Chapter 51 Expanding the game map: Recruiting employees

A mature game is often completed by multiple people.

For example, Zhu Yuxing, who did it alone from the beginning, just stood on the shoulders of predecessors and copied it. With the more mature programming system in later generations, it was relatively easy for Zhu Yuxing to make games.

But if you want to build an entire game industry by relying on these, it is tantamount to talking about a dream.

And the number of people needed to make a mature game is now at least five or six people.

In addition to the producer, planning can be all-powerful in levels, values, and plots.It takes a person.

It takes two or three programmers to say less. The program needs to be written repeatedly by trial and error. It is not finished after typing. Sometimes it takes a long time to solve the problem. The insufficient number of programmers will seriously affect the progress.

Then there's art.

Zhuyou Xingxing has aesthetics, but the painting is scum. At most, it is the entire pixel painting that can barely be seen. This can only be done by real painters.

With the functions of the current red and white machine, it is enough to prepare two painters for a game.

However, since it is a teaching method, more people are definitely needed to participate, and it is better to pass on help.

In fact, game production is not troublesome, the world just lacks a person who can open up ideas, such as the principle of game operation.

And if you have time, by the way, try to find a way to study the game engine.

A game engine is like a mathematical software that sets formula templates. You only need to ask questions, and you can give corresponding answers, which greatly reduces the difficulty of game production.

It can be said to be the cornerstone of future games.

Take Yuxing called Matsuhashi over, and now she is mainly in charge of personnel recruitment.

Takenaka Sayaka focuses on the company's management and publicity, and then the two are jointly responsible for legal and financial issues.

"President, you call me."

It has been a week since Matsuhashi came to the company.

Working here makes her feel very comfortable.

There is no discrimination here, and the work is very smooth. Zhu Yuxing has high trust in her, and is willing to give her some troublesome work without worrying that she is a woman and can't do it well.

This is quite rare in Japanese society.

Here, she is full.

And the company is doing well in the long run now.

As long as the sales of game consoles expand to the whole country, it must be profitable.

Now the expatriate Daejeon is doing this.

He has already closed his arcade and has begun to concentrate on the promotion and sale of the game console.

"Are the projects that I need to recruit for now?"

"Parts are already there and interviews are being scheduled."

Matsuhashi took out his notebook.

"You need a total of 52 positions for computer engineers and 34 for computer programmers."

"Where's the painter?"

Matsuhashi shook his head: "No one...but there were consultations. Most of them thought they were drawing some advertisements or the like, but they didn't contact them after inquiring if they didn't meet expectations."

Ok.

Game original painting is an emerging industry, and it is not easy to find an artist who meets the requirements.

But painting has the same goal, it seems that it should not be too restrictive from the beginning.

"Let's increase the coverage of the requirements. Those who are good at advertising painting and film and television painting can also be considered. If you give enough salary, someone should come."

"Ok."

Matsuhashi recorded it in the notebook, then raised his head and asked, "I have already made an appointment for a collective interview this afternoon. May I ask who the president is going to be the interviewer?"

"I'll be fine."

Computer interviews are not difficult, just ask some simple programming questions.

The first thing to do now is to recruit employees first, and then start thinking about training and learning. An industry that starts from scratch will not be too easy.

In the afternoon, Tsukino Aya stood in front of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., hesitating.

Should I go in?

There must be a lot of people, as long as there are too many people, I will be afraid... But I really want this job, it's really confusing.

About the afternoon of the day before yesterday.

At that time, Tsukino Aya was still a little unsure about the story of Dragon Quest itself.

This is the game you like.

At that time, Tsukino Aya thought so.

While thinking about it, I browsed the web at will, and then suddenly saw a job posting on the network where I usually take orders.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd. is recruiting programmers, computer electronics engineers, digital media painters and other positions.

You Xing, I am quite familiar with this name now.

Because whenever I turn on the game console, the first screen that catches my eye is the gamestar screen, and then there will be the word "Yu Xing" in the lower right corner.

This is that game company!

Tsukino Aya, who was still a little confused, immediately regained her spirits.

The company is hiring and working as a programmer.

Tsukino Aya is quite curious about the game now.

She has also extracted the data of the game cartridge by some means. With her computer ability, it is not difficult to reverse the decryption.

She then parsed the program code inside, which gave her a basic understanding of game making.

And as she got to know it gradually, she felt more and more fun in the game.

Not just the game itself, but the game program as well.

It turns out that this villain operates through this logic.

It turned out that the final BOSS only had a few lines of code, and it was obviously so difficult to fight.

It's just that FC's game production is not difficult, but it lacks an idea.

As soon as the idea was opened, Tsukino Aya tried to write a similar game program on the computer by herself.

She quickly made her own game.

However, there is still a big gap with the games produced by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

A game has a whole set of coherent systems.

It is not only enough to study how to write the program, but also to have a creative mind enough to give inspiration.

In later generations, there will be special logic planners and level planners. The more complex the super-large game is, the more professional this planner will be.

She now wonders what the person who creates the game is really like.

Why he can create this interesting electronic world.

If the creator can create a world, does it mean that more can be created?
So if you enter that company by yourself, maybe you can steal the teacher?
With such curiosity, she cast her resume.

A computer science degree from a well-known foreign university does not even require additional requirements. It easily passed the initial review and agreed to conduct a group interview in the afternoon a few days later.

As soon as Tsukino Aya heard the group interview, she flinched again.

Contact phobia.

This is a very strange disease.

And she is such a patient.

Whenever there are too many people in the environment, she will fall into anxiety.

Especially if someone tried to touch him, she doubled her fear.

That's why she wears thick clothes all over her body. Whenever she goes out, she is like a ball.

Now that I suddenly want to go out and participate in a group interview, my anxiety strikes again.

However, curiosity prevailed.

The curiosity about the person who created the game made her overcome the anxiety in her heart for a short time, and summoned the courage to come downstairs of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd.

At this time, a lot of people have come to the door, and they all seem to be the people who came for the interview. Just by looking at their appearance, it can be immediately determined that they are all geeky programmers.
