American Fortune Life
Chapter 1684: Beat beat
The mocking bird game company can be said to be one of the few companies in the game industry to recruit female programmers, led by female engineers to develop game projects.
In particular, the most important thing is to do the job and equalize the salary. That is to say, mocking game companies does not have any discrimination based on sex, and only values competence.
To put it plainly, working at Andy Company, whether it is male or female, whether they are different or the same, as long as they can make money for Andy, Andy will give the status and money that match the other party, without any discrimination!
It's not an exaggeration at all to make female programmers at game companies happy to work with male programmers for the same pay.
In the gaming industry, women practitioners show an absolute low level, which has a lot to do with the nature of the gaming industry.
Under the premise of pursuing excitement, sense of accomplishment and other male sensory experiences, if you are the boss, will female *** developers be involved in the entire game production?
The answer to the question is self-explanatory, and women's thinking can become an obstacle. To put it simply, all game companies prefer to recruit male Xing game developers, which is the so-called "sexism."
However, Andy knows the future development trend. Everyone has a mobile phone. Later, the mobile phone even replaced the women's special leisure TV.
And most female players have no resistance to games that are cute, cute, warm, and fun. Since we know this rule, it is naturally difficult for women to reach women alone. Players' psychological expectations of the game, so the participation of female developers is obviously imperative.
"Only women can understand women", using divergent thinking based on women's favorite elements and themes, in-depth analysis of women's psychology, and creating works that closely meet women's needs, in order to create a number of money tools in the game industry.
"My dear, I like this little crocodile ..."
In the conference room, Ivana sat beside Andy, and said to Andy with a smile on her face.
Andy smiled, and continued to look at the test results of "Crocodile Little Naughty Loves Bathing" being displayed on the LCD TV. Generally speaking, he was basically satisfied, but every time he heard the rushing water in the game, his brow will Unable to lightly wrinkle.
"Oh, when I proposed this plan, Blair also questioned the use of crocodile as the main character to develop the game. He said that seeing the crocodile in the zoo was terrible as if he was going to eat him. He didn't feel it was a very Good idea. "
Hearing the ridicule of his boss, Eo Blair sitting aside did not feel embarrassed, but shook his head and laughed: "To be honest, if I didn't see the image screen they designed, I would still question it. Think about it. "
Hearing the conversation between the boss and eo, the team members responsible for the development of this game are all happy, especially Lucy, the development team leader who is holding a demo demonstration, is very happy inside.
Of course, she also admired and thanked her boss more and more.
Admire the boss's persistence and genius, and thank the boss for her trust. You should know that when the original team of "Crocodile Little Naughty Love Bathing" was established, only six people were assigned. The development requirements were simple but high-quality games.
This is a model that emphasizes short time and low cost. This is still a lot of pressure for the first time Lucy who led the team independently. After all, this is the plan of the big boss. You know, the plan of Andy Smith is There are many popular games that are widely recognized in the industry as evidence of this. There are already a number of popular games supporting this. Lucy is really excited and worried about being able to take charge of such projects.
Fortunately, At the beginning, Andy did not set any restrictions on the team, whether it is timetable or budget.
Lucy gritted her teeth and did not disappoint Andy, taking a team of six is really working around the clock. Because the team size is small, the work is bigger. The design of this game was completely developed by Lucy and led by Andy's plan. Even the artist was also rotated by members. Lucy sometimes took charge of some programming. It took a total of about four months, and "Crocodile Little Naughty Loves Bathing" was finally completed.
"Well, let's show it here, Lucy, you're doing well." Andy said, with a satisfied smile on his face, and Lucy looking forward to eyes, praised.
"Thank you, boss." Lucy was relieved in her heart, and she was also very excited. She knew that as long as the game went on the market, once the fire broke out, her career would be very different, regardless of her status in the company. , Or profit dividends.
"Oh, don't rush to thank me first." Andy waved his hand with a smile. In the confused expression of Lucy and the team members, he continued: "Give you one more month, can the quality be improved a little bit? ? "
When hearing the boss's problems, Lucy and the group members couldn't help looking at each other. To be honest, in order to hurry, they didn't really deal with some details in the game.
Although the current game has a beautiful game screen, colorful game levels, easy and wonderful game music, simple and easy to learn operation methods ... it should also be very attractive to players.
But the flaws definitely exist, and they are also clear, but in order to complete the development as soon as possible, and make money on the market, there are a few small flaws, and it will be improved in the second version. To be honest, they think so.
"... Yes, boss, and you can improve the quality of the game."
"The difference between the game with 4 and a half stars and 5 stars is very big, and there is a hundredfold distance between the small success and the big success. The image water effect can enrich the player's visual effects, and cooperate with the nice background music and the rushing water sound. , The audiovisual effect of the picture should make each player feel relaxed and happy, rather than repeating a sound rigidly! "
After hearing Lucy's answer, Andy nodded with satisfaction, and everyone in the back of the conference room said solemnly: "Quality, the insistence on the quality of the game, is the secret of our success.
For the current mocking bird company, the importance of the mobile gaming business is more than just profitability. You must clearly understand that mobile Internet and social networks are the general trend, and the impact of smart mobile device platforms on the new generation has become more and more important. Only through this platform can our brands and products be better delivered to The wider crowd.
Laughing at a bird produced must be a boutique brand concept. Not just shouting, you can be recognized as having a perfect start by advertising. Don't squander these capitals. "
A word from Andy made everyone in the conference room nodded solemnly to understand, while Ivana on the side was a little fan girl with beautiful eyes flashing and admiring.
In the office, Andy told ceo Blair: "The company's development is too fast. You also need to pay attention to the impetuous atmosphere inside the company. I also understand that each development team wants to launch the project that it is responsible for as soon as possible to help the company make money. It must not be at the cost of reduced quality, which you will emphasize at the next meeting.
It's just a new company. Although it has made a lot of money, there is currently no way to compare it with ea. Leading companies like Nintendo still have to stabilize and focus on the development of quality. Don't be complacent! "
Blair burst into his heart and nodded solemnly, "Okay, boss, I will convey the meaning of the boss."
To be honest, not only the people are a little bit floating, but even his ceo is also very floating. During this time, he received a lot of media interviews, but he can also be regarded as the industry's most important person. It is inevitable that he is proud. Now ... I am afraid that these words spoken by his boss also meant to beat him.
Looking at Blair with an awkward look on his face, Andy nodded his head slightly. He believed that Blair was a smart person and could understand his words. It wasn't Andy who watched carefully and felt that Blair was famous for stealing a lot of limelight. Yes, Andy also doesn't like that exposure rate. The key is that this floating impetuousness will cause some mistakes and even cause some failures to the company. This is what Andy cannot allow.
"My dear, the development of the game company is really amazing!" Ivana took Andy's arm, with a very surprised expression on Qiao's face, looking at the previous piece that had completely turned into a parking lot. The vacant lot was crowded with cars, which made Ivana, who had seen the original state game company, feel sorry.
Andy hugged Ivana standing behind the floor-to-ceiling window from behind and kissed her on the cheek. "It's a good thing to develop fast, but there have also been many problems. It seems that in the recent period, I need to spend some Time to stay here and preside over the work. "
"Oh, how can a fast-growing company have no problems? Don't worry, as long as the general direction is good, strengthen the administrative management, the key is still too simple and too fast, the company will inevitably be upset and proud. This kind of sentiment is also good or bad for the company's development. Don't deny it at once. "As an executive vice president of a group, Ivana is naturally not covered in management, and she also contacted the management of some game companies. There are some clues in words and deeds.
