Chapter 77 Brother Lu, you must be joking, right? (710)
After leaving the virtual space of 404 Studio, Lu Zhixing began to tell everyone about the company structure and specific recruitment plans.
"As I said before, 404 Studio will currently be divided into three departments, namely the R&D Department, the Transplantation Department and the Action Department.
"The R&D department is mainly responsible for developing the latest games. Currently, of course, it is "Walking with Darkness".
"I will be in charge of the R&D department. Lu Yixiao is mainly responsible for the plot planning of this game, and will also be exposed to some external business matters;
"Liu Bo is mainly responsible for determining the art style of the game, and is also responsible for some internal project management work.
"Old Zhao, you will be the head of the transplantation department. After the recruitment is completed, you will lead the new employees to transplant "Ordinary Life" to computers and mobile phones. Of course, the operation methods and required configurations must be adjusted accordingly.
.
"Besides that, you also get a little exposure to level design."
Currently, there are only three employees in Studio 404, or more accurately called early partners, all of whom have been clearly arranged by Lu Zhixing.
Everyone was very excited and ready to give it a try.
"Hey, by the way, Brother Lu, didn't you say there is an action department? What does that department do specifically?" Liu Bo asked curiously.
Lu Zhixing said seriously: "Of course I am responsible for various actions in the game.
""Walking with Darkness" is a game with parkour as its core gameplay. If parkour's movements are not standard and players pick on it, how can it work?"
Lu Yixiao asked: "Brother Lu, how many people do you plan to recruit for the action department?"
Lu Zhixing stretched out a finger: "One."
Lu Yixiao was a little surprised: "Just recruit one?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes, just one."
Lu Yixiao was a little confused: "I'm afraid this is not enough, right? Although hiring an experienced motion capture actor can complete most of the actions, there are still some interactive actions, such as the player breaking free after a zombie pounces on it.
The action, no matter how you think about it, requires at least two or three people to complete it, right?"
Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "I only said to recruit one person, but I didn't say that all these actions should be completed by one person. All employees of our 404 Studio can be included in the action department."
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, not understanding what this meant for a while.
Zhao Haoyan suddenly thought of something: "Hey? Brother Lu, what were you talking about when you answered investors' questions at the competition site? What kind of personal parkour will be arranged?"
His memory is relatively average, but he still remembered this sentence sporadically.
Lu Zhixing corrected: "What I'm saying is that as a new studio, we have no experience in making a parkour-like system before. In order to ensure that we can achieve the expected design effect, I will arrange for designers to experience parkour in person."
, to implement this detailed design.”
Hearing this, Liu Bo and Lu Yixiao's faces darkened.
Liu Bo's voice was a bit shaky: "Lu, Brother Lu, this is probably just a joke you made to deceive investors, right? Right, Brother Lu?"
Lu Zhixing gave him an amiable smile: "What do you think?"
…
…
November 19, Sunday.
A taxi stopped on the side of the road.
"Master, we're here, do you want an invoice?" The taxi driver called out to wake up the passengers in the back seat while clocking the meter.
Yao Wenyang yawned and took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay.
I don’t know how long I slept this time, mainly because I worked overtime late yesterday and Saturday and didn’t get enough sleep. Although the location of today’s interview is not very remote, it happens to be on the other side of Jinghai City, so the ride takes a long time.
, fell asleep in the car.
After paying the bill, Yao Wenyang opened the car door and prepared to get out of the car.
However, as soon as he took one leg out, Yao Wenyang looked around and instantly realized that something seemed wrong, so he took his leg back again.
The driver was just about to step on the accelerator and drive away to continue working, but he was stunned when he saw his reaction: "What, did you leave something behind?"
Yao Wenyang shook his head and rubbed his eyes again.
"Things are missing. But the question is... Master, where is this?"
The driver was speechless: "Isn't this the position you gave me? Building 4, Area C, South Gate, Creative Park, No. 9 Xueyuan Road? Get off the car and walk forward, that place is Building 4."
Yao Wenyang scratched his head in confusion: "But what I want to come to is a game company!"
Before, he just gave the address of the recruitment email to the driver and asked him to navigate to it. Now he realized that the situation was a bit complicated. He quickly took out his mobile phone to check the address, and surprisingly found that the location written on it turned out to be "Yufeng Indoor Running."
Cool climbing gym”!
The company name on the map APP has not been corrected yet.
Yao Wenyang was completely confused: "No, no, why is this an indoor parkour gym? It feels like I gave the wrong address..."
The driver was helpless: "Master, why don't you get out of the car first and check? If not, just take another taxi. Anyway, there are a lot of taxis and online ride-hailing services around here. I have to hurry up and take the next order."
Gone."
Yao Wenyang had no choice but to get out of the car in confusion.
Open the recruitment email and double-check with the address above.
That's right, this is it?
But he carefully looked at the building in front of him. The map app said that this was a parkour climbing gym, and in reality, it looked like a parkour climbing gym.
But the problem is, I am here for an interview at Studio 404 today!
There must be something wrong somewhere!
Just when he was confused, another online car-hailing car stopped at the door. A young man who was cleanly dressed and in good shape got out of the car, carrying a small satchel, and seemed to be walking in.
Yao Wenyang noticed that the person's backpack seemed to have the words "XX Rock Climbing Club" written on it.
So he hurried forward and said, "Hello, could you please give me some directions?"
The other party stopped and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, buddy, it's my first time here too. I'm here for an interview."
"Oh?" Yao Wenyang asked quickly: "Are you also here for an interview with planning? Or art?"
The other party's mouth opened slightly: "Brother, what are you talking about? Look at my outfit and equipment, and you know that I am a coach."
He patted his shoulder bag and said, "I teach rock climbing and parkour, are you interested? If you want to learn, come and sign up for a class with me and I'll give you a 20% discount on the price."
Yao Wenyang froze: "Parkour...rock climbing...coach? Is this really a parkour and rock climbing gym?"
The other party shook his head: "I don't know what kind of place this is. A headhunter introduced me to it, so I came here. However, apart from parkour climbing gyms, there should be no place that recruits parkour climbing instructors, right?"
Yao Wenyang sighed silently, hey, we really came to the wrong place!
He knew that 404 Studio was a start-up studio and might be a little irregular, but who would have thought that even the company address in the recruitment email could be written crookedly?
"Okay, buddy, thank you." Yao Wenyang said and walked back, then took out his phone, preparing to make a call to confirm.
As a result, before he had even taken two steps, he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Huh? Wait. Man, something doesn't seem right."
When Yao Wenyang turned around, he found that the coach who had originally planned to go in was back, and he also had the same puzzled expression on his face.
"The big sign hanging above says '404 Game Studio'? Why did this parkour climbing gym get such a name?"
Obviously, this coach was as confused as Yao Wenyang.
Yao Wenyang took two steps forward and took a closer look. There was actually a "404 Game Studio" sign hanging next to it. He was far away before and didn't notice it.
"this……"
The two looked at each other, both standing there in confusion.
After a long silence, Yao Wenyang said: "I think either this company has a problem, or we two have a problem.
"How about we go in and ask?"
The coach nodded: "Let's go."
The two adjusted their mentality and walked into the main entrance together.
The front desk of the parkour climbing gym has now become the front desk of the studio. The newly recruited front desk girl took the resume from the two people and confirmed her identity.
"Yao Wenyang and Zhong Haibin, right? According to the appointment time, Mr. Zhong Haibin will be interviewed first. Mr. Yao, you are a little early. You can sit down for a while and take a rest. Or you can walk around the company if you want." Girl.
Her voice is sweet and gentle, and her professional qualities are quite good.
Yao Wenyang was very curious: "Huh? Our company really recruits game designers and parkour coaches at the same time?"
The girl at the front desk nodded: "Yes."
Yao Wenyang was puzzled: "It's strange. Although game companies have a need for motion capture, it's enough to hire a professional motion capture athlete. Why do they need a coach?"
The girl at the front desk smiled and said, "Mr. Lu personally decides on the recruitment, so I don't know much about it either."
