Chapter 1281: No overtime?

, The fastest update to become the richest man in the latest chapter from the beginning of the game!
After listening to Min Jingchao's explanation, everyone nodded.
Obviously, this statement from Min Jingchao's mouth was particularly convincing.
Because Min Jingchao is the designer of GOG and has been responsible for the balance of data and game mechanics. The understanding of this aspect is definitely beyond ordinary people.
In many cases, a person's ability does not all depend on his own talent or effort, but also on the platform he is on.
When a person arrives on the right platform, even if his talent is not high, his ability will increase by leaps and bounds.
And if a person's talent is very good, but there is no suitable platform, his talent is also difficult to activate.
Just like in history, why did all the celebrities in the early Han Dynasty gather in a small place?
It is not because this small place has outstanding people and has nurtured so many talents, but because they follow Liu Bang and have a sufficiently high platform to continuously improve.
Similarly, famous generals in troubled times are also because they grow faster in frequent wars.
GOG is an excellent platform. Min Jingchao has experienced the game for so long. It can be said that he has witnessed the rise and prosperity of this game. He has different thinking at different stages. Over time, his understanding of this aspect has been very deep.
Of course, the balance of GOG is not without problems, and it is often criticized by players.
This is normal. After all, a strong hero will be chopped, but if you chop less, it won’t hurt or itchy. If you chop too much, you may chop it down. A weak hero has less strength and no qualitative change, but more strength. It may suddenly become too strong.
In addition, there are inherent huge differences between different player groups. A hero may be a completely different hero in the fish pond game, high-end game and professional game, which makes the balance problem even more difficult.
But overall, during the period when Min Jingchao was in charge of GOG, he did a good job in the balance of the game. In this regard, he was able to get advice from professional players and professional tactical analysts in the DGE club. You can listen to opinions from the player community.
When thinking deeply about the issue of FPS game career balance, Min Jingchao found that it is best not to copy MOBA games or MMORPG games as the career setting of FPS games, so he made the current design plan.
At this point, the entire design scheme of "Bullet Marks 2" has been explained.
There must be a lot of work in the follow-up, such as the specific layout of this big map, how the strongholds are distributed, the approximate magnitude of the resources refreshed by each stronghold, and how many special channels are available to players...
But these are all done by other designers. For example, the big map is the job of the level designer.
As the chief designer, Min Jingchao only needs to make sure that there is no deviation in the general direction.
There was a brief silence in the conference room. After a while, Sun Xi said,
I’m fine here.

The other designers didn't say anything.
Zhou Muyan looked at it and nodded: "Okay, then it's done."
If it is the design plan of other people, these designers may have to ask some more questions, discuss and discuss.
But there is really nothing wrong with Min Jingchao's plan, after all, the resume is here.
Although there are no precedents for some innovative gameplay, no one dares to pack votes whether it succeeds or fails.
In this case, it is better to trust Min Jingchao and President Pei thoroughly.
In case you keep commenting on this side, who will be considered if the game fails?
Min Jingchao looked at Sun Xi: "Then I will continue to refine the plan. Could you please distribute the design draft to the designers in the group, watch the progress, and start writing the design plan on Monday."
Sun Xi nodded: "Okay, this is my job."
He was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Monday? Uh... Saturday?"
If you follow the default process of Skyfire Studio, the designers definitely defaulted to 996 when the game was first established.
Even some designers are responsible for a lot of design plans. They have to change the design draft overnight before the meeting to ensure that the design draft can be completed on schedule during the meeting.
Although this situation can only show that the workload is unreasonably arranged, after all, everyone is here, so most designers are already used to it, and there is no complaint.
So Sun Xi thought he would definitely work overtime to write the design plan tomorrow Saturday, but Min Jingchao didn't mention this at all.
Min Jingchao naturally said, "I take a regular rest on weekends."
"This..." Sun Xi looked at Zhou Muyan subconsciously.
Zhou Muyan coughed slightly, "Brother Min, I have heard about the working model of Tengda, but...every company has its own situation, so you can't just copy it blindly, right."
"The designers in our studio are not as capable as Tenda's, and they are used to slow work and careful work. Sometimes they spend more time polishing them, and the details of the solution will be better."
"Why don't I think so, Brother Min, you still follow Tengda's work schedule, and the rest of the project team follow the original process of our studio. What do you think?"
Zhou Muyan obviously didn't want to make this opening.
On the one hand, I worry about the quality of the game.
After all, in his opinion, the reason why Tenda can fill up the holiday is because the employees are very efficient, but the people at Tianhuo Studio are not so efficient.
Normal holidays, there is no tension during the development period, what should I do if the development node cannot be completed?
On the other hand, it is also afraid of affecting the mentality of others.
Everyone came to work overtime on Saturday, but no one from the "Bullet Mark 2" project team came here, do others think it is unfair? Don't want to work overtime?
Time is money, as is game development. Zhou Muyan felt very distressed when he finally returned the time that he had found out.
Of course, he doesn't feel that he has treated these people badly. After all, when the game makes money and divides the bonus, he has always been generous compared to other old versions.
Min Jingchao shook her head: "I don't think this is necessary."
"I believe that the designers of Tianhuo Studio are also very strong designers, including art, programming and other project personnel, and they are all top in the industry."
"The reason why the progress is sometimes slow may just be that frequent overtime has caused a low mental state and the body has not reached a perfect state, so the efficiency is virtually slowed down."
"I hope I can still follow Tenda's development model, and work overtime outside normal working hours is strictly prohibited."
"When the work plan is set, it is determined according to the normal workload. If it is not completed, it will be postponed if it is not completed."
"President Pei once said that there are many ways to solve problems, but they definitely don't include overtime. Overtime only solves temporary problems on the surface, but in the long run, it will cause many new problems."
Zhou Muyan hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's do it then."
The game plan has been finalized, and it is even more difficult to argue with Min Jingchao because of such trivial matters.
Although not working overtime will definitely slow down the development progress, as long as the game can be made smoothly and money can be made, then this is not a problem.
Zhou Muyan looked at Sun Xi: "Then today’s meeting will be here first. When you come back, you will re-screen and select a few most suitable designers for the "Bullet Mark 2" project team. The plan is brought to my office."
Sun Xi nodded: "No problem, Mr. Zhou."
The meeting was over, and everyone left the meeting room.
At present, the positions of the "Bullet Mark 2" project team have all been vacated, and Min Jingchao already has her own workstation. His daily work is to sort out the design drafts and make preliminary preparations.
The selection of the bottom personnel of the project team is almost complete, but there are still some vacancies in the middle.
The main reason is that the previous gameplay has not been fully finalized, and it is impossible to determine which designer will be better at it, so it was postponed for two days.
Zhou Muyan attaches great importance to this project, so the selection is also carefully selected.
As soon as Sun Xi sat down at her desk, she heard someone next to him say: "Brother Sun, I want to take the initiative to apply for the "Bullet Mark 2" project to do the numerical value, do you think it is okay?"
Sun Xi looked up and quickly stood up: "Brother Han, isn't this appropriate? Your current position is the chief planner."
This brother Han joined Tianhuo Studio earlier than Sun Xi, and now he is carrying a project team independently. It went online some time ago, and his results are not bad.
He also participated in these two meetings, but Zhou Muyan considered that his own project is running well and he has no special advantages in FPS games, so he did not choose him, but Sun Xi.
It stands to reason that the list of personnel to be finalized by Sun Xi this time is all the middle-level list, which is for himself.
Brother Han is higher than Sun Xi in terms of qualifications and position. It is inappropriate to go to "Bullet Mark 2" to give him a hand.
Brother Han shook his head: "What's wrong? My project is on the right track, and I can just give up the position to young people and give them more opportunities to grow."
"Besides, my son was just born recently, and my time as the person in charge is relatively tight, so I want to switch to this side..."
"Ahem, of course, I definitely don't want to take the holidays here! I just think that Brother Min's plan is particularly good. This project is very special and should be able to get some inspiration."
When it comes to this, Sun Xi naturally understands.
"Okay Brother Han, then I will add you to the list first, but whether this list can be passed... it depends on whether Mr. Zhou agrees."
Brother Han nodded: "Thank you Brother Sun! When you send the list, if Zhou always asks, I hope you can help me with a few words, I really value this opportunity!"
Sun Xi: "Okay Brother Han, I understand."
According to the regulations of Tianhuo Studio, once you leave the original project team, you can get the bonus for up to three months, and you can't get it later.
After all, people are no longer in this project, why should we continue to divide bonuses?
The life span of a game can be half to one year. As the chief designer, Han Ge gave up a lot of bonuses.
But obviously he is more interested in "Bullet Mark 2" because of three factors: first, no overtime work, second, following Min Jingchao's new project to get some inspiration and growth, and third, once "Bullet Mark 2" is successful, no Will there be bonuses?
If you stay in the original project, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will have nothing to do with you even if "Bullet Mark 2" succeeds.
So after comprehensive consideration, he decided to take the initiative to sign up to join the project team of "Bullet Mark 2".
After sending off Brother Han, Sun Xi wrote his name on the column of the numerical designer as an alternative.
As soon as I finished writing, I saw several messages popping up on the company's internal chat software.
"Hey! I heard that the "Bullet Mark 2" project team doesn't work overtime? Really?"
"Brother, when will the list come out?"
"Be sure to take me. I'm also ranked among the company's level designers. It makes no sense to not take me!"
"Brother Sun, can I go to the project team of "Bullet Mark 2"?"
Looking at the series of news from these people, Sun Xi was a little bit dumbfounded.
Good guy, when I heard that I didn't work overtime, it all came!
