Actually, Chen Mo already had a suitable choice for the new game.
Chen Mo planned to use the next game as the last game of the year. He didn't plan on making it during the new year, but rather on making it before the new year.
Looking back at the past year, Chen Mo had made quite a few classic games.
After becoming an S-grade video game designer last year, and winning the Game of the Year award with Overwatch, Chen Mo's sights were set on the international market.
Moreover, the pay-to-win system didn't have pay-to-win anymore, instead focusing on Happiness and Grudge points.
Apart from Humans Fail and Normal Adventure, which were made during the new year to test out the pay-to-win system, Chen Mo's next games were all big projects.
Switch was a revolutionary handheld. Although its influence was still limited within China, and it was still a niche product, it still had a lot of potential.
Super Mario? Odyssey was a classic, and it played a role in the release of the Switch. It was also highly sought after by countless players. Of course, since it wasn't a VR game, its influence wasn't as great as in his previous life. But it was undeniable that it did win over many video game designers and reviewers with its ability to collect and solve puzzles, as well as its perfect level design. It even got close to a perfect score.
Next was the highlight of the year, Dark Souls. The VR version of Dark Souls, created using the Pangu Physics Engine, could be said to have swept the VR gaming circle in and out of the country. It also made the players suffer.
However, Dark Souls also won countless praises for its unique combat system and level design, pointing out the direction for future action games and cold weapon combat systems.
It also made Kings of Glory, and it was almost time to reap the harvest in the mobile game market.
Releasing so many classic games in a year was already like a sow's high yield.
Chen Mo didn't plan on making a huge classic game for the last game of the year, partly because there wasn't enough time, and partly because he had already made Dark Souls this year, so there was no need to rush to make another classic.
Chen Mo wanted to make a game like this.
Moderate game capacity.
Make the players happy.
Make use of the items and skill books from before.
Dark Souls had already made the players suffer so much, it was time to give them some sweetness.
It wasn't that Salent was pitying him, but … he didn't have enough Happiness.
Of course, the game wasn't going to pass the review, so Chen Mo still had to go to the Game Committee with the Intelligence Reduction Aura.
To be honest, the INT Reducing Halo was very useful. At the very least, the last time Outlast was successfully produced, there were no problems until now.
After all, the parallel world was different from the previous one. The Game Committee was more relaxed when it came to reviewing games, and with the grading system, it was easier to pass the review. Even if there were projects that were more difficult to review, it would be fine to give them a Think-reducing Halo.
Chen Mo wrote the design concept before going to the Game Committee to look for Qiao Hua and Chairman Zhang Zhongxiang.
…
Chen Mo bumped into someone he knew as soon as he entered the Game Committee building.
She was a reporter from Tianji.com's gaming channel, Han Lu.
That's right, it was the Han Lu who had been tricked by Chen Mo into using her salary to create happiness.
Han Lu was also surprised to see Chen Mo. "Hmm? Chief Chen! "
Chen Mo smiled, "Why are you at the Game Committee too?"
"Yeah, I just finished an interview." Han Lu looked at the document in Chen Mo's hand, "You're …"
Chen Mo said, "Oh, a new game review, just a formality."
Han Lu's eyes lit up, her reporter instincts came into play, "New game! You've decided on your next game? "
Chen Mo nodded, "Pretty much, it'll be fine as long as it passes the review."
Han Lu seemed very excited, "Then, do you mind taking five minutes for a simple interview? Can you tell us a little about this new game? "
Chen Mo looked at his phone, it was still early.
"Sure, but you didn't bring any equipment," said Chen Mo.
Han Lu said, "It's fine, it's just a simple interview. I've brought my voice recorder anyway, so I'll just ask a few simple questions."
Chen Mo nodded, "Alright then."
The two found empty seats in the Game Committee building and sat down.
Even though it was an interview, it was just Han Lu asking a few questions, Chen Mo answering them with a voice recorder, and compiling it into a text version.
Han Lu was very excited, she didn't expect to meet Chen Mo at the Game Committee for an interview. This was basically first hand information on a new game!
Han Lu said, "Chief Chen, I know your time is precious, so I'll be quick. First, can you tell us what kind of game it is? "
Chen Mo, "Oh, it's a lawnmower game."
Han Lu was shocked, there were three big question marks above her head, "A lawnmower game?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Yep, a lawnmower game."
Han Lu blinked, she couldn't tell from Chen Mo's expression if he was telling the truth or not …
After all, Chen Mo's last lawnmower game was Dark Souls …
Obviously, Chen Mo's understanding of a lawnmower game was a little different from what the players understood. In his lawnmower game, the players were the grass!
Han Lu asked, "So, since the Dark Souls series is over, is it a spiritual continuation of the game? Will it continue the combat system of Dark Souls? "
Chen Mo shook his head, "No, it's really a lawnmower game, and it's a modern war theme."
Han Lu scratched her head, "It's really a lawnmower game?"
"Yes," Chen Mo said with a serious expression.
Han Lu had a 'as long as you' expression, she clearly didn't believe him …
After all, she had been tricked by Chen Mo a few times, and knew that she couldn't believe a single word Chen Mo said!
Han Lu asked again, "Then, can you tell us a little bit about the game?"
Chen Mo thought for a bit, "Hmm … I can't go into too much detail, as the game hasn't been approved yet. However, there are a few things that I'm sure of.
"First, this is a lawnmower game, dedicated to providing players with an extremely satisfying gaming experience.
"Secondly, this is a game with a very deep meaning. It reveals the truth of the criminal behavior of foreign consortiums. These corporations disregard the lives of civilians for the sake of profit, breaking the law as much as they want. They even have the upper echelons protecting them. At the same time, the game is filled with questions about human nature. Every player will experience a spiritual sublimation … "
Han Lu blinked her eyes. She was dumbfounded by his words.
Is it really that incredible?
