Chapter 134： Chief designer

Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. moved to Pingjiang City on July 13.

Chen Ping came to Pingjiang City on August 12.

During this whole month, Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. has basically been integrated. The game development technicians Xue Mingtao sought have been formally integrated into Coslight Technology Co., Ltd.

Other departments have also been organized by Xu Weihua. Although the current staff is not too much, the staff in all aspects have been improved, and all departments have begun to officially operate. The entire Coslight Technology Corporation has officially entered the system. On track.

And now Wang Yang, although he does not have the ability to take charge of the entire company, but he has been following Xu Weihua to learn to handle company affairs for some time.

According to Xu Weihua, Wang Yang's progress is very obvious. Although he does not currently have the ability to be alone, in time, even if the Coslight Technology Company is handed over to Wang Yang, there will be no major omissions.

Of course, Wang Yang did not intend to directly intervene in the management of Coslight Technology's daily affairs. Most of his energy is still placed on the management of the personnel department and the finance department.

But now, Wang Yang still needs Xu Weihua to help, otherwise, with his own ability, there is no way to handle the affairs of these two departments in an orderly manner.

After a month of stability, the development process of the game "Running Kart" has been officially put on the agenda.

Over the past few days, Xue Mingtao led the dozens of employees in the game development department and has begun to formally produce the development plan for this game.

At present, the game development planning has been completed, what is needed next is to officially start various matters of game development.

The preparatory work has basically been completed, and the development of this game can officially begin.

After Chen Ping came to Pingjiang City, he participated in game development almost immediately.

On July 12th, Chen Ping learned about the various preparations for the current game development.

On the second day, the first thing Chen Ping did when he came to the company was to officially start the development of the game "Running Kart".

After that, everyone in the company put most of their attention on the development of this game, especially the members of the game development department, who worked day and night.

When Chen Ping came here yesterday, the promise of the bonus system that he made directly stimulated the employees who had just joined Coslight Technology, and all of them devoted themselves to the process of making this game with 100% enthusiasm. .

In the process of game development, many people were surprised to find that they thought Chen Ping was just the boss, and would not really participate in the game development process, but would only play a supervisory role.

But they did not expect that Chen Ping's role in the development of this game was even more obvious than Xue Mingtao.

Many precautions during the game development process can be foreseen by Chen Ping and even prepared.

It's as if Chen Ping had played this game before.

Regarding various issues in game design, Chen Ping was able to point out the key points straightforwardly. Some ideas were even discussed by Xue Mingtao and members of the game development department for a long time, but no final decision was made.

But when Chen Ping was here, he pointed out the most critical point in just a few words and gave his final opinion.

According to Chen Ping's solution, the design of this game can greatly shorten the time.

In fact, the time spent on game programming is not too much for the development of a game. In fact, it is only about one month. More time is spent on the early game design and even the later game testing. and many more.

After the development and planning of a game is completed, the first thing that is needed is the overall design of the game, and some minor details also need to be reflected in the game design.

During the game design period, the more detailed the process, the more time and effort will be saved in the later game development.

Under normal circumstances, a game only has a general direction and a rough framework at the beginning. The game design stage is to complement this framework and design it into a real game. All aspects need to be considered. comprehensive.

Then, after the game design is completed, you can officially enter the game development process. After a template is developed, the game will be tested in many aspects.

On the one hand, it is to test whether the game has major loopholes, and on the other hand, it is also to test the playability of the game.

After all, the goal of developing games is to make money!

If a game is not playable, let alone marketability, a game that makes no money will simply fail the test!

If after testing, the game's playability is not high, or the commercial value is too low, the game needs to undergo major changes, or even torn down and start again.

In the development process of many games, a lot of time, manpower, and material resources are spent, and so on, because they are overthrown and rebuilt again and again.

To develop a game that is truly marketable and has a sensational effect, sometimes it even needs to be reworked a dozen times before it can be completed.

But after Chen Ping joined, Coslight Technology's development of the game "Running Kart" has become much easier.

The first is game design. Although Chen Ping will not really participate in the production process of the game design plan, he does not have this ability.

But as long as Chen Ping is there, after Chen Ping's narration, the entire game appears directly in front of those game designers. They only need to design according to the game template described by Chen Ping.

Originally, the game design phase that other companies took a month or two, or even longer, was completely completed in less than one week after Chen Ping arrived.

Although the game "Running Kart" is not a super large-scale online game, it is a kind of online game after all, and all aspects involved are far more complicated than the game of "Plants vs. Zombies".

The original "Plants vs. Zombies" game, the entire development time was only half a month, but when developing the game of running kart, just the stage of game design, it took nearly a week time.

However, this has already amazed all the members of the game development department of Coslight Technology.

Without Chen Ping's help, this time would probably be expanded several times.

After the game design is completed, the next thing that needs to be done is to officially start the development and production of the game.

At this stage, Chen Ping could no longer get involved.

Although he was also a programmer in his previous life, he was not engaged in game development work. Although Chen Ping understood game development, he did not have the ability to intervene.

So after the game design phase was completed, Chen Ping was relieved.

During the next period of time, Chen Ping's affairs will be much easier.

Most of the affairs are to be handled by the technical staff in the game development department, but in the process of game production and development, some vague questions about game design are involved, and Chen Ping needs to answer them face-to-face. .

Simply put, Chen Ping has become the actual chief designer of the game "Running Kart"!

With Chen Ping's help, they don't need to test again and again for these problems, let alone modify the developed programs again and again.

Therefore, the process of game development will also speed up a lot, and it is expected that it will be completely completed in about half a month.

During this time, Chen Ping only needed to come here for one or two hours a day to deal with problems that occurred during the game development process.

After freeing up, Chen Ping calculated the time, and it was time for school to start in ten days.

Jiang University started school on September 1, but now it has reached August 20, and there are ten days left.

Chen Ping also wanted to use these ten days to do other things.

The house that Chen Ping rented is very close to Jiang Da, but although he rented it for a year, he didn't want to live here forever.

In Chen Ping’s previous life, although he had experienced college time, after graduating from college, Chen Ping would often miss the innocent days in college. He would often think that if he had the opportunity, he would want to return to the ivory of college. Go in the tower.

So after the start of the university, Chen Ping also plans to live in the dormitory for a period of time. Maybe he can meet some real friends.

Chen Ping, in his previous life, spent the rest of his life almost always busy, spending almost all of his time working and paying off debts, and had no time to get along with others.

Therefore, after graduating from Chen Ping University, he rarely has real contact with people. In more than ten years, Chen Ping has not had many friends.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ping cares so much about Wang Yang, his best brother in high school.

In the rebirth life, Chen Ping did not want to live like a lonely family.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of going to university, he also wanted to make more friends. In this way, his new life would be considered more satisfactory.

However, the university has not yet opened, and the vicinity of the school is somewhat deserted.

The university town of Pingjiang City was just established in recent years. It is located in the outskirts of Pingjiang City. A few years ago, it was an uninhabited area.

After the government passed the plan for the construction of a university town, the place was officially developed.

But now, there are only a few universities in the university town, and there is only one so-called business district, located in the middle of several universities.

But at present, the area of ​​this commercial area is not large, and there are only a few small businesses in it Most of them are small restaurants, and the large businesses have not stayed at all.

Chen Ping still remembered that when he was just in college in his previous life, there was almost no place to shop in the neighborhood. Most of the business district in that area was filled with restaurants and there was nothing to shop around. He wanted to buy some clothes and other things. Even go to the city.

You know, Pingjiang City is the provincial capital after all, and its area is not small.

From the university town to the business district of the city, it takes nearly an hour to get there.

This situation continued until more than a year later, when a large commercial plaza was opened near the university town.

However, the commercial plaza is still under construction, and it will take more than a month to complete the construction.

After the construction of the commercial plaza was completed, it would also take a long time for it to fully develop. Many merchants settled in, which changed the situation that there was nowhere to go near the university city.

And this is an opportunity Chen Ping wants to seize.
