"Don’t think about it. Investors won’t agree to it. Well, I also like this unique style of work even more. Although Qianshou’s work is great, if you look at it from the starting point of liking our company’s game style, Uesugi’s work will be accepted. The degree will be higher, the ability to attract fans will be stronger, and the chances of future sequels will be greater."

Abogen Haizi looked at and took out a bunch of design drafts out of some envisioned designs, and said.

"Right... Haizi, I am the chief planner of this company. However, when I became a gamer, I just simply liked the game. I finally voted for this work. I really like this one. A script with a relaxed and serious style. If... I want to make a bet, will everyone in the company be with me?"

As he said, Hazuki Shizuku, who had always kept a soft face, raised his head, looked at Apogen Haizi with a smile, and asked.

Chapter 241 Welcome to EagleJump

EagleJump Game Club.

"...Wait a minute, I didn't understand what you meant just now."

Li Yan blinked and asked.

At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, in the office, Li Yan was invited by Ye Yueshizuku to the game club to talk about his game script. As a result, the other party put forward a special proposal, seeking Li Yan's consent.

After experiencing yesterday’s failure, Li Yan had not had time to heal his pain. At night, he received a call from EagleJump, inviting him to discuss the game script again. As a result, he heard it. An unexpected turn of events.

"With the permission of the president, I specifically asked Uesugi to come here again. People in many of our departments feel that the work written by the teacher is very attentive, and it is indeed a work worth investing and working hard."

Ye Yueshi put a cup of coffee in front of Li Yan, smiled faintly, looked at him and said, "We can't live up to your talents. Even if Feiying Yuedong is not a big company, there is not much money to invest in this project. , But I still persuaded everyone at the top to decide that the company alone will act as an investor to fund and develop this series of games."

When Li Yan heard this, he fell silent immediately.

Invest alone...

Such a risky investment method is quite dangerous for a small game company with more than 50 people. Not to mention how well it sells. If it loses money, this company is likely to go bankrupt, or reorganize its assets.

As a result, the director of this game company decided to take this risk and decided to bypass the investor and develop the company independently.

"In this case, is the risk too great? Although I am very happy that you like my game script, there should be many factors that determine the quality of the game. Once the sale fails, it is likely to cause your business to get into trouble, right? "

Li Yan asked with a worried look.

Hazuki Shizuku smiled and asked, "Ah, is Uesugi teacher questioning Feiying Yuedong's development capabilities?"

Li Yan showed embarrassment and said, "No, there is no such meaning..."

"Just kidding, such risks are naturally there. Therefore, I assume all the responsibilities for this project. If the sale fails, I will directly resign from the position of director of EagleJump. In the future, other companies may also have a future because of this taint. Worry."

Hazuki held the coffee and explained the situation with ease.

Li Yan didn't know what to say for a while. Such a risk, even if she didn't need to say it herself, would have serious consequences for investment failure.

Hazuki Shizuku immediately looked a little serious. She said: "But even so, I still have to take a gamble. Japanese game companies are not so easy to get salaries, and it is basically an industry that needs some outsourced labor to support. Not only is it thankless, but the risk is also quite high. Therefore, most of the people in the game industry have a deep love for games, and they are willing to put their careers in the game production industry."

"So, when I understand that the investor has forcibly denied your script because of the profit problem, we, as gamers, are also very sad. The essence of the game still needs the most fun and fun. We, including the president, , Both agree to use the company’s own funds to adapt and develop your game script and make a series of games whose copyright belongs only to EagleJump."

In Hazuki Shizuku's words, it seems that he is also resisting the dissatisfaction that everything is heading towards money, depriving the game player of his full power of creative freedom. This dignified, easy-going and somewhat mischievous company leader gathers all the power of the company and puts hope on the game "Witch", trying to weaken the capital control of foreign investors from France and Spain. force.

"..."

Li Yan understood that Ye Yueshizuku, as well as the high-level people behind her decision-making, had put the company's future as a bet on his game script.

The development copyright of the "Elf Story" series and the mediocre "Star Kingdom" are largely controlled by the cooperating investment company. EagleJump, who has worked hard for more than ten years, has never given up his wish for independent development.

No matter how interesting the script is, it seems to shoulder too much burden at this moment. Now, EagleJump officially invites him to join this gamble.

"We are all ready to go all out, what do you mean, Uesugi-sensei?"

Hazuki looked at him with a smile and asked.

"...I also want to know more information. Do you have any other safeguards that can guarantee the quality of this game?"

Li Yan asked after thinking about it.

After Hazuki heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She nodded, her glasses gleaming, and said, "Yes."

“By bypassing the investors and starting the development of new works, while letting a 53-person game company develop two games, the risk factor for small companies is quite high, so there is really no way out of the battle. Therefore, except for us, we are responsible for the whole process. In addition to this game, more people will be recruited temporarily, and students without any qualifications can speed up the development progress. In addition..."

Hazuki Shizuku stretched out his hand, made an inviting gesture, and said with a smile: "Ms. Uesugi, on behalf of EagleJump, I officially invite you to join our game planning department. Your participation is likely to be related to the success or failure of the development. We, EagleJump, need you to make it together. This game."

※※※

In the early morning of October, the hot Tokyo metropolis has been in a busy scene. The intricate urban transportation network carries people coming and going to and from get off work, shuttled through various administrative regions.

Li Yan, in the EagleJump company, agreed to Ye Yueshizuku's invitation and temporarily joined this small and sophisticated game company in a part-time manner.

As an international student, Li Yan obtained a work permit very early. Sanhe Library has always communicated with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. Naturally, writing is not limited by time. However, if you directly participate in company work by name, there is a certain working time limit. That is, you cannot work more than 4 hours a day.

Therefore, in EagleJump's company, Li Yan can only choose to start tracking his game script at 6:00 pm and work until 10:00 pm. Naturally, the salary and benefits are also well counted for Li Yan, and he can even write during working hours without restriction.

"Salaries... and benefits are super good." Li Yan looked at the contract documents and thought to himself.

"So, Mr. Uesugi, the remuneration for the game script will be paid directly to you in accordance with the contract. As a trainee game planner, you need to be familiar with office software, preferably with relevant computer technology, and be able to use product prototype design (Axure ), flow chart (Visio), document data management (Office), mind mapping and other software. It is better to be proficient in programming and mathematics. These reference books will be handed over to you for the time being, and they will definitely come in handy."

Outside the office, Ye Yueshizuku handed a pile of thick books to Li Yan. The title of the book was almost a little strange, "Learn Axure Well, Let Rage Programming Be Less Troublesome", "Programming Without Hair Loss"... There is another one. The "Secret Skills of Ryukyu Karate".

"The last book must be studied carefully. As a senior planner with rich work experience, I recommend learning the one first." Ye Yueshizuku suggested with a smile.

"..."

Li Yan looked at Ye Yueshizuku, who was light-hearted, and felt that personal risk was much greater than liability risk in the risk factor of planning.

Naturally, Li Yan's self-defense skills are not a problem. In terms of programming skills, Li Yan also learned a lot of professional knowledge, and the rest should be how to learn flowcharts and product prototype design.

"Then, next is the newcomer meeting. Let's visit the art, IT, and music departments first. If you have other departments, you can meet again in the future. The main plan is to deal with these departments."

Hazuki walked a few steps, then turned back and said to Li Yan who had flipped through the book a little.

"Yes." Li Yan replied.

Whether a game is good or not is the cooperation of many experienced departments. All the details required for the game are added and perfected one by one to finalize the final shape. The map, maze and character design are completed by the script staff and the game planner. After that, it was directly handed over to the art team for design and 3D modeling.

"…what happened?"

When Li Yan followed Ye Yueshizuku along the company corridor, although he was observing roughly, he found something was not quite right.

As early as when he came in yesterday, he also had this sense of sight.

"Why haven't I seen a male employee until now?" Li Yan thought curiously.

"This is the art team, which can also be called the character team. All the characters in your pen will be designed and produced here after a little modification by me. Probably in the future, this will be the company you will visit the longest. One of the departments."

Ye Yueshi took Li Yan to the outside of a departmental office area closer to the door of the company, and said.

"Ah...what are you talking about, the character team doesn't really want you to come here every day."
