Chapter 91: Humanity's Defeat
The studio is going to promote new management!
All the old employees of Honghuang who received the news were excited.
They thought that they would have to work in the studio for at least several years, or even longer, before they could get a chance for promotion.
Now, only more than half a year has passed, and this opportunity has fallen upon them, making them unable to sit still.
"Boss Song, did Mr. Chen really say that just now?"
In the conference room, a group of old employees looked at Lao Song eagerly.
"Yes, I have confirmed it with Mr. Chen."
Old Song looked around at the people with a smile on his face and said, "Because of the expansion, two more team leaders will be added to both Dawn and Breaking Dawn to be responsible for the daily project work."
" This is a decision made by President Chen because of your great contributions to the studio. You must grasp it well and don't embarrass our team."
"Very good!"
The old employees clenched their fists and were very excited.
Although he is only a team leader, it is a real promotion in position and a real increase in salary and benefits.
Wasn't it just for this opportunity that they made the unwavering choice to stay in Honghuang?
There is a boss who gives priority to his subordinates.
It’s so cool!
"Then...did Mr. Chen tell us the assessment criteria? What does it take to run for team leader?" someone asked immediately.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's heart tightened and their attention turned to Old Song again.
"Yes."
Old Song cleared his throat and said seriously, "We have recruited quite a few new people for this staff expansion. Mr. Chen wants each of you to bring a few people to make a small game together. The market response of the content produced by each group will become the most important indicator for your assessment."
“Make a mini game!”
Everyone present was shocked.
This is indeed the fairest and most effective assessment .
Because it concerns market response, it’s not just about who does it well.
You have to take all aspects into consideration, which is indeed an important indicator for becoming a team leader.
Even if we lose then, there will be nothing to complain about.
However, they still had a question in their minds, and couldn't help asking, "Since we are making the same game, how should we divide the work? It's hard to judge the content of the same game, right?"
There are so many things a game can do.
Such as art, modeling, object collision and so on.
If two groups work together, how can we tell who is good and who is bad?
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen has already considered this."
As if he had known they would ask this question, Old Song smiled and said, "This time, the plan is to develop an independent level-breaking game. All you have to do is develop various levels. When the time comes, we will directly use the ratings and popularity of each level as the standard."
As he spoke, he turned on the screen and projected the prepared plan onto it.
【Game: Human: Fall Flat】
[Introduction: A lighthearted and funny sand sculpture game. The game scene takes place in a misty dream. Players can play alone or play with up to eight people online. ]
[Type: level-breaking, multiplayer, puzzle, fun]
[Price: To be determined]
There is also a design drawing below the game introduction.
Under a crudely modeled laser tower, eight characters of different shapes, as soft as rubber men, were scattered around, holding all kinds of strange props in their hands.
ah?
What is this?
The employees were full of questions and frowned as they looked at the crude picture that looked like it was made with their feet after three years of learning modeling.
"Song... Boss Song, are you sure you didn't put the wrong picture?"
Finally someone couldn't help but ask.
This is no longer a question of whether it is simple or not. It is simply that the modeling skills are not up to par and it was just made by messing around with the software.
It looks like a primitive and simple beauty.
That's the extent.
Not to mention them, I guess even the newcomers who just came in can get started easily.
"Don't look at me, this is the plan that Mr. Chen came up with."
Facing these suspicious looks, Old Song shrugged and said, "Mr. Chen's ideas are always so new and strange. You don't have to worry about it. It's just an assessment anyway. Don't expect to make a lot of money, just make a profit."
"So, as long as the level we design has the highest score and popularity, we can be promoted to team leader?"
"Yes, I am sure of that. Any other questions?"
Old Song looked around and saw that no one asked any more questions, so he said, "Okay, let's get ready and make the most of this opportunity."
After saying that, he left the meeting room directly, leaving a group of old employees talking about it.
Looking at the game plan on the screen, his expression was both expectant and conflicted.
But for this rare opportunity, they have no choice but to fight.
After recording the content, he hurriedly left the meeting room and went outside to select suitable new people.
…
"Master, is this really the game we are going to play next?"
Inside the Dawn team.
The newcomers who were called together all had frowns on their faces and looked at the design plans and sketches on the computer with some hesitation.
How come this seems...
Is it different from what they learned in school?
If their master hadn't said it himself, they wouldn't even dare to believe that this was made by the boss.
"Alright, just do it. Although this plan seems a little...special, it also has its advantages, ahem."
One of the old employees coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
With their current production level and the power of Honghuang's self-developed engine, making this kind of game is simply a waste of talent.
But after all, it concerns my own future.
I can only risk it.
"advantage……"
The newlyweds were all frowning and looked at the computer again.
They really can't see what's good about this game.
Isn’t it just a very simple rubber man level-breaking game?
What's more, the levels are made up of various box models, and you can find a lot of materials by searching on the Internet, so even people of their level can easily handle it.
Use this for their onboarding assessment.
Wouldn’t that be a bit too casual?
It is also said that it concerns the promotion of old employees.
I really don't understand what the boss is thinking.
Just at this moment.
After finishing his discussion, Old Li passed by, came over to take a look, and also laughed out loud.
"Haha, Guang, is this the game you're going to make ? This weird thing looks pretty unique, but I wonder if it can be sold."
His laughter was loud and full of gloating, and he didn't look like a team leader at all.
It was because these guys had been teasing him about the failure of his Only up.
Now the situation has changed and it is finally these guys' turn to suffer.
I felt so happy.
A Guang and his friends who were familiar with him blushed: "Just wait until this game we made becomes popular, then don't be jealous!"
"Okay, I'll wait. I want to see what I can come up with with such a simple game. If I can really produce results, I'll treat you to a meal."
"You said it, everyone, work harder and make Old Li bankrupt!"
Amid the cursing, A Guang and the others sat back in their seats.
I started making the game with great enthusiasm, preparing to make a splash at this Independent Games Festival.
