Task Assignment

After handing part of the work over to his assistants, Wang Chuan went to take a shower, completely relaxed.

He was ready to rest.

He slept until after nine the next morning before getting up.

After casually eating some breakfast, the four members of the studio had already arrived.

He quickly opened the door and let Liu Qiang, Zhou Wei, Zhao Jing, and Huang Shanshan in.

"Why did you all come so early???"

"Manager Wang, are you still not awake? It's almost ten!!"

Liu Qiang said in a low voice, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Ah? Cough, cough, cough. Sorry, I went to bed late last night."

After checking the time, Wang Chuan realized it really was his fault and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Alright, since you're here, gather in the meeting room. Let's assign everyone their tasks."

Hearing Wang Chuan's words, the others put away their smiles and went to sit in the meeting room.

They had passed up the major companies to come to Wang Chuan's small business.

Wasn't it because Wang Chuan's achievements had made them feel that following him would let them accomplish something great?

Well, provided that their compensation was good too.

So, the moment they heard Wang Chuan was assigning tasks, they immediately took it seriously.

After all, the future development of Huangtu Game Company was tied to their own futures.

For most professions, the golden years were between the ages of twenty and forty.

If they failed to accomplish anything during that period, they would basically just be waiting out their retirement.

"Liu Qiang, Zhou Wei, your task is to maintain The Stanley Parable. At the same time, you need to develop an official website for Huangtu Game Company."

"Oh, and you also need to build a gaming platform. You're allowed to hire an Outsourcing Team, and the company will reimburse the expense, but you have to be quick."

Wang Chuan looked at Liu Qiang and Zhou Wei first and gave them detailed instructions.

There was no way the two of them could build a qualified gaming platform in such a short time.

So the cost of outsourcing was something they could not save.

"Manager Wang, don't worry. We can handle it!!!"

Watching the two make their solemn assurances, Wang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Zhao Jing, since the company has only just started, you'll be taking on more roles and have more work in the early stages. I'll have to trouble you."

"But don't worry. I'll recruit the next batch of people as soon as possible to help share your burden."

Looking at Zhao Jing's calm face, Wang Chuan did not immediately state her tasks. Instead, he reassured her first.

After all, she was still a young woman, yet she had to shoulder so much. It was not easy.

Well, mainly because he was afraid of working her so hard that she quit. Where else would he find such a capable subordinate??

"Don't worry, Manager Wang. I can definitely keep going. After all, the compensation you offer is so good~~~"

Zhao Jing saw things clearly. Since her compensation was several times better than the others', her workload would naturally be several times greater as well.

"Good, good. Aside from your regular duties, pay closer attention to all kinds of news in the gaming industry, including the various media outlets and distribution channels."

Wang Chuan was extremely satisfied with Zhao Jing's response, and only then did he state her assignment.

"Huang Shanshan, you'll mainly be responsible for outsourcing the art and music. You'll also need to complete the Mobile version port of The Stanley Parable."

"No problem~~~"

Everyone readily accepted each task Wang Chuan assigned.

What they had not expected was that most of their assigned tasks involved supervising the Outsourcing Team.

There was not much work they actually had to do themselves.

"Everyone needs to finish your tasks quickly. We could do everything ourselves, but it would be too slow."

"I don't know whether you've noticed, but The Stanley Parable's popularity online has already begun to decline. So we need to release a new game as soon as possible."

Since they had all signed contracts, Wang Chuan gave them a rare explanation.

He also wanted them to grow, so that he could have a much easier time later.

And his words were not baseless.

When he browsed gaming forums yesterday, he had already noticed that The Stanley Parable's popularity was declining.

But that was normal. After all, no game could stay popular forever.

Even a fire, no matter how fiercely it burned, had to go out after it consumed all the dry wood.

Besides, Three Factories' own channels, along with various developers, had begun promoting their Meta Games.

To a certain extent, they had taken away part of The Stanley Parable's market share.

The meeting ended quickly. Wang Chuan was not the sort of leader who only talked, so he only covered the essentials.

After handing the proposal to Liu Qiang and Zhou Wei, the two went off to work.

Their task was not difficult. They simply needed to build a database.

One that could store the accounts of Huangtu Game players.

As for a public-facing platform, that could be built later. For now, an internal data platform was enough.

Zhao Jing also returned to her seat, turned on her computer, and began gathering all kinds of information online.

Meanwhile, Wang Chuan brought Huang Shanshan over to explain the requirements for the Art Assets on the computer.

Strictly speaking, Soul Knight did not have particularly demanding requirements for its Art Assets.

After all, they were all fairly ordinary assets.

They did not have any especially distinctive traits that players would remember.

Of course, that was not particularly important for Soul Knight either.

After all, for a roguelike game such as Soul Knight, the focus lay in the game mechanics and gameplay.

"Manager Wang, why do these requirements look like they're for a mobile game???"

Huang Shanshan had studied art, so she could not help feeling confused as she looked at the requirements before her.

Could it be that the company was planning to move into mobile games this time?

"It's not what you think. This time, we're making a game for both mobile and PC, with shared data."

Seeing her expression, Wang Chuan explained with a helpless laugh.

In his previous life, what Wang Chuan hated most about Soul Knight was its save function.

Due to third-party factors, after Wang Chuan spent money in the game, his account somehow disappeared.

The items he had paid for were gone as well.

That was because Soul Knight used local saves.

It was only after Cloud save functionality was added in a later update that things improved.

Having learned from that lesson, Wang Chuan had considered this issue from the very beginning of development.

Using the all-powerful Pangu Editor, he found a server rental company.

After getting in touch with them, he settled the matter.

Yes, legitimate, reliable, and especially convenient.

"As for the Art Assets, just communicate with the Outsourcing Team according to the requirements in this spreadsheet. Like I said, it needs to be fast!!!"

Wang Chuan handed over the spreadsheet and gave her a serious, careful reminder.

"Alright, Manager Wang. Just leave it to me!!"

After hearing Wang Chuan's requirements, Huang Shanshan said confidently, patting her chest.
