## Description

thatgamecompany（TGC）is the development team behind Sky 光·遇. We believe games can reach a wider audience and convey genuine emotions – this belief drives every technical decision we make, from gameplay engines, server architecture, and infrastructure.

+ C++: Gameplay (game logic system design and implementation) and Game Engine (performance optimization and rendering)   + Golang & Python: Back-end Services (server core logic) and DevOps & Infrastructure (cloud cluster management and AI toolchain)

- Week 4: Selection Phase

You and your mentor choose each other based on your interests and goals. We'll try to match you with a suitable mentor.

- After Week 4: In-depth Phase

You'll work on actual projects with your mentor, delivering meaningful results. We'll regularly review progress and encourage you to ask questions and contribute.

**Responsibilities:**

- Participate in gameplay system design discussions and code implementation

- Analyze and optimize game engine performance for better player experience

- Contribute to back-end service feature development, performance optimization, or issue troubleshooting
