Almighty Game Designer Chapter 37: Come by
Chen Mo is reading "Plants vs. Zombies" comments and forum hot posts.
If you want to update the version, the main thing is to see what the players like and want. If a new version is updated, but the player's core demands are not resolved, it means nothing is done.
At this time, Chen Mo noticed that a girl with jeans and a long pony tail came to the door of the experience store, dressed neatly.
"Zhu Yao?" Chen Mo remembered her name.
, this girl is the owner of Zhiyuan Internet Cafe. She has been here before, just when Chen Mo's experience store just opened.
Zhuoyao looked at the first floor of the experience store with some surprise: "Wow, I haven't been here for more than a month, your experience store is so lively! I remember that there was no one in the last time I came here?"
Chen Mo said: "Of course, your Internet cafe can't be open for a month, right? No one is there?"
Zhuoyao is speechless: "You can't say that, can your experience store be the same as an Internet cafe? Hey, it seems that you are doing a good game, so many people play it."
Zhuoyao leaned on the sofa, and Chen Mo poured her a glass of water.
"Last time you said that you would come here another day, it took more than a month to change that day." Chen Mo quipped.
"Hey, don't mention it, there are too many things in the Internet cafe, and I can't leave." Zhuo Yao said, "And recently I am addicted to a small game."
Chen Mo asked: "Indulged in a little game?"
Zhuoyao nodded: "Yes, it's the recently popular "Plants vs. Zombies", you didn't play it? You are a game designer, it's impossible not to pay attention to the new roster?"
Chen Mo said: "Uh... I played."
Zhuoyao Le: "I know, come on, how many levels have been played in the endless mode? I have reached level 97, and I will reach level 100 soon!"
Chen Mo: "..."
Zhuoyao noticed that Chen Mo's expression was a little weird, and thought he was embarrassed that he had too few levels: "It's okay, I can teach you, my own routine is amazing, let you go to the first fifty levels! "
Chen Mo pointed to a computer in the distance. A girl was playing there: "She has hit level 174."
"Ah?!" Zhuo Yao was stunned, what do you mean?
She stood up and looked at the girl. She looked like she was a good girl. She should be a student from a nearby university. How could she be better than staying up all night?
wait a minute!
Zhuoyao didn't pay attention to what games these people were playing when she first entered the door, but now she looked at a few machines and suddenly noticed something.
It seems that the entire floor is playing "Plants vs. Zombies"?
This is an experience store. Generally, only the designer’s own games can be played in the experience store.
Could it be that...
Zhuoyao looked at Chen Mo: "Could it be that the author of "Plants vs. Zombies"..."
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, it is under."
Zhuo Yao was stunned for three seconds, and then suddenly realized: "I am dizzy! You made this game! I also said, why is the logo at the beginning of this game so familiar? It turned out to be seen in front of your store. !"
Chen Mo was speechless: "I said, your forgetfulness is not enough to be forgetful, right? Your internet cafe is on the opposite side of the street, and you can't even remember my logo?"
Zhuoyao was a little embarrassed, and said with a dry cough, "Ahem, well, you also know that our Internet cafes live in Internet cafes all the year round, so... yes."
Chen Mo nodded and echoed: "Yeah, yes."
Zhuoyao laughed "puff": "What is it, forget it, let me teach me the secret of "Plants vs. Zombies"!"
Chen Mo is speechless: "Why are you all like this? If you see me, you will have a secret. There are not many high-quality posts in the player community. Go there and look for it."
Zhuoyao rolled her eyes: "Stingy."
Chen Mo: "..."
How can everything be associated with stingy! It doesn't matter whether I'm being stingy, it's obviously that you are lazy!
Zhuoyao said: "Hey, but then again, I didn’t expect you as a new designer to make such an awesome and explosive game. It’s amazing. Unfortunately, mobile games are not suitable for my website. Coffee promotion."
Chen Mo said: "It's okay, I will do terminal games in the future. By the way, I have not asked, is your Internet cafe mainly a PC game or a VR game?"
Zhuoyao said: "PC. I also want to change to a VR Internet cafe, but the initial investment is too large and there is not so much capital. Now the status of PC Internet cafes is indeed a bit embarrassing, and I have been struggling with this matter for a long time."
Chen Mo said: "Well, I know, the main reason is that PC games are squeezed by VR games, and it seems a little declining."
"That's why." Zhuo Yao was a little helpless, "VR Internet cafes will definitely be the mainstream in the future, and PC Internet cafes are expected to be gradually eliminated."
Chen Mo shook his head: "That's not necessarily true."
Zhuoyao was taken aback: "Why?"
Chen Mo said: "It's very simple. PC Internet cafes are now declining, just because there is no super hot game on the PC side. If the PC side really produces a super hot game that can crush VR games in the future What?"
Zhuoyao's eyes widened slightly: "It's not... possible."
Chen Mo said: "It doesn't appear now, does not mean it will not appear in the future. Before "Plants vs. Zombies" came out, who would have thought that puzzle games would have such a big market?"
Zhuoyao thought for three seconds: "So, you are boasting yourself in disguise, right?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."
Zhuoyao: "..."
Chen Mo said: "This is the truth. I think you can continue to stick to PC Internet cafes. The outlook is not as pessimistic as you think. You see, PCs are overwhelming mobile phones in terms of performance, but mobile games are still alive. Good ~ IndoMTL.com~ The gaming cabin completely overwhelms the PC in terms of performance, and it does not mean that PC games will not work."
Zhuoyao nodded: "It sounds reasonable, so let’s borrow your auspicious words. I hope you can develop a super explosive game on the PC side to save my Internet cafe. When will you start developing? ?"
Chen Mo thought for a while: "About...in two years?"
Zhuoyao rolled her eyes: "Goodbye."
Chen Moyile: "I'm serious."
Zhuoyao: "Goodbye."
It looks like she thought Chen Mo was bluffing her, and she didn't believe it at all.
Chen Mo's remarks are not comforting Zhuo Yao, he really thinks so. Although VR games in this world are mainstream, he doesn't think PC games will be replaced.
VR games are not necessarily the ultimate form of games.
A very simple example, why do MOBA games have a 45-degree perspective of God instead of the first person?
There have indeed been game companies who have tried to make moba a full 3D first person, and it has indeed been made, and the production is also very sophisticated, and even a five-way gimmick (there are two ways above and below the map) , But the final result is unsatisfactory, and the playability is far less than moba.
This game hasn't even made too many waves, and not many players have heard of it.
The reason is very simple. From the perspective of 3D, the screening range and use of many skills have been greatly changed, and the operation mode has also been changed. Players’ ability to control the overall situation is seriously reduced. All kinds of problems are combined. Let this game directly lose some of the core fun of the moba game, making it a "chicken rib" game.
This is one of the most critical factors leading to the failure of "Full 3Dmoba".
