The first thousand six hundred and eighty-four chapters
Mockingbird Games can be said to be one of the few companies in the gaming industry that recruits female programmers and leads a team of female engineers to develop game projects.
The most important thing is to be able to do positions and equalize salary. That is to say, Mockingbird Games does not have any gender-discriminatory differentiation, but only values ability.
To put it bluntly, working at Andy's company, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, different or the same, as long as you can make money for Andy, Andy will give the other party a status and money that matches the other party, treating everyone equally!
The job of being able to pay equally with male programmers is really not an exaggeration to be able to enjoy the same salary as male programmers.
In the gaming industry, female practitioners show an absolute low level, which is closely related to the essence of the gaming industry.
Under the premise of pursuing excitement and sense of accomplishment, which mainly involves male sensory experience, if you are the boss, will female *** developers participate in the entire game production?
The answer to the question is self-evident, and female thinking may become an obstacle. Simply put, all game companies prefer to recruit male xing game developers, which is the so-called "sexism".
However, Andy knew the future development trends, and everyone had a mobile phone. Later, the mobile phone even replaced women's special casual TVs.
Most female players have no resistance to games that combine cute, cute, warm, interesting and other elements. Since they know this rule well, it is naturally difficult to achieve the psychological expectations of female players for the game by relying solely on the strength of male developers. Therefore, it is obviously imperative to join female developers.
"Only women understand women", use the elements and themes that women like to do divergent thinking, deeply analyze women's psychology, and create works that closely match women's needs. In this way, a number of powerful tools for making money in the game world can be born.
"Dear, I like this little crocodile..."
In the conference room, Ivana sat next to Andy, saying to Andy with a smile on her face.
Andy smiled and continued to look at the test effect of "The Crocodile Little Naughty Loves Bathing" on LCD TV. Overall, he was basically satisfied. However, every time he heard the sound of water flowing in the game, his brows would frown.
"Haha, when I proposed this plan, Blair was also questioning the development of the game with crocodile as the protagonist. He said that seeing crocodile in the zoo was very scary and seemed to be eating him. He didn't think it was a good idea at all."
Hearing his boss' jokes, Eo Blair sitting beside him was not embarrassed, but shook his head and laughed: "To be honest, if I hadn't seen the image they designed, I would still question it. Now it seems that I was over-thinking."
When they heard the conversation between the boss and eo, the members of the team responsible for the development of this game were all happy, especially Lucy, the development team leader who was holding the trial display, was even more happy.
Of course, she admires and thanks her boss more and more.
I admire the boss's persistence and genius, and thank the boss for his trust in her. You should know that when the team of "Crocodile Little Naughty Loves Bathing" was first established, only six people were assigned, and the development requirement was a simple but high-quality game.
This is a model that emphasizes short-term and low-cost, which is still very stressful for Lucy, who led the team independently for the first time. After all, this is the big boss's plan. You should know that Andy Smith's plan is a money-making weapon widely recognized in the industry. There have been many popular games for this. Lucy is really excited and worried and afraid to be responsible for this project.
Fortunately, Andy did not set any restrictions on the team at the beginning, whether in terms of timetables or budgets.
Lucy, who gritted her teeth and held back her breath, did not disappoint Andy. She really worked day and night with a team of six. Because the team was small, she worked even bigger. The design of this game was completely developed by Lucy based on Andy's plan, and even the artists were taken turns to serve as part of the artwork. Lucy sometimes also took charge of some programming work. It took about four months in total, and "Crocodile Little Naughty Loves Bathing" was finally initially developed.
"Okay, let's just show it here, Lucy, it's done well." Andy said, praising Lucy with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Thank you, boss." Lucy breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and was also excited and happy. She knew that as long as this game was launched, once it became popular, her career would be very different, whether it was in the company's position or profit dividends.
"Haha, don't rush to thank me for it." Andy waved his hand with a smile. In the confusion of Lucy and the team members, he continued: "Give you another month, can the quality be improved?"
When Lucy and the team members heard the boss's question, they couldn't help but look at each other. To be honest, in order to hurry up, they really didn't handle some details in the game well.
Although the current games already have beautiful game graphics, colorful game levels, easy and wonderful game music, simple and easy-to-learn operation methods... they should also be very attractive to players.
But flaws must exist, and they are also clear about this. However, in order to complete the development as soon as possible and make money on the market, there are some minor flaws, and they will improve them in the second edition. To be honest, that's what they think.
"...Yes, boss, you can improve the quality of the game."
"The difference between 4 and a half stars and 5 stars is very big, and there is a hundred times the distance between small successes and big successes. The image flow effect can enrich the player's visual effects. With good background music and rustling sounds, the audio-visual effect of the picture should make each player feel relaxed and happy, rather than repeating a sound rigidly!"
Hearing Lucy's answer, Andy nodded with satisfaction, and then looked around the people in the conference room with a serious expression and said, "Quality and persistence in game quality are the secrets of our success all the time.
For the Mockingbird company today, the importance of the mobile game business is no longer just profitable. You should clearly understand that mobile Internet and social networks are the general trend, and the influence of smart mobile device platforms on the new generation is becoming more and more important. Only through this platform can our brands and products be better transmitted to a wider population.
Mockingbird's production must be a brand concept of fine products. It is not just a shout-out, but just a little advertisement can be considered a perfect start. Don't squander this capital."
Andy's words made everyone in the conference room nod their heads with serious expressions to show their understanding, while Ivana, who was beauties, turned into a little fan with admiration.
In the office, Andy said to Ceo Blair: "The company is developing too fast, you should also pay attention to the impetuous atmosphere within the company. I also understand that every development team hopes that the project they are responsible for will be listed as soon as possible to help the company make money, but it must not be at the cost of reducing quality. This point you should emphasize in the next meeting.
It’s just a new company. Although it has made a lot of money, it is impossible to compare with leading companies like ea and Nintendo. It still needs to stabilize and focus on quality development. Don’t be proud of it!”
Blair's heart burst, nodded with a serious expression and said, "Okay, boss, I will convey what the boss means."
To be honest, not only his subordinates are a little arrogant, but even his ceo is very arrogant. During this period, he has received many media interviews and is considered a striking figure in the industry. He is inevitably a little proud. Alas, the waves are so big... The words said by his boss may also mean to hit him.
Looking at Blair with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, Andy nodded faintly. He believed that Blair was a smart person and could understand his words. Not Andy was cautious. He felt that Blair was famous and had stolen a lot of limelight. To be honest, Andy didn't look down on that little exposure. The key is that this kind of impetuousness that will bring some mistakes to the company and even lead to some failures. This is what Andy cannot allow.
"Dear, the development of the game company is really amazing!" Ivana held Andy's arm, with a very surprised expression on her pretty face. Looking at the former open space that had completely become a parking lot, there were densely packed with cars. This made Ivana, who had seen the game company in the original state, not sigh.
Andy hugged Ivana standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window from behind and kissed her on the cheek, "It is a good thing to develop quickly, but there have been many problems. It seems that in recent times, I have to spend some time here and preside over the work."
"Haha, how can a company with rapid development be without problems? Don't worry, as long as the general direction is good and strengthening administrative management, the key is that success is too simple and too fast, the company will inevitably be a little impatient and proud. This kind of emotion is good and bad for the company's development, and don't deny it all at once." As the executive vice president of a group, Ivana naturally is not a big deal in management. She also sees some clues from the words and deeds of the management of some game companies she has come into contact with.
