Despite increasingly stringent interview processes, the studio's total staff continues to expand...
Blue Star not only enjoys a huge reputation in the gaming market, but is also a highly sought-after brand in the job market.
Whether considering basic salary or benefits, anyone who has the opportunity to join Blue Star will not consider other organizations.
In the past, when Blue Star's interviews weren't so strict, the number of people coming to the company for interviews in a single day almost wore down the doorstep, leaving the interviewers exhausted.
That was also the time when they finally managed to recruit enough backend development teams for "Xia Ke Xing" in one go, filling the last technical gap in Blue Star Studio.
Now that the interviews at Blue Star have become more rigorous, even more people are submitting their resumes.
The HR department must set up a special team and borrow an AI to process these resumes in an assembly line manner.
The pass rate for resumes has dropped to an alarming 0.1%.
Even more surprisingly, unusual trends have emerged in the job market.
A resume that passes Blue Star's resume screening process and receives an interview invitation from Blue Star will instantly increase its value.
While other game companies might not dare to directly compete when a new game is released on Earth, they can secretly poach players from other games!
In any case, anyone who is chosen by Earth must have something to offer.
This has led to some candidates being quite happy after receiving interview invitations.
Making it to the final rounds of an interview is actually quite an achievement, something you can brag about to your classmates.
Some people were lucky enough to meet Mingyan himself in the elevator. After shaking hands with him, they were flattered and immediately posted their interview experience online, which quickly became a hot topic.
In conclusion, Blue Star Studio currently holds an extremely high position in the industry.
They don't lack manpower now; on the contrary, they have too many!
If the reviewer truly wants to join Blue Star Studio, it probably won't be so easy...
Mingyan is currently considering establishing a "second team" to hand over the development of "Blue Star Apocalypse 2" to the surplus manpower.
The first group of designers he mentored can now be considered to have graduated.
One group is currently in full charge of developing or reworking new classes for League of Legends, another group is leading the design of the second expansion for The Legend of Swordsman, and the remaining three-person team is a good opportunity to hone their skills in the small dark room.
Mingyan himself continued to personally lead the team, guiding the new batch of designers to discuss new projects after "Dragon Hunter".
He had a completely new design idea.
“Last year during the Blue Star Carnival, I got some inspiration for a haunted house,” Ming said. “The initial design isn’t finished yet, but I plan to add a pavilion to this year’s carnival, well, for the sake of the theme elements—”
"How about we call it 'Healing Center'?"
——“Therapy Center”.
—It's a haunted house.
Chief Designer Ming was very satisfied with his naming skills and smiled happily. :)
The new designers all widened their eyes.
Upon hearing this, several senior designers all smiled with excitement.
In fact, these newly recruited designers were asked quite a few questions about haunted houses during their interviews.
Blue Star Studio's policy has always followed Chief Designer Ming's direction.
Since the next project will most likely follow the path of Lao Jiu's horror game, making adequate human resource preparations in advance is an important task for the human resources department.
Ming Yan quickly ended his meeting and went to attend to other matters.
Meanwhile, the designers, who were familiar with their own fields, remained in the conference room, discussing their design inspiration for the haunted house.
"Since it's a treatment room, there should naturally be caregivers..."
"Hehehe, what kind of weapon should the caregiver use? The extra-large syringe seems too ordinary. How about changing the needle to be a hundred times thicker?"
"I think we could use a stun gun, that would be incredibly effective."
"Hehehehe..."
A chilling laugh echoed from inside the meeting room.
...
With more than a month to go before the Blue Star Carnival, there's plenty of time to set up a haunted house.
But Ming-yan also stated that there was another purpose for this trip: the outer venues of the carnival—
Independent game experience center.
Morningstar Incubator has been established for nearly a year. During this year, Xia Cheng has found the most suitable management team and is working hard to operate this emerging incubator.
Six months ago, the first batch of incubated individuals—independent game developers—had just settled in the incubation park.
Some of the production teams that entered the incubator brought their own entire teams, but were just raising funds from all over the place to start their projects;
Some consist of only two or three people who, fresh out of college, are full of enthusiasm and have a few brilliant ideas, and decide to start their own businesses.
Some, even just one designer, came alone with their design proposal.
All these aspiring game developers are able to participate in the first round of selection and interviews at Morningstar Incubator.
