Chapter 43 Version
Chen Mo explained: "I mean, your thinking is too limited. There are basically no innovations in these two design plans, just a little expanded the outline I wrote."
"Uh..." Su Jinyu was a little confused.
When Chen Mo handed her the document outline, he did mention "do more of your own designs", but Su Jinyu didn't take it too seriously.
In most cases, game designers' assistants do some repetitive work, and many designers are just one-man show and do not like assistants to make changes to their designs, and they are unwilling to even fine-tune them.
Therefore, Su Jinyu just honestly expanded Chen Mo's design documents according to the outline, without adding any of his own ideas.
The result was exactly the opposite. Chen Mo hoped that she would design according to her own ideas.
Chen Mo said: "It doesn't matter, I'll give you another three days. Remember, I want to see your own thoughts."
Su Jinyu nodded suddenly: "Yes, OK!"
Back to the first level, Su Jinyu continued to think hard.
After Su Jinyu left, Chen Mo read her design documents twice.
Indeed, the basic skills are solid and the logical thinking is good, but the biggest problem is the lack of spirituality. Now Su Jinyu is only capable of being an executor, but if you want to become a qualified designer, it is still far from being a good designer.
Very persistent, willing to endure hardships, comprehensive ability, but lack of inspiration. This is Chen Mo's current evaluation of Su Jinyu.
It may be because of her long-term thinking inertia, or it may be because of her personality.
Of course, Chen Mo could just treat Su Jinyu as an assistant and let her take full responsibility for the work of an executor, but in that case, the growth Su Jinyu could achieve was minimal.
A personality like Su Jinyu is rigorous but not mentally conscious, so Chen Mo still needs to give her some advice and train her to become a more comprehensive designer within at least a few months. In this way, Chen Mo himself can save more energy.
...
Su Jinyu racks his brains to modify the design plan every day.
The second draft has improved, but it is still unqualified.
The third draft has one or two highlights.
In the fourth draft, Chen Mo finally nodded.
"Well, although there is still some gap with what I expected, I am qualified." Chen Mo's face showed a smile.
Su Jinyu was overjoyed: "Is that so? That's great!"
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, thank you for your hard work, let's take a break. I'll revise it tonight, and the final draft will be finalized and sent to you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Su Jinyu got off work happily.
Su Jinyu wrote these four draft design documents for nearly two weeks, and finally Chen Mo was roughly satisfied.
In fact, what Chen Mo cares about is mainly some highlights in the design plan. If it is a design without highlights, even if Chen Mo passes, players will not pass it.
Chen Mo could see that the ideas in the fourth draft were already thought out by Su Jinyu, and if she thought about it, there might not be a better plan.
And the time has been delayed for a long time. Chen Mo originally planned to complete the development in two weeks, but now it has timed out. If he drags on, it will affect the progress of the next game. Chen Mo doesn't have that much time to wait.
Chen Mo turned on the computer and found out the design documents he had written.
In fact, while Su Jinyu revised the design documents over and over again, Chen Mo had already written a copy himself. However, Chen Mo did not want his ideas to affect Su Jinyu, so he did not tell her.
Comparing the two design documents, Su Jinyu's design documents that were revised for several drafts immediately seemed terrible, and from the interface to the specific functions, they were completely crushed.
Chen Mo compared Su Jinyu's documents and added better design plans to his documents part by part, and made comments to explain his design intentions.
For some things that can be changed or not, Chen Mo completely followed Su Jinyu's design plan.
It was finally finished after midnight. Chen Mo checked the compiled version update document, and there was no big problem.
Because this update is still in the game framework of "Plant vs. Zombies", there is no need to generate new projects, just change them on the original projects.
...
Early the next morning, the experience store opened on time.
Chen Mo yawned and said to Su Jinyu: "I've sent you the modified design document. You can update the content to "Plant vs. Zombies" in the editor according to the relevant rules."
"Yeah, OK." Su Jinyu nodded.
Chen Mo was still a little sleepy and went back to the second floor to sleep.
Su Jinyu turned on the computer and checked Chen Mo's modified design documents.
“…so much has been changed!”
Su Jinyu was shocked. The design documents sent by Chen Mo were more than twice as large as her previous design documents. If you carefully check the details in the design documents, almost 70% of the contents in them have been changed.
However, Chen Mo did not delete Su Jinyu's previous plan, but directly inserted the modified plan in the middle and noted the modification opinions.
"Serious, awesome..."
Su Jinyu looked through the modifications one by one in shock, and basically searched the interface and changed the functions a lot.
Su Jinyu looked and made it in the editor, feeling that he had written a fake design document before.
"The store manager is really amazing. He has made so many things in one night? This kind of work efficiency is really terrible!"
Su Jinyu's respect for Chen Mo was a little more.
In fact, these were written in advance by Chen Mo...
...
A week later, the new version of "Plant vs. Zombies" will be officially updated!
After the new version was made, Chen Mo first updated it to the computer in the experience store, played with Wen Lingwei, Jia Peng and others for a few days, and fixed several minor errors.
It was not until Chen Mo felt that there was basically no problem that he submitted it to the application market.
Soon, the players of "Plant vs. Zombies" discovered that the game had an additional update package of more than 40m and downloaded it one after another.
"Well? Plants vs. Zombies are updated with a new version?!"
"There is also a newer version of the stand-alone game, I'm so conscience!"
"I'm so awesome. I wonder what new content is there this time? Are there new plants or zombies?"
"Quick-watch update instructions, there are developer tools, and multiple players battle mode!"
"I'm going, is this going to go against the will of heaven? I'll go and have a look!"
Players were downloading the game as soon as possible, and the major player communities of "Plant vs. Zombies" were also in a panic, all discussing this completely unexpected version update.
Generally speaking, in the parallel world game circle, such single-player games rarely update versions, because the updated version cannot be charged twice, so most designers are unwilling to do such unrewarded things.
This is different from the previous life. These designers have not yet pointed out the skill point to sell DLC as their main body.
Moreover, "Plant vs. Zombies" has been online less than two months ago, and it is still quite popular now. Although the earliest group of players are a little tired of playing, new players are still pouring in.
Chapter completed!
