Chapter 225： Controversy over the concept draft (four more)

In the studio, everyone is looking forward to Chen Mo's new game concept draft.

Although the previous building blocks played very well, most people still don't understand why Chen Mo wants them to play LEGGO blocks, and they don't know what the building blocks have to do with the new games.

What's more, Chen Mo has revealed more or less before, and this time he is going to do VR games. Many people think that Chen Mo will use Azeroth's world view, or "Dark" world view to do a VR platform RPG, but after playing with the blocks, they are confused.

How to connect blocks and new games?

On the projector screen, the document title appears: "My World" design concept draft.

This time, the content is even simpler than Diablo, and it will be finished in ten minutes.

The main points are actually three, one is the inner rules of the game, the other is external packaging, and the third is derivative gameplay.

Intrinsic rules include generation rules for the entire world, player acquisition and construction rules, day and night loops, survival mode blame, production prop rules, and more.

External packaging is mainly about how to package the squares better and let the players connect with the real things.

Derivative gameplay is some special gameplay in the late game, such as survival mode, construction mode, multiplayer connection and so on.

"Probably these things, do you have any questions?" Chen Mo looked at the reaction of everyone.

Everyone looks at each other and has the same expression on their faces: "Just this? Are you afraid of teasing me?"

Zhou Hanyu coughed twice and said: "That, I think this concept draft has no problem, it is very clear. It is mainly "My World" as a VR game, is it a bit... too simple?"

Zheng Hongyi nodded: "I also feel that this game has no plot at all, and the numerical setting is also extremely simple. Its complexity is not so much compared with "Diablo", it is far worse than "Warcraft"."

Zhou Hanyu added another sentence: "Yes, and the requirements for art, is it too low? Now the VR games are trying to reproduce the truth, and I can't wait for the hair to be made. Our game, according to the current settings. I am afraid that even having five fingers is a little difficult."

Qian Wei said: "I think, whether the core fun of this game can support its sales is still open to question. Playing with blocks is really fun, but first of all, there must be drawings. If there are a lot of parts, let us freely fight, then there are How many people can do the store manager? At most, they will spell out a bunch of monsters with spicy eyes."

Su Yuyu also said: "Yes, I also think. The main players who like to exert creativity and freely study in a completely unrestricted world can account for the total number of players? And the group of VR games is relatively small. ”

Very rare, almost all the creative staff have raised some questions about this concept draft.

Although Su Yuyu and Zheng Hongyu have very much trust in Chen Mo, it is also based on the premise that Chen Mo's design philosophy does not seriously deviate from their common sense.

Obviously, the "My World" design concept draft is a far cry from their "Thunder and the first VR game."

Chen Mo smiled, he did not care about everyone's doubts about this design.

After all, Chen Mo spent so much effort to train these three assistants to have independent thinking ability, in order to enable them to have independent thinking, have their own views on the game, and not become a brainless performer.

Today, these people have raised questions that they all have their own thoughts. This is a good phenomenon.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and asked: "How do you feel about "Famine"?"

Everyone stunned, Su Yuyu replied: "Well... the gameplay is great, the sales are good, and it's a type that is both good and good."

Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask: "Where is the secret of the success of famine?"

Su Shiyu thought for a moment: "Well... it simulates the player's need for survival, rich gameplay, and sandboxing allows players to explore and create freely."

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, in fact, in the final analysis, the secret of the success of "Famine" is that it is a sandbox game, and it highlights the concept of 'survival'. Is its art quality high?"

Su Yuyu: "...not high."

Chen Mo asked: "So, is there a plot in "Famine"? Is there a numerical depth? Is the novice guidance perfect? ​​Can you guess its sales before it goes online?"

Everyone looks at each other.

Chen Mo continued: "It has no plot, no numerical depth, and almost no newbie guidance. Before going online, everyone thought it was a niche game. No one can guess that it can get more than four million sales. What does it mean?"

"This shows that sandbox games don't require a plot, don't need numerical depth, and don't require too many newbies. Sandbox games require freedom, and for freedom, you can sacrifice everything."

"Pixel wind is to sacrifice everything for freedom."

Chen Mo paused and looked at the reaction of everyone.

Everyone is thinking about the meaning of Chen Mo’s words.

Chen Mo continued: "What is the minimum particle size of LEGGO blocks? The side length is 7.8 mm, the height is 9.6 mm, and the volume is controlled within 1 cm3."

“Why is this size? Because it is smaller, the stitching is difficult. If it is bigger, it will not show enough detail. Therefore, the size of the LEGGO building block, taking into account the operability and expressiveness, is calculated by the designers. Optimal solution."

"Similarly, if we want to allow players to create freely in the game "My World," we must also balance operability and expressiveness."

"And this will lead to an inevitable result, that is, the pixel wind. Remember the dog I used to build with Lego bricks, that is the product of a pixel wind, so our game can only do this."

Having said that, most people have already understood the meaning of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's design idea is this. First of all, this is a sandbox game similar to building blocks, so it can only be a pixel wind, and Chen Mo believes that as long as the creative gameplay is enough, other such as art, numerical, plot The gameplay is not important.

Under the guidance of this design idea, this design concept draft was only available.

The meeting room was quiet for a while, and everyone was thinking about what Chen Mo had just said.

Su Shiyu nodded: "Hey, I understand, the store manager. Since you have already thought about it, then I support this plan."

Qian Qian also said: "OK, then let's try it! I feel that as long as I can make the fun of building blocks, it is still very fun!"

Zhou Hanyu said: "Although it is still not at ease, however, I will consider how the pixel style of the art is displayed. This game is a pixel wind, and it will definitely be the best pixel in the world."

Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, everyone, this game will never let you down."
