Chapter 225 The Concept Draft Controversy

In the studio, everyone was looking forward to Chen Mo's new game concept draft.

Although the previous building blocks were fun to play, most people still didn't understand why Chen Mo let them play LEGGO building blocks, let alone what the building blocks had to do with the new game.

What's more, Chen Mo has revealed more or less before that what he wants to do this time is a VR game. Many people thought that Chen Mo would use the world view of Azeroth, or the world view of "Darkness" to make an RPG game on the VR platform, but after playing the building blocks, they were all puzzled.

How are building blocks and new games connected?

On the projector screen, the title of the document appeared: "Minecraft" Design Concept Draft.

The content this time is even simpler than "Diablo", and it is finished in ten minutes.

There are actually three main points, one is the internal rules of the game, the second is the external packaging, and the third is the derivative gameplay.

The internal rules include the generation rules of the entire world, the player's collection and construction rules, the day and night cycle, the survival mode spawning monsters, the production item rules, and so on.

The external packaging is mainly how to package each block better, so that players can connect with things in reality.

Derivative gameplay is some special gameplay in the later stage of the game, such as survival mode, construction mode, multiplayer online and so on.

"Probably these things, do you have any questions?" Chen Mo looked at everyone's reactions.

Everyone looked at each other with the same expression on their faces: "That's it? Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Hanyu coughed twice and said, "Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with this concept draft. It's very clear. Mainly because Minecraft is a VR game, isn't it a bit... too simple?"

Zheng Hongxi nodded: "I also think that this game has no plot at all, and the numerical settings are extremely simple. Its complexity is not compared with "Darkness", it is far worse than "Warcraft"."

Zhou Hanyu added: "Yes, and the requirements for art are not too low? The current VR games are trying to reproduce reality, and I can't wait to make it even hair. Our game is based on the current settings. , I'm afraid it's a little difficult to even express five fingers."

Qian Kun said: "I think it is debatable whether the core fun of this game can support its sales. It is really fun to play with building blocks, but first we have to have drawings. If it is a lot of parts, let us fight freely,

How many people can achieve the level of a store manager? At most, a bunch of monsters with spicy eyes will be spelled out. "Rebirth of the Demon

Su Jinyu also said: "Yes, I also think. It is mainly players who like to be creative and study freely in a completely unlimited world. How much of the total number of players can be accounted for? And the group of VR games is relatively small. "

Very rare, almost all of the creators raised some questions about this concept draft.

Although Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi already trust Chen Mo very, very much, it is based on the premise that Chen Mo's design philosophy does not deviate significantly from their common sense.

Obviously, the design concept draft of "Minecraft" is far from the "Thunder Entertainment's first VR game" in their minds.

Chen Mo smiled, he didn't care about everyone's doubts about this design.

After all, Chen Mo spent so much effort to cultivate the independent thinking ability of these three assistants, so that they can have independent thinking, have their own views on the game, and not become mindless executors.

Today, these people have raised questions, indicating that they all have their own thinking, which is a good phenomenon.

Chen Mo thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of "Famine"?"

Everyone was stunned, and Su Jinyu replied, "Well... the gameplay is great, and the sales are also good. It's a type of applause and hits."

Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask, "Where is the secret to the success of the famine?"

Su Jinyu thought for a while: "Well... it simulates the player's needs for survival, the gameplay is rich, and the sandbox game allows players to freely explore and create."

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, in the final analysis, the secret to the success of Don't Starve is that it is a sandbox game, and it highlights the concept of 'survival'. Is its art quality high?"

Su Jinyu: "...not high."

Chen Mo asked again: "So, does Don't Starve have a plot? Does it have numerical depth? Is the beginner's guide complete? Can you guess its sales before it goes live?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Chen Mo continued: "It has no plot, no numerical depth, and almost no novice guidance. Before it went online, everyone thought it was a niche game, and no one could guess that it could get more than 4 million sales. What do you mean?" Great Qin Guoshi

"This shows that sandbox games do not need plots, numerical depth, or too much novice guidance. Sandbox games need freedom, and for freedom, everything can be sacrificed."

"Pixel wind is sacrificing everything for freedom."

Chen Mo paused and looked at everyone's reaction.

Everyone was thinking about the meaning of Chen Mo's words.

Chen Mo continued: "LEGGO building blocks, what is the minimum particle size? The side length is 7.8 mm, the height is 9.6 mm, and the volume is controlled within 1 cubic centimeter."

"Why this size? Because if it is smaller, it will be difficult to splicing, and if it is larger, it will not be able to show enough details. Therefore, the size of LEGGO blocks, taking into account operability and expressiveness, is calculated by the designers. Optimal solution."

"Similarly, if we want to allow players to freely create in the game "Minecraft", we must also take into account operability and expressiveness."

"And this will lead to an inevitable result, which is pixel wind. Remember the dog I built with Lego blocks, that is a product of pixel wind, so our games can only do this."

Speaking of which, most people in UU Reading www.uukanshu.com already understood what Chen Mo meant.

Chen Mo's design idea is like this. First of all, this is a sandbox game similar to building blocks, so it can only be a pixel style, and Chen Mo believes that as long as the creative gameplay is guaranteed, other things such as art, numerical values, and plots are enough. , gameplay is not important.

Under the guidance of this design idea, this design concept draft was created.

The conference room was quiet for a while, and everyone was thinking about what Chen Mo just said.

Su Jinyu nodded: "Well, I understand, store manager. Since you've figured it out, I support this plan."

Qian Kun also said: "OK, then let's try it! I think as long as you can make building blocks as fun, it's still very fun!"

Zhou Hanyu said: "Although I am still a little worried, I will think about how the pixel art style is displayed. Even if this game is pixel style, it will definitely be the best looking pixel style in the world."

Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry everyone, this game will never let you down."
