The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

1. Producer Yoo Taeyeon (3)

‘Well written!’

His elegant handwriting that he couldn’t even dare to dare!

After reading up to episode 5, Soo-yeon asked cautiously.

“Is the person who wrote this a newcomer this time?”

“This is an article that Mr. Baek Young-hoon published serially in the past.”

she asked with a dazed expression.

“Did you mean level part Baek Young-hoon?”

“yes.”

Taeyeon said to Choi Soo-yeon, who was shocked.

“I will entrust Mr. Baek Young-hoon as the scenario planning lead. Suyeon Choi should participate in the work as a planner, not as a writer. What would you like to do?”

Taeyeon was forced to make a choice.

Would you like to learn planning and start over?

Are you looking for better conditions to move to?

‘The latter is impossible.’

Choi Soo-yeon’s annual salary is 36 million won.

It is rare for a company to match this level to a 5-year-old scenario planner. She could go to a big company, but she doesn’t have the skills or connections to do that.

If you think about reality, what remains is correct.

In fact, there is nothing to say that it is humiliating.

Isn’t it right for people who do better work and know a lot to sit in managerial positions?

“What would you like to do?”

“I am… … .”

Unable to withstand Taeyeon’s pressure, Choi Suyeon lowered her head.

* * *

While Taeyeon was concentrating on reorganizing the scenario part, Kang Gun visited Nexple’s headquarters and met with Lee Tae-young, director of the business.

Lee Tae-young, a middle-aged man in a suit, said with a smile.

“Breakthrough is a very attractive game. Sales are steadily increasing, and the content of the patch is good, so user reviews are good. The management headquarters also praised the game for being very easy to manage and fun.”

Kang Gun’s expression brightened at Lee Tae-young’s praise.

“It’s thanks to the good work of the Nexple operation team.”

The two, who continued a friendly conversation on a light topic, brought up the main topic when the atmosphere had matured to some extent.

CEO Kang Kun spoke first.

“As I said before, Pandaemonium will be ready for testing in two months.”

Lee Tae-young took it seriously.

“In fact, I am also satisfied with the work you showed me the other day. Wouldn’t it be nice to sign a publishing contract right away and create a brand website and start promoting it?”

“This game still has a lot of work to do. In fact, I am seriously considering returning to my practice these days.”

At those words, Lee Tae-young tilted his head and asked.

“Isn’t Tae-yeon Yoo the current Pandaemonium development director?”

“uh? Uh, how did you know?”

“How did you find out? However, according to what I heard, they say that they are young but have considerable development skills… … .”

CEO Kang Geon, who quickly calmed down his expression, spoke in a heavy voice.

“As the planning team leader, it was good. When I entrusted the management of the live team, this friend couldn’t handle the work and struggled. It was just the team leader’s bowl.”

“Ah, so that’s what happened.”

“So I’m trying to get back to work. I seem to be working hard, but the results aren’t up to my expectations… … .”

CEO Kang Kun said again with a bright face.

“Since this is the situation, don’t worry and wait for two months. I will never disappoint you.”

“I believe.”

After the hour-long meeting, CEO Kang Geon left, and Lee Tae-young called someone.

Moments later, a sharp-looking middle-aged man wearing black horn-rimmed glasses entered Lee Tae-young’s office.

He was Son Young-sang, director of development at Nexle.

“I’m busy, what is it? what’s the matter?”

Lee Tae-young asked with a friendly smile to an old friend who grumbled as he sat down.

“There’s something I want to ask you, you know PD Yoo Tae-yeon, right?”

“You know. That friend, I told you. It’s a skillful and competent developer, but it’s a pity that I missed it.”

“I just met CEO Kang Geon, and he said something strange.”

Lee Tae-young told the story he had with CEO Kang Gun. Son Young-sang clicked his tongue and said.

“Nothing Choi said was wrong.”

“Why is the story of PD Choi suddenly appearing?”

“I told you before that it was Yoo Tae-yeon who connected PD Choi.”

“Oh, right. It did.”

“The developer endorsed by PD Choi is PD U. Even these days, they keep in touch often and say that they are close friends. They said they helped me a lot during the development of the previous game. What more do you need?”

“Then, what was CEO Kang Kun thinking when he said those things?”

“Isn’t it obvious? They’re afraid that U PD’s influence will grow. Either that, or he is blinded by his reputation as a developer and is trying to get the spotlight alone.”

Lee Tae-young asked with a frown at the harsh remark.

“Do you have a grudge against CEO Kang Gun?”

“I didn’t like it very much from a long time ago. I have a few people I know who worked with him and then left in a shudder.”

“Something like that happened.”

Lee Tae-young said with an expression that he knew for sure.

“It was for this reason that I requested an extension of the publishing in-house test. After putting Yoo Tae-yeon down, he wants to take the place himself.”

“… … .”

“It will all be over if we catch a good game and make a good contract, but Yoo Tae-yeon, producer, will be hit hard.”

“I guess so. Because I respect CEO Kang Geon, I rejected the good offer and followed the loss.”

Son Young-sang, who was thinking about something with a sad expression, stood up from her seat. Lee Tae-young asked.

“Are you going to tell that friend?”

“What am I doing that for? I’m just going to meet PD Choi.”

When Son Young-sang left the office, Lee Tae-young smiled.

“Anyway, I’m not here… … .”

* * *

Taeyeon, who was called by Kang Gun, put on a dazed expression at the sudden declaration.

“Prepare a spot for me on the development team.”

‘what is this sound?’

Taeyeon stuttered in confusion.

“again… … Would you like to participate in the development?”

“The reputation of our company is at stake. I don’t have to do anything either.”

If that is the will of the company representative, there is nothing you can do.

‘You must have lost a lot of sense… … .’

The previous work Breaking the Limit was the last work to participate in, and although he was named as a producer, Taeyeon was in charge of the actual directing.

After that, it was Kang Gun who devoted himself only to managing the company.

Are you going to come back and get involved in game development?

‘I must have lost a lot of sense… … Let’s check the status window.’

Checking Kang Gun’s status window, Taeyeon frowned. Kang Gun asked at the unexpected change in expression.

“what’s the matter?”

“yes? it’s nothing. So, when are you going to start working?”

“tomorrow.”

“yes. I’ll finish setting up my business today.”

Taeyeon, who left the office as if running away, recalled Kang Geon’s status window.

[lustiness]

CEO (Game Producer)

Game Development 5/10

Game Operations 5/10

Workforce management 5/10

Business sense 6/10

Likeability: -5/10

‘Your affinity is minus 5? what’s this?’

Could this be the case?

Right now, Taeyeon couldn’t even see other figures.

‘Could it be that the CEO hates me?’

Shocking.

‘What did I do wrong?’

No matter how much you think about it, you haven’t made any mistakes.

From the time he was a freshman until now, he faithfully followed CEO Kang Gun’s instructions. I never did anything that got on his nerves.

He never even said a word about compensation without a promise. I was just groaning inside.

Nevertheless, the favorability is a negative number.

‘No matter how much I think about it, there’s no reason for that.’

Even after returning to her seat, Taeyeon, still in shock, sat staring blankly at the monitor. I have a lot of emotions now, but Kang Geon was my teacher and also the object of respect.

– Whoops!

At that moment, the smartphone placed on the desk vibrated.

[Final Study]

He was a producer from the system part who introduced me to Son Young-sang, head of development at Nexle.

As soon as I moved to the conference room and answered the phone, I answered in a gloomy voice.

“Are you a scholar?”

-hmm? I have a bad voice, what happened?

“Something like that happened. what’s the matter?”

– Let’s have dinner together tonight. I just heard a sound I couldn’t quite hear.

Choi Jong-hak’s voice was also serious.

‘It’s something related to me.’

Taeyeon, sensing something out of the ordinary, replied.

“See you where you always have been.”

Arriving at a Japanese restaurant in Pangyo, Taeyeon prepared two menus and looked out the window.

‘Why does the CEO hate me? Have I become unreliable now? Because I couldn’t live up to expectations?’

My mind was complicated.

After a while, a man with a muscular physique and a ferocious face reminiscent of a homicide detective sat across from me.

“Did you order your meal?”

“I ordered your favorite gyudon set meal.”

The meal came out as soon as the words were finished.

“Let’s eat and then talk.”

After the meal, a full-fledged conversation began over coffee at a nearby cafe.

“Yesterday Kang Geon-i came to see Lee Tae-young, Director of Nexle.”

The story begins like that.

After a while, Taeyeon asked with a face that had been beaten hard on the back of the head.

“that… … Really?”

“I’m just passing on what I heard from director Son Young-sang. You know he has good feelings for you, right?”

“You know.”

“I’m still guessing that Kang Geon had this intention, so why didn’t you tell him directly?”

After hearing the story, I was convinced.

‘It’s true that you hate me.’

More than any other fact, it pierced Taeyeon’s heart exceptionally deeply.

Choi Jong-hak spoke in an annoyed voice to Taeyeon, who was speechless with a wounded face.

“Did I tell you before? Don’t trust Kang-gun too much.”

“… … .”

“Hyung, you’ve succeeded in all the games you’ve been planning since you joined the industry. I don’t know anything else, but he was the number one contributor to the martial arts MMORPG imperial sword he made during the Dream Soft days, and the previous work Limit Break, no matter what anyone says. If it was a different company, he would have been rich a long time ago. know?”

Choi Jong-hak let out a sigh that was stuffy in his chest.

“What are you going to do now? I heard you told the development team to set up their seats? That’s what you’re trying to steal from hyung.”

“I think so too.”

Taeyeon nodded.

“Then what should I do?”

Taeyeon honestly asked for advice.

Choi Jong-hak, who was excited about his work, glanced at me and asked.

“Brother, can’t you throw away Pandaemonium?”

“yes. You know very well that this is my dream project.”

“Actually, director Son Young-sang wants to scout the older brother. This time, I brought some hero movie IPs from company D in the US.”

Taeyeon looked at her without speaking.

It was an unspoken pressure to answer the question without talking nonsense.

Choi Jong-hak laughed and asked back.

“In fact, isn’t the answer already decided? I just need your brother’s determination.”

“… … .”

“Are you ready?”

Taeyeon closed her eyes, struggled for a moment, then nodded. Choi Jong-hak smiled and started talking. Taeyeon listened intently.

* * *

Kang Kun started working on Pandaemonium development in earnest.

His first order was a business report.

It was his intention to take command after figuring out the progress of the work so far.

Taeyeon obediently followed the instructions.

Apparently it was.

“… … That is all.”

Kang-geon doesn’t like meetings that are unnecessarily long. Taeyeon was like that since she was a freshman. In addition to this, since she had a close understanding of his personality, Taeyeon satisfied him with a presentation for the first time in a long time.

“Yoo Tae-yeon, I want to make it clear before the meeting ends… … .”

After a brief pause, he spoke with a serious expression.

“I’m involved in development, but this is your project.”

Taeyeon listened to the words that followed.

“As a producer, I direct the production, but you have to participate and lead the overall practical work including planning. I mean, you know what I mean?”

If it was before, I would have heard that I had to work hard. But now it was different.

‘I’m going to lie down comfortably and eat rice cake.’

The anger was intense, but Taeyeon did not reveal her feelings. Now was the time to hide the claws.

“I will do my best.”

“good. go.”

After leaving the meeting room, Taeyeon’s cold eyes flashed.

* * *

Shortly after, the articles started popping up.

[Star developer Kang Geon declares return to active duty!]

[Preparing for the secret casual MMORPG sortie!]

[Producer Kang Gun, start directing again!]

Although the publishing contract has not yet been concluded, enthusiasts were the first to be enthusiastic about the fact that another new work is being prepared after breaking through the limits.

Reporters came to film the development site and interviewed the three top developers along with the art director and program lead.

However, Taeyeon’s name was nowhere to be found.

It’s not that there’s no mention at all, but it went down in the prominent main, and mostly only Kang’s name was highlighted.

– What did I say? Didn’t you say that man was obviously going to play tricks?

Choi Jong-hak, who could not stand it, called and broke the quarter. Taeyeon sighed and said.

“I’m angry too, but… … what can i do It was already planned and there is nothing I can do about it. You should be holding back now. You told me to do that.”

-That’s right, but… … Oh, I thought I was going to die of rage while reading the real interview article. What is Ji a star developer?

Taeyeon, who was grateful for her younger brother, Choi Jong-hak, who took offense at him as if it were his own, said with a smile.

“as you know… … The real development starts now. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do afterward.”

After two months like that, the Pandaemonium test was finally conducted by the Nexple Development Headquarters and Publishing Headquarters.

* * *

Son Young-sang, who was conducting the test for a while, took off his horn-rimmed glasses and pressed his forehead. Then someone came to his seat and offered him a cup of cold Ahh.

It was Lee Tae-young, a friend and director of the Nexple business.

“how is it?”

meaningful question.

Son Young-sang took a sip of coffee and answered.

“This will definitely work. As long as he keeps making this game.”

“Have you already decided?”

“I knew my skills well before, but this time I decided for sure.”

Son Young-sang’s voice gained strength.

“Producer Yoo Tae-yeon, I have to bring her.”
