Friday evening.

Atlansia Electric Developer Dinner was held.

“Even though it’s awkward. You asked for it, so let’s try it.”

Standing in front of everyone, Taeyeon cleared her throat once and shouted.

“Atlantia electricity… … for!”

“for!”

A lively atmosphere.

“Peddy! May I pour you a drink?”

“me too… … !”

Everyone was actively approaching, so even Taeyeon couldn’t refuse and had no choice but to accept what was given.

‘It looks like everyone made up their minds.’

It seems that he wanted to see himself drunk and disheveled.

‘About today… … .’

I knew the intention, but decided to let it go.

Isn’t it the first and last dinner?

But something amazing happened.

‘Drinking… … Aren’t you drunk?’

It seems to be the influence of this magic bracelet that always keeps the body in the best condition.

The ship was full, but there was no distraction or distraction.

‘There was such a function. I didn’t know… … .’

Developers who didn’t know the circumstances were just surprised.

“It looks like you’ve already had several bottles… … Unstoppable!”

“Your drinking volume is great?”

All sorts of questions pour in.

“Can I get an incentive if sales hit this time?”

In fact, it has been quite a while since sales have gone down significantly and ordinary developers have not received incentives.

But this time, the atmosphere is good, and Taeyeon has a reputation for fair distribution of incentives, so have expectations.

Taeyeon in everyone’s eyes.

“For the time being, sales will drop significantly, so it will be difficult to receive incentives.”

Unexpectedly, negative comments were made on game sales. Park Myung-hoon explained the reason.

“There are a lot of paid items that have stopped selling.”

“ah… … !”

“I think maybe 15% will be blown away.”

“… … .”

suddenly quiet down

It was something I hadn’t expected up to that point.

One planner asked.

“But since so many people have returned, won’t we be able to make up for the loss?”

“I know?”

“Didn’t you hit 500,000 concurrent users?”

“I checked before coming, and it was at the level of 460,000 people!”

If the PC game coincidence rate was this much, it was a truly amazing figure.

Park Myung-hoon shook his head.

“You unlocked a lot of paid items through the jump event. The payment rate will go up to some extent, but that’s not going to happen. Most returning users will take a wait-and-see attitude.”

“Well, isn’t that a bad thing?”

“If sales go down like that… … .”

The atmosphere quickly withers.

Taeyeon, who had been quietly watching, stepped out.

“It was an expected sequence from the beginning. Our game is just being put to the test.”

You seem sober right now, but will you be able to do so in the future?

We need to prove this question consistently.

That we’ve really changed and that you guys are worth spending your money and time and immersion again.

“Even though… … Sales fell, but isn’t it against the producer?”

Words filled with someone’s worries.

Everyone nods their heads in agreement.

Everyone knows that there are many enemies inside who hate Taeyeon and are anxious to bring her down right away.

“The attack will come right away, but don’t worry. If the number of concurrent users is maintained and there are many positive stories on the net, sales will eventually go up.”

There is no way right now other than to believe that it will happen and endure.

Park Myung-hun said courageously.

“If you’re a really thoughtful person, you’ll know how to shut up after looking at the number of neighbors. I don’t want to be embarrassed later when I see a sharp rise in sales.”

Laughter breaks out.

Taeyeon, as always, had a cold face, but affirmed it very reliably.

“You don’t have to worry about anything, just prepare well for the next update. If I’m right, you’ll probably get an incentive from the next quarterly update.”

As planned, Taeyeon stepped down from the position of temporary PD of Atlansia Electric. Park Myung-hoon took his place.

“The performance during the year is important. Thank you for the update and maintenance.”

“Don’t worry and leave it to me!”

“I will assign you another live game support job when you get used to the job to some extent.”

Resigning from the position of PD does not mean avoiding responsibility.

The fact that Taeyeon conducted this update is known to the world. And even though she stepped down from her position as a producer, Taeyeon was still the head of live.

first month.

[Atlancia electricity, overlap rate rises, sales decrease by 12%!]

As expected, sales fell sharply in the first month.

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong muttered.

“Still, I don’t think this is good enough. What do you two think?”

Director Son Young-sang, who was sitting on the sofa in the office and drinking tea, answered first.

“You are right. This is great.”

“In fact, the business team expected up to 17%… … That is a really great number.”

Director Lee Tae-young smiled.

“If the current atmosphere continues, sales will rise vertically immediately after the next quarterly update.”

“It seems to me as well.”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong was monitoring user reactions by accessing the Atlansia community.

“I had no choice but to curse so much that at some point I intentionally stopped paying attention… … This is so much fun.”

The secretary’s office collected and organized some community responses, but Chairman Yoo Jin-seong directly accessed the community.

It was because I wanted to see a live reaction.

Also, directly checking the reaction of the self-developed game was originally the hobby of President Jin-Sung Yoo. From a certain point on, I refrained from talking about money play and everything, so I refrained from it for my mental health.

“… … What is your reaction?”

“Don’t you guess? My butt is already shaking… … There was a lot of fuss about catching the pod.”

“Our business team leader also heated up, saying that while U PD spent so much money, sales actually fell, and that we should hold him accountable.

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong asked with a frown on his face.

“Why do you have a guy like that?”

“Because this guy has great flat feet, there are many places where he wears it here and there. Recently, I often hang out with Song Jae-hee, and he gave me a lot of very interesting information.”

“PD Song Jae-hee? A ghost that eats that money?”

The eyes of the two turned to Son Young-sang.

Son Young-sang, who was leisurely enjoying the scent of tea, asked with a puzzled face.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“Isa Son brought you! He said that he is a junior who cares and works well… … .”

“ah… … .”

“ah? Where are you pretending to come to mind now? Do you know how much money he spent in 5 years?”

“How are you?”

Yoo Jin-seong looks at Lee Tae-young.

“A whopping 50 billion.”

“Ohh… … .”

Son Young-sang shakes his head as if he knew an interesting fact.

And smile and say

“It’s my fault. Resignation as an apology… … .”

“Shut up man! I want to run away somewhere at this time… … You man will make me work until I’m over 100!”

“… … .”

At Son Young-sang’s sullen face, Lee Tae-young smiled and said.

“Anyway, Song Jae-hee, this friend is rallying the directors in the company, but it seems to be using Son Young-sang line.”

“His clique… … Why are you letting it go?”

“First of all, we brought in 50 billion cases on the condition that they support that much in the first place. Because Nero Soft is the protagonist of Shinhwa Online.”

“mythology… … Oh, it was. that’s right. Was it the planning team leader?”

“He was a planning team leader at the time of development, and he is a competent friend who rose to the position of director two years after launch and increased sales.”

If you ask what is the most popular game in Korean game companies, most of them will take ‘Shinhwa Online’ as an example.

It is the MMORPG of Hack and Slush, and it is the main player that has grown Nero Soft into a famous MMORPG game and Nexple’s biggest rival company.

Now, it is treated as a disease of the Korean game world because of its terrifying commerciality, but it is clear that it is a great game anyway. He was the main character who made it, so he brought it with a big condition.

“What have you been doing for five years? Why aren’t you playing games?”

“The game continues to work hard. He was so obsessed with quality that he was gnashing his teeth to make it as good as foreign aaa-level console titles. Skill is a sure friend.”

“Oh, yes?”

“The problem is politics… … This part actually has a big influence on me.”

“What effect?”

“As a junior under the direct supervision of the Department of Computer Engineering at KAIST, I have been paying attention since college. He knew a lot about skill, leadership and ambition. I thought of him as a friend who could do great things once the foundation was established.”

“Why are you spinning around like that? Just say that I was considering it as the next general director of development.”“

“Uh huh… … .”

Son Young-sang glared at Lee Tae-young, and Chairman Yoo Jin-seong said something stupid to Son Young-sang.

“Are you crazy? Who wants to be the next development manager?”

“He’s got enough of that.”

“More than Taeyeon?”

“… … .”

“Gaedo Live Headquarters, develops two or three new projects at the same time, and is recognized by executives of giant companies such as K World Group and Disney for doing a good job… … can you?”

“No, honestly… … Taeyeon, that guy is weird. does that make sense? I’m not a god of work… … .”

“Anyway, it’s not like that. Song Jae-hee.”

“What, is that so?”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong sighed and asked.

“So, what are you going to do? By the way, I don’t like Taeyeon. Whether it’s a development manager or a business manager… … .”

eyes narrow

“Either Nepple CEO.”

“… … !”

“Mmm.”

The two directors let out a drool.

Son Young-sang sighed and said.

“Can’t you give Song Jae-hee a chance? What did he come here for and ran until now… … .”

“Didn’t you show me anything?”

“I will show you soon. The game will be released this Christmas.”

“You mean Elcross?”

“yes!”

“… … .”

“Please look at my face. Don’t you know? Maybe Elcross will make all-time sales… … .”

“Are you looking at me like that?”

“yes! Really well made.”

“… … .”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong, who had been struggling with it, readily accepted.

“good. I don’t think Taeyeon will listen to the words that he will do it anyway. As you said, if you have development capabilities and leadership… … If you can prove it, there is nothing you can’t do.”

“That is what I want to say. Above all, Taeyeon is a guy whose wife is the top priority in his life. How much I hate doing the job of head of the division right now… … Being in charge of development and being the CEO of Nexle, if you leave things like that, you might want to leave the company.”

Director Lee Tae-young also nodded in agreement.

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong also agreed.

“That is the problem. what… … then good I’ll give you one chance However, as you said, you will definitely have to prove your abilities.”

“That’s enough.”

“Instead, don’t let me do weird things like before. Like leading an in-house test for nothing.”

“ah… … I will.”

“If you are a game developer, show it as a game. okay?”

“yes!”

After the two directors left, Chairman Yoo Jin-seong, who was left alone, murmured.

“Ha, Taeyeon is that guy. Even if the ambition was greater… … .”
