The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent - The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent chapter 123

79. Start of Challenge League (1)

The following articles were posted on the office worker community and the reed tree forest.

[Apocalypse Police I tried it, and it was really good. I think I know why the CEO chose this game and decided to invest more than 10 billion won. One thing I really like about the game… … DDDD]

┗Yoo Tae-yeon followers are here again.

┗ I tried it too, and it was really well made. I think it will get a lot of attention even if I upload it like this, but if I invest more, I think a real thing will come out.

┗Nepple kids, why are they doing this these days? … .

┗Is the era of dictatorship beginning in the game industry… … ?

┗ These days, when I talk about Yoo Tae-yeon, I don’t even want to see young people come out here and there with bubbles.

┗ Indie games are there… … Ha, really.

The posts in which industry developers were bickering were captured by someone and spread to the Internet community.

Gamers started paying attention.

[I hate to see young kids installing games, but isn’t it true that they are good at making games? Isn’t that enough to say that there is something?]

┗ You guys are here again. Why are all the patterns the same these days? He said that he hates installing Yupa, so he installed it first and went in… … .

┗ㅇㅅ

┗What is ㅇㅅ… … Wow, that’s really embarrassing.

┗ This is similar to the pattern.

┗ㅅㅅ

Soon after, a special interview with a major media outlet was released.

[Representative of Apocalypse People Jeong Jeong-hwan! Intensive exploration!]

The story that many gamers or officials have been curious about has been revealed.

Q [I heard that you thought about suicide because it was so difficult.]

A [As anyone who has started a startup knows, when funds start to dry up, so does my blood.]

Q [I heard that you received an investment from Chairman Jin-Sung Yoo… … ?]

A [He invested in me and gave me various advice. He even rented the office I am currently using at a very affordable price. However, the underlying difficulties have not been resolved. Then I met CEO Yoo Tae-yeon.]

Q [Actually, that part is what I am most curious about. Please tell me in detail.]

A [I got a sudden phone call one day. Anyone who likes games knows that? His signature line. hello. I am Taeyeon Yoo, a game developer. Wow, this one word makes me shudder… … .]

Q [I just got chicken skin too. The level of vocal mimicry is no joke! same!]

A [Right now, that’s not important. Anyway, he visited our company, received a presentation, and played the game himself, and then asked him to come into the company. You say let’s make it right… … .]

In this process, the existence of Jinsung’s rap was greatly highlighted.

[Jinseong Yoo’s rap. Personal investment and consulting organization organized by Korea’s best game denial to advance the game industry!]

It was also revealed that there are already more than 10 armies of companies supported by this Eugene-sung rap, and that Apocalypse People was one of them.

And at the end of the feature article.

Q [Is there anything else you want to say… … ?]

A [Starting from the release date of the interview, the original demo version will be released on the Nexple website. I’d like to play it once and ask for a lot of feedback. Games are made by developers and users together!]

The fact that the demo version was released for free was revealed.

As announced, there was a pop-up window for the Apocalypse People event on the main page of the Nexple homepage. If you click it, you will go to the dedicated homepage, which is cute and cute… … It was a space that felt like an indie game.

[Download Apocalypse Polyps]

There was a small download counting column next to it, but it was already over thousands of times.

News spread throughout the industry and various communities.

[Free version of Apocalypse Police released. Hurry up and download it.]

┗ Even if it’s tricky, let’s play it first and then play it.

┗Demo version… … It’s quite a bit… … . Are you really thinking of overthrowing it?

Taeyeon was monitoring the reaction of the demo version of Apocalypse Police, which was released for free just yesterday.

I opened my mouth while looking at the PC screen.

“It’s so amazing. Game streamers are already reviewing it… … .”

“Yeah, I will. I didn’t expect this reaction either… … .”

Jeong Jeong-hwan, who was sitting on the sofa in the CEO’s office, said with embarrassment.

“As expected, the brand power of CEO and Nexple seems to be great. I can’t believe that even a trivial game is getting so much attention… … .”

“Of course, it won’t be without the company’s influence… … .”

Taeyeon thought while watching a review video by a famous game streamer in Korea.

‘It may have started like that, but the reviews are very good. There are many opinions that they are willing to buy it even if it comes out as it is.’

[Wow, this is really well made. CEO Yoo Tae-yeon seems to have a great eye for games. No, I heard that Apocalypse People is a small indie game company with no real name. How did you decide to discover such a game and invest heavily?]

The passionate streamer was an influencer with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. He handles a variety of games, but he has a reputation for handling and introducing new indie games.

[Wow, this game really has everything! Healing, Mystery, Suspense, Action, Visual Novel… … . Is this the original web novel? Are web novels this much fun? I’ll have a look.]

There may be some over-action, but I liked the game like it was genuine. If it wasn’t that, wouldn’t there be no reason to play so enthusiastically and praise it?

On a broadcast under his name… … .

“… … .”

Taeyeon said while thinking.

“How would you feel if this was completed as an indie version, released first, and then additionally released as an AA-level console version? The original and the remake version.”

“ah… … .”

stupid face.

he hesitates.

“To tell you the truth… … .”

“Tell me.”

“It’s such a pity to throw away the original version that I worked hard on, forgetting about it day and night. It’s like my own child… … .”

I hurriedly raise my head and ask for my consent.

“CEO, do you know this feeling?”

“Sure. I am also someone who started developing indie games when I was in school. I know that feeling very well.”

“Apocalypse Police is really my child. A precious thing that cannot be handed over to anyone even for a thousand gold… … .”

He lets out a deep sigh.

“No matter how good the opportunity came,… … It hurts so much to throw it away in an unfinished state… … I’m sorry… … . It was kind of like that.”

Taeyeon asked.

“Is it possible to develop simultaneously by dividing the studio into two?”

“Uh, uh… … If it’s a concurrent development… … .”

“It means having to control two development teams at the same time. Would that be possible?”

“… … .”

Jung Hwan is worried.

I liked the prudence of not immediately biting the rice cake.

Taeyeon revealed additional plans.

“I was just thinking… … Aside from profit, I think it would be good to create a brand that specializes in creative games with low development costs.”

“Oh, you mean the indie game brand?”

“Actually, it is not appropriate to use the word indie at a time when the huge capital of Nepple is involved.”

“Ah, that’s right. so… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to discuss the brand name later and release the original version of Apocalypse Police as the first game? I feel like I want to.”

“ah… … Well, if you support me like that, what is it… … .”

Jeong Jeong-hwan scratches his head in embarrassment.

At that age, he is a person who remains innocence despite his large stature.

“Actually, when I was at a company in the past, I had been in charge of several projects at the same time. But it was a long time ago… … .”

“Then you can do it. I will help, and I will attach good helpers.”

“If you do that… … yes. I’ll try. But are you really going to do that? I’m still not sure if the response is good or not… … .”

Taeyeon smiled while looking at the pc monitor.

“It will be fine.”

* * *

Apocalypse Police started to be discussed a lot in the game community.

[There are a lot of games I have purchased… … I put everything aside and I’m just doing this these days. It would be nice if this came out on a smartphone too… … anyway! I don’t think it’s going to be thrown away like this. It’s a really good game. Full of indie sensibility… … What about the others?]

┗ To be honest, I really cursed at the youngsters, but I can’t help but admit it this time. It’s unbelievably high quality that it was made by a Korean indie company.

┗ Now, foreign countries are also paying attention. When I saw it on Reddit, the reviews were good, but everyone was surprised when I heard that it would not be officially released.

It’s a well-made and well-rounded game!

As the good reviews piled up, the praises for not only Taeyeon but also President Jinsung Yoo increased.

[A game that was discovered and invested through Yu Jin-seong’s rap? I thought it was just the incarnation of the money-crazy Donple… … . It seems that you have a bit of an eye?]

┗ He is the creator of Nexple and he is also a developer. You can’t make a company like this without love for games.

┗For your information, among the early hits of Nexle, there are quite a few that Chairman Yoo filmed and invested in. He is a person with a good eye for games.

As such public opinion increased, the media specializing in games started trying to interview President Jin-Sung Yoo.

“Taeyeon, what about this? Requests for interviews are pouring in… … . Should I take it or not?”

After thinking about it, Taeyeon said.

“How would you like to do this?”

“what?”

“Actually, we are planning to launch a new brand… … .”

Taeyeon told Jeong Jeonghwan exactly what she had said in this office.

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong shows interest.

“What is the brand name?”

“I think the president can build it.”

“I?”

“yes. Because the role of the president will be important in this brand.”

“What am I supposed to do?”

“You’re operating Jinsung’s rap in earnest. We find people full of passion and skills, put seed money in, and do some consulting.”

“so?”

“I watch and pick out good projects and promote them to that brand. And it pushes properly. From production to launch.”

“Ohh… … So in terms of baseball, be a scout, what are you talking about?”

“That’s right. Isn’t that what the president likes?”

President Jin-Sung Yoo still loves games at his age.

That is why we create a rap for Yoo Jin-seong, who will only spend money with affection, discover talented people and invest in them.

To bring salvation to those who do not have a chance.

A seed money of 100 million or 200 million may seem like a small amount of money, but for a small group of indie game developers, it’s a large sum of money that will give them the courage to pursue their dreams and burn everything. It is also an oasis in the desert.

“The Apocalypse People would be a good example. If you’re successful, there’s nothing better. You might get a bigger opportunity if you just join Yu Jin-seong’s rap!”

“hmm… … .”

“Anyway, don’t you have anything to do these days? Chairman, you can see that I have been harassed once in my position. Let me burn out my old age.”

“My child makes a star noise… … Yumma! Do you know that saying that will make my blood boil?”

“yes.”

grinning

“As expected, you know me well. I like that. Let’s try it.”

“What would you like the brand name to be?”

“hmm… … .”

grinning

“Challenge League.”

“A place of challenge… … do you mean?”

“There is such a meaning… … . challenge. Doesn’t it sound good?”

“Not bad. Then you do.”

“good. I’m stuck on what to do with the interview!”

After a while.

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong announced Nexple’s new brand, Challenge League, through an interview.

And the first lineup was the original version of Apocalypse Police, which is highly praised by many.
