After the last cold wave at the end of the month, the temperature quickly warmed up.
At the review meeting on March 1st, Bai Ge gave a passionate speech, giving special meaning to Yang Cheng Studio's demo.
In the past, Getian Technology would directly invest in the waterfall development process after establishing a project, promoting feature production from the demo, while ignoring what the overall game should look like.
Bai Ge believes that this is why when the project was established, according to the project proposal and the producer's description, there would be a huge difference between the appearance of the game imagined by the founders and what was actually produced later.
Starting from Yang Cheng Studio's "Monster Manual", Bai Ge has to change his approach. The three-month demo period focuses on what a game will look like in the end, using the strictest event script control to create high-fidelity customers.
The final effect.
This kind of demo completely ignores the server-side logic behind it, because as long as the client can do it, the server will cooperate with the communication, judgment, verification and specific rules. It is just a matter of development time. There is no technology that is difficult to break through.
Difficulty.
This can be regarded as hitting the key point of Getian Technology.
"Why are mature product managers in the Internet industry so good at making high-fidelity product prototypes?" Bai Ge opened some cross-industry cases in his PPT, "Don't they know that making high-fidelity prototypes is time-consuming and labor-intensive? Don't they
Don’t you want to save yourself some trouble and let downstream developers solve the details in production?”
Dayu, Lao Lu, and the studio producers they each supported looked at each other.
The producers of other incubator projects have relatively low say, and two producers who strongly agree with Baige have expressed their opinions.
"High fidelity itself is a highly realistic restoration of the final effect of the product. Product managers will do this because of industry and professional habits, and to show their abilities. The three are actually putting pressure on developers. They do
It must not be worse than the product manager’s prototype. The most important of the four is to ensure that subsequent development does not go astray and there is always a reliable comparison and basis.”
"In our game industry, planning is similar to product managers, but because there are many and complex types of planning, single-type planning does not have such a complete ability structure. Although the main planning ability is good, there are too many things to worry about... Actually
Every project in our company lacks the role of a real product manager, right?"
Bai Ge clapped his hands and applauded the two speeches, and then made a more sharp analysis.
"When many producers set up a project, they have no idea what the final product will look like. They are afraid that by making a high-fidelity prototype, others will lose their imagination and interest in their game. This is what is happening on the market.
There are so many big scams, but the reason why they can still thrive is because they are good at bragging, but not good at it, and they are even afraid of implementing it."
Bai Ge is one of the founders, so only he dares to say such things.
A table of producers, some of whom had suffered at the hands of their deceitful colleagues, began to applaud Bai Ge.
Of course, there are also some people who are really afraid of being forced out of their original shape by high-fidelity effects. Their faces are solemn, and they feel that their position as producers may be in jeopardy.
This speech of Bai Ge was recorded by Yang Cheng on his mobile phone and brought back to the studio to play again.
After listening to it, the people around the mobile phone had mixed emotions.
"As expected of a boss, he is also brave enough to speak out. How many producers will this offend?"
"If even Bai Ge is afraid of offending others, then who in Getian would dare to tell the truth?"
"I think what he said is quite right. Our studio is not afraid, hey." Ye Xiaopeng has a relatively active personality. He crossed his arms and started pretending, "We just made a high-fidelity client script execution demo. The final game will definitely be better than the demo."
Shi Ran had other ideas.
Bai Ge's words gave her some enlightenment. Thinking of Sheng Qian's big trick that squeezed Liu Yu away, wasn't he just the idiot Bai Ge said he only knew how to brag and didn't know how to implement?
The reason why this kind of big deceit can fish in troubled waters was not profound in the first place. After Bai Ge's speech, Shi Ran's thinking became clearer and he tried to summarize it for himself.
First, the contingency of the game industry. Whether a project can be successful or not, big factories, big investment, big-name producers, and a well-configured team can all increase the probability of success, but they do not mean that it will definitely succeed.
As long as the producer has a way to portray himself as a person with a high success rate, he can get the resources he wants. On the contrary, people who are very strong but not good at bragging about themselves often stumble on the road to losses.
Second, the game industry is not standardized enough. There are not so many recognized production standards in this industry, and each project has its own characteristics. It is not that everyone does not understand the role of high-fidelity prototypes, but that some people are always setting the pace. , to ignore the factual significance of embodying the original appearance of the game from the beginning.
Of course, these pacesetters have other agendas. Their sharp tongue and profit-seeking ambitions can always prevent the industry from becoming standardized.
Shi Ran remembered a case he had seen on the Internet before. There was a project that received a total investment of 30 million using only PPT and the producer's excellent on-site speech skills. However, after two years, the project was still a PPT. The investment money was taken away by the producer, and the family went abroad, and then disappeared.
Money can make the world go round.
Similar cases have been exposed everywhere on the Internet, but what about those who have not been linked to the Internet? People's hearts are not ancient. They are destroying an entire industry, but no one can expose their true colors in time, and it is even more difficult to carry out final punishment on them. sanctions.
A profitable industry, it is both extremely contingency and not so standardized, and its situation can be imagined.
Shi Ran understood, and everyone present must also understand.
The company's non-project executives are still in the conference room of the president's office, including Jiang Daxian. They want to discuss in detail whether the demo of "Monster Manual" can pass the review and enter the Alpha development stage.
Yang Cheng remained emotionally stable, smiled, put away his phone, and went back to the office to play with the cat.
Near noon, there was a rapid and heavy running sound in the corridor.
As the footsteps of "dong dong dong" approached, everyone raised their heads from their seats and stared in the direction of the door.
Bai Ge suddenly rushed in, his beard squeezed by a bright smile like an exploding kiwi fruit!
"Passed! Boys and girls! Our project has passed! Hahahaha!"
The heart hanging in Shi Ran's throat fell back into her chest with a pop, and the sound of a strong heartbeat rumbled in her ears.
Lin Feng stood up, "Passed it?!"
"Oh my god, I really passed!" Zhu Zhizhi excitedly threw herself on Shi Ran and hugged her, "All I have thought about these days is that I will definitely not pass. How can we pass what we made in such a short time? But
...It’s really over! Shi Ran! We’ve passed it!!”
Miao Manman's tears were very low. She hugged Shi Ran's arm with red eyes, "That's great! Woo hoo hoo... I'm scared to death. I'm afraid that if I can't pass this time, Uncle Yang will be very sad...
"
"Salary is due on the 10th. You will have an extra bonus on your payslip. Why don't you get up and cheer? What are you waiting for?!" Bai Ge raised his fists high, "Yang Cheng Studio is awesome!"
At this time, regardless of gender, no matter how much effort they put into this demo, even Zheng Yongchun jumped up.
Everyone shouted loudly, "Awesome! We are so awesome!"
