window.

[Park Myung-hoon]

Game Designer (System)

System 15/10(15)

Content 12/10(15)

Level 13/10 (15)

Scenario 8/10

Program 7/10

Likeability: 10/10

‘With Team Leader Park, any plan can be realized.’

On the way back, I sent a text message to Choi Jong-hak.

[Successfully Scouting Team Leader Park.]

A call came in immediately.

– No, what are you talking about? Team leader Park is the Park Myung-hoon I know, right? A fact gangster who likes sports?

“that’s right. I’m just on my way to hear the confirmation.”

-Wow, I was really surprised. Park Myung-hoon scout… … Are you going to summon all your former comrades?

“Anyway possible? As much as I have a lot of work, I need someone I can trust. Especially the planning part.”

-Aha, are you talking about live headquarters? Well, my older brother can’t do everything on his own… … Are you thinking of entrusting Myeong-hoon with the production of the live headquarters?

“huh. Team leader Park will do more than I expected.”

-That’s right.

“As soon as the live headquarters is organized, I will entrust the development of Pantheon and Pandaemonium. I didn’t invite you just to clean up the live.”

-It’s a waste of talent to leave that much. Anyway, nice to see this Myung-hoon is coming to our company… … .

“As soon as things are sorted out, let’s have a drink together, the three of us.”

-It’s good!

After the phone call, Taeyeon checked the registered cell phone numbers.

‘I wish I could hire one or two more as the planning team leader… … .’

* * *

– It’s a bit difficult right now. I became a producer just last month… … I won’t be able to get it right until at least the end of this year. I think I will be able to join around February next year… … Are you okay?

-I’m working in Japan right now… … The project results will be released soon, so we will contact you later.

‘It’s not easy after all.’

It’s unfortunate, but I don’t feel sorry for them.

One is directing an aaa-level console project worth tens of billions of dollars, and the other is working in Kyoto, Japan, the very company that every gamer envy.

Even the main title.

‘Where did you even tell me not to be sad?’

Rather, I was grateful for their consideration.

It was because there was no need to be sorry or anything to be considerate of.

So, not to be burdened at all, Taeyeon calmly said the following.

– I’ll try to give you a better suggestion next time.

– No, that’s not it… … .

-uh? Wait. I didn’t mean to say no… … .

– I’m fine, see you next time.

Taeyeon muttered with a proud face.

‘They’re really nice people. He is deeply caring… … .’

If the parties heard it, I was going to jump up and down because it was unfair.

* * *

Park Myung-hoon started going to work after 15 days.

“Can I really not rest?”

“You know my personality… … I hate being laid-back. He said he likes to live a busy and dynamic life every day! ha ha ha!”

“is it so. then… … .”

Are you okay… … .

“I’ll give you a job first.”

“Just say anything!”

“First of all, I will be in charge of the temporary planning and working-level management of the Atlantian electricity.”

“… … wait for a sec. Atlantian electricity? What else is temporary?”

“And Pantheon, Pandemonium, Project D… … Three new projects are currently underway. I’ll give you a month’s time to focus on figuring out four projects. One project per week. Team Leader Park would be enough, right?”

“… … yes?”

“Ah, from now on, you should get used to the position of creative director instead of team leader. You can easily think of Yoo Tae-yeon as the exclusive planning team leader.”

In a word, it means that he will be entrusted with the overall planning of all games he is directly involved in.

After giving the order, Taeyeon patted him on the shoulder and said.

“Come on, fighting.”

Park Myung-hoon, who was left alone with a blank expression, was approached by AD Hong Min-seok and patted him on the shoulder.

“Welcome to Hell. A cup of coffee in that sense?”

“… … .”

* * *

Park Myung-hoon showed his presence after 15 days.

The starting point was the Atlantian Electric Conference.

“So, it’s a story about restructuring the whole scenario starting from the dimension invasion event on the multiverse continent of Atlansia. But I don’t think the union process will be smooth. Let’s consider that part first.”

“Uh, hey, wouldn’t that make the scenario too long?”

“The two forces that fought to the death until now… … No matter how much crisis has come, it’s strange to suddenly stick together and fight together. The size of the story is so huge that you have to tell the process well. At first, each of them suffered enormous damage, but insisted that they still not hold hands, and then some shocking incidents occurred one after another… … .”

Park Myung-hoon smiled.

“Just by unraveling this process, a year’s worth of content will come out. Aren’t you excited about how tense and fun the process of unraveling rice cakes will be?”

Park Myung-hoon, who took control of the conference room before he knew it, spoke in a strong tone.

“Remember. Like DC Comics, rushing hurts badly. You have to be like Marvel. Step by step, step by step.”

The development team as well as outsourced scenario writer Baek Young-hoon nodded in admiration.

Taeyeon smiled with satisfaction as she saw Park Myung-hoon looking ahead to the future and starting to draw a big picture.

‘I’m sure my skills have improved. It means that I’ve been working hard all this time.’

And it was surprising that he had already grasped the vast contents and complicated situation of the Atlantian Electric.

No matter how much you were originally a user, it’s another thing to figure out as a developer. You have to know not only the surface content, but also the development process, process, and preparation plan.

‘I guess we can trust the progress of the development. Then I’ll have to think about changing the business model.’

It was the most important and sensitive issue.

‘In any way, if you put sanctions on cash items that have already been sold and have a big impact on the balance, there will be a lot of backlash.’

What about people who have already spent money?

One of the most serious factors right now was the avatar.

The Atlantian Electric Avatar is divided into three grades.

common, rare. unique.

Normal items can be purchased with game gold, but starting from rare items, they are treated as cash items.

Unique avatars cannot be bought with money.

You have to buy the ‘Synthesis Reagent’, a cash item that can ‘synthesize’ a rare avatar, and synthesize it to obtain it with a random probability.

Because the unique avatar ability enhancement option is so excellent, high-level dungeons or raids do not include a full set of unique avatars.

‘I learned from seeing all the bad things… … .’

This is what Kim Yoo-hyeon, a former PD, borrowed from another company’s popular game system.

The game was still on the rise with sales of more than 1 trillion won in China alone.

‘There is no way to adjust this part. I have no choice but to carry it as it is.’

Instead, mitigation policies are needed.

For example, if you complete a certain achievement quest, a special avatar that is somewhere between ‘rare’ and ‘unique’ is provided.

‘If we provide unique grades for free, users who have spent a lot of money will protest, so we need to lower our stats a little.’

other than that.

Paid enhancement order.

Paid Item Farming Order Form.

Paid Buff Order.

Paid auto-hunting order book.

‘Even if I don’t have these things, there’s no problem with the balance, so I guess I can blow them.’

Instead, you can make it available to anyone through a quest.

‘Instead, for those who purchased the cache items in large quantities, a separate compensation plan should be prepared. Block the purchase.’

Taeyeon did not end with her own worries.

This was an issue that required ample meetings and much review.

To mitigate as much as possible the problem of cash items excessively influencing the game balance.

This was also the biggest challenge of the Atlantian Electric.

This was a problem that had to be achieved even if it meant a significant drop in sales right away.

“If you have fun, you have to spend money. Let’s make it fun. Enough that even users who have left can hear rumors and return!”

You can’t completely fix the already scratched part.

Instead, it is possible to make the game fun.

“Director Myunghoon Park is right. All we have to do is make every moment of the game fun. This game brings back the romance of MMORPG that was lost at some point.”

Taeyeon’s eyes twinkled.

“Let’s try our best again to make a fun game.”

“yes!”

Yoo Tae-yeon and Park Myung-hun.

Developers who were inspired by the two directors with skills and passion responded vigorously.

The desire for an interesting MMORPG, which had disappeared at some point in the Atlantia Electric Development Room, was rekindled at that moment.
