Almighty Game Designer Chapter 873: Environmental interaction mechanism


Thirty-nine lucky people are waiting nervously for Chen Mo's arrival in a large conference room at the Thunder Interactive Entertainment headquarters.

These people are all fresh graduates who have been selected by the judges with excellent abilities, and they are also graduates who are qualified to enter Thunder Interactive Entertainment after being screened by Chen Mo.

The majors of these people are different, and the types of games they are good at making are also different, but their faces are filled with excitement and joy.

Being able to enter Thunder Interactive Entertainment as soon as graduating, work with the best designers in China and the world, and jointly develop game works that shocked the world. How can it not be exciting?

Many people are exchanging contact information, and some people have already met during the game design contest.

However, they still have one final test.

Chen Mo will personally ask a question, and this question will determine whether they can go further in Thunder Interactive Entertainment.

If you don’t answer well, you may be assigned to some relatively marginalized R&D project teams. Only those who are particularly satisfied with Chen Mo’s answers are eligible to enter the core and front-line R&D team.

Of course, these marginalized project teams are not necessarily bad, and may even make more money.

In fact, almost every game of Thunder Interactive Entertainment is a boutique game. If a recent graduate is "unfortunately" assigned to a stable operation such as "Glory of the King", "League of Legends" or "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" The online game project team in China, that is still a big hit, maybe the project bonus alone can be enviable to death.

However, these fresh graduates are selected from across the country after all. The acceptance rate is lower than that of TOP2 universities. They came to be the best designers, and they all consider themselves very high. To have such an excellent opportunity, we must definitely strive for it.

Not long after waiting, Chen Mo opened the door and came in.

Everyone knows Chen Mo, so the entire conference room instantly becomes silent. These graduates are all sitting in jeopardy, looking at the young man in front of them curiously.

Well, I finally saw the live Chen Mo!

Real people seem to be younger than the pictures.

And... completely unassuming.

However, there seems to be a very strong aura, or...very strong confidence.

Chen Mo smiled and looked at the people sitting in this large conference room.

"Hello everyone. They all know me and all know the purpose of my coming here, so I will make a long story short."

"First of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully standing out through this game design competition and gaining the opportunity to enter Thunder Interactive Entertainment. In the future, I hope you will not forget your original intention and always maintain your enthusiasm and passion for the game industry. Together, everyone , To make better games for players."

"Although you have all obtained the opportunity to enter Thunder Mutual Entertainment, next, there is one last question. This is my personal test for everyone."

"This topic is not difficult, but it is not easy to stand out. Your time is very short, only three hours."

"Within three hours, write a system design draft in this conference room."

Chen Mo paused and continued: "The students who answered the best will get a very good opportunity: directly participate in the development of my new project."

As soon as the voice fell, the eyes of many people were already shining.

Be able to directly participate in Chen Mo's new project!

It means that the next 3A masterpiece that shocks the world will have its own name in the final list of producers!

Obviously, this is simply a dream for newcomers. Because the R&D teams of large companies and large IPs have relatively fixed personnel in order to ensure R&D efficiency, many companies first ask newcomers to practice on edge projects, and only after they have accumulated a certain amount of experience and are mature and reliable, they will be transferred to core projects.

And this time, everyone has the opportunity to directly participate in Chen Mo's new project?

Even if it's just a soy sauce and a visit to learn, that would be Sansheng's fortune!

Everyone looked at Chen Mo expectantly, wondering what kind of questions he would ask.

Chen Mo looked at the time and asked: "Everyone here, how many people have played "Dark Soul"?"

Almost everyone raised their hands.

Chen Mo nodded and asked: "How many people have cleared the customs?"

This time, less than a quarter of people left their hands up.

Seeing those who didn’t get through, Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand: “It’s okay, this won’t affect my judgment of everyone. Designers are not professional players, as long as the game’s mechanics are understood and thoroughly understood. Now, if you really don’t get used to it, you don’t need to force yourself to be abused. Okay, this is just a small episode. As you all know, "Dark Souls" is made with a Pangu engine, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Chen Mo: "Do you think the combat system of "Dark Soul" is good enough? Is there more room for improvement?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Is there or not?

A large part of the reason why "Dark Souls" can win the game of the year comes from the bonus points of the combat system~IndoMTL.com~ and this combat system even directly affected a large number of later 3A masterpieces, and even produced a new The vocabulary is called "soul fighting." With such a classic fighting system, if you want to find faults, you have to weigh yourself a few pounds, right?

But the answer is that the system is perfect? Chen Mo will definitely not be satisfied.

Seeing that no one dared to say anything, Chen Mo smiled: "Well, I answered for you. The combat system of "Dark Souls" is special enough and very complete. For this game, this battle The system has basically been tapped to the extreme."

He paused: "But...this doesn't mean that there is no room for improvement in soul combat. In another type of game, this combat system can get better."

"I mean, environmental interaction mechanism."

Chen Mo saw that most people were confused and explained: "In the Dark Soul, everyone should have used terrain to kill? For example, Brother Dadao can seduce him and make him jump off the cliff. This is actually a very realistic environmental interaction mechanism."

"In other words, your fighting behavior interacts with the environment, resulting in a result that is beneficial or harmful to you. The Black Soul acquiesces to this method, because the "stumble and fall" is originally a real battle. Thing."

"This kind of environmental interaction mechanism will make the battle in the game appear more real, and also make the ways of winning more diversified."

"Yes, we encourage players to use a variety of methods to win, which is what many people call the stalk:'Despicable Outlander'. Players like this design and will give full play to themselves at this time Ingenuity."

"And this time the title is:"

"Design a unique combat system around the ‘environmental interaction mechanism’." 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit everyone’s reading institute
