Chapter 41 Cooperation between Colleges and Universities
Su Li was very busy during this time, in addition to his own game development work, he also found time to participate in several events, and was also responsible for interviewing new personnel.
This time, he will interview all the shortlisted candidates in person, even if they are in the art or technical fields, and he will have an interview with them after the interview with the relevant supervisor.
He has always been in charge of the interviews for game designers.
Although he was busy during this time, he still found time to participate in a wide range of events, ranging from lectures on university campuses to industry events.
Now several universities in China have also opened game design majors, and they are not the same as before, but game design majors, mainly art colleges and large comprehensive universities.
In particular, several art academies in Shanghai have made great efforts to open this game design major, taking a completely different path from before, or a road closer to Europe and the United States.
There are indeed a few universities in China that have opened so-called game design majors before, but one of these majors is counted as one, and none of them are not pits.
Basically, the things taught in schools basically have no practical value, the content is outdated and outdated, completely out of the situation of the industry, and the students are not shallow.
The most important thing about several excellent game design majors in Europe and the United States is that most of these majors have their own obvious tendencies and close ties with the industry.
For example, they focus on programs, or art and design, some tend to focus on commercial games, and some focus on creative indie games.
After having a distinctive feature of their own, the content of professional teaching in these schools is very closely related to the industry, and usually famous schools will invite well-known people in the industry to teach, and the teachers themselves are active in the front line of the industry leaders.
In such an environment, what students learn will not deviate from the current trend, and at the same time, it also establishes a channel for students to connect with the industry, which is convenient for students' future employment.
Now these universities have also begun to follow the path of Europe and the United States, and have also begun to invite some industry insiders to come to teach, as a future oasis that is extremely rich in domestic achievements and at the forefront of the times, it has also become the object of the pursuit of these schools that want to open game design majors.
After all, if a few well-known people from the future Oasis can regularly visit the schools to give lectures and impart their experience, it will greatly enhance the attractiveness of these schools when recruiting students.
Now, if you look at a survey of young people who want to enter the game development industry, more than 80% of them will consider Future Oasis as their first intention.
In the past ten years, through one classic game after another, as well as the trend of the entire game industry, the future Oasis's position in the game industry has changed from a disruptor to a leader.
In the past few years, it can be said that in the future, Oasis will single-handedly change the image of domestic games in the eyes of domestic players and gamers around the world.
Later, Future Oasis drove the development of the entire industry and accelerated the development of the entire game industry through a series of plans.
These young people may not know much about the industry, but in the simplest terms, many breaks in the future oasis are games that accompany them to grow up.
Now, Future Oasis has begun to lead the development of VR games again, and for these young people who are still ambitious and have not been smoothed out by various business routines, Future Oasis is undoubtedly the place they yearn for the most.
In this context, the future oasis that represents the direction of the industry itself has become a fragrant bun in the eyes of these colleges and universities who want to make achievements in the game design major.
Su Li naturally welcomes this cooperation, and the establishment of cooperative relations with universities is itself part of the future plan of Oasis.
Since its establishment, Future Oasis has never stopped thirsting for excellent game talents.
Especially now, for the future oasis with capital expansion, the lack of talent is a big headache for them.
During this period of time, the recruitment of Unreal Studio made Su Li feel very big, although the resume is beautiful, and there are many people who have passed the preliminary examination, but the people who can pass the final interview are really limited.
If you put the scope of recruitment of corresponding graduates, this proportion is even smaller, and most of the fresh graduates who have been able to enter the future oasis in recent years are students who have returned from studying abroad.
It is foreseeable that the lack of talent will become a big problem for the future oasis for a long time to come.
Therefore, Su Li himself also intends to promote cooperation with universities. Through the resources of Future Oasis, we have reached a more in-depth cooperative relationship with a certain school, and use the platform of Future Oasis to cultivate students and give them a broader vision.
At the same time, the future oasis can also provide them with a good internship opportunity, which is a treatment that many students are eager to see, and it is also a very popular treatment for many universities.
If a school offers a game design major, the employment ratio of students and the height of employment can reflect the strength of this major, and if Oasis can provide such a platform in the future, it will also be very attractive to many schools.
Some companies like to recruit students from a certain number of schools, largely because these companies have a good understanding of the teaching situation of the school and have a good idea of the quality of the students who come out.
And Su Li himself is also willing to share some of the things he has with more people.
After some negotiation and investigation, Future Oasis reached a partnership with a well-known university to jointly open a game design major.
This major is not an undergraduate major, but a master's program, which is an MFA (Master of Arts) degree, with a duration of three years, and there are no requirements for the professional background of the undergraduate, and students from any professional background are welcome to apply.
In the future, many designers of Oasis, including Su Li, will also participate in specific teachings. As a busy person, Su Li is also willing to spare one day a month to teach students.
At the same time, in the future, Oasis will also help colleges and universities jointly establish a game development and teaching center with world-class hardware, directly benchmarking several world-class game design majors.
When the future oasis and universities jointly announced the news, it really caused a shock in the industry.
