Almighty Game Designer Chapter 14: Don’t you want something?


   Just then, Chen Mo's phone rang.

   Chen Mo saw that it was Zhao Zihao, an iron buddy from college who was calling.

  "Hello?"

   Zhao Zihao’s somewhat untuned voice came from the phone: "Chen Mo, you kid, okay, the game design contest champion? It's not enough to tell my buddies, it's too interesting!"

   Chen Mo smiled: "I just settled down, there are too many things. How did you know about this?"

  Zhao Zihao said: "You also asked me how I knew, you are getting hot! The videos of your judges in the competition have been uploaded on the Internet!"

   Chen Mo was speechless: "Huh?"

  Zhao Zihao said: "Go and see by yourself, yes, do you have time at night? After the three of us graduated, we didn’t get together very much. This time you also got the identity of a game designer. Earn an experience store, this is not a treat?"

  Chen Mo smiled and said: "Okay, treat. Then you can call Lin Mao up then."

  Zhao Zihao said: "Okay, then that's the decision. In this way, I will pick up Lin Mao, and then go directly to your experience store, and then we will discuss what to eat. Let's make a decision at four o'clock in the afternoon. Ah."

   Chen Mo said: "Okay, see or leave."

  In the memory of the parallel world, Chen Mo had two very good buddies in college. Three of them were not in the same major, but they all entered the game industry.

  Zhao Zihao is a rich second-generation, and his family seems to be engaged in a traditional industry. Chen Mo doesn't know exactly what the situation is. He just knows that this person is not short of money.

   However, Zhao Zihao is not a game designer. He opened a studio by himself as a game guild. The content includes but is not limited to: leveling, gold making, game channel promotion, etc.

   This company is not too big, but its employees’ salaries are not low, and all of them are good gamers. Those who play poorly will not be charged.

   These employees can basically be regarded as playing games with Zhao Zihao. Other jobs are incidental business, and no one cares whether the company is losing money. Anyway, Zhao Zihao himself is purely driving.

   Some time ago, Chen Mo heard that Zhao Zihao intends to start a club, but he has invested too much, so he has not decided yet.

  Zhao Zihao himself is not very pretentious. He is completely unlike the rich second generation in the traditional concept. He spends his whole day thinking about playing games. When he was in college, he often went to Internet cafes with Chen Mo and others. Lin Mao, another friend of Mo, jokingly called: "The body of the rich second generation, the heart of Diosi."

   And Chen Mo's other buddy, Lin Mao, is a game designer like Chen Mo, and almost got the qualification of D-level designer right after graduating from university, and is now focusing on developing his own independent game.

   Among the three people, Chen Mo is a literature student, Zhao Zihao is a finance student, and Lin Mao is the only one who graduated with a serious game design major.

   The three people have met in a game club at the school since their freshman year, and their relationship has always been very good, and they are also one of the few good friends of Chen Mo in this world.

  ……

   At noon, Chen Mo went around and got acquainted with the surroundings of the experience store, then found a small restaurant and went in and ordered a rice bowl.

   By the way, he took out his phone and read the news.

   As expected, many media outlets reported on the game contest, and many people participated in the comments.

   "The game design contest ended, who will get the 300,000 bonus and experience store? 》

   "A magical bird won the game design contest championship! 》

   "Live Audience: It feels like the most abused game in history"

   "700 viewers 350 hours of game time, this game is poisonous! 》

   "The judges criticized: Is this a game? ! 》

  "Designer: The judges have no objective spirit"

   "The founder of Hengyou.com blows this little game to the sky"

   Chen Mo flipped through the news and basically reproduced the scene of the game, but these media focused on the quarrel between Shi Huazhe and him, apparently wanting to treat this as a gimmick and to stir up this topic.

   There are also live videos, Shi Huazhe’s comment session and Chen Mo’s final speech, which have been played repeatedly, and they are very popular.

  Chen Mo doesn't care about this. For him, it is good for him to have the media to help him. The more players who know him, the lower the user cost for publishing games in the future, and it also saves a lot of publicity costs.

   There is a word in this era called attention economy, which is also applicable to the game industry.

   The richer the information, the more precious the user’s attention. For the same two games, one is not noticed by anyone, and the other game has been heatedly discussed before the release, so even if the quality of the latter is not as good as The former, its income will be much higher than the former.

   If you have a fan group of 5,000 people, and the fans in the group will follow you, then you can count on this fan group to support yourself, whether it is through Taobao stores, game channels or any other means of monetization. It can be done.

  At this time, Chen Mo noticed that a game media published an interview with Shi Huazhe.

   On the screen, Shi Huazhe looked ugly, and said to the camera: "What I said to this player Chen Mo was an advice as someone who came over, but it turned out he was belittling him as me, which is really funny."

  "I still have the same view. The game industry is an industry that requires sincerity and accumulation. This Chen Mo player cannot go far. I think his next game cannot exceed sales in the first month. 100,000."

  Chen Mo smiled, this Shi Huazhe is really a hard-headed duck, anyway, no matter what he is stunned, he will not admit defeat.

   Chen Mo opened Weibo silently.

  His Weibo has been authenticated by his real name, and after he became a D-level designer and the champion of the design competition, this information has also been updated.

   Chen Mo directly reposted the interview on Weibo, and then added a comment: "Don't you want to eat something?" Then @了几家游戏Media’s official blog.

   have to make trouble with me, right? OK, buddy, I'll stay with you to the end!

   After a while, Chen Mo’s Weibo exploded!

   The official blogs of several game media found that Chen Mo actually responded, and they all smelled "making big news" and forwarded them one after another!

   Game Information Network, Tianji Network, WeChat Game Channel...Even an executive from Dichao Interactive Entertainment also reposted it!

   After such a disturbance, a large number of players have noticed this Weibo of Chen Mo!

  "Chen Mo? Is this the champion of that design competition?"

   "Is it me?"

   "It must be~ IndoMTL.com~ You see that there is real-name authentication."

   "Fuck, what is this going to do? Is it going to die?"

   "The young man is very character, I admire you!"

   "What does he mean by that sentence, what does he want Shi Huazhe to eat?"

   "...Upstairs, is your village just connected to the Internet?"

   These players were cheered directly in Chen Mo's Weibo comments.

   Chen Mo’s "Don’t eat something" is actually a stubborn, because there are often predictions on the Internet, and in order to create a gimmick, they often add the sentence "Don’t eat Xiang" or "If I’m not allowed, I will eat the mouse" etc. Wait, there are so many different things to eat, so when you encounter a prediction post, many netizens will reply: "Don't you want to eat something?"

  The meaning of Chen Mo's sentence is very clear: "Shi Huazhe, you said that my next game cannot sell more than 100,000 in the first month. What if it breaks? What don't you eat?"

   Soon, the reposts and replies under this Weibo began to skyrocket, one hundred, three hundred, five hundred!

   Moreover, enthusiastic netizens are still helping @史华哲, it is not too much to watch the excitement.

   Chen Mo is much calmer than Shi Huazhe, and this matter does not make him take it seriously. In fact, Chen Mo is not disgusted with hype. If the hype can bring attention to his next game, why not do it?

   soon, Shi Huazhe replied: "boring!"

   Chen Moyile, Shi Huazhe really didn't dare to gamble.

   In the comments on Weibo, the onlookers sighed, and some people continued to fan the flames, encouraging Shi Huazhe to gamble with Chen Mo, either using a keyboard or a mouse.

   Shi Huazhe simply pretended to be dead and never responded.

   Chen Mo smiled and put his phone away. For him, this is nothing more than an episode, and there is no need to take it to heart.
