不久前,寧波諾丁漢大學計算機科學系的大四學生曾馬文泰和陳禮科分別收到了騰訊和頂級手遊開發公司成都尼畢魯科技股份有限公司(tap4fun)的入職通知。

兩人是同住一個寢室的室友,陳禮科喜歡鑽研遊戲開發,曾馬文泰喜歡研究遊戲中的設計和體驗。因為懷抱著對遊戲的愛和熱情,兩人都選擇投身遊戲產業。陳禮科將成為一名遊戲開發者,而曾馬文泰將成為騰訊的一名遊戲策劃。

“希望有朝一日能聯手做出一款讓大家喜歡的遊戲”,陳禮科說。

曾馬文泰:從玩家到遊戲策劃的角色轉換

陳禮科來自海南,曾馬文泰來自新疆,緣分使然成為室友。最初,兩人因為喜歡玩遊戲經常組隊,成了遊戲中的“隊友”。同是計算機科學專業,在專業學習中,兩人又成為了好學友,萌生了對遊戲產品開發的熱情,最終“志同道合”決定從事遊戲行業。

“不再是純碎的玩家角度,而是會去思考分析玩家的體驗”,曾馬文泰說,遊戲是體驗為王的產品,好的體驗意味著要有好的敘事、流程、場景等等。作為一名遊戲策劃師,需要在遊戲廣度上達到一定水平,並從大量的遊戲中分析和總結。比如,正式入職前騰訊就給他列了一個清單,要求他體驗清單裡的遊戲,並闡述對特定類型遊戲的理解。

能夠獲得業界大牛騰訊的青睞,曾馬文泰說和第一次失敗的經歷有關:大三暑假時,他申請了騰訊的實習生,可是止步於一面。他轉而進入遊族網絡的產品戰略部,實習期內他得以瞭解遊戲產業的各個崗位,並嘗試遊戲策劃的工作內容,從而發掘了自己對遊戲策劃的巨大熱情。

有了第一次的經驗,第二次申請騰訊曾馬文泰有備而去。 “總共是四輪面試。群體面試中,討論的問題是關於一款國外火爆遊戲的玩法設計。很多人當場表示只是聽過這款遊戲,並沒有親身體驗過。我因為玩過這款遊戲,在玩的過程中帶著思考,觀察過這款遊戲中的設計,並且和實習的朋友們討論總結過這類遊戲的設計邏輯,所以在這輪面試中的表現比其他人突出不少。”

陳禮科:寫代碼是既擅長又熱愛的事

如果說遊戲策劃負責構建藍圖,而遊戲開發則負責實現這個藍圖。陳禮科即將作為一名遊戲開發者入職國內頂尖手遊開發公司tap4fun。這家年輕的公司曾製作出風靡海外的《銀河傳奇》《戰地風暴》等策略遊戲。

然而之所以選擇這家公司,陳禮科給出的理由卻有點奇特——喜歡成都這座城市。

“最初是想到不同的地方看一看,之後在成都實習,呆得時間越長,越覺得這個城市適合我。” 有趣的是,大火的王者榮耀就誕生在成都。馬化騰就公開表達過曾覺得成都的生活太安逸,後來才意識到,或許是這份安逸讓團隊能夠開發出好的遊戲。

陳禮科大三暑期在tap4fun實習,他笑稱與王者榮耀團隊所距不遠。實習期間,他參加了公司組織的AI戰艦編程。實戰中,他設計的戰艦所向披靡,最終擊敗36名參賽者中獲得第一名。出色的代碼編寫能力讓tap4fun提前“鎖定”了他。實習一結束,他就拿到了tap4fun的offer。

“感謝寧諾給我的交換機會,收穫非常大。儘管在交換期間成績不算太好,但這段經歷讓我大開眼界,既學到了最前沿的技術,也看到了遊戲製作的世界級水平。” 陳禮科說。

相互欣賞,想給更多人科普遊戲行業

作為理科生,兩人回答問題時言簡意賅,但說起對方的閃光點卻滔滔不絕。陳禮科說,“我是一個挺隨性的人,但曾馬是一個特別有毅力的人。他下定決心要做一件事情,就一定能做好。找工作的時候,他幾乎天天都在分析比較各款遊戲。而且,他遊戲打得比我好。” 曾馬文泰曾是一名電競愛好者,他在寧諾組隊參加過CSL守望先鋒全國高校聯賽。個人最好成績是全國500強。

而在曾馬文泰眼中,陳禮科對代碼的天分令人羨慕。並且,在寫代碼這件事上,他從不自滿,永遠在精益求進。“他會去研究不同的語言,像我們討論過谷歌的Go語言,還有一些前沿的技術,比如英偉達的光線追蹤等等。”

即將要成為一名“碼農”,陳禮科表示對喜歡遊戲的人來說,能夠進入遊戲行業真的非常開心。“玩了多年遊戲,也學了多年計算機,終於變成了做遊戲的人,感覺很奇妙。這是一個工業化程度很深的行業,涉及到不同專業的合作,有策劃、美工、程序實現、運營等等。相信可以學到很多。"

“遊戲伴著我成長。我覺得只要不關在遊戲籠裡,它是非常好的一種娛樂形式和教育形式”,曾馬文泰說,“在寧諾遇到了一群對遊戲行業有熱情的人,大家在線上或聚在一起時都會討論行業的困境和未來,希望能保持住這份喜歡遊戲的初心,創作出高質量的遊戲產品。”

Much more than just a game

Marvin Zeng and Like Chen, two Year-4 students of Computer Science, recently received offers to work at Tencent and (game development company) Tap4fun respectively. They are both determined to follow their dreams and forge careers inside the gaming industry.

When speaking of his new job as a game designer, Marvin says: “It is about transforming perspectives from ‘how to play’ to ‘what would a player think of this’.”

For game designers, experience of a diverse number of games is fundamental. The group interview for Tencent was on the gameplay design of a foreign game that many people had only heard of, not played.

“My advantage was that I had not only played it but also discussed the logic of its gameplay design with my friends,” says Marvin. “I was also given a list of games to experience before I start my job at Tencent and required to present my own interpretations.”

As for Like, the reason for choosing Tap4fun was its location. “Chengdu is cosy, but I guess that’s how those fabulous and popular games can be developed,” he says. The excellent coding ability Like showed during his internship at Tap4fun won him the offer as a game developer.

For Like, his most significant experience was the exchange term he spent at McGill University in Canada, where he had a chance to work with world-class gaming technology.

As classmates and roommates, Zeng and Like shared their passion for games and game development. These shared interests led them to establish a solid friendship.

“Marvin is a much better game player than me,” says Like – his best performance was Top 500 in China; and his resolution – as long as he is determined to do it, he can do it well,” says Like. For Marvin, Like’s talent for coding is enviable and his unremitting pursuit of it admirable.

“The gaming industry is actually very inter-disciplinary. It involves programming, art design, operations and so much more,” says Like. “And as long as you’re not locked in, gaming is great entertainment and indeed, education,” adds Marvin.

"I hope someday we can work together to produce games that everyone likes," says Like.
