Chapter 15: To Work Overtime or Not to Work Overtime

Zhou Kuang also thought about whether he should join the planning team to help. After all, he was a planner before he crossed over, so he would definitely not be a burden if he did some work.

But after thinking it over again and again, he chose not to intervene.

After all, he is the boss at this time, and it is not appropriate for him to work with the employees.

Imagine that when Zhou Kuang was a planner, if his boss insisted on being by his side and working with him, not only would he be nervous, but other colleagues would also be extremely uncomfortable.

Everyone is afraid of being caught by the boss, which will definitely not lead to high work efficiency.

Therefore, Zhou Kuang had no intention of working.

The planning team is led by Ma Tu, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Ma Tu's abilities are quite good, otherwise he wouldn't have become the chief planner of Kuangshi Games.

His only problem is that he lacks creativity and is too timid. He is very methodical when doing projects and rarely makes breakthroughs.

But on the other hand, his advantage is also that he follows instructions. Whatever the boss tells him to do, he will carry it out 100%.

And now, Zhou Kuang has provided the basis for the plan and the direction of the modification. Coupled with the strategy based on Yang Ji's art, Ma Tu is doing it like a fish in water.

All he did were tasks that were determined in the general direction, and he didn't have to use his brain.

So Zhou Kuang rested without any burden.

What's more, before traveling through time, he worked overtime every day as a planner, and now he has to work overtime every day after traveling through time and becoming a boss. Then, didn't he travel through time in vain?

Getting enough rest is the first step to success.

Zhou Kuang convinced himself in this way.

……

……

……

For the next week, employees throughout the company were working around the clock and were extremely busy.

Ma Tu and Yang Ji almost lived in the company. Every day when they arrived at the company, everyone could see the two of them walking out of the meeting room with dark circles under their eyes and yawning.

It must be another fierce confrontation.

The reason why it's almost is because there are people who are more perverted than these two.

The main programmer is Wu Qianhe.

In order to run the pipeline of Unreal Engine 4 to make an action-adventure game, he actually slept on the floor in the office and worked like crazy.

A lot of the few hairs on his head had fallen out.

Zhou Kuang was afraid that he would die suddenly, so he forced him to leave work and prevented him from working overtime for more than 7 hours for seven consecutive days.

Zhou Kuang himself was a little confused. Although he gave some extra overtime pay, did the employees really have to work overtime to death?
Looking at the decreasing available funds in the bill and the increasing bonuses that needed to be paid out, he felt both heartbroken and happy.

However, he believed that as long as the demo trailer PV could cause a sensation like Black Monkey, many companies would rush to give him money.

The progress of the project is also accelerating as funds are rapidly reduced.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the heads of several groups had already discussed privately, and unified their belief in working hard to complete the project, and conveyed this to all project owners in an internal meeting.

After all, any discerning person, as long as they are not blind, can see the potential of this plan. Not to mention whether it is for the sake of keeping their jobs, even if it is for the title of "the first domestic 3A game" that is out of reach in their minds and that they dare not even think about, they are willing to contribute more to themselves and the project.

As long as the quality of the game is worthy of this title, everyone on the project will be promoted, and their names will be forever recorded in the game's production staff list and acknowledgments list.

Countless companies will try to poach them with high salaries.

Isn't this better than any reward?
So, if not now, when?

Everyone believed that there would never be another opportunity in this lifetime to work on such a dream project.

…………

……

"How many times have I told you that the animation effect here can't be like this! There has to be a force unloading part. Didn't you learn physics in school? Gravity effect, gravity effect! Don't you understand what I'm saying?!" Wu Qianhe was tortured to the point of being extremely irritable. He took the documents on the table and slammed them hard on it. His bald head was left with several red marks from his fingernails.

He gritted his teeth, holding back his anger, and said, "Let your art team redo it. You've already wasted a lot of our time. If we can't meet the schedule, or the results are bad, I'll blame you!"

"Ok."

The person in charge of the handover in the art team had to leave in disgrace. They had done this animation binding more than a dozen times, but the effect was worse each time, so they were scolded back by Wu Qianhe.

Wu Qianhe was affected by anger. He gasped, closed his eyes and slowly recovered his composure.

The person who is under the most pressure during this period is none other than Wu Qianhe.

The game had to be made using a new game engine, and the project pipeline had to be built from scratch. Even if the goal was just to make a demo, he was under a lot of pressure.

Besides Wu Qianhe, there are only one or two people in the project team who have used Unreal Engine 4 for actual work.

Even though many features of Unreal Engine 4 are convenient and can improve production efficiency, that is only after you become familiar with the engine and tools.

Their learning cost is very high at this time, so they work slowly.

The problem is that if they slow down, the progress of the entire project will be slowed down.

So even though Wu Qianhe scolded the art team so harshly just now, he is actually the one who is most afraid of slowing down the progress.

To some extent, he was so angry because he was unable to speed up the programming team and was cursing himself.

In just one week, they've already rolled out a lot of things. The action system is roughly finished, and at least it can be controlled properly, but the details are still very poor, to the point where it cannot be displayed at all.

As for the game mechanics, they only made a few important ones to use for experiments, and the others still only exist in the worksheet plan.

When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found Zhou Kuang walking towards him.

"Brother Kuang."

He didn't dare to delay and wanted to stand up.

"Sit down." Zhou Kuang pressed him down on the seat with his hands. "What happened just now that made you so angry?"

Wu Qianhe felt a little embarrassed when he heard his boss ask this.

"It's okay, there's just one action whose animation just doesn't meet the requirements."

"Don't worry, you've worked hard."

Zhou Kuang really felt sorry for Wu Qianhe, who had panda eyes and bloodshot eyes, and it was scary to see him working overtime.

"Take a break first, there's no need to rush."

"But……"

Wu Qianhe remembered the unfinished work and wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Zhou Kuang.

"Rest, this is an order, everyone, let's go home today!"

Zhou Kuang said to the people in the programming group.

"Great!"

“Finally off work!”

"I want to eat skewers! Ohhhhh!!!"

The programming team jumped up to celebrate the end of get off work.
