The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

40. reverse(2)

Recently, Yuna Kim was preparing for a gala show.

It is also an all-star gala show inviting gymnastics legends from all over the world!

When the gymnastics queen, whom Korea was proud of, stretches, all kinds of interest is poured out. It was an atmosphere reminiscent of a concert by a famous idol group.

When Taeyeon first heard this news, she was just like that. Agreed. And I started my help.

From diet to life rhythm.

Everything was tailored for her.

I even asked the manager for advice.

Rather, Yuna Kim asked such a reaction.

“Aren’t you curious about my brother? Why am I suddenly doing this?”

Taeyeon calmly replied.

“It’s not surprising that someone who used to do gymnastics wants to do gymnastics again.”

is it?

It was Yoona who almost understood it naturally when she said it as if it was natural.

“Can’t you just ask why?”

“Why?”

“… … .”

“why?”

“It’s because I’m so out of touch because I’m afraid it’s not Yoo Tae-yeon.”

Yoona let out a sigh and said.

“To tell you why… … It’s because I was stimulated by my brother.”

“To me?”

“Your brother is good at both work and housework. Very passionate.”

Was it?

It was something I had never considered special because I had taken it for granted.

But Yoona seems to have taken it a little differently.

“I feel like a pig with no goals just because I’m retired, and I’m fed up.”

There were many things she wanted to say, but Taeyeon decided to listen.

“I thought it would be embarrassing to see my brother at this rate, so I decided to do something, and it naturally came to a conclusion with this gala show.”

“good idea.”

“Do you really think so?”

“huh. You’ve definitely got a lot of energy these days. Looking at the reaction on the internet, the fans were also happy. It makes me feel better too.”

“Isn’t your brother annoying? If I cared about it, wouldn’t it have been a lot of things to be tired?

“you’re welcome. Rather fun.”

“Are you having fun?”

“huh. Watching you happy, thinking about what to do for you.”

Taeyeon smiled a little.

“It’s all fun and happy.”

“… … .”

“So don’t feel sorry for me and do what you want to do. Whether it’s a gala show, broadcasting activities, or fostering successors.”

“I, really? Can I really do whatever I want to do?”

“of course.”

“Will your brother help you?”

“okay. So don’t worry and try anything. By the way, I like pigs with a full stomach because they are cute, but I also love pigs that move vigorously.”

Yuna Kim’s bright face turned grim.

“What, after all, do you want to say that I am a pig?”

“Even an angry pig has charm.”

“this person… … hey! Taeyeon Yoo!”

Taeyeon returned to Pantheon Studio again.

Everyone gathered in the conference room together.

I’m trying to check the maps and objects I’ve worked on so far by loading them into the engine.

Hong Min-seok AD said with a grin.

“I am introducing. It is the first Pantheon.”

The result is projected through a beam projector.

A huge city of gods floating in the air!

The earth is made up of the roots and pillars of the world tree, Yggdrasil, and in the center stands the main control tower, the Deus Ex Machina controlled by the machine god.

“Pantheon is also the name of a place that serves as a city in other games. In the open beta specification, a total of five pantheons will be updated, the size will be unified at 15X15km, and each sector divided into five will contain the characteristics of the mythical people.”

A continuous presentation.

There were some who saw it for the first time on top of a real engine, so everyone looked at the screen as if it were a miracle.

“The work progress of the first field, no, Pantheon is 80%, and when the graphic resources that are still being outsourced arrive, they will be polished and 100% completed by the end of next month.”

Taeyeon nodded and started clapping her hands.

“Excellent!”

“Wow!”

Starting with that, all the developers clap their hands and burst into cheers.

It’s only been a little over six months since we started Project Pantheon, and a huge field is already being completed.

“Quests are the way to issue orders from the central control center, Deus Ex Machina. Therefore, the UI was also produced in the SF design format. Quest rewards also go through this.”

At those words, a famous famous line flashes through my mind.

“Highly developed technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

“I plan to apply Clark’s words in various forms.”

“That is a wonderful idea. Whose idea is it?”

Scenario planner Baek Young-hun quietly raised his hand.

“I am a science fiction fanatic.”

“That’s a great idea. Let’s try to make the most of it.”

“yes! thank you!”

Various systems, including quests, were already applied.

Chat, shops, auctions, and more.

“When moving between fields, we will quickly show the process of arriving at the destination through space and planets through the dimension shifting technology, Bifrost. This part came up with a recent idea and is currently being worked on, so I will replace it with team leader Yeong-ae’s original drawing.”

When the screen changes, exclamation bursts out.

“and.”

“Awesome.”

“This is just art.”

It was a scene where rainbow lights crossed a beautiful galaxy.

Like someone’s exclamation… … .

‘It’s not enough to call it art.’

Lee Young-ae laughed as if embarrassed at the rave reviews that erupted from all sides.

“Then continue… … .”

Then, a project D meeting was held.

At Pantheon, Lee Young-ae, who was the original drawing team leader, led the presentation this time as an art director.

“Currently, it is about 60% complete.”

“You mean the first field?”

“no. Total perfection.”

“… … !”

Taeyeon was surprised.

“No, already to that extent… … ?”

“You are in the process of ‘combining’ by recycling existing resources as much as possible and retouching only what is absolutely necessary. Thanks to PD-nim, I am getting enough resources from Disney, so the work is easy.”

It was only natural that the pace of work progressed quickly as the number of professional manpower, which had increased to 40, was working hard.

“But the other 40% will take a little longer.”

“Is it detail work?”

“yes. It is also necessary to unify the resources produced in different places according to Project D… … .”

After a series of meetings with the business team and producers at the live headquarters, it was already lunch time.

‘I ended up having a meeting in the morning.’

It’s not always like this.

From nob le mt l dot com

Maybe once or twice a week?

Today, it stopped at this level, but if you are unlucky, there are cases where you only go to internal and external meetings and meetings all day, and then the day goes by.

On that day, it was unconditionally overtime work.

Because I have to cut out unfinished development work.

‘If I move a little busily today… … I can get off work early.’

I had a happy dream for a while.

[hello. Yoo Tae-yeon, general manager. It’s been a while… … Can I see you and say hello?]

Today, why are old acquaintances requesting a visit like this?

It’s not someone you don’t know, isn’t it impossible to turn a blind eye to someone you have a relationship with and communicate with often?

From nob le mt l dot com

Maybe you came with some kind of trouble… … .

We met in the cafeteria and had a brief conversation, but the afternoon flew by.

‘Only two hours left before work.’

Unlike regular employees, Taeyeon had certain tasks that she had to complete each day.

Because it’s a producer. because it’s the head of the because it is representative

‘It wasn’t a bad time, though.’

Now that I see it, everyone came here because they were worried.

– PD. Are you okay these days? There are so many bad things about the decline in Atlansia electricity sales these days… … .

In fact, it was something I didn’t even care about.

Because I didn’t have time to care about public opinion leisurely.

-Atlansia electricity sales decrease… … Are you okay like this?

-I haven’t played the game, but sales decreased by 12%… … Isn’t this serious??

-Yoo Tae-yeon You acted like a star developer or something, but… … f*ck the game

There was a lot of malicious public opinion.

Of course not everyone is like that.

Among the dogs… … .

-The critics now are people who know nothing about the real game. Not one or two paid item sales, which have been continuously raised as a problem, have been stopped, so it is only natural that they will decrease right now. Since this patch is so new, things will change after the next update.

There were many people who accurately read the flow and spoke for Taeyeon.

Long-time users of Atlansia Electric.

They were the ones who persevered even when the decline intensified and interest in the game declined significantly.

Those who frequently criticized the game operation team and development team are now taking the lead in defending them.

‘You don’t have to worry about public opinion outside. What’s really important is the opinions of users who truly enjoy our game.’

That’s why Taeyeondo, the Atlansia Electric Development Team, and the management team could not be shaken.

for their support.

The opinions and reactions of users were the most reliable indicators.

‘Next Monday is Yoona’s gala show, so I need to finish the amount of work for that day in advance.’

The typing sound got faster and faster.

* * *

It was an unexpected offer.

“hello. Yoo Tae-yeon, general manager. This is Song Jae-hee.”

Early Thursday morning.

Suddenly, Song Jae-hee came.

A KAIST junior and the main character of Shinhwa Online, whom director Son Young-sang considered as his successor and scouted him!

‘This person is PD Song Jae-hee, the star developer.’

He was also a producer who has been developing the super-large MMORPG Elcross for 5 years, spending 50 billion won.

“Today or tomorrow evening. Can we have a meal together? I want to treat you.”

He was polite, but his eyes were sharp.

‘Once there are eyes to see… … .’

Taeyeon is polite… … .

“I am sorry. Because I’m going to keep busy for the time being.”

“… … yes?”

Song Jae-hee blinks her eyes with a puzzled face, probably not expecting to be rejected.

The people around him, who were watching with nervousness inside, were also embarrassed.

Taeyeon said with an expressionless face.

“The person I know is having a gala show next Monday.”

“ah… … .”

“So I’m busy until Tuesday.”

No. Doesn’t the gala end on Monday?

Why until Tuesday… … ?

As if noticing this gaze, Taeyeon elaborated.

“My wife has invited guests from all over the world and we are having a party for them on Tuesday.”

“… … .”

“Not even next Thursday, Friday… … Well, we already have dinner, so let’s have lunch together.”

Song Jae-hee almost protested loudly.

No, what are you so busy with?

What’s wrong?!

“Then, even for lunch next Friday… … .”

“yes. Then let’s do it.”

And seeing Taeyeon taking out her phone and recording her schedule, Song Jaehee couldn’t help but laugh or get angry.

With such a clumsy face, the back as if running away… …

“Uhhh… … .”

“Kkeuk.”

People around me laughed and laughed.

Taeyeon tilted her head, not knowing why they were laughing, and started working as usual.
