Chapter 174 It is very important to be a salted fish

The last week of the end of August is one week before Li Huanrong starts the second half of the semester.

Li Huanrong habitually went to the company's R&D department to check the situation and felt the enthusiasm of the R&D department's social animals who were fooled by him... As soon as he stepped into the large office of the R&D department, he was dragged by Minister Jin and entered the small office of the minister.

"My young master... please stop making trouble, okay?" Minister Jin complained to Li Huanrong with a bitter look on his face, "No matter how I say it, I don't treat you badly, you've been slutty with me for so long, have I told the president anything... don't cheat me, okay?"

Then, Minister Kim, regardless of Li Huanrong's reaction, began to complain to Li Huanrong in a nagging manner, saying how difficult it was and how disobedient the bastards under him were. Li Huanrong drew cakes for them and stopped doing serious work, making him unable to raise his head every week meeting...

Minister Jin is a good person and a person with strong business capabilities, but he is not an excellent manager... He is too kind and ruthless, and lacks constraints on the group of arrogant soldiers and strong generals under his command, or does not want to restrain him.

The work of the R&D department is very heavy and boring. They deal with program code every day. All of these people in the group are in good health... They are not suitable for strict management, otherwise they will not be able to retain any talent.

So, Minister Kim is a little unable to suppress his subordinates, which is also true, but he is also working hard.

The way to work hard is to let Li Huanrong come forward and let the dazed social animals feel at ease. Don’t always think about becoming fat in one go. You still have to do your job that you should do.

"Hey, let's be honest, that sandbox game... cannot achieve the best effect now!" Minister Jin tried to convince Li Huanrong, "The map of sandbox game is too big, there are too many places to consider, and there are too many effects to achieve. Unlike the fixed routine of sandbox games, sandbox game development itself is very difficult and time-consuming, but even if we really do it, it will be too testing the hardware level... The CPU problem is not big now, and it is rare in graphics cards. We can't learn from others in Europe and the United States, give up beauty and image, just focus on the functions... This cannot be sold in our country!"

"Yes, with the highest configuration of computer hardware now, you can barely run this game, but how much does that computer cost?! Our games should target ordinary home computer users or PC room users in the market... You can't expect others to specifically match a computer worth tens of millions in order to play your game, right?"

"Actually, this is really not a big deal. According to the current update level of CPU and graphics cards, the hardware with the highest configuration may be just ordinary configuration in two years... We have enough time to develop this game, but we don't have to worry about it and do it slowly. We will wait until it is launched in two or three years. At that time, the software and hardware are suitable, wouldn't it be better?!

"Now, we have to consider the company's development plan. Since we have decided to try the game circle, our R&D department cannot embarrass the company, right?! Although, I also know that sandbox games are not as good as sandbox games in terms of technical content and playability, but they are at least mainstream now. Using snacks to make a good FPS game and making money for the company is the first priority."

Minister Kim talked a lot to Lee Huanrong about his difficulties, his planning for sandbox games, and he...well, in short, he did say a lot.

Just one thing, Li Huanrong doesn't quite understand.

"Uncle, why are you talking to me about these things...I am not an employee of the R&D department?!"

Well, that's what made Minister Kim so angry that he almost jumped up.

When we encouraged those social animals to study sandbox games, why didn’t you say that you were not an employee of the R&D department?!

Now, you have lifted the appetites of a group of people and they are all disobedient. You tell me this?!

But...what do you have any way? This is the president's son... or the eldest son!!!

Maybe one day in the future, I will call me "President" to others!

"You are indeed not an employee of the R&D department, but those guys are not listening to what I said now. If I don't convince you first and ask you to have a good talk with those kids, those guys will still be slandering me... Huanrong, most of them are veterans who were there when our company started its business. Do you really want me to use administrative means to suppress them... That is useless and will only make things worse!"

Minister Kim continued to persuade Li Huanrong with one goal... Let Li Huanrong come forward and have a good talk with the group of people, and let them quickly make the FPS sandbox game the company wants.

That thing, don’t look down on these social animals and think that the sandbox game has no technical content, but if you really need to do it well and do it seriously, you will have to have at least half a year to complete the front-end research and development. With the time for internal testing and modification, when it is launched, it will be mid-next year... The time is already a bit tight, but if you are so stubborn and messed up, it is the company’s development plan!

What can Li Huanrong say? Minister Jin has raised the matter to the company's development plan. As the president of the company, he can only agree to become a salted fish who is waiting to die in the future.

After a good chat with a group of social animals, I decided to temporarily put the development of this super hot sandbox game in the future. Just like the ins live broadcast system proposed by Li Huanrong, I decided to wait until the hardware is suitable before putting it on the agenda.

Now, do something that normal social animals should do.

only.......

"It's a bit unimpressed... There are many FPS games outside the world. No matter how we do it, we can't make any new things, right?"

A certain R&D department's social animal complained while writing code.

Well, this is true... Since CS became popular, FPS games can basically not escape those modes.

It’s either the two teams competing or infinite killing... It’s all about shooting.

Regarding this, Minister Kim has no good idea... There have been no other models in recent years, but the market has proved that these two models are mainstream and are liked by the public.

The same is true when you develop new games. In addition to working on character styling and maps, don’t easily challenge the mature model that has been tested by the market. This is also a way to reduce R&D risks!

As for Li Huanrong, he really has ideas, and it is also a method that has been tested by the "market"... and this method is easy to make money!

"In addition to these two traditional competitive modes, add a level-breaking mode... Well, it's the level-breaking mode like RPG games, but there is no difference in the profession of warrior mages, and all firearms are used..." Li Huanrong began to provide "creative" again based on his memory.

Minister Jin and several R&D team leaders heard it, stared at each other for a long time, and they were simulating in their minds. What would it turn into if they changed it to this way... Don't say it, it's interesting to say it.

Replacing sword magic with guns... It looks very different on the picture, but it is actually not a big change for the code. The core settlement procedures are still the same, and the biggest difference is only in the appearance design.

This is really not a problem, it was done this way.

And in this way, it can be regarded as the exclusive feature of its own FPS game. At that time, it can attract a large number of players who originally like RPG games to play FPS games... I think it is quite promising!

"But, if you have RPG, you will always pass the level... I will be tired of playing by players sooner or later!" said a social animal in a R&D department.

Then he was absolutely despised by Minister Kim and Lee Hwan-young.

"What you are talking about is a stand-alone... online games, you can just make some rare props or titles, and some people come to brush a dungeon repeatedly!"

This is what Li Huanrong said.

"You are not stupid, right? You won't launch a new level and some new plots at intervals?! This kind of level-through game does not require any mature plots to match, and players don't care about this, just ticks and ticks and ticks and ticks... I still have to teach you this?"

This is what Minister Kim said!

Well, both methods have been given. If you talk nonsense, you really don’t have to do it. Just clean up and go home... No matter how much Minister Kim protects his shortcomings, he will not protect useless employees.

In short, after a while of "ideological adjustment", the social animals in the R&D department finally managed to concentrate and began to "work seriously"... Minister Jin could breathe a sigh of relief.

As for Li Huanrong, he should prepare to start his second half of his sophomore year!
Chapter completed!
