Almighty Game Designer Chapter 81: Interview


  "The players have a heartfelt love for this game. They felt the sincerity I conveyed to them in the game, so they willingly paid for me to support me, hoping that I can make more and better things in the future The game is coming. For this, I always remember the love of the players and dare not slack off at all times. I will definitely develop more fun games to reward everyone."

In the    experience store, Wen Lingwei read aloud the press release of Chen Mo’s interview.

  Su Jinyu: "Spicy eyes! I really didn't look at it."

   Jia Peng: "Manager, will you really not be beaten to death by players like this?"

   Wen Lingwei said: "I advise you to go back to school these days to avoid the limelight, so as not to be affected."

   Chen Mo was speechless: "What's the matter, isn't this well written? Look, every word and sentence are the players' true feelings towards me."

  Su Jinyu: "Manager, are you really afraid of being struck by lightning when you say this..."

   Jia Peng said: "Manager, your shop has a lightning rod installed, right?"

   Chen Mo was speechless: "Okay, everyone is almost done. There is still an interview today. Don't scare the students who come for the interview."

   Jia Peng asked: "Interview? Are you recruiting new people?"

  Chen Mo nodded: "Well, I may have to recruit a plot and a value. Otherwise, I will be the only one who will be busy with large games in the future."

   Wen Lingwei said: "Hey, that means there will be another cute girl soon, right?"

   "Really!" Jia Peng was also energetic.

   Chen Mo was speechless: "What do you think about all day? It's a man."

  Wen Lingwei said: "Man? What did the man call for, rush away."

  Chen Mo: "...Do you want to turn my experience store into a daughter country?"

   Wen Lingwei rolled her eyes: "Don't tell me you don't think so."

   Chen Mo: "...Forget it, don't talk to you, then buddy should be coming soon."

   It didn't take long for Zheng Hongxi to arrive.

   is a pretty young guy, tall and thin, looks quite quiet and polite. Chen Mo shook his hand and led him to the conference room.

   Wen Lingwei said to Su Jinyu: "Well, I changed my mind. This little handsome guy is not bad too."

  Su Jinyu is speechless: "You have a bit of integrity, okay! Who you want to recruit depends on whether you can meet the requirements of the store manager!"

   in the meeting room.

   Chen Mo poured a glass of water for Zheng Hongxi: "This is not a big company. The interview is just to chat, don't be nervous."

   Zheng Hongxi nodded: "Well, I'm not nervous. But I was surprised, you are much younger than I thought."

   Chen Mo smiled: "I have graduated from university for more than a year."

   Zheng Hongxi said: "Then you are one term earlier than me, and I graduated less than a year."

   Zheng Hongxi's resume, Chen Mo has read it before.

   Zheng Hongxi, 24 years old this year, has just graduated from a certain key university in Magic City, majoring in literature. After graduating, I worked for a media company in Magic City for a period of time. I resigned because I didn't like the job and wanted to change careers, but I haven't decided yet.

  There are some personal works. Chen Mo looked through it roughly. The short and medium stories are the main ones. There are various fanarts. In addition to Western Fantasy, he also wrote on the themes of Xianxia, ​​Martial Arts, and Oriental Fantasy.

  The work is not particularly brilliant, but the basic writing and plot ideas are qualified. The most important thing is that there is basically no sense of contradiction regardless of the subject matter. This makes Chen Mo more satisfied.

  Chen Mo asked: "Have you considered what to do next in a career change?"

   Zheng Hongxi said: "I didn’t think too much about it. I personally don’t like the kind of interpersonal relationship in traditional work. I thought about writing full-time online articles before, but my current level is not good enough. It is likely that there is no guarantee of life. The pressure on the family will also be greater."

   Chen Mo asked, "Have you considered playing games?"

   Zheng Hongxi said: "I have considered it. But relatively speaking, the current domestic games don't pay much attention to the plot, and my interest is mainly in the plot."

  Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, then, I have prepared a test question, you can write it as you please."

   Chen Mo finished speaking and took out a printed test question.

   Zheng Hongxi took it over and took a look. There were not many test questions, there were only five questions in total.

   The first question is to design a worldview background and two professions for a fairy-like massively multiplayer role-playing game (MMORPG), and briefly introduce the professional characteristics.

   The second question is to write the names and descriptions of five props for a strategy game with the Three Kingdoms theme. The props are required to be of the same type, and the quality is from low to high.

   The third question is to briefly describe the relationship between Draenor and Azeroth based on the content in the "Azeroth Universe".

   The fourth question is to choose a small event in the "Azeroth Universe" and simply write a task line. No specific task text is needed, just a brief description.

   The fifth question is to write a complete task text, that is, what the NPC says to the player. The outline of the task is as follows: "Fording invites you to retrieve the hammer of Tyran." The character setting follows the relevant content in the "Azeroth universe". It can also be changed, but the character setting needs to be rewritten.

   Chen Mo said: "Don't worry about this, just write slowly. One hour is definitely enough."

   Zheng Hongxi nodded: "Well, enough."

  Chen Mo turned around and went out: "Call me after you have written it."

   Chen Mo walked out of the meeting room, and everyone asked in a low voice: "How about the store manager?"

   Chen Mo said: "It feels okay. I gave him a written test. If the written test is okay, it will be OK."

  Su Jinyu asked: "Huh? What are the written test questions~ IndoMTL.com~ Do you also do it? I'm afraid of hitting you." Chen Mo said.

   Wen Lingwei said: "Goldfish is a tyrant after all, so you look down on people too much."

   Chen Mo said: "Well, then you will show it to you too. Do whatever you want."

   Chen Mo finished speaking and found out the test question on Su Jinyu's computer.

   Everyone finished reading the whole test paper, and then scattered them in silence.

  Su Jinyu looked at Chen Mo speechlessly: "Manager, what is this all? Too difficult, right? I can compile the first and second questions, but what is next?"

  Chen Mo said: "You don’t pay attention to these, of course, it’s difficult. Okay, everyone will go back to each house and find each mother. This shows that you are not suitable for the work of a plot designer."

   Wen Lingwei said: "Well, I'm silent for three seconds for this story."

  Su Jinyu said: "Don't be so pessimistic, maybe he can answer it?"

   Actually, this question by Chen Mo is quite a simple one. It is nothing more than a test of the basic qualities of a plot designer.

   such as prop name, prop description, world view, occupation, task line, task text, these are the basic tasks of the plot designer.

  As a plot designer, the primary ability is to package a game so that the player can feel that it is a complete and self-consistent world, at least not to make the player feel disobedience and affect the game experience.

   As for the advanced ability, it is necessary to coordinate the relationship between the plot and the setting, so that the world view can be integrated with the gameplay, and even some special plot tasks to give players some touch.

   For Chen Mo, now he only requires Zheng Hongxi to reach the first point. As for the follow-up, it can be cultivated slowly.
