The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

40. reverse(3)

Korea has been buzzing since Friday morning.

It was because world-class gymnastics stars and industry officials came to Korea ahead of the gala show.

Yuna Kim personally met and welcomed the place.

Since then, their moves from one to ten have become issues.

where is the accommodation

What I ate and where I went and what I saw.

-But is it okay to just walk around like that without taking a break?

└ That’s on purpose to overcome the jet lag.

From Saturday, full-scale training and rehearsals were held at the Goyang Indoor Gymnasium.

It was such a bright Monday morning.

* * *

Early moning.

Yuna Kim, who was in the passenger seat, was exceptionally silent. He kept opening and closing his eyes, muttering something.

‘It’s mind training,’

Her concentration was at a phenomenal level even in Taeyeon’s eyes.

‘As expected, the national representative can’t be just anyone.’

Just being a national representative is proof that you have already escaped the category of ordinary people, but it is even more amazing and surprising that you won the gold medal and swept the competition without being satisfied there.

Even though she is already retired, Kim Yuna never lived without tension and did not stop exercising.

Although she blames herself for becoming a pig with a full stomach, Taeyeon was well aware that that was not the case.

‘I guess this is what she looked like when she was praised as a gymnastics goddess?’

Charisma emanating from great concentration and immersion!

This is the first time even Taeyeon has experienced it in recent years.

‘I don’t need any words from her now. Except for quietly watching and cheering me on.’

She will definitely do well.

The queen who returns after a few years will once again impress the Republic of Korea.

Taeyeon had no doubts.

The gala show began in an indoor arena full of spectators.

Taeyeon got a lot of inspiration from sitting on one side of the seat and watching it.

‘How could a person’s movements be so beautiful?’

So far, I have met and worked with numerous animators while making games. Among them, there are talented people who have entered major studios in Japan and the United States with truly outstanding skills.

I remember being very impressed with the results they had recently created.

But nothing was as beautiful as the movement unfolding before my eyes.

Taeyeon thought, recording every movement in detail in her head.

‘Can I fully implement that movement into a game? If that is possible, our game will be able to evolve one step further… … .’

* * *

The gala show ended successfully.

People applauded the impressive stage composition and the skills of the all-stars, reminiscent of active duty.

Among them, the cheers for Yuna Kim were surprising. People chanted that the goddess had returned, and the media praised her in real time.

[Yoona Kim was still a gymnastics goddess!]

[Successful Yuna Kim’s All-Star Gala Show! Looking forward to the next move!]

The next day, the after party started.

It was held at a luxury hotel banquet hall, and at this meeting, Yuna Kim received a surprising proposal.

“Do you have any plans to host this all-star gala show in the form of a world tour?”

“… … A world tour?”

It was something I had never thought of.

Do you want to make gymnastics a world tour?

Yoona’s eyes naturally turned to Taeyeon.

With that appearance, Taeyeon could already know her heart.

“Challenge. Do you think it will be a wonderful memory?”

“I, really? Can I really?”

“It’s a good opportunity. You have to get hold of this.”

“still… … .”

I could see why she was hesitating.

“You don’t have to worry about me.”

Taeyeon’s smile finally made Kim Yuna’s heart settle.

“okay. Let me try!”

* * *

Preparations for the world tour gala show of Yuna Kim and All Stars are in full swing.

While Taeyeon silently supported her, he called AD Hong Min-seok and said.

“I thought of something while watching the gala show… … .”

A beautiful movement shown by Yuna Kim and All Star.

Will we be able to implement that feature?

Hong Min-seok’s answer was simple.

“There is nothing I can do. By the way, where do you want to use this movement by implementing it?”

“I thought it would be nice to add it as a playable character position. Strings like whips, balls like shells… … .”

“Ohh.”

show interest

“If you grasp the concept well, you can become a character that is flashy and has a sense of control. If you make good use of the ribbon, you will be able to put in various combos.”

“Exactly.”

“Physique alone is not fun, so I should become a hybrid character that combines magic.”

“I guess so. There will be joy in watching only when magical techniques and effects are added.”

“Hmm, it seems like there was a character like this before… … . I’ll check it out and try to create a simple concept.”

Seeing Hong Min-seok show his enthusiasm, Taeyeon sighed. It was intended to be discarded immediately if it showed even a little bit of a puzzle or a dull appearance.

After the conversation, I was leaving the cafeteria when someone with a gloomy expression passed by.

Hong Min-seok found out.

“This is PD Kim Myeong-heon of ＜Codename Blue＞. These days, the project has been intermittent, but it seems that it ended up leaving.”

“… … ?”

“You don’t know who he is?”

“I know… … . What do you mean by leaving?”

“It is literally. I did an internal test when PD-nim was away, but the evaluation was quite bad at that time. In particular, the director’s evaluation was so bad… … .”

“ah… … .”

then it came to mind

Anyway, since he is the head of the headquarters, it often happens that he is away for several days due to business trips. At that time, the newly developed FPS game had an internal test, and it was said that the project was eventually abandoned due to poor evaluation.

“Was it that serious?”

“no. It wasn’t to the point of being serious. It’s not bad, but it’s not particularly good either. Well, I can sort this out.”

“But why… … ?”

“I don’t know the details, but there’s a story that some ADs I’ve been close with recently tipped me off.”

He looked around and whispered softly.

“I heard that some directors had hated them in the past. As a retaliation for that, I heard that you received a bad reputation during the last test.”

Taeyeon’s brow furrowed.

There was a face that suddenly came to mind.

‘no way… … .’

-Do you know who PD Kim Myeong-heon is?

-Anyone who quit because the project was folded this time? know. why?

-I heard that the reason you received an especially harsh evaluation during the director evaluation was because you were disliked before. Do you know about that?

-Ah, are you talking about that?

-Did something happen?

-PD Kim Myung-heon has a very straightforward personality. My nickname in the studio is Nopaku, a real man… … . That’s the case in question.

Seeing how the group of directors, including Song Jae-hee, only gave good evaluations to those who belonged to their group, and kept those who did not, they said it openly in public.

-Don’t live like that!

Taeyeon let out a small sigh and asked.

“Is Song Jae-hee’s influence so strong?”

“I can’t say no. Because the head of the business team 1 and the two together said that they were next directors at Nexle, and their status was enormous.”

“Business team leader? What else does he have?”

“I am a direct junior brought by Lee Tae-young, director of the business. By the way, CEO Kim Myeong-guk, who is close to my brother, was the head of the 2nd business team. Dedicated to live headquarters.”

“Right. Then, can we say that those two are the best in the lower level of executives?”

“yes. I already made my own line, and I am receiving full support from the two directors, so no one dares to go against it.”

‘As the head of the IP business team… … .’

At this moment, Taeyeon felt it again.

‘I haven’t been interested in company politics in the slightest.’

It’s been a while since I joined the company, but I only found out about this now.

“Anyway, thanks for the good information. I will refer to it.”

* * *

As planned, we had lunch on Friday with PD Song Jae-hee.

An upscale Japanese restaurant a little far away.

‘This is it.’

It was a familiar place.

Song Jae-hee was confident.

“I got to know this place through the president, but it turned out that a very famous chef… … .”

“Oh, you found me again! I see you often these days!”

The chef and owner just came out of the kitchen and pretends to be friendly.

“Ah, yes… … .”

Song Jae-hee thought he was talking to himself and tried to answer with a bright face, but… … .

“It’s nice to hear that it’s a restaurant that Yoona Kim likes to eat, thanks to Taeyeon.”

The person the owner/chef welcomes is none other than Taeyeon.

“You brought a new guest today, so I will serve you myself. Please sit down and wait a moment. ha ha ha!”

Seeing Song Jae-hee’s bewildered gaze, Taeyeon spoke casually.

“Anyway, the boss seems to take good care of me.”

The conversation started in earnest with the meal.

“I will ask straight forward. Have you ever received an offer from the president for a development director or representative position?”

It was very blatant.

He looked straight into his intense eyes casually and replied.

“no. I have never received such an offer.”

“Are you willing to accept an offer?”

“… … .”

At this point, Taeyeon couldn’t help asking.

“Anyway, PD Song Jae-hee seems to want to become the CEO of Nexple.”

“That’s right. I accepted director Son Tae-young’s offer to join the company with that intention in the first place.”

“… … .”

“Please answer me now. Are you willing to accept the CEO offer?”

Taeyeon quietly chewed and swallowed the shrimp sushi before answering.

“If you answer that you are willing, do you intend to make a life-and-death decision with me?”

“… … !”

wiggling eyes.

Taeyeon continued talking indifferently.

“You got the wrong street number. If you do not know which way to go, I can teach you.”

Did that sound like a provocation?

“What are you going to teach me? … Let me tell you.”

Song Jae-hee asked with terrifying eyes.

“We’ve spent about 50 billion so far on the development of Elcross, right?”

“… … !”

“They say they plan to release it this Christmas, but considering marketing and other expenses that will be consumed afterwards, it will cost more than 70 billion won in total.”

Song Jae-hee bit his lip.

Taeyeon’s heavy voice and cold eyes were gradually pressing down on her heart.

“Recovering 70 billion won won’t be an easy task, but looking at producer Song Jae-hee doing this, it seems that he is very confident in box office success.”

“that… … Wouldn’t that be a problem for the chief to worry about?”

Words spat out like mad.

That touched Taeyeon’s heart.

“Where do you think all those development costs came from? Aren’t they all live headquarters?”

“… … !”

“Elcross. You will definitely have to succeed. Did you spend that much money and fail at the box office? You’d better be prepared.”

Overwhelmed by her charisma, Song Jae-hee felt her hair turn white.

“You, now is not the time to be distracted by other things. It’s not like you’re going to talk to me like that.”

Taeyeon is the general manager in charge of numerous live studios, and also the CEO of Nexple Entertainment, a huge affiliate.

It was never on an equal footing with a single producer.

Taeyeon growled for the first and last time.

“Wake. If you don’t want your hair to fly away right now.”

Even after Taeyeon left, Song Jaehee couldn’t move.

It was just a grin at the humiliation.
