Ye Zhizhou followed the address given by Lin Wan and came to the office of Chi Xing Studio.
After Lin Wan left Yangyang Games, Ye Zhizhou took over as the new person in charge of Yangyang Games, and the employees of Yangyang Games had also had a breakup meal with Lin Wan.
Although they were a little reluctant to give up, as the saying goes, there is no feast that lasts forever, and job transfers within Tenda Group have always been very frequent. Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin also knew that they would have to take over sooner or later, so they were not too sad.
What's more, the office of Chi Xing Studio is also in Jingzhou, which is not far from Yangyang Games. You can visit frequently, and there will be many opportunities to meet in the future.
Ye Zhizhou came here today to finalize the new game of Chi Xing Studio with Lin Wan.
Mr. Pei has previously determined that the first game of Chi Xing Studio will be a VR game, but the details of the design of this game have not yet been finalized.
Ye Zhizhou is here to help make decisions.
As far as Ye Zhizhou knew, in addition to him and Lin Wan, there was also a product manager from Shenhua's mobile phone department responsible for developing VR glasses, as well as a new chief planner recruited by Chi Xing Studio.
Finalize the name and details of the game so that Chi Xing Studio can get on the right track as soon as possible. Sometimes entering the development process as quickly as possible is the best way to get the team together.
Ye Zhizhou came to Chi Xing's studio and subconsciously looked at the working environment.
Well, as expected, it is in the same vein as Tenda Games and Changyang Games.
Although Chi Xing Studio has just been established not long ago, there are already employees working at the workstations. I have to say that the recruitment efficiency is quite high.
Ye Zhizhou came to the conference room and sat down in the empty seat.
Lin Wan was carefully flipping through a thick pile of resumes, picking out the ones that met the requirements and setting them aside, preparing to invite them for interviews.
Seeing that everyone was here, Lin Wan packed up her resume a little and poked at the conference table: "Everyone is here, let's hurry up and get started. There are still a few interviews in the afternoon."
Ye Zhizhou found that Lin Wan seemed to be becoming more and more disciplined. When he first arrived at Yangyang Games, he often hesitated and couldn't make up his mind, but now he is becoming more and more like a qualified leader.
"You are very efficient here. In just three days, new employees have already joined?" Ye Zhizhou said after taking a sip of tea.
Lin Wan smiled: "Well, as long as the brands of Shenhua Group and Tenda Group are displayed, and the successful games of Yangyang Games are listed, the recruitment mailbox will be exploded immediately."
"Many people want to get into Tenda's gaming department, but they can't. They have to take the exam. The benefits here are similar to Tenda's, and it's famous. Many gamers are trying to get here."
"But... I'm under a lot of pressure because of Tengda's success. If the game doesn't go well, I'll really be in a loss for Mr. Pei."
"Let me introduce to you, this is Ye Zhizhou, the current head of Yangyang Games, this is Lao Song, the product manager of Shenhua Group's mobile phone business, and this is Cai Jiadong, the chief designer of Chixing Studio..."
Lin Wan quickly introduced everyone present.
Lao Song is the product manager, responsible for borrowing the resources of Shenhua Group to produce new VR glasses. Cai Jiadong is the newly recruited chief designer. His resume is unknown, but both of them seem to be in their thirties or forties, and they should have a lot of experience.
Rich experience.
Cai Jiadong shook hands with Ye Zhizhou: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! I have played all the games developed by Yangyang Studio. I didn't expect the chief designer to be so young. It really makes me ashamed."
Ye Zhizhou hurriedly said: "Everywhere, the platform of Tenda Group is good. If it weren't for Mr. Pei's leadership, I would probably still be an executive planner."
After exchanging business blows, the two parties quickly got down to business.
Lin Wan said while distributing documents: "These are the key points that were agreed upon after the last meeting with President Pei. Let's take a look."
She looked at Ye Zhizhou: "It's still the same as the previous work process at Shangyang Games. We first analyze President Pei's intentions and then determine the specific form of the game."
Cai Jiadong took the document with both hands and read it very carefully with a very pious expression.
Although he is nominally the chief planner of Chi Xing Studio, his title as chief planner is now a virtual title and he is only responsible for execution work. Only after he gets used to the rhythm of work here can he gradually take over the design work.
Cai Jiadong's resume as a designer is very good. He has many years of working experience as a chief designer in a large domestic game company and has also led successful projects.
There are two reasons why he came to Chixing Studio. One is because the treatment here is better than his original company, and the other is because of the relationship with Tenda Games.
Every game producer actually has a dream deep in his heart.
Making money-making games can indeed make money, but it is just a job and will not be very happy. But being able to make a 3A game of your own, with good sales and reputation, is truly something that designers can be proud of.
matter.
The game "Mission and Choice" rekindled the passion of many designers like Cai Jiadong who had been dormant for many years, so he accepted the job without hesitation.
Although Cai Jiadong has rich game design experience, the development processes of AAA masterpieces and krypton gold games are still very different and cannot be generalized.
What's more, he has long heard that Tenda Games and Yangyang Games have a very unique game design method that belongs to Mr. Pei, so he just took this opportunity to learn about it.
He looked at the document and found that it contained several rigid rules, including the investment in games and VR glasses, the type of game, the general style, etc.
Cai Jiadong glanced twice and immediately showed a shocked expression on his face.
Invest 20 million for glasses and 20 million for games?
It's a casual game, and it's cartoon style... invest so much money?
Cai Jiadong was very confused. Although there were only a few provisions in this document, based on his experience, these provisions were obviously contradictory and simply unworkable.
It’s outrageous enough to invest 20 million in Cartoon Ventures for casual games, but they still need to spend another 20 million to develop VR glasses for a single game?
If in other game companies, this proposal would definitely be rejected immediately, but here...it seems to be a common thing?
Cai Jiadong, who was new here, didn't dare to ask more questions and could only listen silently.
Lin Wan first looked at the product manager Lao Song: "If 20 million yuan is spent on developing VR glasses, to what extent can it be achieved?"
Lao Song answered truthfully: "It is enough to just develop the glasses itself, and it is even a bit wasteful. I suggest that there is no need to invest so much money. After all, the domestic market is not big, and you can't expect to sell it well."
"It's better to just make a basic model, speculate on the concept, and sell it casually to recover the cost."
Lin Wan immediately shook his head: "That won't work. Research and development funding can only be more or less. Just tell us how much we can achieve."
Lao Song thought for a while: "Then we can only make a fuss about the controller."
"But the handle... seems to be difficult to make tricks on."
"VR controllers are nothing more than those things, joysticks, buttons and the like."
"There are currently two types of controllers. One is relatively simple, one-handed, with no joystick, only a simple touch pad, one or two buttons and a trigger button; the other is more complex, two-handed, with two joysticks.
There are four buttons on the lever, the thumb position, and the trigger button on the index finger position.”
"The first one is too simple. It doesn't cost much for pure research and development. Since we have sufficient funds, we will definitely do the second one."
"But the function of the second one is already very complete. There are already buttons on each finger, and it is more ergonomically designed. We don't need to forcefully change the design in order to be innovative. At most, it will just be a remodeling."
"So I think redesigning it... won't make much sense."
Lin Wan thought for a while: "Then let's add some more functions?"
Old Song shook his head: "There is nothing more to add. The thumbs of both hands have to press the joystick and the four buttons on the front, and the index finger needs to press the trigger button. How can I add functions when they are all occupied?"
The scene fell into a brief silence. Obviously, no one had a good idea on how to spend the money.
