340.Can you accept working overtime?(1/2)
"If you devote yourself fully, even if your hands are disabled, you should be able to finish the game in a week. If you can't finish the game, then work overtime." Chen Ya said, "The overtime standard is three times the salary as I just said."
There was another discussion below, and the girl's expression was obviously a little excited and she said, "What you mean, I can understand, is that you want us to play games at work?"
"I told you, you have nothing else to do this week, just complete "Legend of the Wild"." Chen Ya said, "Of course you have to do it during working hours, otherwise you won't be able to complete the game with platinum gold."
The girl sat down with a satisfied expression, and someone next to her raised her hand.
"The Legend of Zelda Wilderness is a console game, right? If we don't have a console..."
Chen Ya immediately replied, "The company has more than 20 public n hosts, which are enough for you."
Another person stood up and asked loudly, "Can we keep the archives made on the public host?"
This question was relatively unserious, and everyone burst into brief laughter.
"Yes, but you need to import it to your own host. Public hosts cannot be taken away, and damage must be compensated."
At this time, next to Zhao Yuanhai, a girl sitting upright with a stern expression raised her hand.
Chen Ya motioned for her to speak.
"Excuse me, what is the meaning of playing "The Legend of Zelda Wilderness"?"
Chen Ya glanced at the girl and didn't answer. He first asked, "Which group are you in?"
"I'm in the character design team, responsible for character background settings and some action design." The girl said, "I know I don't have to play this game, but I'm just curious."
Zhao Yuanhai looked at this girl with a complicated expression. He felt that this girl had a strong personality.
Chen Ya was calm and said
"When making any game, or any cultural and creative entertainment work, learning advanced works is the first priority. Playing "The Legend of Zelda" is the first step in learning."
Under the surprised gazes of others, the girl continued to ask, "But creation needs to be innovative. If you use other people's works as teaching materials, won't your thinking be constrained?"
Chen Ya's expression remained unchanged and he continued to speak patiently.
"Innovation is very important, but inheritance is also very important. Innovation must be based on full research of existing results. If there is no former, it may not be innovation, but innovation and reinvention of the wheel."
Seeing that the girl's expression was still confused, Chen Ya continued:
"We have been preparing for "Prjet" for a long time in the early stage. The veteran employees' understanding of the open world is far better than yours. If you have never played "Breath of the Wild", you will not understand the concepts they talk about, and you will not even be able to build it.
To have an effective dialogue, that’s why I stipulate that you must achieve platinum clearance.
"You have all written papers, and you should know that if the plagiarism check rate of the paper is too high, it will not work; but if the plagiarism check rate of the paper is too low, it will not work. The low plagiarism check rate shows that during the writing process of this paper, there is a lack of understanding of the papers of predecessors in the same field.
Study and cite, and such papers have no reference value.
"The same is true for games. Completely copying other games is plagiarism. Without any reference or learning, you are destined to fail. The successful works of previous generations are the optimal solution or even the only solution in dealing with some problems. Without a deep understanding
This makes it impossible to produce good works."
After saying that, he scanned the audience and asked, "Any more questions?"
No one spoke anymore, but Zhao Yuanhai secretly looked at the girl and found that her expression was still unruly.
Zhao Yuanhai secretly thought that only fresh graduates who dared to face the big boss with this attitude would do so.
No one raised their hands to ask questions, so Chen Ya said, "Okay, since there are no more questions, let me talk about the probation period."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sit up straighter.
"We do not have a three-month probation period as is customary in the industry. We only have one criterion for passing the probation period. As long as you can pass the exam, you can end the probation period at any time."
Hearing these words, everyone had confused looks on their faces, and some were even a little worried.
The same logic as what the big boss said just now, the three-month trial period commonly used by major manufacturers is so popular because it is reasonable and easy to use.
If you don't follow the rules and follow the three-month probation period, although it sounds like the probation period has been shortened, there may be something hidden behind it.
Chen Ya continued, "Different groups have different probation period exams. Let's talk about them separately. As mentioned just now, for those who need platinum to clear "Legend of the Wild", the exam content is also related to "Legend of the Wild". We will give the test questions now.
Send it in and you can hand it in at any time. As long as the score is above 70 points, you will pass the trial."
While he was talking, Luan Qingying stood up and handed out a stack of test papers.
The boy who had already reached platinum level in "The Legend of Zelda Wilderness" looked particularly excited. He seemed to be quite eager to "hand in the test on the spot and pass the trial period".
It didn’t take long for him to platinum pass the game. He knew all the 900 haha positions by heart. Every temple knew at least one way to pass the game. As long as it was about the game’s test questions, he was confident to get full marks.
But after receiving the collected papers and seeing the test questions, his expression froze.
Zhao Yuanhai was hired as a member of the human resources department and did not receive the test paper, but the buddy next to him did. He curiously leaned over and took a look at the test paper.
The first thing that caught my eye was this test question
"In "The Legend of Zelda Wilderness", the protagonist's exploration is completely free, but every stage goal of the protagonist is strictly planned. How does the game guide players to find their goals? Please
A brief overview.”
"The design of open world games usually struggles with the question of whether to design a fast travel function. "The Legend of Zelda Wilderness" has designed a fast travel function that can quickly travel to the temples and towers that have been explored. Please try
When doing analysis, why should we design such a function? What are the benefits of such a design?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The creator of "The Legend of Zelda Wilderness" once shared his game creation ideas, which mentioned the 'triangle rule'. The 'triangle rule' refers to the game map
When the terrain forms ups and downs, the player, the player's goal, and the hidden new motivation form a triangle. The working process of the 'Triangle Rule' is that the player climbs the terrain in order to achieve the goal. During the climbing process, the hidden goal gradually appears, so the player is new.
attract new goals and create new motivations.
Based on the above materials, design a game process that uses the ‘triangle rule’, and there are no restrictions on game themes, styles, etc.”
...Contrary to the unserious theme of "playing games at work", the trial period test papers were unexpectedly very serious and hard-core.
After Zhao Yuanhai read it, he secretly wiped his sweat.
Platinum clearance of a game is already very difficult, but I didn’t expect that I would have to take such a test after completing the game.
Fortunately, he was not applying for the game design department, so he couldn't solve this kind of problem.
The otaku guy who had just completed the platinum level obviously became sad when he got the test paper. The questions he imagined were different from these questions.
It seems that he has to play this game again.
After everyone received the test papers, Chen Ya continued, "Next is the essay group and plot group."
Zhao Yuanhai felt the handsome boy next to him straighten up. It was obvious that he was from the writing and plot team.
"The task of the plot team is to read through all fairy tales and fables, and to analyze the creative techniques, no less than 50,000 words." Chen Ya said, "The content of your exam is five fairy tales or fables for each person."
When the people below were full of questions, he added, "The game we are making has a self-contained world view, with a total of more than a dozen unique geographical features, hydrological features, and special animals and plants."
After a pause, he continued, "The task of the writing team is to learn the existing world view of "Prijet". Each person independently creates 5 kinds of virtual animals and plants, which requires detailed descriptions of appearance characteristics and background stories."
…
…
At the end of the morning, the meeting finally came to an end.
After walking out of the conference room, Zhao Yuanhai still felt dizzy.
Everything just said was too complicated and contained too much information.
The boss named Chen assigned tasks to each different department and group.
Most of these tasks are basically related to study, and there are also many weird tasks such as "playing games while working".
But he was not envious at all. He also read the questions in "Legends of the Wild" and couldn't answer any of them.
Fortunately, the content of his own work is relatively normal. He is relatively old and cannot stand the trouble.
One thing that Zhao Yuanhai pays more attention to is that in ordinary small companies, human resources are outsourced.
When it comes to manpower, things are numerous and complicated. Cultivating a professional team yourself is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to see results.
This start-up company made a pretense of recruiting its own manpower from the very beginning. Either the boss was very ambitious, or the capital behind it was very strong.
He rolled his eyes, approached the handsome boy sitting next to him just now, and asked
"Hey, hello, are you from the literary team or the plot team?"
The boy looked back at him and politely replied, "I'm from the literary group."
"Hello, hello, I'm from the human resources department, and my name is Zhao Yuanhai." Zhao Yuanhai took the initiative to extend his hand and shake it.
"Brother, please pay more attention to me. My name is Xu Zheqing." The boy said with a smile.
"Of course, everyone has to take care of you." Zhao Yuanhai said, "Which school did you graduate from?"
Xu Zheqing mentioned a second-tier college, and Zhao Yuanhai said, "Why not go to a big factory?"
"To go to a big factory, you have to have the strength." Xu Zheqing smiled bitterly, "I missed the spring recruitment, and it is difficult to go to a big factory for social recruitment. The salary of this company seems to be good, so I thought of coming here first and looking for a job.
Up."
Zhao Yuanhai pondered and nodded, and said, "There is a shortage of everything now, not even college students. It seems to me that the people in this company are relatively young, and they should be in a similar situation to you."
Xu Zheqing nodded and said, "That girl, the girl who just asked the question, she is from the same school as me, and she also missed the spring recruitment. I think most people are similar."
After saying that, Xu Zheqing turned around and asked, "You asked me why I didn't go to Dachang, why did you come here?"
Zhao Yuanhai said, "I was hired by a big factory. A big factory optimizes every year. The leader of our department is disgusting. I accidentally offended someone. I'm not 35 years old yet, so I might as well hide myself."
