Interview with the game development team project manager
Xu Dan, Baizhu Digital Entertainment R & D section project manager. There are fewer inheritors in China.
Why does Xu Dan go online to develop this road? He said: "Because I like the game, I also like to have someone else: I have a lot of time, I like to be immersed in the game." But I am a very chance of chance, then he is still reading, then online Occasionally found a domestic studio recruited, then tried to send a resume, did not expect it to succeed (glowing gold ...) At the end of 2000, it is to start officially in the work of the studio. Gradually study game development technology. In the "1937 Special Forces", "Amazing Three Kingdoms 2", and the "glory" work grows into an excellent game developer.
When participating in these items, the biggest feeling is that there is no project development. It is not to pour the product of all the blood of the developer. It is the result of the hard work of the day, and in these project development, every project can make him learn before. Never touched things, the first two projects are more technical to deepen their own accumulation and understanding of the work of the game development. The final project made me deeply experience the importance of project management.
So he gradually understands the development of game development than others, thus gradually growing into a project manager. Now more energy is placed on tracking project schedule, while thinking is more tired than previously written programs, because each link of the project must know very clearly, this is obviously a very important thing.
When talking to the domestic game R & D market, he believes that there is a very good programmer, art, and planning in China. In fact, the most lack of the management of the project, often there will be some group or company easy to fall into the In a very unordered development environment, then the quality of the project will naturally be satisfied.
How to solve this sharp problem? This requires good control of the project manager, and the continuous delivery of such thoughts in the project process. Every small link needs to be seriously treated, and the company has invited a engineer from the United States, from him, and the biggest difference between the domestic developers is that domestic developers think the little thing, he is quite valued.
In fact, all management must be based on strict implementation, but the premise is that there must be a tough system, which is a goal, which makes everyone gradually be close to this direction.
Many people think that this team employee will not lose under strict framework? And Xu Dan believes that it will not be, when everyone pays attention to the details, it will not have much impact on his mood, and good employees know how to separate work and life. Integrate into the team to complete the task, taste the fun of developing.
His next step plan to do some more in-depth research in technology, bring the programmers in the team, and laid your business. This allows both the project manager to be sensational to new technologies, but also guarantee the technical quality of the team's overall technology.
At the same time, Xu Dan believes that there are now many companies that invest in games, and the game production industry is currently very hot. However, due to the pressure of capital, and the current business environment, many developers have to put the quality of the game in the second place, which is nothing benefit to the development of the whole industry, this is also an unusual expert worry about the industry, also We should also pay attention.
