81. Taeyeon’s Choice (1)
‘Is it a social RPG if you dare to consider the genre?’
Unusually, various kinds of fun were attempted by characterizing snacks from around the world, classifying them, and introducing level-up, PVE, and PVP systems.
A manor house decoration system, commonly referred to as palm trees, was also introduced.
‘I’m sorry about the graphics, but that’s not an important issue at this point.’
It was a game that would be liked by the younger users and those who are not fond of cute things.
‘There must have been a reason why Team Park made a fuss until they came to visit me.’
But there is a problem.
‘I don’t think these guys are the only ones… … .’
In particular, traces of Park Kyung-yeon were revealed in the level design and system design.
“So this game… … .!”
i think i saw it somewhere
Think carefully.
Then I realized.
‘Ah, then… … !’
Before leaving Bless, I remembered the conversation we had over chicken and beer at our dorm.
‘I want to make a cute and charming mobile game! In what way… … .’
give attention
Park Kyung-yeon was watching the students’ passionate presentation with great satisfaction.
“… … That concludes the presentation of ＜Snack Empire＞!”
bright eyes.
Taeyeon opened her mouth.
“Before making a decision… … .”
Look at Park Kyung-yeon and say.
“Are there any other teams that teach?”
“What, is that natural?”
“If possible, I would also like to hear their presentations… … .”
He looked into Park Kyung-yeon’s eyes and said.
“As friends taught by Park Tim.”
“Our game… … .”
“Eh, so… … .”
Taeyeon thought while listening to the presentations of the four teams.
‘Traces of Park Tim are all over the place.’
I don’t know how many conversations we’ve had while working together and being close. Although she had a good memory, Taeyeon, who had a memory equivalent to that of a supernatural power thanks to the power of the mysterious bracelet, remembered it in detail.
‘Should I say that the seeds were planted?’
Certainly no other team has the quality of Rising Storm Studios. The Park team was not a team that they came up with confidently for nothing. But other teams’ ideas aren’t bad either.
‘There are many good things to play lightly.’
So if you ask me if I’m willing to invest, it might be a little worrying, but… … .
‘The important thing is that talent development is being done properly.’
If this happens, Park Kyung-yeon, who has raised the students to this point, will be coveted more than these students.
‘He’s the right person to be a professor at the academy that Mars Games is promoting.’
Taeyeon’s eyes were shining towards Park Kyungyeon.
The presentations of the 4th graders are all over.
Unfortunately, the other teams hadn’t released test builds yet. It ended with a line that gave them helpful advice.
Rising Storm Studio, which is preparing for release, seemed to need more detailed feedback.
“For Snack Empire, I will try to play the game myself and organize the documents and send it to you. Anyway, thank you all for your hard work today.”
Taeyeon said to Park Kyungyeon.
“Let’s have dinner together.”
“Is that so?”
The place they moved together was a small pub located on the road behind Yeoksam-dong.
“Is there a reason you came all the way here?”
“Because it’s run by our employee’s parents.”
As soon as I finish talking, a sturdy middle-aged man comes out of the kitchen and welcomes me.
“Is the CEO of Aigo here?”
“Do you have a seat?”
“Sure! You have to make it even if you don’t have it. Let me guide you!”
It was a corner place, but it was a very cozy and tidy location without feeling dirty or uncomfortable.
“If you sit down, I’ll bring you beer and chicken by type.”
“No, you don’t have to go that far, just bring me fried rice and two 500cc glasses.”
I will serve you No need to. You shouldn’t do this. After a bit of squabbling, the winner is Taeyeon!
The owner backed away when he said that it would be difficult for others to find out.
Park Kyung-yeon asks Taeyeon as she sits down.
“You look very friendly, but are you really a regular?”
There are things like that, and the daughter of the owner of this store is one of the aces of our company’s planning team.”
“Oh, yes?”
“anyway… … .”
It’s time to get to the point.
“Snack Empire. Is that the Park Team plan?”
“… … … … .”
“I remember it well. Bless There was something similar to that project among the stories we shared over drinks at our house right before leaving the company.”
“Is it? I remember well… … .”
“It must have been because I was drunk. But I remember clearly. I thought it was pretty funny.”
“and… … Team Yoo, now that I see it, you’re a scary person!”
He picks up Park Kyung-yeon, who has a tired face.
“Looking at the games of other teams, there are traces of Team Park. What is your intention?”
“What is your intention… … .”
Just in time, chicken and beer were set.
After lightly clinking beer glasses and taking a cool sip, we start talking.
“They are all passionate friends. Full of will to learn.”
“It looks like that to me, too,”
“There are times when I bring them to my house and feed them with rice or alcohol. There are many friends who come from the provinces with just enough money for lodging and food, and are living a hard life.”
“hmm… … .”
“At first, I couldn’t get used to the fact that I was a professor… … As I continued to live like that, I was accepted as a disciple. Only then did I understand the feelings of Team Yoo. Team You, in effect, serves as a producer, teaching and feeding the team members even a little bit more… … You tried hard to send me to a good place when I left. I didn’t understand that at the time.”
“… … … … ..”
“Why is that friend doing that? But only then did I understand. So that’s what happened when I just spread it. Did Team You do the same? Mr. Choi Jong-hak, I played a game that hit the jackpot, and that system… … It’s just as I learned from Tim Yoo.”
Taeyeon smiled.
Park Kyung-yeon also smiled.
“It’s the same. Since I poured my all into teaching, it is only natural that my traces be revealed.”
“Aren’t you sorry? that… … I don’t know anything else, but Snack Empire seems to be a good game if it’s refined a little.”
“Did it look like that?”
“huh. It was a good enough mobile game even in its current state. If there’s a problem… … .”
“What?”
The eyes twinkle uncomfortably.
“What is it, tell me quickly. I’ll pass it on to my kids. huh?”
“Don’t rush me. anyway… … The problem is that it seems very bustling and disoriented.”
“exactly.”
“How the characters were born, what background stories they have, what purpose they unite for an adventure, and what kind of relationship they have with other characters.”
“ah… … .”
“I focused too much on the game. It’s good until you put everything in and mix it up. It’s good, but it feels like there is no main dish, just sauce and dessert. It means we need to focus more on character building, relationships, and the journey leading up to Snack Empire.”
“uh… … Do you really need to do that? It’s getting too big… … This is just a cute and cute game. It’s not some kind of epic like The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones.”
“No matter how cute and light a game is, if these groundwork is not properly done, the worldview cannot be clearly expressed.”
“I think I’ve already set up a world view… … .”
“Not enough. should be more thorough Even if the characters, lines, and overall atmosphere are light and pleasant, the worldview setting and background story that will be the basis for it must be composed very carefully and the foundation must be solid.”
“… … … … ..”
“Cute lines and actions should flow naturally from a detailed and thoroughly constructed setting, not from the spontaneous sense of the developers.”
“is it? Should I have built it more thoroughly? I thought it was full and overflowing… … .”
“Not enough.”
“Um, that’s right. hang on.”
Knock knock.
Tap your smartphone quickly and record Taeyeon’s advice.
“Again, is there anything else you want to say?”
“Isn’t that genre a social RPG?”
“Isn’t that the case if you have to consider the genre?”
“There is an RPG, but I feel that the social element is very weak. Guild House Guild Hunting, Guild Skills… … Something about this is not enough. It’s obvious and I can’t expect it.”
“Well, that was something I was feeling too… What should I do?”
“It is often said that palm trees or tycoon styles have gone out of fashion a long time ago, but… … If you know it, it’s a genre that has a thick fan base and is still being released steadily. I think it would be good to draw a more advanced form of painting with a keyword in this part.”
“For example?”
“… … … … ..”
Taeyeon stared at her and said a word.
“That’s for the workers to figure out.”
“Wow, it came out like this? in a mean way? You have to do what you said! I hadn’t even thought about the development of palms and tycoons… … .”
“You gave me a keyword to think about. So, keep thinking about it.”
“Okay… … .”
Park Kyung-yeon muttered with a troubled face.
“There are suddenly a lot of assignments.”
Looking at Park Kyung-yeon like that, Taeyeon smiled quietly.
@
next day.
Students gathered around Park Gyeong-yeon, who went to school.
“How have you been?”
“Did you have dinner together? Didn’t you say something about our game at dinner?”
“What will happen to us if we pass this presentation?!”
Everyone’s expectations were at their peak.
And it was the same for professors at the same game education center.”
“I never imagined that Professor Park Kyung-yeon would have such a close relationship with Nepple CEO Yoo Tae-yeon.”
“I… … Professor Park. I have a really good idea… … Would it be possible for you to set up a separate seat with CEO Yoo?”
Everyone is impatient.
I get it though
Who is Taeyeon Yoo?
Aren’t you the representative of the largest game company in Korea and the most popular star developer?
It’s really amazing to have such a deep relationship with such a great person. Among the professors of game education centers and academies,
It is a situation where there are overflowing people who are willing to return to work at any time when a good opportunity presents itself.
Everyone asked for a consultation with some kind of intention, or tried to ask for a favor.
‘I understand, but I have to do it in moderation!’
stress is creeping in.
In the end, it came to a sense of bewilderment.
‘It seems like I underestimated the position and influence of the U team too much.’
I was just trying to give my students a good chance.
But it was bringing about unexpected things.
Even the foreign professors and the director were in an uproar.
to make a place.
“I’m sorry, but that seems a bit difficult. Apparently CEO Taeyeon Yoo is a very busy person… … .”
I couldn’t bear to be firm with the director.
“I’ll try it out once in a while, but don’t expect too much. As the director knows, that friend is very busy!”
Even if I refused, I tried not to offend the other person.
But then what?
“You pretend to be proud.”
“Look at how much strength you put on your shoulders because you know CEO Yoo Tae-yeon.”
“I didn’t ask for anything difficult… … .”
What comes back is exuberant gossip!
‘I knew it would be like this.’
How did things turn out like this… … .
‘Let’s stop worrying and teach the children well.’
Especially the 4th grade students who are focusing on the project ahead of graduation!
This was an important time.
You can get a job in a good place if you lead them to complete a great game.
So I was immersed in development like crazy.
After receiving feedback emails from Taeyeon, I printed them out in large sizes and put them up in the development room, checking them one by one and working on them.
Finally, the second build version is complete.
“Now it is. Let’s play a game.”
While Park Kyung-yeon sent the game files to Tae-yeon’s e-mail and talked on the phone, the Rising Storm development team put their hands together and prayed.
‘please… … .’
‘I want to continue developing this game!’
