Almighty Game Designer Chapter 40: Interview

　　 These requirements are all added together. What Chen Mo wants to find is this person:

　　 is young and has potential to be tapped.

　　 has a more comprehensive ability and can be competent for the work of an assistant.

　　 has a basic understanding of games.

　　 must not have too much ambition, and must not pose a threat to Chen Mo's future plans.

　　According to this standard, Chen Mo screened all the resumes he sent today.

　　 The result is regrettable.

　　 No one meets Chen Mo's requirements.

　　 Of course, Chen Mo was mentally prepared for this result. His requirements are very strict, and this is only the first day, so he doesn't need to worry at all.

　　……

　　 three days later.

　　 At 10 o'clock in the morning, the experience store opened normally, and Chen Mo continued to write design documents for the new version of "Plants vs. Zombies" with his laptop at the front desk.

　　 The several major functions this time are relatively simple. They are all attached to the original framework. The rules are also very clear, so it is very smooth to write, and there is not much need for repeated consideration.

　　 The big framework is almost ready, and the next work is mainly to refine the document and make it.

　　 In the past three days, Chen Mo received a lot of resumes from candidates and arranged four or five interviews, but he was not satisfied with the results and did not find the assistant and front desk he wanted.

　　The few people who came for the interview were either almost spiritual, or they were too careful to think too much. They all had their own faults, and Chen Mo was not satisfied.

　　 After all, there is still a difference between looking at a resume and a real interview. You can also reflect some subtleties in your manners, words and deeds.

　　Chen Mo’s standard is that unless he meets something that is particularly satisfactory to him, he will not consider anything else.

　　 He certainly wouldn't make do with it.

　　 "Hello, I'm here for an interview." A voice said.

　　 Chen Mo looked up, and there was a girl outside the door, about 23 years old, with short hair and bangs, she was very cute, with a smile from the heart, very infectious.

　　 "Oh, hello, please come in."

　　 Chen Mo stood up and took out the printed resume from the side.

　　Chen Mo led the girl into the meeting room and poured a glass of water.

　　Su Jinyu, 23 years old, is a senior student majoring in fine arts at a well-known key university in the Imperial Capital. During the period of school, various awards were softened, and the resume was almost impossible to write.

　　 However, Chen Mo roughly judged that Su Jinyu is not a strong organization backbone like Wen Lingwei, but a biased model. The various rewards on the resume are basically hard work that no one else wants to do.

　　 In other words, she is not a kind of speculative student, on the contrary, she is more practical and able to work.

　　 So far, Chen Mo has a good impression of Su Jinyu.

　　 "I have read your resume, and I understand the basic situation. The interview is just casual chat, don't be nervous." Chen Mo said.

　　Su Jinyu nodded: "Hmm!"

　　Chen Mo felt that she was too worried. Su Jinyu didn't have any nervousness at all. She should have seen this scene a lot in school. It may also be that she is born with a larger heart.

　　 "You can write on your resume. Both the front desk and the assistant can do it. Why?" Chen Mo asked.

　　Su Jinyu said: "Ah, because I think if you can't be an assistant, then you can be a front desk. You can learn something as a front desk too."

　　 This is a very pragmatic answer. Chen Mo can see that Su Jinyu's posture is relatively low, probably because she has tried to be a game designer before but failed.

　　 "Why didn't the art major choose to be an painter, but a game designer? I saw your hand-painted, and the level is very high, and I am fully qualified as an original painter." Chen Mo asked again.

　　Su Jinyu replied: "Well...on the one hand, it is because being a designer can give play to my ability in drawing, on the other hand, I think game designer is a more creative profession."

　　Chen Mo said: "However, you have also tried to develop some independent games, but you have never gained the identity of a designer. Do you feel that you are not talented enough?"

　　Su Jinyu said: "Well, maybe my talent is really not high, but I won't give up!"

　　Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask the next question: "What do you think is the most important quality of a game designer?"

　　Su Jinyu frowned slightly, obviously this is a relatively vague question, she needs to think about it for a while.

　　 "Well, I think the most important quality of game designers is to stick to their beliefs." Su Jinyu replied.

　　 Chen Mo was taken aback: "Faith?"

　　Su Jinyu explained: “Ah, don’t get me wrong, it’s not the traditional belief. I mean, game designers should always stick to their original heart, make games that move players, and bring players happiness and inspiration. ."

　　Chen Mo thought for a while and asked: "If there is an opportunity now, you go to make a game with poor reputation but make money, would you do it?"

　　Su Jinyu is a little puzzled: "Why make money with a bad reputation?"

　　 Chen Mo said: "It's just a hypothesis."

　　Su Jinyu thought for a while: "Um...I don't know. I can only say that if this game makes me think it is a bad game, then even if I make more money, I won't do it."

　　Chen Mo continued to ask: "What if I want to make a game like this?"

　　Su Jinyu was taken aback: "Huh? You are the designer of "Plants vs. Zombies". How can you make this kind of game without paying attention to word of mouth for money?"

　　Chen Mo said: "To be honest, I am very likely to develop some profitable but poor reputation games in the future. If you can't accept this, then we can't cooperate."

　　Su Jinyu frowned slightly, obviously this choice made her a little tangled.

　　 After thinking for a moment, Su Jinyu said: “I shouldn’t be able to make you change your mind. To be honest, I really like the game "Plants vs. Zombies". I think you can develop such a game, it must be a talented person. A talented designer, you can learn a lot by being your assistant."

　　 "I'm relatively stupid. I wanted to be a game designer by myself before, but I didn't succeed, so I wanted to start with an assistant and learn."

　　"Do you think this is okay? I will be the front desk, but you can also let me take on some assistant work. If I encounter a game I don’t like~IndoMTL.com~, I can choose not to do it."

　　Su Jinyu's attitude is very sincere, neither giving up her perseverance, nor trying to influence Chen Mo's ideas.

　　 If you are an assistant, Su Jinyu must follow Chen Mo's orders in game design. Even if Chen Mo asks her to play games that she doesn't like, she must do it. This is the professional accomplishment of a game designer assistant.

　　 So, Su Jinyu wants to be the front desk and also an assistant. This is a relatively compromised approach.

　　 Chen Mo thought for a while.

　　Su Jinyu is his most satisfied applicant so far. The most important thing is that Su Jinyu has a natural love for games, and she is a person full of positive energy, positive attitude, and very capable of infecting others, and such a person Working together should be very enjoyable.

　　 However, what worries Chen Mo is that Su Jinyu and his ideas are not completely compatible.

　　 Obviously, Su Jinyu is someone who has to "stand and earn money", while Chen Mo is different.

　　 The game industry is very dangerous. In front of Chen Mo, there are giants such as Dichao Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment, as well as countless latecomers who want to become the only winner in this environment. , It’s not enough to rely on the few boutique games in the past.

　　 Chen Mo wants to develop a large-scale boutique game and needs a lot of money, so for him, the only goal now is to make more money. It doesn't matter if he temporarily sacrifices some reputation.

　　 This will definitely conflict with Su Jinyu’s philosophy.

　　Chen Mo thought for a while and said, "Well, before you graduate, you can always be here as a front desk and part-time assistant. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can leave at any time. If you wait for graduation I’m willing to stay when I’m in, how about we sign a formal contract again?"
