Recruitment is in steady progress.
It's early May, and there are still a lot of people looking for jobs online.
Taking advantage of the wide popularity of "Dark Forest", Meng Shu received a large number of resumes and inquiries in just three days.
As a result, he had to temporarily give up the final chapter he was developing and began to sift through these resumes.
Some of them even took the initiative to call him to make an appointment for an interview.
But soon, after screening, he selected some more suitable candidates and sent them notifications.
It turned out that there were still some people in this group who had faked their resumes and boasted too much.
For example, a 28-year-old man said that he had nearly 6 years of work experience, and his portfolio looked pretty good, but he failed in on-site practice. He couldn't even draw the simplest pictures well, and the perspective relationship was wrong. I don't know. It was a matter of whether the practical operation was stressful, but in short, he was not admitted.
Or for example, a 23-year-old girl started working in 21 and has 3 years of work experience in 22?
After asking, I found out that the customer service job that I did during my college internship was also included.
There are also people who ask for high prices and ask for a monthly salary of 2.5 W. They seem to be very capable. When asked about the reason for leaving their jobs, they quarreled with their supervisors...
There are also complaints that Party A makes random demands without understanding anything and then leaves unhappy.
In short, the reasons are varied.
Although the art positions he recruits are based on professional and technical levels, it does not mean that he will recruit people who leave easily or are difficult to get along with.
So a large number of job applicants were screened.
But fortunately, after about a week, Meng Shu still recruited the right person.
3D modeler, Qiu Yuan, male, 28 years old.
I have 6 years of work experience. I worked in an e-commerce company for the first 2 years, so some of my works are various products. In the last 4 years, I focused on game character modeling. I have had characters in ancient style, science fiction style, mechanical style, etc., and The design is almost the same as the original painting, and the technology can be said to be quite powerful!
Scene designer, Xia Nianzhen, female, 24 years old.
2 years of work experience. I worked in a mobile game company right after graduating from university and improved my skills. I have never skipped a job. I am very proficient in using various software. His works have various styles, but they are limited by mobile game problems and the quality is not high. , but it can be seen that there is still a certain level, but the platform limits her.
Animator Xu Hong, male, 29 years old.
6 years of work experience, very good at correcting body movements and expressions produced by motion capture equipment. He has worked for a well-known domestic game company and also participated in action guidance. With this experience, he worked on the well-known RPG game "Magic Knight" a few years ago. 》The actions of the first BOSS Colossus Patronus were designed by him, which brought players a good combat experience.
Finally, there is Finance Sister Mei, who is 39 years old and has rich experience. There is not much to say about this.
Due to the small scale of the company and the tight time schedule, these are the only four people we need to recruit at the moment, and the others are not needed yet.
When this was completed, Meng Shu directly removed the recruitment advertisement.
Now, with three weeks to go until one month, he has to start developing VR games immediately!
So, he called the three new employees together for a brief meeting, explained some processes of VR games, and assigned their respective tasks.
At this time, Meng Shu was sitting at the head of the small conference room, explaining the concept design PPT of "Blackjack" on his laptop.
"First of all, our game scene is not big. It is almost the size of a small dark room. You can refer to our conference room. We don't need other unnecessary items. It only needs to be consistent with the conceptual scene on the PPT. Do you understand? Nian Zhen?"
Meng Shu raised his head and looked at Xia Nianzhen.
This girl, who was the same age as him, was concentrating on taking notes. With her long, straight black round eyes, she looked particularly quiet and elegant. After hearing the question, she was stunned for a moment and immediately nodded in response.
"I understand, the PPT is very clear. I can do it, Mr. Meng, and I will try my best to restore it!"
Meng Shu nodded, turned to the next page and continued to explain.
"Qiu Yuan, your workload is relatively large. This is a VR game, and there are many items and props in it. Except that the protagonist controlled by the player only needs one pair of hands, everything else is available, so you will have a harder time later. .”
Hearing this, Qiu Yuan nodded seriously.
At the age of 28, he is no longer what he was when he first came out of the society. Working overtime is commonplace in his industry, and he has no objection to it.
And the moment he saw the PPT, he knew what he should do.
At the same time, I have to admire the boss in front of him who is 4 years younger than him. He actually created more than 100 pages of conceptual design by himself.
It also includes character design, scene design, plot design, gameplay design, style design, prop design and multi-angle display of items, etc.
He is indeed the person who can make "Dark Forest"!
It’s like one person is a team!
"Don't worry, Mr. Meng. It's a bit too much, but it's not difficult. There is already a conceptual design in front of me, and I will make it."
"That's fine, please."
Meng Shu flipped through a few more pages and came to the character actions.
"Our company has purchased the best motion capture equipment currently on the market and has set aside a room as a shooting location. However, because the company is relatively small and there are only a few of you employees, I hope that when we need action shooting in the future, You can help on the spot. Xu Hong will guide you on this."
Then, he looked at Xu Hong.
"Xu Hong, as I said, this game only requires the movements of three people, and they are all small movements. There are no large swings, and even face models are not needed."
Xu Hong looked at the projection screen and nodded.
"I understand Mr. Meng, but the face of the character named Lucas is shown on the PPT. Should we make a mask to block it later?"
Meng Shu glanced at the PPT and smiled.
In the original game, this perverted murderer Lucas can be said to have an evil look on his face.
In the game, players can also see his unbeatable appearance through the TV.
However, the face model of the original game is a foreigner, and the system did not give him this material.
If it were to be the same as before, then we would need to find a face model actor and then replace it with Lucas's face.
However, due to time constraints, Meng Shu thought for a long time and decided to cancel the face model and let Lucas appear in the form of a mask.
After all, players in this world don't know "Resident Evil 7", nor the plot, nor how much this Lucas deserves.
Instead of just putting him out there without any introduction and forcing players to accept the setting, it would be better and simpler to just put on a mask and say he is a murderer.
"Yes, just put a mask on him. But the mask needs to be designed. I will draw a design draft for Qiu Yuan later."
The two nodded, trying to figure it out.
Meng Shu flipped through the PPT and found that everything that needed to be said was almost covered, so he summarized and emphasized at the end.
"The company has just been established and is not yet mature in all aspects. I hope everyone can understand."
"But I won't fill you with chicken soup or draw a big pie. Your salary, commissions and benefits are as stated in the contract, and they will not be less. But if you want to get more on this basis, No problem. In a word, those who can get it will get it by their own abilities."
"So, if you come, let it be. You do the work, I will pay you, everyone can be happy and do a good job in this VR project."
"Maybe some of you will doubt whether VR games can be made, or whether they can be done well. After all, big foreign companies can't make them well. Can our newly established small company do it?"
"Here, I can tell you that it can! As long as everyone does their job well, works together and works seriously, the results will definitely be achieved!"
"When VR games come out, the sense of accomplishment recognized by players will not only belong to me, but to everyone!"
“So, work hard, unite, and complete this project together, and let the market witness the capabilities of our small team!”
"OK!?"
The three of them looked at each other, a little at a loss, but looking at the confident smile of the young boss in front of them, as if they were under control, their expressions immediately became serious.
So they nodded together and spoke in unison.
"good!"
