Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 307: Decline the offer

Views:

Jin Jieguang was excited for a while, what Chen Mo said was like opening a door to him, and the concept that was originally vague became clear in an instant.

He tentatively continued to ask: "Then, store manager, is there any other way to further simplify the game and eliminate negative feedback?"

"Others, there are some, such as..." Chen Mo had just finished speaking, when he suddenly realized something, and changed his words, "Ahem, I don't need to go into details about this, anyway, you can probably guess it."

Jin Jieguang saw some unnatural expressions on Chen Mo's face, obviously Chen Mo realized that he had talked too much.

Jin Jieguang didn't dare to ask any more, and said, "Well, come on, store manager, "League of Legends" will definitely be a hit!"

Chen Mo hesitated to speak, but in the end he turned around and left without saying anything.

Jin Jieguang was very excited. He felt like a spy who went deep into the enemy's camp to spy on information, holding a piece of information that could change the situation of the battle.

This trip has been fruitful!

Seeing Chen Mo walking away, Jin Jieguang quickly took out his small notebook and wrote down all the points Chen Mo said before.

After that, Jin Jieguang continued to experience a few games of "League of Legends" and changed a few heroes. He felt that what Chen Mo said was indeed reasonable.

Eliminate negative feedback, simplify operation, enjoy the fun of the game, and make this game a beginner's paradise!

Jin Jieguang returned to the hotel with excitement, and didn't even bother to eat. He turned on his laptop and began to write an experience report on "League of Legends", intending to record all the gains of this trip verbatim.

After all, many designers in the industry recognize that Chen Mo's vision is extremely advanced. Even if the general direction he speculates cannot be accurately predicted, it will definitely have a certain reference value!

Jin Jieguang's business level is still very good. From four o'clock in the afternoon to nine o'clock in the evening, he wrote the first draft of this experience report in more than five hours.

It not only wrote in great detail about his various intuitive feelings of playing "League of Legends", but also summarized many design highlights. The most important thing is that he also summed up the few scattered words Chen Mo said , and moderately expanded to form a very complete report material.

Chen Mo was actually a little vague before, but simply mentioned some design ideas. When Jin Jieguang asked, is there any other way to simplify the game and eliminate negative feedback? Chen Mo said yes, but did not elaborate.

Jin Jieguang was very sure that Chen Mo should have more ways to simplify the game, so he was also racking his brains to think about it.

How to eliminate negative feedback

Well, cancel the death replay, so that the player does not feel that he is dead.

Or hide the number of deaths? Well, this one is not bad either!

These contents were all written by Jin Jieguang in the experience report.

He looked at the experience report, and the more he read it, the more satisfied he became.

After going downstairs to eat some supper, Jin Jieguang revised and perfected the experience report until he was completely satisfied.

The next day, Jin Jieguang rushed to the airport non-stop. He couldn't wait to report to Lin Zhaoxu the results of his spying on the military situation.

Emperor Interactive Entertainment Headquarters.

Lin Zhaoxu carefully read Jin Jieguang's experience report several times.

Jin Jieguang sat on the side, still unable to hide his inner excitement.

Lin Zhaoxu touched his chin with his right hand, lost in thought.

After a while, Lin Zhaoxu said: "Games are a thing that affects the whole body. Simplifying the content and hiding data can indeed reduce the difficulty of getting started for novice players and allow more players to enjoy the fun, but it may also cause new problems. .”

Jin Jieguang felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that Lin Zhaoxu didn't like this report

"Of course, your report is well written and deserves praise." Lin Zhaoxu said, "I will submit this report to GA and show it to the original author of cog. As for whether he will accept it or not, we can't say for sure. After all, It’s just an agency company, and in terms of the agreement, it has no right to intervene in the design of the game itself.”

Jin Jieguang nodded quickly: "Alright Mr. Lin!"

Obviously, Lin Zhaoxu is quite satisfied with this report, but firstly, Dichao Huyu has no right to change the design of the cog, and secondly, whether the direction of "simplifying the game" and "hiding data" mentioned in this report is right or not? It needs to be verified, so Lin Zhaoxu still has reservations about some of the contents of the report.

Jin Jieguang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Boss Lin, even if cog doesn't adopt it, we can make a similar one..."

Lin Zhaoxu glanced at him: "I know this, I don't need you to remind me."

Jin Jieguang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."

"Okay, this trip to the imperial capital has worked hard for you, and it has been very rewarding. The cog project is very important, don't take it lightly, and think about how to operate and promote it when you go back." Lin Zhaoxu said.

Jin Jieguang backed out.

Lin Zhaoxu read the experience report several times.

In his view, some of the content makes sense, but some of the content is too radical and risky.

In terms of the game experience of "League of Legends", Jin Jieguang wrote very meticulously, which is very commendable.

But regarding the latter paragraph, Chen Mo's plan for the future revision of "League of Legends", Lin Zhaoxu felt a little risky.

However, because Jin Jieguang's experience report was well written, Lin Chaoxu couldn't fault it, and even felt a little overwhelmed.

Lin Zhaoxu didn't get too entangled in this matter. Although the report seemed very reasonable, Lin Zhaoxu didn't make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked someone to translate it into English and sent it to the relevant person in charge of GA.

Two days later, GA replied to the letter, and it was Laman Clive, the designer of the cog, who wrote it in person.

"I don't know how your game is, but I know that a good game should be rich and colorful. Extreme complexity is the fundamental factor for a game to be fun. Most of the so-called 'simplification' are just castrating the game. That's all. Cog will only become more and more complicated in the future, and it is absolutely impossible to simplify it."

"Especially your suggestion that you want to cancel the scoreboard, not display the number of deaths, cancel the positive and negative make-up and equipment system, and the death does not deduct experience, etc. These changes are very absurd in my opinion, so for your suggestion Forgive me for not accepting it."

Lin Zhaoxu sighed softly and closed the document.

As he expected, the developers of GA and the original author of cog basically ignored this suggestion. Obviously Raman Clive thought that he was the designer of cog, and those foreigners who were far away across the ocean were simply I'm making nonsense comments.

Lin Zhaoxu has encountered this kind of thing many times in the process of cooperating with foreign manufacturers, so it is not too surprising.

Fortunately, GA also reported the current research and development status, which was smoother than Lin Zhaoxu imagined.

After learning that Chen Mo is developing cog's competing game "League of Legends" and has roughly completed it, Lin Zhaoxu is also putting pressure on GA to speed up the development progress.

The answer given by ga is that they will speed up the progress as much as possible and give an initial version of cog during the Spring Festival.

After all, they don't have a holiday for the Spring Festival.
