READ NOVEL ONLINE chapter 2
1. Producer Yu Tae-yeon (2)
Taeyeon devoted herself to checking her status window all weekend. And I was able to sort out a few things.
1. The status window can be easily turned off and on with a command.
2. Ability values show only job-related figures briefly.
3. The numbers in brackets next to the ability are assumed to be ‘potential’, and are not displayed to everyone.
4. Likeability is the content that quantifies the degree of likeability that the other person has towards you.
5. You cannot check your status window.
‘It’s frustrating that I can’t confirm my ability, but… … But how much is this?’
Status window abilities aren’t everything.
‘My confidence is soaring.’
and another one.
‘My memory has greatly improved!’
Clearly, it wasn’t just a feeling.
The knowledge that had been diluted and obscured by the years was emerging as distinctly as if it had just been heard.
Even the things that have passed lightly are vivid in my memory.
Based on this, I am overflowing with the feeling that I can do anything.
‘This is obviously the bracelet’s ability.’
It was an unmistakable fact that her mood and memory returned to normal when she took off the bracelet.
This is your chance.
It is a great fortune bestowed by God.
‘It will be of great help if used well.’
Among producers who are recognized for their development skills, only a few experience success and many fail. And the biggest reason for that is ‘Yongin Sul’.
Even if you lack your own ability, if you can use people well in the right place, you can make a good game.
Is that all?
It is also easy to run the company later.
Taeyeon, who went to work with a pounding heart, ran into a woman in front of the elevator.
“hello.”
It was Yoon So-ra, a lively planner at the Pandaemonium development studio.
Taeyeon took a deep breath and recited the command she had prepared in her heart.
‘Status window on!’
Then, a translucent status window appeared in front of me.
[Sora Yoon]
Game Designer (Content)
System: 4/10
Content: 6/10 (15)
Level: 6/10
Scenario: 5/10
Likeability: 5/10
Content output is really concise.
It was difficult to clearly grasp Yoon So-ra’s level to this extent.
‘Let’s figure it out by comparing and analyzing today.’
Taeyeon thought so and moved to the studio.
* * *
You can’t change a lot in two months.
You have to look at the solution in planning.
‘Let’s focus on the scenario quest.’
In addition, there is work to be done.
It is to figure out the ability of the current workers and set a clear standard.
Taeyeon immediately summoned the entire planning team to the conference room.
2 system planners.
2 content planners,
2 level planners.
1 scenario planner.
A total of eight people, including the planning team leader, filled the conference room.
“You know that the representative tested the build version last week, right?”
Tension rises in the conference room.
“I won’t say anything else. We try to fix bug issues as soon as possible before proceeding with fix work. Please share the issues each of you are holding. First of all, the system part.”
At that, a fat man with glasses in a plaid shirt stood up.
“First of all, speaking of the combat system… … .”
[Minseok Yeo]
Game planner (head of system part)
System: 5/10
Content: 4/10
Level: 4/10
Scenario: 5/10
Likeability: 3/10
‘The system planning value is 5?’
Isn’t this a bit better than content planner Sora Yoon?
‘Come to think of it, you said that you were in charge of system planning at Sora Yoon’s first job, right?’
If so, if you compare the system plans of the two people, the answer will be how much the level is different.
Taeyeon thought so and checked the next person.
“I am Jeong Hun-seop of the system part. First, let me tell you about the skill system problems.”
[Jung Hoon-seop]
Game Designer (System)
System: 8/10(15)
Content: 7/10
Level: 7/10
Scenario: 6/10
Likeability: 5/10
‘hmm? The average ability is pretty high?’
Taeyeon’s eyes widened.
Of the three planners I’ve seen so far, he had the best ability.
‘This kind of person was just a part member?’
Taeyeon felt confused for the first time.
After the turn of the system part, the scenario planner stood up.
As a woman in her early 30s, this is her third project, a screenwriter in her fifth year.
[Suyeon Choi]
Game Designer (Scenario)
System: 3/10
Content: 3/10
Level: 3/10
Scenario: 4/10
Likeability: 2/10
“… … .”
Taeyeon put on a dazed expression at her lousy ability level.
Isn’t even the likability almost the worst level?
Choi Soo-yeon expressed her opinion in a sharp voice.
“It’s a waste of time, and the root of all problems with quests is the quality deterioration stemming from a lack of manpower.”
They do not even blame their own abilities, but attribute the lack of manpower to the cause.
Taeyeon ignored it and checked the next person.
Even indoors, he wore a hoodie, put his hands in his pockets, and dragged around slippers.
He once said he was an aspiring hip-hop musician.
[Shin Soo-kyung]
Game Designer (Level Part Leader)
System: 4/10
Content: 5/10
Level: 5/10
Scenario: 4/10
Likeability: 4/10
‘It’s halfway.’
Slowly, I started to get a feel for the numbers.
While listening to the presentation, Taeyeon looked around at the other non-presenters and stopped at a man.
‘uh?’
[Baek Young-hoon]
Game Designer (Level)
System: 5/10
Content: 5/10
Level: 6/10
Scenario: 7/10 (15)
Likeability: 5/10
‘What is this again?’
Why is the scenario ability so high?
Even the potential is open.
It was clear that he had done scenario-related work through some means in the past.
‘I didn’t know about this… … .’
The most urgent thing right now was the scenario quest. My head hurts just thinking about Choi Soo-yeon, but there was a hidden talent in the level part.
Taeyeon blamed herself for being insensitive.
It was something he would have known in some way had he paid a little more attention to managing the organization.
finally… … .
[Jeong Yoo-hwan]
Game planner (planning team leader)
System: 6/10
Content: 4/10
Level: 5/10
Scenario: 4/10
Likeability: 6/10
Finally, when all the planners finished their presentations, Taeyeon said a word and stood up.
“All the problems raised so far, the planning team leader organizes them in Excel, collects them by part, and shares them with everyone.”
Returning to her seat, Taeyeon accessed a shared folder that only the Pandaemonium development team could access. There were also resume and portfolio folders that only generals could check. Several folders contain all of the job application records.
After that, Taeyeon compared and analyzed the status window figures, portfolio, and current works.
I spent the morning like that.
* * *
‘I got it.’
Taeyeon checked the notebook she had been scribbling on for a while.
Level 1~3: sewage
Level 4~6: Medium water
Level 7~8: Master
Level 9-10: Veteran
‘The simpler the classification, the better.’
Sewage is just entering the industry.
Usually 1st or 2nd year students fall into this category.
Beginners who have some development knowledge, but cannot follow the contents of the meeting due to lack of experience.
Except for special cases, most of these are handled outside of power. The company also has the idea of investing time and money to nurture talents without expecting great success.
From the middle level, it refers to the level at which content can be handled in collaboration with each person in charge. From this point on, you can be treated as an experienced person.
Gosu refers to a person who is competent enough to lead the work of a part or team.
Veterans are people who can do their part perfectly no matter where they are assigned to any project.
These people are the protagonists of the project.
‘From this point of view, if we classify the generals of our planning team… … .’
Jung Yoo-hwan, the planning team leader.
Minseok Yeo, head of the system part.
Level part leader Shin Soo-kyung.
Joong-soo Ji Seo-ah, head of the content division.
It’s unfortunate, but it was an acceptable result.
Masters and veteran talents are expensive and do not apply well to small and medium-sized companies such as Bless. If necessary, you have to go and scout in person, but it is not easy to grasp this information.
After thinking about it for a while, Taeyeon finally made a decision.
‘Reorganization of the planning team will come later, let’s start with the scenario planner.’
* * *
“Younghun Baek, have you ever worked on a scenario in the past?”
“yes? How did you know that?”
Baek Young-hun, who was suddenly called into the meeting room, made a surprised expression.
“I remembered something I heard at a glance during the interview with Mr. Younghoon. Anyway, can you tell me exactly what you did?”
“I have published a novel in the past.”
“A serial novel?”
“yes. I published paid serials on a platform specializing in web novels.”
“Can I still see you? What’s the title?”
“It’s embarrassing to show you that I wrote it before… … .”
“It’s okay, so tell me.”
Baek Young-hun was embarrassed and gave the information.
Title: Moonlight Knights.
It was a fantasy novel.
After downloading and accessing the platform application, I searched for the title. The results were quite surprising.
At the end of episode 350, the average number of views is 5,000.
‘Isn’t that great?’
Taeyeon read the prologue carefully with anticipation.
Medieval European background.
The story of the ‘Moonlight Knights’, a special group that takes care of all sorts of dirty work under the king’s orders.
The overall atmosphere of the novel was dark, but the characters were alive. And the expression of the background, conflict, and combat elements was of a high standard.
Taeyeon praised with a smile.
“No, why did you work as a level planner instead of a scenario when you have such writing skills?”
“My dream is to be a game producer. It was my dream to make a game with the world view and story I created. But when you become a scenario planner, you can’t do that.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Planning team leaders and producers must be good at system and level work. Right now, PD-nim is also a system planner.”
“In that way, programmers have a much better advantage. They are the people who actually implement the contents of the plan.”
Baek Young-hoon did not respond.
Taeyeon smiled and asked.
“Do you have any plans to take on the role of scenario planning?”
“Me, me?”
“I think Baek Young-hoon will do well.”
“I’ve never done this before… … .”
“You are learning all the planning tasks. It is also of a fairly high standard. You secretly studied for other parts, didn’t you?”
“… … !”
It looked like he had seen a ghost.
Taeyeon’s earnest persuasion began.
“Do you know how precious a scenario quest worker who can plan is?”
“Is that so?”
“If you do it well, you can make a lot more money than a mediocre boss. Calling such a person is the ransom.”
“… … .”
I see Baek Young-hoon humping.
Taeyeon nailed it.
“I will pay special attention to next year’s salary negotiations. Instead, you have to play well enough in the position I expect.”
“If you are looking for a position… … ?”
“A really good scenario planner.”
Taeyeon put strength into her voice.
“Please show everyone clearly what Mr. Baek Young-hun is. And lead Choi Soo-yeon.”
“Am I Choi Soo-yeon?”
“Ms. Choi Soo-yeon, you know that you lack a lot as a planner, right? If you agree, you will become the head of the scenario part.”
“… … .”
“What would you like to do?”
Baek Young-hoon, who was constantly shaking, completely fell for Tae-yeon’s temptation.
“I will try hard!”
“Please take good care of me. Oh, please call Choi Soo-yeon as you leave.”
“Call… … Did you?”
Feeling her heart tighten, Choi Soo-yeon sat down in the seat across from her.
It was because Taeyeon was sitting with a colder face than the winter cold.
“I decided to leave the concept as it is and completely revise everything, including the worldview, main and sub-scenarios, quests, movement, character settings and tutorials. Soo-yeon, can you handle this?”
“… … !”
Choi Soo-yeon was taken aback.
Taeyeon abruptly asked her, who was unable to answer.
“Have you ever written a web novel?”
“yes? Yes, just tried before… … .”
“Then take a look at this.”
What Taeyeon showed was the serial version of The Moonlight Knights.
“Read it on the spot. I will wait long enough.”
Suyeon Choi was confused and started to read.
