Getting a job is not something you prepare for,
Following

Students complain that it is difficult to get a job, but companies actually complain that they have no one to hire. There are many job seekers at the entry level, but there is still a big gap between them and the level of new recruits required for actual projects . Students study hard and do their best, but it is not a good idea to just try hard without knowing the right way to do it. Just as it is meaningless to try your best while going against the grain when running a marathon, it is also important to study programming in the right direction.

However, from a student's perspective, it is very difficult to find the path in limited information. They say that entering a company and seeing a lot of other people's code is a shortcut to growth, but this opportunity is a privilege that is given only after getting a job. And in reality, companies prefer experienced workers and are reluctant to hire new employees. So how on earth should new employees gain experience?

Rookiss MMO Lab is a newly established team that aims to release an online game every year. Rookiss's philosophy is that games are successful with ideas and fun, and the technology used to develop the game is widely distributed so that everyone can grow together. In the first half of 2024 , we produced [Idle Raising Single RPG Game (M1)] and learned RPG content and web server basics, and in the second half, we plan to develop [MMO Game (M2)] by recycling art resources. If you take this course, you can follow the progress of the second half project.

M2 aims to launch a [mobile casual MMO].
We focus on taking you through the technology stack for launching online games with a focus on technology.
Developing an online game requires extensive knowledge of client/server/web/DB, and we implement all of this ourselves without missing a single one. We use the classic <Lineage-like> idle game as a reference for planning, and we quickly proceed with development without the burden of planning.

Although the MMO genre represented by <Lineage-like> is being ignored by users, MMO is the standard for online game development as it is compatible with all technologies. If you understand all the contents of the development process covered in M2, you can gain confidence that you can adapt to any project . This is a valuable ability that only the top 1% of actual working programmers have.

Will studying this broadly really help me get a job?
Just change your perspective. If you were the interviewer, would you hire A or B?
- A: A person who has a broad understanding and experience in development across all fields, including client/server/web/DB.
- B: A person who attended a 6-month Unity national scholarship course and created a simple puzzle game.
The answer is already out there .

The M2 development team is as follows:

• Programmer x2 (Rookiss, Dragon)

• Planning x1 (Zombie)

• Art x2 (Ten, Ethan)

• Animation x1 (Goose)

• Effector x1 (Dawn)

• UIx1 (Undecided)

What kind of portfolio should I create to get a job?

Questions like this don't make much sense.
This is because companies prioritize the applicant's comprehensive skills and research abilities. However, if you submit a simple Unity puzzle game as your main portfolio and there is not even a single core technology that can be emphasized in it, then it can be seen that your strategy is wrong. This is because employment is fundamentally a relative evaluation, and the applicant's documents have no distinguishing power among numerous job seekers.

If you practice making large-scale games based on what you learned in class, and write a technical introduction on various RPG implementation/design methods, and even write down the things you thought about during the development process and ultimately experience making it into an online game and releasing it, you will find yourself able to choose a company and go there, rather than worrying about getting the documents approved. This is because getting a job is not something you prepare for, but something that follows .
