After talking about some follow-up work on the game "Stupid Bird First Fly", Arthur, accompanied by Edward, came to the "Talking John Cat" which was released by LI when the studio was established and was re-engaged by Arthur. Become the game instant messaging APP project team.

The development progress of John Cat and Stupid Bird Flying is different. After all, Stupid Bird Flying has no way to compare with John Cat’s in terms of picture quality or music.

In the John Cat game, the technical position occupies the focus, the development schedule and development planning are basically technology-based, and the main strategy and planning have become auxiliary.

Prepare game framework, prepare various components, prepare basic functions such as communication protocol. It takes three to four months to determine the development time of each module and start the development of module functions.

Therefore, it is not so easy to develop a well-defined mobile game. After turning around, Arthur also knows that his plan is really nothing extraordinary.

Because in the game development industry, due to the unprofessional planning of the product, the entire team has to do too many wrong things. After all, the planning and writing the wrong document, change a few words and change it, but technical staff development and testing need It takes a lot of work to change it.

So at present, everyone in John Cat has started discussing and improving his boss's heinously simple plan, and Edward also devotes most of his time to the development team.

"...Fortunately, our staffing is relatively sufficient. In this project, I am also responsible for part of the work, mainly responsible for writing framework communication, and most of the rest are writing components and modules. The development team with good technology is the main and sub-team. The chief is responsible for writing instant messaging and synchronous voice changes. This staffing is also very reasonable."

Edward and Arthur stood on the edge of the office area of ​​the studio, smiling and introduced Arthur the details of the John Cat development team.

"Is this instant messaging idea that I temporarily changed, has it completely changed the difficulty of developing this game?" Arthur asked with a frown as he looked at more employees than the other studio.

"Yes, boss, the difficulty of development is not as simple as a mobile game, so the time may not be so fast."

"Can you lay out the framework and develop it in a game mode first, and then slowly update the version to add features?" After hearing Edward's words, Arthur pondered and asked again.

"Yes, this is what I want to propose to your boss. Recently I have been studying some popular mobile games on the market. I found that it is really not that easy for a game to succeed. Sometimes there is a lot of luck. Some The game, the code is particularly bad, but it makes money, and some code is very well written. When you look at the code, you feel that the architecture is particularly good, and you know that it was written by a sophisticated programmer, but it does not necessarily make money.

We can first make the entire program of John Cat an open modularity. Then, if we want to add any functions, we can directly add modules. After all, John Cat is plain, it’s still a game at all. Let’s put it on the market first. After looking at the response, we can decide whether to continue to increase investment. In this way, even if the response is not good, we can reduce the loss and think about new ways. "

Edward’s eyes flickered slightly, and Arthur’s proposal was indeed in his arms. It was just a mobile game. From the beginning, if the stalls were too large, and the investment of manpower and material resources was too great, it would be a little more than a loss. After all, the market response is unknown. , On the contrary, it is better to be steady and steady step by step. This is also the conclusion that their project team has reached after many meetings.

However, although they reached a consensus, the headache for them is how to persuade the bosses who are crazy to come up with a good creative plan, but do not understand a little bit of technology, and change their minds, which has become the biggest problem they have to face.

In the IT world, the most helpless situation for these technicians and the least want to face is that they do not understand technology-led projects!

Not only in the eyes of managers who do not understand technology, the project progress can be solved by working overtime and adding people. In their eyes, the progress of one person in three days is the same as three people in one day. The most speechless thing is, Often let the technology spend a lot of money to develop a function with lower priority and less output meaning, and this kind of manager who does not understand the technology will feel that the abilities of the developers are the same. He does not care about the principles of software design. Just complete it as planned. . .

Therefore, it is lucky for developers to meet a leader who understands technology and respects technology. If the person in charge of the company or the project is a technology transfer product or planning, it is simply a lucky hit for the developers!

But now, the sad reminder is that the boss not only does not understand the technology, but also the planning of this game. They are really worried that the boss they have not met before will come to a layman to lead the expert, and they will be exhausted by blind command. , And finally made a tuoxiang.

Naturally, Arthur didn't know the tricks in it, but fortunately, he was not the kind of person who could not listen to opinions. His greatest advantage was his self-knowledge.

He knows better than anyone, what he is good at and what he is not good at. To be honest, besides being able to grasp the pulse of time, grasp the general trend of the future, he can do some writing, know some antiques, and read more books, for other fields , He is really silly.

Fortunately, he has been bathed in the light of five thousand years of wisdom in the heavens since he was a child. There are many stories of ancient sages and kings that can be used for reference. People like him who have opened plug-ins only need to learn to use people, delegate power, and supervise Just balance, and leave the rest to your subordinates.

Now that you are at the top of the pyramid, you have to learn how to use talents for your own use, instead of dismounting and charging yourself. A billionaire yourself, can't you go grab a job with a subordinate?

If Arthur really only has such a pattern, then failure is his final outcome!

"If this is the case, then implement it according to the plan you discussed. For the IT industry, I am a layman. I only provide ideas and ideas. How to improve and make it is your business. I will not interfere or direct the process. It doesn't matter to me, I just have to wait and see the result." Arthur smiled and patted Edward's arm, and said very candidly.

Edward nodded slightly. He has a new understanding of the young boss's atmosphere and capacity. This is the person who does big things. He deserves to be a billionaire at such a young age!

After that, Arthur personally presided over a plenary meeting. First, he showed up in front of all the studio members to let them know whose job they were serving and let them see what his boss looks like.

Then listen to the development progress reports of the heads of the three game development teams. In addition to Dumb Bird Xianfei and John Cat, Fruit Swordsman has also set up a project, staffed and started development.

To be honest, Arthur actually took a certain risk when he set up a game studio. Although he knows how big the money is for mobile games, he is a layman who doesn’t know anything about technology. Look at the successful ones. Game companies, basically the first few founders made a game ~lightnovelpub.net~ Later this game made money, got the investment, then recruited people to slowly grow the company, open new projects, and individual teams Can be bigger at the time.

And it is certain that several founders must be able to stand alone in all aspects. The producer, technology, and testing must be relatively good. If a single game succeeds, the company continues to grow and develop and open new projects.

Even for a game company developed under this situation, if the speed of the company's development far exceeds the current skill quality of the company founder, if the skill level of the founder can keep up with the new project, the probability of success is high. If the skill level is not improved, the risk of failure will still be great.

Therefore, starting a business is difficult. It does not mean that a successful company can be created by spending money. What's more, if you are involved in an industry you are not familiar with, then the difficulty of success is even greater.

As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain. Therefore, if you want to be successful, Arthur can only create enough space for his subordinates to play freely. At the same time, he must master the rudder so as not to destroy the ship.

Of course, as a person who masters the general trend of the future, he will not be afraid of risks and difficulties, because the future belongs to the era of subverting logic, and it is easier for the outsider to subvert the insider!
