Illuvium Labs削減了40％的員工來加快遊戲開發時間表

Illuvium聯合創始人兼首席執行官基蘭·沃里克（Kieran Warwick）在接受Cointelegraph講話時說，該公司在過去的兩年中一直在縮減規模。

Blockchain gaming firm Illuvium Labs has cut roughly 40% of its workforce over the last two weeks in an effort to speed up its game development timelines.

區塊鏈遊戲公司Illuvium Labs在過去兩個星期中減少了大約40％的員工隊伍，以加快其遊戲開發時間表。

Speaking to Cointelegraph, Illuvium co-founder and CEO Kieran Warwick said the firm had been downsizing for the last two years as the bear market set in, dropping from a peak of 200 employees.

Illuvium聯合創始人兼首席執行官基蘭·沃里克（Kieran Warwick）在接受Cointelegraph講話時說，該公司在過去的兩年中一直縮小規模，因為熊市的成立率從200名員工的峰值下降。

The latest cut has taken the staff number from 110 to 65. Warwick said none of the layoffs were developers, with most of the staff coming from “teams that work in more of an operational capacity,” such as marketing, operations, security and quality assurance.

最新的削減將員工編號從110到65。保證。

The QA work will now be given to the community, he said.

他說，現在將質量保證工作交給社區。

Warwick says that while it’s a “somber moment” to see people go, the firm aims to be more efficient after becoming a bit “too corporate” and growing too fast, adding:

沃里克說，雖然看到人們走了，這是一個“沉悶的時刻”，但該公司的目標是在變得有些“企業”並成長太快之後提高效率，並補充說：

“In our first year, there wasn’t much management. There weren’t many layers. It was just getting in, 12- to 15-hour days and smashing out as much work as possible, which arguably saw us build more than at any other time in Illuvium’s history.”

“在我們的第一年，沒有太多的管理。沒有很多層。它只是12到15小時的天數，並儘可能多地砸碎了工作，這可以說是我們在伊利夫（Illuvium）歷史上的任何其他時間都多。”

Illuvium is developing three blockchain games: Overworld, Illuvium Arena and Illuvium Zero, which all operate on the Ethereum blockchain.

Illuvium正在開發三個區塊鏈遊戲：Overworld，Illuvium Arena和Illuvium Zero，它們都在以太坊區塊鏈上運行。

In its white paper, the project’s roadmap hasn’t been updated in over a year. However, the firm has been actively releasing patches for its games and announcing plans to evolve its game Illuvium Overworld into a massively multiplayer online game (MMO).

在白皮書中，該項目的路線圖已在一年多以來沒有更新。但是，該公司一直在積極發布其遊戲補丁，並宣布計劃將其遊戲Illuvium Overlld進化為大型多人遊戲在線遊戲（MMO）。

The firm also announced a partnership with AI agent protocol Virtuals in a bid to upgrade its in-game non-playable characters so they can adapt to quests, dialogue and challenges based on the player’s actions.

該公司還宣布了與AI代理協議虛擬的合作夥伴關係，以升級其在遊戲中的不可播放的角色，以便他們可以根據玩家的行動來適應任務，對話和挑戰。

Warwick says the staff cuts will also help reduce the firm’s monthly burn rate from averaging around $950,000 down to $500,000, with plans to drop it even further by the end of March.

沃里克說，工作人員的削減還將有助於將公司的每月燒傷率從平均約950,000美元降至500,000美元，併計劃在3月底之前將其進一步刪除。

Some of the staff have also opted to take pay reductions, while others have agreed to accept the ecosystem’s token (ILV) instead of regular USD, all of which has given the firm “24 months of runway.”

一些員工還選擇減少薪水，而另一些員工也同意接受生態系統的令牌（ILV），而不是常規美元，所有這些都使該公司“ 24個月的跑道”。

At this stage, Warwick doesn’t anticipate the staff reductions affecting game development as they work toward “getting all of our core games in a really good state” and scaling back up, but not to the same staff levels as before, as it works toward new initiatives.

在此階段，沃里克（Warwick）並沒有預料員工減少游戲開發，因為他們致力於“使我們的所有核心遊戲處於非常好的狀態”並擴大到與以前相同的員工水平，因為它的工作原理採取新計劃。

“We’re relaunching Arena, one of our core games, and over the next four to five months, we will be shipping a whole bunch of new features and getting all of our core games in a really good state,” he said.

他說：“我們正在重新啟動競技場，這是我們的核心遊戲之一，在接下來的四到五個月中，我們將運送許多新功能，並使我們的所有核心遊戲處於一個非常好的狀態。”
