Almighty Game Designer Chapter 156: The first is better? (Saturday/17th)
Soon, it wasn't just Dichao Mutual Entertainment, many companies doing card mobile games learned of this news.
After all, Chen Mo didn't even think about keeping it secret, and this thing couldn't be kept secret. The original paintings of his cards were handed over to a specialized art outsourcing company. How could it be possible to guarantee that this news would not go out at all?
As long as this news spreads, it will soon spread in the mobile game circle. After all, Chen Mo is back to do mobile games. This is not good news for all card mobile game designers.
In fact, during the period when Chen Mo left the mobile game circle, other card mobile game designers still lived quite well.
Strictly speaking, it is very moisturizing.
Because at present, the card mobile game in this world is a kind of "rich everyone earns" state, unlike other themed games, you must fight to the death.
Like RPG games and MOBA games, competing products are incompatible with each other. If you have one more player, I will have one less player. It can be said that they are incompatible with each other.
However, card mobile games are different, especially in the early stages of market development. The entire card mobile game market is so large that no one company can monopolize them. Instead, it presents a peaceful and strange scene.
Because the gameplay of these card mobile games is too similar, these designers have no courage to change the core gameplay, so they can only use IP to divide the player group.
You make a Japanese comic theme, I make a popular novel, anyway, everyone eats their own food, and does not affect each other.
It doesn't matter if there is a crash occasionally, just stagger the online time slightly.
Lying down together to make money, isn’t it just beautiful?
This has basically become a kind of unspoken rule. These game companies do not want to monopolize the entire card mobile game market, but they can't swallow it. There is no such dominant card mobile game.
If you want to achieve this goal, you must ensure that the gameplay of this game is completely ahead of other games in the same period, and there must be a super large IP that can cover the widest group of players.
In so many card mobile games, "Beheading the Devil" can barely achieve the latter point. There is really no game that does both.
However, Chen Mo's return has directly muddied the pond.
Many designers talk in private.
"Have you heard that Chen Mo is going to do a card game!"
"What? Is he going to make a sequel to "My name is MT"? It's not possible. The animation popularity is now running out. How can so many diehard fans buy it?"
"No, I heard that it is a Japanese-style gods and monsters. I don't know the specifics."
"What is it, this thing has an IP?"
"Nothing!"
"Nothing to do!"
"How do I know! Who can guess Chen Mo's thoughts?"
"It feels like something is going to happen."
"Who said no? Chen Mo has developed so well on the PC side of the game, and suddenly returned to the mobile game field. This is so special that the words'I want to **** you' are written on his face. !"
"What should I do?"
"Look! What else can I do. Besides, the sky is falling down and the tall man is standing tall, and the one who is most affected must be the "Devil Slaying 2" by the emperor's mutual entertainment."
"Look at the reaction of the emperor's mutual entertainment."
……
Qiu Bin reported to Lin Chaoxu that Chen Mo was doing a card mobile game.
After a brief period of thought, Lin Zhaoxu quickly made a decision.
Promote "Slaying the Devil 2" now! Go online at the fastest speed!
Lin Zhaoxu was not so hesitant and hesitant than Qiu Bin, he knew exactly what this message meant.
This message means that once Chen Mo is ready, this new game is very likely to be another hot item after it goes live, and it will be too bad for Dichao Interactive Entertainment by then!
As the saying goes, it’s better to start first. After launching "Devil Slayer 2", we will gather a group of players first, and further expand the influence of this game through overwhelming publicity. Before Chen Mo's new game is launched, Make enough money.
At that time, even if Chen Mo's new game is very successful after it goes live, the impact on "Blade of Devil 2" will be reduced.
After Lin Zhaoxu's statement, the progress of "Devil Slayer 2" was immediately accelerated.
Arrangement of promotion channels, seed user testing, feedback, function modification... Qiu Bin is also busy, and wants to perfect "Slash the Devil 2" to a level that can be launched in the shortest possible time!
Soon, the overwhelming propaganda of the emperor’s mutual entertainment also came, almost everywhere, various video websites, game websites, major forums, advertising spaces...
Many game media are also publishing articles for promotion in the first time.
The orthodox sequel to "Slaying the Devil's Tribulation, Slaying the Devil's Tribulation 2 is coming soon!" 》
"A phenomenal mobile game adapted from a super popular online novel! 》
"National Card Mobile Game: The Road to the King of Slayer"
Can Kill Devil Jie 2 refresh the monthly flow limit of the card mobile game again? 》
"The orthodox sequel of the first domestic card mobile game will be launched soon! 》
Anyway, there is enough money, and these game media are all frantically touting. After all, the results of "Beheading the Devil" are very good, and it is not too much to praise.
The people who eat melons have all kinds of reactions, but most of them are still looking forward to it. After all, "Slayer" is a relatively successful card game, and the player base is still there.
As for the industry insiders in the mobile game circle, they basically understand that Dichao Mutual Entertainment intends to make enough money before Chen Mo’s new game is launched, and try to avoid Chen Mo’s new game against "The impact.
Everyone sighed with emotion, and Chen Mo had this power to make the emperor's mutual entertainment all retreat!
……
On Chen Mo's side, the progress of Onmyoji is also moving forward.
Shikishen’s line drafts, models, and original scenes are always being released, the plot is also being worked on, and the combat system, numerical architecture and gameplay are also being planned in an orderly manner.
The workload of the game "Onmyoji" itself is not too much. In Chen Mo's previous life, the original team of "Onmyoji" was only 9 people, and programmers were included here.
Actually, both Zheng Hongxi and Qian Kun are fine. After all, this set of card mobile games is relatively mature, so if you have any doubts, just ask Chen Mo.
The main difficulty lies with Su Jinyu, because this is a work that is extremely art-oriented. Su Jinyu is responsible for controlling the art style of the entire game and is too busy.
Chen Mo is also busy. He has to control everything himself. The line drafts of each shikigami will also be published, and the plot summary will also be published. In the end, he has to check the numerical structure. If there is no super accelerator, he It's really too busy.
Actually, Chen Mo was already quite tired when he was working on "Warcraft". It would be busier than now, but after all, he was enthusiastic and motivated at that time, in order to make a game that can be recorded in the history of game development. Chen Mo didn't feel tired for the fine games.
As a result, Chen Mo felt a little tired when he was doing "Onmyoji", mainly because the core gameplay was similar to "My name is MT", and Chen Mo did not have that high enthusiasm.
"After finishing this game, I will have to recruit people crazy, I can't go on like this."
Chen Mo originally wanted to maintain a small team. With more people, communication efficiency will decrease, and many things are inconvenient. But now it seems that he has to recruit people, and he can't do everything himself in the future.
……
Being busy, Zheng Hongxi accidentally discovered the propaganda of "Beheading the Devil 2" by the emperor's mutual entertainment.
As a result, when I look at the propaganda language, even if it promotes "Devil Slayer 2"~IndoMTL.com~ Why did you vaguely step on "My name is MT"?
Qian Kun said indignantly: "Manager, look at what these game media have written about this? "Slashing the Devil" is the number one card mobile game in China? This is absolutely unbearable!"
Zheng Hongxi also said: "Yes, isn't this a game that completely flipped "My name is MT"? As long as the channels are promoted, pigs can fly to the sky!"
Su Jinyu said: "That's right, don't learn well with the manager!"
Chen Mo: "...What is the attitude of the players on the "My name is MT" forum?"
Qian Kun said: "What kind of attitude can you have? Those who are still in "My name is MT" are diehard fans, and they can't scold them anymore. Now there are many players in "Devil Slayer", and they can't be scolded. Ah."
Chen Mo said: “It’s okay, let them go. Anyway, the development of Onmyoji is also very fast. Everyone is doing their own things well. Our game is at most one and a half months later than they are online. Let them Harbin beer for a while."
Qian Kun hesitated: "But, the store manager, there are so many users on the Dichao game platform, would you really not play off the strategy of letting him run 39 meters first..."
Chen Mo smiled: "Worry about what these are doing, and you know how the quality of "Onmyoji" is. Let's put it this way, whether it is "Devil Slayer 2" or any other card mobile game, you can only get " "Onmyoji" crushed. Play off? It doesn't exist."
