Not long after Wu Zhicheng got the milk tea, a young man with ****** and slightly curly hair found him.

"Hello, my name is Xi Hao, I am the head of the administrative department here, and I will also help the designers with development planning, budgeting, progress reminders, etc. In short, you can think of me as your 'housekeeper' at work, and you can come to me for anything. ”

"I'll take you to the workstation first, and get a little familiar with the situation of the entire incubation base."

Wu Zhicheng hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Xi Hao: "Okay, I'm glad to meet you, please take care of me in the future." ”

Xi Hao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too restrained, you will be your own family in the future." I and other administrative staff have not been on the job for a long time, and they are all newcomers. ”

"Besides, the administrative department of the incubation base is not a manager, but a service provider. You're in charge of the idea, we're in charge of the service, and your work is much more important than ours. ”

The two of them chatted as they walked towards the office area.

In order to allow the entire incubation base to operate normally, Qiu Hong has another very important thing to do during this time, in addition to looking for office space, is recruitment.

If you directly send your resume to the social recruitment, the efficiency will be too low, so Qiu Hong used a little bit of his relationship in the imperial capital game circle to screen a group of people through internal referral.

Xi Hao has more than four years of experience in game development, and has served as the executive director of a small company, and his ability in all aspects is not top-notch, but it is definitely more than enough to meet the average project.

Moreover, although Xi Hao lacks spirituality in game design, he has a very prominent advantage that he is conscientious, careful, and very responsible for his work.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Qiu Hong felt that Xi Hao was a good candidate, so he decided to let him be responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the entire incubation base.

The administrative department of the incubation base is not just administrative, but more like a hodgepodge.

There are dedicated financial, legal, and art needs teams, as well as dedicated personnel responsible for planning and supervising the development schedule.

In short, Qiu Hong thought that the supporting departments that independent game producers lacked were all matched.

Although there are not many people in the administrative department of the entire incubation base, only more than ten people, although the sparrow is small and complete, it is a full-time person, and they are all professionals with certain experience in related fields.

Xi Hao took Wu Zhicheng to a window workstation in the office area: "This will be your workstation from now on, the badge is still in production, and it should arrive soon." ”

"This is a work card, so you can enter it by swiping the card directly on the first floor when you go to work later, so you don't need to register again."

"Our administration department is in a window position over there, so you can come to us at any time if you encounter any problems at work in the future."

"In the morning, you will first import all the data and resources on your computer into the office computer here, and by the way, follow this paper to open the internal communication account and project management authority."

"In the afternoon, we have a small meeting and talk briefly about the game you're working on, so we can estimate the construction period, make a development plan, and find the right artist."

Xi Hao quickly introduced all the precautions in the incubation space.

It's similar to joining a company, but the work content and workflow are different.

After Xi Hao left, Wu Zhicheng opened the office computer in front of him.

This batch of office computers is still provided by ROF Installation, and it is directly delivered to the imperial capital from Jingzhou in batches, but it is not a customized chassis of ROF, and there is no ROF logo on the chassis.

And Wu Zhicheng has never used the ROF installation, so he didn't think too much, but he just thought that this was a high-end assembly machine purchased by the incubation base itself.

After booting up, Wu Zhicheng copied the relevant data of "Ink and Smoke" to this office computer, logged in to the official development background, and then opened an internal communication account and project management authority according to Xi Hao's instructions.

Wu Zhicheng had no previous experience working in a game company, and he didn't know that these were the standard processes of game companies, so he thought it was very new.

"Hey, this computer is so high."

Wu Zhicheng was a little surprised, the computer configuration he used before was also good, he bought it by smashing the pot and selling iron, but after all, the budget is limited, and he pays more attention to cost performance.

And this computer is completely a model of the pursuit of the ultimate high configuration, after taking a look at the configuration, Wu Zhicheng is simply drooling with envy.

He is also very satisfied with the ergonomic desk and chairs, as well as the bar with unlimited drinks and milk tea, and the working environment is simply incomparable.

In this relaxed working atmosphere, Wu Zhicheng began to sort out various contents about "Ink and Smoke", including the expected number of levels, boss battle design, painting style, etc., so as not to make jokes in front of everyone when he had a meeting in the afternoon.

……

The noon meals are all provided by the nearby fish takeaway.

At present, the fish takeaway has gone out of Handong Province and opened some stores in first-tier cities such as the imperial capital and the magic capital.

A very important reason why Qiu Hong chose the incubation base here is that there is a fish takeaway store nearby, which can easily solve the problem of eating.

Wu Zhicheng ate and drank to his heart's content, drinking milk tea while burping, thinking to himself what kind of fairy working environment this is!

Before, he was a little hesitant to come here to work, on the one hand, because he felt that it was troublesome to make four subway stops a day, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would not be free.

But now seeing this working environment, Uzhi has only one thought: Is this heaven?

In the afternoon, Xi Hao, Wu Zhicheng and three other employees of the administrative department held a meeting together.

Xi Hao briefly introduced the duties of these three people: one is responsible for resource statistics, progress planning and development node reminders, one is responsible for the proposal and communication of art resource needs, and the other is responsible for financial reimbursement, data collection and printing and other work.

This is the supporting framework of the group system prepared by Qiu Hong for the incubation base after careful consideration.

There are three such groups in the entire incubation base, and each team can be responsible for 4~6 independent game projects.

In other words, the entire incubation base can incubate 12~18 independent game projects at the same time under the most efficient situation, ensuring that these game projects receive the most complete support.

The three members of the group have a clear division of labor, and they are basically responsible for all the content of the indie game, except for the gameplay design and specific production.

As the person in charge, Xi Hao must have an understanding of all independent game projects, and also plan and supervise the work tasks of all teams.

Wu Zhicheng was still a little nervous.

Because he has been staying at home since he started playing indie games, he has very little communication with others, especially at work.

Now facing four people who are holding paper and pen in their hands and recording carefully, there is still a little bit of stage fright.

However, Wu Zhicheng quickly adjusted his mentality and began to introduce the basic situation of "Ink and Smoke".

"Ink and Smoke is a side-scrolling action game, and I currently plan a total of 10 levels, each with a unique boss and mob ......"

Wu Zhicheng still gave a general account of the content he introduced to Qiu Hong before.

The four people on the opposite side nodded their heads while silently taking notes.

Although they already have some basic information about "Ink and Smoke", they still have a clear understanding of the designer's own narration.

Xi Hao didn't interrupt Wu Zhicheng, but waited until he finished talking in one breath before asking his own questions.

"Is there a plan for the approximate duration of the game?" Xi Hao asked.

Wu Zhicheng was stunned for a moment: "Uh...... Haven't thought about it yet. ”

Xi Hao nodded and explained, "Although you said that there will be ten levels in the game, this is a relatively general concept. 10 minutes to clear is also a level, and 2 hours to clear can also be regarded as a level. ”

"In order to ensure the content of the game and fully take care of the player's game experience, we still plan the game time first, and then adjust the specific plan of the level through the game time."

"Generally speaking, a good one-week game like this is 8~12 hours, which should not be too long or too short."

"My suggestion is that the standard game flow can be set to about 10 hours, and the levels should generally follow the principle of easy to difficult, so the later the level should be a little longer."
