The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

19. Full service (2)

Early moning.

Taeyeon thought as she went to work.

‘If it was originally like a new work, I would have started an emergency work system for at least a year… … .’

No matter how much testing and fixing, bugs are found in piles when the service is started. This is because things such as the play environment and game method are different for each.

‘Monster Eater doesn’t have to do that, but I still have to pay attention to the first update.

In addition, since you are not going to be in charge of the operation, you must decide in advance a successor producer, pass it on at the right time, and leave.

‘This is not my game. The projects I’m working on right now aren’t just one or two… … .’

There is nothing in particular that drops when sales hit the jackpot. Holding on to it will only drain your stamina.

‘I have to complete the work process and work guidelines by this month.’

3 months.

When the first update is completed after the Korean service.

Taeyeon thought of that point as the time to step back.

However, Taeyeon did not yet know that things in the world often do not go according to her will.

[Monster Eater. Sales exceeded 10 billion on the first day of opening!]

[Neckple momentum in record sales and pouring reputation!]

[PD Satoshi Takizawa. I am sincerely grateful for the explosive support of Korean users. I promise to do my best to provide a wonderful experience with PD Yoo Tae-yeon.]

Nexple’s intranet and office worker community were on fire.

-omg. 10 billion in sales on the first day? It’s not a partial payment, it’s a flat-rate game?

└ It’s different because it’s a world-famous game.

└Although the original work was very famous, the localization of the game is really good. The translation is good, and a lot of optimization problems have been solved!

└ IP Suck + Yu Tae-yeon P

The industry was appalled.

It was such an amazing record.

Is it like this at other companies? … .

“Producer Taeyeon Yoo! Congratulations on the great sales!”

“I knew PD-nim would do it. I’ve been playing since in-house testing and it’s been so much fun!”

Everyone he met greeted him with congratulations.

[When you arrive, come to my office.]

It was a chat message sent by Chairman Yoo Jin-seong.

After completing the attendance check on the intranet, I immediately went to the chairman’s office.

“Did you see the article? 10 billion in sales on the first day!”

“yes. I saw you in the morning.”

I feel and look great.

“After that, sales did not drop significantly and were maintained steadily? How could that be? Isn’t this a subscription game?”

“It seems that word of mouth is good, so users keep coming.”

Lips twitch.

“They were generous with the compliments. What magic did you do? Tell me the secret!”

“I only cared about three things.”

“Three? what is that?”

“Localization. optimization. Quick response to feedback!”

seal once again.

“That sounds easy, isn’t it very difficult?”

“It is difficult. But you have to do it. That’s the scope of service for the game fees paid by users.”

“… … .”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong, whose face was strangely distorted.

“Puhahahahaha!”

I couldn’t stop laughing at the end.

“One thing you are really talking about is liquidation flow. I only choose the sounds I like. Have you ever entered and exited my mind?”

“I’m not that kind of a laid-back person. There are so many things to do.”

“A hard child. Let’s see, how many Nexple Plus employees are there now?

“Originally, there were 70 people, but recently, we have increased to 75 by adding additional personnel.”

“uh? okay? Why did I know it was 70? wait for a sec… … .”

The chairman, who was working hard at his desk, gestured.

“Come and take this.”

The white envelope was full.

“no way… … Is it Geumilbong?”

“Due to your personality, I don’t think you would like to take care of only you, and since it was distributed fairly, share it with your teammates. You and Myeong-wook take one.”

It means that he took care of himself and CEO Kim Myeong-wook.

in fairness.

Then, Taeyeon smiled.

“thank you.”

“Son, now you are responding. I’ll be busy, so I won’t hold on for long. go.”

* * *

It was still far from business hours, but the Nexple studio was full. The good atmosphere of the service also boosts the morale of the employees.

Taeyeon shouted loudly.

“Now everyone pay attention for a moment!”

“… … ?”

Everyone’s attention is pouring.

“The chairman gave all employees of Nexple Plus a golden salary. By the way, everyone was put in fairly regardless of rank.”

“… … .”

After a while.

“Whoa!”

“Geumilbong!”

“hurray!”

Cheers break out.

After distributing it to the employees and taking care of CEO Kim Myung-wook, he put the last one in his arms.

‘I’ll use this to buy a present for Yoona.’

With the official service season of Monster Eater approaching, the time with Yoona has decreased. She said that it was okay and that she could understand it, but Taeyeon wasn’t comfortable with it.

Taeyeon texted,

[Let’s shop at Pangyo Department Store at 6:00 tonight and eat together.]

The answer was swift.

[Are you okay?]

[There is room for that much.]

If it wasn’t a serious problem, I could do anything with a single phone.

‘Yoona is more important than work.’

If I had to choose between the two, it would of course be Yoona.

After making an appointment, I was immersed in work like crazy.

Identified and dealt with the issue, and while doing so, I communicated with Crying Soft and jointly worked on the first update.

This was done to match the update timing of the Japanese, global servers and Korean servers.

* * *

“Thank you for your effort!”

“see you tommorow!”

Taeyeon also hurriedly left work.

I took the car parked on the basement floor and moved to Yoona’s house.

[arrived.]

Shortly after sending the text message, a woman covering her face with a mask and hoodie jumps into the passenger seat.

“Is it okay to relax like this when the official service has just started?”

“For me, Yoona is more important than work.”

There was no answer. I look sideways and ask.

“Are you impressed?”

“No, chicken meat… … .”

“what?”

“I guess I’m not immune to cheesy yet.”

“… … .”

From the moment you enter the Pangyo department store, all eyes are on you.

‘No matter how much I cover my face, I can’t hide the proportions trained in gymnastics.’

Even as tall as a model, his presence itself stands out.

‘It’s not the time to reveal it yet. Let’s buy things as quietly as possible and come out.’

“Here.”

We arrived at Blue Lime, a sportswear specialty store.

“It is a brand that has recently become very popular among women who like to exercise. They say it’s the Chanel of leggings.”

“How did you know that, brother?”

“I heard the female employees of the company talking at mealtime. When I asked, women who exercise said that it is a national rule to basically have one of these.”

After hearing that, I decided to make a present because I wanted to have this.

“I often wear leggings for exercise. Let’s buy two sets here, including Seol-ah’s sister-in-law’s.”

“Are you taking care of Seol-ah?”

“You’re the person I’m grateful for connecting with us.”

“… … .”

“Oh, brother, I think I should buy a pair of sportswear too.”

Around the end of the meal, a call came from Nexple Plus Studio.

-PD. There was a problem with the game shutting down on some users’ PCs.

“Have you figured out the cause?”

– I don’t know for sure, but I think… … .

Taeyeon sighed after finishing the call.

I’m having a hard time opening my mouth.

“Can I go to work? Go quickly.”

“… … sorry.”

“are you okay. You finished your meal anyway. I got a nice present too.”

Yoona’s quiet smile seems to heal something.

“I had a lot of fun today.”

“… … I’ll take you home anyway.”

I’m going to take Yoona home and go back to work.

“brother.”

“huh?”

Yoona’s voice catches Taeyeon.

He said while waving the gift he had received.

“I will wear this well. Thank you for your consideration.”

“… … .”

I couldn’t think of what to say.

just smile

I checked entering the mansion and went back, but a text message arrived soon after. I sent a wearing shot.

[Exactly. really good!]

It fits really well.

In addition to the gold Ililbong I received this time, it was worthwhile to pour in my own expenses.

* * *

After solving the issue, it’s already two in the morning.

I was about to send a text message saying that I’m leaving work now, but I stopped because I didn’t want to wake her up.

And on the way back, I encountered an unexpected sight.

“uh?”

World famous sports brand store!

“Are you Yuna?”

On the outer wall hung a very large advertisement photo of Yoona Kim stretching while wearing an orange top and black leggings.

“wait for a sec… … .”

I stop the car for a while and hurriedly search for the brand name and Yuna Kim’s name.

[Me x key. Gymnastics Queen ‘Yoona Kim’ selected as a model for the women’s line!]

[The gymnastics queen’s women’s line. Vertical rise in sales!]

“… … .”

Taeyeon was at a loss for words.

‘You’ve signed an advertising contract with another brand!’

There was also an article like this below.

[More than 10 billion a year! 1 billion per side. Even after retirement, Kim Yoon-a has been defending her position as CF queen for several years!]

“… … !”

When I searched the wiki, the number of advertisements shot so far was too many to count.

‘I didn’t know this, and I bought a sportswear gift from another brand… … !’

My face is hot.

Don’t you know anything about his name as a boyfriend?

“Such an idiot… … .”

I’m not dumbfounded, so I just laugh.

Even the media says her estimated assets are ‘at least’ 100 billion won or more!

In front of her, he boasted that he had received a golden salary from the company and even flaunted it. No matter how much it was a joke, isn’t it the appearance of wrinkles in front of the chrysalis?

‘I really don’t know her.’

From now on, when I buy a present or take someone somewhere, I think I will have to think a lot before proceeding with the work.

* * *

A sleepless night passed.

I go to work, check the issues that were dealt with the day before, and then check the progress of the patch. In addition, the issues accumulated last night were handed over from the operation team and the work was handed over to each team.

‘Once again, I can feel what an amazing team Takizawa Satoshi’s division is.’

Even though it is a game that was originally serviced… … Anyway, isn’t it new in Korea? However, I wish there could be fewer issues like this.

‘That’s how talented the producers and development team are.’

After the meeting, we organize the progress of the issues and hold a video meeting with the Crying Soft team. It is a game that has just been serviced in Korea, so we pay special attention to it.

What issues did you have, how are you going to handle them, and how far you plan to work today. What kind of work should be done at Crying Soft’s headquarters and what should we do?

After talking like that, the morning hours passed quickly.

Before lunch, I called Yuna Kim.

And he apologized right away.

“Sorry. I didn’t know that there was already a contract with another brand, so I gave it as a gift… … .”

Scarily at the end of her words, Yuna Kim burst into laughter.

– So I told you yesterday? I had a lot of fun today

“Did that mean that?”

Embarrassment also grows in proportion to Kim Yoona’s laughter.

On the other hand, imagining the sight of her bursting into laughter like this made me proud for nothing.

Taeyeon smiled and said.

“The gift failed, but I gave pleasure, so I will be satisfied with that.”
