Chapter 9 You write the new version plan!
Xiong Kai felt that it was just taking this opportunity to show it: "Sir Liu, I have added background stories to all the mechas and drivers. If you work overtime in the past two days, you should be able to complete it before the new version is launched, and it should also play a role."
Liu Yuxin nodded: "Okay, I hope."
Of course, Liu Yuxin knew that these so-called "background stories" were useless. When playing games on the bracelet, who would look through the background story of each mecha? It was pure text information and looked dizzy.
It would be even more fantastic to expect players to pay for these background stories.
However, as a world architect, Xiong Kai takes the initiative to do these things and is considered to be serious and responsible for his work. This attitude should be encouraged.
Liu Yuxin suddenly remembered Zhong Ming and asked Xiong Kai: "Why is that new intern, Zhong Ming, performing today?"
"Uh... Today, I took him to familiarize himself with the project and told him a lot of things, but..." Xiong Kai paused deliberately, "I just felt that he might not have entered the role yet, and he left without saying hello after work. Maybe this is a common problem for fresh graduates, haha."
Xiong Kai was an excuse to Zhong Ming on the surface, but in fact, the sound of "haha" is more fake, and it is more fake.
"Oh." Liu Yuxin was a little disappointed. "Maybe he hasn't adjusted his mentality yet. After all, he has just graduated and does not have the dedication of hard work like you. By the way, he is a very talented person and should have good abilities. You can assign him more tasks and exercise."
Zhou Zhen nodded: "I didn't ask about this, let's see what work Xiong Kai gave him. Xiong Kai, don't you write a lot of text materials such as background stories for the mecha? Otherwise, you can give it to him? You won't have to be so tired."
Xiong Kai suddenly had an idea.
Leave these simpler work on your hands to Zhong Ming?
Writing the background story of a mecha? Drawing a concept picture of a mecha? Or designing a small function?
For Zhong Ming, it is probably not difficult!
Xiong Kai had noticed that Liu Yuxin valued Zhong Ming very much, and repeatedly emphasized that he was "talented". Combined with today's contact, maybe Zhong Ming is really talented.
Then I will give him the job, but he will finish it very beautifully. Isn’t this situation embarrassing?
I have long heard that Zhong Ming’s interview position is a world architect. If he does better than himself, how can Xiong Kai do this?
So Xiong Kai thought about it and came up with an idea.
"Supervisor Liu, that's what I think. At present, the work I have on hand is basically almost completed in this version, and those that have not been completed are all halfway through and can't be given out."
"Or it would be like this. I think Zhong Ming just graduated from school and is still a newcomer. He may not have so many fixed-lines of thinking, and maybe he has some good ideas. Otherwise, let him write a plan for the next version, what do you think?"
Liu Yuxin was stunned for a moment: "version planning? This is too difficult for him, a newcomer, right?"
"The difficulty is definitely a little high, but there is no need to be such a high requirement." Xiong Kai continued to fool him, "We don't have to adopt his plan. I just said that he would write it first, and after it is written, I will see if there are any good ideas. If there are good ideas, maybe it can be put into the next version of the development plan."
Liu Yuxin looked at Zhou Zhen: "What do you think?"
Zhou Zhen was a little hesitant: "I still feel that it is too difficult to arrange such a job for an intern? But I think what Xiong Kai said makes sense. There is really no other job for him now."
Liu Yu made a new decision: "Okay, then give him this job."
Xiong Kai was proud of him. I can’t arrange for you as an intern?
Version planning is simple and difficult.
To say it is simple, it is actually nothing more than a table, planning what new functions to be made in the next version, and estimating the development time and investment of each function, which can also be regarded as a work plan.
It is said that it is difficult because this thing is not something newcomers can do.
The premise of planning the version is to have a very deep understanding of the game, know what the current defects of the game are and what players need.
Otherwise, you have planned a bunch of useless functions, so won’t you add to the workload for others?
For version planning, just take it out and give it to others in the project and you will immediately see if there is any problem with what you wrote.
Moreover, the deep content of the version planning cannot be done by a table. For example, if you want to develop three new functions, you have to have a general idea of these three new functions? You even have to consider some more detailed things in advance, otherwise, once the version planning is taken out and the program or other designers ask you in one sentence, isn’t that embarrassing?
Liu Yuxin meant that if Zhong Ming tried to do a version plan, it wouldn't matter if it didn't look very formal. Anyway, there was no job that could be assigned to him now, so just treat it as a practice for him.
But Xiong Kai doesn't think so. Once the work arrangement is carried out, there must be a work summary and results. Once the results are taken out, the version planning is nothing. Zhong Ming will definitely make a joke in front of everyone.
...
The next morning, Zhong Ming arrived at the company on time.
Xiong Kai next to him had not arrived yet, and he was more than an hour late before he arrived late.
Like many companies, Guangyi Interactive Entertainment has a flexible working system. The clock in time is 9 hours a day (1 hour is lunch time). The excess is considered overtime and the overtime pay is given depending on the situation (each project has different regulations).
In fact, Xiong Kai doesn't necessarily have much overtime, but he gets off work late at night. Every time Liu Yu leaves, he is still there, creating the illusion that he has been working hard to work overtime.
Zhong Ming was still looking through the design documents and playing the game "Mecha Age". He had a freak with Xiong Kai yesterday. Anyway, Xiong Kai didn't take the initiative to talk to him, and he didn't plan to pay attention to Xiong Kai.
As a result, Xiong Kai actually came to him on his own initiative, and his attitude seemed to ease.
"Zhong Ming, you said the job you gave you yesterday does not belong to your work scope. Then today's job must be within your work scope. Yesterday, Manager Liu told me that you would like to write a plan for the next version."
Zhong Ming was a little surprised. What is the next version planning?
For version planning, it is usually written by the main designer!
Zhong Ming knew very well that this version will be launched tomorrow, and the current version plan was written by Xiong Kai and modified by Zhou Zhen. These can be found in the project file.
How can I write the next version plan? And it was requested by Manager Liu?
Xiong Kai continued: "Oh, I know that this work may be quite confused for you. It's okay, you don't have to take it too seriously, just write it casually. The main reason is that the development progress of this version is almost completed, and there is really no work to give you."
Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Xiong Kai was very happy: "Okay, then I will write this to my work plan next week. Come on, come on."
Zhong Ming ignored him again. Judging from Xiong Kai's attitude, there must be a pitfall.
Since it is something that Liu Yuxin knows and has written it into the work plan, this version of the plan is definitely not a "spoken writing".
Chapter completed!
