Almighty Game Designer Chapter 84: Poker that this world doesn’t have
Chen Mo searched the Internet, and suddenly, he patted his forehead.
"Yes, there seems to be no Texas Hold'em!"
"But, how could there be no Texas Hold'em? This is unscientific!"
Chen Mo had been wondering just now, which game was missing, and finally looked around. There is no Texas Hold'em in this world? Isn't this nonsense?
Chen Mo continued to browse, and even searched many foreign websites, and finally found out, no! There is really no such thing as Texas Hold'em in this world!
"Sure enough, I just felt like I was missing something, there really is no Texas Hold'em!"
"Yes, the last piece of the puzzle of Thunder Chess has finally been found."
Chen Mo was also a little excited. Finally, the framework of the entire board game was complete.
……
Texas Hold’em is not considered a popular game in China. If you only count the number of users, it is not as well known as Doudizhu and Mahjong.
However, Texas Hold'em is extremely popular in some small circles, and the water is incredible.
The founders and CEOs of some large companies in the IT circle, entrepreneurial circle, and investment circle are extremely enthusiastic about Texas Hold'em, such as Li Kaifu, Liu Chuanzhi, Ma Yun, etc., are all enthusiasts of Texas Hold'em.
In the world, Texas Hold'em can be said to be popular all over the world, especially in the United States. If someone says he plays poker, then he is mostly playing Texas Hold'em.
In the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the prize money of Texas Hold'em tournaments, the first prize even reached 10 million U.S. dollars, once a chef from Sweden won the championship and became rich overnight.
Many people may be very puzzled. Why is Texas Hold'em so attractive?
If you can summarize the difference between Texas Hold'em and other poker in one sentence, it is: Texas Hold'em is a poker game with stable profits.
Yes, it sounds more imaginary, but it is true.
Other chess and card games, such as Doudizhu, Mahjong, and Jinhua, all have strong gambling properties. Technology is very important, but luck is more important. If fighting landlords or mahs is a career, profit and loss depend largely on luck, which is tantamount to gambling.
The characteristic of gambling is that long-term gambling must be lost, and no one can guarantee that this thing can maintain stable profits.
But Texas Hold'em is a game that can maintain a stable profit. If you keep losing in Texas Hold'em, it can only prove one thing: You are too food.
In foreign countries, there are many professional players of Texas Hold'em, like PhilIvey, who won 24 championships in various events, made more than 100 money circles, and won a total of more than 20 million dollars in prize money throughout their career. .
In China, there are also many professional Texas Hold'em poker players with a stable monthly income of around 100,000. For various reasons, the promotion of Texas Hold'em in the country is limited, but even so, the number of domestic Poker players is as much as 60 million.
Why is Tepo a game with stable profitability? Because the rules of German poker are more complicated than most poker games, you can choose to quit at any time, or you can make crazy raises to double your stack.
Also, when playing poker, you can judge the opponent's hand based on the opponent's behavior (raising, tie, etc.) and use different strategies to play.
German poker is not like fried gold flower, fried gold flower depends entirely on hand cards, you will win if you get a super hand, but the final win or lose of German poker depends on five community cards. In theory, even yours The hand is the smallest difference of 27, and it is also possible to win the largest hand pair of Aces.
To play German poker, you need to be good at probability calculations, good at hiding your facial expressions, knowing how to guess their hands through the opponent's behavior, and maintaining a good attitude. The proportion of luck in winning or losing can be said to be minimized.
Like a master playing with a rookie, maybe every hand of a rookie is better than a master, but it is not an exaggeration that a master can beat the rookie to a breakdown by playing psychology.
Like games like Fighting Landlords and Mahjong, a rookie may win a hand or two by virtue of luck, but in Texas Hold'em, a rookie will never have this opportunity.
……
The big frame was determined, and Chen Mo began to write design documents.
The rules of the board game are relatively clear and simple. It is much faster than "My name is MT". This time Chen Mo intends to roughly complete "Thunder Game Platform" and "Thunder Chess" within one month, and then use Adjust within a week, and then go online directly.
the next morning.
Chen Mo sent a design outline to Su Jinyu.
" The outline is written, you can add the specific rules, and you don’t need to move anything related to the plot. When Zheng Hongxi comes, let him take charge. You two will do this game together, which is equivalent to testing his plot design ability "Chen Mo said.
Su Jinyu received the document sent by Chen Mo. What surprised her was that the design document was so small that it only contained one or two hundred words.
"Lifeline? Text adventure game?" Su Jinyu asked in surprise.
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it's mainly for you and Zheng Hongxi to practice hands. I have already marked out a few points that need to be paid attention to in the document~IndoMTL.com~How much can this game do? , It’s up to you two."
Su Jinyu said: "But, the manager, this game looks too simple, right?"
Chen Mo smiled: "Simple games can also be done very well, don't look at the best. You can think about adding a few more ways to play under this framework."
Su Jinyu nodded: "Well, good. I see."
After handing over "Lifeline" to Su Jinyu to design, Chen Mo put all his thoughts on the Thunder Game Platform and Thunder Chess.
"Lifeline" is a text adventure game. Chen Mo also wants to use this game to train Zheng Hongxi to test his plot design ability.
When both "Thunder Chess" and "Lifeline" are finished, Chen Mo is about to start planning the first large-scale game.
……
In the next two days, Chen Mo focused on refining the design documents.
The three products on Thunder Chess, Happy Landlord, Happy Mahjong, and Thunder Poker (that is, Texas Hold'em in the previous life), the user groups of these three are not completely overlapped, so we have to make three different games. It's just that many of the art resources of these three games are universal, such as character appearance, prop icons, playing cards and so on.
For these resources, Chen Mo directly threw them to the outsourcing company. Because there are also chess and card games in the parallel world, these resources are all over the floor, and you can use them as you like. You don’t need to be too demanding on the quality of art. Therefore, Chen Mo’s only requirement is to be fast. It must be within two weeks All the art resources are sold out.
And Chen Mo's main work in the design of chess and card games is focused on two aspects. One is to refine the relevant rules of the novice guide, and the other is to make a set of rules for the playing field that other chess games do not have.
