Chen Mo explained: "I mean, your thinking is too limited. These two design proposals basically don't have any innovative points, they just expand the outline I wrote a little bit."
"Uh..." Su Jinyu was a little confused.
When Chen Mo handed her the document outline before, he did mention "do more of your own design", but Su Jinyu didn't take it too seriously.
The assistants of game designers, in most cases, do some repetitive tasks, and many designers are straight-talking, and don't like assistants to make changes to their designs, even if it is fine-tuning.
Therefore, Su Jinyu just honestly expanded Chen Mo's design document according to the outline, without adding any ideas of his own.
The result was just the opposite, Chen Mo hoped that she would design according to her own ideas.
Chen Mo said: "It's okay, I'll give you another three days. Remember, I want to see your own thoughts."
Su Jinyu nodded sharply: "Well, yes!"
Back on the first floor, Su Jinyu continued to think hard.
After Su Jinyu left, Chen Mo read her design document twice.
Indeed, the basic skills are solid, and logical thinking is good, but the biggest problem is the lack of spirituality. Now Su Jinyu is only qualified for the role of an executive, but wants to become a qualified designer? Not even close.
Very persistent, willing to endure hardships, comprehensive abilities, but lack of inspiration, this is Chen Mo's current evaluation of Su Jinyu.
It may be due to her long-term thinking inertia, or it may be due to her personality.
Of course, Chen Mo could just use Su Jinyu as an assistant and let her fully take on the job of an executor, but in that case, Su Jinyu would gain very little growth.
A personality like Su Jinyu's is more than rigorous but lacks brains, so Chen Mo still needs to call her appropriately, at least in a few months to train her into a more comprehensive designer, so that Chen Mo himself can save more money. much energy.
…
Su Jinyu was racking her brains every day to revise the design plan.
Second draft, improved, but still substandard.
The third draft, with one or two bright spots.
For the fourth draft, Chen Mo finally nodded.
"Well, although there is still some difference from what I expected, but I am qualified." A smile appeared on Chen Mo's face.
Su Jinyu beamed with joy: "Really? That's great!"
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it's been hard work, let's take a rest. I'll revise it tonight, finalize it, and send it to you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you manager!" Su Jinyu left work happily.
Su Jinyu spent nearly two weeks writing these four draft design documents, and Chen Mo was finally satisfied.
In fact, what Chen Mo cares about is mainly some bright spots in the design plan. If it is a design without bright spots, even if Chen Mo passes it, the players will not pass it.
Chen Mo could tell that Su Jinyu had racked his brains to come up with several ideas in the fourth draft, and if she was asked to think about it, there might not be a better plan.
And the time has been delayed for a long time. Chen Mo originally planned to complete the development in two weeks, but now it has exceeded the time limit. Procrastination will affect the progress of the next game, Chen Mo doesn't have so much time to wait.
Chen Mo turned on the computer and found the design document he had written.
In fact, while Su Jinyu was revising the design document over and over again, Chen Mo had already written one himself. However, Chen Mo didn't want his thoughts to affect Su Jinyu, so he didn't tell her.
Comparing the two design documents, the design document that Su Jinyu revised several drafts immediately looked horrible, from the interface ui to the specific functions, it was completely crushed.
Referring to Su Jinyu's document, Chen Mo added the better design plan in his document part by part, and made notes to explain his design intention.
Chen Mo completely followed Su Jinyu's design plan for some things that could be changed or not.
It was changed until midnight, and it was finally finished. Chen Mo checked the compiled version update documents, and there was no major problem.
Because this update is still based on the game framework of "Plants vs. Zombies", there is no need to generate a new project, just modify the original project.
…
Early the next morning, the experience store opened on time.
Chen Mo yawned, and said to Su Jinyu, "I sent you the revised design document. You can update the content to "Plants vs. Zombies" in the editor according to the relevant rules."
"Well, okay." Su Jinyu nodded.
Chen Mo was still a little sleepy, so he went straight back to the second floor to sleep in the cage.
Su Jinyu turned on the computer and checked the design document that Chen Mo had modified.
"... so much has changed!"
Su Jinyu was shocked. The design document sent by Chen Mo was more than twice the size of her previous design document. Looking carefully at the details in the design document, almost 70% of the content in it had been changed.
However, Chen Mo did not delete Su Jinyu's previous plan, but directly inserted the revised plan in the middle, and noted the revision comments.
"Severe, powerful..."
Su Jinyu flicked through the revisions one by one in shock, basically flipped through all the interfaces, and changed a lot of functions.
Su Jinyu read it while making it in the editor, feeling that what she had written before was a fake design document.
"The store manager is really amazing. He changed so many things in one night? This kind of work efficiency is really terrible!"
Su Jinyu's respect for Chen Mo increased a bit.
Actually, these were written by Chen Mo in advance...
…
A week later, the new version of "Plants vs. Zombies" is officially updated!
After the new version was made, Chen Mo first updated it to the computer in the experience store, played with Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng for a few days, and corrected a few minor errors.
When Chen Mo felt that there was basically no problem, he submitted it to the application market.
Soon, the players of "Plants vs. Zombies" discovered that there was an update package of more than 40 m in the game, and they downloaded it one after another.
"Huh? "Plants vs. Zombies" has been updated?!"
"The stand-alone game is still updated, conscience!"
"That's awesome, what's new this time? Are there new plants or zombies?"
"Look at the update description, there are developer tools and a multiplayer mode!"
"I'm going, is this going against the sky? I'll go and have a look!"
Players downloaded it at the first time, and the major player communities of "Plants vs. Zombies" were also fried, and they were all discussing this completely unexpected version update.
Generally speaking, this kind of stand-alone game is rarely updated, because the updated version cannot be charged twice, so most designers are unwilling to do such unrewarding things.
Moreover, "Plants vs. Zombies" has been online for less than two months, and it is quite popular now. Although the first batch of players are a little tired of playing, new players are still pouring in.
Now update the version, a bit too aggressive!
