The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

11. main event(3)

On the second day, more spectators came.

Those who watched the event on the first day via live Internet broadcasting could not resist the urge and flocked to it.

In fact, there were several other games that were as popular as Monster Eater, the venue for the event. From the second day, announcements related to this and the release of new works by other companies were scheduled to continue on the event stage.

In addition, some of the pantheon project prepared by Taeyeon will be revealed.

From early in the morning, the venue was so crowded that it was hard to see where to step.

In another space of the event hall, there was a place for meetings and agreements between companies. There were booths of not only Nepple but also domestic game companies.

CEO Kang Kun was right here.

To attract attention from the outside, a chaotic Ragnarok video is played on a large display, and a space for demonstrations is also provided inside.

Several business officials have already visited, but so far there has been no great income.

he got nervous

It was because I had already seen that other booths had already achieved good results, and above all, I saw countless people coming to the nearby Nexple booth.

Most, if not all, were showing interest in ‘Pantheon’. Among foreign entrepreneurs, there were places that could make users’ eyes widen with just their name.

‘damn. It was my game… … .’

As Taeyeon, who betrayed herself and left, progressed better, her stomach ached and her insides turned upside down. How much my blood boiled when I saw Taeyeon as the main eventer at the presentation hall yesterday.

I tried hard not to pay attention, but I couldn’t. My eyes and ears always turned to Nexple and Taeyeon. When I woke up yesterday, I was in the corner of the audience at the event stage.

‘I have to use this opportunity to win the contract somehow… … .’

While I was spending a lot of time, I saw a group of Asian entrepreneurs passing by and hesitating when they saw CEO Kang Gunn and his booth.

They came up to us while we were talking.

“Are you representative Kang Geon?”

“you’re right. I am strong.”

“Right! I am Jinwoong Park, the head of the publishing team at Netfox, located in Shanghai, China.”

‘Netfox!’

My heart started beating fast.

Netfox was a multi-content company that started out as a video streaming site and SNS and advanced into the game industry.

Currently, it is focusing more on game development and publishing, and its market cap in the game industry is 6th. You might think that’s not a big deal, but it was twice as big as Nepple, Korea’s top company.

‘It’s a big hand!’

They discussed something among themselves again and some went elsewhere.

Park Jin-woong, head of Netfox’s publishing team, approached with a friendly face.

“I’m Korean. When I was young, I enjoyed playing games developed by CEO Kang Gunn. So I could tell at a glance just by looking at the face and company name.”

“okay. But if you are the head of the Netfox publishing team… … You are amazing.”

“I was lucky. I heard at first glance that you are developing a new game. Could you please explain?”

“Come in. You can even try it out.”

Kang Geon actively started his business.

I did my best to attract him. And that effort seemed to have paid off.

“This is interesting. It’s a charming game.”

“I am putting my entire development life into production. We are making a game that will not be ashamed of, no matter where it is presented.”

Park Jin-woong, who was struggling with something, looked at the monitor and his eyes lit up.

Then he looked at CEO Kang Geon with a nervous face and said.

“I’d like to visit your company, is that okay?”

“of course.”

“I will contact you soon and schedule a visit.”

“thank you!”

Park Jin-woong left, and Kang Geon sat down helplessly and let out a sigh of relief.

‘Netfox, I couldn’t even imagine it.’

If domestic is difficult anyway, I was about to break through the route in the direction of reimporting, starting from China and other countries.

However, with a giant company called Netfox approaching first, it seems that business luck is finally coming.

‘Never miss this opportunity.’

Darkness came to the stage.

The chaotic atmosphere in the audience becomes quiet.

Taeyeon, who was watching the scene from behind the stage, swallowed her saliva.

‘I’m more nervous than yesterday.’

After a while, the game video started playing on the giant display with the familiar sound;.

A unique city where past, present, future, various mysteries and fantasy coexist!

At first glance, it reminds me of Manhattan, New York, but there were clear differences in several areas. There were areas reminiscent of the Temple of Olympus and ancient Greece, and there were areas reminiscent of the ancient Orient.

There is a huge tree in the sky, and faint magic circles spread around it, but far beyond it, many stars spread out.

People are busy or leisurely spending their own time, and mechanical fairies keep an eye on the streets and maintain peace.

The screen quickly falls below the city and illuminates another world.

Confused human world!

In a desolate place reminiscent of the Pandemonium, a bloody battle between monsters unfolds, and a gate suddenly appears in the middle of the city, and a huge monster jumps out and causes a rampage.

The camera quickly moves away and simultaneously captures the Earth and a satellite city made of huge trees far above.

Zoom out quickly.

Catch the inside of a large wooden pillar-shaped building in the center of an aerial city.

Mechanical fairies and operators of various races operate the system with an urgent expression. After that, people with various outfits and equipment are standing on top of the magic circle, waiting to be dispatched.

After a while, when an operator urgently shouts something and presses the red button on the control panel, several magic circles start to activate and the warriors are sent somewhere.

earth.

The warriors who arrive at the place where the disaster caused by the monster is unfolding fight against the monster while rescuing people.

Someone sprays lightning, someone pierces the enemy’s heart with a red spear, and someone subdues the monster by emitting light from a holy sword.

The decisive moment!

The music that heightened the dramatic tension to its peak ends with an impact, and a unique torturer is engraved in the center of the screen.

[Pantheon]

The video ends like that.

The lights on the stage turn on.

“It looked like an animation, but you think it would be fun?”

“huh. The floating city above the earth must be a pantheon.”

“It is unique. I don’t think it was made in Korea, is it exported to Japan? That’s cool.”

This is a conversation of general visitors who don’t know much about the Pantheon.

“Wow, that’s crazy. I heard that it hasn’t been a few months since the work started in earnest, but did you implement the in-game video that far?”

“It’s not all in-game. It seemed like there were very little cel animations mixed in. But you did it right. It’s really cool.”

“That worldview is so unique. Is there a long-awaited release from Nexple? It stimulates virtue!”

This is a conversation between developers and genuine game users who are sensitive to rumors in the industry.

The contents were all different, but the emotions they had were mostly the same.

anticipation!

It had a distinctly different feel from the medieval fantasy-style games that came out as existing MMORPGs.

Above all, the fact that it is a high-quality casual game with cartoon rendering and a unique worldview stimulated the curiosity of users.

“Above all, it’s not a CG-stuffed cinema scam, it’s an in-game. It was of high quality even considering that I had just started working on it.”

“that’s right. If you want to release a game, you have to do it that way, believe it and have expectations or not. i like it I’ll watch it for now.”

Users gave favorable reviews to Pantheon’s first promotional video.

Taeyeon carefully monitored the reaction to the video.

‘I don’t think the reaction from the audience is bad. Netizens… … .’

Netizens are also experiencing this presentation through live broadcast. Taeyeon went around game-related community sites and live video streaming sites to check the reactions of netizens.

-That’s Neckple Pantheon, right?

-It’s an in-game video. Visual beauty and world view are my tastes.

– Zeus Lightning, Gaebolg, Mjolnir. Isn’t the last holy sword an Excalibur just by looking at the production? lol

‘are you okay.’

No, this is good enough.

Taeyeon finally let out a sigh of relief, but as soon as she waited, messages poured in.

[Hong Min-seok: I’m glad the reaction wasn’t bad. Thank you for your hard work.]

[Lee Young-ae: Wow! I thought my heart was going to burst the whole time I watched it live! I think the response is good!]

[Baek Young-hoon: PD! ugh ugh… … ㅠ ㅠ Thank you for your hard work! I was impressed! I think our video is the best!]

Besides that, I got calls from all kinds of places.

Employees of both studios, two directors of Nexle.

and.

[Yujinseong: It was a lot of trouble. Are you done with all the big things? After the festival, let’s take a few days off.]

Until the Nepple Chairman!

‘I’ve been able to breathe with this.’

Seeing that they contacted us directly like this, it means that they liked the results and content so far.

‘It’s not over yet. Let’s not be relieved until the end.’

Demonstrations were still going on at the booth. Everyone is working hard without slowing down, but it was something that he could not be alone already.

“You worked hard!”

After saying hello to the stage staff, Taeyeon went straight to the Neckple booth.

* * *

[Neckple topical new work, Pantheon first release!]

[The main character of the game festival is Nepple! Pay attention to Monster Eater Online and Pantheon.]

As soon as the game show ended, all sorts of feature articles poured in. Even articles and on-site videos were extensively handled on the main portal site.

Korea at this game festival. It is said that a total of 350,000 domestic and foreign audiences have been reached, and countless businesses have been made. In this part, Pantheon surprised industry officials and the public once again.

[Pantheon signs a publishing contract with Crying Soft in Japan!]

[Neckple’s long-awaited work! Will I be able to succeed this time?]

Immediately after the Pantheon video was released, inquiries about publishing contracts poured in from overseas companies, and among them, a local distribution contract was signed with Crying Soft, the developer of Monster Eater.

Satoshi Takizawa was the head of development and also the CEO of Crying Soft’s masterpiece, the Monster Eater series.

I had a great trust and liking for Taeyeon because of the localization cooperation work, and after seeing the Pantheon in-game promotional video, I offered a publishing contract without hesitation.

Business manager Lee Tae-young could not hide his excitement.

“Considering the position Crying Soft has in Japan, this is a really great achievement. PD Yoo has done a great job once again!”

It is great to have obtained IP and active cooperation, and even exports were achieved.

This could be said to be the achievement of producer Yoo Tae-yeon and his staff, not the power of Nexle.

“Since the reaction from the beginning has been unusual, expectations have been cut off internally as well. If you need anything, just tell me. I will actively cooperate.”

Taeyeon fully understood Director Taeyoung Lee’s reaction, who seemed to be exceptionally excited.

It is said to be the best game company in Korea, but over the past few years, Nexple has suffered from the failure of all new games developed by itself in the market.

Profits were responsible for M&A and the early works of Nexle, which were released when Sohn Young-sang was in charge of development.

For this reason, Nexple was also hearing the humiliating story of being a publishing company, not a developer. It was natural for the executives to expect that they might be able to get rid of that humiliation this time.

“I want Universe Studio to emerge as a new development center for Nexple. You know my heart, right?”

Director Lee Tae-young’s bright smile made Taeyeon sigh internally and outwardly… … .

“Sure. ha ha ha… … .”

He smiled brightly.

‘It’s just two pieces. Let’s develop it quickly and leave.’
