The R&D plan for Tianji Studio has been decided. As a krypton gold mobile game, the R&D cycle is not long, two months.

In this world, the game engine is well developed and perfect, so many gameplays are produced very quickly. However, because the scene and model accuracy in "Era of Dawn" is much higher than that of bracelet games of the same level, it requires careful crafting in art resources.

Overall, the quality of the bracelet games in this world is much worse than that of PC games, let alone the console games.

Weiguang Studio has had the experience of developing a high-quality console game like "Zodiac Guardian". Using the standards of console games to make bracelet games is simply a dimensionality reduction blow. It is conceivable that once the game "Age of Dawn" is released, it will definitely attract widespread attention from players!

As for Weiguang Studio, of course, I won’t be idle either.

The advantage of forming two independent studios is that you can develop two games at the same time, and the progress of making games is greatly accelerated.

However, before starting to officially plan the next game, you must first recruit people.

Although "The Demon in the World" has not made any money, "The Guardian of Zodiac" and several other games have sold well during this period, so of course the studio still has income. Since you have money, the staffing must be fully equipped and you cannot drag it down because of insufficient staff.

This time, Zhong Ming found three more experienced hrs and formed a small human resources department to ask them to be responsible for recruitment matters.

Generally speaking, the role of HR lies in screening and negotiation of related issues, and these tasks are very time-consuming.

hr screens resumes online, or contacts some big guys with good reputation in the industry through headhunters, and then make an appointment to come for an interview. Of course, Zhong Ming still has to ask about the interview. The main person in charge of the interview is the heads of various departments. After the interview is completed, the human resources department is responsible for discussing salary, benefits, signing contracts and other follow-up matters with the newcomers.

Sending all the steps of screening resumes and discussing salary and benefits to the human resources department, can save a lot of time.

In the future, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment will definitely enter a period of rapid development, and the work of the human resources department will definitely not be idle.

In terms of recruitment positions, Tianji Studio mainly fills up personnel, especially art and procedures. The original "The Sea of ​​Learning" project was an educational game project. Even if it was to develop a krypton gold game with low art requirements, many people had a little lack of experience, so Lao Xie only brought a group of the most reliable people, and many positions had vacancies, so it was directly supplemented through recruitment.

Although Weiguang Studio has experience in developing "Zodiac Guardian", the games to be developed next are much higher than "Zodiac Guardian" in terms of size and content, so it still needs to expand its manpower.

Expansion is inevitable. The two studios must continue to expand from a scale of more than 20 people, and finally reach a huge team of hundreds or even thousands of people. The more they work, the more people they need to complete it.

Secondly, it is to immediately establish your own dynamic capture studio.

The venue is easy to handle. Motion capture only needs to be a place similar to an indoor basketball court. As long as you are willing to pay for money, you can find a lot of places. The address of the motion capture studio does not need to be too close to the Wei Guang Studio. Anyway, the work connection between the two sides is not too large, and the round trip is enough within ten minutes.

In terms of price, in addition to site rent, there is also recruitment of staff and purchase of motion capture equipment.

Zhong Ming purchased these equipment at the highest level in the market and is the best-effect optical motion capture equipment, with a full set of about 2 million.

This includes hundreds of cameras, more than a dozen display screens and conventional photography equipment that cover almost the entire venue, as well as the software and intelligent systems that match it. Of course, to arrange a full set of optical motion capture equipment, the entire venue needs to be transformed. Rows of steel frames should be set up in the venue to arrange cameras, and some freely slideable blocks, cushions, walls, etc. are used to capture movements such as climbing obstacles, falling, and climbing on it.

The whole set is expensive, and it will be a cost to ask a motion capture actor in the future.

Generally, manufacturers will not do their own motion capture studios, but will ask some special motion capture companies to complete them, or simply buy some general motion files directly, because building a motion capture studio is not cheap and maintaining is not cheap.

If the use of motion capture is not that large, the motion capture studio is likely to be idle for a long time and is not cost-effective.

But Weiguang Studio must frequently use motion capture technology, and the sooner this studio is built, the better.

...

Zhong Ming was busy with work and successively established Tianji Studio and motion capture studio. The recruitment on both sides also made him a little busy.

The development of "Age of Dawn" quickly got on track. After all, the technical content of this game is not very high, and even if it is insufficient, it can be done first.

But there is no new development plan for Weiguang Studio for the time being, and Zhong Ming has not assigned tasks yet.

Lin Xiaoguang ran over to Zhong Ming again and tried to beat him up.

"Teacher Zhong, what are you going to do in Weiguang Studio's next game? Let me reveal some of the excuses."

In the restaurant, the two ordered a few dishes, but Lin Xiaoguang obviously had no appetite and was still thinking about the new game.

"Mr. Lin, have you told you that "Age of Dawn" will also be on the mgc2 handheld console platform. Why are you asking about the new game?" Zhong Ming calmly ate the dishes.

"Teacher Zhong, you always want to fool me. "Age of Dawn" was made by Tianji Studio. It is essentially a mobile game. Transplanting it to mgc2 handheld machine is a complete mess. Don't want to fool me with this." Lin Xiaoguang was unmoved, "Weak Studio must be holding its ultimate move, right? There must be any masterpieces of the same level as "Zodiac Guardian" that are about to be revealed?"

When the bell laughs, he knows that Lin Xiaoguang is smart and thinks about this.

Of course, Lin Xiaoguang knew about Zhong Ming's establishment of Tianji Studio, and also knew that Tianji Studio's first game was "Age of Dawn". In fact, Zhong Ming did tell Lin Xiaoguang that "Age of Dawn" will release the version of the mgc2 handheld console platform.

It is not technically difficult, and as a krypton gold game, it is no harm in using several more platforms. This time Zhong Ming will definitely not sign an exclusive agreement, because the revenue of "Age of Dawn" must be from bracelet users.

The signing of "Age of Dawn" with Moya Technology not only includes the mgc2 handheld console, but also the game market channels included on the Moya Technology bracelet. It is conceivable that these channels can make a lot of money for Zhong Ming.

But Lin Xiaoguang is obviously not satisfied with this.

Krypton gold games can indeed make money, but their significance to mgc2 handheld consoles is really not that great.

This game can also be played on a bracelet, so why do you have to buy a mgc2 handheld console to play? This is good news for players who have already bought a mgc2 handheld console, but it is not very good news.

Now, Lin Xiaoguang is thinking about high-quality exclusiveness.

Zhong Ming quipped: "Mr. Lin, you don't have to be so anxious. Why do you always pull wool on my sheep? You can consider other studios?"

Lin Xiaoguang said speechlessly: "If other studios can count on you, will I come to you every day? Isn't it just that other studios can't support the scene at all!"

"The "Zodiac Guardian" is exclusive for three months at a limited time. There has been a lot of mgc2 handheld machines sold. There is really no need to be so anxious. There is no obvious competitor in the handheld market at present. Your sales trend is also good, so why bother to be so anxious?" Zhong Ming said calmly.

"It's not that I'm anxious, but the senior management is anxious." Lin Xiaoguang spread his hands, "The mgc2 handheld machine business unit is indeed profitable, and the trend is good, but the key is to compare with whom. Compared with other hardware vendors outside, it is true that the mgc2 handheld machine is selling well at present, but the company's senior management is the bracelet business unit. Teacher Zhong, how can we not be under great pressure?"

Zhong Ming: "…that's true."

Benchmarking the bracelet business department? That really doesn’t have to fight.

How many potential user groups are there for handheld devices? How many user groups are there for bracelets?

Whether it is to compare sales, growth rate or market share, even if Lin Xiaoguang runs out of his legs, it will not be able to surpass Moya Technology's bracelet business unit.

But from the perspective of the senior management of Moya Technology, this idea cannot be said to be absolutely wrong.

Because, both make money and invest money. If the handheld machine business unit makes much less money than the bracelet business unit, why not take the money from the handheld machine business unit and invest it in the bracelet business unit?

The ultimate goal of the company is definitely to make money. The profitability of business A is far inferior to business B. So it is natural to be cut and even cut off the funds directly and take the money to business B.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoguang is under great pressure.

Lin Xiaoguang smiled and said, "So, Teacher Zhong, do you think you are pulling me..."

Zhong Ming sighed: "I can't pull it, I can't help it, I'll wait for death."

Lin Xiaoguang: "???"

"Just kidding." Zhong Ming said seriously, "Mr. Lin, today, will I tell you a few truths?"

Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "Of course, Teacher Zhong, you said."

Zhong Ming said slowly: "Moa Technology is not a place to stay for a long time. At least you want to make a handheld machine, but in Moa Technology, it cannot last long."

Lin Xiaoguang was stunned: "Why?"

"Moa Technology is indeed a world-class hardware developer, the best in the eighth district. Bracelets, computers, headphones, audio, etc. Moa Technology is doing well, with a large scale, a large number of talents, a very complete workflow, and a regular... But." Zhong Ming changed his subject, "It is precisely because Moa Technology's other businesses are too successful, so once there is a problem, the first one to cut is definitely your handheld machine business unit."

"Uh... Actually, Moya Technology also has some other more marginal departments, such as ours also has two game studios..." Lin Xiaoguang tried to refute.

Zhong Ming smiled: "Even if Moya Technology doesn't want these two game studios, there will be other companies to take over. As long as the product quality is good, there is no need to worry about sales. It's just a question of who to sell to. It's about making more money and less money, and there's no big problem."

"But your handheld machine business unit is different. The senior management of Moya Technology obviously has some unrealistic high expectations for you, so you are under such great pressure. Moreover, in the eyes of the vice presidents of other business units, you must be a fatty meat that you can eat."

Lin Xiaoguang didn't say anything, which was equivalent to acquiesce.

Indeed, Zhong Ming said that he was in his heart. Lin Xiaoguang was in charge of the entire handheld machine business department, and the pressure was indeed very high.

Moya Technology has limited resources and must invest in projects with the highest returns. Of course, in order to expand its own field, Moya Technology is also making some attempts in the edge hardware field, and handheld machine is one of the attempts.

But this kind of attempt is not unlimited. Once the returns are lower than expected, the senior executives of Moya Technology will definitely cut them off without hesitation.

For example, these large companies are all octopus, and they compare who have thicker legs and who have more legs.

Under this premise, many companies will work hard to grow more legs and then provide some nutrients appropriately. Maybe that leg will suddenly grow thicker?

But if you find that the leg seems a bit disabled and cannot grow, you have to cut it off decisively and give the nutrients to those legs that are already thick but still have a gratifying rise.

Now the mgc2 handheld machine business unit is in such a state. Although the situation is OK, it is obviously still a big gap from the requirements of the senior management.

Not only the senior management, but also the vice presidents of other business units are definitely thinking about how to run the handheld machine business unit and gain more resources for themselves.

To put it bluntly, the senior executives of Moya Technology are not really determined to build handheld machines. They just do it because their company has this technical reserve and thinks that handheld machines can make money. Once the senior executives find that the income of handheld machines is not as good as expected, it will be very difficult for Lin Xiaoguang.

Previously, although the exclusive possession of "The Guardian of Zodiac" avoided the sudden death of mgc2 handheld machine, Moya Technology did not make much money, and all the money shared was used to pay the exclusive fee. The subsequent "Devil in the World" was basically equivalent to doing charity.

That's why Lin Xiaoguang kept urging Zhong Ming to the next game.

Lin Xiaoguang was silent for a moment: "But, Teacher Zhong, I have no other better choice. To make hardware, Moya Technology is the most reliable among the companies run by Chinese people."

Zhong Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, come here."

Lin Xiaoguang was stunned: "Come on your side? You don't do hardware either."

Zhong Ming said, "Will I do it when you come?"

Lin Xiaoguang: "...Do you know my salary?"

Zhong Ming smiled: "Then do you know the income of Weiguang Studio? What's wrong with me not being able to poach you?"

Lin Xiaoguang: “…”

Indeed, it doesn’t exist if you can’t dig it, you can definitely dig it.

"Teacher Zhong, this matter cannot be a joke."

Zhong Ming smiled and said, "You look like I'm joking? I'm not only digging you, but also the core R&D personnel of your entire handheld machine business unit, all of which are 30% premium. They set up a new subsidiary under Weiguang Interactive Entertainment with a registered capital of 50 million. They not only make handheld machines, but also hosts, and emulators. All game-related hardware will be yours."
