Chapter 12 Pot-sharing Conference

Although the new version has always been vigorously promoted by Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai, the new version is equally important to others.

Why?

Because this new version consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, the design team, art team and program team have worked overtime recently, and everyone has worked hard.

If the new version is successful and the project's revenue increases, everyone can get the bonus, and it will naturally be happy; but if the new version is not successful and the project's revenue will still decline, it will be equivalent to all of our efforts being wasted.

Moreover, the programs, the original drawings, and the design documents written basically have no possibility of reuse, which means that everything is wasted.

Therefore, everyone in the design team looked very good, and the atmosphere in the program team and the art team is not bad for the time being, but that is just because they don’t know the news yet.

Zhong Ming was still looking through the design documents, as if what was happening in the project had nothing to do with him.

The new version of Xiong Kai is already upset enough, so he is not in the mood to pay attention to Zhong Ming anymore. He just kept brushing the data, hoping for a miracle to happen.

When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai were called away, obviously going to Liu Yuxin's office.

By this time, the data trend has basically become clear. It seems that there is no turning point, and there is no turning point.

Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai may not be scolded when they are called, but they may not be praised.

After all, the entire new version was made by Liu Yu. From the company's perspective, the failure of the new version is the responsibility of the supervisor Liu Yuxin; but from Liu Yuxin's perspective, this responsibility should be Xiong Kai.

Around tomorrow, the new version of the matter has to be told to other people in the project, and even if you don’t say it, everyone will know that it cannot be hidden.

The two of them went there for more than an hour and didn't see each other until after get off work. They probably received a lot of criticism.

Zhong Ming still uses his fine traditions to get off work at the right time and never stay for a minute.

On the way back, Zhong Ming opened the official forum of "Mecha Age" to view players' comments on the new version.

After all, it is a project that is about to be in a mess. There are not many posts on the entire forum. There are several posts posted by the administrator. It has been two or three weeks since it was still on the first page.

However, Zhong Ming still found several comments from players, which basically represent the players' attitude towards the new version.

"I logged in in the morning and took a look. I was quite looking forward to the new version, but after I went online, I found it was boring! What the hell has been updated!"

"It's a good thing to launch a new mecha, but I really can't do it anymore. There are only three or five living people in the guild now. Who will I show you when I have a new mecha? I asked if the design team can use their brains and start a campaign like the return of old players to save it?"

"I feel like this game is really going to be cold, and this feeling is even more obvious after the update version."

"A new mecha background story has been added? Is this a joke here? Whoever wants to read the background story? The key is that you wrote it very trash!"

"Oh, now the updated version is all recharged, krypton gold activities, and I almost wrote 'I want to make money' on my face. I feel like the design team is helpless. The current mentality is to make the last purchase and run away. Don't expect it, everyone should leave the tour as soon as possible."

Most players’ remarks are relatively restrained, but overall there is only one atmosphere: disappointment!

Players were originally looking forward to the new version, but after seeing the new version, there was a huge psychological gap, which would further prompt more players to get out of the trap.

Moreover, in order to increase revenue and increase profits in this new version, both new functions are related to krypton gold. The cool new mecha also needs krypton gold to obtain, which further stimulates the players' rebellious psychology.

Now "Mecha Era" has inevitably fallen into a dead cycle, with poor income. The design team wants to increase revenue by joining the krypton gold event and strive for more resources to the company. However, the krypton gold event further persuades players to withdraw, resulting in a decline in revenue again...

Moreover, once the trend of players collectively withdrawing from the game appears, it is like an avalanche, and it will be difficult to save it.

When he got home, Zhong Ming made some supper by himself, then opened the hand-painted board and continued to complete the original painting he was busy with during the day.

In fact, many design ideas are already available now, but they need to be turned into specific solutions.

...

The next day, Zhong Ming had breakfast at home and arrived at the company on time.

Guangyi Interactive Entertainment has an employee restaurant here, which is much cheaper than eating in an outside restaurant, but it is still a bit expensive for Zhong Ming. So Zhong Ming still cooks two meals at home in the morning and evening, and only eats in the employee restaurant at noon.

This morning, everyone came very much because it was Friday and there was a regular meeting.

Regular meetings are internal regulations of the company, and each company is different, and even different projects are different.

The regular meeting of the "Mecha Era" project under the charge of the director Liu is divided into two sessions. From 10:00 to 12:00 am, the regular meeting of the person in charge, the person in charge of the design group, the program group and the art group, and the person in charge of Liu Yuxin, were held, all of which were talking about some relatively macro issues; from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, the regular meetings of each department were held separately, mainly the department heads assigned department tasks.

The regular meeting on Friday is equivalent to summarizing the work of this week. Everyone must submit a work report before the meeting. After that, the heads of each department must formulate a work plan for the next week, and no one is allowed to be late.

Of course, Zhong Ming did not have the regular meeting of the person in charge in the morning, so he continued to be busy with his own affairs. Xiong Kai, as a world architect, also had to attend the regular meeting of the person in charge. No one was bothering Zhong Ming, which was very comfortable.

Until lunch, the regular meeting was not over.

Last night and this morning, Zhong Ming almost finished what he wanted to draw, and the other contents were planned almost well planned. He looked up at the watch and at 12:10, he just got up and went to the staff restaurant for lunch.

After lunch, we came back until around 1:50, the door of the conference room was opened, and the people in charge came out.

It can be seen that all these people have bad expressions. It may not be because of the reason for being scolded, and part of the reason is because of hunger.

The department meeting will be held at 2 o'clock, and the people in charge can only continue to be hungry. Those who don't like breakfast like Xiong Kai are even worse. They feel hungry and their faces are green, but he dare not say anything. After all, if the failure of the new version is counted, he will be very troublesome.

The other members of the project knew as soon as they saw the people in charge, that the new version must have not been completed!

In fact, everyone could feel this cool atmosphere from the game and the forum before, but now the data is coming out, and the last glimmer of hope is wiped out.
Chapter completed!
