38. transcription test

Nexple controls or owns some shares in numerous overseas corporations at home and abroad.

There are more than a dozen live headquarters, and more than a dozen new game development studios.

Enterprise testing refers to conducting tests with the cooperation of employees working in these numerous companies.

Not to users, but to the same developers.

Even in the name of testing, this day of determination and tearing is also a very scary day for developers.

If a game under development was overturned without a rumor, most of it was because of poor evaluation in this warrior test.

And this fact was known to most of the Nexple employees.

“Again, keep your composure no matter what. There is no perfect game in the world.”

Taeyeon added.

“Any accusations you hear after this time are not your responsibility. It is the responsibility of the directors who give you instructions, and it is my problem to oversee the directors as well. You just did what I told you to do.”

How many new games will be eaten… … .

Isn’t it even their own game that has been through countless things with the top 3 Nepple games?

Even if you don’t know, the aftermath will never be small!

“… … .”

Taeyeon understood that fear better than anyone else.

So, I read it in the most caring voice.

“If there is a problem, I will take full responsibility. So feel free to take the test. There will be no harm to you.”

I don’t know how comforting that would have been… … In fact, Taeyeon was also nervous.

Even though they are internal developers, isn’t it the first time to showcase the results of the past anyway?

And finally.

“Test server open!”

The warrior test has begun.

Many people log in and play the game.

Do you think these are not users, but people who work for the same company or subsidiaries… … .

‘I can’t seem to find anything else.’

Things like testing scope, methods, and requirements have already fallen into the enterprise. Nevertheless, inquiries were always bound to arise.

-Hey, how do I get the quest?

└Ah, first activate the cheat function… … .

-What is the cheat key activation command?

└ Oh, that’s… … .

After staring at the chat window, when an inquiry in their work area pops up in the chat window, they respond immediately.

Taeyeon laughed at the scene.

‘Actually, you don’t have to do this… … .’

It’s nothing special to say that the developers are preparing for in-house testing.

Keeping up with your work while monitoring the game.

In fact, problems are consolidated and organized into reports at the company level. The test guide is also provided by the operation team members who have been put in for today.

Even so, developers can’t stand the tension and responsibility, so they care so much.

-Oh, the cinematic video… … I must have spent some money. hahahaha

– There are quite a few things that have changed for a limited period of paid cash items. There are quite a few things that are scheduled to be deleted.

– It’s good because there are a lot of quests from console adventure games. Like time attack puzzles, breaking through traps… … .

“Overall, the evaluation is not bad.”

There are no people who openly throw malicious comments.

First of all, it was a transcription test, and if you check the log a little, you can know who accessed it from where.

What was important was the questionnaire.

That’s because everything is anonymous.

* * *

The test lasted for two days.

In the meantime, Nexple employees who played the Chronicles of Atlansia were feeling strange emotions.

‘Can the game change like this?’

The newly updated amount feels like playing a completely different game, from the graphics to the single line of text.

‘I can’t see the bug.’

‘There are no typos… … .’

So the progress is very refreshing.

I can’t see any irritating points, so the sense of immersion is further strengthened.

-Ah, raid failed again. ㅠ.ㅠ Why did the pattern become so complicated?! Is that alive?!

-This raid mob… … Is it a different level from the existing mob AI? Am I not the only one who feels that way??

-ㅇㅇ At first, it moves according to a certain pattern, but from the second and third phases, it’s a pattern, it’s nabal, and it feels like it’s gone… … It seems to learn and respond to user play patterns.

– Could it be that machine learning algorithms have been applied?;;;

-Oh no way… … .;;

– No, I guess so?; The kid is so smart!

-Isn’t it just because you’re a balcon?

hot reaction.

All of the articles that were only evaluations disappear, and only admiration for and enjoyment of the game are posted.

The testers fell in love with the game.

Oh, if you do.

“Oh, Peddy. It’s already past test time, but people aren’t logging out! How do I do this?”

I don’t think about ending the game.

Taeyeon, who was watching quietly, said a word.

“Leave it, everyone, go to work when it’s time. I will go see it.”

Where is the person who can listen to that and leave work with peace of mind? Employees who just noticed and tried to put down their bags.

The server team leader said bluntly.

“It’s enough for me alone, so don’t waste your precious time and all the program teams get off work.”

“The planning team should also leave work.”

“All the art team… … .”

Taeyeon laughed at the voices of the team leaders.

* * *

Warrior test is over.

Early moning. Taeyeon told the developers.

“Thank you all for your hard work, team leaders, let’s have lunch together.”

The place where the team leaders arrived after Taeyeon was not at the cafeteria, but at a high-class Japanese restaurant a little far away.

“The team leaders worked really hard during the test period. You work overtime that you don’t have to do because of me… … .”

“… … Could this be instead of a dinner party?”

“It’s not a dinner party, I’m treating it at my own expense out of gratitude.”

Team leaders exchanging puzzled glances.

The server team leader sighed and said.

“Peddy.”

“yes?”

“I understand how you want to get us off work quickly… … Do you know that words are coming out from time to time among team members these days?”

“which… … Are you talking?”

“I want to try something called a dinner party.”

Taeyeon tilted her head.

Once a month.

It was because on Friday afternoon, instead of working, the parts were taking measures to let each other eat what they wanted to eat and leave work on their own.

“You must already have a dinner party?”

This was Taeyeon’s way.

The server manager shook his head.

“It’s not like that, just like everyone else is doing. After work!”

“Hmm, don’t employees avoid that kind of dinner these days?”

“Originally, that is the case, but this time is an exception. It’s because of PD.”

“Is it because of me?”

“yes. I want to have a private conversation with PD-nim and get to know him, but isn’t there an opportunity at the company? Even in that bizarre dinner party that we do once a month, PD-nim doesn’t participate and goes about other work… … .”

“hmm… … .”

“Peddy. When this first large-scale update is over, will you leave the rest to director Park Myung-hoon and step down?”

“I thought so. Of course, users’ reactions should be good, but… … .”

“If the update is applied successfully, let’s have a dinner party. Grill some meat as a group, share a few drinks, and share a lot of stories… … yes?”

The team leaders seemed to want that too.

‘It’s a party… … .’

It was a very peculiar case.

‘You must have said something to me, right?’

A leader should not hesitate to communicate.

“great. However, we will conduct an anonymous survey and proceed when the majority is exceeded.”

“great!”

Surprisingly, the survey of the day was unanimous!

Now that it came to this, Taeyeon had no choice but to decide.

“Let’s go to dinner after the update is successfully completed.”

Cheers and applause erupted.

Then a female employee raised her hand and asked.

“Do you go to karaoke for a second time?!”

She was a 27-year-old original artist who was popular with male employees for her pretty appearance and lively personality.

“If you want.”

shouts erupt again

Atlansia Electric Studios.

It was the moment when the first and last group dinner hosted by Taeyeon was decided.

* * *

Two days left to update.

“If you don’t have any special plans for lunch today, let’s eat together.”

In the morning, Choi Jong-hak came and proposed.

A meal that was so successful.

“brother. You know PD Song Jae-hee, right?”

“Elcross PD?”

“That person is the direct line of directors Lee Tae-young and Son Young-sang. KAIST Computer Engineering junior.”

“hmm… … .”

“Originally, I worked as the head of Shinhwa Online’s planning team at Nero Soft, and after launching, I took over as director and led it for about three years, and then came over to us after being offered a scout.”

The story that started that way was quite interesting.

“Director Son Young-sang. Like Hwang-hee and Jeong-seung, he was always aiming for retirement, but the president refused, so you know he has no choice but to keep his position, right?”

“hmm. Roughly?”

“I think he thought of handing over the position of development manager after seeing Song Jae-hee, a junior he cherished, hit the jackpot at a competitor. That’s why they brought it on the condition of supporting 50 billion won in development costs.”

Choi Jong-hak’s smile becomes meaningful.

“With the intention of handing over the development director’s position if the game succeeds.”

Director Son Young-sang, during the meeting of directors, I remembered the man who first proposed the in-house test of Atlansia Electric.

A middle-aged man of the type of scholar wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

He was Song Jae-hee, executive producer of Nexle’s most anticipated MMORPG, Elcross.

For reference, Elcross has been the most anticipated work at Nexle since 5 years ago.

“But my brother suddenly started to stand out.”

“Is that why you started to be wary of me?”

“Exactly! In fact, looking at the current situation, the person closest to the successor of the two directors is the older brother. To put it bluntly, he is the king’s man nicknamed by his older brother these days.”

“The king’s man?”

“The chairman’s man.”

“ah… … .”

There are all sorts of rumors.

Taeyeon smiled and asked.

“How did you find out about that?”

“This is what I heard last night while having a drink with director Lee Tae-young.”

Choi Jong-hak does not belong to any line in the company, but he has a presence that no one can touch.

This is because the mobile game, which was quickly made in two years and launched simultaneously in Korea and Japan, generated 600 billion won in sales in the first year alone!

It does not belong to the top 3 Nepple games due to lack of tradition, but it is recording the best results.

In Japan, it was a national mobile game.

There is a question that comes to mind about this.

“Don’t you want to be in charge of development?”

“Why, if you have an idea, do you want to make a concession?”

“I wasn’t interested in it from the beginning.”

“I guess so. I have to go to my sister-in-law as soon as I get off work.”

“Anyway, do you have any ideas?”

Choi Jong-hak laughed.

“I’m going to start my own company?”

“Have you received an investment offer?”

“40 billion from Nexle. 50 billion from ND Soft. 60 billion in Chinese Tenzette. About this much?”

“… … .”

I’m at a loss for words.

‘The units are different.’

Speaking of starting an independent company… … Can I get 10 billion?

Taeyeon, who was thinking about it, shook her head.

‘Because Monster Eater is not my title.’

I don’t know if Pantheon can generate more than 600 billion in sales in the first year… … It’s almost impossible.

Choi Jong-hak was able to achieve such achievements because the original IP was world-famous.

‘I’ll just have to work hard at Neple Entertainment.’

After thinking, Taeyeon said.

“Anyway, I got it. The point is that PD Song Jae-hee, who wanted to become the new power of Nexple, is in a situation where he is in a mess because of me.”

“It’s good that you don’t ignore it too much. You know that in order to launch a new project in our company, we need to get good reviews from internal tests, especially from the directors, right?”

“I did.”

“Of course, the decision is made by the president… … If there is a strong resistance from the inside, we can’t force it blindly.”

Still, Taeyeon doesn’t worry.

“I just need to make a game that everyone can’t help but acknowledge.”

“… … .”

Taeyeon checked the time and wiped her mouth.

“If you have eaten, let’s stand up. It’s business time soon.”

Choi Jong-hak smiled as he watched the back of him carrying the bill and moving to the counter.

‘It’s definitely changed. I also have charisma… … It looks much better.’

After all, a seat is a corporation that creates people.

Somehow it felt good.

‘That hyung, I think I’m going to have a very large accident sooner or later.’

I’m already looking forward to it.

A game made by Taeyeon Yoo.

As a result, what will happen to the in-house political board.

‘You did a good job bringing him.’

Praising himself, Choi Jong-hak also left.
