Chapter 159 Complete the game for me within two months!

Silence, dead silence.

The huge conference room was so quiet at this time that it made people feel nervous.

Yang Ying, chief planner Cheng and others looked at each other with nervous expressions and did not dare to look at Mr. An.

They crossed their hands under the conference table and moved them constantly to relieve tension.

Now, in the entire conference room, you can probably hear a pin drop.

Yang Ying felt a little uneasy at this time.

Half an hour ago, Mr. An suddenly informed the main members of the jump team on the company intranet to come to the conference room for a meeting.

The smell of command revealed in those words made Yang Ying's heart skip a beat.

Could it be that Secret Passage is the only new game that makes Mr. An unhappy?

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine... As a competitor in the industry, Infinite Entertainment has produced the palace-level "Control Failure" based on the standards of cooperative small manufacturers, and has sold an unparalleled 2.79 million units.

How can such explosive results make the top management of Jiyou feel comfortable?

I won’t even mention the feeling of seeing your opponent making money and getting veins on your hands.

So, with an uneasy mood, Yang Ying took a pen and paper and followed the chief planner, Cheng and others to the conference room.

As a result, one sitting lasted half an hour.

During this period, Mr. An didn't say a word, he just looked at the laptop in the main seat with an ugly expression.

Yang Ying and several colleagues exchanged glances with each other and sighed in their hearts.

This is obviously the calm before the storm.

I was called over for a meeting but didn’t say anything. I was still busy...

Just when he was thinking this, Mr. An, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Gong Yang, tell me where the game you are responsible for is now."

This sentence is not a rhetorical question or inquiry, but a question full of class gaps and coldness.

While speaking, Mr. An always looked at his laptop and did not look up at the people at the table.

His attitude is self-evident.

He is very dissatisfied!

But Yang Ying is also confused and helpless. Other people's games have become popular. Why are you showing off to us here?

Didn't we do our job well?

"Mr. An, the progress is normal and it is still under stable development."

After hearing this, Mr. An immediately spoke coldly.

His head remained unchanged and did not rise.

"Really? Come and tell me, how long will you be stable?"

Yang Ying was suddenly speechless and looked at each other with several colleagues, not knowing how to answer.

"Um?"

Seeing that no one responded, Mr. An questioned loudly, which greatly increased the pressure on Yang Ying and others at the table.

"Mr. An, according to the plan, the game has 12 levels. But now, 9 levels have been produced. There are still..."

"Get it done in two months."

Before Yang Ying could finish speaking, Mr. An's unquestionable tone made several people in the meeting dumbfounded on the spot.

Especially Yang Ying stood up anxiously.

"Mr. An'an, no, please listen to me."

At this time, Mr. An raised his head slightly and looked at the people at the table.

Although he didn't make a sound, his expression clearly signaled Yang Ying to speak quickly.

Yang Ying paused, first glanced at several colleagues who looked embarrassed, and then organized his words in his mind.

Then, he looked at Mr. An

"Mr. An, it's like this. Our company's games are not finished after the levels are completed, they are just levels. Later, there are models, art, music and sound effects, as well as testing, adjustment, optimization of values ​​and other post-production work.

It takes time to do all this. Two months is really it.”

As Yang Yingzheng was speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. An raising his hand.

"Gong Yang, how long ago was that project in your hands? If I remember correctly, before the project was established, Infinite Entertainment's production team should not have released a new game about the sky or anything like that, right?"

"Now that all their Sky games have been released, even "Control Failure" has been released. In your "Bloody Scientist", the levels haven't been finished yet?"

"explain?"

Mr. An's words were suffocating and oppressive, making Yang Ying and others hang their heads with bitter expressions on their faces.

He has explained this issue before.

The game was developed so quickly, obviously with a team of 100 people.

And their jumping group only has 32 people.

Some time ago, three people even left, including the level designer, leaving only 29 people in the team.

Therefore, they are currently developing and recruiting people at the same time. They are extremely busy and often work overtime to catch up with the progress.

In the end, Mr. An actually thought their progress was slow!?

Yang Ying sighed inwardly.

The problem with game progress is actually not slow anymore.

The reason why Mr. An feels slow is because the frequency of new works of the other party is astonishingly high, which leads to a misunderstanding.

In addition, Mr. An is eager for quick success and wants to seize the market first, so his mentality is unstable.

But game production cannot be done in one step, it is a very time-consuming process.

If there are enough people, the progress can be improved.

But now we just don’t have enough manpower…

In order to make up for the failure of "The Jungle Book" before,

Therefore, "Bloody Scientist" has become a key project of the company, which requires high quality.

But if you want to achieve high quality, it naturally requires a lot of people.

The 29 people in my team worked overtime day and night, and it was pretty good to be able to achieve this.

If we have to estimate a completion date, I'm afraid it will take another half a year...

And the quality cannot be guaranteed!

But Yang Ying didn't dare to say that it was a manpower problem...

Because of issues like this, the company has delegated power to the heads of each production team to take responsibility.

If you are short of people, hire them yourself. As long as you think they are suitable, the company won't care.

But if that's the case, and you still dare to tell me that I'm short of manpower, then that's your problem. Because I gave you the power, but you didn't use it well.

As the person in charge of the jumping team, Yang Ying is usually too busy with work, so he only occasionally looks at recruitment matters.

Therefore, it is not easy to talk to Mr. An about the shortage of manpower.

This is indeed his problem.

Thinking of this, Yang Ying seemed a little silent for a moment.

When Mr. An saw this, he snorted coldly and guessed something in his mind.

"During the previous meeting, I told other groups to ask them to help with development, but there was no movement?"

Yang Ying opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

Other groups also have projects they are responsible for, so how can they put aside their own stuff to help others complete their work?

Isn’t this pure?

Although Mr. An has strong abilities in marketing, he is really an outsider when it comes to game development.

"That's right, Mr. An. Other groups have projects they are responsible for. In order not to affect them, we are fully responsible within our own group."

"Not hiring?"

Mr. An frowned and stared at Yang Ying, making the latter dare not look directly.

"We hired. However, many of the applicants did not meet the requirements. The resumes that were screened were also rejected due to interview problems."

"So you just go on like this? Huh?"
To be continued...
