Chapter 188 Remake (3)


    Aplete remake of the virtual reality version of ‘League of Legends''.


    As soon as Jae-young sat down in the position of the general manager who was leading this, everything passed breathlessly.


    “Now, your time is up. Please tell me how much progress has been made.”


    Jaeyoung was sitting on a soft chair in the middle of the office and looking at the clock. As he shouted in a loud voice, those who were frantically doing their jobs started shouting nonstop.


    “The cast character skill modification isplete!”


    “The battleground reorganization is still... it needs a little more time.”


    “The item image and effect application are in the final stage...”


    Jaeyoung listened to their story while nodding to see if the work had progressed to the level he had expected. He turned his head and looked at a team that was struggling with a cold sweat.


    “How did the reorganization of the battle system go?”


    “That’s it...”


    “Why isn’t it working?”


    Employees with dark faces. Jaeyoung, who went to them and looked at something, soon found something on theputer and showed it to them.


    “sleep. Watch this and try to implement it as simrly as possible.”


    “All this?”


    A video that seems to be about 4 hours long. At Jaeyoung''s order to refer to it and apply it simrly to the game, they asked with white faces.


    “yes. I have a lot of things to do in the future, so maybe I can give you 6 hours, right?”


    “W Six hours? The video alone is 4 hours long?”


    More than half of the given time passes just by watching the video, but it makes no sense to have to watch and apply it. However, Jaeyoung said with a smile without blinking an eye.


    “I believe you can do it all. In fact, it''s a situation where you have to do something even if you can''t meet the schedule...” A


    huge and vast task thatpletely changes the game itself. In fact, it was an unrealistic story to finish all of this within three weeks, but they definitely felt it.


    It seems that he will die from overwork at any moment due to the murderous workload, but if you look at the game that changes little by little ording to his instructions, it is changing to a much improved and better appearance at a nce.


    “coffee! Bring me coffee!”


    “Aaaaaaa! I die!”


    “Hey! I don''t know. Just die!”


    That''s why, at his words, the employees drink all kinds of energy drinks with plenty of caffeine along with coffee and set everything on fire. While Jaeyoung was smiling happily as he looked at them, Manager Yang Minhyuk entered the office.


    “Ah, are you here?”


    “This... what the hell...”


    “Kuaaaaa!”


    “Caffeine! Caffeyyyyin!”


    Employees screaming iprehensibly, banging on the keyboard, and entering the lucid dream capsule. Jae-young''s ominous smile greeted him when he couldn''t hide his embarrassment at the appearance as if he had be a zombie.


    “How... did the story go well?”


    At Jae-young''s request, he went on a business trip far away to handle business. Manager Yang Min-hyeok handed over the brown paper envelope he was holding in his hand to Jae-young and said.


    “The Icarus side also finally agreed to our proposal. They were promised that it would be okay to develop the game using theirbat system, weapons, and characteristics.”


    While listening to his exnation, Jae-young carefully read the stack of papers in the envelope. Then, he nodded and spoke to Manager Yang Min-hyeok.


    “You''ve worked hard..... I was worried about what to do if they told me not to infringe on their copyrights, but now there won''t be any problems.”


    “...Actually, he was very grateful. They even officially asked if they could make their games into virtual reality if there was a chance.”


    Action fighting game Icarus.


    This game, which has hundreds of weapons and various talent skill trees, was once very popr as a game that wages unpredictable battles in virtually infinitebinations.


    Of course, just by looking at it, there are so many characteristics and skills that you''ll get tired of it, and all kinds of various weapons and sub-weapons that you''ve never even heard of, acting as a huge barrier to entry for beginners who are just starting the game. .


    Because of that, new users get beaten up and folded every time they get hit in the water that has rotted away because they couldn''t stand it for a while. In the end, it is a game of misfortune that has be a non-existent old character game that only those who do not know the explosive poprity when it first came out.


    However, for Jaeyoung, Icarus was a little bit more hardcore but a well-made god-game, so he intended to incorporate a lot of the game into this remake.


    “First of all, we adjust the existing skill system a little. It’s not that we’re deleting it at all, but we’re adding new attributes that can be applied to each skill.”


    “how....?”


    “Hmm... For example, there are human hunters, right? If the existing infinite sprint skill simply increases movement speed and attack speed, applying Icarus''s ‘light clothing'' attribute to it doubles the effect, but increases the skill activation time and damage.”


    “Then... Conversely, with the ‘Heavy Step’ trait, the movement speed and attack speed increases are reduced, but the damage reduction effect is added?”


    “You understand. In that way, depending on the characteristics selected, the performance of the skill can also change. The same goes for items.”


    Great sword, short sword, long sword, bastard sword, long sword, dagger, twin swords... Those who first encountered his idea were immediately amazed at the fresh idea, but realized it after judging whether it was applied in reality.


    “Wait a minute... But there are over 100 heroic characters in the League of Legends.”


    “118 to be exact.”


    “Icarus''s characteristics are... 392.”


    “Yes?”


    “Since each champion basically has 4 skills, then...”


    A simple math problem.


    How many cases of skills that change ording to all characteristics and yer choices that exist in Icarus? After vaguely remembering the answer to that question, when everyone''s faces turned to contemtion, Jaeyoung said with a bright smile.


    “About 185,024, right? Of course, it will be difficult to meet the deadline right now... Let''s reveal it first with only about 30 heroes. That should be enough.”


    “But... the number of 47,000 cases...?”


    The question seems to be how to conceive and apply it. Jaeyoung answered the question.


    “You have to do that. There are so many other things to do.”


    “.....”


    “.....”


    That''s how it all started. A hell marathon where everyone will be gnashing their teeth and suffering from PTSD for a while, which they don''t want to do again.


    * * *


    When the design & development team department is suffering in hell while infusing caffeine. President Lee Mi-yeon asked while watching the scene on theputer screen in the office.


    “How''s the situation over there, Alice?”


    Jae-young has no choice but to be interested even if he tries not to. She was taken aback by the sudden phone call from him, but she couldn''t help but wonder even more about the request he made.


    [Can I work here a bit longer?]


    Jae-young proudly exerted influence within thepany by showing off her friendship with her. As she did not reject his request, but approved it, rumors were already spreading within thepany that he was the hidden younger brother of President Mi-yeon Lee.


    [Currently, it appears to be doing aplete overhaul of the Past Glory project. It has been confirmed that some of the elements from that game were borrowed from the IP of another popr game, ‘Icarus'', and also.....]


    Alice is reporting the detailed progress of the project being promoted by the Design & Development Team step by step. . However, the reports were too unfamiliar for her to understand, having never yed all of them.


    “Once I hear him say it, it sounds like he''s making some pretty big corrections... But why are you doing that all of a sudden? Thest time I checked, the game was already in the final stage, and I thought I just had to release it...?”


    President Lee Mi-yeon reminds me of Manager Yang Min-hyuk''s face, who had been arguing to leave it alone just a week ago. However, Alice gave the answer to her question through the data stored on thepany''s intr.


    [We confirmed that a final evaluation of the game was requested through the in-house QA team three days ago. We also collected the opinions of pro gamers who were active in the past ‘League of Legends''. However, I guess the results were much worse than expected.]


    “Hmm..... I see...? Worse than you thought?”


    CEO Lee Mi-yeon was reading each evaluation report with her eyes narrowed. And she frowned when she saw thements that seemed wordy and long, but could be summarized as ‘garbage,'' ‘dungmangem,'' and ‘why are you doing this?''


    “What is this, I''ve never heard of this...?”


    [Perhaps a full-scale adjustment of the game began to ur before reporting. Exactly when the user actively participated in improving the game and when the report was omitted coincided.]


    “...Is that so?”


    President Lee Mi-yeon had a slightly suspicious feeling, but her expression was much more rxed than before. She muttered as she sat down and looked at the busy department staff through the monitor.


    “Still, you look a lot more lively than when I saw you before...”


    [You mean that look...?]


    A face full of glistening dog oil. A magpie''s hair that I don''t know when it was washed. She had not changed her clothes for several days, and she looked so groggy that I could smell it just by looking at her from afar.


    In addition, the people who sipped coffee nonstop and walked around with red, bloodshot eyes were eyes open enough to believe that they were zombies, and it was a pity to see them. Even if rumors spread that thepany is exploiting its employees to the level of very, even if it were discovered by an outsider, it would not be possible to publish a refutation article.


    “Why do you seem to liven things up a lot more than before?”


    Alice didn''t seem to be able to see it, but President Lee Mi-yeon''s eyes clearly saw it.


    Before that, they did not know if what they were doing was right or not and just did what they were told. The strong conviction in their eyes. And the image of all the employees pouring everything into their work, burning their souls and burning their souls, full of desperation without time to think of idle thoughts.


    “It feels a lot better than I thought.”


    [I agree with that part. Looking at what is being changed now, theplexity of the game has increased by 53%pared to before, but at the same time, the degree of freedom of the game has dramatically increased by abandoning the existing system and adopting the same active autonomous system as Arcadia, and applying a system called skill characteristics. ....]


    Alice, the artificial intelligence, began to give iprehensible exnations again. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, looked at Jae-young through the monitor and said while listening to her exnation.


    “After all, you are a unique customer.”


    After muttering something iprehensible to her, she smiled as if she was having fun.


    “A little more than two weeks left...?”


    Game Festa is now exactly 17 days away. ncing at the calendar on the desk, she said something she shouldn''t have said.


    “I can’t wait for the release date.”


    Without noticing the huge events that were about to happen that day.
