Why are you talking if you're not interested? What on earth are you doing here today?
Qiu Bin didn't mind. He had heard about Li Jingsi's personality before, but he was more interested in Li Jingsi's Challenger level in LoL.
Although game experience wasn't that important for a video game designer to enter the industry, it still depended on what kind of game experience it was.
'League of Legends' was still very popular, and many companies were researching mobile games similar to 'League of Legends'. Having a 'League of Legends' expert in the project would be beneficial to the development of the entire project.
After all, Challenger's understanding of the game wasn't something an ordinary person could compare to.
Qiu Bin originally thought that this interview was just a formality, but after hearing that Li Jingsi was Challenger, he was suddenly interested.
This was because he had a special mission in the Imperial Capital.
Currently, many companies were trying to make mobile MOBA games, but there wasn't a dominating game yet. Lin Chaoxu felt that this was a good time to try and port Ancient Calamity to the mobile platform. It was a desperate attempt, and he might just get lucky.
If it could do well on the mobile game platform, then it would be a very promising project.
Therefore, this mission fell on the shoulders of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's Imperial Capital branch, Zhang Bei.
Qiu Bin was here to spread the concept of advanced mobile game design, as well as discuss with Zhang Bei how to port Ancient Calamity to the mobile platform.
Strictly speaking, the entire "Ancient Catastrophe" mobile game project had enough staff, but they lacked someone who had a deep understanding of MOBA games.
The highest level of the designers in the project was Platinum, and it was unrealistic to expect these people to make a very balanced mobile MOBA game …
It was at this critical juncture that Li Jingsi appeared.
Qiu Bin said, "Alright, then why don't you talk about the flaws of LoL?"
"Flaws?" Li Jingsi thought for a bit, "This game doesn't have any flaws."
Qiu Bin was speechless. How could they continue this conversation?
There's no perfect game in this world, so what's wrong with letting you talk about flaws?
Qiu Bin coughed dryly, "How can it not have any flaws? Think about it, isn't having a single playstyle his weakness? There are only two or three maps in the entire League of Legends, and the players can only play Summoner's Canyon and the occasional Melee. There aren't many modes at all! "
Li Jingsi said, "That's because the core of League of Legends is the cooperation between different heroes. The players won't be interested in the extra maps, so it's a waste of time."
Qiu Bin was a little speechless. He then said, "Then isn't the rigidity of the lineup a weakness? Everyone in League of Legends has to choose from the top lane, jungler, mid lane, and bottom lane positions. There's no flexibility at all. "
Li Jingsi replied, "That's because we have to consider how difficult it is for players to get used to the game. This way, players can easily choose a suitable lineup, which will allow them to get used to the game faster and prevent the newbies from having a bad gaming experience."
Qiu Bin: "…"
Why did it feel like the roles of the interviewee and the interviewee were reversed?
The truth was, Qiu Bin hadn't done much research on games like LoL. His previous games were all mobile games. The questions he asked about LoL in person were just random questions, but Li Jingsi turned it around and taught him a lesson …
How could he still have any face left …
Although the situation was a little awkward, Zhang Bei was starting to see Li Jingsi in a different light.
At first, Zhang Bei thought that Li Jingsi was a bit unreliable, but after answering the two questions, Li Jingsi's image in his mind suddenly rose.
Indeed, Qiu Bin's questions were two of the most criticized problems in League of Legends, and were also two settings that many players didn't understand. However, Li Jingsi was able to clearly analyze the intentions of the designer with just a few simple sentences. This kind of insight wasn't something an average player could have.
Zhang Bei couldn't help but feel impressed. As expected of the King of Legends, she was able to see through problems. It seemed like this girl was quite capable.
What they didn't know was that Li Jingsi often played League of Legends with Chen Mo, and many of the questions she asked were from Chen Mo.
Not to mention anything else, but answering the questions about League of Legends was like asking for a gun …
Zhang Bei asked, "So, what do you think about mobile MOBA games?"
Li Jingsi replied after some thought, "Hmm … it should have a lot of potential?"
Zhang Bei was pleasantly surprised, "Hmm? Tell me more specifically about the potential? "
Li Jingsi replied, "I'm not sure, it's just a feeling."
Zhang Bei was speechless.
This girl was quite direct, she didn't even bother to come up with an excuse!
Actually, the reason Li Jingsi said mobile MOBA games had potential was because she knew what Chen Mo was working on …
Obviously, the games that Chen Mo was working on were all games with potential …
Zhang Bei coughed dryly, it was the first time he had such a challenging interview.
Li Jingsi seemed to have something up her sleeve, but she didn't like to talk about it. The interviewer had to rack his brain for her to answer …
One question at a time, one answer at a time, there wasn't anyone else who had such a painful interview …
If it was someone else, Zhang Bei might have already sent them away, but Li Jingsi was a Challenger after all. Zhang Bei felt that she had a lot of ideas and had the potential to be a videogame designer, so he had to confirm it further.
Zhang Bei said, "If you were to change Ancient Catastrophe into a mobile game, how would you change it?"
Li Jingsi replied, "I've never played Ancient Calamity before."
Zhang Bei was speechless.
He thought for a bit, "Let's change to a more specific question. What areas do you think mobile MOBAs need to change compared to the PC version of 'League of Legends'? Let me give you a hint on the skill type. "
Li Jingsi was confused, "Skill type?"
Zhang Bei nodded, "Yes, for example, League of Legends has some skills that can't be ported to a mobile phone due to the controls. Skills like Annie's ultimate, which requires a precise range of attack, can't be implemented on a mobile phone. That's when we need to redesign the skills. What kind of skills do you think would be better? "
"It has to fit the hero's characteristics, the new ultimate has to be able to replace the original ultimate, and it also has to fit the controls of the mobile game."
Li Jingsi asked, "Shouldn't the first reaction be to improve the mobile game's operating system?"
Zhang Bei was shocked, "Huh? How? "
Li Jingsi replied, "I'm just saying."
Zhang Bei was speechless.
