Genius Game Planning

Chapter 45 Can You Make a Good Game With Excellent Character and Learning?

Afterwards, of course, is the popular part of signing the contract. I found a reliable lawyer nearby to follow. After signing the contract, Liu Neng flew back to Guanghua City again, and held a short meeting with a few people to discuss the current situation. After briefly talking about the situation, I asked Xu Jiaojiao how the recruitment was going.

"I found a few pretty good seedlings, but we are all young people after all, and our vision is not so unique. These people feel pretty good, saying that there are still two sides, waiting for you to come back."

Liu Neng nodded to indicate that there is no problem, and asked to inform him that he would meet again tomorrow.

Naturally, the interviews conducted by Peng Shuang and others were not good enough. They were all in their early 20s and were still in the interview stage.In fact, Liu Neng had some regrets before this incident. It was best to control the recruitment matters by himself.Xu Jiaojiao showed him her resume and he immediately frowned.

"These people are all students from prestigious schools!" Xu Jiaojiao giggled, "Yes, when we sent out the recruitment information, in fact, many people submitted their resumes; I saw that there were quite a few, so I screened out some We keep people with relatively high education. After all, the wages we offer are not low, 20% higher than the average level, which is quite attractive.”

Liu Neng didn't say whether it was good or bad, he sighed slightly, and said, "We submitted the recruitment requirements from the recruitment website, right?"

"Yes."

"Can I have a look at the resumes of those who were screened out by you? It's fine for these people to make appointments for interviews tomorrow... emmm, don't crowd together for interviews all at once, our office is not very big, so don't be unable to sit down at that time .” Liu Neng complained to himself.

Although I don't know why I want to look at the resumes of those who were screened out, Xu Jiaojiao still complied. Liu Neng took a quick look at them, and most of them were really... not so good, but there were a few of them that really caught his attention. interest of.

For example, a man named Liu Fei, with a junior high school education, worked as a network administrator and a moderator of a well-known qcS, taught himself some programming techniques, and made a mud game "Question Sword".The specific ability level can't be seen from the resume, but Liu Neng feels that this person's experience is obviously much more real than the resumes in his hand.

There is also a man named Ye Qun who has a high school degree and claims to be a hacker. He lists several websites he has hacked in his resume as his experience.His resume is very interesting. Although it looks quite ordinary, he left several information on the resume, and then pointed Liu Neng to a website.Liu Neng opened this website and found that it should be a series of password unlocking questions. He has no time to solve this puzzle right now, but he has developed a lot of interest in this person.

"These three people, Ye Qun, Liu Fei, and Ying Haodong, have made an appointment for an interview tomorrow... let's call now!" he said to Xu Jiaojiao.

Not only Xu Jiaojiao, but Peng Shuang and Zhang Jie also didn't understand, "These people have very low education, do they really need an interview?"

Liu Neng sat upright, facing the three people, "May I ask you a few questions?"

"Ask!"

"Tell me, except for a few geniuses, what should their academic career be like for students who can be admitted to prestigious universities? When they were in junior high school and high school, did most of them study hard every day until late at night, and listen to lectures for two hours? Don't you hear what's going on outside the window?"

A few people nodded, and they have a deep understanding of this kind of thing.Xu Jiaojiao's understanding is a little bit small, but the other two people didn't go to a particularly famous school. They have seen those top students who are top students. They really lived from morning to night, from white to black. In junior high school and high school, learning is all of life.

"This group of people, I don't deny that some people may indeed like games very much, but most likely, they are very self-disciplined and not interested in games. It is true that when we recruit, grades need to be considered, but we need more The consideration is whether they love games; love games, that’s the minimum requirement.”

The three of them suddenly realized, and he said, "However, loving games cannot be used as a complete criterion for recruitment. After all, everyone is in the industry and knows that playing games and making games are two different things. Like playing games does not mean that he can do it." The game is well done..."

"It's too difficult for you to say that. I don't know how to go to the interview." Xu Jiaojiao said depressedly.

Liu Neng was helpless, "Let's leave the recruitment to me for the time being. After our studio is standardized, we will recruit a special HR to help us find new people."

In fact, the game industry has no special pursuit of academic qualifications. Copywriting planning and numerical planning have a certain degree of professionalism, and some people with strong professional skills may be recruited; but system planning, how do you quantify its professional skills?Logical thinking?Is it logical?These are unquantifiable things, and most of the primary system planning is to execute the planning, just fill in the form and spell out the interface. There are no professional or unprofessional things at all.

Of course, it is undeniable that there is a long way to go from executive planning to senior system planning, and there are too many things to learn.

When recruiting and planning, the best way is to chat, and get to know this person from the chat process.

If you recruit game planners, and if you have a famous school complex or academic theories, I am afraid that the game you make will be very painful.Those students with good character and learning have never played games since they were young. Let some people who have never played games to play games. Can this game really be fun?There should be a question mark, right?

Liu Neng arranged the work content for the past few days, mainly to be able to deliver the goods normally before the 15th. Now the development has been basically completed, but it has not yet passed a large-scale test. It may be too late to recruit people temporarily. Liu Neng can only I went into battle by myself, wrote several complete test cases, and then asked Zhang Jie and the others to become game testers and start rigorously testing each system of the game.At the same time, Weiwei is also writing follow-up development documents, including the follow-up development content promised when signing the contract with Feiliu Chuangyu, these are all things.

…………

Liu Fei has been struggling recently. The mud game he made is quite popular in the circle. He originally thought that this game could be used as a stepping stone to open the doors of many game companies.But after submitting resumes from more than a dozen companies, he suddenly felt that he was finished. These people looked down on his junior high school education.

A few days ago, he saw Feiliu Entertainment's game creativity competition, and he was thinking about it, but found that the deadline for submitting the work had passed, and he was even more discouraged.However, I saw the live broadcast of the finals on TV, and saw that the winner was a small game "Don't Step on White Blocks", so I tried to play it, which was quite interesting.He decided that there will be such a creative competition next year, and he must make time to participate.Of course it is not the current "Question Sword mud" but a new game.

However, next year’s creative competition will take a long time, life still needs to be lived, and money still needs to be earned, so I can only continue to submit resumes. He really found a new game studio and took a look at the situation of the studio. I found out that it is indeed a pure new game studio, and I am still hesitating whether to vote or not.When I saw that the salary written on JD was much higher than other companies, I immediately submitted my resume without hesitation.

I didn't respond for several days after I submitted my resume, I thought it was a pigeon.But I didn't expect to receive a call on the third day saying that I was invited for an interview, and I was very happy for a while.
