Game Designer

Chapter 3 – A simple and impressive game

Chapter 3 – A simple and impressive game

There are some mathematical knowledge that flashed through Chen Mo’s mind and became part of his memory. Chen Mo felt that his numerical ability seems to have gotten stronger.

“It really is good for my numerical ability if I have another 100 books. Buying 100 books will cost me 1 million yuan, not…not expensive at all? Damn, it sounds like a robbery?”

“You think I’m a fool to buy a property for 10,000 yuan?”

“Calm, Calm.”

“The money isn’t a big deal. If I could really make a popular game with a monthly income of millions, it would be enough for me to use on the bracelet to draw for a while.”

Chen Mo comforted himself while he continued to click the 【 Draw 】 button.

“Clack”, green.

“Clack”, green.

“Clack”, green.

…….

Chen Mo wanted to curse out.

Chen Mo draw four times with 400,000 points, and he got four green Designer Skill books.

Damn, if this is converted to cash, it’s worth 40,000 yuan!

With only 197,340 points left, it is enough to draw one last time.

Of course, there is a very close 【 Recharge 】 button next to the turntable. Chen Mo turned it off after looking at it for 0.5 seconds.

Recharge 10 points for 1 yuan. No discounts, and not even a double points recharge event for the first-time recharge.

“f*****g greedy, even Tencent games are not so greedy as you.”

Chen Mo needs 3,000 points to fill up the remaining points, which is more than 300 yuan, but Chen Mo can’t even afford to eat rice. Chen Mo really doesn’t want to spend 300 yuan.

“This is the last time, I will stop if I can’t get it. The worst case is that I won’t be able to participate in this game design competition. I will design a game next month and I’ll still be qualified as a D-class designer.”

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and clicked the last 【 Draw 】 .

His mouth said no but his body was still very honest, Chen Mo felt his heart pounding and his hands trembling.

At this point he somewhat understands the mentality of those who quit gambling, and if a green book comes to him, he really wants to walk on the rooftop and commit a suicide.

“Clack”, the turntable stopped.

Purple Area! 【 Special Props 】 !

Chen Mo suddenly jumped up, there must be a way out there when you were in big trouble.

There is a treasure chest on the screen. Chen Mo tried to click it with his hand, “Clack” the treasure chest opened and a few golden lights appeared.

Chen Mo looks at it: “Special Props: Super Focus device.”

There is also a description for the item.

【 Super Focus device: One-time item and last for 10 minutes. Once used, the attention of 500 people can be focused anywhere. Once the focus point is selected, it will take effect immediately and cannot be changed. 】

Chen Mo scratched his head and couldn’t understand it. He could only read the item description once again.

I probably understand it, but this thing seems to have nothing to do with games?

Chen Mo pinched his chin for a long time, the only use he could think of was to use it in the game design competition. During this time, all the audience and the judges’ eyes were focused on his own game.

But…… after focusing?

The duration is only 10 minutes. Moreover, this is just to let people notice his own game, but he can’t change the views of others on his game.

If the game isn’t fun, and you still force others to play it, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive.

“Thinking again, there must be some other ways.”

Chen Mo isn’t resigned to just give up this special props. Isn’t it funny to find it useless after trying hard to get this purple props?

Chen Mo now needs such a game.

Not too complicated.

The amount of resource is within 6MB.

The audience would love it after playing for 10mins or so.

Even if they can’t love it, they need to be impressed at least.

There must be certain number of gimmicks, that will hopefully help him win the championship of the game design competition.

“It looks like an impossible task, but it won’t be difficult for me. After all, what kind of games I haven’t seen in the past?”

“Let’s start!”

With this goal, Chen Mo once again sits in front of his laptop and opens the game editor.

It was originally an impossible task. But with the Super Focus, this task has the potential to be completed, and it is quite big.

Of course, before designing, Chen Mo first read and mastered all the knowledge of the few green skills books, a total of three numerical skills books and a level skill book.

In fact, there is no use for it, but it is better than nothing.

The game editor isn’t difficult to use, Chen Mo tries to be a little familiar with it and then begin.

After downloading all the remaining 6MB resources, Chen Mo began to write the design documents. After all, the game isn’t big, the design document only contains a few hundred words.

He just used the limited resources which was free shared resources on game editor. You can use them just by slightly re-writing.

That night, the game was mostly completed, and the next day, Chen Mo made a simple network connecting + ranking features, and the game was done.

Chen Mo tried the game after its completion, and the feel of the game wasn’t too different from his previous life.

After making the installation package, Chen Mo submitted the game to the official staff of the game design competition. Whether the game can be recognized or not, it must be confirmed on the day of the competition.

…….

The day of the competition.

Chen Mo wore his only formal suit and arrived at the location of the game design competition on time.

August of Imperial capital is truly a hot month. Chen Mo feels like a retard in a formal suit. But fortunately, the air condition is quite good there. After a while, it finally cools down.

With the staff’s guidance, the judges, the contestants and the audience were seated in order, and the preparations related to the competition were also carried out in an orderly manner. Everything is ready and everyone is just waiting for the game design competition to begin.

Not to mention that there were quite a lot of people that were present, and there were six or seven hundred people.

The game design competition is a big scale competition. It has not only arranged live broadcasts and full-time video recordings, but also invited three senior game designers to be the judges.

As for the rewards for the competition, it is very expensive. The first place can get 300,000 yuan game development funds, a D-class game designer qualification and an exclusive game experience shop.

Mentioning the 300,000 yuan funds, it is a real money, but what attacts the game designers more is the last reward, an exclusive game experience shop!

The game experience shop can be seen as the designer’s work display area. The store can be big or small. If you become a SSS-Class game designer, your game experience shop can be a whole building or even a place for players to “pilgrimage”.

From the layout point of view, the experience shop is a bit like an internet cafe with different function.

The experience shop isn’t for profit. It serves as a studio for the designers and a communication platform for players.

Players come to the experience shop to communicate with the designer face to face and give advice, they can also try the designer’s latest game. When the designer think that the game is almost completed, it will be released and officially operated.

Of course, if it’s just for test ， the designers can just release a beta version on the web and ask the players to play. But the designers in this world prefer to play at the experience shop, because the players in the experience shop are all real people in real life, face-to-face communication is more beneficial to them to accumulate inspiration.

Therefore, the experience shop has slowly become the symbol of a game designer’s identity. If a game designer doesn’t have his own experience shop, he will be despised if he says it.

Chen Mo also knows the preciousness of the experience shop. If he opens a shop himself, even shop rent will cost him a lot of money every month, not to mention the purchase of various equipments. Now Chen Mo is absolutely impossible to afford it.

Therefore, this opportunity, Chen Mo must get it!
