After some consideration, Chen Mo was optimistic that the players in the parallel world would understand and accept I Am MT's worldview.
Based on his previous life's experience, I Am MT's popularity started with World of Warcraft players, but it quickly spread to the younger generation who didn't play World of Warcraft.
I Am MT's humorous style, cute art style, and rich and compact content allowed it to break away from the World of Warcraft IP and become a completely independent story.
In his previous life, there were many players who didn't play World of Warcraft that liked I Am MT, and were even attracted to World of Warcraft.
Of course, Chen Mo wouldn't just throw I Am MT out there. He would make some minor adjustments to I Am MT, subtly instilling the worldview of I Am MT into the players of this world.
…
After completing the sketches for MT, Chen Mo moved on to sketches for Shaman, Inferior, Rogue, and the others.
Chen Mo had a deep impression of these classic characters, and could draw them based on his memory. However, it would be difficult for Chen Mo to draw the supporting characters with their unique characteristics.
"It's a bit slow. Forget it, I'll just take some potions."
Chen Mo first found the Super Accelerator in his bracelet and used it. This item greatly increased his efficiency, and was very suitable for working on steroids.
After that, Chen Mo used the Memory Playback Potion to search through the memories of the characters in I Am MT.
Chen Mo had drawn quite a few items this time, so he didn't feel bad using them. Now he had to finish sketches for each character as soon as possible, so that it wouldn't affect his progress.
As his memories became clearer, Chen Mo didn't try to recall the contents of the I Am MT anime, but instead chose to recall the screenshots of I Am MT.
In his previous life, I Am MT had gone through many years and many updates. The total number of cards in the guide had reached a staggering one thousand. Of these, there were four hundred and twenty-five Character Cards that players could use, and the rest were Monster Cards.
Of course, many of these were duplicates. For example, between five stars and five stars +, the only difference was the border, but the character artwork remained the same.
There were 11 main character cards, such as the MT. There were four stars, four stars +, five stars +, five stars +, five stars +, six stars (three forms), and seven stars (three forms).
Chen Mo didn't need that many stars at the moment. In his plan, he planned to release it to five stars + 3 (the limit) in the first patch, and then release it to six stars and above.
In that case, each Main Character Card only required 3 original arts. They were 4 star (blue), 5 star (purple) and 5 star + 3 limit (purple) respectively.
By reducing the number of levels, the number of monsters could also be reduced. This way, the number of cards that Chen Mo needed to draw was much less than one thousand.
What Chen Mo needed to hand draw were the classic forms of the character cards, the characters were as follows.
Horde side: MT, Shaman, Rogue, Baddie, Druid, Hair, Musi, Auntie Warlock, Beauty, Female Thief, Barrel Bull, Blood Scum.
Alliance: Missy, Dark Night Man, Brick, Mediterranean, President, Lady Virtue, Big Sister, Sis Cannon, National Team Holy Light Knights, Five Fireball Gods, Fish Deep, Wild Goose, Moon Cover, Flower Shy.
Apart from that, there were characters that appeared later in the series like Notoku Shinnosuke and Winter.
There were a total of 36 playable characters in the first patch.
Wild monsters would require at least two hundred, but they weren't in a rush, and could be slowly completed in the future.
36 x 3 + 200 was roughly 308 original arts. This was the number of original arts that Chen Mo desperately compressed.
After using the Super Accelerator, Chen Mo's drawing speed skyrocketed. Previously, he used half an hour for an image, but now his efficiency had increased by three times, to one image every ten minutes. The time taken to draw the classic images of the 36 main characters was reduced to six hours.
Of course, it was impossible for Chen Mo to draw for six hours straight without sleep. That would tire him to death. During this period of time, he also took breaks. Finally, when it was almost six o 'clock in the afternoon, he finished drawing all thirty-six iconic character sketches.
Of course, these were just sketches. He still had to refine, color, and edit the drawings. There were still a lot of work to be done, but Chen Mo didn't plan on doing it himself. If he did it all by himself, he would be exhausted to death.
Chen Mo stretched, sent the 36 sketches to Su Jinyu, and went downstairs.
"Hmm? Why are you all here? "
Chen Mo noticed that there were quite a few people on the first floor. Wen Lingwei, Jia Peng, and Chang Xiuya were all here.
Su Jinyu stood up, "Manager, you're finally here."
Wen Lingwei said, "I thought you made a bet out of impulse, but found out that you couldn't win, so you're afraid to come downstairs."
Chen Mo was speechless, "Am I that kind of person?"
Chang Xiuya asked worriedly, "Manager, how's the planning for your new game? If you lose …"
Wen Lingwei said, "If you want to run away, I know a few friends from the underworld …"
Chen Mo rolled his eyes, "Stop right there! What are you even talking about? Alright, don't worry, I have a plan for the new game. Goldfish, open the zip I sent you. "
Su Jinyu protested, "It's Jinyu, not Goldfish! These two words both mean beautiful jade! "
Wen Lingwei said meaningfully, "Hmm, that's not a bad name, I'll call you Goldfish from now on."
Su Jinyu was speechless.
After opening the zip, everyone was shocked to find that there were more than thirty sketches of the characters. Although they weren't colored, just the outlines were enough to leave a deep impression.
Su Jinyu asked, "Manager, are these the characters for the new game? Are we going to make a chibi game? "
Chen Mo replied, "Yep, I should be able to come up with a detailed plan within this week. The first step is to finish the characters."
Su Jinyu began flipping through the animations one by one, and the rest followed suit.
"This is … a cow? And a nose ring. It's pretty cute. But why is the first one a cow? A humanoid cow? A cow with a cow head and a human body? "
"MT? What kind of name is that? "
"The second one is also a cow, yep … a female cow. It's called Shaman, it does look a bit dumb. "
"This green square-headed monster … looks weird, it's probably not a human species. It's called Rogue … yep, it's a bit dumb, but can someone that dumb be a Rogue? "
"… They're all weirdly shaped characters, they're all ugly but cute. But is it really okay to have such a weird character? "
"Oh, there's finally a normal human, Miss. Hmm, this looks like the main character, why's it so far back? "
"Miss? Guild leader? Yep … there's a bunch of humanoid creatures at the back. "
"What do you mean by humanoid creatures? They're humans."
"What do you mean by Alliance and Horde? Why is it Alliance at the bottom and Horde at the top? Is it a faction? "
