【18新人シリーズ⑪】AMATAでの三ヶ月

*English translation below

こんにちは！
四月に入社した新人アーティストの牟（Mu）です。
今日は「AMATAでの三ヶ月」を紹介したいと思います。

AMATAに入社してから三ヶ月が過ぎました。一番強く感じることは「AMATAは本当に本当に他人のことを重視している会社だ」ということです。
これは、実は入社後に思ったことではなく、面接の段階で気付いたことでした。
面接の時、AMATAに到着した後、人事の方がすぐ来て案内してくれました。面接官の方も優しく、私が分からない日本語を説明してくれました。
あの時、AMATAで仕事をしたいと決めました。

入社後はこの思いはもっと強くなりました。
新人研修は全部で一ヶ月行われ、最初の一週間には社会人の知識やビジネスマナーなどを学びました。
新卒の私にとってとても役に立ちました。知らない知識を教えていただき、とても感謝しています。

それから、ゲームを作るときに必要なツールの勉強です。
残りの三週間の間にmaya、unity、spineを学びました。外国人で日本語に不慣れで専門も全然違う私は、最初は少し不安になりました。でも、先輩はすごく親切に教えてくれました。
この研修で、ゲーム制作に必要なものについて多くを理解することが出来、現在の仕事に役立っています。
この一ヶ月で、たくさんの知識を得られて嬉しいと思います。

今、私はプロジェクトに配属しました。みんなすごく優しい人です。
私の専門がゲームに関するものではないので、まだ分からないことが山ほどあります。
この2ヶ月間に、バナーやエフェクトなどをやりました。本当にたくさんのものを学びました。
私は自分のゲームを作りたいので、ゲームに関するものを全部学びたいです。AMATAが私にこのチャンスをくれました。
AMATAは、成長したい人に適している会社だと思います。社員に多くのチャンスが与えられます。

平日には勉強会と日本語/英語ランチなどがあって、普段一緒に仕事しない社員に会うことができます。いろいろな話を聞くことが出来、たくさんのものを勉強できます。

AMATAは本当にいい会社です。たくさんのチャンスが与えられます。
これからもAMATAで成長していきたいと思います。

【18 New Faces Series⑪】3 Months at AMATA

Hello!
I’m Mu, a newly hired artist that joined the company back in April.
For today’s topic I’d like to talk about my “3 Months at AMATA.”

3 months have passed since I first came onboard here at AMATA, and the thing that impressed me the most about this company was the way that AMATA really, truly values people coming from outside the company that they haven’t met yet.
This wasn’t something that occurred to me after I had already been hired, either. It was actually during the interview process that I started to notice this.
When I arrived at AMATA for my interview there were people from the HR department right there to greet me and show me around. The people interviewing me were also very polite and they helped me out whenever there was something I didn’t understand in Japanese.
I knew right at that moment that I wanted to work here at AMATA.

That feeling has only grown stronger since I was hired.
Every department underwent a month long new employee training program, and during the first week we learned about business etiquette and other information about professional life.
I had just graduated from college, so this was really useful for someone like me. I very much appreciated being able to come in and learn so much about stuff that I didn’t know about.

Other than that, I also learned a lot about tools that are essential for making games.
For the remaining three weeks I studied the following tools: Maya, Unity, Spine. I’m from abroad and don’t have a lot of experience with Japanese, and my professional expertise is in a completely different field, so I was a little nervous at first when it came to learning about these tools. But, the more experienced staff was extremely helpful and courteous when it came to teaching.
This training course helped me understand a lot about the essentials for game development, which I’m finding very useful for what I’m working on right now.
I’m delighted that I was able to learn as much as I did during that 1-month period.

I’m assigned to a specific project right now and everyone that I work with is very nice.
My expertise lies outside of games, so there is still quite a bit that I don’t understand.
During these 2 months I did things like banners and effects, and I really got to learn a lot during this period.
I want to make a game of my own, which means I want to learn everything I can across every discipline, and AMATA has given me a chance to do just that.
AMATA is perfect for people like me who want to learn and develop their skills. They give their employees a lot of opportunities for professional development.

There are study sessions and Japanese/English Lunch get-togethers held during the week, which are great for getting to meet other employees at the company that I don’t normally work with. We get to talk about all sorts of stuff and study a bunch while we’re at it.

AMATA is truly a great company and they give employees so many opportunities like this.
I can’t wait to grow and develop even more at AMATA.
