The basics of game design, from getting started to entering the grave

Chapter 5 "I Will Force It"

"Jiang Jiang, how was the interview?"

"I'm still waiting for you to join the company, and the figure will be soft!"

Facing the passionate questions from his roommate on WeChat, Jiang Qiuqi really didn't want to reply.

Participating in the interview was accidental, and failure was an established result. Jiang Qiuqi didn't want to admit it, but he still cared a little bit.

"No."

Jiang Qiuqi told the truth.

"I heard that they have pressure interviews, and the interviewers are very fierce. You won't meet them too, right?"

It turns out that this inhumane interview method is still a tradition?What a vicious atmosphere this is.

The more Jiang Qiuqi thought about it, the more angry he became, and he complained to his roommate.

"It's okay, breaking the company, we don't care about it!"

After listening to her experience, the roommate comforted her.

Jiang Qiuqi didn't reply anymore, instead he took out his computer and started searching for recruitment information of other game companies.

As a fresh graduate, school recruitment is the best way to enter a game company. It will not overly require any professional skills or experience, but will pay more attention to creativity.

Of course, you also need to meet people who can recognize your creativity.

In addition to the recruitment information, there are also special suggestions for revising resumes on the Internet. Jiang Qiuqi fiddled with the computer for a long time, and finally chose a few companies that he thought were reliable to deliver.

It was getting dark, and only the chirping of cicadas remained outside the window.

Jiang Qiuqi lay on the bed, recalling the dreamlike experience of the past two days.

The first 22 years of my life went smoothly.The original family is rich, so Jiang Qiuqi didn't have too many setbacks.After all, when you were young, there were not too many problems that money could not solve. Even if there were, it was only because there was not enough money.

As for his learning ability, he has also passed the test of the official national examination. Although he is not a genius, he is not an idiot after all.

But when it comes to dreams, Jiang Qiuqi is not sure what exactly she wants.

I remember that in elementary school essays, her dream was to be a scientist, but later she chose liberal arts; in high school, she wanted to be a reporter, punishing evil and promoting good, so happy, but unfortunately the university volunteered to switch to language.

Jiang Qiuqi knew in his heart that the reason why he could let go of what he once dreamed of was roughly the same as losing love for a trivial matter.It's not impossible, it's not enough love.

Now, she suddenly wanted to give up the same "not loving" study abroad and choose a game company.

I don't know if it was motivated by the continuous chicken soup, or because she was unwilling to be denied, she just wanted to try again.

If you fail once, try a second, third time.Zhao Min's pursuit of Zhang Wuji did not rely on persistent efforts.

She also wanted to force it once.

What's more, even if the job interview fails, she can still go that way.

Think of it as business research!

It's just that it can't cause too much impact on the family...

Thinking of the usual request from the family member, Jiang Qiuqi decided to keep it a secret.

I don’t know whether it’s because she was too focused on the game, or that PUA master hit Jiang Qiuqi too hard. In her dream all night, she wrote the level design plan in the dim cabin, and there was a man in black with a whip standing behind her. Keep pointing at the design plan.

In the next few days, Jiang Qiuqi took the written test of several companies, large and small, and received three interviews, which were arranged in the morning and afternoon of Friday.

The largest company is the current leader in the game industry, Jigoose.There are five rounds of interviews, arranged in the morning.It is said that the first two rounds are group interviews, and the last three rounds are individual interviews.

There are also a lot of interview experience posts on the Internet. Jiang Qiuqi made impromptu preparations and became bald.

In the afternoon, it will be easier. The two relatively small companies are interviewed by one person.It's a pity that there is relatively little information that can be found on the Internet, and there is no way to study in a targeted manner. I can only pray secretly, hoping that they will not be too far behind the big companies.

On the day of the interview, Jiang Qiuqi still wore the same casual attire, a loose T-shirt with jeans, and a canvas bag with no logo.

The last time the interviewer recognized the brand of the bag, it was really embarrassing, but today's standard college student attire should be fine.

Pack your bags and head to the battlefield.

The Goose Game is more aggressive than Donghu Residence. A few kilometers away from the city center, it has directly built a park with more than a dozen buildings.

Jiang Qiuqi arrived early. After signing in at the gate, HR gave her a meal coupon and asked her to go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast.

There are obvious signs in the park of Jigoose, so there is no need to worry about finding the way this time.

Jiang Qiuqi had already had breakfast, and it was still early before the interview time. She also wanted to walk around and feel the atmosphere of a big game company.

In the early morning of summer, the temperature is just right.Not far from the sign-in office, it is divided into three roads, leading to the office area, living area and sports area respectively.

The office area is the place to wait for the interview. Jiang Qiuqi stands under the sign and looks out.Belonging to the end of the sports area, what appears to be a very nice football field.

The living area should be richer, right?In case I also... start a company later, these are the experiences of field trips.

With an attitude of learning and exploring, Jiang Qiuqi chose a direction.

The lush grass is dotted with white flowers; in the shallow pond, a few koi are faintly visible; on the water surface, a string of small bubbles ripples.Several scenes are connected in series, like a small park in the middle of the street.

A burst of mellow coffee aroma followed the wind into Jiang Qiuqi's nose.

Jiang Qiuqi can tell the difference between dark roasted coffee beans and other processing methods in an instant.

Like his father, Jiang Qiuqi has a soft spot for coffee, but unfortunately, under the eyes of his mother, no one can drink coffee.

It's rare to meet someone he likes, Jiang Qiuqi decided immediately that he should not be ashamed of the opportunity.

The line to buy coffee was unexpectedly long. Jiang Qiuqi looked at the time, concentrated on lining up at the end of the line, and opened the "Mianjing Collection" to review.

"Student, are you also here to interview the planner?"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Qiuqi looked back, and in the parallel field of vision was the collarbone that could raise fish.

so tall?Jiang Qiuqi looked up in surprise, and a plain and calm face appeared in front of him.

With this look, she is the best sports girl to get along with.

Thinking of the football field before, Jiang Qiuqi couldn't help remembering the way the person in front of him was running and sweating, and was lost in thought for a while.

"Student?" The brain supplement object tilted his head and called her.

"Huh? Well, yes, you too?"

"Yeah, I found out by looking at the content on your phone," she raised her phone screen, "I was watching it too, what a coincidence.

But... I didn't mean to peek. I have no choice but to have the advantage of height. "

Jiang Qiuqi shook her head, indicating that she didn't care.It's not important information, and nothing will be lost if it is seen.

"Have you interviewed with other companies before?"

Seeing Jiang Qiuqi's statement, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

Although it has been a few days, Jiang Qiuqi is still not completely relieved.There is no need to share your predicament with a stranger.She thought about it and picked out some brief descriptions that were suitable for discussion.

"Yes, the previous interviewer asked me about my thoughts on level analysis. At that time, I didn't know much about it. After I went back and checked the information, I probably understood that the level has four elements and a basic production system.

For example, he used "Super Mario" as an example at that time, why does it not need to guide the player to know that the direction is to the right? In fact, this point can be analyzed from the content of the scene terrain.

Ma Moou faces to the right and stands on the left side of the screen. When he enters, the direction of travel of the brown mushroom is also to the right. These are all subconscious guidance.

...Sorry, I said a lot unconsciously. "

The girl changed her posture from listening to thinking. When she heard Jiang Qiuqi apologize, she quickly waved her hands and said, "What you said is very valuable. The theory seems to be easy to understand and easy to memorize. The important thing is to apply it in practice."

It does feel good to be appreciated.Jiang Qiuqi was happy for a while, and discussed with the girl again.

The two discussed while queuing up, and walked from the coffee shop door to the meeting room together.

The waiting time is fleeting.

"Please enter the class whose name has been read."

Jiang Qiuqi was called out, so he had to hastily end the conversation with the sporty girl.Jiang Qiuqi turned his head and planned to say goodbye to her, only then did he realize that after discussing with her for so long, he still hadn't asked her name.

Jiang Qiuqi was the last one to enter the conference room and was assigned to the right group.

The first round of group interviews consisted of eight people, divided into two groups, and the group was further divided into four groups. After each person introduced himself, he entered the group session.

There are random questions in the group session, and there is 10 minutes of preparation time.Then a 3-minute proposition game explanation is required.

After the presentation is over, another member of the team asks questions, and the presenter answers for three rounds.

In the end, one person from each group will be selected to advance to this round of interviews.

According to the rules, the safest way is not only to answer the other party's question, but also to include some words that induce questions in the answer.The questioner needs to avoid these temptations, find out the fatal flaw in the answer, and attack with all his strength.

This interview is like a sumo match on the edge of a cliff.The two stretched out their palms to test each other, false and true.Sometimes trying your best will push you into the abyss.

Jiang Qiuqi has prepared many plans, and he has a bottom line in his heart, so he is naturally calm.

"Now introduce yourself, it will last for 1 minute, starting from the first person on the left."

After the interviewer finished speaking, he sat down behind the group of them.
