Almighty Game Designer Chapter 38: Recruitment
In the past life, moba games dominated the PC and mobile terminals, and there is basically no opponent in sight. In Chen Mo's view, the dominance of moba games will continue for a long time, perhaps for five to ten years.
As for what game can replace moba as the king of the next decade? neither knows.
If someone really knows the answer, then he can start research and development now.
This is the case in the previous life, let alone the parallel world with underdeveloped game design concepts?
In the parallel world, although there are VR games, in Chen Mo's view, these VR games are not as playable as moba.
For PC games, the most impacted by VR games are first-person adventure and FPS, followed by strategy and management, such as casual games and mobile games, which are hardly affected by VR games.
In Chen Mo's view, moba games are in a parallel world. As a game type that has never appeared before, it has the same huge potential as the previous life.
That's why he asserted that PC games will never die, and PC Internet cafes will never die.
Of course, he will not explain this kind of thing to others, let alone reveal any game concepts.
Zhuoyao looked at the layout of the experience store and asked: "I suddenly thought of a question, are you alone in your experience store now?"
Chen Mo was taken aback: "What do you mean by myself? Isn't this so many players?"
Zhuoyao explained: "No, I mean, there are network administrators and cashiers in the Internet cafe. You are alone here? Can you do the work?"
Chen Mo said: "Oh, what do you mean. If you can do it, you can get on the machine and these are all self-help for the players. As for the daily maintenance and cleaning, there are special personnel responsible for it. I actually don't have to do anything."
Zhuoyao said: "Then you have to stare on the first floor? But isn't your studio on the second floor?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment. Really, he ignored this question.
Now the experience store has officially opened for business. It is open every morning, ten and eight, and Chen Mo has to stare at it on the first floor. But Chen Mo's studio is on the second floor.
In other words, Chen Mo has to hire a front desk now.
Zhuoyao said: "I think you should hire a front desk cashier to help you with these things. You are now a well-known designer. You can't do everything yourself, right?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense..."
Zhuoyao stood up and said, "Okay, I have to go back. You will come to my internet cafe the next day. They are all neighbors. Let's move around more."
"No problem." Chen Mo stood up and sent her out.
sent Zhuo Yao away, and Chen Mo began to consider recruiting a front desk.
"Plants vs. Zombies" has entered a stable state of profitability, and Chen Mo is no longer as constrained as before, and there is no problem in paying for another person's salary.
But what Chen Mo considers is, besides the front desk, should he recruit other people?
Many designers have assistants. Like some A-level or S-level designers, they need to design some large-scale VR games. It is definitely not something that one or two people can complete. You need an entire team.
Chen Mo is now quite famous. If he recruits assistants now, it is very likely that many designers who have not gotten started will come without salary.
However, Chen Mo hesitated.
This world is different from previous lives. The company structure in the previous life is a combination of strong and powerful. The more talents, the better a company will develop. Explosive games require the joint efforts of R&D, distribution, and channels. For games, creativity is not everything.
But the parallel world is different. Creativity is everything in the parallel world. Chen Mo has no doubt that if an A-level designer gets the idea of a moba game and gives him a year, he can develop a game like A decent moba came out.
Chen Mo's Thunder Mutual Entertainment is far from being a giant like Emperor Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment. Creativity can be said to be a lifeline for him, and there must be no slippage.
He is now the person who holds the Pandora's Box. Once the Pandora's Box is opened, it will inevitably cause drastic changes in the entire gaming circle. At that time, other game companies will not be able to wait and die, and some changes will definitely occur.
What if this change comes early? That is by no means good news for Chen Mo.
So, recruiting assistants is risky. Working together for a long time, Chen Mo's design philosophy will inevitably affect this assistant. If this assistant becomes aware and establishes himself, then for Chen Mo it is tantamount to cultivating a rival for himself.
Chen Mo was a little tangled.
However, after thinking twice, he decided to hire an assistant.
After all, he will have to develop large-scale games in the future, no matter how he can do it by himself, this step has to go out sooner or later.
Of course, this assistant must be selected strictly according to his own requirements, rather than not making mistakes.
Chen Mo thought about it for a while, and he knew it in his heart. He turned on the computer and posted a long Weibo.
"Recruitment: A person at the front desk of the game experience store, requiring a female gender, with good facial features~IndoMTL.com~A serious work attitude and a basic understanding of the game industry."
"Recruitment: A game designer assistant, regardless of gender, requires a full knowledge of the game industry, professionalism, and a serious work attitude."
" Candidates need to prepare the following materials: 1. Personal resume, 2. Appreciation of "Plants vs. Zombies" game, 3. Appreciation of a mobile game on the market, 4. Prospects for the future prospects of the game industry."
"Please send the above information to my designer's mailbox, and the examiner will reply by email to arrange an interview."
finished writing the long Weibo, Chen Mo read it and felt that there was no big problem, click send.
Chen Mo's Weibo now has nearly 100,000 fans. It is basically filled with players and game industry players who love Plants vs. Zombies. After seeing this long Weibo, they were surprised and forwarded them one after another.
"This is a good opportunity to help."
"I really want to go, but I haven't graduated yet, help transfer."
"The designer of "Plants vs. Zombies", he will definitely learn something when I go there and help."
"Want to go! I'm going to write game appreciation!"
Soon, this Weibo of Chen Mo was reposted continuously, and many people showed their intention to come.
Of course, there are more people who want to be assistants, and very few want to be the front desk.
Even in a parallel world, it is not so easy to enter the industry. Many people who are not talented enough to make games independently have the only way to join the game industry to be assistants.
Chen Mo is now quite famous, and there are bound to be many people who want to learn to play games with him.
In the eyes of many people, Chen Mo’s first game is a hit game. He is a very talented designer. Following such a designer, he will definitely learn a lot.
