In the assistant’s mind, she had already imagined a drama where a city beauty was deceived by a countryman, got pregnant before marriage, and then raised the child alone.
Fortunately, when she heard Lena’s subsequent statement that they were still in the stage of confirming their relationship, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
“Director Lena, generally at this stage, we shouldn’t consider too much. After all, there are many variables in the future.”
The assistant’s words made Lena pensive.
Then, the pink-haired woman in front of the desk nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, if the child is born with wings, horns on the head, or a tail, then clothes and many other things will have to be custom-made.”
The assistant: “…”
These are not the variables she was referring to!
And Director Lena, what are you? A non-human fantasy race? Although you’re a game designer, please be able to distinguish reality!
While the assistant was frantically complaining in her mind, Lena, who had given up on “preparing for the future,” didn’t idle either. She started to focus on the present. After fiddling with her phone for a while, the assistant’s phone beside her immediately received a ding-dong message notification sound.
“Help me change the background picture of that public-facing social account. I’ve already sent you the new background picture. Oh, right! Also change the profile picture together. Just use that picture, too. Thank you for your hard work.”
Change the profile picture and background picture?
The assistant’s impression was that Director Lena rarely did these things and usually didn’t care.
When she curiously opened her phone’s inbox and saw the new background picture sent by Lena, the assistant almost fainted.
“Di- Director Lena…”
“What’s the matter?”
The assistant looked at this intimate photo of the pink-haired woman and the young man, their faces almost touching. What’s more exaggerated was that, from the photo, it seemed that… it was Director Lena who took the initiative to put her face close to the other person’s!
The assistant couldn’t imagine that if she really did as told and changed this photo to Lena’s background picture, what kind of huge waves it would cause on the internet.
Although their Director Lena was not a celebrity or idol.
But as a nurturing second-dimension mobile game, “Fallen Chronicles II,” Director Lena, who possessed both talent and beauty, or in layman’s terms, a beautiful young and mature female designer, had a huge number of fans among the player community.
The assistant hurriedly persuaded Lena and tried her best to finally make Lena give up and only change it on her private social account.
As for the reason, it was not the various adverse factors to her own image listed by the assistant, such as losing fans and being taken advantage of by peers to spread rumors and gossip.
Lena’s main consideration was that this would probably bring trouble to Renji.
After all, after such exposure, it was equivalent to putting Renji in the public spotlight, which would divert a lot of Renji’s attention and energy to deal with it, and it might even affect the young man’s normal life, which was not what Lena wanted to see.
Phew…
After stopping her Director’s crazy behavior, the assistant decided that it was very necessary to tell the president about this matter. Even if it was tattling, she had to tell Miyuki that a woman who had fallen into a love-struck state was simply too scary!
If it was president Miyuki, she would definitely be able to make Director Lena come to her senses, right?
Thinking of this, the assistant couldn’t help but recall the figure of that mature blonde woman whom they regarded as their spiritual leader, who had led the inconspicuous and fragile little sapling of Alliance step by step to become the vast forest it was today.
President Miyuki… please, come back soon!
If you don’t come back, Director Lena is going to be taken away by some wild man from who knows where!
After silently praying in her heart, in order to divert Lena’s attention, the assistant hurriedly brought up another piece of news at work.
Although it was not very good news.
“By the way, Director, there’s another thing. Didn’t you say before to let me contact that uploader on C-site? But when I tried to contact them, I found that someone had already beaten us to it.”
“Other game companies?” Lena frowned slightly.
The assistant sighed. If it were other companies, it would actually be fine, but the problem was…
“No, it’s also someone from our Alliance. It’s Associate Designer Zina, Hina’s people. I’m very sorry, Director. It’s all my fault for letting them get ahead of us.”
It was not hard to hear the regret in the assistant’s tone.
This matter was not big if you say it’s not, but it’s definitely not small either.
In any industry, top users should be the focus of the company. For a game company, top players are a precious resource.
For example, the business department would regularly collect information on the big spenders, send gifts during holidays, and invite them to visit the company, trying their best to maintain good relationships. This way, when it’s time to boost performance, the department with more big spenders under their belt can achieve better results.
As for design departments like Lena’s, they don’t care much about the top spending players. They are more concerned about the top skilled players.
Novel designs, diverse gameplay, the difficulty of levels and monsters, and other aspects of the game experience – if there are skilled players to help, provide suggestions, and conduct testing in these areas, it is very beneficial and important.
Otherwise, there will be classic player complaints like “Do game designers even play games?!”
After all, designers are already very tired from just designing various values and characters every day. Who would still have the time to play games?
Those who, like Lena, both enjoy playing and are devoted to designing are a minority.
