Almighty Game Designer

Experience the store.

Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi are busy producing Lifeline.

Others are playing with each other, and Wen Lingwei is chasing the show with a tablet on the experience shop's massage chair.

Now that the Experience Store has become Wen Lingwei's most frequent meeting place, come and see if you have anything to do. By the way, I urge Chen to make a new game.

"Everybody take a break, let's play a game. ”

“Hmm?” Su Jinyu was a little naughty. “Playing games? What game? ”

Zheng Hongxi looked up and blurred. His plot concept is stuck in a somewhere more tangled.

Jia Peng said: "Yes, boss, just what kind of game is it? ”

Chen Jiao took out a pair of cards: "Poker. ”

Jia Peng: “… I'll leave you to talk. ”

Chen Jiaye: “It's okay, you can watch, or you can be the agent. ”

Wen Lingwei said lazily: “Master, don't say that you are a land fighter. There are seven or eight of us here. ”

"It's not a landowner, it's a type of poker you've never played," said Chan. ”

Chang Xiuya was surprised: "We haven't played? Not at all? ”

"Come on, there are eight of us. Jia Peng is here to sell the cards. In that case, the table is for seven. ”

Su Jinyu asked: "Are there any demands for numbers? ”

Chen Jiao shook his head: “No requirements, 2 to 9 people can play, the rules support it. ”

Su Jinyu asked: "What about more than nine people? ”

"Well, in theory, more than nine people can play, but the table won't sit. ”

Su Jinyu: “... that's quite convenient. ”

"Come on, everyone, come to the conference room, I'll teach you to play. ”

Wen Lingwei said: “What's so funny about poker cards... have you won any rewards? I'm not coming without a reward. ”

"Of course I do," said Chan. The first prize is a gift of up to $5,000, optional. ”

“Five thousand dollars? ”

“Optional gift? ”

“Shit, it's different when the manager's rich! ”

Everyone stood up brushing and walked into the conference room.

Zheng Hongxi: “...”

Everyone sit around the long table in the conference room.

Chen did not know where to get a set of chips, wrapped in a special chip.

Su Jinyu was surprised: "Manager, what is this? ”

“Chips, um, can be understood as money," Chen said. But we can't play with money. Playing with money belongs to crowd gambling, so replace it with chips. ”

Chen Jiao said, while distributing chips to everyone.

A chip is a small, circular sign slightly larger than a coin, with different numbers on it and different colors.

Chen Jiao sent 1 500 chips, 3 100 chips, 6 25 chips and 10 5 chips per person.

“In that case, it's worth 1,000 chips per person, and whoever wins all the chips in the end wins. There will be only one winner in the end.” Chen explained.

Su Jinyu was somewhat curious to play with the chips on his hands: “Shop manager, are we really not going to be caught gambling as a crowd gathering? ”

Chen Jia: “... no, just don't throw money on the table. ”

Wen Lingwei plays with the chips on his hands and makes the sound of "Wow, Wow”: “Do I have to do this thing to play? Not like the landlord? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes, chips are required to play. All right, everybody take your seats, so, Ja Peng, you sit here, right in the middle, right, you're in charge of the cards. ”

Wen Lingwei raised his hand: “I protest. Feels like if he comes to the cards, everyone's luck will get worse. ”

Jia Peng: "... Sister, think about how I feel. ”

"It's all right," said Chan. "Anyway, it's fair that everyone's luck got worse together. ”

Jia Peng: “... I don't feel comforted at all! ”

Everybody sit down.

Chen Qiao held a poker card and spread it across the table with his back facing up: “Let's play it privately, the rules are a little simpler, one card for each person, the biggest card is Zhuang. ”

Su Jinyu asked: "What good is Zhuang? ”

"The location of the dealer is more advantageous," said Chan. Come on, draw. ”

Everyone drew cards. Wen Lingwei had originally drawn a K and thought it was the biggest. As a result, Zheng Hongxi actually drew an A.

Jia Peng said: “It's all the emperor... Cesar trembles. ”

Chen placed a doll in front of Zheng Hongxi: “This stands for the dealer, each hand will be given to the next person, moving clockwise. ”

“Let's rehearse first. ”

Chen Qiao started introducing people to Texas poker rules.

Texas poker itself belongs to a game type that is easy to get started with and difficult to master, and it's easy to get started without even five minutes to understand the rules.

At Chen Jiao's fingertips, everyone quickly played like a good person.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Qiao looked at the two hand cards again, confirmed that everyone had mastered the rules, and then went back to the second floor to continue sorting out the design documents.

Chen did not teach these people how to play Texas poker, mainly to see how well Texas poker is accepted in the world. This is also equivalent to a preview of a promotional game.

Texas poker rules are extremely complete, because there have been countless games validated in previous generations, and it can be said that there are no loopholes. But how do you use its features to promote Thunder Chess? This is the main issue that Chen Jiao is considering.

Like a Texas poker explosion abroad, it's mainly because some professional players can stabilize their profits in De Po. After all, money is the most effective stimulus because of money.

But Chen Qiao can't do this. It is illegal to play money to gather people to gamble. Second, gambling is socially dangerous. Chen Qiao doesn't want to cause some people to die because of a game he makes.

So, Chan's idea is to cut down the gambling attributes in De Po to the maximum and promote them in a competitive way. Let the players experience the joy of décolleté by playing with joy beans.

Just like the landlord and mahjong, the gambling properties have been removed and they are all good chess games.

In previous life, many big men in science and technology circles and investment circles liked to play games. It wasn't all because of money. These people were all more than 100 million, so they didn't make money by playing games.

For them, Delphi is an intellectual game that resembles entrepreneurship and investment. It is all about judging each other's behavior and deciding strategies against each other, stopping losses in a timely manner when dangers are discovered.

After verifying that Texas Poker is also very attractive to people around the world, Chen has a preliminary promotion plan in mind, which allows them to maximize users of other chess games, experience the fun of Texas Poker, and eventually stay.

……

Day after day, the development plans for Lifeline and Thunder Chess are steadily under way.

At the end of the first De Po competition, Zheng Hongxi defeated Wen Lingwei by virtue of his anti-heavenly imperial attributes and won a prize of 5,000 yuan.

Chen also made a special trophy with the inscription "First Thunder Poker Inner Championship” engraved on it.

Since then, everyone's interest has been hooked up. A few people play poker in the conference room every day, holding their breath, wanting to win the first prize and trophy next week.

Surprisingly, the deeper they play, the more hidden doorways they discover, a game that is truly "easy to get to and difficult to master”.

And two weeks later, the vast majority of people are obsessed with this kind of poker.

Of course, it's under the premise of a prize stimulus.

Without a few thousand dollars in prizes, these people would be very excited about the shortage.

As for the plot of "Lifeline", it is constantly improving, and Zheng Hongxi doesn't know how many copies he has changed, but it is also more complex and more interesting.

Chen Jiao smoothed through all the conversations, basically ensuring that the whole game was at the same pace as in previous generations. Of course, there are definitely differences in the content of the specific text, but the impact is not significant.

Both of these games are very simple for Chen Jiao, so including art resources, it was done in a month, then it was constantly adjusted, and there are some details about the user experience that need to be modified.

Over the course of the month, the seemingly calm circle of hands actually brewed a dark tide.

At least three or four gaming companies are developing card games like "My Name is MT" just because Chen Jiao heard through a number of miscellaneous channels.

This is just what Chen Qiao heard, and I don't think he heard more. In terms of progress, these games will definitely be fully developed and rolled out within two months or four months.

There is a good chance that the hand-to-hand market will have a wave of card games like Chan's past life, and players will experience the fear of being dominated by card games again.

These card games may perform differently and have different themes, but one thing must be the same: their profitability patterns and numerical architecture must be highly inspired by My Name is MT.

However, Chen Jiao doesn't care at all, which is not entirely bad news for him.

My name is MT, and the subsequent pile of card games will always live in the shadow of My name is MT, unlikely to shake my status as MT.

Instead, these games have the objective effect of "expanding the card game user base”.

Of course, these fast-paced game developers will certainly earn a lot of money, but this is inevitable. For Chen, you earn me, but I earn more than you.

Also, a huge flood of card games just distracts the game circle, and Chen Jiao has more space to pave the way for his future planning.

The real threat to MT is Knife Legend, a game that is completely innovative in play and surpasses the original domestic card, but Chan predicts that other designers want to reach the design level of Knife Legend, and it will take up to a year.

Because first-generation cards are inherently the type of games that lie down and earn money, most designers, inspired by this strong profitability, lose their motivation and even fall into the "comfort zone” and are reluctant to innovate in how first-generation cards are played.

Only when players are tired and completely bored will designers seek new change and reform the way first generation cards are played.

In the course of the year, Chen Qiao can do too much.
