Almighty Video Game Designer - Chapter 304
Chapter 304: Chapter 303-rejection
Jin jieguang was excited. Chen Mo’s words were like opening a door for him. His vague concept instantly became clear.
“Then, manager, is there any other way to further simplify the game and eliminate the negative feedback?” he continued to ask tentatively.
“There are some others, like …” Chen Mo suddenly realized something and changed his words,”ahem, I don’t think I need to go into detail, you can probably guess it anyway.”
Jin jieguang saw the unnatural expression on Chen Zhao’s face. Chen Zhao clearly realized that he had said too much.
Jin jieguang didn’t dare to ask again and said,”Yeah, manager, you can do it! League of Legends will definitely sell well!”
Chen Mo wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
Jin jieguang was very excited. He felt like he was a spy who had entered the enemy camp to obtain information that could change the situation of the war.
He had gained a lot from this trip!
Seeing Chen Mo walk away, Jin jieguang quickly took out his notebook and wrote down all the points Chen Mo had mentioned.
After that, Jin jieguang played a few more games of League of Legends and changed a few Champions. He felt that Chen Mo was right.
…
Eliminate negative feedback, simplify operations, enjoy the game to the fullest, and turn this game into a paradise for novices!
Jin jieguang went back to the hotel in excitement. Without even eating, he turned on his laptop and began to write the experience report of League of Legends, ready to record all the gains of this trip without missing a word.
After all, many designers in the industry acknowledged that Chen Mo’s vision was extremely advanced. Even if he couldn’t predict the general direction of the game, he could still use it as a reference!
Jin jieguang’s professional standards were very high. He wrote from 4 pm to 9 pm, and in five hours, he finished the first draft of the experience report.
Not only was it filled with detailed information about his experience playing League of Legends, it also summarized the highlights of the design. Most importantly, he summarized the few sentences that Chen Mo had said and expanded them appropriately, forming a complete report.
Chen Mo didn’t go into details before, he only gave some simple ideas. When Jin jieguang asked if there were any more ways to simplify the game and eliminate negative feedback? Chen Zhao said yes, but he didn’t go into detail.
Jin jieguang was certain that Chen Mo had more ways to simplify the game, so he was also racking his brain.
How should he eliminate the negative feedback?
Yes, cancel the death replay so that the players won’t feel that they’re dead.
Or hide the number of deaths? Hmm, this one’s not bad either!
Jin jieguang wrote all of this in the experience report.
He looked at the experience report, and the more he read, the more satisfied he was.
After going downstairs for some supper, Jin jieguang revised and improved the experience report until he was completely satisfied.
The next day, Jin jieguang rushed to the airport without stopping. He couldn’t wait to report to Lin chaoxu the results of his spying.
……
Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s headquarters.
Lin chaoxu read through Jin jieguang’s experience report several times.
Jin jieguang sat on the side, still unable to hide his excitement.
Lin chaoxu touched his chin with his right hand and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Lin chaoxu said,”when it comes to games, a slight change in one part will affect the whole. Simplifying the content and hiding the data can indeed reduce the difficulty for new players. This will allow more players to enjoy the game. However, it may also create new problems.”
Jin jieguang’s heart turned cold. Could it be that Lin chaoxu didn’t like this report?
“Of course, your report was very well written. It’s worthy of praise.” Lin chaoxu said,”I’ll hand this report to GA and the original author of COG. As for whether he’ll accept it or not, I’m not sure. After all, we’re just an agent company. In the agreement, we have no right to interfere with the design of the game itself.”
“Okay, Mr. Lin!” Jin jieguang quickly nodded.
Clearly, Lin chaoxu was quite satisfied with this report, but first, Emperor dynasty entertainment had no right to change the design of COG. Second, whether the report’s “simplified game” and “hidden data” were correct or not had yet to be verified, so Lin chaoxu still had some reservations about some of the contents of the report.
Jin jieguang hesitated and said,”Boss Lin, actually, even if COG doesn’t adopt it, we can also make a similar one …”
Lin chaoxu glanced at him.”I know. I don’t need you to remind me.”
“Yes, yes.” Jin jieguang quickly nodded.
“Alright, you’ve worked hard on this trip to the capital. You’ve gained a lot. COG is a very important project, so don’t let your guard down. Go back and think about how to operate and promote it. ” Lin chaoxu said.
Jin jieguang left.
Lin chaoxu looked at the experience report a few more times.
In his opinion, some of the content was very reasonable, but some of it was too radical and risky.
In terms of the game experience of League of Legends, Jin jieguang was very detailed, which was worthy of praise.
However, Lin chaoxu felt that the latter part of the game, where Chen Mo planned to update League of Legends, was a bit risky.
However, because Jin jieguang’s experience report was well written, Lin chaoxu couldn’t find any faults. He even felt a little convinced.
Lin chaoxu didn’t dwell too much on this matter. Although the report seemed very reasonable, Lin chaoxu didn’t immediately make a decision. Instead, he got someone to translate it into English and send it to the person in charge of the GA.
Two days later, GA replied, and it was the designer of COG, Clive Lehman, who personally replied, with a paragraph written as such.
“I don’t know how your company’s game is like, but I know that a good game should be rich and colorful. Extreme complexity is the fundamental factor for a game to be fun to play. Most of the so-called ‘simplification’ is just a castration of the game. COG will only become more and more complicated in the future, so it’s absolutely impossible to simplify it. ”
“In particular, your proposal to cancel the scoreboard, not display the number of deaths, cancel the positive and negative CS and equipment system, no experience deduction from deaths, etc. These changes are very absurd to me, so please forgive me for not accepting your suggestions.”
Lin chaoxu sighed and closed the document.
Just as he had expected, GA’s R & D personnel and the original author of COG basically ignored this suggestion. It was obvious that Clive Lehmann thought that he was the designer of COG, while those foreigners on the other side of the ocean were simply making blind suggestions.
Lin chaoxu had encountered this kind of situation many times in the process of working with large foreign factories, so he was not too surprised.
Fortunately, the GA had also reported the current research and development situation, which was smoother than Lin chaoxu had imagined.
After learning that Chen Mo was developing COG’s competitive game, League of Legends, and that it was almost complete, Lin chaoxu was also pressuring the GA to speed up the development.
The answer given by the GA was that they would speed up the progress as much as possible and provide an initial version of COG during the spring Festival.
After all, they didn’t have a holiday for the Spring Festival over there.
