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

"Hello, my name is Xi Hao, and I am the head of the administrative department here. I will also help designers with development planning, budgeting, progress reminders, etc. In short, I can be regarded as your "steward" at work, and you can find me if you have anything."

"I'll take you to the station first and get a little familiar with the entire incubation base."

Wu Zhicheng quickly stood up and shook hands with Xi Hao: "Okay, I'll be lucky, I'll be lucky, please take care of me in the future."

Xi Hao smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't be too reserved, you will be your own family from now on. I and other employees of the administrative department have joined the company for a short time, and they are all newcomers."

"Besides, the administrative department of the incubation base is not a manager, but a service provider. You are responsible for creativity, we are responsible for service, and your work is much more important than us."

The two of them were chatting while walking towards the office area.

In order to enable the entire incubation base to operate normally, Qiu Hong has another very important thing in addition to finding an office space during this period, which is recruitment.

If you send your resume directly to social recruitment, the efficiency will be too low, so Qiu Hong used some relationships in the imperial capital game circle and screened a group of people through internal recommendation.

Xi Hao has more than four years of experience in game development and has served as the executive strategy of a small company. His abilities in all aspects are not top-notch, but it is definitely more than enough to meet ordinary projects.

Moreover, although Xi Hao lacks spirituality in game design, he has a very outstanding advantage of being serious, careful and very responsible for his work.

Therefore, after considering it, Qiu Hong thought 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 an administration, but more like a hodgepodge.

There are special financial, legal and art requirements groups here, and there are also dedicated personnel responsible for development progress planning and supervision.

In short, all the supporting departments that Qiu Hong thought were missing from independent game producers were all equipped.

Although there are not many administrative departments in the entire incubation base, only more than a dozen people, although the sparrow is small and has a full body, and is dedicated to the work, they are all professionals with certain experience in related fields.

Xi Hao took Wu Zhicheng to a window-to-window station in the office area: "This will be your station from now on. The work sign is still being produced and it should arrive soon."

"This is a work card. From now on, I will go to work and swipe the card directly on the first floor, so I don't need to register anymore."

"Our administrative department is located by the window there. If you encounter any problems at work in the future, you can contact us at any time."

"In the morning, you should import all the data and resources on your computer to the office computer here, and then follow this piece of paper to activate the internal communication account and project management permissions."

"In the afternoon, we held a small meeting to briefly talk about the game you are working on, so that we can estimate the construction period, formulate development plans, and find the right painter."

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

It is similar to officially joining a company, except that the work content and work flow are different.

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

This batch of office computers is still provided by ROF installations, and the entire batch is delivered directly from Jingzhou to the imperial capital. However, the ROF custom chassis is not used, and there is no ROF logo on the chassis.

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

After turning on the computer, Wu Zhicheng copied the relevant data of "Ink and Wash" to this office computer, logged into the official development backend, and then activated the internal communication account and project management permissions as Xi Hao told him.

Wu Zhicheng had never worked in a game company before, and did not know that these were the standard processes of a game company, so he thought it was very new.

"Hey, this computer is very high."

Wu Zhicheng was a little surprised. The computer he used to use was also good, and he bought it in a big way, but after all, the budget was limited, so he paid more attention to cost-effectiveness.

And this computer is a model of pursuing the ultimate high-end configuration. After taking a look at the configuration, Wu Zhicheng was so envious that he drooled.

It also satisfies him with ergonomic office desks and chairs, as well as a bar that provides unlimited beverages and milk tea, and other related supporting facilities. It also makes him very satisfied. The working environment is simply incomparable.

In this relaxed working atmosphere, Wu Zhicheng began to sort out all the contents of "Ink and Wash Clouds", including the expected number of levels, boss battle design, painting style, etc., so as not to make jokes in front of everyone during the afternoon meeting.

...

All the food for lunch was provided by nearby fish takeaway.

The current fish takeaway has left Handong Province and opened some stores in first-tier cities such as the Imperial Capital and the Magic City.

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

Wu Zhicheng was full and drank, drinking milk tea while burping, thinking about what kind of working environment this is!

Before, he was a little hesitant whether to come here to work. On the one hand, he felt that it was very troublesome to stop the subway four times a day, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would not be free.

But now seeing this working environment, Wu Zhicheng only has one idea: Is this paradise?

In the afternoon, Xi Hao and Wu Zhicheng held a meeting with three other administrative staff.

Xi Hao briefly introduced the positions of these three people: one is responsible for resource statistics, progress planning and development node reminders, one is responsible for proposing and communicating art resource requirements, and the other is responsible for financial reimbursement, data collection and printing and other various other tasks.

This is a group-based supporting framework prepared by Qiu Hong for the incubation base after careful consideration.

There are three groups like this in the entire incubation base, each group can be responsible for 4 to 6 independent game projects.

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

The three people in the group have a clear division of labor, and they basically take responsibility for the contents of independent games except for gameplay design and specific production.

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

Wu Zhicheng was a little nervous.

Because since he started playing independent games, he has been staying at home and has communicated with others very little, especially this kind of work communication has almost no communication.

Now facing four people who are carefully recording with paper and pen in their hands, they still feel a little bit of stage fright.

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

""Ink Clouds and Smoke" is a horizontal action game. I currently plan a total of 10 levels, each level has a unique boss and monster..."

Wu Zhicheng still roughly explained the contents he introduced to Qiu Hong before.

The four people opposite nodded while recording silently.

Although they have mastered some basic information about "Ink and Wash Clouds", they still hear the designer telling it clearly.

Xi Hao did not interrupt Wu Zhicheng, but waited for him to finish everything in one breath before raising his own questions.

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

Wu Zhicheng was stunned for a moment: "Uh... I haven't considered this issue yet."

Xi Hao nodded and explained: "Although you said there will be ten levels in the game, this is a relatively general concept. What you open in 10 minutes is also considered a level, and what you open in 2 hours is also considered a level."

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

"Generally speaking, indie horizontal pass games like this, the better one-week game duration is 8 to 12 hours, and it should not be too long or too short."

"My suggestion is that the standard game flow can be set to about 10 hours. The level generally follows the principle of going from easy to difficult, so the level time should be a little longer as you go."
