Chapter 134: Chapter 132: What If Lincoln Made the Blaze DLC?
Translator: 549690339
Cloud Dream finishes work at 5 0’clock, and it’s really over at 5 0’clock!
Instead of being nominally off work at 5 0’clock, they actually work overtime until whenever, depending on the leader’s mood.
This news completely caught everyone off guard.
In everyone’s imagination, Cloud Dream can efficiently complete the development of “Assassins’ Alliance” thanks to the huge advantage of new technology and the hard work and dedication of employees.
But now, what Lincoln is implying is that they don’t seem to be busy at all!
Also, consider that Lincoln developed “Traveler of the Wind” in less than a week and completed multi-platform compatibility for “Traveler of the Wind” in just 3 days…
How ridiculously fast is this development speed?
What kind of devilish technology has Cloud Dream used?
Netizens once again thought of the halo above Lincoln’s head: Scientific Research Genius + Genius Game Developer!
And they have a whole new understanding of the value of these two titles!
What is a genius game developer!
Pushing the game’s carrier, content, and development methods all at once to a level that is difficult for ordinary people, or even peers, to understand is the true value of genius!
Some players couldn’t help but had an idea: “If Lincoln were to develop the DLC for “Blaze 3″ , it would have been completed by now! We would have already been playing it!”
This whimsical thought immediately met with opposition.
“Nonsense! If Lincoln were to develop “Blaze 3″, there’s no way the ending would be put in the DLC, isn’t that nauseating?!”
“Yeah! And this DLC has not seen any news since NetDragon announced the delay a half month ago! I strongly suspect that this project no longer exists.”
“Speaking of which, the father of Flames Quentin has gone to Cloud Dream, and I heard that the core members of the “Blaze” production team have also followed. What do you think, when will the copyright of “Blaze” be bought by Cloud Dream?”
“I wish it would happen! Might as well pray for Lincoln to hurry up and acquire NetDragon!”
“Bang!” Richard threw his mobile phone against the office wall with force, the phone instantly shattered, and broken parts flew everywhere, falling scattered on the spotless floor.
But even this didn’t alleviate his burning anger; he punched heavily on his office desk. If he wasn’t worried about his image, he would’ve been screaming in anger!
A bunch of useless idiots!
Looking at the frightened and silent assistant, he suppressed his anger and said, “Go get Henry for me!”
The female assistant lowered her head nervously and quickly left the office.
Upon leaving the president’s office, she realized that the employees outside had also become very quiet. They secretly glanced at the president’s office, curious about what had happened to make the boss so angry.
and most importantly, whether it would affect them.
The female assistant had no time to care about these things and worriedly
went to tind Henry.
Don’t get the wrong idea; she was worried not about Henry, but about herself.
Her boss Richard had been easy to get along with before, young and suave this was an important reason she took the job.
But Richard’s temper had been getting worse lately. Working with a hot-tempered boss is very difficult.
Carrying this concern, she found Henry.
Half a month later, the production of “Blaze 3” DLC is finally on the right track after much difficulty.
In this process, Henry vividly demonstrated what it means to have “no merits but still hard work.”
But in his case, there was no merit at all, just hardship!
What Henry did was to invite the heads of various production teams together and then hold meetings, meetings, and more meetings!
Meetings were so frequent that there were at least two a day. They had to check the progress of the previous day’s tasks at the morning meeting, then assign the tasks for the day, and then discuss any difficulties encountered and how to solve them at the evening meeting.
Without a doubt, this approach resulted in extremely low efficiency. The development time of the entire DLC might be delayed for as long as a whole
year.
Henry was well aware of this, but he was powerless.
Every time he was facing the boss Zack’s inquiries during high-level meetings, he struggled to cope.
He knew that Zack’s patience was getting worse, and so was his situation.
But he couldn’t catch up with the time to relearn VR game production, and he felt he was past that age.
Without understanding, he couldn’t determine which content was easy to produce and which content was relatively difficult, so he couldn’t reasonably arrange task cycles.
Letting each group leader report their own time would only make everyone take longer.
When someone encountered a problem, he couldn’t solve it directly, and he didn’t even know who to turn to for help.
When he asked a chief programmer, the programmer said, “VR-related program development involves many aspects; what you’re talking about is not my area of expertise. You have to find someone else.”
Henry asked, “Who should I look for?”
The programmer simply said, “I don’t know.”
Henry felt that he was being targeted by everyone, but he had no evidence.
He single-handedly pushed for the early release of “Blaze 3”, which led to a big mess. NetDragon was being scolded by countless players, and all the game production teams had to squeeze out manpower to participate in the development of “Blaze 3” DLC.
Since then, Henry found that his previously friendly colleagues had gradually become difficult to talk to.
Even friends he had worked with for years turned cold. All these problems forced Henry to hold meetings every day, reporting progress and communicating issues during the meetings.
This method was inefficient, but at least it kept things moving.
As Henry left with the boss’s assistant, the meeting naturally couldn’t continue.
The deputy planners from several other production teams let everyone disperse and return to work.
But the three deputy planners didn’t leave. Instead, they waited for everyone else to leave and then sat down together to discuss in low voices.
“Jason, are you sure you want to do this?”
“Yeah, it’s so torturous! If this goes on, not only will our original game development be affected, but I worry that half of our team members will leave!”
“That’s why we have to drive him away!” Jason said firmly: “Now Cloud Dream is gaining momentum, and the new generation of game consoles is coming in full force. Every single day is crucial! Yet we are wasting valuable time and energy on meetings!”
Jason vented his grievances non-stop: “If we keep going like this, it’ll take a year to develop a DLC, and by the time it’s released, players will have long forgotten it! And it’ll drag down the company’s three game production teams, so all games will be delayed! Just think about it! No new games released for a whole year! For such a long period of idle time, let alone what would happen to Cloud Dream, Flying Fox and Wild Island will overtake us!”
The other two deputy planners looked at each other and said to Jason, “You need to think this through; if it doesn’t work, you might not be able to stay in the company.”
Jason didn’t hesitate at all: “If it doesn’t work, there’s no need to stay in this company any longer! I’ll leave even if they don’t squeeze me out!”
“Alright, we’ll support you! You’ll lead us, and it’ll be much better than that old
Henry!”
“It’s settled then! We’ll make him leave by the end of the month!”
