Restart the Gaming Era

"Everyone put aside the work at hand and hold a regular meeting!"

Zhou Zhen's complexion is also not very good, he is probably hungry too.

He and Xiong Kai were criticized by Liu Yuxin before leaving get off work yesterday, and today they were criticized together with the other responsible persons, so it was strange that they were in a good mood.

But this is also normal, after all, he is the main designer, and he will be responsible if he does not take the blame.

Let the main program and the main art take the blame? That's outrageous.

Let Liu Yuxin take the blame? That's even more impossible...

Everyone in the design team stood up and followed Zhou Zhen to the meeting room one by one.

There are many meeting rooms on this floor, and the meeting rooms for regular meetings are all reserved in advance. Zhong Ming followed the rest of the design team into the conference room and found a corner seat to sit down.

Zhou Zhen saw that everyone was almost there, and looked at Zhong Ming who was sitting at the door: "Close the door and start the meeting."

Just as Zhong Ming was about to close the door, he saw Liu Yuxin walking in with a dark face.

"Director Liu." Zhong Ming nodded slightly.

"Yeah." Liu Yuxin's expression was not very good, and he went straight to the conference room and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Okay, let's have a meeting." Liu Yuxin said.

Liu Yuxin is the supervisor, but he also came up from the chief designer, so he often comes to observe the regular meetings of the design group, and only rarely goes to the program group and art group.

Seeing Liu Yuxin sit down, Zhou Zhen felt even more stressed, and said with a sullen face, "Okay, let's start the meeting."

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit dull. After all, everyone could guess that the data in the new version was not good, so they didn't speak.

According to the flow of the regular meeting, the first is to briefly summarize the work situation of last week. This is basically a cutscene, and both Zhou Zhen and Liu Yuxin can see the work summary submitted by everyone, so it didn't take a few minutes.

Next is the focus of the regular meeting, about the new version.

Zhou Zhen said with a little disappointment: "Everyone should know that after the new version is launched this time, the data is not good. Not only did our active number and recharge data not increase, but there was a slight decline. This is a very dangerous signal. , our previous expectation was that there would be a slight uptick, at least on the first day.”

"Director Liu and the people in charge have also discussed before. Our design team has to take the main responsibility for the failure of the new version. Therefore, in today's regular meeting, everyone can speak freely, talk about the problems of the new version, and talk about suggestions for improvement. Li Xin , let's start with you."

Li Xin is the main value of the game, and can also be regarded as the second most important designer of the design team, and is Zhou Zhen's right-hand man.

"Uh, well, from the numerical point of view, the players' reaction to the new mecha this time is very flat, and everyone's desire to buy it is not strong. The new version may have some problems with the new mecha as a core function..."

After Li Xin finished speaking, Zhou Zhen looked at the system designer sitting next to Li Xin.

"Well, I think our operation activities are too stingy? The new version of the login gift package only gives things worth 10 yuan, which is a bit too little..."

Several key members expressed their views one by one.

After listening to these people's speeches, Liu Yuxin still had an ugly expression on his face.

What everyone says is not wrong, but it's also useless. These changes are icing on the cake and cannot turn things around.

And some people just raised the question, how to solve it? They themselves do not know.

Liu Yuxin is the project supervisor, who came from the chief designer. He is more aware of the current problems of the project than most of the people present, but he has nothing to do with it.

If Liu Yuxin had a way, he would have already arranged for other people to do it, so why hold another meeting and engage in brainstorming.

Liu Yuxin felt a little disappointed when he didn't get an answer that made his eyes shine.

At this time, Liu Yuxin found that Zhong Ming who was sitting at the door had not spoken.

In fact, Zhou Zhen didn't intend to let Zhong Ming speak. After all, he has only been here for a few days, and he is not very familiar with the game situation.

But Liu Yuxin didn't think so. He looked at Zhong Ming: "Xiao Zhong, tell me what you think. Didn't you try to plan for the next version? How's the progress?"

Xiong Kai hurriedly said: "Oh, Director Liu, the version planning is Zhong Ming's work plan for this week and next week. Now he should just be familiar with the game, and he hasn't started working on it..."

He looked at Zhong Ming again: "Well, I haven't found a chance to tell you that although our project has no hard and fast rules, we still have to work overtime, especially when there are many tasks. No, it's a bit inappropriate..."

"I'll talk about it later." Liu Yuxin waved his hand, also a little disappointed: "Since the time is too short to make a version plan, then you can just talk about your own ideas."

Liu Yuxin had heard from Xiong Kai before that Zhong Ming always got off work at the right time, and he was still a newcomer, so he didn't hold out any hope, and just wanted to listen casually.

It's not like you can't say anything, right?

Everyone looked at Zhong Ming, thinking that this newcomer is really miserable, and this kind of thing happened to him within two days of his arrival...

Looking at Xiong Kai's appearance, it is obvious that he has a problem with Zhong Ming, but on this occasion, no one can speak for Zhong Ming. After all, he has always been the first to leave work in the project. This is not a particularly glorious thing in the eyes of many people. .

Everyone was waiting for Zhong Ming's statement.

"I think the main problem now is that players have lost the freshness of the gameplay itself. Without the influx of new players, it is difficult to maintain the number of old players." Zhong Ming said unhurriedly.

Xiong Kai was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhong Ming to really hit the point.

But Xiong Kai is not worried, because most people are aware of this problem, but how to change it? That is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

Xiong Kai's idea is to make new mechs with new functions, but now it seems that players don't buy it.

"Well, yes." Liu Yuxin nodded, "Then what can you do?"

Zhong Ming said: "Make a new game."

"Oh? Make a new game?" Liu Yuxin became interested, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Xiong Kai sneered in his heart, he really is a newcomer, he doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!

Make a new game? Is that something you can do with just one mouth? If you can really do it, what do you need a system designer to do?

Responsible for new functions alone can only be done by a designer who has worked for at least half a year to more than a year. Some major functions require one to two years of experience to control.

As Zhong Ming said, make a new way to save the game? That must be a very complicated gameplay, and it would take a week or two for the system designer to design, so what can Zhong Ming, a newcomer, design?

Zhong Ming said calmly, "Actually, the plan for the new version has already been written."

Supervisor Liu was pleasantly surprised: "Huh? Already have it? Send it to see!"

The others looked at Xiong Kai in unison, and Xiong Kai was instantly stunned.

Just now Xiong Kai also said that Zhong Ming has not worked overtime and did not do any work, so what is the situation now?

Has the new version plan been written?

It took Zhong Ming two days to complete the next week's work? ?

Xiong Kai felt his face was a little hot, this bell is ringing, make trouble!
