Game Development Giant

Soon, someone broke a very surprising news on the largest EQ discussion forum.

That is the famous EQ player Flor rejected the invitation from SOE.

In other words, Flor was previously invited by SOE to work in the EQ development team, but was directly rejected by Flor. Moreover, this whistleblower was also generated. Originally Flor was very happy, although he was not He didn't agree on the spot, but said he wanted to think about it carefully.

However, after Flor contacted SOE for the second time, he directly rejected SOE's invitation.

Moreover, the poster this time also claimed that according to what he learned, Flor received a call from Mars Entertainment on the same day, and Mars Entertainment also wanted to invite him to join in the development of an MMORPG game. , of course, was also invited at the same time as another famous player in EQ, Tigul.

At first, many people thought this was a prank.

However, thinking back to the fact that Flor deleted his exaggerated remarks to Mars Entertainment and Jester, many people began to believe this.

As a result, many people began to accuse Flor of being a traitor and a villain.

And Flor has never appeared on the forum to reply. You know, this is not his usual style. He is extremely arrogant and likes nothing more than to quarrel with others. But because he does have some abilities, plus The fighting power is fierce, and ordinary people are really no match for him.

Therefore, his uncharacteristic behavior this time made people feel more and more that what he said in the previous post was true.

In fact, it's not that Flor was embarrassed to go to the forum to talk about it, but because he really didn't have time during this period because he was visiting Mars Entertainment with his friend Tigul.

And Jester also spent a lot of time having a very in-depth discussion with the two on how to develop an MMORPG.

It was not a general talk, but a real in-depth discussion. Even during the discussion, Jester was holding a notebook and recording something from time to time like a student. This also made Flor and Tigul very excited. Very moving, after all. For Jester, the two of them are just two ordinary players. At most, they have some reputation among the player group.

However, Jester is known as the God of Games.

Say something rude. Jester's understanding, experience, or knowledge in game development is simply not comparable to that of Flor and Tigul. It is very inaccurate to say so. To be precise, the two of them were not even qualified to be primary school students in front of Jester.

But even with such a comparison of characters, Jester still paid so much attention to their opinions.

This made Flor and Tigul very excited.

Basically, before the discussion with Jester ended, they made a decision. If they really had the opportunity to join Mars Entertainment, they would definitely be crazy about it.

Although both of them thought that their discussion with Jester was not very good because the relationship might be too tense, the answers they gave made them a little dissatisfied, looking back now. They even feel that their views are naive and one-sided.

Therefore, when they took charge of the headquarters of Mars Entertainment, they were still a little discouraged.

After all, there's a good chance they'll lose access to Mars entertainment.

However, reality does not always go as they expected. After the visit, both Flor and Tigul accepted an invitation, which was personally sent by Jester.

"Are you interested in joining the MMORPG development team? Of course, you will be an intern at first. If you can meet my requirements within three months, you can become a formal member of Mars Entertainment."

Although it is only a job qualification for internship.

But Flor and Tigul agreed without any hesitation.

Because they all know that such an opportunity is rare, and besides, there are now the vast majority of people who are interested in working in the game development industry. Except for those who are really die-hard religious fans, who doesn’t want to join Mars Entertainment? But it is too difficult to get into Mars Entertainment. Recruitment for almost every position requires competition from dozens or even dozens of people.

With such competition, it is difficult for them to get even an internship opportunity.

Afterwards, Flor took the initiative to ask Jester.

"I feel like I didn't perform well in the previous discussion. Why did you still give us this opportunity?" Of course. This is what Tigul wants to know.

Jester just smiled at this question and said simply.

"Because if we need skilled personnel, we can just recruit them from mature teams. I am interested in your talent. I think you are very suitable for the job of game development. You have the talent in this area." , very high talent, that’s all.”

Flor left Mars Entertainment to go back to deal with some matters of his own. His joining date will probably be after New Year's Day.

When I got home and read the posts on the forum, I immediately became furious.

He found that he had been trolled and called a coward for not showing up for a long time.

So he opened a post again. First of all, he explained that he was not online during this period because he had important things to deal with. As for what things were, he would talk about them later.

After that, he talked about the content of the post.

"Indeed, people from SOE have indeed contacted me, because I do have many opinions about the current situation of EQ. These opinions include not only what I have told Tigule countless times about the Paladin profession. characteristics and positioning, so when they asked me if I would like to work in SOE, of course I was willing."

"However, this matter is not a trivial matter. I need to consider it carefully. After all, it is related to my career, so I said I will consider it carefully."

"Afterwards, I did discuss it with my friends, and I also made up my mind to go to SOE to make the game EQ even better, because I really like the MMORPG game type, and I also hope that I like this game. The game got better, and then, something happened to me recently, and Mr. Jester personally extended an invitation to me.”

When I write this. Flor sent the post without writing it.

Then people who saw his post instantly became excited.

Of course, there is no need for Flor to explain who Jester is, because almost all players will be familiar with this name, because he is almost the spokesperson of video games.

The name represents the game itself.

Just when many people were calling on Flor to write down what happened next, another one posted. Posted by Tigul.

However, Tigul's personality is different from Flor's. Although the two have a good relationship, he rarely discusses these things with people on the forum. Usually Flor himself comes to confront people, but this time he may have seen it. There were many posts criticizing Flor, so he posted a post in support of Flor, explaining the situation. The most important thing is that they have now agreed to Jester's invitation. Prepare to join Mars Entertainment after the New Year.

Become a regular employee.

Sure enough, shortly after Tigule's post, Flor's second post was also released.

"I also saw Tigul's post just now. It's true. We received an invitation from Mr. Jester. He invited us to be guests at Mars Entertainment. As a player, he really wanted to know. What does an outstanding EQ player think of this type of game? He also said that he himself also plays EQ, and he feels that this game is full of surprises and gives him a lot of inspiration."

"You know, this is Jester Lee. The invitation from the god of games. This is me as a player, as an admirer of the other party, as a person who grew up playing his games. , there is simply no way to refuse.”

"So, I went with Tigul."

"Really. I used to think that someone who has achieved such great achievements as Mr. Jester Li would definitely not like novices like us who know nothing to point fingers in the areas he is good at. But, That's not the case at all. When we met, we were in Mr. Jester Li's four-person reception room. We called him sir, but he shook his head and told us to just call him Li."

"You can't imagine his humility until you meet him."

"You have to know that the two of us are just two idiots. We are just better at playing one game. But when he discussed this game with us, he was extremely serious. He even brought a notebook with him from time to time. I took some notes, and after our conversation for more than an hour, I secretly looked at Mr. Jester Li’s notebook, and it actually recorded three or four pages of what we discussed!”

"You know, I personally feel that some of the things we said at the time were very naive, but Mr. Jester Lee still said that he gained a lot."

"Yes, Mr. Jester Li later sent us an invitation and asked if we would like to come to Mars Entertainment. We Tigul did not hesitate because we never thought about refusing. This is our dream. It is our dream to work at Mars Entertainment, and as a player and an ordinary person who wants to work in game development, I will never hide this."

"I am also grateful to SOE for inviting us before. EQ is also a game that I like very much. This game complements my view of what an RPG game should be to a certain extent, but I am still dissatisfied. The place."

"I hope I can make an RPG game that even I can't find fault with."

"Although it is difficult, I hope to try."

After talking about this post, Flor also said by the way that although he will still play the game EQ, he may not invest too much energy in it. After all, he will be working soon, and playing An MMORPG game requires a lot of energy to invest, and he also said that he will not come to this forum very often and just post casually to criticize games, developers or other people like he did before. .

The messages that followed were not very offensive, but mostly wished him good luck in Mars Entertainment.

But Flor also smiled.

He only has an internship qualification now. Whether he can stay at Mars Entertainment in the future is still a matter of a few months. Many people also know that Mars Entertainment has extremely high requirements for employees, and they are complaining a lot.

There are even people who have interned at Mars Entertainment before.

Talking about his experience in Mars Entertainment.

"I really miss that experience, because the development environment of Mars Entertainment is really special. They are different from any other game company, including my current EA. That kind of environment is simply a developer's. My favorite, but unfortunately I didn’t succeed in staying there, but if I have a chance in the future, I will still join Mars Entertainment!”

There was even a Mars Entertainment employee who responded to Flor later.

"When you were visiting Mars Entertainment in the past few days, I saw you passing by our development team. Before, I thought that Flor, who had a combat power of five million on the forum, must be a mighty and majestic person. Unexpectedly, I also heard that shy."

Of course, most of them are envious.

Gamers, there are some who don't want to work for their favorite game company, and Mars Entertainment must have many fans.

"I'm so envious of being able to go to Mars for entertainment."

"Yes, it would be great if I could go too..."

"I submitted my resume when I graduated last year, but I was rejected in the first round of interviews. I was really sad at the time..."

"You were successful in the first round, but like me, you were in the last round, but you still got kicked off. That feeling is simply indescribable..."

"You guys are nothing. I passed the interview last year and got the internship qualification, but I was so happy at the time that I went back to drink some wine with my friends at night, and I got into a car accident..."

There are more and more statements like this on this post.

In the end, even people from SOE came out to congratulate Flor and felt sorry for not being able to cooperate with him.

This incident even made the headlines of several influential game websites during this period when major game companies had no new game releases. After all, this kind of game company recruits from gamers. It's really rare for an employee to do something, let alone a personal invitation from Jester.

This is simply unprecedented. (~^~)
