Chapter 379. Draft in the gaming world
Shen Gushu put down the phone, with doubts and a little disappointed at the same time.
"What's wrong?"
Yin Zhensi, a colleague on the side, stopped tapping on the keyboard and asked.
"The call from the personnel department, they said that they did notify the maker of the 'Moon Temple', and they didn't find the wrong person, but it's been more than a week, why haven't they replied."
Shen Gushu said, looking at the cabinet next to the office, there were several trophies inside.
This is the office of the Dragoon Studio, which is owned by hardcore technology, he and his friend Yin Zhensi were originally producers of another game company, and then left because of some contradictions, and established this studio, which could only be outsourced at first, and after making a few games, it was directly acquired by the deep-pocketed hardcore technology, and now it is developing an action game.
Naturally, Shin Gushu and the others also played the latest DLC of "Breath of the Wild", "Made in the Wild", and in addition to lamenting that this DLC completely subverted the previous form of "game", they also noticed the designers of those maps at the top of the leaderboard.
For example, Gao Yingqi was noticed by them, and he was going to contact him directly, but the hard-core technology side is a large company, and this kind of contact must be carried out by the personnel department, so after going through the process, Shen Gushu was handed over to the personnel department.
However, it has been a week now, but Gao Yingqi has not responded for a long time, so that Shen Gushu has to wonder if his colleagues in the personnel department are perfunctory.
After making a phone call and repeatedly emphasizing the importance of this person, Shen Gushu couldn't help but have the idea of contacting himself.
"It's hard to find talent now, and those fresh graduates have to work in the industry for at least a few years before they can take up front-line jobs, and this kind of independent producers scattered among the people is really rare."
Yin Zhensi replied, they browsed the works of the top 50 producers on the list, and almost all of them sent invitations, and as of today, except for Gao Yingqi, who ranked first, the other forty-nine authors have replied.
Only four of them were willing to come to Dragoon Studios for an interview, and the other twenty or so were either already having stable jobs and making games on a whim, or were already employees of other game companies.
The rest of the people have already been contacted by other companies in advance.
For the gaming industry, "Made in the Wild" has a more profound impact than a DLC.
It's similar to a big draft, where these designers embody their game-making mindset in "Made in the Wild" and are therefore favored by game companies, because the leaderboard is based on millions of likes, so there is no water, which is the actual verified ranking.
Looking at it this way, Gao Yingqi, who is at the top of the list, has naturally become the focus of game companies, and it seems that getting this rookie means that the company has won the victory in this competition.
"Could it be that he has already been signed?"
Yin Zhensi asked, he remembered that Gao Yingqi was not a person in the game circle, and he didn't seem to have a serious career, if he didn't go back to the personnel department, then maybe he had already contacted other game companies.
"It's impossible, at least Suoren Mutual Entertainment didn't recruit him, and like us, the news over there was also a waste of time, haha."
Because Shen Gushu is in hardcore technology, he naturally has a little hostility towards Suo Ren Mutual Entertainment.
"What about Hatsune games?"
Yin Zhensi asked.
"Hatsune Games...... Could it be that he was waiting for the Hatsune game? ”
Shen Gushu came to his senses at this time, since he is a player of "Breath of the Wild", then he is sure that Hatsune Games will also notice Gao Yingqi, and in fact, if he puts aside his position, Shen Gushu feels that Gao Yingqi may also choose Hatsune Games more.
After all, the company's treatment is well-known in the industry, and it doesn't have to work overtime often, all kinds of benefits are full, and the working environment is also very good.
At the Hatsune Games Annual Conference last year, even the Sunshine Award was an expensive cosmetics or game console, tablet, etc., which was the envy of others.
And the number of works of Hatsune Games is not large, but each one is a high-quality product, and as a person who aspires to enter the game industry, Hatsune Games is undoubtedly a perfect company.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and Shen Gushu was restless all afternoon.
It's not just because of Gao Yingqi's thing, but also because of Hatsune Games' next game work.
After "Breath of the Wild", Hatsune Games will inevitably develop a new game in addition to normal DLC development, daily maintenance and operation of the game, etc.
It has also been rumored that the game type of Xu Rui's next game will be completely different from the previous one.
After a third-person shooter action-adventure game, an open-world action-exploration puzzle game, what game format would he choose?
Shen Gushu's current game development progress is less than ten percent, and if Xu Rui starts production now, or has already started production, then it is estimated that the probability of two works crashing on the release day is extremely high.
Collided with Hatsune Games' new work, and everyone saw the end, and the games that were released at about the same time as "Breath of the Wild", whether it was a major work or a small piece, sales were extremely dismal, far below expectations.
This reason is very simple, although it will not be discounted because other people's works are 100 points, your 80 points, but since players have played 100 points of works, why spend time and money to play 80 points of works, players' time and money are limited, even if not from the player's point of view, from the perspective of merchants, publicity media, they are more willing to give more resources to the quality and good sales of works.
Of course, Shen Gushu would not affect his work because of this kind of chasing after the wind and shadows, he still completed today's plan seriously, and did not drive home from the company until more than ten o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he got home, before he had time to take a shower, Shen Gushu saw that someone in the work group had forwarded a screenshot.
The screenshot is the content of Weibo, since the "Made in the Wild" update, Gao Yingqi's Weibo followers have increased significantly, this picture is Gao Yingqi's Weibo, his Weibo name is "Kind and Compassionful Cat".
[Kind and Compassionate Cat]: Thank you Hatsune Games, thank you for "Breath of the Wild", and I hope that Hatsune Games will continue to bring you fun games in the future.
"Did he really go to Hatsune Games?"
Shen Gushu felt a burst of detachment, but thinking about it, it was more helpless.
In its current state, Hatsune Games will gather more and more talented production staff, while other companies may even face a talent shortage.
What Shen Gushu doesn't know is that this situation has already appeared in the animation industry, and many animation companies are complaining, because the first choice of powerful animation production personnel is all phantom animation!
