Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

"It should be a forest."

"Could there be other creations between the woods and the village, such as a dirt road overgrown with weeds? A collapsed mill?"

"Yes, these should be available."

"Since there are things that were abandoned due to the Omnic Crisis, are there any traces of the battle left behind in the surrounding area?"

"Yes, it should be possible to preserve some of the mechanical remains of the omnics, but these remains should already be covered by vegetation."

"Continue, what kind of plant?"

"Ah, um, it should be a vine-like plant. That way, there will be a contrast, and the visual effect will be stronger."

After Su Shanshan finished speaking, she was completely lost in thought.

Actually, even if Lin Li didn't say it, Su Shanshan should be able to understand these things after exploring for a while.

But he needs the girl to grow up quickly.

Not only her, but also the leaders of the other groups did the same.

The better they can hold their own, the sooner Lin Li will escape his current hell of overtime.

Chen Yanqin, who was standing between the two, changed her gaze towards Lin Li after listening to these words.

She had never heard of the events Lin Li described before.

Hearing this now, I instantly recalled the time when she was still at her previous company.

She was often argued with because the drafts she submitted didn't meet the needs of the planning team.

Although she can be quite fierce when she argues, she can also argue back with the planner.

But I still felt a little guilty after the argument.

I think I might be partly to blame.

Only now does she realize that the mistake wasn't her fault, but because the previous planner didn't know how to specify the art requirements.

Think so.

The boss standing in front of her is not only handsome, but also quite capable at his job. No wonder he was able to create Battlefront Girls.

Moreover, their attitude was good when explaining things.

Unlike at my previous company, when I would get a terrible attitude from the lead artist if I asked them for advice, this time it's different.

It seems like I made the right choice by switching jobs.

Having a good boss makes work easier.

Then, as Chen Yanqin watched Su Shanshan and Lin Li chatting more and more, she suddenly thought of something.

wrong...

You should tell me my interview results first before discussing work!

Chapter Twenty-Three: Yu Zhong's Counterattack

time flies.

A blink of an eye.

Chen Yanqin has been working here for a week now.

This past week has given Chen Yanqin the strongest feeling of comfort.

Yes.

It's just comfortable.

This is a term rarely used in the workplace, but it is indeed true.

The management structure of Spark Games is very flat. Currently, apart from operations, the heads of several production teams directly report to the boss.

Moreover, the handsome boss often interacts with ordinary employees and communicates about issues during development.

This kind of interaction can sometimes boost morale even more than bonuses.

Lin Li truly understands game development.

Therefore, his encouragement was truly effective.

For example, last time, when Lin Li came to Chen Yanqin's side, he glanced at her character illustration and praised her for having a good drawing style, solid basic skills, a well-organized character illustration, and a pleasing appearance.

This compliment touched Chen Yanqin's heart.

Before entering the gaming industry, she had been learning to draw since junior high school, and her basic skills were very solid.

But after entering the game industry, all of these things seemed to be useless. She was just a tool, drawing whatever the planners asked her to draw.

This is the first time someone has praised her for her solid foundation.

Besides these, she also really liked the atmosphere of Spark Games.

There are two main reasons why the atmosphere is so good.

One is the excellent benefits. In addition to the regular salary being among the top in the industry in Shanghai, there is also overtime pay, free late-night snacks after a certain period of time, and taxi subsidies after 10 pm.

Those who do not want to work overtime at the company can apply to work overtime at home. As long as they can produce the materials the next day, they can apply for overtime pay.

Although the overtime pay is less than working overtime at the company, it's more comfortable.

Chen Yanqin, for example, really enjoys working overtime at home.

In addition, there is a snack area with almost unlimited supply, except that you can't take it out.

There are also regulations prohibiting smoking in the office, and heavy smokers can only go to designated smoking rooms.

As such.

With such benefits, employees are naturally motivated to work.

Secondly, the boss genuinely understands various aspects of game development. Just like when praising Chen Yanqin, the boss would check everyone's work results.

Although, one person might only glance at it once or twice and exchange a few words.

But then you can tell who is truly capable and who got in by cheating during the interview process.

Lin Li never hesitates to praise the former.

For the latter, it basically involves HR to handle the resignation process.

Don't underestimate this.

Many small companies offer decent benefits, but the problem is that the top management is incompetent and can't identify the slackers in the team.

The entire team will become increasingly disorganized, and their development capabilities will decline.

Conversely, when everyone else in a team is working normally, even those who like to slack off will be drawn into a working state.

This principle is actually the same as when you are in school, many schools will divide students into classes based on their grades.

In addition, after Lin Li did this, he established a certain image in everyone's mind.

That means the boss understands games; you can't fool him.

So it's best not to have any ulterior motives.

Good benefits combined with good management not only benefit the company, but also make the employees feel comfortable.

Moreover, according to rumors circulating in the office, the cost of maintaining this benefit and everyone's salaries is several million per month.

And now the company is entirely reliant on the "Girls' Frontline" project.

If they don't work hard, then such a conscientious company truly deserves praise.

Under such circumstances, work performance is naturally good, and the office atmosphere is naturally harmonious.

I've been working for so many days.

Chen Yanqin had never seen anyone slacking off.

Of course, this is mainly because Lin Li gives a lot of tasks, leaving little room for slacking off.

However, today was an exception. After Chen Yanqin finished her work yesterday, Sister Shanshan, the leader of Xinghuo Group 2, went to a meeting and had not yet assigned today's work.

Chen Yanqin finished some of her previous odd jobs, and it was only 11 o'clock.

So I minimized the drawing software and opened the browser.

She wouldn't dare play games during work hours, but if she searched for a strategy guide, she would.

Strange to say.

Chen Yanqin had never played games from her own company before, but after joining Xinghuo Games, she became more and more enthusiastic about playing Battlefront Girls.

Playing stories created by other groups feels fresh and exciting, while playing stories created by your own group feels very rewarding.

This experience is quite novel.

However, today, when she searched for "Girls' Frontline" on Bilibili as usual, a popular video suddenly popped up.

[Interview with the developer of Girls' Frontline: Putting Players First, In the Name of Love]

The video content is divided into two parts.

The previous section briefly described the conflict between the developers of Girls' Frontline, Flashbang, and the operators. In the narrative, the narrator analyzed the current situation in a rational and objective manner.

It was due to a misunderstanding between the developer and the operator.

But behind the scenes, there is a very obvious bias.

Chen Yanqin rarely watches these kinds of videos, but people are naturally gossipy, and this kind of video is quite well-made.

It gives people a sense of leisurely gossip.

However, at that moment, the girl felt a light tap on her shoulder.

Chen Yanqin was engrossed in eating melons when she was suddenly patted on the shoulder, which startled her.

Turning around cautiously, I saw Lin Li with a smiling face.

Chen Yanqin's face turned pale instantly.

“Mr. Lin…” Chen Yanqin took off her earphones, her heart pounding.

"What are you looking at so intently? What is it that looks so interesting?"

It seems like the first thing a leader asks after catching someone red-handed is always this: What are you looking at? What are you doing? What are you playing?

It's as if they genuinely don't know what you're watching, or are genuinely interested in knowing what you're watching.

Chen Yanqin felt extremely embarrassed. The worst part was that she had never tried to fish before, and she got caught on her first try. It was really unlucky.

She wasn't too bothered by being caught slacking off; she'd been caught frequently at her previous company.

But after being caught by Lin Li, she felt guilty and afraid that Lin Li would misunderstand: "President Lin, I...I finished my work, and I only...I only looked at it for a little while...No, it wasn't intentional..."

"I know, I was just asking what you were looking at."

"Yes, it's that recent gossip-worthy incident in the gaming world..."

"..."

Lin Li glanced at Chen Yanqin's screen, which was showing an interview with Yu Zhong, and then he saw that man again.

I glanced at the title.

"Is this video about array formations and spreaders?"

Chen Yanqin didn't react for a moment, and after a pause, she said, "Yes, it's about this..."

Chapter Twenty-Four: Who is this guy? He's so handsome!

Lin Li nodded.

The company did not publicize the acquisition of Zhenmian in a big way. In addition, after the acquisition, most of Zhenmian's employees went to Japan with Yao Meng.
