Super game designer

After the job fair at Tsinghua University, a total of 68 new employees were recruited, all of whom are talents in game copywriting, game numerical values, character artists, animation artists, programming, market research, game evaluation and other aspects.

Zhuang Li has none of the game content planning and design talents that he values ​​most.

In addition to Zhao Minmin who joined Ares Entertainment as a consultant.

It’s not that Tsinghua students lack innovative ability and inspiration. It can only be said that they are not very good at playing and don’t know how to play. Maybe they have good inspiration and innovative ability in other fields, but when it comes to games, they really don’t know how to play.

Meet Zhuang Li's requirements.

I left Tsinghua University with regret.

The next stop is the job fair at Peking University.

It was already evening when we arrived at Peking University. This was also Zhuang Li's first official visit to this Longguo institution of higher learning, which is as famous as Tsinghua University.

Judging from the environment and layout of the school, Tsinghua University gives people a more sense of technology and modernity, while Peking University has a strong cultural heritage and classical atmosphere.

Principal Lin also brought several leaders of the school to greet Zhuang Li outside the school gate.

Zhuang Li went to Tsinghua twice some time ago. The students at Peking University have long wanted to meet the youngest leader of the Dragon Kingdom. When they heard that Zhuang Li would come to Peking University in person to hold a job fair for Ares Entertainment, the students were very excited.

Also because of Ares Entertainment's extremely high welfare benefits, many students participated in the job fair. Moreover, the job fair was held at night, and almost all the students came.

Because the home stadium of the Qingbei team is built on the Tsinghua campus, no building on the Peking University campus can accommodate so many students at the same time to hold a job fair.

In the end, we had to decide to hold it outdoors, on the largest lawn in the school.

At the same time, in response to Principal Lin's suggestion, Ares Entertainment Company sent people to arrange the holographic imaging technology equipment in advance.

Therefore, what everyone sees at dusk is not an empty grassland, but a spacious and luxurious conference venue. You can also see the starry sky when you raise your head.

I have to say that Principal Lin’s idea is really good.

Zhuang Li couldn't help but sigh.

The job fair held on the lawn looked even more impressive than the one held at the Qingbei team's dedicated hall.

This is something that President Qiu of Tsinghua University did not expect.

It can be seen that compared to Principal Qiu’s scholarly temperament, Principal Lin’s mind is obviously more open.

This also gave Zhuang Li more expectations for the Peking University Job Fair.

Because it was his first time to come to Peking University, at the request of teachers and students, before the job fair began, Zhuang Li reluctantly took the stage and gave everyone a dose of poisonous chicken soup.

Of course, although the chicken soup is poisonous, if you taste it carefully, you will find insights and insights, and what you say are the cruelest and truest reality.

Maybe some students still don't understand it now, but when they step out of campus and enter society, they will understand that the poisonous chicken soup that Zhuang Li instilled in them is the mantra of life.

After the poisonous chicken soup infusion was completed, the formal part of the job fair entered.

Peking University also sends teachers from the student employment department to help with interviews and recommendations.

Similarly, a number of talents in copywriting, numerical values, art, programming, market research and other fields were quickly recruited.

Students from both schools are quite capable in this regard.

When it came to talent recruitment for original game inspiration, which Zhuang Li was most concerned about, Zhuang Li felt the difference between Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Tsinghua students pay more attention to logical rigor in their thinking, which makes them tend to use the framework of existing games to make more rigorous and detailed modifications and additions when faced with the interview questions raised by Zhuang Li, rather than independent innovation.

This logical and rigorous way of thinking is very suitable for scientific research, but it is relatively insufficient for artistic creation or innovative design of games.

The students at Peking University were different. Zhuang Li found that they seemed to be better at letting themselves go.

The students brought over by Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi who passed their preliminary interviews, after hearing the questions raised by Zhuang Li, almost immediately let their thoughts run wild without any rigorous thinking, and all kinds of wild ideas emerged in an endless stream.

Although not all of them were interesting, and many of them simply didn't work logically, Zhuang Li was still very satisfied with their bold and novel ideas.

Don't underestimate this seemingly absurd, unconstrained, and completely free-spirited way of thinking.

Those who can ignite the spark of thinking are often such people, and their inspiration may bring about a whole new world and a whole new field.

Even Zhuang Li, a veteran in the gaming industry, has benefited a lot from their unconstrained ideas.

In the end, with almost no effort, more than 20 game planners and designers were successfully recruited.

After the job fair at Peking University ends, the staff of Ares Entertainment's original game department will be basically recruited. The next step is the establishment of the department and the training of employees.

Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi are mainly responsible for these matters.

The next day, the new employees of the original game department first went to the company's human resources department to complete the relevant signing contracts, and then all gathered in the department office.

Even the consultant Zhao Minmin came here, mainly to see the company environment and the status of the students.

Zhao Minmin was very surprised when he saw that the more than 20 planners and designers in the new department were all Peking University students.

He didn't expect that Zhuang Li spent a long time selecting game planners and designers at Tsinghua University but was not satisfied with any of them. As a result, they were all recruited at Peking University.

Could it be said that students from Peking University are really more inspired by students from Tsinghua University?

Of course, she did not raise any questions about this. He believed that the reason why Ares Entertainment selected these students was that they must be outstanding. As the company's game planning and design consultant, she would have many opportunities to get to know them in the future.

Because it is a new department, the related equipment and office supplies are still being improved, and all new employees are being recruited, so the department has no specific tasks for the time being. Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi took everyone to visit the company's original game production department to visit and learn.

Zhao Minmin worked with the newly recruited game planners and designers to perfect the new game she proposed.

It is also the first project after the original game department was officially launched.

The name of the new game has been temporarily named "Angry Birds Match" by Zhuang Li. Zhao Minmin needs to complete the general framework of the game before the new department is officially launched, and also helps the planners and designers to make a complete plan.

These are all obligations mentioned in the contract.

Only then did Zhao Minmin realize that she, as a consultant, did not seem to be as relaxed as Zhuang Li said...

However, she didn't resist too much. She happened to plan to stay and observe what was the difference between students from Tsinghua University and students from Peking University, and why all the planners and designers recruited by the company were Peking University students.
