A certificate will be issued to the award-winning designer, and the winning game will be recommended by the official application market for a period of one month.
The inscription is the tour committee, and the time is yesterday.
The format of this announcement is basically the same as the announcement of the last Chinese style game solicitation event, except that the Chinese style game is specific to the Three Kingdoms game.
But what made Chen Mo more concerned about was the design requirements this time.
In addition to the two points of unlimited platforms and themes conforming to the culture of the Three Kingdoms, there are two more special requirements, which must be innovative, and adapt to market needs and adapt to the game characteristics of the Internet era.
Chen Mo read it again and again. Indeed, although these articles seem to be an understatement, they clearly reflect some tendencies of the game solicitation activities of the game committee.
What does it mean to adapt to market demand? Obviously, that means this game must be loved by players and make more money.
What does it mean to adapt to the game characteristics of the Internet era? That is to say, this game is best to be an online game, which can support multiplayer online, and the more people supported, the better.
Chen Mo summarized these requirements, and a few words flashed in his mind: Three Kingdoms, online games, strategy games, krypton gold.
There are many spiritual connotations of the Three Kingdoms, but the most prominent one should be strategy.
The Three Kingdoms is an era when counsellors, generals and lords all shine, and the ingenuity of the classical era is also reflected in various battles.
Such as three visits to thatched cottages, bitter flesh schemes, burning red cliffs, empty city schemes, etc., these are all deeply rooted in the culture of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, some events may have been compiled by posterity and are not true events during the Three Kingdoms period. However, it is undeniable that these stories have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the ancient masterpiece "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
If you don’t have to do RPG or mowing games, you can do it, but if you want to best reflect the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms culture, the best choice is to do strategy games.
Chen Mo began to think about what kind of game to make.
There are indeed many Three Kingdoms games in the previous life, but not many meet the requirements. Some super classic Three Kingdoms games in the past, such as the Three Kingdoms series, are good in all aspects, but the problem is that they are not online games and cannot meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of people to play online together.
What's more, according to the requirements of the game committee, this game has to be "welcomed by the market" and "in line with the characteristics of the Internet era". A stand-alone game means that it can only be sold by shares, and its profitability is far worse. Nor does it meet the characteristics of online games.
Also, Chen Mo is now in the magic city. This time he is not going to return to the imperial capital. He intends to take care of the entire game by himself except for the art resources. If you do a large-scale PC game, it will be relatively laborious.
"Three Kingdoms" is not bad, but Chen Mo thinks it should be classified into the category of board games. Although its gameplay and packaging perfectly fit the content of the Three Kingdoms, it is ultimately limited to the "table" category and cannot show The characteristics of large-scale national wars and contending for the world.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mo had a more suitable game.
Before the production, he was going to call Su Jinyu.
Soon, the call was made.
"Hello? Manager, have you watched the game solicitation activity?" Su Jinyu asked.
Chen Mo: "Well, I saw it."
Su Jinyu: "Then are we not going to participate? Or do we ignore the S1 finals for the time being and go directly to the capital?"
The current time is relatively tight. The finals will not be played until November 5th. If you return to the Imperial Capital to make a game at that time, it is equivalent to one month late, so Su Jinyu asked.
Chen Mo said: "I will come by myself this time, so you can continue to watch the game."
Su Jinyu: "Huh?"
"Well, I can just spend a month to make a mobile game by myself. It's not difficult to do. You don't have to worry about it. I will send all the related art needs to the art team at Imperial City for them to give me. When I produce the material, I will handle everything except art." Chen Mo said.
"Uh, the manager, I, Qian Kun, and Zheng Hongxi are all fine recently, we can help." Su Jinyu said.
Chen Mo smiled: "No, the game to be made this time is not difficult to do. I do something that is easy to do. If you need your cooperation, I will find you again."
"Well then, the manager, then you go on." Su Jinyu forced.
……
Not only Chen Mo, but other designers have also seen this theme game solicitation activity.
"The tour committee has launched a new game solicitation activity? This time it is the theme of the Three Kingdoms."
"The Three Kingdoms Game...It's not easy to do."
"Ah? Why, isn't the Three Kingdoms game the best theme?"
"You don’t understand this. Indeed, any game you wrap with the skin of the Three Kingdoms is even a Three Kingdoms game, but you want to make it well and feature it? It’s too difficult! Because this theme has been made. Rotten~IndoMTL.com~ There are many mediocre works, but few outstanding works!"
"Moreover, this time the game committee has additional requirements, which are required to meet market demand? Online games are better?"
"It's not easy. Think about the Chinese style game last time. The award-winning work was Chen Mo's "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes". With its rich plot and highly free gameplay, no one in China can do it yet. Come out a similar martial arts game. This time I am doing Three Kingdoms, there must be more people participating. I feel that it is difficult to break the siege among so many people!"
"I just want to ask, shouldn't Chen Mo participate this time?"
"Um...I think it should not. "League of Legends" is hot now, and the world finals are also at a critical juncture. He should always be watching the world finals. Besides, His current qualifications should not be rare for the awards of this solicitation event."
"Yes, he has long been an honorary committee member, and his relationship with the tour committee is very good, so there should be no need to fawn on the tour committee."
"That's great. I will feel confident if Chen Mo doesn't participate, and it just so happens that the subject of the Three Kingdoms is the type I am good at. This time I will do it well!"
