Chapter 187 Remake (2)
Project Glory of the Past.
Virtual reality technology that declared the ruin and end of the game industry around the world. League of Legends was the first protagonist of the design & development team’s ambitious project to recreate existing popular games so that they can live and breathe in virtual reality using this.
A co-op game of the AOS genre that has been loved worldwide and made a mark in the game world.
league of legends.
Hundreds of heroes and stories intertwined with them stimulated the emotions and curiosity of users.
The infinite number of cases created by the combination of heroes and the intense battlefield where even a single mistake can completely change the game play stimulated the fighting spirit and cooperation of users.
A league of legends that have been loved by people for a long time, unlike simple game rules where various strategies and combinations come and go. Now, its popularity has faded incomparably to the past, but it was a fact that no one can deny that it was a god-game so many people miss the nostalgia of that time.
“Oh no….. is this real?”
Manager Yang Min-hyeok, who is in charge of overseeing the rebirth of such a legendary league in virtual reality. Hearing the reports from his subordinates, his face hardened.
“yes. This is a survey from the QA team and those who were active as pro gamers in the past. All negative reviews are stronger.”
cooong.
An clerk putting a wad of papers that looked like hundreds of pages on his desk. His face was pale in a more serious situation than he expected.
“I checked the problems and improvement suggestions delivered by the QA team. It’s not too different from what we discussed back then. The graphics are impeccably realistic and perfect, but when you actually play the game, it is said that it is hard, disparate, contrived, and not fun. Pro gamers who have played League of Legends a lot have the same reaction.”
Deadline now less than 3 weeks away. However, because the preliminary reaction to the already completed game was so disastrously negative, Manager Yang Min-hyeok’s face was indescribably miserable.
“Isn’t there still a difference in taste? For those who miss computer games back then, the current method might be better…”
Manager Yang Min-hyeok tried to rationalize that the game he made was God-Game. But while he was talking, he couldn’t finish his words, as if he didn’t understand himself, and kept his mouth shut.
“…then how would you like to improve?”
It was a painful moment, but Manager Yang Min-hyeok had to admit it. The fact that this game, which he and the entire team worked overtime for months to create, is a shit game that no one will enjoy. And the fact that in order for this project to succeed, it must never be released to the public as it is. At his words, the employee started talking seriously with a slightly relaxed face.
“First of all, the QA team advised that if possible, the combat system itself should be based on Arcadia. Of course, it feels like the genre of the game is completely reversed… but at least in the virtual reality system, we decided that all movements and actions could not be successful with a fixed structure. And…”
An employee who constantly pours out improvement plans. Manager Yang Min-hyeok, who had been listening silently, cut off his words that seemed to never end.
“wait for a sec. all good. no i get it But don’t you know? Now, with only 20 days left, the game’s combat system and skill item system… I’m asking you to change all of these things, but how could that be possible? Doesn’t this just mean remaking the game?”
Yang Min-hyeok, general manager, simply thought of improving the graphics. However, looking at it now, he muttered with a face stained with despair that the overall structure of the game and all existing systems had to be completely overturned and rebuilt again.
“It’s all over….. Even if I can’t release the game due to the deadline, I’ll be reprimanded by the president and other executives, and even if I release it like this and get criticized by people, I…” The work he planned and promoted himself
.
Therefore, he knew very well that if something went wrong this time, the first person to be blown off was Yang Min-hyeok himself, so he regretted and regretted when he realized how reckless he had committed.
“What about the house loan…? My kids are going to college now, but what about the tuition? Hahaha….. Am I in a position where I have to open a chicken restaurant now?”
He was obsessed with performance and blinded by the promotion to executives, so he could not tell the difference. It was a great idea and he was so confident to make it work that he couldn’t see the reality. It means that it is not so easy to apply a computer game to a virtual reality system as it is.
“….What should I do?”
The moment when you have to choose whether to improve the game as much as possible for the remaining three weeks and release it, or give up on the release of Game Festa and go into a full-scale revision. In response to the employee’s question, Manager Yang Min-hyeok muttered in a self-deprecating voice.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have told the boss honestly a week ago.”
He rose from his seat, resentful of his past self who boasted in confidence that ‘I can fix it right away’ when he first discovered the problem.
“To the boss… I will report it myself. Even if we can’t reveal it in time for the game festa we were aiming for, we won’t harm you, so don’t worry and focus on improving the game.”
“Manager…..”
Manager Yang Min-hyeok says he will take on everything. He smiled and said to his subordinates who looked at him with pity.
“Don’t look at me with those eyes. this is correct Can’t we just release a game that’s embarrassing to show to consumers just to get out of the rain for a while?”
Manager Yang Min-hyuk, at least, did not lose the pride and conscience of a game developer. For his own comfort, he did not want to reveal an unfinished game full of flaws even though he knew it, so he said, determined to tell the truth to the president even if he had to step down from his position as general manager.
“Don’t worry about me. Even if I get fired, I’ll open a fried chicken restaurant near my office, so it would be nice to come here from time to time and have a dinner or something… Huh?”
Manager Yang Min-hyeok said with a puzzled look as he saw two people suddenly entering his department while talking.
“Why are you here…?”
“Hello boss. It’s been a while, everyone.”
“Ah, hello…”
Jaeyoung greeted with a wide smile as if to be happy. And Jae-gyun follows him and greets him awkwardly. Manager Yang Min-hyeok asked at the sudden appearance of the two.
“Didn’t the internship program finish last week…? What happened all of a sudden…”
Although they asked for help because they needed it, they were originally students who were supposed to focus on their studies while taking lectures at university. That’s why after the game was completed, they went back to school and went back to this company… no, they never stopped by this department. However, Jaeyoung said with a meaningful smile toward him with questionable eyes.
“The internship program is over. But that doesn’t mean the game is completely finished, right?”
Jaeyoung’s words as if he knew everything about the current situation. Manager Yang Min-hyeok’s eyes widened at his words.
“The problems we discovered at that time have not been fixed yet, have they? No, to be precise… I don’t know where to start, so I can’t do anything right now, right?”
“How did you do that…?”
“Somehow it seemed so. I couldn’t tell you because the boss called me at that time, but if you want to touch the fundamental game system, you have to completely fix the entire game system in a chain.”
Jaeyoung accurately identified the game’s problems. At his words, as if he had foreseen the current situation of the design & development team from the beginning, Manager Yang Min-hyeok was speechless with his mouth open.
“I will tell you straight forward. I have a plan to drastically improve this League of Legends. Of course, it’s not certain, so I’ll have to keep experimenting and adjusting and changing it… but if I’m right, it will be much more fun than now.”
“what….?”
“Really…?”
Jae-young continues to say that he has a solution. At his words, the whole office started to stir. And Jaeyoung said with a confident face without hesitation.
“yes.”
“How?”
These are talented people who have rolled and rolled in the game industry. In the first place, all of them had exceptional talents and were recognized for their work ability, so they were able to join the company, but it was difficult to accept his words that they could solve the problems they were struggling with.
“I’ll talk about that after hearing the answer to my proposal. Considering the amount of time left until the Game Festa, I think you’ll have to decide now. Will you hand over all authority to me and completely remake the game, leaving
only the skeleton …”
“…..”
A remark too arrogant for a college student to utter. No, in the first place, it would not have been possible for someone who was not an employee of the company to ask for full rights to the project, but those who heard Jae-young’s words were more serious than ever.
‘Is it really going to happen…?’
‘It’s a completely new reorganization…’
‘If it’s that monstrous directing… maybe it’s possible…’
Jae-Young, who showed such perfect and monstrous directing that he was dismissed as a young student. To put it bluntly, he knew more about the game called League of Legends than anyone else here, including manager Yang Min-hyeok, so they peeked at his words as much as an ant’s eye for possibilities and hopes.
“I’m sorry, but that seems difficult.”
“Deputy manager?”
“No, why…?”
Manager Yang Min-hyeok shook his head, saying it was difficult with a dark face. When he refused, the other employees were surprised and even stopped him, but he raised his hand as if he couldn’t help it and said.
“No matter how you look at it, this is beyond my authority. Reports have already gone up that the internship program is over, and in fact, I don’t know how you got in and out of here… It’s impossible to give you that kind of authority unless the boss approves…” ”
Really? Wait a minute…..”
At Yang Min-hyeok’s words, Jae-young takes out her smartphone and makes a call somewhere as if it’s no big deal. And at the words he shared with someone, everyone froze as if time had stopped.
“Yes boss. I have a request. yes yes no It’s not that difficult. You know the project I was working on here, the glory of the past. yes that’s right. I want to improve that a little more, but could Jaekyun and I participate in the project a bit more? Oh, it doesn’t matter?”
“…..”
Like a younger brother asking for a favor from a close older sister, he confidently declared that he would intervene in the project himself, and when Manager Yang Min-hyeok made a face wide open as if in shock, Jae-young smiled.
“Oh no. You don’t need to talk separately. It’s because I’ve already talked with Manager Yang Min-hyuk. So, did you allow it? yes yes. Good job, boss~”
widely.
Jaeyoung hung up the phone and looked at everyone who all froze with astonished faces.
“The boss says I can do whatever I want?”
