82. Taeyeon’s proposal (3)
late night.
On the way home alone after finishing chicken and beer time with old colleagues.
Taeyeon recalled Park Kyungyeon’s complaint
-I’m feeling it keenly these days. The fact that teaching kids is as hard as making games.
Teaching skills is also teaching, but the most important thing is to create mentality as a human being and as a game developer.
– When I was young, I saw all of my college-age brothers and sisters as grown-up adults, right? But not because I was taught. They’re just big boys. Ugh, we fight for some ridiculous reason, and because of that, we can’t even progress on the project properly… … .
I was very upset.
-I don’t know how long I’ll be a professor. I did it because I needed money, but… … I’m not sure. is it okay if i do this
It must have been difficult for him himself, to the point of death, but it was fun in many ways for Taeyeon, who was listening to it.
Because I can properly grasp the situation at the educational center.
‘He certainly has a talent for education. That’s why they’re discussing regular subjects at school, too.’
A short special lecture that was conducted to tell the 4th grade students not to make the same mistakes as themselves.
It seems that the response was very good and the content was good.
Suggestion to create and teach special lecture curriculum to students in all grades… … Because the instructions under the guise of . It was very good to hear what he had to say.
Because it is a valuable experience that is hard to learn anywhere, and a talented developer who has tasted a terrible failure.
On the one hand, I thought of this.
‘At the time, the difference in development between me and Team Park wasn’t that great. If I didn’t get the bracelet, sure… … .’
It may have been a situation that was not very different from Park Gyeong-yeon. No, it could have been worse than that. Anyway, the important thing is this.
‘Park Tim has a talent for teaching.’
increasingly confident.
Leaders who know what students need, continue to embrace with warm interest, and know how to lead them are very precious.
‘I’ll have to make an offer at the right time to make a seat.’

Park Kyung-yeon’s continuous interest and efforts have brought Rising Storm Studio back to life.
“update completed! Test it.”
“okay. Guys! Let’s finish fixing each part within today. Forget about going home early! I’ll buy you tteokbokki instead!”
The test of Snack Empire begins with the cry of Jung Ji-min, the head of the studio.
Test thoroughly, fix and update, then apply the patch and test again.

Most studios at the end of development look like this.
Fix, test, fix, test.
“Wow, this really never ends. If you think it’s done, something new will pop out!”
“But if you think you’re done with this, won’t something else come out when you release it? Commercial games made by real pros are like that, let alone… … .”
“It’s not too late to think about that later. Let’s focus on fixing!”
The closed beta test decided to borrow the power of the education institute.
It is to hold a day for about a week and conduct a test for students and professors at the education center.
This is also one of the benefits of the education center, and during this period, everyone in the education center was mobilized to meticulously test and check the game.
It would also be a good study to test other games from the developer’s point of view and point out the lackluster parts.
The busiest person here was none other than Park Kyung-yeon.
I mean studio, but they were young students who were still lacking in many things.
“No, you can’t do that. Look Carefully. Here… … .”
There were so many elements to teach and take care of.
‘If I can afford it, it would be nice if I could set up an independent corporation and run the company.’
You can set up a real corporation, or you can actually run a company in the form of a club, but in the form of a corporation.
The important thing is to develop a sense of running a real developer.
“… … But realistically, wouldn’t it?”
“It’s impossible for the education center’s finances.”
“I know. I just did it because I was frustrated. No matter how small, you need at least several hundred million to run a developer. But I think kids should know this so they can study more realistic development.”
Park Kyung-yeon drinks beer and notices Tae-yeon.
“It would be great if a big developer with a lot of money would support something like this.”
“hmm… … .”
“Ah, don’t be too pressured. I’m not saying this because I want something from Team Yoo! Let’s go, let’s drink!”
Talk to your heart’s content and come now… … .
Taeyeon laughed, clinked glasses and drank beer.
Then I thought.
‘It enables students to run a developer company. Not bad. We will need a lot of support, but it’s not impossible with Nepple and Mercury Games.’
No, Mars Games’ own sales alone are enough.
Elcross Re, which Mars Games is currently servicing, is so huge that even North American sales alone will make your jaw drop.
‘Shall I think about it?’
Setting up a real corporation is a lot of work to follow. It is best for the academy to prepare and operate its own system.
‘It’s buying or building a building to be used as a company office and paying the monthly rent for the minimum amount.’
But treating everything with money is too ignorant.
‘All I have to do is create and provide virtual credits that can only be used within this education system so that they can be used like money.’
It is to create a virtual economic system within the academy.
There may be a limit to the period of activity, but within that period, you will be able to grasp the market logic that reflects reality and learn how to respond to it with your body.
‘If this happens, the problem is how to set the tuition… … .’
Don’t even expect anything like state support.
If it is operated purely with Mars Games funds, and if it follows the existing US university tuition fee system, how much will it be more efficient?
‘It’s like making a game. It’ll be fun.’
“What are you thinking?”
At that time, Park Kyung-yeon’s voice brought Taeyeon back to reality.
Taeyeon stared at Park Kyungyeon before asking.
“The game called Atlantis, the undersea kingdom. Do you really intend to continue completing it?”
“of course. This is my vision project. To Team U, it’s like Pantheon and Pandemonium!”
“Do you want to stop teaching students someday?”
“I am a developer by nature.”
While he was saying that, he changed his words slightly.
“But these days, I feel… … Teaching students is also quite fun. If I had to choose one of the two, of course I would walk the path of a developer… … If not, I want to continue doing this too.”
grinning
“It’s different from teaching team members. I mean, it makes me really proud to lead my young students and watch them grow.”
“Isn’t it possible that the real talent was in education?”
“is it? Maybe so hahahahaha! Let’s drink!”
“okay.”
boring in the mouth Even if I sang a song that I was going to die, the truth was this.
‘I know that feeling well.’
It was Taeyeon who had already raised several disciples.
Taeyeon smiled.
‘He has outstanding development skills, outstanding personality, and has passion and talent for education… … .’
Aren’t you born to lead Mars Academy?

My mouth itched, but I held it in.
‘It’s not yet time. I’ll have to watch more. I need time.’
To himself, and to Park Kyung-yeon.

Time passed quickly.
The original version of Apocalypse Police has undergone its first major update.
All of the issues that were reported or rejected by users were resolved, and several scenarios and contents were added.
In the meantime, the second and third games in the Challenge League were launched and achieved good results. Members of the studio enjoyed paid vacation by receiving vacation money.
The official Nexle presentation was held.
The place is Samseong Station COEX.
It was held in the form of a game show so that people in charge could directly see and listen to the presentations and play the actual game.
There were two main games that received the most attention here.
Venus Project.
It was a gun-shooting RPG game, directed by star original artist Oh Young-wook. He, who had a reputation for drawing voluptuous women’s bodies very well, showed his full strength in this work.
Voluptuous pretty mercenaries walk the battlefield armed with firearms suited to their specialties and attributes!
In addition, there were many people who cursed at the Nepple class, asking if it was Gacha Mobile or not going anywhere, but it also received that much attention.
Pandemonium.
It is a PC MMORPG that shares the world view with Pantheon, which will be released later, and deals with what happens in the Battle of Manma.
Not only this presentation, but also received great attention from all over the world.
Because Taeyeon was the producer of this game, and Choi Jong-hak, the main character who set a new sales record, was in charge of the role of planning team leader and director!
The name value of the two star developers was enough to expect. We conducted internal tests for a longer period of time and proved the game quality and quality.
Even now, if you search the Internet, you will find countless internal play videos and review analysis content.
The Venus Project has already released a lot of publicity material from before, and the genre itself was very obvious. Especially in Japan and China, it has been a genre that has been popular for a long time.
It definitely received a lot of attention and was evaluated as an expected work, but that was all.
Pandaemonium was different.
First of all, the developer is very flashy.
Tae-yeon Yoo and Jong-hak Choi, the main players of Nexple.
Seolah Han, a beautiful AD from Nintendo, and Minami Shiina, an original artist.
The existence of these four alone shines very brightly.
But the game shines even more than that.
Colorful and cute fairy tale style art with the personality of Seolah Han and Minami Shiina!
Pandemonium.
The worldview of Manmajeon was appropriately melted to create a world that is pleasing to the eye.
The quality was so outstanding that it was incomparable to the internal test videos that had been floating around before.
“When will this be released?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve played a casual MMORPG… … Do you like it. I absolutely must do this.”
The test site was crowded with many people.
The reputation was also very good, and the goods such as mouse pads, character dolls, notebooks, and file albums prepared as free gifts received great reviews for their quality and rich composition.
It was to the point of being traded for cash at second-hand markets… …
The other games were not as good as the two games, but they received considerable attention and imprinted their presence.
In this show, Seolah Han and Minami Shiina rose to stardom.
appearance. Specs, skills.
These three things were very special, so it was a natural procedure in a way.
In particular, Minami Shiina already had a considerable reputation as an influencer, and when rumors spread that she was active in the Korean game market, she received tremendous attention from her home country, Japan.
‘The more star developers, the better.’
For the industry as well as for the company and its projects!
Taeyeon saw this positively and also planned to actively support it. However, as long as it does not interfere with the development schedule.

When the Korean game industry is buzzing with new and highly anticipated games.
“It came up. Let’s check it out quickly.”
“where… … Oh, it’s really up. Our game is on the App Store… … !”
“amazing.”
Korea University Game Education Center.
A game created by the 4th grade seniors was released on the app.
Snack Empire by Rising Storm Studios!
The students who finally presented their results to the world watched the indicators with half-expectation and half-fear.
