The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

1. Producer Yoo Taeyeon (1)

Cute and charming characters roam the well-decorated field and defeat the monsters.

Various skills, gorgeous effects and animations.

CEO Kang Geon, a middle-aged man who controlled the whole scene with an emotionless face, finally spoke.

“It’s fine. It’s a problem because it’s okay. How should I do this?”

The face of Yoo Tae-yeon, a young man sitting across from him, darkened.

“Taeyeon. To be honest, I don’t think I’ll be able to do this well in the Nexple publishing test. If you don’t convince director Lee Tae-young, your investment will be lost.”

Neckple!

The best game company in Korea!

If that place was the sun, the Bless led by Kang Geon was at the level of a torch.

A still shabby company that needs investment to continue operating due to lack of development funds.

Taeyeon was a game developer there.

“I only have two months left. Let’s raise the level of perfection in it more than it is now. Understand?

“yes!”

“okay. thanks for your effort.”

Taeyeon left the office helplessly.

CEO Kang Kun, who was known as a star developer in his youth, founded the game company ‘Bless’ and produced the PC MMORPG ‘Break the Limit’.

Yoo Tae-yeon was the planning team leader for the game.

However, it was the same as a real director, and those who developed it together called him by names such as director, PM, and PD.

Fortunately, the game was a success.

The response was good both domestically and abroad. With that, the two people who received the attention of the industry started a project to firmly establish themselves.

Casual MMORPG Pandemonium.

It was a game that contained the stories of various demons in the background of the demon world.

Kang Gun persuaded Taeyeon to carry out the project, which Taeyeon had been making alone since she was a freshman.

Breaking the Limits did a good job, but it didn’t make a ton of money.

It was a bit of a return on investment.

According to CEO Kang Gun, it was.

For that reason, Taeyeon did not receive any promises.

Other developers did the same.

Kang Gun promised to reward him if he received investment during the development of Pandaemonium, but there was no news about it.

In the end, most of the talented developers who were proven to break through the limits left the company.

Taeyeon also had a similar feeling, but she couldn’t abandon her dream project, Pandaemonium, and leave.

So I took the loss and remained and led the development work until now.

Taeyeon really did her best.

I only slept for about three hours, and I gave up my holidays.

It was a test build made like that.

But today, CEO Kang Geon’s evaluation was not so good, so Taeyeon could only sigh.

‘Let’s get some fresh air.’

As soon as it was lunchtime, Taeyeon left the company building alone.

‘I’m still confused.’

Lunchtime was over, but I didn’t feel like going back to work yet. So Taeyeon continued to wander the streets. Then, unconsciously, I ended up walking on the overpass.

‘huh?’

There was an accessory stand run by an old man.

It was a really special thing.

Is there a stall in a place like this?

‘If you go there, you’ll be kicked out…’ … .’

It was winter and the weather was very cold.

Lunchtime was over, so no one was around.

It was a situation where it was impossible to do business, but the old man remained silent. That image touched Taeyeon’s heart.

‘My late grandmother also sold vegetables at the stalls.’

I felt sad.

Taeyeon moved closer and checked the stall.

‘It would be pretty to wear with a watch.’

What caught my eye was a black leather bracelet.

However, the price was fifty thousand won.

‘Rain, isn’t it expensive!?’

I was hesitant for a moment, but since I came with the intention of helping in the first place, I gladly bought it.

“I’ll come back next time.”

An old man who only smiles quietly.

Taeyeon put the bracelet in her pocket as she left. And I checked my smartphone.

‘Let’s go back soon.’

It was already long past lunchtime.

‘I don’t want to go to work.’

Taeyeon forced her heavy steps forward.

“Part leader. I’m not feeling well. I’ll use half of it in the afternoon.”

It was Choi Soo-kyung, the scenario planner.

She was already fully prepared to return home. He said he was sick, but on the outside he looked very brisk.

“Mr. Sukyung, you wrote half an afternoon class two days ago.”

“I took medicine yesterday and wrote with difficulty. I tried to do something today, but I just can’t. I think I should go home and get some rest.”

By the way, today is Friday.

It is a unique day when sick employees appear one after another.

“What about the afternoon scenario directing meeting?”

“I’ll put it off until next week.”

Maybe you’re so bold?

Taeyeon was about to say something but shut her mouth.

And with patience, he said it with difficulty.

“Let’s go.”

She hurries out of the studio.

Seeing the scene, Taeyeon sighed in sorrow.

‘I have to do it somehow.’

* * *

I had two interviews in the afternoon.

Taeyeon was the sole producer of the company, leading the development of Breakthrough Live and Pandaemonium at the same time. At the same time, since he is in charge of development, the final interview and recruitment of working-level workers were up to Taeyeon.

‘It’s hard and exhausting.’

After finishing the interview schedule, my whole body was exhausted.

The time is already five in the afternoon.

Today’s work was virtually finished.

There was so much to do, but so much work to do that even ten bodies were not enough.

My head ached so much and I was very irritable.

‘Let’s rest for a bit. a little bit… … .’

Taeyeon lay down and closed her eyes.

I wondered if it would get better if I rested like this for a while.

but… … .

“PD-nim, how about the afternoon directing meeting? I don’t think there are any planners… … .”

My eyes widened at the words of Pandaemonium AD.

“I think I have to finish it today and distribute the work so I can start working on Monday.”

It was a story that I had to make a decision somehow today.

Since the person in charge of the field was absent, the answer had already been decided.

“Do it with me.”

Taeyeon stood up like a dead zombie and headed to the conference room.

* * *

Taeyeon was not the type to enjoy drinking. I had never even been to an entertainment establishment nearby.

‘I have to drink today.’

But today, another means was needed.

The stress was about to explode through my head.

Arriving at a pub she found out through an Internet search, Taeyeon recklessly ordered alcohol and snacks and started pouring them into her mouth.

‘How did my life turn out this way?’

When I was a novice planner, I vaguely believed that positive changes would come to my life if I became a part leader.

But it was an illusion.

Nothing has changed.

I became a producer that others were eager to become, but it was a part of my dream that came true, and I was strangely unhappy.

‘I followed CEO Jung for no reason. If I had known this was going to happen, it would have been better to follow Nexple’s suggestion at that time.’

Right before leaving the previous company, Son Young-sang, who oversees Nexple’s development work, came and made this suggestion.

Since you have secured a famous Japanese IP, why not try producing a mobile game with it?

rejected it

It was because of his loyalty to CEO Kang Gun.

At that time, Taeyeon introduced Choi Jong-hak, the head of the system part, who was a development colleague at the time. So he moved to Nexle.

The game that started production like that opened two years ago from now.

And in the first year of launch, it set a record of 600 billion won in sales.

To be honest, a little… … It wasn’t, it hurt my stomach quite a bit.

‘I shouldn’t have turned down the offer… … .’

What if you regret it now?

Everything ultimately comes from your own decision.

The more I think about it, the more I can only sigh. I have no choice but to comfort my heart that was sore from alcohol.

‘It’s noisy.’

I wanted to drink until I was drunk, but I couldn’t. By nine o’clock in the afternoon, the pub was full of patrons and became noisy.

In particular, the conversation with the guests sitting next to me was very annoying.

“Peddy bastard. The dog of development is ruining the project after becoming a producer due to politics.”

“Even if I become a producer now, I am confident that I will do better than that bastard. The CEO said he was a close junior, but he became a producer through personal connections, so he doesn’t know anything.”

For some reason, it seemed like they were swearing at me, so when I checked their faces, they were people I didn’t know.

Things I could have laughed off in normal times didn’t sound nice because I was in a bad mood.

‘Let’s stand up.’

After tidying up the place, I tried to take out my wallet, but something, a foreign object was caught.

‘It’s a bracelet I bought yesterday.’

I didn’t even look at it properly, let alone buy it and wear it. When I looked at it later, I found that all sorts of rare patterns, including pupils, were engraved on the surface of the leather.

As I continued to stare at it, I felt strange.

‘Should I kick it?’

I bought it with expensive money at best, but it’s a waste to keep it tied up without using it.

Taeyeon wore a bracelet on her right wrist.

Flash!

Surprisingly, the light from the pupil pattern flashed and penetrated Taeyeon’s forehead.

“Ahh!”

Udangtang!

Surprised, Taeyeon jumped backwards. The noisy pub became quiet. Everyone was looking at Taeyeon.

“I’m sorry.”

After a quick apology and sitting down, the commotion comes again. Taeyeon felt her heart beat rapidly and looked at her bracelet again.

Like the absolute ring in a certain movie, light was generated on the pattern of the bracelet. In fear, I hurriedly took off the bracelet. The light subsided and returned to a normal bracelet.

‘What is this? Am I drunk?’

After hesitating, I carefully put the bracelet back on. The moment the eyes met the pattern, the light gushed out once again and penetrated Taeyeon’s forehead. Taeyeon flinched again, but this time she didn’t fall back.

Starting with the eyes, all the patterns slowly emit light one by one. Taeyeon was afraid, but held back and watched it.

When all the glyphs finally came to light.

Flash!

A bright light flooded the entire pub.

Taeyeon, who had closed her eyes in surprise, only opened them again when the light subsided.

“… … .”

The pub was still noisy.

No one seemed to be aware of what had just happened.

‘That’s strange, but… … .’

A bigger problem arose.

‘What are those status windows like?’

Whenever Taeyeon looked at someone, a translucent window came to mind. In it, names, occupations, and figures were written.

Taeyeon turned her head and looked at a young man who was talking the loudest in the seat next to her.

A status window popped up.

‘You said you were a game developer, right?’

Planning teams are usually divided into four parts.

‘The stats according to the job are marked!’

like a game… … .

Looking at the face of the person next to me, I remembered his information this time.

The status window that displays the opponent’s ability comes to mind!

Taeyeon, who unconsciously checked the bracelet, was startled.

‘My bracelet is gone!’

Where did you go all of a sudden?

Instead, an eye mark was engraved on the wrist.

No matter how much I scrub, it doesn’t seem to come off.

‘What the hell is going on with me?’

confusion, fear.

Unable to sit down any longer, Taeyeon hurriedly left the pub.

Whenever a person passed by, the status window popped up and then disappeared.

Taeyeon lowered her head and hurriedly moved.
