Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 16: Some of the Game Designer's Almighty ideas

"Chen Mo continued: "I think a lot of designers have this problem, which is that the ability is limited, the quality of the game can not compete with b-level and level designers, but they do not think of other methods. Instead, they should be iron. It's too stupid to die in the quality of the game. "

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

Chen Mo explained: "We don't need to look at this relationship. Let me talk a little. If you're a player, why would you want to buy this game?"

Lin Mao took a moment and it seemed to him that this was a matter only, and he had not even considered it in particular.

He thought about it carefully: "Yes ... qualified? Sincerity?"

Chen Mo said: "Sincerity is a very virtual thing. If a designer falls for selling his feelings, then he can only explain two points. First, he's brilliant. Second, he's basically deadlocked."

"While for quality, you are a d-level designer, the quality is broken, can you compare it to a b-grade designer?"

Lin Mao opened his mouth and felt nothing to say.

Chen Mo continued: "I asked the players why they wanted to buy. In fact, they ask, what is the ruse in this game? What's so special?"

"I don't think your brain hole is completely open. Just take this game for a few angles for you to consider."

"One is to be considered of the gameplay system. It would take another two months to fully double the existing combat system. There are 8 to 15 weapons available and more than 20 types of monsters."

Lin Mao wondered: "But is this too complicated for mobile games?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "It's not complicated. Should mobile games be casual light? I don't think so. It is necessary to know that the lighter the harder it is to do, the harder it is at this stage, and not too strong."

"It's very complicated to make a combat system. At least when you advertise, you can write a slogan like this: '20 types of weapons to choose from ',' burning brain challenges, can you choose the most appropriate weapon at all times? ' Wait. "

Lin Mao pondered.

Chen Mo continued: "Or second choice, in terms of difficulty, it is very difficult to make the whole game live, and set some completely unexpected institutional traps."

Lin Mao asked: "Is it really unexpected?"

Chen Mo pointed to the game screen and said: "For example, this seems like a hill, but when you step on it, you will suddenly throw a lot of spikes to kill players. Or here, it looks like it's a friendly npc, but you go It'll kill you with a knife. Jumping and talking to him from behind, would still be killed. Only stepping on him could kill him. "

Lin Mao's mouth slightly enlarged, and a pair of expressions "had this kind of operation".

Chen Mo said: "If you use the second method, you can say that this is the 'most unexpected little game in history', the name can also be changed to 'knight hole adventure', too', and the next."

"There is still a third idea, given the plot, for example, you can let the player choose a different route or react on each node. For example, if he met an enemy earlier, he was seriously injured, you can choose to save or not save, so Many options lead to different endings. "

"You can design 5-8 endings, successes, failures, and unforeseen."

"In this case, you can use the 'eight great endings, dozens of choices', 'whether you can penetrate the lie, find out the truth', etc as a slogan."

Lin Mao touched his chin. Clearly, Chen Mo's message was too much information. He should think about it.

Chen Mo did not hurry, ate the dishes, and waited for Lin Mao to understand the three choices he had just said.

It's a brain hole.

Chen Mo's brainhole was not born, but was accumulated in another world. In the process of birth and growth of the gaming industry, from the final tour, page tour to mobile games, there are also various independent games.

A number of game designers are thinking of making their games visible to the players, which allows the players to take money out of their pockets.

For games, creativity is always first. The little man standing on top of the pyramid was undoubtedly a group of extraordinary men. An imaginative designer cannot develop a game that fascinates players. .

Of course, the idea of creativity is very mysterious. Many lay people who claim to be creative and want to save the gaming industry, in fact, their so-called creativity is just a fantasy. No one can assert whether it will work until the idea becomes a real game.

The three programs that Chen Mo said were very genius ideas in the world, but in the past, these were actually rules that most designers knew, and had been verified by the market several times. There are many examples of success.

Chen Mo knew that Lin Mao was a real person and his best friend, so he would give him a little.

However, Chen Mo would not go to any specific plan, so far, as far as the game could finally be made, it depended on Lin Mao's own understanding.

Lin Mao thought for a long time and said: "Yes, I understand a little. I'm sure you make a lot of sense. The reason why my game is special is because there is a lack of points that can attract a lot of attention."

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."

Lin Mao said: "I understand, Chen Mo, all three of your programs have really given me a lot of inspiration, I feel like there is some inspiration, thank you!"

Chen Mo waved his hand: "No, no effort, I just give you directions, how to go or see your own hand."

Lin Mao nodded, "Well, I have a direction in my heart. At first I thought the game was 80% complete%. Now it doesn't seem like enough. When I get back, I'll re-plan the game."

Lin Mao's tight brows stretched. He has always felt the lack of his game, so he has no heart. Now he knows that his game has no flash point, a flash point that players can catch a glimpse of!

With this bright spot, the game can stand out in a myriad of games.

Zhao Zihao was surprised: "Chen Mo, you can! How do you feel that you have so many ideas before, these suddenly opened up?"

Chen Mo said with a serious face: "It is not open, this is enlightenment. The night before the design competition, the game god gave me a dream and directly passed me a set of game design skills."

Zhao Zihao laughed and said: "Go to you!"

Three people ate and chatted, and they ate until 10 p.m., during the period, added four more beers, and the three people were a little surprised at the end, and they talked about it.

Chen Mo himself did not like to drink alcohol. Drinking alcohol is not good for the brain. This will affect thinking and memory. It is not a good habit for designers to drink alcohol, so they do not drink too much.

Zhao Zihao was called to find a younger brother to encourage him, Lin Mao had already constantly understood how to change the game at the moment.

Someone on behalf of the drive, Chen Mo was also more assured, after two sentences, they watched them leave.

Chen Mo went back to the experience shop and took out more of his belongings. After receiving information from Zhao Zihao and Lin Mao, Chen Mo went to sleep.

Tomorrow, we also have to consider a new game. Tonight, Chen Mo still had to rest, to awaken his spirit and ensure the best mental state.
