Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

For the sake of the health of these valuable employees, An Yi could only unplug the power supply at a certain time and urge them to go home and rest after get off work.

Because of this, in the minds of Mihoyo employees, the daytime working hours suddenly become extremely precious, and they wish they could split one minute into two minutes.

This kind of spontaneous work motivation from within is many times more efficient than other game company employees who are semi-forced to complete tasks.

An Yi even saw with his own eyes a modeling master looking at three computers at the same time, rendering and fine-tuning two models alternately, while also busy arranging points for another model.

It was simply terrifying.

……

An ordinary Monday.

Mihoyo headquarters.

Silver Wolf chewed bubble gum and gave today's review opinion.

"Everything else is fine, no need to change. Just replace the reliefs carved on the stone bricks of the towers of Xinjie Fortress and the decorations on the outer city walls with wooden textures."

"Miss Silver Wolf, um... the metal texture is better than the wood texture, and it can better reflect the solemnity of the Xinjie Fortress as a bridgehead military fortress. As for wood, it is softer." Lu Ling adjusted the glasses hanging on the bridge of her nose and expressed her thoughts seriously.

Although there were various rumors about Miss Silver Wolf in front of her in the company.

Like the largest shareholder of a certain company, the person behind Mihoyo, the female executive who was airborne, the woman behind Anyi...

But when she is working, Lu Ling still speaks her mind boldly.

Because the decision to render this relief with metal material was unanimously agreed upon by the Art Department.

At this time, Silver Wolf said that he wanted to change the texture to wood. If she couldn't give a reasonable explanation, then even if she brought the matter to An Yi, Lu Ling would not just let it go.

"Po~" Silver Wolf blew a bubble, looked at the serious Lü Ling, and explained: "Generally speaking, metal texture is very suitable, but this is the Jianmu Ring. In the border area, the Jianmu given by the pharmacist is a miracle of the star god. People living here will naturally worship the Jianmu that brings immortality. So it is more appropriate to use a wood texture here."

“…! Oh my god! How come we didn’t notice this detail? Yes, it should be like this.”

Silver Wolf's words immediately woke up Lu Ling, and she even couldn't control her admiration.

"Indeed, according to the setting, everything in the border area revolves around the Jianmu tree bestowed by the pharmacist. It is normal for such a miracle to be believed in by the indigenous people as a totem. This is the world that can truly immerse players. Our previous approach was too superficial."

"Ms. Silver Wolf, you are my god! You and Mr. An are such a perfect match! In my personal opinion, I support you more."

From a distance, An Yi heard Yinlang giving feedback to Lu Ling from the Art Department.

However, after hearing Lu Ling's last words, An Yi suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.

Isn't the work intensity of these people still a little low? They can still engage in harem factional struggles at this time, right?

Even I don't dare to do it, but you guys are so enthusiastic about gossiping.

A heavy punch, a heavy punch must be delivered!

These days, compared to his employees who are extremely busy, An Yi is relatively free.

Because Yinlang took over some of An Yi's guidance work and did a pretty good job.

Silver Wolf doesn't need to do a lot of complicated work. She only needs to take a look at the production progress summarized by the employees every day, and point out which part has problems according to her game intuition.

Although Yinlang is not a professional game producer, she has played too many games.

The opinions she gave were basically the key points that hit the nail on the head. After the rejected parts were revised according to her opinions, employees would often feel like they were reborn.

This also made Silver Wolf's recognition among employees continue to rise.

However, in the programming department, Black Tower's position is also very stable.

It will be difficult for Silver Wolf to surpass it in the short term.

Now these people have begun to secretly engage in party struggles.

In the end, no one knows who started it, but now Mihoyo has a new unspoken rule, which is that whoever's figurine is placed at the work station is the one you support An Yi with more.

Some roads are wider, with both the Silver Wolf and the Black Tower.

Faced with such a situation, An Yi, who was about to take strong action, did not dare to say a word.

The production of "Ring of Jianmu" does not require him to worry too much, and he can also free up time to deal with other things.

For example, the Nebula platform that has been jumping around recently.

……

……

Penguin Games Headquarters.

Regular meeting every Monday.

The person sitting in the first seat was no longer Wu Zhiqun, but a middle-aged man in his thirties who looked very capable.

His name is Guo Tao. After Wu Zhiqun resigned, he succeeded him as the general manager of Penguin Games.

Taking up a new office and holding a high position is a happy thing.

But Guo Tao's expression now seems somewhat conflicted.

Because the current situation of Penguin Games is really not optimistic, it can even be described as a mess.

The revenue situation of online games currently in operation is terrible.

When Mihoyo's promotional video for the Greenlight Project, which was full of gimmicks and nostalgia, came out, it directly kicked the Antarctic Cloud Platform half to death.

If Qiuqiu had not been in operation for more than a decade and had become the chat software of choice for a generation, Penguin’s underwear would have been almost kicked off by Mihoyo’s secret language.

Guo Tao is not a fool. It is obvious that he was pushed to this position at this time to take the blame.

But the problem is that now that he knows the problem, it is difficult to change the situation.

After listening to the employees' reports, Guo Tao sat back in his chair, waved his hand helplessly, and gave an order: "If there are games willing to be released on the Antarctic Cloud Platform, we will give the developers more profit sharing support, but we don't need to invest more resources in the independent game and stand-alone game fields."

"Then, Mihoyo has recently teamed up with Nebula, an overseas company, to develop a standalone game. Their energy is firmly tied up. This is an opportunity, but we are not competitive in the overseas market, so we will not get involved. Our focus will be on the domestic online game market."

"..."

Upon hearing this, all the responsible persons present fell silent.

After a moment's silence, they all nodded.

They also understood that Guo Tao's words were purely for the sake of face.

Not to mention whether the foreign market is competitive or not, even if we bring it back to the domestic market, we will be beaten.

But no one present looked down on Guo Tao.

After all, given the current situation, whoever takes the position of general manager of Penguin Games will be in trouble.

Guo Tao had no choice but to make such a judgment.

"Okay, that's it, let's adjourn the meeting."

Guo Tao pointed at the table and asked his subordinates to leave.

He knew that his statement was somewhat evasive, but what could he do? He just told his subordinates, "Oh, we can't beat Mi Huyou, let's surrender."

Employees can say this, but he can't.

However, after carefully studying several games under Mihoyo and the Youmi Cloud platform, he indeed discovered how bad the current situation of Penguin was.

However, Guo Tao is now in this position, and doing nothing will lead to a dead end.

Otherwise, what else can be done?

Closing your eyes and waiting for death is the final solution?

Guo Tao was able to climb to the top of Penguin when he was just over 30 years old. Naturally, he had the ability and ambition. He was unwilling to go back in disgrace.

Give it a try, maybe there will be some hope.

But let’s forget about competing head-on with Mihoyo.

While the opponent's attention is diverted to the stand-alone market, Penguin focuses on its core business and implements staggered competition, and perhaps it can still gain a chance of survival.

After all, Mihoyo’s current games do not have PVP content, but players still have a huge demand for this.

As long as it can capture the wallets... no, the hearts of this wave of players, Penguin Games will be able to come back to life.

Guo Tao's next plan is to completely direct the Antarctic Cloud Gaming Platform in the direction of online games. At the same time, he plans to cut off those games that have been operating for a long time and whose revenue is close to being insufficient to cover expenses.

Let those project teams free up their hands, add fresh blood, and use the old to bring up the new to develop new games.

He does not intend to interfere with these reorganized project teams, and will withstand pressure from senior management to prevent outsiders from guiding insiders, allowing them to play freely and create their ideal online games.

Guo Tao really didn't believe it.

Such a big country.

Only Mihoyo can innovate!

Be able to make games that have a good reputation and can make money!

What's wrong with their penguins?

By that time, when the game is ready, with the help of Antarctic Cloud Gaming Platform and Qiuqiu's user traffic, Guo Tao really doesn't believe that it won't work.

Stand-alone game, Penguin admits it, I surrender, I can’t beat you, Mihoyo.

But when it comes to online games, Guo Tao is still somewhat confident.

However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

We are short of people.

Penguin Games is short of people.

Guo Tao sat in the chair silently, his fingers tapping the armrest unconsciously, his eyes a little dazed.

Damn it, Wu Zhiqun, for leaving such a mess to me.

The excellent talents are almost gone, what use are you?

He cursed Wu Zhiqun again in his heart.

Guo Tao slowly breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt a little better and less depressed.

That's how people are.

It’s okay to be frustrated. As long as you can find a vent in time, you will feel better.

Moreover, Wu Zhiqun really deserves to be scolded!

Thinking of this, Guo Tao couldn't help but think of his college friend Lan Yu, who also worked at Penguin Games.

However, since Guo Tao went to Penguin's head office, the two have had very little contact. They only know that Lan Yu has taken the position of chief planner at Penguin Games.

Guo Tao still remembers that Lan Yu's achievements in game production began to show during his college years.

When he just took over as general manager, Guo Tao went to the planning department to find Lan Yu to discuss the new game.

As a result, I was told that Lan Yu had already resigned and was currently working at Mihoyo, where he was doing a good job. I heard that he was highly valued and had already started leading the "Spread" project.

Hearing the news, Guo Tao felt terrible.

Wu Zhiqun's driftwood also rose and fell with Guo Tao's repeated greetings.

However, you have to curse when you need to, and life must go on.

Talented game developers don’t just appear out of thin air.

Guo Tao picked up the phone, but was a little hesitant. He didn't want to disturb Lan Yu.

After not contacting each other for a long time, he calls to say something important. This is too utilitarian. He doesn't want their friendship to deteriorate.

But the recent situation of Penguin Games is really not optimistic.

To be honest, Guo Tao is helpless in his job and has to do his job.

After much hesitation, he picked up his phone and called Lan Yu.

The phone rang for half a minute and was quickly connected.

Before Guo Tao could say anything, he heard a noisy voice coming from the other end of the phone.

Faintly one could hear arguments such as "Is the difficulty of Tree Guard too high?" and "It has to be this difficult."

"Ayu, are you busy?"

"It's Taozi. Ah, I'm very busy here, and I was temporarily transferred here to participate in a new project!" Lan Yu looked very happy on the other end of the phone, and replied with a smile, "What's the matter, Taozi? I heard that you got a promotion. Congratulations. Are you going to treat me to a wedding banquet?"

Hearing this, Guo Tao was stunned. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yes, but since you are so busy, I will treat you to the wedding banquet when you are free."
