This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...

Hearing Lin Yao mention the words game hardware and console,

Bao Liangzhe subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Because this is not an area he is familiar with.

Although he is not unfamiliar with games, he has only played them.

He does not know much.

Especially in the recent gaming industry.

Since graduating from college, he has A'd all games.

Since then, he has not played any games.

Because compared to games, life is more important.

He has heard a little about the innovation of game graphics during this period. After all, the graphics card industry is booming. He is in the hardware business, of course he has paid attention to it, but he has only heard about it.

As for the specific context,

he has no idea.

So when he walked to the door of Lin Mu's studio and heard Mu Wanqing report the name of her company, he did not feel anything.

But Lin Yao was concerned about the system reward.

In the end, she persuaded him to consider it... Well, it was mainly the power of money.

"What is your salary target at Xinlisheng?" After learning that the other party was not very interested, Lin Yao asked him directly about his salary.

"8K to 12K."

"If you pass the interview, 30,000 to 50,000, after tax."

"I... I'll think about it."

The conversation was just so ordinary.

When Bao Liangzhe heard that it was 30,000 to 50,000 after tax, he wanted to agree on the spot.

But after all, he was an old hand who had been working in society for several years.

At the critical moment.

He woke up.

If a fresh graduate was given such a high salary for no reason, he might be ecstatic to join the company.

But Bao Liangzhe's first reaction was whether these two young-looking girls in front of him were going to trick him into going to Southeast Asia...

There was no way.

He had been in society for so long, and he had only heard of companies exploiting employees, but he had never heard of bosses giving employees high salaries for no reason. Generally, they would try to reduce the salary as much as possible.

Now the interview environment has not even started, and they are already making big promises.

He was really afraid of being deceived into going to Southeast Asia.

And Lin Yao also knew the other party's concerns, so she directly asked him to go back and think about it carefully.

After all, his company was indeed formal and not afraid of being investigated.

...

Bao Liangzhe walked out of the building confused.

The other party gave such a high salary.

From the outside, the inside looks pretty reliable.

But why is it for me?

I can't figure it out.

Bao Liangzhe turned his head to look at the building, and then saw the huge advertisement that made him stop before entering the building.

Although he doesn't play games now.

But he still has aesthetic ability.

The man wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword in the advertisement is really handsome.

"Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King, Linmu Studio."

Bao Liangzhe retracted his gaze and muttered a few words of information he got from the poster and Mu Wanqing.

Suddenly, he felt that the name was familiar.

He returned home without stopping.

Because Xinlisheng even filled in the wrong address, the interview was of course cancelled. Now he can only go back to check whether Linmu Studio is a reliable company.

Sitting in front of the computer.

Bao Liangzhe entered a few words of Linmu Studio with a tentative mood.

Press OK, and the results popped up immediately.

The homepage is full of results related to Linmu Studio.

Ordinary companies.

How can they get such treatment.

It's hard to find an official website.

So Bao Liangzhe was shocked instantly. What kind of company is this, so many victims! ?

He clicked on one of the web pages anxiously and took a look.

Wrath of the Lich King, expectation, and a game coming out soon.

These were probably the key words.

The people in the post were indeed victims.

But they were not the kind of victims he understood.

Although these victims also complained, they only complained about why Linmu Studio had not released the game yet, but just released a CG to whet people's appetite!

Bao Liangzhe was amazed. He

finally figured out what Linmu Studio did.

The other party was not only formal.

It was also very famous in the gaming circle.

But such a company...why would they hire him?

Bao Liangzhe was puzzled and clicked on the recently widely circulated promotional video of Wrath of the Lich King.

Soon.

He finished watching it. He

was stunned in place and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Again, although he didn't play games, he still had aesthetic ability.

And because he was in charge of the 3D sensing module before, he had a clear understanding of the technical strength and difficulty of this CG.

This is too awesome...

It can be said that every frame has been done to the extreme.

Such a company.

What on earth should I do? What

I am good at is somatosensory equipment and perception modules. What can I do for a game company?

Game console?

I am not familiar with it.

Install a computer?

No way?

Bao Liangzhe was completely confused. Then he looked at the posts related to Linmu Studio that occupied most of the screen, thought about it, gritted his teeth, and simply asked for help from netizens.

He pondered for a moment.

Registered an account and posted a message.

[Excuse me, Linmu Studio wants to recruit me, but I am a hardware engineer. Why do they want to recruit me? ]

He typed out the title, and then in the body of the message, he briefly talked about his experience.

And the post was just sent out.

Very quickly.

More than a dozen replies appeared.

Bao Liangzhe, who thought that no one would be interested and that he would get a reply in the evening, looked at the red reply number below the avatar in the upper right corner and was stunned.

After clicking it.

"Have you been to Linmu Studio? Is the game ready? A game called "Warcraft"!"

"Have you met Lin Yao in person?"

"Did you see the advertisement outside the building?"

"Fuck, how come you were admitted even though you walked into the wrong door?"

"Have you seen the "Warcraft" production staff? Can you find out their addresses? I want to give them some small gifts. Who are you going to show such a cool CG to? It's too much. You can't play the game after you see it!"

"Have you met the members of the CG team of Linmu Studio?"

The stupid netizens were very enthusiastic.

They didn't solve his problem.

Instead, they asked him a lot of questions...

Bao Liangzhe was numb, sitting in a chair, looking at the increasing number of replies. He

was a little confused.

No, it's not like that.

I asked you questions, and you asked me? Didn't I say I was a hardware engineer? You asked me?

Then.

Something even more speechless happened.

Someone sent a private message to her.

Asked if she could get the number of a key member of the CG team of Linmu Studio...

If she could get it, she would be rewarded handsomely!

This... Did they want him to be a corporate spy?

Bao Liangzhe encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and he didn't know how to reply.

It was also the first time that he realized the reputation of Linmu Studio in the gaming circle and the influence of that CG.

This company is really awesome.

It's not just the kind of awesome that draws pie in the sky, the works it produces are also awesome.

Bao Liangzhe also found that the Breakout Challenge that was so popular last year was also done by them...

But this made Bao Liangzhe even more confused.

He checked a lot, but the more he checked, the more confused he became.

Instead, there were more and more private messages.

He scratched his head and finally decided to delete the post.

Forget it.

I'll go and ask directly tomorrow. What

exactly does Linmu Studio want him to do.

As for corporate espionage... psychopath.

Bao Liangzhe directly replied with this word.

He actually looked down on these people. Seeing that others are doing well, they want to poach people and want to get to the top overnight.

But the problem is that this is the result of their system. Can you really replicate the success of others by poaching people?

...

The next day.

Bao Liangzhe got up early, took a shower, changed into a suit, and came to Linmu Studio again in a slightly more formal outfit.

He reported his name to the front desk.

Very quickly.

Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing came over.

Seeing Bao Liangzhe in a suit with his hair parted in the middle.

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then turned to the black-haired girl with glasses next to her and asked, "Who is this?"

"I'm Bao Liangzhe."

Bao Liangzhe was a little embarrassed, and realized that he was too formal.

After all, yesterday's experience made him suddenly realize that this studio is really awesome, even more awesome than Xinlisheng.

Lin Yao was also joking, and after seeing Bao Liangzhe's embarrassed expression, she stopped talking, smiled, and asked, "Have you decided?"

"Well... I have a question, Mr. Lin, I'm a somatosensory engineer, I'm really not familiar with game consoles, and you guys are making games... I don't think I can do anything."

Bao Liangzhe smiled bitterly and asked the question he had been puzzled about.

But when Lin Yao heard that he was a somatosensory engineer, not only was she not disappointed, but her eyes lit up: "Are you a somatosensory engineer?"

"Well, I originally applied for this position yesterday. Xinlisheng is the best in 3D somatosensory, and I really don't know much about games."

Bao Liangzhe looked at Lin Yao with a little puzzlement, whose eyes were slightly bright.

I don't understand why she was so excited.

Game consoles have nothing to do with motion sensing, right?

There is no such thing as WIU in this world.

Games really have nothing to do with 3D motion sensing.

He couldn't imagine how games could be related to 3D motion sensing.

Now on the market.

The technology in this area currently mainly serves the entry and exit of personnel, trajectory tracking, behavior recognition and behavior analysis.

To put it bluntly, it is security, customizing somatosensory technology solutions for enterprises, and applying them in scenarios such as personnel verification and smart door locks.

"Well..."

Lin Yao glanced at Bao Liangzhe and realized that she had really found the right person.

Somatosensory interaction is exactly the key area she wants to develop the host next.

But she also saw that the man with a middle-parted hair in front of her was confused.

But he couldn't say it for the time being.

After all, the early development of the new host is still very sensitive. Although the patent has been registered, who knows whether competitors will find a way to bypass the patent.

Moreover, making a game console is a long process, and there is no benefit in exposing it too early.

After careful consideration.

Lin Yao asked: "This aspect involves confidentiality. Are you willing to join the company and sign the corresponding confidentiality agreement and non-compete agreement? If you are willing, I will tell you and guarantee that you can use your own expertise."

"This..."

Bao Liangzhe hesitated. Signing a confidentiality agreement is okay, but signing a non-compete agreement will be very troublesome if he is fired.

He was a little worried.

But he looked at Lin Yao's sincere expression, thought about the reputation of this studio on the Internet, and his current predicament of being unemployed, and agreed.

"Okay."

"Then welcome to join."

Lin Yao smiled at him, and then asked Mu Wanqing to arrange someone to take him to handle the entry documents.

But before leaving.

Bao Liangzhe thought of something and suddenly said: "I posted a message last night..."

Lin Yao shook her head after listening: "It's okay, you said you are a hardware engineer and didn't tell us what the studio is going to do."

Bao Liangzhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
