Chapter 38 Recruitment
In the previous life, moba games dominated the PC and mobile terminals, and there were basically no opponents. In Chen Mo's view, the domination of moba games will continue for a long time, perhaps for five to ten years.
As for what game can replace moba as the king of the next decade? neither knows.
If someone really knew the answer, he could start developing it now.
This is still the case in the previous life, not to mention the parallel world where the game design concept is not developed?
In the parallel world, although there are VR games, in Chen Mo's view, the playability of these VR games is not as good as that of moba.
For PC games, the game types most affected by VR games are first-person adventure and FPS, followed by strategy and management, such as 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 type that has never been released before, have the same huge potential as the previous life.
That's why he asserted that PC games will never die, nor will PC Internet cafes.
Of course, he would not explain this kind of thing to others, let alone reveal any game concept.
Zhuo Yao looked at the layout of the experience store and asked, "I suddenly thought of a question, are you alone in your experience store now?"
Chen Mo was stunned: "What do you mean I'm alone? Isn't there so many players?"
Zhuo Yao explained: "No, what I mean is that there are network managers and cashiers in the Internet cafe. Are you alone here? Can you do the job?"
Chen Mo said: "Oh, that's what you mean. You can do it. All of these are self-help for players. As for the daily maintenance and cleaning, there are special people responsible for it. I don't really need to do anything."
Zhuo Yao said, "Then you have to be on the first floor, right? But isn't your studio on the second floor?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, but really, he ignored this question.
Now that the experience store has officially opened for business, it is open every day from ten to eight, and Chen Mo has to keep an eye on it on the first floor. But Chen Mo's studio is on the second floor.
In other words, Chen Mo now has to recruit a front desk.
Zhuo Yao said, "I think you should hire a cashier at the front desk to help you with these things. You are a well-known designer now, so 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. Another day you will come to my Internet cafe 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 state of stable profitability, and Chen Mo is no longer as poor as before, and there is no problem with paying another person's salary.
But what Chen Mo was thinking about was whether to recruit other people besides the front desk?
Many designers have assistants, such as some A-level or S-level designers, who need to design some large-scale VR games. It is definitely not something that can be done by one or two people, and requires a whole team.
Chen Mo is now a little famous. If he recruits assistants now, there are likely to be many designers who have not yet started to come without salary.
However, Chen Mo hesitated.
This world is different from the previous life. In the previous life, the company structure was a combination of powerful players. The more talents there are, the better a company will develop. Popular games require the joint efforts of many parties such as R&D, distribution, and channels. For games, creativity is not everything.
But the parallel world is different. In the parallel world, creativity is everything. 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 game. moba out.
Chen Mo's Thunder Interactive Entertainment is far from a giant like Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment and Zenyi Interactive Entertainment.
Creativity can be said to be the lifeline for him, and there must be no mistakes.
He is now the person who holds Pandora's Box. Once Pandora's Box is opened, it will inevitably lead to drastic changes in the entire game circle. At that time, other game companies will not be able to sit still, and some changes will definitely occur.
What if this shift came sooner? That was definitely not good news for Chen Mo.
Therefore, recruiting assistants is risky. Working together for a long time, Chen Mo's design concept will inevitably affect this assistant. If this assistant is enlightened and becomes independent, it means that Chen Mo has cultivated a competitor for himself.
Chen Mo was a little confused.
However, after thinking about it again and again, he decided to hire an assistant.
After all, he has to develop large-scale games in the future, and it is impossible for him to complete it independently. This step will have to go out sooner or later.
Of course, this assistant must be screened strictly according to his own requirements.
Chen Mo thought about it for a while, and roughly knew what he knew. He turned on the computer and sent a long Weibo.
"Recruitment: One at the front desk of the game experience store, requiring female gender, good facial features, serious work attitude, and a basic understanding of the game industry."
"Recruitment: One 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."
"Applicants need to prepare the following materials: 1. Resume, 2. Appreciation of "Plants vs. Zombies" game, 3. Appreciation of any mobile game on the market, 4. Outlook for the future prospects of the game industry."
"Please send the above information to my designer's mailbox, and those who pass the assessment will reply by email to arrange an interview."
After writing the long Weibo, Chen Mo read it and felt that there was no major problem, so he clicked send.
Chen Mo's Weibo now has nearly 100,000 followers. Basically, there are players and game industry insiders who love "Plants vs. Zombies". After seeing this long Weibo, they are very surprised and forwarded them one after another.
"This is a good opportunity, help."
"I really want to go, but I haven't graduated yet. Help me transfer."
"The designer of "Plants vs. Zombies", you will definitely learn something when you go there. Help."
"I want to go! I'm going to write a game appreciation!"
Soon, Chen Mo's Weibo was continuously 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 the front desk.
Even in a parallel world, it is not so easy to enter the industry. Many people who are not talented enough to make games independently have to be assistants if they want to join the game industry.
Chen Mo is now quite famous, and there are bound to be many people who want to learn how to play games with him.
In the eyes of many people, Chen Mo's first game was a hit game. He is a very talented designer. Following such a designer, he will definitely learn a lot.
