Number One Game Designer

Christmas is the New Year in the West, so Fang Xi would naturally bleed on this day.

For foreign studios, this is a statutory holiday and there are rice noodles, grains and oil distributed by the headquarters... Ah, sorry, it’s a mess.

Fang Xi distributed a wave of benefits in this area based on the experience of the last time and space. Although it is said to be Christmas benefits, it will definitely be revealed to the media in the end, so most game companies in the last time and space operate like this:

If you want to recruit talents, recruit more talents, then post more benefits to make other companies envy and hate.

If you want to promote the game, you can send more peripherals of popular games, and the media will understand and cooperate with a draft.

For example, the best thing to do in history is glass slag. When Shankoushan opened a new chapter, it gave mounts and peripherals to employees. When OIW became popular, it gave supply boxes for Christmas. After the storm became popular, it sent storm-related items.

In short, this kind of operation can not only gain a good name but also promote the game. It is a model that kills two birds with one stone. How can it be done here by Fang Xi?

Boss Fang said "I want it all" again.

According to Hongyi’s previously announced regulations, foreign employees and studios received their year-end bonuses and holiday subsidies. The only difference between Huaxia District and foreigners is that the year-end bonuses are issued at different times, so no one said anything, and in Huaxia District Many long-term expatriates have volunteered to have their year-end rewards distributed according to Huaxia's New Year's Day—because the New Year's rewards in the Huaxia District Headquarters are more generous!

So after Xiaolan's careful statistics, the first wave of Hongyi's annual year-end awards was finally distributed.

In total, the current two studios and some foreign employees in China have received their year-end awards this year.

For the two studios of Chongmingniao and Guiche, this is completely a windfall, although it is not much-after all, no matter how good Hongyi's welfare is, it still has to follow the basic law of year-end awards. The two studios have just joined Hongyi. Yi didn't take long, so naturally he wouldn't have much cash, but for grassroots employees, although the money wasn't much, it was enough to warm their hearts.

Among the two studios, Ghost Car Studio in Chicago has just experienced a tearful sale by the boss. There are no projects in the studio, and most of the people have to work as part-time subsidized tutors. The other is Chongming Bird Studio in Greece. Although there seemed to be 200 people working together, two months ago, the 5 million funding gap almost made the person in charge cry, and the economic situation in Greece, Fang Xi had experienced a big bang. Chong Mingniao's previous predicament couldn't be more obvious, and the studio's economic situation is also not good.

Under such circumstances, Hongyi's year-end bonus is like timely rain, conveying an obvious signal: the head office is not short of money, follow along, and have meat to eat!

On the other hand, what really envied the two studios and even hated it was the employees of the North American Xuanniao studio posting their salaries.

The year-end bonus of Xuanniao Studio is more than ten months' salary, and there are also those who get 20 months' bonus, which almost caused the jealousy of other company employees to burn through the floor.

Of course, this is what Fang Xi specifically explained to Su Luo. Although Hongyi has been recruiting people, to be honest, when it comes to social recruitment, everyone has been played by the society. You put your dreams , Responsibility, these things are so hype, it’s not as good as you secretly revealing your salary slip to the other party. When you were in school, you said that you worked for your dreams and to change the world, but you didn’t realize it until you worked for two years. It’s true, but there are The first premise is the premise that you can "have no worries about food and clothing".

So this is also the reason why many established companies, including the current Hongyi, are gradually shifting their focus to school recruitment, because most of the students have dreams in their hearts, and the works they make can be more "spiritual", and large companies are also capable of allowing students to enter After arriving at your own company, you don't have to worry about making a living and can concentrate on your work. The threshold for school recruitment is relatively low, and it can replenish a large number of grassroots talents in the company, which is difficult for social recruitment.

On the other hand, the media also received varying amounts of "Christmas benefits for current employees" from Hongyi.

IGN and GAME World also wrote special thanks.

It is quite a painstaking choice to choose this kind of small benefit. In the last time and space, Fang Xi also received or gave this kind of holiday gift when he was a social animal, and he probably had a good idea in his heart. Colleague: At any rate, the company cooperated with the Goose Factory at that time. Why did the Goose Factory give such shabby gifts on holidays?

At that time, the old employees who were quite a bit older than themselves shook their heads. You, you are really a model. If the goose factory gave a 200,000 Patek Philippe every holiday, even if the goose factory dared to give it, would you dare to accept it? If you accept it, can you guarantee that you will be impartial when encountering negative news about Goose Factory? How can you be sure that such valuables won't cause other troubles?

At that time, Fang Xi, who had just stepped into the society and was ignorant, realized that gift giving was also a difficult subject.

Now it's almost Party A, Fang Xi only needs to explain, and these things will naturally be taken care of by someone. Fang Xi turned around and looked through the media's manuscripts, only to find that the gift from his family was indeed okay.

A limited edition old CD of Killing Planet.

A commemorative Left 4 Dead t-shirt.

A set of crystal models of characters from Left 4 Dead: Battle Royale.

"Eternity" directly has a suit, ranging from backpacks to key chains.

Generally speaking, they are all game peripherals made by Hongyi themselves, which are not precious, but they are sure to work hard, because Hongyi has already used a lot of manpower to maintain the headquarters, so there is no manpower to make peripherals for the time being. Yes, this time I just contacted the factory to make a small batch. If I really want to make a large batch, Hongyi doesn’t have the relevant manpower to control the quality, and I don’t have an online mall. Logistics is a problem, so although the surrounding It also makes money, but it can only be postponed for the time being.

Players are also envious and jealous of these things. Although they seem to be gadgets, Hongyi also said when they gave gifts that these are limited items, and they will still be given away at Christmas next year, but this is different from this year's. same. So this year's delivery is out of print. After the media wrote an article to thank them, many players asked for various purchases:

"Is there a nostalgic limited disc of "Killing Planet"! I watched this game grow to where it is today! I want to buy it for a lot of money!"

"I want the character model of the Battle Royale, it's so beautiful! I'll give you two gold boxes from the Battle Royale in exchange!"

"Look at me upstairs! Is there a good price for the gold box?"

...

What IGN and GAME World didn't say was that the most precious gift from Hongyi was the advance version of the next sample of "Assassin's Creed: Chronicle".

A brand new epic, a beautifully produced CG, a brand new assassin story.
