124. Techpole Land (3)

(Huh? The company atmosphere is strangely uplifting?)

Francis Kloska felt the strangely excited atmosphere of the company after returning from an outside schedule.

It was also because the expressions of all the staff from the lobby were the same.

(Thanks to writer Song Jae-ik.)

(Why is the writer?)

As soon as Song Jae-ik’s name came up, Francis instinctively realized that something had a positive effect on him.

Wasn’t he falling for Song Jae-ik for no reason? Although it was short, the more Song Jae-ik he experienced, the more he peeled it off, the more he showed an onion-like appearance.

(He’s not a normal person. There’s probably no one who hasn’t talked to the author in all parts of game production right now. Ah. Management support is an exception. To be honest, if you ask a question, I think he’ll give you an answer.)

(As expected. Author Song.)

Francis felt a hum and pressed the button on the 6th floor where Jaeik worked.

When the door on the 6th floor opened, many employees, from the cafeteria to the office, gathered in groups of two and three and exchanged opinions among themselves.

It was such a lively look that I didn’t see in the usual office. Usually, when game production starts in earnest, everyone is chased by time and shows a sharp appearance. Even if that’s the point where it hasn’t been long since I started making interventions.

In the end, even if each of them did their own work, it was common for them to start working only after finishing some work in another department.

But when we got together in groups of three or five, everyone smiled, exchanged opinions, and nodded as if they liked it.

At the center was Song Jae-ik.

(Oh. Progress is fast. The original drawing team’s skills are really not average. I think we can just keep moving forward with the concept art for now. Progress is fast.)

(Oh! Author’s passing! Nice!)

(Let’s keep going like this!)

After receiving Jaeik’s confirmation, the Wonhwa team clenched their fists and gave high fives. Passing meant that they were going well and that they were not being pushed behind in terms of their speed or collaboration with other teams.

(Writer! It’s our turn this time! I made the BGM once, can you check it out?)

(What track is it?)

(Track 5. The scene where Dexter Linder awakens from an early fight.)

Jaeik played the soundtrack, closed his eyes, and drew the music while drawing the situation.

Is it the right flow? Will the scene I want be drawn?

(Hmm. I think it would be nice if the back part was slightly longer. A little sad. How about this feeling?)

Jaeik opened the piano app on his tablet and tried to play a musical idea that came to his mind on the spot.

(Ah, with this feeling. I’ll fix it right away! As expected! The writer is the best. How did you do everything so well?)

(Because I have a lot of interest in this and that. Somehow, they all have some talent.)

(Kuhup. Thanks to you, I’ve crossed a big mountain. There are still hundreds of them left.)

There were hundreds of OSTs for the game alone. For an important part among them, there were many cases in which a famous composer was entrusted with the OST.

The rest is ultimately up to the manufacturer.

(Eh. Really, this is the hand of Midas. It slurps off everything that is blocked in every field and part it touches.)

That’s exactly what Jaeik looked like now. Did someone say that games are a kind of composite art?

The number of talents digested so far has already exceeded 40, and most of them were related to content creation.

Besides, talents such as piano, writing, lyric writing, video production, storytelling, directing, and video planning have already been digested 100%, and other talents are about to be fully digested.

And that talent was all bursting out here.

In less than a week, it was enough to say that he had completely captured the staff of Techpole.

That also means people from all different parts.

(Great. As expected, the author. How is all of this possible?)

Francis, who had been quietly watching the scene from the entrance, smiled happily with a more surprised look on his face.

(CEO. Keeping face.)

(Kuhmm. What’s the point of losing face? The way the game does well is what makes us successful.)

No matter how you think about it, gamification of the behind the scenes was the right choice.

—

No matter how fast Jae Ik worked on the story and completed it quickly, the game literally did not happen overnight.

In particular, if a masterpiece like this took a long time, it was a game that took more than 7 years.

And around the time I had been in Poland for about a week. Jaeik stretched out and took his hands off the keyboard.

Looking out the window, it was already late at night. But judging from the fact that the lights are still on in some places in the office.

‘Is this the famous crunch mode? It’s like the beginning of game production?’

It’s me making my own art, but what the hell are these people.

Even after watching for a week, no one said or forced them to work overtime, but they voluntarily stayed and worked like that.

How great is your compassion. Or is it because he is literally a fan of game production?

(I’ll go first. Have a hard time.)

(Please enter carefully! See you tomorrow!)

Anyway, it was because I finally completed a novel that contained the overall flow after working overtime.

It was obvious that someone would scream that it made sense to complete a novel in a week, but that’s what ordinary people say.

Of course, there is still work left to turn this into a script like a drama script, but it’s true that the primary work is over anyway.

“Hmm. I guess I could just turn this into a short story.”

I thought about that while browsing the finished novel before uploading it to the cloud. Of course, it was also for the game, but somehow I ended up completing a novel.

Leaving that to Watpad and Francis’ negotiations. For now, it was time to go back to the hotel and take care of the rest.

Check drama ratings and see if webtoons and animations are well made.

Is there any place you need to look out for?

Even the screenplay with Spielberg had to be revised from time to time. No matter how close this state is to completion, the more revisions it makes, the better it becomes.

In a taxi to the hotel. The first thing I looked at was, of course, the ratings for the drama.

“The Annals of Joseon Ghosts are over 20 percent.”

The Chronicles of Ghosts of Joseon finally passed the 20% wall of evil before the last episode, and established itself as the best cable drama in name and reality.

“Misty is also doing well at 15 percent. There won’t be any problems with the drama.”

OMCTV is overjoyed by this ridiculous result, and is contacting them to do one more drama quickly, but in Na Young-jin’s opinion, it was right to take a break.

To be precise, so that the syndrome of this Joseon ghost chronicle can spread to a little farther away.

Jae-Ik also agreed to that part, so he only told OMCTV that he was writing a script.

Of course, I’m not lying, the real script was in the process of being written, and it’s just a little late because I’m being pushed by game production and stuff like that.

(No. A novel already?)

the next morning. As soon as Francis went to work, he checked the updates on the cloud and saw that a novel with a sign that it had been completed under Song Jae-ik’s name was uploaded.

And only three hours. After opening the file and starting to read it, I slowly opened my mouth three hours later.

(Huh- crazy. It’s a short story, but it has this much suction power? Consult with Watpad for publication?)

There are already ridiculously good stories out there. All that remains is for them to make good games, right?

Francis immediately called his secretary and set up a meeting for Song Jae-ik’s novel at Watpad.

It was Jaeik’s work, so I liked doing what it said. Anyway, it was a publication related to the game, but the timing of publication will have to be adjusted.

And at the word Song Jae-ik, Watpad called right away.

– (This is Watpad’s Ian McShane. It’s the work of author Song?)

(Hello. I’m Frances Kloska from Techpole Land. Yes. You wrote a short story about the game story while making the game. But they told me to discuss publishing with Watpad.)

– (Oh! My God! A short story! Can I read it right away?)

Francis sent me Cloud’s novel by mail.

– (Oh, I got it.)

(However, since this is a novel related to game production, even if it is released, I would like it to be delayed a little. Similar to the game release.)

Francis finished speaking, but nothing was heard over the receiver.

‘Looks like it’s missing.’

It was rude, but it was an understandable situation. It was ridiculously interesting for a novel I wrote in just a week.

If you are a person in the publishing business, perhaps that will come a lot bigger.

Francis hung up the phone and smiled happily. It was clear that it would probably take two or three hours before they called back.

Because he took that too.

(What is the author doing now?)

(Uh. I heard you are on the figure production team?)

(Huh? Figure production team? Why is that all of a sudden?)

It was a department created to expand into the goods business with the success of the game. Of course, it is a department that makes prototypes of figures to be handed over to small-scale production or production companies that cannot be mass-produced. Song Jae-ik is there.

What else are you trying to do?

—

Jaeik, who was walking around the company to cool off for a while, saw the employees on the basement floor concentrating on figure work.

Perhaps it was the production of the 12-inch figure we are familiar with, the facial sculptors were working in great detail, examining the oven clay with a magnifying glass.

(It would not be an exaggeration to say that the sculptor who sculpts the figure’s face and the painter who does the skin expression, coloring, and painting are all about this job.)

The head of the figure production part, as if Jaeik suddenly became curious, couldn’t take his eyes off the figure production.

In any case, it was clear that if the game they were making was also successful, they would make figures. It will be released only after the final permission of Jaeik, the original author.

(Aha. Sculptor and Painter.)

(Honestly, in the case of the body, there is a basic frame. People eventually see this face as the factor that determines the quality of a figure.)

That was right. After all, the most important thing when people buy a figure is how much the figure resembles the original character.

What the figure team is making now is Andrzej, the protagonist of Wild Hunt.

Even at a glance, the quality of the face was not normal.

(Since manual work is the main focus, it usually takes 1-2 years to make a reservation and receive the product. Of course, there are mass-produced products, but there is a clear difference in quality. Are you interested?)

At those words, Jaeik nodded while looking at the oven clay that was still in its original form.

It was because I felt like my talent had just been digested.

If possible, I wanted to try making Dexter Linder, the main character of the game I’m making now.

(It would be fun to try making one.)

Do you think it would be good to sell a pretty good work?
