Chapter 11 The Most Important Qualities of a Game Designer
The host also noticed that Shi Huazhe's words were thorny. He was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, thank you Teacher Shi for your advice. I believe that contestant Chen Mo will definitely remember the teachings of the old senior, so next..."
Before the host finished speaking, Chen Mo's microphone had already reached his mouth: "I don't agree with you."
The host was shocked, and Shi Huazhe was stunned!
Qiu Hengyang and Lin Hai also looked surprised.
What does it mean? The contestants are going to face the judges with the positive attitude?
The host was a little panicked, but he couldn't stop Chen Mo from speaking. Until now, he could only listen to what Chen Mo would say.
"Pay attention to the wording, this is live broadcast." The host did not take the microphone, but just whispered to Chen Mo's ear.
Chen Mo ignored the host and held the microphone and said, "Dear viewers, are you happy when you get the highest score in history while playing "flappybird"? Have you been happy, raise your hand."
The audience in the venue was stunned for a moment, and then most of them raised their hands.
"When the rankings rise, are you happy? Have a happy hand."
Most of the time I raised my hands again, slightly less than last time, but not much different.
"When you play with friends, you are happy when you have higher scores than friends? Have fun, raise your hand."
This time, more people raised their hands, and most of the audience raised their hands.
"After failure, do you choose to give up or try again? Those who choose to give up, raise your hand."
Basically no one raised his hand.
"You have tried many times again. I think this kind of attempt is meaningless, so raise your hand."
Several viewers raised their hands, but looked around and put them down again.
Chen Mo continued: "Obviously, the audience thinks my game brings them happiness."
"The function of the game is to mobilize the emotions of players. Sometimes negative emotions will blind everyone's eyes, but please think about it. If a game only brings you negative emotions, will you continue to play?"
Many viewers were shaking their heads.
Chen Mo continued: "Any game that allows you to continue playing is a game that brings you happiness. Unless you are a masochist."
There was a burst of laughter in the venue.
Chen Mo looked at Shi Huazhe: "It's not that you can't understand the fun of this game, it doesn't exist. On the contrary, my players think this is a fun game, and it doesn't capture so many players entirely by inspiring negative emotions."
Shi Huazhe's mouth twitched slightly.
Chen Mo continued: "I think the most important quality as a designer is to be objective and be able to look at any game objectively - even if you don't like it. This is a qualified designer."
"A food connoisseur doesn't like spicy food, so every time he goes to Sichuan cuisine, he gives Sichuan cuisine the lowest score. So is he a qualified food connoisseur?"
“Similarly, if you think it’s spicy chicken because you don’t like a game, then what’s the difference between you and a food connoisseur who doesn’t like Sichuan cuisine?”
"I'm done, thank you."
Chen Mo stuffed the microphone directly into the host's hand and turned around and stepped down.
He didn't have the time to fight with Shi Huazhe.
"you……"
Shi Huazhe was so angry that he widened his eyes and almost slapped the table and stood up.
Lin Hai, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly pulled him away: "What does a little hairy child know? Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Shi Huazhe's face turned red, but he still didn't have an attack in the end. It was not that he didn't want it, but that he couldn't think of anything to refute Chen Mo!
Chen Mo raised his hand to the audience and used food connoisseurs as an analogy. A whole set of rhetoric was perfect. Shi Huazhe had no other way except to mess around.
Qiu Hengyang couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that Chen Mo would confront Shi Huazhe without hesitation, and he was so neat!
Chen Mo just talked on the stage, his words were fluent and his thinking was clear. He didn’t look like a newly-earned game designer? He was smoother than some old foxes who had held many press conferences!
Moreover, Chen Mo looked at Shi Huazhe with a look that it was a "looking at caring for a fool" a bit too much, but it was basically like an adult watching an unreasonable child.
This shocked Qiu Hengyang. He was surprised to find that this guy seemed to have more ideas than he thought?
Qiu Hengyang stood up and followed Chen Mo to the audience.
...
Chen Mo was too lazy to pay attention to the host's mess. Anyway, he has already won the first place now and has already won everything he wants.
As a result, as soon as he got off the stage, Qiu Hengyang followed.
"Mr. Chen Mo." Qiu Hengyang came to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was a little surprised: "Hello, is there anything wrong?"
Qiu Hengyang said: "That's right. I really appreciate your works. I want to ask if you are willing to join Hengyou.com and be my assistant. Of course, you will be treated with the best treatment."
Chen Mo shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, but I have my own plan."
Qiu Hengyang nodded. He heard Chen Mo's implication. Obviously, such people are unlikely to rely on others. They must have to start their own company and develop games by themselves.
"Okay, I wish you all the best. I hope you will have a chance to cooperate in the future." Qiu Hengyang said.
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
The two shook hands, but Qiu Hengyang didn't say much, left each other with a contact information and left.
For others, this may be a very attractive option, but for Chen Mo, it is not attractive.
Even if the boss of a giant like Dichao Interactive Entertainment personally invites him to be the chief designer, he will not go there. He will eventually be subject to others' control. Chen Mo doesn't like someone to restrain him when designing games.
Soon, Chen Mo found the staff for the competition.
The staff said: "We have recorded your account. 300,000 R&D funds should be transferred to your account within 2 to 3 working days. Please remember to check it."
"In addition, please keep the keys of the experience store and remember the address. At that time, a special staff will come to you to arrange the arrangements. Just call me if you have any questions. You can decide freely what the arrangement should be, but the budget is limited. We can communicate in detail later."
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you."
All the things afterwards were done. After the handover, Chen Mo took a taxi and left the competition site.
It was too hot, and Chen Mo was wearing formal clothes again. It was so painful to squeeze into the bus and subway. And he just got a bonus of 300,000, so he might as well be extravagant!
The road was not stuck for too long. About half an hour later, Chen Mo returned to the hotel he had stayed in before.
When he returned to the room, Chen Mo took off all his formal clothes, changed back to his T-shirt and shorts, and then began to pack his luggage.
Chen Mo's residence in the imperial capital is outside the Fifth Ring Road, which is very far away from here and the subway is nearly an hour away. There is no way, the rent in the imperial capital is too expensive, so he can't afford to rent a house near the Third Ring Road.
However, with the experience store, Chen Mo can return the house he rented before.
