The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

53. expansion

Jaehwan Kim was a programmer at ‘Bastian Studio’, a game company that was newly founded last month.

My previous job was Nexple Entertainment, which has been buzzing lately. He was one of the developers of Disney Fantastic World, which brought a new wind to the domestic game industry.

‘not now but.’

It’s only been a month since I moved to a new company.

I haven’t even started anything yet, and this is understandable, but… … .

‘It seems like I just transferred. to just stay… … .’

The trigger that made my mind flustered was the recent pouring articles about Nexple Entertainment and the news I had heard.

‘I received stock options for 50 million won per person as the third incentive… … .’

In addition, by renewing the annual salary contract, all Disney Fantastic World developers renewed the contract with 125 million won.

– What, what is the amount?

-He said he would take care of 100 million excluding tax, so this is the amount. ha ha ha!

It felt like a million dollars were about to collapse.

‘If I had stayed, by now… … !’

More than 100 million in total incentives and stock options. He would have received several benefits for his annual salary of 100 million won.

And that’s not all.

[Neckple Entertainment office building separation. Expand the size of the company!]

There was an article about finding a new office building in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam, and moving away from the headquarters to become independent.

[Korean fantasy. Making ‘Lunar of the Moon’ as an aaa-level game!]

This was shocking news enough to shake the entire industry.

However, this is not the only reason for the separation and expansion of the office building.

Just because of this.

Rumor has it that the annual salary of all Disney Fantastic World developers is set at over 100 million, which is related to this.

It means being involved in content development.

Rumors are also spreading that Disney may participate in the media adaptation of Disney Fantastic World.

‘No matter how much I thought about it, I should have stayed.’

On the other hand, Taeyeon Yoo was resentful.

‘If I had held on to you once when I said I was going out and tipped off this kind of information… … .’

If so, I wouldn’t have resigned!

Tring!

A text has arrived.

He was a former program teammate who transferred to a new project for Nerosoft, a Nexle competitor.

‘still… … .’

have hope

It didn’t come out bad either.

‘Did you like the atmosphere? If I exaggerate a little, we are harmonious like a family, we all got along well, we went to the theater together… … .’

so… … .

‘Won’t they accept me if I go back?’

Yoo Taeyeon.

Others say he is a grim reaper or ruthless, but he knows it. The truth is that he is a warm-hearted person and more than anyone else, he is a person who gives for the developers he works with.

He might be warmly received.

“… … .”

Look around.

Venture office of Guro Digital Corporation.

It’s not a bad environment, but it’s shabby when you think about where you worked before.

I had all sorts of thoughts.

at last.

“Even if it’s just contact… … .”

Carefully, I called someone.

After a while.

“Oh, hello. PD. I am the programmer Jaehwan Kim. there maybe… … .”

* * *

The program team leader asked Taeyeon, who was sighing after the call.

“Is this a call from an employee who left the company again?”

“yes.”

“anyway… … .”

The head of the tongue-in-cheek program.

Taeyeon kept quiet about her opponent.

The programmer Kim Jae-hwan, who just finished the call, was a talented person who was directly selected and taught by the program team leader in front of him.

When Kim Jae-hwan left the company, I remembered how he caught me several times and let me go with great regret.

The head of the server part next to him sighed and said.

“I’m transferring after finishing the project. It’s not something to be seen badly, it’s a very natural and obvious fact… … It doesn’t feel good to do this now. All the people I’ve called so far received good offers and left the company of their own choice.”

The part leader and team leader who ate together agreed and voiced their voices.

Hong Min-seok AD does not defend, but defends.

“Let’s understand. Aren’t we in a state of bewilderment even after receiving the benefits?”

People who agree with that statement.

What they received was not simply a matter of compensation.

future!

It was like being given clear guidance on what to live for in the future.

“I will bury my bones in this company.”

“me too.”

While listening to the pledges of the core personnel of Neckple Entertainment, Taeyeon’s expression did not know how to straighten.

Hong Min-seok, who saw through to some extent the reason, spoke softly.

“Don’t worry too much about it. It wasn’t that I hated them and turned down the request, it was that I had no choice but to do so.”

Requests poured in after articles started to go out.

– Can we go back?

But Taeyeon couldn’t accept them.

Because TO is full.

Even those who filled their void were those with much better skills and experience than them.

‘The cut-off line naturally rose.’

Disney Fantastic World’s run to the jackpot brought several things.

From nob le mt l dot com

Money, prestige, expansion of company size and so on.

Among them, the one that touches the skin the most is ‘Envy’.

A lot of people started to envy this place.

Recently, requests from real exhaust developers who had to go abroad due to unavoidable circumstances were pouring in.

If possible, I would like to come back to Korea and work.

can you accept me?

As a result, the required specifications naturally increased.

If they want to come back… … There is only one way.

Accomplish the purpose you had when you left the company, and become a star developer recognized by everyone.

‘It’s not possible to run the company as the CEO wants.’

Even the administrative work was separated from the Neckple head office, and the position was filled by the best career elites… … .

‘If fate comes into contact, the day will come when we can be together again.’

Folding away the regrets and burying them in one side of her heart, Taeyeon focused on the colleagues in front of her right now.

“Shall we just have one cold beer each?”

“Oh oh! great!”

“I vehemently agree!”

“Long live PD!”

* * *

-hey. Transfer the company separation.

-… … ?

– There’s no more room to accommodate them in the headquarters building. you have to go out We will provide you with any amount of settlement money, so find out where you want, by building.

What came to mind at Chairman Yoo Jin-seong’s suggestion was to get out of Pangyo!

Although there are many IT companies, the traffic is not very good. Considering various conditions, there is no better area than Gangnam.

‘Once it’s close to my house… … .’

Infrastructure, accessibility, etc… … Best in every way

‘It’s not that traditional companies have their headquarters in Gangnam for nothing.’

First of all, Chairman Yoo Jin-seong said he would support him as much as he wanted… … .

We worked hard to find a place in Yeoksam-dong, with a good location, a spacious space, a strong interior and exterior, and a neat place.

– Son, you have eyes to see.

The pre-separation work thus started.

-Make a lot of money and buy this building. It would be nice if this building was your company’s headquarters. Or even build a new one at all.

I also have a new goal.

One day, we will have our own complete office building… … .

I had to hurry a bit.

Even at this moment, new employees were still joining the company.

We selected a remodeling company and consulted with designers to accelerate the separation and relocation of the office building.

That’s how the previous work is done.

“Wow, I think the quality of my company life has improved somehow!”

“I’m sorry to the people at headquarters… … It’s definitely nice to like Gangnam!”

“Everyone had a reason to shout Gangnam Gangnam!”

The faces of the staff were lively.

and.

‘I’m sure I’m going to commute near my house, so I’m sure I’m tired… … .’

Taeyeon could also sympathize with that feeling.

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong visited the company.

“hey. good night! Did you do better than headquarters?”

“ADs have been very active. I was actively involved in the interior.”

“Did you know you could do something like that?”

“I’ve done it a lot at home, and especially in the case of Hong Min-seok’s AD, it is said that interior design was a minor during college. There were times when I went to private academies in the United States to study.”

“Why did you do that? Because of the art direction?”

“Because you can create better results when you have a lot of knowledge and experience in the related field.”

“Yeah. It wouldn’t be easy to do that… … Did you catch a really great person?”

“That’s why I’m holding on to it so that it doesn’t go anywhere.”

President Jinsung Yoo laughed happily at Taeyeon’s non-joke.

A guide to the office building for Chairman Jin-Sung Yoo and executives has begun.

“We didn’t bother to build a cafeteria and cafeteria. There are so many good places nearby, so we paid extra welfare expenses so that you can use the places you want as much as you like.”

“Hey, wouldn’t it be nice to have at least one of the two?”

“It is unnecessary. It’s better to just provide food and snack expenses separately every month. If you build a facility, hire people, and contract with a company to operate it… … .”

Taeyeon shook her head.

“I don’t want to waste a lot of time on things other than development.”

Seeing Taeyeon’s resolute appearance, everyone was at a loss for words for a moment.

one of the executives asked.

“… … Are the employees satisfied?”

“yes. Rather good.”

“really?”

“This is Gangnam Style.”

“Oh oh!”

“All brand coffees including Starbucks are gathered, and there are famous franchise restaurants and restaurants… … There are so many good places. It’s been a long time since I came to the middle of Korea’s best infrastructure… … It is better to let them use it.”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong asked director Son Young-sang, who was next to him.

“Hey, shall we build a big office building in Gangnam?”

“If you had a lot of money, would you do that?”

“This child… … do you think i can’t hey! If I exit my stock just a little bit, I can build an office building that surpasses Jamsil L Tower!”

“Let’s not even talk about things that won’t happen. You’re not going to do that anyway. It’s not like I’m going to beat myself up and pour it.”

“… … .”

“Taeyeon. Show the staff how they work.”

“… … Are you all right?”

“You are not at work. doesn’t care.”

If it was private, not business, it was Son Young-sang, the world’s most majestic director.

After touring the office building, Taeyeon spoke about the company’s future blueprint in the conference room.

“The essence is a game company, but we plan to grow into a comprehensive content company that encompasses media, theme parks, and snack culture by expanding the scale.”

The current production has been decided, or the projects that are already in progress are disclosed.

“The Elcross renewal work is actively underway with the goal of reopening in the first quarter of next year. Pantheon has completed the first field, is in the process of polishing, and is building the second field. At this rate, we could be pumping out specs ready for closed beta testing in two years from now.”

“How many people are on the Pantheon development team?

“There are a total of 95 people in development at this point, and there are plans to potentially expand to 120 people. Elcross has also expanded its staff and is recruiting for a total of 70 people.”

Besides, there were many other things.

Like the progress of the content platform ＜Milky Way＞.

The issue of establishing a content development team at Gwacheon Disneyland, which started in earnest a while ago.

Director Lee Tae-young, who was watching, said a word.

“Isn’t it amazing to see Yoo Tae-yeon as representative? There is nothing small about any of them, but they proceed easily as if they were handling chores… … .”

While everyone nodded their heads in sympathy, Chairman Yoo Jin-seong also said a word.

“With this level of ability, we can entrust our company with future food businesses. You guys cooperate well with Taeyeon too. Don’t be ashamed of yourself by making fun of yourself.”

warning.

At this moment, everyone thought to themselves.

‘Is there really anyone like that?’

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong, who read the air flow, said with a smile.

“Let’s hear something like a final resolution.”

Resolution.

Taeyeon said calmly.

“We will make Nepple Entertainment the world’s largest content company.”
