Chapter 16

Chen Mo continued: "I think many designers have this problem, that is, Mingming's ability is limited, and the quality of the game can't compete with those B-level and A-level designers, but instead of trying to find other ways, they have to kowtow in terms of the quality of the game, which is stupid."

Lin Mao thought for a moment, "still don't understand."

Chen Mo explained: "we don't need to see each other in this relationship. Let me talk directly. If you are a player, why do you buy this game? "

Lin Mao was shocked for a moment. In his opinion, it was a matter of course, and he didn't even think about it specially.

He thought carefully: "well Quality? Sincerity? "

Chen Mo said: "sincerity is a very empty thing. If a designer is reduced to selling feelings, it can only show two things. One is that he has been brilliant, and the other is that he has basically reached a dead end."

"As for quality, are you a d-level designer who can be as good as a B-level designer

Lin Maozhang opens his mouth, feeling speechless.

Chen Mo continued: "I asked the players why they want to buy, in fact, is asking, what is the gimmick of this game? What's special about it? "

"I don't think your hole is completely open. Take this game for example, there are so many angles for you to consider. "

"One is to take two months to fully expand your existing combat system from the perspective of playing system. There are another 8-15 weapons available and more than 20 monster types."

Lin Mao asked, "but is this too complicated for a mobile game?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "it's not complicated. Do hand games have to be light leisure? I don't think so. You should know that the lighter it is, the harder it is to do it. At this stage, it's better to use too much force than to point to the end. "

"It's very complicated to make the combat system. At least you can write such propaganda words in the propaganda:" you can choose 20 kinds of weapons "," brain burning challenge, can you choose the most appropriate weapons every time "and so on."

Lin Maoruo thinks.

Chen Mo continued: "or the second plan, from the difficulty point of view, directly make the whole game very difficult, and set some completely unexpected mechanism traps."

Lin Mao asked, "totally unexpected?"

Chen Mo pointed to the game screen and said, "for example, it looks like a hillside, but when you step on it, a bunch of spikes will pop up and kill the players. Or here, it may seem like a friendly NPC, but as soon as you go there, it will stab you to death. Skip to talk to him from behind, you will still be stabbed to death. Only by stepping on his head can we step him to the death. "

Lin Mao's mouth is slightly open, with an expression of "and this kind of operation".

"If you use the second method, you can say it's" the most unexpected little game in history ", and the name can also be changed to" Knight's great adventure of Kenda ", and so on," said Chen mo

"There is a third way to think about the plot. For example, you can let players choose different routes or reactions at each node. For example, if you encounter an enemy who has been seriously injured, you can choose to save or not to save, so many choices will lead to different outcomes. "

"You can design 5-8 endings, successful, unsuccessful and unexpected."

"In this way, you can use" eight endings, dozens of choices "," can you pierce the lies, find out the truth "and so on as propaganda words."

Lin Mao felt his chin. It was obvious that Chen Mo's words had too much information. He had to think about them.

Chen Mo is not in a hurry. After eating, Lin Mao will understand the three plans he just said.

What are the most needed designers in the world?

It's a hole in the brain.

Chen Mo's brain hole is not born, but accumulated in another world. In the process of the birth and growing of the game industry, from end game, page game to mobile game, there are a variety of independent games.

Countless game designers are trying to make their own game be noticed by the players and make them obediently take money out of their pocket.

For the game, creativity is always the first thing. The small group of people standing at the top of the pyramid are undoubtedly a group of guys with amazing brain holes. A designer with limited imagination can't develop a game that will fascinate the players.

Of course, creativity is a very mysterious thing. Many laymen who claim to be creative and want to save the game industry, in fact, their so-called creativity is nothing but fantasy. Before the idea becomes a real game, no one can say whether it will succeed or not.

The three schemes mentioned by Chen Mo are very talented in the eyes of people in the world. But in the past life, they are actually the rules that most designers know well. They have been verified by the market countless times and have many successful precedents.

Chen Mo knows that Lin Mao is a real man and he has the best relationship with him, so he gives him a little bit of advice.

However, Chen Mo will not talk about the specific plan. As for what the game can finally look like, it depends on Lin Mao's own savvy.Lin Mao thought for a long time and said, "well, I understand a bit. I feel that what you said is very reasonable. The reason why my game is small is that it lacks a point that can attract many people's attention. "

Chen Mo nodded, "yes."

Lin Mao said, "I see, Chen Mo, your three plans really give me a lot of inspiration. I feel like I have some inspiration. Thank you!"

Chen Mo waved his hand: "it's nothing. I'm just giving you a direction. It's up to you how to get there."

Lin Mao nodded: "well, I have a direction in mind. I thought that 80% of the game had been completed. Now it seems that it is not enough. I will plan the game again when I go back. "

Lin Mao's brows were stretched out. Before, he always felt his game's shortcomings, so he had no bottom in his mind. Now he knows that his game lacks a flash point, a flash point that players can see at a glance!

With this flash point, his game can stand out from countless other games.

Zhao Zihao said in surprise: "Chen Mo, you can! Why didn't you have so many ghost ideas before? It's a sudden enlightenment? "

Chen Mo said earnestly on one face, "it's not enlightenment, it's enlightenment. The night before the design competition, the God of the game gave me a dream and directly passed me a set of treasure book of game design skills. "

Zhao Zihao laughs: "go to you!"

Three people ate and chatted until 10 o'clock in the evening, during which four bottles of beer were added. Three people were slightly drunk at the end of the drink, and chatted almost happily.

Chen Mo himself is not very fond of drinking. Regular drinking is not good for the brain, it will affect thinking and memory. For designers, drinking is not a good habit, so he didn't drink too much.

Zhao Zihao calls a kid to drive for him. Lin Mao is already thinking about how to transform the game.

Some people drive on behalf of Chen Mo, and Chen Mo is more relieved. After two words of exhortation, he watched them leave.

Chen Mo goes back to the experience shop and tidies up his things a little. After receiving the home message from Zhao Zihao and Lin Mao, Chen Mo washes and sleeps.

Tomorrow, we need to think about the new game. Tonight, Chen Mo still needs to have a good rest, cultivate enough spirit and ensure the best mental state.
