Chapter 79 The situation is very serious
Zhong Ming stood up from the sofa and shook hands with Zhu Yang.
"I'm lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be kicked on the shelves. Let's work together in the future." Zhu Yang's attitude was very modest, or too modest, and he seemed a little weak.
Manager Xie said happily: "Okay, Zhu Yang, take Xiao Zhong to his workstation. First, get familiar with the work and know everyone else. Xiao Zhong is the person whom President Lu specially asked us for the project. President Lu praised him for being very talented and a good seedling. Don't bury him."
Zhu Yang nodded: "Hey, thank you, please don't worry."
Zhu Yang led Zhong Ming away from Director Xie's office and walked towards his own workstation.
Walking on the road, Zhong Ming looked around, and the project team was very mini.
There are several projects on this floor. Zhong Ming’s current project team is just one of them. There are only a dozen people who add one piece, four designs, two arts, five programs, and some people in charge of other trivial work, all of them are in charge of all the staff.
Among these four designs, Zhu Yang is the main designer, Zhang Xiaowen is the intern, and there is also a value, plus Zhong Ming, which is the entire staff of the design team.
There are two arts, one is responsible for interface UI design, and the other is the main art, responsible for other art resources.
When he came to the project team, Zhu Yang briefly introduced several core members of the project to Zhong Ming, that is, those who need to deal with frequently in the future.
"This is the main art of our project, Lao Li."
"This is the main program, Brother Dahui."
"This is the value of our design group..."
"Good luck."
After introducing them one by one, Zhong Ming came to his work station to sit down, and Zhu Yang began to arrange work for him.
"Our project is an educational game. The original design was inconsistent with the educational institutions and I listened to a lot of their opinions, but you should have known what happened later, so the game itself has also made a lot of modifications. In short, I have prepared a bracelet for you. You can experience the game first, then look through the design documents, and I will talk about your work tomorrow."
Zhu Yang handed Zhong Ming a test bracelet and continued to work on his own affairs.
Now Zhong Ming has a rough understanding of this project.
Simply put, this is basically a project with no future. It was originally a game tailored to customers with stupid money, but the educational institution went bankrupt, which was like a waste of work.
But it is impossible to say that the project done is overwhelmed like this, right? So the senior executives of Guangyi Interactive Entertainment decided to let this game be viewed on the game market. If you can make a little money, you won’t cut it first.
However, the goal of "making a little money" is difficult enough to Zhong Ming...
He turned on the test bracelet and ran the game a little.
Five minutes later.
Zhong Ming was sure that if he could make money in this game, he would rather hit him and die on the tofu.
This is a teaching software for children!
Wearing the skin of the game, what the hell is actually there!
Feed animals: Feed the small animal the food it likes to eat.
Install building blocks: Install building blocks of the right shape in a specific location.
Compare: Find the largest/massest/slowest… in a bunch of objects.
Find a location: On a road surface, put various means of transportation where they should drive.
...
There are many other games like this, in addition to math training, right brain training, literacy, simple drawing, etc. The most shocking thing is that there are children's songs, and some very simple mini games, such as watching fruits, which help children quickly remember various fruits...
There are quite a variety of tricks, but the question is, who can play this kind of thing...
After looking through the previous design documents, Zhong Ming roughly understood that many of these contents were required by the educational institution, which means that this is the product of an outsider guiding an expert, and it is not easy to persist to this level.
No wonder the main designer was going to run away before. Even if this project is made and launched, it will not help the resume...
Moreover, judging from the situation of this project, it is estimated that the previous main designer was exhausted and ran away. Judging from Manager Xie's appearance, he was just a hand-off manager and a Buddhist leader. He probably couldn't give any constructive opinions in normal times. Zhu Yang couldn't say that he was not serious about his work, but this was obviously a person who could only do something. There was no problem with sharing the work, so he didn't expect to share the pressure. The other two were responsible for the numbers, and the other was just an intern who did odd jobs, so he couldn't help.
And what value does this game require? The position is a value, but it is actually used by a system designer or functional designer.
It is conceivable that the main designer had suffered from this project before, so he couldn't bear it and left...
Zhong Ming drank a sip of water silently. The situation was much more serious than he thought.
I feel that there is no need to save this project, so it is recommended to bury it on the spot?
It’s not that Zhong Ming discriminates against a certain type of game, but the only way to make money for this so-called educational game is to cooperate with certain educational institutions. In fact, this project can make a small profit, but once that educational institution goes bankrupt, it will be difficult for it to take over if it wants to take over.
Now, even if all the games are tested, there is no bug, and it will be a failure if you enter the game market.
Elementary school students don’t like to play!
Zhong Ming felt that the pressure was very high. If the project was not profitable, it meant that there was no bonus.
No bonus... How uncomfortable it was to have that day!
How can this work?
His salary has been raised now, and after becoming a regular employee, he was promoted. According to the internal standards of Guangyi Interactive Entertainment, his salary was raised to 7,000 per month, which can be said to be very good. Of course, it is still slightly lower than Xiong Kai's kind. After all, his project is in a downturn and his working years are not enough.
Some of the salary in Guangyi Interactive Entertainment is paid based on the years. Zhong Ming has only worked for more than a month, so his salary can of course be based on the minimum standard for each position.
If you follow the normal script process, Zhong Ming’s next job is to think of some more mentally retarded new gameplay, enrich the content library of this game, then change the packaging of other gameplay, then make some suggestions for modification, fix bugs, and finally wait until the game is online and then leave it to fate.
But Zhong Ming certainly doesn't want to follow this script to continue. He knows that moving forward is a dead end, but he keeps moving forward. Isn't that too hard? He is completely wasting his life.
Zhong Ming was thinking about how to pull out this project that was about to be buried and rescued...
...
The day passed quickly.
At noon, Zhu Yang greeted Zhong Ming enthusiastically, and Zhang Xiaowen and others went to the company cafeteria to have dinner together. It can be seen that the atmosphere inside the entire project was quite harmonious, and there was no particularly sad or desperate feeling.
As for why... it may be because people who can stay until now are less conscientious...
Obviously, people who realized that this project was destined to be in a bad mood have already run away. For example, the previous main designers, who have stayed now, are people who have never thought about the future of the project, just waiting for the project to be launched and left to fate. In other words, they are all very worried.
