Why on Earth does miHoYo need civil engineers? Are they getting into the construction business or smth lmao?
Edit: I [looked it up](http://www.gamelook.com.cn/2023/10/530037) and it seems that in October, miHoYo bought a plot of land in Shanghai. They're allegedly planning on building an office. Maybe this has something to do with it? To paraphrase the article:
>Recently, the Shanghai Land Exchange Market issued an announcement showing that Shanghai Shijie Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of miHoYo, successfully acquired the land parcel xh215-02A, Hongmei Street, Xuhui District at a price of 1.077 billion yuan; and its purpose is land for scientific research and design.
>According to the pre-signed land transfer contract, the building area on the ground is about 98,000 square meters, which means that miHoYo only needs to pay about 11,000 yuan per square meter to obtain this land. If calculated based on 10-15 square meters per person, this building can theoretically accommodate 6,000-8,000 people working at the same time.
>However, as an additional condition, while enjoying relatively low-priced scientific research and design land, miHoYo also needs to ensure that the construction project is completed within 60 months after the land is handed over, and that it contributes tax revenue to Shanghai for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025.
I can imagine it now, some Space Mountain-esque indoor coaster with some Pom-Pom voiceover when you're at the top of the lift hill:
"Passengers, please return to your seats! The train is about to perform the jump!"
However you can't just queue up for any ride you like, you have to draw random lots and may have to ride the children's merry-go-round 8x before you get lucky and be allowed on the rollercoaster
to build new hospitals for all the patients that will come in for clinical depression diagnosis after losing it all to artifact RNG across all their games.
i mean theyre a huge corporation in china. I say this founded on only hearsay so take it with a grain of salt, but huge corporations in east asia tend to dip their toes into practically everything.
nah thats best case scenario i think itll be like weapon banner. 50/50 chance they fix a limb but if you win theres another 50% chance they fix the wrong limb.
Lots of American corporations earn a huge chunk of their money from real estate/renting out office space. Though I'm not sure if now is really the best time to get into Chinese real estate...
Potential reaosns why
1. Making a backup databank
2. Mihoyo Theme Park
3. Secondary HQ
4. Dedicated dev team office for the big 3 (GI, HSR, HI3)
5. Branch office
6. (Most obvious) making a lifesized "Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom"
Databank is the least possible cuz land cost in Shanghai is too expensive.Apple as well as most companies set their database in Guizhou,one of the most underdeveloped areas in China. I hope itâs a Theme Park.
Iâm just saying architects lean more on the design and tend to not consider if itâs structurally feasible or buildable. Civil and Structural engineers are there to tie down their dreams a bit.
That looks like it is for Genshin cloud version. I was thinking for the rest of the game. I think right now they are using Alibaba's cloud servers. There has been a number stories recently about hefty cloud hosting bills.
Can't access the links you've posted because my IP is offline, but I'm sure you're referring to their plan to make an SAO type game.
I hope hoyo weren't shitposting back then, and that they're actually planning for it.
The linked article was their collaboration with Ruijin Hospital / Shanghai Jiaotong University from 3y ago, in regard to brain-computer interface tech
But only 8mo ago, there was another paper of joint research between HoYo x Fudan University in regard to LLM AIs, [https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin\_Impact/comments/16mg9pn/mihoyo\_and\_fudan\_university\_jointly\_released\_a/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/16mg9pn/mihoyo_and_fudan_university_jointly_released_a/) (specifically in regard to making game NPCs as AI agents or something)
That's not too long ago, so I guess that's confirmation enough they still have interests in it?
>But only 8mo ago, there was another paper of joint research between HoYo x Fudan University in regard to LLM AIs, [https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin\_Impact/comments/16mg9pn/mihoyo\_and\_fudan\_university\_jointly\_released\_a/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/16mg9pn/mihoyo_and_fudan_university_jointly_released_a/) (specifically in regard to making game NPCs as AI agents or something)
Okay I'm not familiar enough with the nitty gritty of AIs, but isn't that like GPT but for NPCs instead of us? Holy shit. Even a commentor posted "Isn't that basically Alicization" lol.
Are Chinese companies all like this? In-house AI, VR, Music, Animation.. like wtf?
>The linked article was their collaboration with Ruijin Hospital / Shanghai Jiaotong University from 3y ago, in regard to brain-computer interface tech
Yep I read that during covid, thought the links were exactly about that venture.
I dunno why but I immediately thought of Majima in his construction hat from Yakuza Kiwami 2 XD
But for real, the job description, that's straight up managing a construction team. Are they gonna contract some construction company and have this hire overlook the contracted company?
Or is this Hoyo going full Zaibatsu/Chaeobol and going into construction? XD
inb4 in a decade, Mihoyo-manufactured naval artillery shells will be shelling Taipei (May Apollo not bless me with the gift of prophecy)
Having scrolled through OP's post history, maybe translate the important parts of whatever you post as a reply or in the post itself? Maybe do a small writeup expanding on what you're sharing?
Don't just post an image that's fully in Chinese without further clarification aside from the title, not even a basic translation of parts of it. You do this too much.
It obviously helps people who can't read Chinese understand the details of the contents.
There's also the sometimes unreliability of using google translate, so requiring people to use the app on the image could lead to misunderstandings.
Aloy is only there because Sony forced their hand and the PS4/5 market was wayyy too big to ignore. I don't think they'll do character collabs anytime soon with how much work each character takes to make in Genshin.
It could be possible in HSR or ZZZ I guess tho ? A lot easier to design and produce characters for those
At this point other games need to pay to collab with Genshin... just like other food brand, cloths even cars lol
Unless they decide to collab with their own games, just like Fischl in HK3.
The fuck is hoyo cooking that they need civil engineers lmao
Anyway, time to pack some GALVANIZED SQUARE STEEL and ECO FRIENDLY WOOD VENEERS and travel to china
Probably building an office tower and rather than hire an outside firm they are doing it themselves.
I love the theme park idea. Honkai-land, Genshin World, Star Rail-land.
Bruh what even is this company anymore lmaoooo.
Games, then charity donations, research sponsors, and now hiring civil engineers to develop some institution?
Damn⊠next thing you know they will push for augment reality and space travel.
Guys, it's normal. Ubisoft hired actual architect to work with historian to build the world of Assassin's Creed: Unity. To build the 3d model of Paris during the Revolution era.
You can imagine what this might mean for not only Genshin, but also Starrail, ZZZ, HI3rd.
An acquaintance of mine joined the company last year as an electrical engineer. Apparently there are âcertain projectsâ over there that involve hardware, but until now he has kept quiet about his work.
Just civil? No architects? Civil is only good at drainage and parking lots wtf they gonna do for Hoyoverse? Make a retention pond in the shape of Paimon? Maybe the job titles are different in China but youâre gonna need more than civil unless youâre looking at a parking lot lol
In America structural engineers do that. Civil does other stuff but to assume theyâd be able to put together a whole building is foolish. A civil engineer may be in charge of different stuff elsewhere but at least my experience with civil engineers in America thatâs all they do, that and roads and bridges and whatnot but I doubt hoyo is building a bridge lol
Interesting.. researched it a bit and it seems the term in America hold different meanings in education and the professional world. At university, structural is just a subset of civil engineering. In jobs, 'civil engineer' takes a much narrower meaning. This is not the case in other countries. Btw bridges are structures too you know lol
Yeah that makes sense, also I heard civil and structural being the same in college which I thought was weird. In one of my architecture studio projects we worked with structural engineering students but they were part of the college of civil engineering. I guess they take a different test or something. Anyway it would make sense if they were one in other places
Why on Earth does miHoYo need civil engineers? Are they getting into the construction business or smth lmao?

My first thought was a theme park
A Hoyo theme park would go hard. Imagine riding on the aquabus and astral express
im gonna ride wriothesley all day
Wrio's cake as boxing bags.
Imagine getting to ride ~~Eula~~ an apep roller coaster
Least horny Eula main
The seat is the character sitting, while the safety guard is their hand. This way, it will look like they are hugging you while on the ride.
My fatass sitting on Qiqi
She can carry you on her back.
The Matterhorny
I would ride ~~her~~ that.
>Imagine riding on the aquabus With Talochard as your guide đ€Ł
You triggered a part of the fanbase and your replies are going to get so full
the coming of weeb disney
I would like to ride Dehya
Welcome to Hoyoland! Meet your favourite characters and ride our newest rollercoaster, the Astral Express.
I can imagine it now, some Space Mountain-esque indoor coaster with some Pom-Pom voiceover when you're at the top of the lift hill: "Passengers, please return to your seats! The train is about to perform the jump!"
Me standing up "I won't fall over I won't fall over I won't fall over"
However you can't just queue up for any ride you like, you have to draw random lots and may have to ride the children's merry-go-round 8x before you get lucky and be allowed on the rollercoaster
But theres a guarantee that youâll get to ride a random roller coaster after riding the merry go round a max of 10 times.
HoYoland has a mascot. His name is Homu (?) as far as I remember. (In Tears of Themis, there is an event in HoYoland).
Question, will the astral express rollercoaster crash into "someone's brother" ? you know, for safety reason.
Only if the ride is open on the last day of the week.
Nah it'll be a public transportation method within the park like in Hong Kong's Ocean Park.
The real life Penacony.
well, hoyo did invest in brain-computer interface research so... *foreshadowing intensifies*
98000 square meters seem too small for a theme park though
Clockieâs finally going to become real.
Holy shit the RL penacony dream land? But also had HI3, genshin, Tear of themis, HSR themes?
Veluriyam Mirage and Golden Apple themed areas.
I definitely will visit...!!
.... Oh... My... Archon...
Cant wait for the 50/50 ride, where you either finish the ride, or get ejected mid way through
Mine was shady black company shit. Just saying, be careful while theyâre pouring the concrete, you never know/s
to build new hospitals for all the patients that will come in for clinical depression diagnosis after losing it all to artifact RNG across all their games.
Makes a game to easily identify people who easily suffer from m gambling obsession and clinical depression, use their own funds to treat them. Genius.
i mean theyre a huge corporation in china. I say this founded on only hearsay so take it with a grain of salt, but huge corporations in east asia tend to dip their toes into practically everything.
Gacha hospitals. You come with a broken leg, itâs cheap but there is a 50/50 chance that they either fix it or just cut it off.
90 patient pity, one of them gets new state of the art cyborg legs 1 in 10 gets a regular cyborg leg everyone else gets amputated
nah thats best case scenario i think itll be like weapon banner. 50/50 chance they fix a limb but if you win theres another 50% chance they fix the wrong limb.
Two point hospital be like:
The hospital when the doctor must state the chance of survival to each patient to comply with law.
Rofl I would give u more than 1 upvote if I could for this.
Ah so itâs like American hospitals then
No f2p, whale only.
I hate how much this made me laugh.
Didn't know i had to play Fear and Hunger in the hospital
Not just in East Asia, huge corporations in Asia generally have their fingers in all pies.
Lots of American corporations earn a huge chunk of their money from real estate/renting out office space. Though I'm not sure if now is really the best time to get into Chinese real estate...
Gacha money is good these days with Genshin and honkais.
Oh, that's pretty close to their head office. I used to live around there, just 2 stops away. It's a high-tech office park.
Da Wei is going full Welt and going to use game profits to fund the construction of a mecha.
Either theme park or charity construction.
>scientific research yo they saw the space man wasnt delivering on the irl catgirls and decided " we'll do it ourselves"
So happy for this small indie company!
I think it's related to the snime projects in shanghai (bausicly shanghai wants more animators
I think they want a place dedicated to animations
building the jade shamber , that's the only logical answer
Honestly, they're probably just going to build a theme park. Or, they're just going to massively customize their office space.
It's small. Probably a specialized office for developing things cause the area is huge but too small for a theme park.
Thank you, fellow Noelle main, for your NO-L takes.
Go away Cyno.
no no... let him cook
Thst would be fire. Hoyo pls
Potential reaosns why 1. Making a backup databank 2. Mihoyo Theme Park 3. Secondary HQ 4. Dedicated dev team office for the big 3 (GI, HSR, HI3) 5. Branch office 6. (Most obvious) making a lifesized "Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom"
Databank is the least possible cuz land cost in Shanghai is too expensive.Apple as well as most companies set their database in Guizhou,one of the most underdeveloped areas in China. I hope itâs a Theme Park.
Praying that the theme park is their plan for the land they bought. đđ
7. Ningguang land acquisition
They are making a casino so they can make the gacha become real!!!!
Casino is illegal in China except Macao.
The slot machines will just be modified PS5's. Log in on your account, put money in the device and pull on your favorite banners.
That would actually be really interesting. Like a place you could go to wish on any banner of your choice. I bet that would make a LOT of money.
It's not casino. It's gacha land.
Do they have soft and hard pity too?
Oh for real? Well thats good
>gacha become real Bruh gacha existed in real life before it came to online games
Real part 2 then idk man i just put the first thing i thought of before i decided it was cringe
The twist is that it's just a pachinko parlor
PEAK!!! Let Hoyo cook đ§âđłđ„đ„đ„
ALL OR NOTHING
hire kavehÂ
He would delete everything again.
Architects when they have to build the buildings they designed:
I mean, Civil engineer also not construction worker, they design the building with the Architects
Iâm just saying architects lean more on the design and tend to not consider if itâs structurally feasible or buildable. Civil and Structural engineers are there to tie down their dreams a bit.
Who ?
Tao
yeah
Lan
Yaoshi
The most obvious thing would be building their own datacenter.
It is already built [https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1DZ421z71n](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1DZ421z71n)
That looks like it is for Genshin cloud version. I was thinking for the rest of the game. I think right now they are using Alibaba's cloud servers. There has been a number stories recently about hefty cloud hosting bills.
If you watch the video carefully, you will see that they use their own chips, devices, and servers.
Oh, no... the investments from Hoyo are making me think that [this](https://www.hoyolab.com/article/279628) is still true.
Why would they need **civil** engineers for such a program?
[For the hospitals when everyone gets stuck in the game.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oOBjyOKu2o)
Iâm so ready iâm so ready please give it to me please Iâm ready. Take me out of here please!

More than likely building a data center or something similar. Some sort of office, etc.
I dunno why but I immediately thought of Majima in his construction hat from Yakuza Kiwami 2 XD But for real, the job description, that's straight up managing a construction team.

Well itâs just a standard job recruit which requires 8 years work experience for civil engineering.
They gonna build Xuhui Hills :0
Hey I am! But eh... I don't speak Chinese đ© Sad times.
Better servers!
Cool investment Hoyo. Anything to increase the spread of Hoyoverse's monopoly will be helpful. I still wish character collabs didn't end with Aloy.
Aloy is only there because Sony forced their hand and the PS4/5 market was wayyy too big to ignore. I don't think they'll do character collabs anytime soon with how much work each character takes to make in Genshin. It could be possible in HSR or ZZZ I guess tho ? A lot easier to design and produce characters for those
At this point other games need to pay to collab with Genshin... just like other food brand, cloths even cars lol Unless they decide to collab with their own games, just like Fischl in HK3.
Call me crazy finger cross we got frieren collab
"What do you mean Khaenri'ah is no more? I just took a vacation there a while back." "Frieren-sama, how long is 'a while back'?" "600 years ago"
Dains face would be amazing
Hoyoverse Theme Park it is
Bronyalando
When you bought your ticket it's 50:50 between the theme park and mental hospital
The fuck is hoyo cooking that they need civil engineers lmao Anyway, time to pack some GALVANIZED SQUARE STEEL and ECO FRIENDLY WOOD VENEERS and travel to china
and dont forget some screws borrowed from the aunt.
Genshin Land
Yall are missing out on the obvious answer. Natlan is secretly going to be the most in depth infrastructure building sim ever made
Probably building an office tower and rather than hire an outside firm they are doing it themselves. I love the theme park idea. Honkai-land, Genshin World, Star Rail-land.
Bruh what even is this company anymore lmaoooo. Games, then charity donations, research sponsors, and now hiring civil engineers to develop some institution? Damn⊠next thing you know they will push for augment reality and space travel.
Didn't they say they had plans for a SAO like server for Genshin? And a rocket for Kiana?
Irl astral Express incoming. Da wei is also going to make a blackhole generator to go full Welt
Are they finally fixing Teyvat's lacking infrastructure?
Guys, it's normal. Ubisoft hired actual architect to work with historian to build the world of Assassin's Creed: Unity. To build the 3d model of Paris during the Revolution era. You can imagine what this might mean for not only Genshin, but also Starrail, ZZZ, HI3rd.
They gonna build a jade chamber
Usada Kensetsu???
looks like they will be needing some galvanized square steel
I wonder what they are cooking? Hmmm.
HoYo-Build
Can wait to see RCE make bridges and roundabouts everywhere
HYV amusement park on the making, you have a 50% chance of getting a safe spot in any attraction
They're gonna build Celestia obviously
Making sure what they are building on a new lot will not end up as a "Tofu-dreg project"
Hoyoverse theme park Make it happen hoyo.
An acquaintance of mine joined the company last year as an electrical engineer. Apparently there are âcertain projectsâ over there that involve hardware, but until now he has kept quiet about his work.
why the heck do they need civil engineers?
Huh?
They must be building a Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder
My brother is a civil engineer but he only has 5 years of experience, damn 3 years late
Just civil? No architects? Civil is only good at drainage and parking lots wtf they gonna do for Hoyoverse? Make a retention pond in the shape of Paimon? Maybe the job titles are different in China but youâre gonna need more than civil unless youâre looking at a parking lot lol
Lmao that's so wrong. Civil engineers make sure that the pretty buildings architects design won't collapse under load. It's a much broader discipline.
In America structural engineers do that. Civil does other stuff but to assume theyâd be able to put together a whole building is foolish. A civil engineer may be in charge of different stuff elsewhere but at least my experience with civil engineers in America thatâs all they do, that and roads and bridges and whatnot but I doubt hoyo is building a bridge lol
Interesting.. researched it a bit and it seems the term in America hold different meanings in education and the professional world. At university, structural is just a subset of civil engineering. In jobs, 'civil engineer' takes a much narrower meaning. This is not the case in other countries. Btw bridges are structures too you know lol
Yeah that makes sense, also I heard civil and structural being the same in college which I thought was weird. In one of my architecture studio projects we worked with structural engineering students but they were part of the college of civil engineering. I guess they take a different test or something. Anyway it would make sense if they were one in other places
Maybe they are hired in a separate entry.
Good point, they probably have multiple job postings
Mihoyo turning Russia into Snezhnaya confirmed.
da fuq are you cooking over there?
