Chapter Forty-Six: Can You Make a Good Game with Character and Learning?
After signing the contract, Liu Neng flew back to Guanghua City again, found a few people to have a short meeting again, roughly talked about the current situation, and then asked Xu Jiaojiao how the recruitment situation was.
"I found a few good seedlings, but after all, we are all young people, and our vision is not so unique, these people feel pretty good, and they say that there are two sides, waiting for you to come back."
Liu Neng nodded and said that there was no problem, and let me inform me to come back tomorrow.
Peng Shuang's interviews are naturally not at the same level, they are only in their early twenties, and they are still in the stage of being interviewed. In fact, Liu Neng regretted this matter a little before, and it was best to control the recruitment matter by himself. Xu Jiaojiao took his resume to him and went through it, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"These people are all famous students!" Xu Jiaojiao grinned, "Yes, our recruitment information is sent out, in fact, many people submit resumes; I saw that there were a lot of people, so I screened out a lot of them first, and kept those with relatively high academic qualifications. After all, the salary we offer is not low, 20% higher than the average, which is still relatively attractive. ”
Liu Neng didn't say whether it was good or not, sighed slightly, and said, "We are from the recruitment website, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Can you show me the resumes of the people you've screened out? These people can just make an appointment for an interview tomorrow...... emmm, don't huddle together for an interview all at once, our office is not very big, don't be unable to sit down at that time. Liu Neng complained to himself.
Although it is not clear why she wants to read the resumes of those who have been screened out, Xu Jiaojiao still complied, and Liu Neng roughly browsed it, and most of them were indeed very ...... Not very good, but there were a few people in it who really piqued his interest.
For example, a man named Liu Fei, who has a junior high school education, has worked as a network administrator and a moderator of a well-known qcS, taught himself some programming skills, and made a mud game "Ask the Sword". The specific level of ability is not very obvious from the resume, but Liu Neng feels that this person's experience is obviously much more real than the people with these resumes in his hand.
There is also a man named Ye Qun, who has a high school degree and calls himself a hacker, and lists several websites he has hacked as his own experience in his resume. His resume is very interesting, although it looks quite ordinary, but he left several pieces of information on his 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, and he didn't have time to end this puzzle for the time being, but he was quite interested in this person.
"These three people, Ye Qun, Liu Fei, and Ying Haodong, have all made an appointment to come for an interview tomorrow...... Call now! He said to Xu Jiaojiao.
Not only Xu Jiaojiao, but Peng Shuang and Zhang Jie also didn't understand, "These people have a very low education, do they really want an interview?" ”
Liu Neng sat upright, facing the three people, "How many questions do I ask you?" ”
"Ask!"
"You say, except for a few geniuses, what should the student career look like if he can be admitted to a prestigious university? When I was in junior high school and high school, did most of you study hard until late at night every day, listening to lectures until you couldn't hear anything outside the window? ”
A few people nodded, and this kind of thing was well understood. Xu Jiaojiao's experience is still a little smaller, but the other two people, who are not particularly famous schools, have seen those top students, who are really from morning to night, from white to black, in those years of junior high school and high school, learning is the whole of life.
"I don't deny that some of these people may have a lot of games, but most likely, they are very disciplined and not interested in games. It is true that when we recruit, we need to consider the results, but what we need to consider more is whether they love the game; Love the game, that's the bare minimum requirement. ”
The three of them suddenly realized, and he said, "But loving games can't be used as a complete criterion for recruitment, after all, everyone is in the industry, and they know that playing games and making games are fundamentally different things, and liking to play games doesn't mean that he can do well in games......"
"It's too hard for you to say that, I don't know how to go to the interview at all." Xu Jiaojiao said depressedly.
Liu Neng was helpless, "In the future, the recruitment will be handed over to me for the time being, and after our studio is standardized, a special HR will be recruited to help us find new people." ”
In fact, the game industry does not have any special pursuit of academic qualifications, copywriting planning and numerical planning, which have a certain degree of professionalism, and may also recruit some people with strong professional skills; But how do you quantify the expertise of system planning? Logical thinking? Is it organized? These are non-quantifiable things, and most of the primary system planning is the work of executing the plan, that is, filling out the form and spelling the interface, which is not professional or unprofessional 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 planning recruitment, the best way is to chat, and get to know the person from the process of chatting.
If you recruit game planners, and there is a famous school complex or academic qualifications, I'm afraid the game you make will be very - the egg hurts. Those students who are excellent in character and learning, from childhood to adulthood, don't play games much, let some people who have never played games much do games, can this game really be fun? There should be a question mark, right?
Liu Neng arranged the work content of the past few days, mainly to be able to deliver normally before the 15th, and now the development has been basically completed, but it has not yet undergone large-scale testing, and it is a little too late to recruit people temporarily, Liu Neng can only go into battle by himself, write several complete test cases, and then let Zhang Jie and several of them incarnate as game tests to start strict testing of various systems of the game. At the same time, I am also writing follow-up development documents, including the follow-up development content promised when I signed the contract with Feiliu Creative Entertainment before, these are all things.
…………
Liu Fei has been quite entangled recently, and the mud game he made is quite popular in the circle, and he originally thought that using this game as a stepping stone could knock on the door of many game companies. But after investing in more than a dozen companies' resumes were all lost, he suddenly felt that it was over, and these people looked down on his junior high school education.
A few days ago, he saw the game creative contest of Feiliu Creative Entertainment, and he was even more discouraged when he found that the deadline for submitting his work had passed. However, when I saw the live broadcast of the finals on TV, I saw that the winner was a very small game "Don't Step on the White Block", and I tried to play it, which was quite interesting. He decided that there would be this kind of creative contest next year, and he must have the time to participate. Of course, it's not the current "Ask the Sword MUD", but a new game.
However, next year's creative contest will be a long time, life still has to live, money still has to be earned, can't, can only continue to submit resumes, he really found a newly opened game studio, a little look at the studio's situation, found that it is indeed a pure new game studio, still hesitant to vote. When I saw that the salary written on JD was much higher than that of other companies, I immediately submitted my resume without hesitation.
Originally, I didn't respond for several days after submitting my resume, thinking that the pigeon was gone. But I didn't expect to receive a call on the third day saying that I was invited for an interview, and I was happy for a while.
