Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 190 This is not a game, but a job
In this era, there are no real professional players, let alone game studios.

If there is, it must be in the "Legend of Jin Yong" MUD created by Fang Jie.

For the MUD game "The Legend of Jin Yong", he basically didn't take care of it for the past two months.

During the summer vacation, the game server has been relocated to the special computer room on the third floor of Boiling Internet Cafe. As long as the version is not updated, the two main planners of Boiling Games, "Knife" and "Lover", usually follow the game development plan given by him. , maintain it through the MUD client.

These two are now the WIZ in the MUD game, with some basic management rights, but only remote management.

Except for Fang Jie, no one is qualified to enter the MUD computer room. This is mainly to prevent the leak of the source code version. After all, the source code of the comprehension MUD and its subsequent versions is original, and it will be developed into a graphical online game in the future, which requires strict control.

At present, the maximum number of daily online users of MUD games has dropped to more than 5000, and the remaining group of people are almost all die-hard fans. After the launch of "Network Three Kingdoms", the current daily turnover is fluctuating around 20, and it seems that there is still a downward trend.

Directly in the school computer room, Fang Jie logged into the MUD and posted a wave of advertisements with the Tianshen account.

Well, all the computers in the computer room of the school have installed the MUD independent client program. This is not what he asked for, and it is estimated that the technicians from Boiling Game did it.

"Boiling game studio recruitment: recruiting professional players, full-time. Work place: Nanhu Campus of Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology. Requirements: gender is not limited, major is not limited, age 18-23 years old, high school or below. Currently ranked in the MUD game The top 500, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, strong ability to withstand pressure, can accept two shifts.

"Fresh graduates from high school, technical school, and technical secondary school are given priority! Once hired, the treatment will be favorable!"

Seeing this recruitment information, the game has been boiling again since the last recruitment event.

Mainly because it feels weird.

Others are recruiting people with high academic qualifications, but God is good. High academic qualifications are not required. As long as the academic qualifications are low, there are almost no restrictions except for the ranking of game players.

Immediately, someone asked: "Master Tianshen, are you discriminating against us college students?
"No." Fang Jie replied: "I am promoting social employment. You college students, you should stay in college and study hard."

Another asked: "Is it okay to be older?"

Fang Jie said: "No way. The two-shift work system, the physical strength can't keep up."

"How about a younger age?"

Fang Jie said: "Child labor is not recruited. Those who are over 18 years old, or have reached the age of 16, and have the ability to work independently after applying for an ID card, are also acceptable in principle."

After the uproar, the game quickly calmed down, because not many people really met the conditions.

The top 500 games are basically those who know a little bit of programming or have taught themselves a little bit of robot scripting. Most of them are college students with related majors, or people who love to study, have a strong ability to accept new things, and have strong logical thinking skills. .

For such people, if there is no special reason, it should be no problem to go to a university, at least get a technical secondary school diploma, so there are not many people who are smart, have low education, and are still under the age of 18-23.

In the end, Fang Jie only recruited a dozen full-time game talents in the game, and asked them to be in place within 2 days. As long as they pass the interview and assessment, they can start working.

This is definitely not enough.

So he made another call to Boiling Games and asked all the technicians in the company who were idle all day long to come to the school computer room.

At the same time, from the newly established Computer Association, through the membership registration form, a group of freshmen who understand basic computer operations and fill in the hobbies and interests column are gamers, and ask the organization staff of the association to notify them to come to the computer room for an interview immediately assessment.

Although the vast majority of freshmen are novices who don't understand computers, there are always some game masters in the base of more than 4000 freshmen from the merger of the two schools.

In the afternoon of that day, many freshmen who received the notification came to sign up.

In the evening, Fang Jie gathered everyone who signed up today.

This group of people is very excited. I heard that they are playing games, and they can earn money after applying for a job. The key is that they can do these things blatantly in the name of learning in school. Is it too exciting?

But Fang Jie quickly poured cold water on this group of people.

When the first batch of 30 interviewees arrived at our side and listened to Fang Jie's lecture, the boss said this: "Although I said I invite you to come, it is indeed to play games. If you do well, you will be paid. It's an easy job to surpass your parents. But, because of this, you should not play this work as a game, but as a job."

"Since it is a job, you must have a correct attitude. During the working period, arriving late and leaving early, making loud noises, stealing and cheating, doing things in one's own way, acting recklessly, disobedient to orders, lack of teamwork spirit, and no sense of confidentiality, the affairs of the game studio Propagating everywhere...then I'm sorry, all salary and bonuses will be deducted for the month, and I will be fired immediately, and I will never be hired!"

"That is to say, this is a very serious and hard work that needs to endure loneliness and boring work, not a game. If you don't have this kind of awareness, I'm sure, it won't be long before your mentality will collapse. It won’t last long. So before the interview, I made my ugly words up front, and it’s still too late for everyone to quit.”

What he said was very serious and stern, but it couldn't scare the group of people at all, including the game master employees from Boiling Game, they all didn't take it seriously, thinking that Fang Jie's words were simply alarmist.

Seeing the expressions of these people, Fang Jie knew that he had said a lot of nonsense.

Well, I really don’t cry without seeing the coffin.

Based on his experience, among the first batch of 30 candidates, it would be considered good if 10 long-term workers can be left in the end. As for the seven or eight people in the boiling game, it is estimated that none of them will be able to stay.

Because the game studio is really not playing games, but just a high-intensity physical work that eats youth.

Let's not mention these for the time being, anyway, let's wait and see.

Seeing that no one quit, Fang Jie led the group to conduct a game ability test in a computer room classroom.

There are three games used for evaluation. They are the stand-alone game "Beach Landing 6", which was launched in June this year, to test everyone's reaction speed and precise micro-manipulation ability; the 2000D space stand-alone game "Homeland", which was launched a year ago, It is used to examine the ability of learning acceptance and combat strategy.

The last one is "Wulin" which is being tested internally. Because of its game engine and basic game operation, it is very close to "Lineage I", so it is most suitable for practice.
