Chapter 85: Poker Without the World

Chen Jiao flipped and searched the internet, and suddenly, he slapped his head.

“Yeah, Texas poker doesn't look like it! ”

“But how could Texas Poker not have? It's not science! ”

Chen Jiao was wondering, which game is missing? Find it. There is no Texas poker in the world? Isn't that bullshit?

Chen Jiao continued to go over it, even looked for many foreign websites, and finally found out, no! There's really no Texas poker in this world!

“Sure, I just felt like something was missing. There really wasn't any Texas poker! ”

“Yes, the last puzzle of Thunder Chess has finally been found. ”

Chen Jiao was also a little excited, finally, the whole frame of the chess game was complete.

……

Texas poker is not a popular game in the country, and if you only count the amount of users, it is not as well known as the landlord and mahjong.

But Texas poker is incredibly hot in some small circles, and it's incredibly deep.

Some of the big company founders and CEOs in the IT, entrepreneurial and investment circles are extremely passionate about Texas poker, like Li Kaifu, Liu Legendary, Ma Yun, etc., and are fanatics of Texas poker.

Worldwide, Texas poker can be described as global, especially in the United States, and if someone says he plays poker, he's mostly playing Texas poker.

In the World Poker Series (WSOP), the Texas poker prize, with the first prize even reaching $10 million, was once won by a chef from Sweden who was wealthy overnight.

Maybe a lot of people are confused. Why is Texas Poker so charming?

If you sum up Texas poker differently from other pokers in one sentence: Texas poker is a stable and profitable poker game.

Yeah, it sounds fantastic, but it's true.

Other chess games, like the landlord, mahjong, and fried golden flowers, are extremely gambling in nature, technology is important, but luck is even more important. If a landlord or mahjong is a profession, earnings and losses depend heavily on luck, then gambling is no different.

And gambling is characterized by long gambling and losing, and no one can guarantee that this thing will remain stable and profitable.

But Texas poker is a game that keeps you steady and profitable, and if you keep losing Texas poker, it can only prove one thing: you're too good a cook.

Abroad, many Texas poker pro players, like PhilIvey, won 24 championships and more than a hundred coins in various games, winning over $20 million in total prizes throughout their careers.

Domestically, there are also many professional Texas poker players, with monthly earnings stabilizing at around 100,000. Texas poker is limited for a variety of reasons, but even so, there are as many as 60 million German poker players in the country.

Why is Depot a stable and profitable game? Because De Po's rules are more complicated than most poker games, you can opt out at any time, or you can double your chips directly by adding crazy bets.

Also, when playing démarches, you can judge each other's hand cards based on their behavior (betting, flat heel, etc.) and play with different strategies.

Depot is not like fried golden flower, fried golden flower is entirely on the hand card, you must win if you get a super strong card, but Depot's final win depends on five public cards, theoretically, even if your hand is the smallest different flower 27, there is a chance of winning the biggest hand versus A.

You need to be good at probability calculations, good at hiding your expression, good at guessing their hand cards through each other's behavior, and good mindset. The share of luck in wins and losses can be said to have been minimized.

Like playing with rookies, a rookie may have a better hand than a master, but it's no exaggeration that a master can crumble a rookie by playing psychology.

For games like landlord and mahjong, rookies may win one or two big games with their luck, but in Texas poker, rookies never get that chance.

……

The big frame was confirmed, and Chen Qiao started writing the design documents.

The rules of the chess game are relatively clear and simple, it is much faster than "My name is MT". This time, Chen Jiao intends to generally complete "Thundering Game Platform" and "Thundering Chess Medal" within a month, take another week to adjust, and then go live directly.

The next morning.

Chen Yu sent Su Jianyu a design outline.

“The outline has been written, you add the specific rules. Nothing related to the plot will move first. Wait for Zheng Hongxi to come and hold him responsible. This game, which you two play together, is equivalent to testing his ability to design a plot.” Chen Jiao said.

Su Jianyu received a document from Chen Yu, which surprised her somewhat that the design document was very small and only a hundred or two words.

“Lifeline? Text adventure games?” Su Jinyu was surprised.

Chen Qiao nodded: “Well, it's mainly for you and Zheng Hongxi to practice. A few points to focus on have been marked in the document. The extent to which this game can be achieved depends on the two of you. ”

Su Jinyu said: "But, manager, does this game look too simple? ”

Chen smiled and laughed: “Simple games can also be great, don't look down. Think about adding a few new ways to play under this frame. ”

Su Jianyu nodded. “Well, good. I get it.”

After handing over the Lifeline to Su Jianyu for design, Chen Jiao put all his thoughts on the Thunder Game Platform and Thunder Chess Cards.

Lifeline is a text adventure game. Chen Jiao also wants to practice this game for Zheng Hongxi to test his ability to design the drama.

When both Thundering and Lifeline are finished, Chen Jiao is about to start planning his first big game.

……

Over the next two days, Chen Jiao is mainly refining the design documents.

The user base of the three products on Thunder chess cards, Happy Fighting Landlord, Happy Mahjong, Thunder Poker (that is, Texas Poker of previous generations), do not exactly coincide, so you have to make three different games, although many of the art resources of these three games are universal, such as character appearance, prop icons, poker cards, etc.

For these resources, Chen Qiao threw them directly to the outsourcing company. Because there are also chess games in parallel worlds, these resources are full, you can use them if you want to change them, and you don't need to be too demanding about the quality of art, so the only requirement for Chen Jiao is to be quick, and you have to complete all the art resources within two weeks.

Chen's main work in chess game design focuses on two aspects, the first is to refine the relevant rules of the novice guide and the second is to make a set of rules of the playing field that other chess games do not have.
