092. Is this an alpha version?

Tack – Tack –

Only the rapid tapping of the keyboard echoed in the quiet living room. Jaeik was terribly focused on the monitor, and his hand tapped the keyboard faster and faster as time passed.

widely-!

And hit the enter key.

“Complete!”

Before the filming of the last week of my winter vacation, Jaeik hurrahed and lay down on the spot.

The result of all the hard work has finally come out, so what do I need to say?

“finally?”

“finally!”

Jaeik jumped up from his seat just in case, hit the save button repeatedly, and then lay down again.

“Is this the alpha version?”

“right. During the afternoon filming, I should give it to the production team once to see their reaction and if there is something to be corrected, I have to hand it over to Mflix as soon as possible. Will it be in a week?”

“Does it go that fast? If it’s an alpha version, shouldn’t it be a beta version with modifications and a closed beta for people? Besides, there must be something extra to add.”

“uh···? I know?”

Jaeik looked at Kangseok as if he was asking what he was talking about.

“It’s the first version, so isn’t it an alpha version?”

“you. Is there anything I can fix or add to it?”

“no? Of course, if there is nothing to fix, it will be finished as it is.”

“Then what the hell are you playing? It’s just the finished version.”

“ah.”

Come to think of it, he was right. The reason it took such a long time in the first place was because from the beginning, it was just to hit everything without modification.

Even though I skipped the usual alpha version and all the tests because I was so confident.

“Then, what is the paid payment model for games?”

“Where is that? Anyway, the development cost, everything was covered by M-Plex. You just have to have fun.”

“Crazy. really crazy.”

“So how long is the play time?”

“If you just go through the main story like reading a novel, it will take several hours, but if you go through all the routes and go through the achievements. Wouldn’t it still come out in a few dozen hours?”

“this. is that alpha? It’s just a finished game. And dozens of hours of text games? uh Doesn’t it take longer to play than most RPGs?”

“Well, then you can test it and deliver it right away. Anyway, the paid payment model or something like this was not included in the Mflix contract. After all, this is the meaning of expanding the world view.”

Of course, since Mflix was a game Jaeik made alone, he thought the volume wouldn’t be that high, so he didn’t include that clause, but anyway, Jaeik raised one corner of his mouth.

Even though it was possible to make a text game with a smaller volume with a completely new story, making a text game with a large volume was an action for a reason.

The infinite expansion of a full-fledged worldview.

With the web novel Decided to Become a Villain as the main theme, the prequel in which the beginning of the web novel and the end of the drama overlap in Mflix, and the early days of cataclysm in the text game.

And in the novels scheduled to be serialized in the future, there was a great possibility that other stories of the world related to the cataclysm would soon be produced as animations as well as transmedia works.

The world view of the story I created in Korea will be organically related, and the scope will continue to spread.

It simply means that I am wider, but also by the fans.

“The game is complete!”

“What? Is it already finished?”

When Na Young-jin accepted the tablet Jae-ik gave him, he looked surprised. Because it’s pretty fast.

“Try it once and let me know if it’s okay. Some kind of user test?!”

“good! good! I have to set up a separate camera and capture the reaction. It’s vacation homework! You should definitely check your homework!”

It would turn out to be a very nice picture. It means making a game out of entertainment. It’s not some kind of game-making documentary.

Besides, making a game doesn’t mean that the viewer ratings will drop or that the picture won’t come out.

“Yongwoo!”

“yes! Seniors!”

And Na Young-jin had to shoot anyway, so she handed over the tablet to the youngest assistant director, who is familiar with mobile games.

And it was an assistant director who was also a fan of Jaeik. Didn’t you openly brag that you joined Jaeik’s fan cafe through this shoot and read all of Jaeik’s works?

“Play once. A game made by Jaeik. The reactions are very realistic. After a few hours, I pass it on to another assistant director. While filming the overall reaction. OK?”

“Yeah I see! And how do you know that I like games again?”

Nam Yong-woo accepted the tablet and put on a happy face. Through this shoot, he also joined Jaeik’s fan cafe and was very curious about the outcome of the game he was making.

‘But it’s a text game. How to capture the reaction. I’ll sell it at the market later, but it’s not fun. If it’s fun, then that’s a problem.’

It was obvious that if I said it wasn’t fun, the atmosphere would get cold. That’s not fun, but if I said there would be problems later. I don’t know if it’s another game, but text games will definitely have an entry barrier.

“Let’s just take the reaction as it is. factually.”

Yongwoo Nam nodded, put the tablet down in front of the camera, and clicked the game icon.

“Whoa. I am nervous.”

It was clear that the response would be tremendous if I just uploaded this to Archivist today.

[Seoul 2060.]

Calm yet slightly gloomy music flowed calmly, and when I pressed the game start button, the character setting window appeared.

“The music is great.”

The background music already seemed to convey the gloomy atmosphere of the game.

“What is this? Didn’t I say this was a text game? And isn’t it an alpha version? Why is the picture in the background so full?”

Simple black-and-white drawings continued one after another like an animation. It was a very short time, but with that cut, Nam Yong-woo was immersed in the game. and the text that follows.

The text was short and concise, but it had a strange suction power that drew people in.

“Five. Operation is simple. Are you also developing a character?”

And Nam Yong-woo, regardless of the busy surroundings. I literally fell in love with the game.

—

“How many hours has he been doing that?”

“Hmm… maybe it’s because I’ve been in that state since I got the tablet. At least five hours?”

“Aren’t you eating dinner?”

“yes. Didn’t you answer when I called? Just wave your hands.”

“It’s crazy.”

Na Young-jin was taking a picture of Nam Yong-woo, who was not taking his eyes off the screen with his head down on the tablet.

What the hell is it doing when you leave it to follow the reaction of a game?

No, apart from that, I wonder how much fun the game is.

“Whoa.”

The cast had already gone to bed, and the production crew was now looking around to wrap up today’s filming.

“hey. Yongwoo! Nam Yong-woo!”

“Huh-! Yes, senior!”

After calling Na Young-jin a few times, I burst into laughter as I raised my head from the screen and answered.

“No, how much fun is that?”

“Sir, this is crazy. It’s really crazy.”

“How the hell is it? It’s just a game. mobile games.”

At Na Young-jin’s words, Nam Yong-woo shook his head with a firm expression. Can we just call this a game?

Of course, the game was correct, but I was certain that it was the game that I had been concentrating on in the shortest period of time out of all the games I had ever played.

In addition, as soon as the flow stopped, a deep aftertaste remained. I felt like my hands were itching because I wanted to continue, and even while talking to Na Young-jin, I kept looking at the tablet.

I couldn’t leave the thought that I had to continue my adventure with that character.

But it was a job. Na Young-jin was a far older senior than himself, and he was the head of Na Young-jin’s division.

“Ugh… seniors, try it yourself.”

Nam Yong-woo gave the tablet to Na Young-jin with a hesitant hand gesture while looking at him with really regretful eyes.

I haven’t even seen the ending yet. While thinking the same thing about how many branches I couldn’t choose.

—

“Hey, that’s crazy. Can this be done alone?”

Was Song Jae-ik like that? It will be a transmedia story, a new story that shares the worldview, not OSMU, which makes the same story of the work in different media.

I even looked up the word transmedia because I was unfamiliar with it, and I roughly understood its meaning, but I never thought it would be this much.

Na Young-jin rubbed her reddened eyes and took her eyes off the tablet.

The sun had already left the black sky and the day was getting brighter, and Na Young-jin put down the tablet with a look full of regret.

It was so much fun, but I did it because I wanted to. I literally did it until dawn.

No, it wasn’t just the daylight, it was the time for the staff to prepare for the morning shoot one by one.

“I understand how Yongwoo felt.”

It was natural to study the cast’s works, so I knew mostly about Jaeik’s works. I have also read I watched all the dramas.

A text game that connects all those stories. And in it, rice cakes that can be understood when looking at all of Jaeik’s works were scattered everywhere.

I could feel that all the works and the worldviews of the characters were intertwined like a really finely woven net.

‘He’s a real genius. does this make sense? How could one person build such a worldview alone? And that too in such a short time.’

Beyond surprise, I was a little in awe of where the end of that ability would be.

“It seems that the seniors have tried it too.”

Nam Yong-wu nodded his head while spouting a smile at Na Young-jin’s eyes widened. Because I could fully understand Na Young-jin’s appearance.

“When is the official release?”

“Well. me too that I know you signed a contract with Mflix. ”

“Even if I can’t, I will have to wait a few months.”

“maybe···?”

I was curious about the end of that game and wanted to see it at the same time. But when do we wait for the official release? It’s not even a day or two.

I had a strong desire to grab Jaeik by the collar and shake him as he was cooking in the yard right away. I mean release the game soon.

“ah! how was the game? Is it worth it?”

“Is it worth it?”

“yes. It’s the first game I ever made. how good would it be I didn’t play it either.”

Na Young-jin and Nam Yong-woo sighed at the same time.

It seemed that he hadn’t thought about the value or ripple effect of that game at all.

Read at noblemtl. com

Literally, the expression of a pure developer who is curious about game reviews.

“It was great, really. When this game is released, there will definitely be a storm. Is this a simultaneous release in Korea and the US?”

“yes. Translation isn’t difficult, I’ve already done it. What if you send it to Mflix and complete the final inspection? Are you going to go right up?”

“It’s crazy. What the hell can’t you do?”

Na Young-jin also responded by making a fuss. Although I don’t know much about mobile games, I was convinced that at least I had the eyes to see the value in the content and in these areas.

In that sense, Song Jae-ik’s game is just crazy. just crazy If you don’t even like smartphone games very much, don’t you already have an answer if you’ve been playing all night?

“I do not know. I don’t know yet.”

“Oh wow, what a great guy.”

—

And after a while, a game with the Mflix logo was released in the two major app markets in Korea.

[Seoul 2060]

It’s a text game, but it’s a game that requires a fairly large download.

It wasn’t even advertised on TV like mobile games these days. It’s just Jaeik’s Youtube channel, and the fan cafe Archivist and Mflix channels?

(Crazy or genius.)

(I think it’s both.)

(Yes. One of them is too bad, right?)

Reed Hastings stared blankly at Jaeik’s game, which had been uploaded to the app market for his mobile phone, with wide eyes.

What was the shock you got when you first got the game? Indeed, there was confusion as to how far Song Jae-ik’s value would go.

I just made a game and it wasn’t a problem. Even if it’s a mess, if you make a game, you made a game.

However, Song Jae-ik made the game insanely well. Everyone who has played the game has the same answer.

‘The story is insanely interesting. It’s a text game with crazy grip.’

Even Reed Hastings wasted hours playing Jaeik’s game.

(Without a paid model, that level of volume and scale alone. You said you made it before King’s game? Even King’s game is in charge of the team. Team.)

(Haaa. It’s ridiculous. You can’t believe it now that the results are right in front of you. Author King’s work is now being finalized and will probably be on the market next week or next week.)

(Plus they put some pretty fun stuff in at the end of the game.)

(Right now, the last one isn’t the issue.)

Natalia pointed to the phrase at the top of the game description.
