Chapter 1664 Knock, Knock, Knock

Mockingjay Games is arguably one of the few companies in the gaming industry that recruits women programmers, led by women engineers to develop game projects.

Especially critical is the ability to do jobs, pay equity, that is, ridicule bird gaming companies do not have sexist differentiation, but focus only on competencies.

To be honest, working for Andy, whether male or female, heterosexual or homosexual, Andy will give Andy the status and money to match each other, no matter what!

It really is no exaggeration to be able to make women programmers at gaming companies happy at work with equal pay as men programmers.

In the gaming industry, women practitioners exhibit absolutely low levels, which is strongly related to the nature of the gaming industry.

If you were the boss, would you involve a female * * * developer in the entire gameplay based on the big premise of pursuing stimulation, sense of accomplishment, etc. based on male sensory experience?

The answer to the question is self-explanatory and female thinking can be an obstacle. Simply put, all game companies prefer to recruit male xing game developers, or so-called “sexism”.

Andy, however, knew the trends of the future, and everyone had a cell phone, which later replaced even the women's leisure piece, the television.

And most female players have no resistance to games that combine cute, cute, warm, fun and other elements. Now that they know this pattern, it is naturally difficult for male R&D developers alone to achieve the psychological expectations of female players about the game, so the participation of female R&D developers is obviously imperative.

“Only women know women”, using the elements and themes that women love to divergently think, deeply analyze the female psyche, and create works that are closely aligned with the needs of women, so that a group of money instruments in the gaming world can be created.

“Honey, I love this little crocodile... ”

In the conference room, Ivana sat next to Andy and said to Andy with a smile on her face.

Andy laughed and continued to look at the results of the Alligator's Little Naughty Love to Bath test on LCD TV. Overall, he was basically satisfied, but whenever he heard the noise in the game, his eyebrows wrinkled.

“Oh, when I proposed the plan, Blair also questioned the development of the game using crocodiles as protagonists, saying that seeing crocodiles in the zoo was horrible, like eating him. He didn't think it was a good idea. ”

Blair, the CEO sitting beside her, wasn't embarrassed when he heard her boss's tone, but shook his head and laughed, “Honestly, if I hadn't seen the images they designed, I'd still question them, and now it seems I'm worried. ”

Hearing the conversation between the boss and the CEO, the team members in charge of this game development are all very happy, especially with Lucy, the development team leader who is trying to show off.

Of course, she is more and more impressed and grateful to her own boss.

Appreciate the insistence and genius of the boss, thank the boss for her trust, you know, when the team of "Alligator Little Naughty Love to Bath" was first established, only six people were assigned, the development requirement is simple but high quality game.

This is a model that emphasizes short time, low cost. This is still a lot of pressure for Lucy, the first independent team. After all, this is a big boss' project. You know, Andy Smith's business case is a commonly accepted moneylender in the industry, and there have been many hot games to support it. Lucy is really excited and worried about being able to take charge of this project.

Good thing Andy didn't set any frame limits on the team, either in terms of schedule or budget.

And Lucy, who bit her teeth and held her breath, didn't disappoint Andy, and the team of six was really working day and night. Work * * * * g bigger due to small team size. The game was designed entirely under Lucy's leadership, based on Andy's plans, with even the artists taking turns, and Lucy sometimes taking charge of some programming. In total, it took about four months for Alligator Little Naughty to Bath to finally be initially developed.

“Well, that's it, Lucy, well done.” Andy opened his mouth with a satisfied smile on his face and praised Lucy, who looked forward to his eyes.

“Thank you, boss.” Lucy was so relieved and excited that she knew that once the game was on the market, her career would be very different, both in company status and in profit sharing.

“Oh, don't thank me yet.” Andy waved with a smile, and in Lucy's questionable expression and that of the team members, he went on to say, "Can we give you another month and get some more quality? ”

When she heard the boss's questions, Lucy and the group couldn't help but look at each other and honestly, they didn't really handle some of the details of the game in a hurry.

Although games today already have beautiful game scenes, colorful game levels, relaxed and wonderful game music, simple and easy to learn how to operate... it should also be very attractive to players.

But the flaws must exist, and they know that, but in order to complete the development as soon as possible, to make money on the market, there are minor flaws, just improve on the second edition, to be honest, that's what they think.

“ Yes, boss, you can also improve the quality of the game. ”

“The difference between 4-and-a-half and 5-star ratings is very large, and there is a hundred times as much distance between small and large successes. The visual flow effect of the image can enrich the player's visual effect. It can be combined with good background music and loud water flow. The visual effect of the image should make each player feel refreshed, rather than repeating a sound on a rigid board! ”

Upon hearing Lucy's answer, Andy nodded with satisfaction, and the people in the room looking around in a serious way said, "Quality, adherence to the quality of the game, is the secret to our continued success.

For Mockingjay today, the importance of the mobile gaming business is no longer just profitable. You should clearly understand that mobile Internet, social networks have become a trend, and the influence of smart mobile device platforms on the new generation has become increasingly important, so that we can better communicate our brands and products to a wider audience.

Laughing at bird production is necessarily a branded concept of boutique, not just shouting, but doing some advertising can be recognized, we have a perfect start, don't squander these capital. ”

Andy's words allowed everyone in the room to nod their faces seriously, while Ivana beside her was a glittering, eye-admiring little pussy.

At the office, Andy said to CEO Blair, "The company is growing too fast, and you need to keep an eye out for the buzzing atmosphere within the company. I also understand that every development team wants the projects they are responsible for to go on the market as soon as possible to help the company make money, but definitely not at the expense of quality reduction, which you should highlight at the next meeting.

Remember, we are just a new company, although we have made a lot of money, there is no way to compare with EA, leading companies like Nintendo, still need to stabilize, catch the quality development, don't be proud to forget! ”

Blair nodded with a sudden, thick face and said, "Okay, boss, I'm going to convey the boss's meaning. ”

Honestly, not only are his people a little floating, but even his CEO is floating a lot. During this time, he has received a lot of media interviews. He is also a big character in the industry. Inevitably, he is a little proud, hey, big... I'm afraid my boss also meant to knock on him for saying these things.

Looking at Blair with a little embarrassment on his face, Andy nodded his head lightly. He believed that Blair was a smart man who could understand his words, not Andy's eyes. He felt that Blair was famous for stealing a lot of wind or something. Seriously, Andy couldn't see that exposure either. The key was that this floating impatience would cause some mistakes and even lead to some failures for the company, which Andy couldn't allow.

“Honey, the development of the gaming company is amazing!” Ivana held Andy's arm, with a very surprising look on her face, and watched the previously empty lot, which had completely turned into a parking lot, and the density and numbness of the car, made Ivana, who had seen the initial state of the game company, feel no emotion.

Andy grabbed Ivana standing behind her and kissed her on the cheek, "Fast development is a good thing, but there have been a lot of problems, and it seems that I need to spend some time here and preside over the work in the recent past. ”

“Oh, a fast-growing company, how can there be no problem? Don't worry, as long as the big direction is good, strengthen the administration, the key is still too simple to succeed, too soon, the company will inevitably be a little upset and proud, this sentiment is also good and bad for the company's development, don't deny it at once.” As executive vice president of a group, Ivana is naturally not gay in terms of management, and she also sees some innuendo in the words and deeds of some of the game company managers she contacts.
