Chapter 81: Interviews
"Players have a heartfelt love for this game, and they feel the sincerity I convey to them in the game, so they willingly pay to support me, hoping that I can make more and better games in the future. In this regard, I always remember the love of players, and I dare not slack off at any time, and I will definitely develop more fun games to repay everyone. ”
In the experience store, Wen Lingwei read aloud Chen Mo's interview press release.
Su Jinyu: "Spicy eyes! I really don't have an eye to see. ”
Jia Peng: "Store manager, are you really not going to be killed by players like this?" ”
Wen Lingwei said: "I advise you to go back to school these days to avoid the limelight, so as not to be affected." ”
Chen Mo was speechless: "What's wrong, what's wrong, isn't it very well written?" Look, every word of this is the true feelings of the players towards me. ”
Su Jinyu: "Store manager, are you really not afraid of being struck by lightning when you say this......?"
Jia Peng said: "Store manager, your store is equipped with a lightning rod, right?" ”
Chen Mo was speechless: "Okay, everyone is almost done, there is an interview today, don't scare away the students who came to the interview." ”
Jia Peng asked, "Interview?" Are you looking for new people? ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, I may have to recruit a plot and a value." Otherwise, in the future, only me and Goldfish will be too busy to make large-scale games. ”
Wen Lingwei said: "Tsk, that means there will be another cute girl soon, right?" ”
"Really!" Jia Peng also came to the spirit.
Chen Mo was speechless: "What do you think about all day?" It's a man. ”
Wen Lingwei said: "Male? What did the man do, boom away, boom away. ”
Chen Mo: "...... Do you want to turn my experience store into a daughter country? ”
Wen Lingwei rolled her eyes: "Don't tell me you don't think so." ”
Chen Mo: "...... Forget it, I won't talk to you, that buddy should be almost there. ”
It didn't take long for Zheng Hongxi to arrive.
He was a very young man, tall and thin, and he looked quite quiet and polite. Chen Mo shook hands with him and led him to the conference room.
Wen Lingwei said to Su Jinyu: "Well, I changed my mind, this little handsome guy is not bad." ”
Su Jinyu was speechless: "You are a little disciplined, okay!" Who to recruit depends on whether it can meet the requirements of the store manager! ”
in the conference room.
Chen Mo poured a glass of water for Zheng Hongxi: "This is not a big company, the interview is just a casual chat, don't be nervous." ”
Zheng Hongxi nodded: "Well, don't be nervous." But I'm surprised, you're much younger than I thought you were. ”
Chen Mo smiled: "It's been more than a year since I graduated from college. ”
Zheng Hongxi said: "Then you will be one class earlier than me, and I graduated less than a year ago." ”
Zheng Hongxi's resume, Chen Mo has read it before.
Zheng Hongxi, 24 years old this year, has just graduated from a key university in the magic capital, majoring in literature. After graduating, I worked in a media company in Modu for a while, but I quit because I didn't like the job and wanted to change careers, but I haven't decided yet.
There are some personal works, Chen Mo roughly looked at them, mainly short and medium stories, there are all kinds of fanfiction, in addition to Western fantasy, he also writes about Xianxia, martial arts, and oriental fantasy themes.
The work is not particularly outstanding, but the basic writing and plot conception are qualified, and the most important thing is that no matter what subject matter is written, there is basically no sense of disobedience, which makes Chen Mo more satisfied.
Chen Mo asked, "Have you thought about what to do next?" ”
Zheng Hongxi said: "I didn't think too much about it. Personally, I don't like the kind of interpersonal relationships in traditional work, and I used to think about writing online articles full-time, but my current level is not very good, and it is likely that my life is not guaranteed, and the pressure from my family will be greater. ”
Chen Mo asked, "Have you considered making a game?" ”
Zheng Hongxi said: "I have considered it. However, relatively speaking, the current domestic games do not pay much attention to the plot, and my interest is mainly in the plot. ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, in this way, I have prepared a test question, you can write it casually." ”
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he took out a printed test question.
Zheng Hongxi took it and looked at it, there were not many test questions, there were only five questions in total.
The first question is to design a world background and two classes for a Xianxia massively multiplayer role-playing game (MMORPG), and briefly introduce the characteristics of the classes.
The second question is to write the names and descriptions of five props for a Three Kingdoms-themed strategy game, requiring the props to be of the same type and of quality from low to high.
The third question is a brief description of the relationship between Draenor and Azeroth based on the content of the "Azeroth Universe".
The fourth question is to choose a small event in the "Azeroth Universe" and simply write a quest line. There is no need for a specific task text, just a brief description.
The fifth question is to write a complete quest text, which is what the NPC says to the player. Here's a synopsis: "Fordin, please retrieve the hammer of Tyran. The character design follows the relevant content in the Azeroth Universe. It can also be changed, but you need to rewrite the character settings.
Chen Mo said: "This is not in a hurry, just write slowly, an hour is definitely enough." ”
Zheng Hongxi nodded: "Well, that's enough." ”
Chen Mo turned around and went out: "Call me when it's written." ”
Chen Mo walked out of the conference room, and everyone asked in a low voice, "How is it, store manager?" ”
Chen Mo said: "It feels okay. He was given a written test question, and if he answered the written test questions correctly, it would be OK. ”
Su Jinyu asked, "Huh?" What a written test question? ”
"Are you going to do it too? I'm afraid to hit you. Chen Mo said.
Wen Lingwei said: "After all, goldfish is a scholar, and you look down on people too much." ”
Chen Mo said: "Okay, then you can also show you, and if you want to do it, you can do it." ”
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he found the test question on Su Jinyu's computer.
Everyone read the entire test paper and dispersed silently.
Su Jinyu looked at Chen Mo a little speechlessly: "Store manager, what is this?" Too hard, right? The first and second questions can still be made up, what are the following? ”
Chen Mo said: "You don't pay attention to these, of course you find it difficult." Okay, let's go back to our own homes and find our own mothers, which means that you are not suitable for the job of a plot designer. ”
Wen Lingwei said: "Well, I am silent for three seconds for this plot. ”
Su Jinyu said: "Don't be so pessimistic, maybe he can answer?" ”
In fact, Chen Mo's question is relatively simple, it is nothing more than a test of his basic qualities as a plot designer.
Things like item names, item descriptions, world views, classes, quest lines, and quest texts are all basic tasks of a story designer.
As a story designer, the first ability is to package a game well, so that players can feel that this is a complete and self-consistent world, at least not to make players feel disobedient and affect the game experience.
As for the advanced ability, it is necessary to coordinate the relationship between the plot and the setting, so that the world view can be integrated with the gameplay, and even give players some touches through some special story tasks.
For Chen Mo, now it is enough for him to only ask Zheng Hongxi to reach the first point. As for the follow-up, it can be cultivated slowly.
