Chen Mo didn't spend any more money after making Warcraft as Wulin Legend and Onmyoji weren't that hard to make, so he didn't need to spend any more time on leveling up his skills.
If it was a large scale MMORPG or single player game, Chen Mo would not only need to spend money to level up his skills, he would also need to hire people.
Chen Mo's team had the smallest number of people, one main designer, one assistant, one story writer, and one UI. It was fine for a simple game like Onmyoji, but it would be too much of a hassle to make a large scale RPG.
Warcraft was already very hard to make, but the good thing was that most of the content in Warcraft could be done with the map editor, so it wasn't as hard as a large scale RPG. Chen Mo's small team was able to do it with some difficulty.
Therefore, if Chen Mo wanted to make a large scale game, he would need to expand his team a bit more. If they were to expand this time, they might have to expand to around 20 people.
If he considered having professionals in charge of art quality, cinematics, music and sound, human resources, and game operations, he would need even more people.
Chen Mo was planning on the computer, thinking about how many people he should hire.
Thunderbolt Entertainment's treatment went without saying. Countless people were asking how they could join Thunderbolt Entertainment after hearing about Onmyoji's huge profits and Chen Mo giving his assistants eighteen months' worth of bonuses. All Chen Mo had to do was post a recruitment notice on Weibo and there would be a bunch of people begging to join.
At this moment, Chen Mo's phone rang, it was an unknown number.
Chen Mo picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hello, is this Mr Chen Mo? I'm the head of the Game Committee in charge of gaming culture, my name is Qiao Hua. "
Chen Mo was shocked, Game Committee? Head?
The Game Committee was the department in charge of the entire gaming industry. Qiao Hua was the head, which meant he was a middle manager. Why would he call him?
Chen Mo replied, "Hello, Head Qiao."
Qiao Hua's voice was more refined and polite, "Mr Chen Mo's Wulin Legend won first place, and your mobile game Onmyoji was a huge success. Congratulations, and thank you for your contributions to the development of the gaming industry."
Chen Mo hurriedly said, "You flatter me."
Qiao Hua didn't bother with small talk and quickly got to the point, "It's like this, Mr Chen Mo. Based on your contributions to China style games, the Game Committee has decided to make you an honorary member, and you're already an A-grade videogame designer. "
"Uhh …"
Qiao Hua smiled. "Maybe you don't know what it means to be an honorary committee member. It's like this, the Game Committee will recruit a few outstanding designers to become honorary committee members. They don't have to do any work, it's just in name. "
"This time, I invited you mainly because I'm interested in the high-quality games that you've created. You don't have to be responsible for any specific work. If there's a chance in the future, I might arrange some activities for you, such as going to school and giving lectures to the students majoring in game design. "
Chen Mo quickly said, "Well, I'm often busy, so I might not have the time."
"It doesn't matter," said Qiao Hua. "I'll communicate with you in advance and arrange the time. I called you today to inform you in advance and ask for your opinion. "
Chen Mo thought for a bit, "Can I think about it?"
Qiao Hua laughed, "Of course, it's completely voluntary. You can ask the other videogame designers and decide if you want to join. "
Chen Mo was a bit confused after hanging up the phone.
He thought that the Wulin Legend incident was over, the trophy had been given out, the recommendation spot had been given out, and it was time for the matter to come to an end.
But the Game Committee invited him to be an honorary committee member? What the heck?
Logically speaking, this was a good thing, but Chen Mo wasn't sure. Would it affect his work?
Chen Mo wasn't sure, so he decided to give Lin Mao a call.
Lin Mao was also confused, "Huh? Honorary committee member? I wouldn't know even if you asked me! I'm just a C-grade videogame designer, how would I know something like that? "
Chen Mo hung up the phone and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anyone to ask.
Big companies like Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Zen Entertainment would definitely have people on the Game Committee as honorary committee members, but Chen Mo didn't really get along with either company.
Chen Mo facepalmed. That's right, Qiu Hengyang!
He's the founder of hengyou.com, Qiu Hengyang might know something.
Chen Mo called Qiu Hengyang.
Qiu Hengyang was surprised, "Chen Mo? You've been in the limelight recently, why are you calling me? "
Chen Mo said, "Here's something I wanted to ask you. What's an honorary committee member like? Is there a need to join? "
Qiu Hengyang was shocked, "Honorary committee member? Isn't the list only released at the end of the year? "
Chen Mo said, "I'm not sure, the Game Committee's director Qiao told me that it's pretty much confirmed that I can join, but I haven't agreed yet."
Qiu Hengyang was shocked, then immediately said, "Of course! What's there to hesitate about? "
Chen Mo was speechless, "I don't even know what an honorary committee member does, how could I just agree like that?"
Qiu Hengyang said, "You don't know how many people are fighting for this position, and you're thinking about it?"
Chen Mo said, "Really?"
Qiu Hengyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yeah! Because I'm an honorary committee member too, I know. Let's put it this way, being an honorary committee member is equivalent to being recognized by the officials. It's good for your future game reviews and promotions. Moreover, when you become an A-grade or S-grade videogame designer, you'll have a lot more resources to develop VR games. You can't go wrong if you agree first. "
Chen Mo understood and nodded. "So that's how it is. Alright, no problem."
Qiu Hengyang reminded, "Don't turn down the honorary committee member position. I'm telling you, it'll be hard to get it next time."
Chen Mo replied, "Alright, don't worry."
Qiu Hengyang said, "Alright, we'll both be honorary committee members in the future. Let's take care of each other in the future."
After hanging up, Chen Mo made up his mind. Since this was a good opportunity, he would accept the honorary committee position.
After all, if he wanted to make a large scale game in the future, most of it would be related to shooting and killing. There might even be some violence involved. He would have to deal with the Game Committee when he submitted his game for approval. Since that was the case, he might as well join from the start.
"Speaking of which, am I an A-grade videogame designer now?"
