Restart the Gaming Era

Biquge www.xbiquge.tw, the fastest update to restart the game era!

new week.

In the morning, everyone is here.

It is not in the development stage yet, just read the online reviews of the "Working Dog Survival Manual", and then do some simple optimization work.

Reading comments is one thing, which makes people happy on the whole, but sometimes it is quite disturbing.

For many krypton gold game designers, they will definitely not read the comments. If they want to read them, they will only listen to the praise of those krypton gold players in the fan group.

Why?

Because the comments outside are basically scolding, and it's not disturbing enough to read.

There is also a lot of optimization work.

For some large teams, the project is the busiest before it goes live, and even if there are a lot of content that needs to be modified after the project goes live, it will be much more leisurely.

Because the launch deadline of a large team is often very stuck, in order to go online smoothly, they must work crazy overtime. After it goes online, although there are still a lot of content to be changed, but after all, there are many people, you can share some, I can share some, and the changes can be completed on schedule.

But the independent game team is different. There is no clear deadline during development, and there is not enough manpower. The game is almost finished before it is launched. But after it is installed, there will definitely be various problems, and players will put forward various opinions, etc. There are a lot of things to be changed, and they are very urgent.

Of course you are in a hurry, the players are all playing!

However, indie game teams are usually small in number, and often when the game is launched, various problems and bugs are found out by players, and they have to work overtime to fix them.

"Working Dog Survival Manual" does not have so many bugs, but after all, there are only two programs in total, and Zhou Sen and Brother Dahui are not gods, so there are inevitably some mistakes. So at this stage, I am busy doing follow-up optimization work.

As for Zhong Ming, he was browsing the recruitment website, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Jiang Wanna glanced at it: "Are we planning to recruit?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "It's still under consideration. But at this point in time, I'm afraid we won't be able to recruit any suitable ones, so we just look ahead."

Now it is November, if you want to recruit people, it is best to wait until the next year.

Because most of the more powerful employees are waiting to change jobs after receiving the year-end bonus, at this time, they have lost too much.

The thought of recruiting people gave Zhong Ming a headache.

If you don't want to interview everyone one by one, it's best to find an HR, but the problem is that a good HR works in a large company and generally won't jump to a small company.

It is also understandable that in the HR industry, the bigger the company, the bigger the room for development. For many HRs who can become political commissars in giant companies, it is called the pinnacle of life.

If you go to a small company, you may only recruit a few people every year and you will be done. At other times, you will paddle. Of course, competent HR is not willing to come.

If it is an ordinary HR, lack of experience, lack of qualifications, and inaccuracy in judging people, letting these HRs be in charge of recruiting may not be able to find talents that satisfy Zhong Ming, and maybe they will have to go to the battle by themselves in the end, the result is still the same. HR might as well not look for it.

Zhong Ming said with emotion: "Why don't we dig a few more from the original project? It's the most reliable one who knows the basics, and saves the interview process. You can call Zhang Xiaowen to do chores."

Brother Dahui Yile: "Are you still playing with Lao Xie's idea? When the time comes, the "Learning Sea Boundless" project will be hollowed out. You see, Director Bai will come to you with a knife in his hand."

"Hey, you can't say that. Brilliant Wing Entertainment has a lot of talents, so what if one or two are poached away."

After Zhong Ming thought about it, it would be safer to recruit people until the end of the year.

The main thing is that it’s not impossible to recruit now, but if you can’t recruit suitable ones, then your work will be in vain, and the original research and development progress will also be delayed.

From November to February, I just took the time to make another game. After finishing it, I took a break, changed the office location, and recruited people. The next stage of development of Weiguang Studio can be logical.

After all, the number of recruits this time will certainly not be small, and the number of people in the entire studio may reach a dozen or so. It must be outrageous that a dozen or so people are all crowded in the living room.

Therefore, Zhong Ming considered making another game.

Of course, considering the current number of people in the studio, it is still an independent game if we make an estimate.

I flipped through Weibo, and looked at some chat groups.

Suddenly, Zhong Ming saw a piece of news and became interested.

Global Game Art Concept Competition!

English abbreviation, GGAC, first prize of professional group, 1.8 million prize money! The second and third prizes are 500,000 and 200,000 bonuses respectively!

The judges are all the chief designers and chief artists of some big companies, all of whom are relatively well-known people in the industry in this world, and the titles are all "senior designers", "co-founders", "artists", and "art directors". Category.

There are also many partners in this competition, including well-known game companies, art schools of some famous universities, and even calligraphy associations and painting associations.

Moreover, it is said that it is a global game art concept competition, but it is actually mainly aimed at the Chinese cultural circle.

Although there are also western designers and artists in the jury, there are only one or two people. It is called the Global Game Art Competition, mainly because it sounds better.

As for the benefits after winning the award, there are many.

First of all, the bonus, 1.8 million is not too much, but for Zhong Ming and his studio, that is a lot of extra money, why not earn it?

Followed by fame and word of mouth. This competition is not a pheasant competition. Both the judges and the partners are well-known. Being able to win an award in such a competition may not have much exposure among the players, but it must have a lot of exposure among industry insiders!

Finally, there is the network.

The game industry is a relatively closed industry. Outsiders don't know much about people in this industry, and they may only know about some particularly big-name game companies. But people inside the game circle still pay more attention to these.

For example, if Zhong Ming wants to find an art master, just relying on bragging about how good he is is not good, and people can't verify it; If they are photographed, it is enough to prove that their studio is strong and has a bright future!

What's more, there are many people in the industry as judges in this competition, and there are many talents Zhong Ming admires. If you can take this opportunity to get to know a few, not to mention digging now, at least add a friend, and talk about cooperation in the future, it will be much more convenient.

Zhong Ming clicked on the details page of the contest and continued to read.

Jiang Wanna tilted her head: "Huh? Isn't this GGAC?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, I plan to participate."

"Uh... are you sure? If I remember correctly, the audition ends tomorrow..."

Zhong Ming was taken aback: "Huh?"

He flipped down the page of the competition, and turned to the column of competition promotion and selection rules.

"Submission for audition: September 1st - November 15th"

"Participants need to submit the concept draft or demo of the work to the entry mailbox before November 13, and the works that provide the demo will be selected first. Those who fail to provide the demo and only provide the concept draft need to rush to the competition on the 14th and 15th. On-site, on-site judges ask questions, and the promoted works enter the next round."

Zhong Ming looked at the calendar.

"... Isn't it already the 12th today???" Zhong Ming looked confused.

Jiang Wanna nodded: "Yes, so strictly speaking, you still have one and a half days to produce the design concept draft, and you still need to fly to the competition site on Wednesday."

Zhong Ming: "..."

Jiang Wanna was a little strange: "Uh, this competition has actually been held since September, haven't you seen it... I thought you were not interested in this kind of competition at all."

Zhong Ming: "Stop talking..."
