Chapter 21: Game

John smiled warmly as he observed the staff members seated in orderly rows in the meeting room, but he was still a little uneasy about being observed by so many people.

He was among those seated below in his former life, and he gazed in wonder at the boss since that someone was in charge of his position. Perhaps that's what the people in the conference room now believe.

But he still relished the attention to some extent. "Hello everyone, I'm John Smith, your new boss. I think everyone knows who I am. After all, during this time, my pictures frequently appear in newspapers.

There was none of the laughing John had anticipated in the conference room. "It seems that everyone is still a little uneasy, but you don't have to worry about work," the staff replied after sitting up straight, giving him a serious and focused face, and touching their noses in embarrassment. In reference to the issue, I promise you won't be idle. I'll be creative and Bill will offer you a plan soon.

John stood at the head of the conference table and watched as Bill handed out a stack of information to everyone who was perusing it.

"This game is a 3D sandbox. For my game, I require the recognizable pixel mode more than stunning graphics and amazing effects. It primarily emphasizes gameplay and gives each player unrestricted creative freedom in three dimensions. and demolish various pixel block kinds to produce beautiful structures and artwork, or gather objects to explore the area and finish the game's primary plot.

"You can imagine that cabins, medieval castles, major famous cities, skylands, and underground cities can all be realized in the game, allowing players to experience a god-like feeling through the creations."

"I will inject funds into the company, so money is not a problem," John said, tapping the table to get everyone's attention. You may work in peace, and the game I called "Minecraft" is what you'll do in the future.

The workers who had been unemployed for a while suddenly became enthusiastic. The business no longer has to worry about unemployment and has money and new projects. With excitement, they all clapped.

Bill clinched his hands in excitement as the conference room erupted in thunderous applause. Although he had previously created a casual game in the style of Lego pixel blocks, he had no idea that he would be appointed project manager for the first game produced by the new company.

Although he was inwardly disappointed that Bill had been given a new project, Holden clapped. He was a little envious of Bill's luck, but when he considered the assignments John had given him, he felt rejuvenated. Perhaps the project he was in charge of wouldn't be too horrible.

Since the company's staff remained mostly unchanged, it started to run more actively after receiving fresh ideas. John really required a great CEO because he lacked experience in the day-to-day operations and administrative management of the business. He just needs to be a good creative director and leader.

Such talents are scarce in the United States, to be honest. Nevertheless, John managed to locate a headhunting firm. He required a top-notch CEO with extensive management and sales experience as well as a top-tier CEO in the IT sector.

John was able to get the CEO he required in a matter of days. After three years as a server salesperson, he rose to the position of branch deputy manager. But he was unable to advance after serving as deputy manager for two years. He courageously decided to be hired by a headhunting firm and was appointed the new CEO of Mockingjay Game Company with hope.

"Welcome aboard!" John smiled while holding Ethan's hand.

"I'm grateful. It's a privilege to work for the company.

Although Ethan's strong facial features convey a stern demeanor, his grin is kind and friendly due to his experience in sales.

"Master, I've read the information on the business. "Minecraft" is just a brilliant game concept. I think the players will adore it. Replacing The Sims won't be an issue.

John grinned a little and said, "Everyone's efforts are still needed. So, Mr. Ethan, this office is yours going forward."

That being said, he got up and said Ethan farewell by shaking hands. "You may design it yourself and let them decorate it the way you want if you don't like the way it looks. In addition, a meeting is scheduled to take place in the conference room in 10 minutes.

"Thank you, boss, I will consider it." After watching John leave, Ethan took in the pleasant atmosphere of the new office setting.

Naturally, John's new office is still being renovated, and the conference room is only available for temporary use.

John was using a pencil to write and sketch on a stack of paper while perched on the conference room table. One by one, the company's managers and new CEO Ethan arrived.

"You guys sit down first, I'll be there in a minute." John gave a casual order without looking up.

John set down the pen and collected a stack of paper after completing the final game graphic. Then he noticed that everyone had come when he looked up. "Okay, let's start the meeting now," he said, coughing softly.

"This meeting is being held for two reasons. First up is Ethan, the company's recently appointed CEO. Let's learn more about one another.

"Secondly, what I am holding is the company's second game project, which is developed by Holden," John said after the clapping. A puzzle strategy PC game, "Plants vs. Zombies" is the title of the game. These are my general concepts and game illustrations for stand-alone games; kindly review them first.

Holden is currently the most animated person in the meeting room. Not to add how annoyed he is, he has been sitting there watching Bill take away the company's programmers one by one lately. It's his time at last, and he feels a sense of relief. I quickly seized the boss's money, took the game plan, and didn't give a damn about anyone else. I simply continued turning the pages and examining the draft paper's pictures. My facial expressions grew increasingly intense, and I couldn't resist muttering, "It's great, it's like a genius."

Other folks couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads when they watched this incident. Naturally, they were aware of Holden's current state of entanglement and depression, and Bill also exhaled in relief. After all, he and Holden were the best in the company, wonderful friends, and coworkers. He owns this project, but Holden isn't involved. He is terrified of causing him to misunderstand and is genuinely unsure of how to console him. He might not even be pals after that. It appears now that this youthful arrival The boss is really complicated; he meticulously planned everything out beforehand.

"Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down," Holden remarked eagerly as he stood up after reviewing the proposal, his cheeks flushed.

"Sit down, I think you'll do a good job," John said with a serious nod. Could you also show others the plan? You don't want to hold onto it, do you?

"Ha ha ha ha"

The conference room was filled with laughing. With a rather awkward shrug, Holden reluctantly gave Ethan the plan.

Ethan examined the strangely clad zombies and the different plants and abilities on the scratch paper. The last remnant of disdain in the back of his mind was replaced by admiration as he glanced up at the young boss who was sipping coffee.

After ten minutes, John cleared his throat and set down his already-empty coffee cup. "All right, so two development teams have been formed. These days, Bill, your team has nearly distributed the employees. Simply hire more employees if there aren't enough. While maintaining quality, expedite the procedure.

"Hold on, don't worry. After this hiring process, your team will be well prepared. You'll be left to handle the hiring, Ethan. The office space is limited as the company undergoes renovations. Just squeeze in for the time being. All right. That's all. The paparazzi are getting on my nerves right now. I'm going to spend some time in hiding. I'll give you a call or make a video call if something goes wrong.

"Okay boss." Ethan gave a serious response.

John feels much more at ease in the game firm now that everything is organized. He works until late at night and has been very busy lately. His own hands are needed to finish the two blueprints and make the necessary personnel arrangements for the company. Ultimately, this is his There can be no negligence where your career begins.

The CEO is hired, and his negotiating team includes representatives from the legal and financial departments. He can assign rights with confidence and without fear of deception because the development department is split into two divisions, which distributes the rights as widely as possible. He isn't good at the firm, after all. Professionals should handle the day-to-day operations of the business. He just needs to be a capable owner and helmsman
