Chapter 414 Why Am I Not yet S-Level?

Two weeks after its launch, "Border of the Land" successfully reached the third place on the mobile game best-selling list, while "Three Kingdoms Heroes" fell all the way and finally stopped at the twelfth place.

Although the ranking of "Band of the Land" did not continue to rise after this, as an SLG game, it is not easy to climb to this position.

Obviously, "The Shore of the Land" is far from a perfect game. As an SLG game, its biggest problem is that it is too difficult to get started, and it is too slow to heat up. The fun of it can only be experienced in the state battle stage, and it may take a few months of exploration to really understand it, which is obviously incompatible with the current fast-food game environment.

Maybe in the novice stage, the successful players will be persuaded to quit, and they will not experience the real fun of it at all.

However, "The Shore of the Land" is also a game with outstanding advantages. For many old players, this is a game that will not get tired of playing for several years.

Different from those traditional krypton gold mobile games, "The Shore of the Land" is more gentle and more long-term.

...

Some game media have also reported on the unique Three Kingdoms game "The Shore of the Land".

"A Three Kingdoms game that can freely change the world situation? 》

"Chen Mo once again taught all mobile game designers a lesson in the field of mobile games! 》

"Player Comments: This is the real chaos of the Three Kingdoms! 》

"Game Evaluation: Although it is difficult to get started, it is rich in content and novel in gameplay! 》

"Chen Mo's New Work <The Shore of the Land>: Take You to Experience the Different Three Kingdoms"

"The Shore of the Earth: There is no plot, players create plots! 》

For most players, "The Shore of the Land" did not cause such a big sensation. Compared with Chen Mo's other works, this mobile game is really not that earth-shattering.

However, all players are certain that no matter what game Chen Mo plays, it will bring them enough surprises.

...

In the final selection, "The Shore of the Land" also undoubtedly won the first prize this time.

certainly,

It's not that this game is too good, but the combat effectiveness of competing games in the same period is too weak. The only "Three Kingdoms Heroes" that seems to be able to play a little bit still uses the card hand-playing method that Chen Mo has been tired of playing for a long time, while "The Shore of the Land" has made a comprehensive innovation in the gameplay, which is better and which is worse. At a glance.

Chen Mo also posted a Weibo.

"Oh, I won the first prize again, and I can't put it on the bookshelf. I'm worried."

The accompanying picture is the certificate and trophy of the "Three Kingdoms Theme Game Season First Prize".

As soon as this Weibo was released, many game designers were very angry.

"Nima, Chen Mo is such a coward, I need a fight!"

"Isn't that putting salt on our wounds?"

"Kill this pretending criminal! You can't give it to me!"

"You have fun playing your PC games and VR games, don't mess with mobile games!"

"You're so angry, can't you leave us a prize?"

"Strong ****! Demand that Chen Mo be disqualified for the next competition!"

Of course, complaints are complaints, and many mobile game designers still get a lot of inspiration from this game.

A big inspiration is that Chen Mo tested the bottom line of players for all designers.

The result of the test is that the players seem to have no bottom line?

Many people think that "Onmyoji" is serious enough. A mobile game that needs to be played for four or five hours a day is considered extraordinary by most designers. As a result, Chen Mo made a more serious "Rate". The Shore of Earth!

Not to mention four or five hours, ten hours a day is not too much! Moreover, they had to be fixed on a regular basis. After the day was over and the night was over, when the state battle started, there was not even a little rest time.

Fortunately, this is a mobile game. If it is a PC game or a VR game, how many players can get up in the middle of the night to play a group?

But judging from player feedback, it seems that many people think it's okay?

What the hell is this!

Many designers have also discovered that although heavy mobile games make players very tired, the stickiness is really good.

After most players have developed a habit, the first thing they do when they take out their mobile phones is to open "Band of the Land", play every day, every day, and it is not easy to abandon the game because the game is too dull.

"So, can we also make some more serious games? For example, porting national warfare RPGs like "Yi Zhan of the Three Kingdoms" to the mobile game platform?"

This is a question that many mobile game designers are thinking about.

...

...

Although it has successfully made many mobile game designers feel bad, Chen Mo is also in a bad mood.

Because in the fantasy editor, Chen Mo's scores have risen sharply, but the designer's rating turned out to be an A+!

Chen Mo felt very speechless, why?

[Chen Mo: Game Designer (A+ Grade)]

【Creativity: 89】

【System: 83】

【Level: 82】

【Plot: 89】

[Original art: 87]

【3D Art: 81】

[Amount of available resources this month: 2TB]

From the point of view of various values, compared to before, the creativity, system, and levels have been slightly improved, the 3D art has been greatly improved, and the plot has not changed.

Originally, Chen Mo thought that as long as he could make a phenomenal VR game, he could get the title of S-level designer, but now it seems that this is not the case?

In terms of VR games, Chen Mo has already made two games, "Minecraft" and "Escape". These two games should be considered phenomenal games in their respective fields, right?

Moreover, "League of Legends" has become so popular that it has almost dominated the entire PC side. Is this not taken into account?

Why doesn't this give me an S-level designer, but an A+?

Although Chen Mo is full of questions, he has no one to ask, because the few S-level designers in China are either in big companies such as Dichao and Zenyi, or they are alone with Chen Mo. There is no connection.

After much deliberation, Chen Mo decided to call Qiao Hua from the Tourism Committee to ask.

After learning about Chen Mo's question, Qiao Hua smiled.

"That's right, Chen Mo. Regarding your rating, it is not intended to target you, but there is a very clear set of evaluation criteria for S-level designers within the Tourism Committee."

"Although "Minecraft" and "Escape" are both very good VR games, they are still different from the "super boutique VR games" defined by the Tourism Commission."

"At present, the members of the Tourism Committee are basically divided into two factions. One faction believes that you have successful games on mobile games, PC and VR platforms, and you have been innovating all the time. It is long overdue to obtain the qualification of S-level designer; The other group is more old-fashioned, thinking that although Minecraft and Escape are very creative, they are obviously opportunistic and cannot be regarded as super-boutique VR games.”

Chen Mo was speechless: "How can it be considered a super-quality VR game?"

Qiao Hua explained: "Minecraft and Escape are both great in terms of gameplay, there is no doubt about it. However, in terms of artistry, it is difficult to conquer the vast majority of judges."

Chen Mo was stunned: "Artistic?"

Qiao Hua said: "Yes, art is regarded as the ninth art, and artistry includes many aspects, such as character design, world view background, plot, art style, music style and so on."

"Or to put it bluntly, a designer is likely to be rated S only if they make a VR game that has the potential to compete for the best VR game of the year. It has little to do with how much money and how popular your game is, it mainly depends on by the judges.”

Chen Mo roughly understood: "Okay, since that's the case, then I know. Isn't it just a game to please the judges? I'll make another one!"
