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

Chapter 6 is different than expected

According to the rules, the interviewer will intervene when necessary, and only observe at other times.

No approval, no denial, just take your own results.

Jiang Qiuqi took a deep breath, isn't this more oppressive than the so-called "stress interview".

"Hello, everyone. My name is Zhang Yi. I am from Peking University. During college, I led the production of three independent games, two of which have been launched on the ebic platform, with nearly 30 million daily users, and the copyright has been bought out by the platform. The games currently in production It has received investment from a mobile game platform, and the first expansion pack has been released, with [-] pre-orders..."

Before coming, Jiang Qiuqi already knew that there would be many bosses in the interview.But isn't this a little too much?Start your own business without stress.

Even though it was so terrifying, most of the people around looked calm. They played three games, which seemed to be no different from selling three watermelons downstairs.

"It's time, stop."

"Sorry, I have one last sentence."

"I said stop. Next."

The interviewer was merciless, and the impassioned boss had no choice but to shut up and sit down resentfully.

"My name is Li Aiqing, and I come from Huaqing University. During my time at school, I created three scripts, which were bought out by two film and television companies and a game company respectively. One of them will be released on Central Eight this month. I like it very much. Playing games, I am very good at text creation, line scripts, and screen performance. I can stand up to a team by myself."

The girl who spoke was wearing black-rimmed glasses and ordinary clothes, but she spoke neither humble nor overbearing, confident and calm.With the previous arguments, the last slightly exaggerated sentence is also very convincing.

Sure enough, the self-confidence brought about by ability is far stronger than all external conditions.

The following self-introduction basically continued the style of the first two. Within ten minutes, Jiang Qiuqi felt that the virtual assets in the room continued to increase, at least several hundred million.

Jiang Qiuqi was the last one.Most of the things she did during college had little to do with games.So when preparing for this link, she chose to take a slanted approach.

"Hi everyone, my name is Jiang Qiuqi, and I come from Jingbei Foreign Languages. For games, I prefer to focus on a certain detail. For example, the extreme glory of the extremely popular game in recent years, which seems to have nearly 8000 million daily activities, but I think, a few months The market will usher in a sharp drop. The main reason is the core matching mechanism.

Regarding this point, I have also prepared some amendments. The most important thing is to return to the design purpose.

I don’t have much time, so I can’t go into details. Everyone should have played this game. You can think about it together. Does the experience really meet the needs you want to meet?Does a short-term hit really mean complete success?
Of course, these are just some of my opinions, and I hope to be able to inspire others, and hear more ideas from you in the coming time. "

Jiang Qiuqi looked at the interviewer on the opposite side. Although he tried his best to conceal it, the smile of approval on his mouth still did not fade away.

Most people are obsessed with showing their abilities, but they forget that what is extremely lacking is never a master, but a screw who is willing to discover and solve problems.

Next is the group session.

One question per group, choose your own angle.

The topic was drawn by lottery. Jiang Qiuqi spread his palms forward and politely invited his teammates to do it.

The square piece of paper was unfolded, and Jiang Qiuqi took a closer look, and saw that it was "Hundouluo".

Before coming here, Jiang Qiuqi prepared an analysis of nearly ten games. According to the interview experience, most of the questions will choose popular games.Unexpectedly, today, the style of the past has been changed, and it has been replaced with a classic game.

This is probably the feeling of hugging Buddha's feet temporarily but hugging pig's trotters...

"How about... let me talk first?"

During the preparation time, teammates took the initiative to propose.

Her teammates are not as good as the previous two, but from his self-introduction, it can be heard that he has a lot of game experience.Start a few minutes in advance, and it should be easy to catch a soul pocket.

Anyway, this question was also drawn by him.

Jiang Qiuqi agreed happily, and even had a little discussion with him about the starting point.

The two reached an agreement on their respective entry points, and then separately prepared for another 5 minutes.

Although it is not a prepared topic, according to the established direction, it is still possible to follow the cat and draw the tiger.Back then when I was young, my father and brother played it all night.Jiang Qiuqi is most familiar with the sound effects of game over.

What if he doesn't talk about martial arts, but talks about my entry point?
While preparing, Jiang Qiuqi suddenly had this idea in his mind.

The heart of defense is indispensable, Jiang Qiuqi tried his best to remain calm, and glanced at the draft paper aside.

Sure enough, the opponent's draft paper had "level elements" written on it, which was her starting point!

Jiang Qiuqi was furious. If she didn't know the possible situations of the interview in advance, would she have to bite the bullet and act on the spot?
In her preparation, no leading questions were included.She chooses to just exposition, above board.She has even made up her mind that she will never embarrass her teammates during the questioning session.

They are all strong, so it's not good for each to rely on their own abilities?
But she was allowed to meet a teammate who used the rules, and it was still in the situation of deceiving her!

Dad often said that in the business field, it is profitable to take the initiative to ask for a job.Jiang Qiuqi originally thought that people should not think too badly of people, but now that he has only stepped into the society, the intrigue has come.

"Time is up. The first group of students, please speak."

Jiang Qiuqi and his teammates stood up at the same time.

"Excuse me, can I 'ladies first'?"

Since she chose to use the rules, don't blame her for using moral pressure.

The teammates were at a loss for words for a while, so they had to sit down in embarrassment.

According to the prepared framework, Jiang Qiuqi explained the rationality of the game design from the four aspects of visual style, music dynamics, scene terrain, and level flow, and then extracted a specific level to analyze the rhythm of the entire level from the flow experience.

But his teammates were not so smooth. The content he prepared was basically the same as that of Jiang Qiuqi, so naturally he couldn't say anything more.Time was running out, and he was completely unprepared, so he could only say something here and there, in a mess.

"The villain in "Soul Doll"... no, sorry, it's the main character..."

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, the teammates' faces flushed, and they stammered even more. Before they could say a few more words, they were stopped.

The question-and-answer session that should have been only briefly passed.

So, don't have the intention of harming others, who knows when the evil force will come back to you.

Jiang Qiuqi is not the Heart of the Virgin, and he was almost killed, so how could he sympathize.

Suddenly, a very penetrating cry came to the ear.

"The interviewer... woo woo, you have to be the master. We both discussed and talked about one aspect separately, but she was ahead of me and said what I had prepared! woo woo... Then I, how can I improvise?" Figure it out..."

The use of rules is really not an example!The same situation happened to the group below Jiang Qiuqi.It's just that the victims in that group were not as lucky as her, so they had to choose to cry.

The interviewer sitting opposite frowned and stood up, as if he had seen this kind of thing too much, but he became more impatient with crying.He said without any sympathy: "The rules are like this. If you choose to believe and she chooses to be selfish, it's all your own choice. The first step in society is to be responsible for your own choice! Next."

Jiang Qiuqi suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this company.

Interviews are just a part of selecting employees, and intrigue is clearly written into the rules. Isn't this an inducement to make mistakes?

Before coming here, Jiang Qiuqi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He even thought that it might be a test of the candidate's integrity, but who knew it was condoning mistakes?It is also known as being responsible for one's own choices.

What about work after that?How to advance if there is no trust between people?

After waiting for a while, Jiang Qiuqi got the pass card, but she was not happy.

She was suddenly a little overwhelmed.Today's interview has nothing to do with the enthusiasm I met before.Even the state she hates the most: insincerity, mutual suspicion, and drawing fire from the bottom.

Is this still something she wants to forcefully achieve?
