Chapter 38: Recruitment
In the previous life, moba games dominated the PC and mobile terminals, and basically no opponents were visible, in Chen Mo's opinion, the domination of moba games will continue for a long time, maybe for five to ten years.
As for what game can replace MOBA as the king of the next decade? No one knows.
If anyone really knows the answer, then they can start working on it now.
This was still the case in previous lives, not to mention parallel worlds where game design concepts were underdeveloped?
In the parallel world, although there are VR games, in Chen Mo's opinion, the playability of these VR games is not as good as moba.
For PC games, the most impacted genres by VR games are first-person adventure and FPS, followed by strategy and management, like casual games and mobile games, which are hardly affected by VR games.
In Chen Mo's view, MOBA games in the parallel world, as a game genre that has never been released, have the same huge potential as in the previous life.
That's why he asserted that PC games will never die out, and PC Internet cafes will not be extinct.
Of course, he won't explain this kind of thing to others, let alone reveal any game philosophy.
Zhuo Yao looked at the layout of the experience store and asked, "I suddenly thought of a question, in your experience store, are you alone now?" ”
Chen Mo was stunned: "What do you mean I'm alone?" Isn't that so many players? ”
Zhuo Yao explained: "No, I mean to say that there is a network manager and a cashier in the Internet café, and you are alone here?" Can you do the job? ”
Chen Mo said: "Oh, that's what you mean." I can do it, these are all player self-help on the machine, as for daily maintenance and cleaning, there are special people in charge, I don't actually have to do anything. ”
Zhuo Yao said: "Then you have to keep an eye on the first floor, right?" But isn't your studio on the second floor? ”
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, really, he ignored this question.
Now that the experience store has officially opened for business, it is open every day from ten to eight in the morning, and Chen Mo has to stare at it on the first floor. But Chen Mo's studio is on the second floor.
In other words, Chen Mo has to recruit a front desk now.
Zhuo Yao said: "I think you should hire a cashier at the front desk to help you with these things, you are also a well-known designer now, you can't do everything yourself, right?" ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense......"
Zhuo Yao stood up: "Okay, I have to go back, you can also come to my Internet café another day to sit, they are all neighbors, let's move around more." ”
"No problem." Chen Mo stood up and sent her out.
After sending Zhuo Yao away, Chen Mo began to think about recruiting a front desk.
"Plants vs. Zombies" has entered a stable state of profitability, and Chen Mo is no longer as poor as before, and there is no problem at all in paying another person's salary.
However, Chen Mo considered whether to recruit anyone other than the front desk?
Many designers have assistants, like some A-level or S-level designers, who need to design some large-scale VR games, which are definitely not done by one or two people, and require a whole team.
Chen Mo is also a little famous now, if he recruits assistants now, it is likely that there will be many designers who have not started without a salary.
However, Chen Mo was a little hesitant.
This world is different from previous lives. In the previous life, the company structure was a strong alliance, the more talents, the better a company will develop, and popular games require the joint efforts of R&D, distribution, channels, etc., for games, creativity is not everything.
But the parallel world is different, creativity is everything in the parallel world, Chen Mo has no doubt that if an A-level designer gets the idea of a moba game and gives him a year, he can develop a decent moba.
Chen Mo's Thunder Mutual Entertainment is far from being a giant like Imperial Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment, creativity can be said to be a lifeline for him, and there must be no mistakes.
He is now the one who holds Pandora's box, once Pandora's box is opened, it will inevitably cause drastic changes in the entire game circle, and other game companies will not be able to sit idly by at that time, and some changes will definitely occur.
What if this shift comes sooner? That was by no means good news for Chen Mo.
So, hiring helpers is risky. Working together for a long time, Chen Mo's design concept will inevitably affect this assistant, if this assistant is enlightened and stands on his own, it is equivalent to cultivating a competitor for Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was a little entangled.
However, after much consideration, he decided to hire an assistant.
After all, he will have to develop large-scale games in the future, and it is impossible to complete it independently, and this step will have to go out sooner or later.
Of course, this assistant must be screened strictly according to his own requirements, and it is better not to do it than to make a mistake.
Chen Mo thought about it for a while, roughly knew it, turned on the computer and posted a long Weibo.
"Recruitment: A person at the front desk of the game experience store, who is required to be female, with good facial features, serious work attitude, and a basic understanding of the game industry."
"Recruitment: A game designer assistant, gender is not limited, it is required to have a full understanding of the game industry, professionalism, and a serious work attitude."
"Candidates need to prepare the following materials: 1. Resume, 2. Appreciation of the game "Plants vs. Zombies", 3. Appreciation of any mobile game on the market, 4. Prospects for the future prospects of the game industry."
"Please send the above information to my designer's mailbox, and the examiner will reply by email to arrange an interview."
After writing a long Weibo, Chen Mo read it, felt that there was no big problem, and clicked send.
Chen Mo's Weibo now has nearly 100,000 followers, and these are basically players and game insiders who love "Plants vs. Zombies".
"This is a good opportunity, help."
"I really want to go, but I haven't graduated yet, help me."
"The designer of "Plants vs. Zombies", hey, I will definitely learn something if I go, and I will help you."
"I want to go! I'm going to write a game appreciation! ”
Soon, Chen Mo's Weibo was constantly forwarded, and many people showed their intention to come.
Of course, there are many people who want to be assistants, and very few want to be front desks.
Even in a parallel world, it is not so easy to enter the industry, and many people who are not talented enough to make games on their own have the only way to join the game industry as assistants.
Chen Mo is now a little famous, and there will definitely be no shortage of people who want to learn to make games with him.
In the eyes of many people, Chen Mo's first game was a hit, and he is a very talented designer, and he will definitely learn a lot from such a designer.
