Almighty Game Designer

“Domestic Card Games” is an exclusive concept that is entirely different from the “Card Games" such as Furnace Stone Legend and Magic.

Like The Legend of the Knife Tower and The Yin Yang Master, although their battle systems and expressions are completely unbridled with cards, their kernels are similar.

The so-called "domestic card game” is represented by "My name is MT". Card acquisition, cultivation, and rivalry are the core pleasures of hand games, and their manifestations are constantly evolving.

From the card battle I call MT, to the dynamic battle of the 2D characters in the Legend of the Knife Tower, to the full 3D round of Yin Yang Master, the battle takes different forms, but the kernel is the same, so they are all considered “domestic card games”.

Before finalizing the new game, Chan decided to go to the forum to research the players' feedback on the current popular card game before deciding which game to develop.

……

"I'm MT" official forum.

“There's a new game coming online recently, it looks like it's using a day-to-day IP. Anyone want to play with it? ”

“No, there are too many games like this. Aren't you tired of playing? ”

“To be honest, playing too much is like" I'm MT ", the old routine is back and forth, I've played a few other games before, but in the end, I came back, I went online every day to complete my daily tasks, and smoked 10 times in a row. ”

“Yeah, it was actually fun when" I'm MT "first came out, and it felt fresh. Too many gamers are now playing cards with the wind, it's a little puke. ”

“This game model has been copied for over a year and still makes so much money, it's a fucking miracle. ”

“Well, unfortunately, these designers learned nothing but Kryptonite Gold from Chen Jiao, and Chen Jiao's innovation was not learned at all. ”

“Yeah, I call it MT, but it's a great game to lead the trend. Chen stranger still has a lot of ghost ideas, I can't accept it. ”

“Unfortunately, Chen Jiao doesn't do this kind of hand swimming anymore, even for the updated version of" My Name is MT ". ”

“I can't help it, Chen Jiao is now playing PC swimming. After making enough money, he can change the boutique game route. I think the development prospects there are better. ”

“Though this is a good thing, I still hope Chen Jiao comes out with a sequel to" My Name is MT ". ”

“I've heard that several gaming companies have been considering switching cardholders' performance lately, and I don't know how it works. ”

“A change of expression? ”

“Yes, it's no longer a card fight, it's a 3D character, so the game must have a lot more combat footage than a card. ”

“Yeah, well, you could think about it, but I hope you can make some innovations. ”

……

Turning to some of the bigger forums, watching the player reviews under a few popular card games, Chen Jiao is basically in the bottom of his mind.

For him, this is a very accurate point in time, and this is a critical transition period, where players are tired of the traditional first-generation card model, and game designers have yet to figure out the direction of the transition.

Previously, the market for first-generation card games had always been a period of development, and designers were basically able to make money by turning their skins, so they didn't have much incentive to overhaul the game mode.

But by this stage, many cardholder players have already played 2-3 cardholder games, they are a little tired of playing, then simply turn the skin on, without a good IP, they can't make much money.

So these designers had to change their minds and start thinking about how to innovate.

The easiest innovation to think of is the art performance aspect.

The world's current mobile technology is capable of supporting 3D giant hand swimming, so card swimming evolves much faster than Chen's previous life.

In Chen's previous life, "My name is MT" was launched in January 2013, "Legend of the Knife Tower" was launched in July 2014, and "Yin Yang Master" was launched in June 2016.

Basically every major innovation takes at least a year and a half to two years. This is not only limited by the accumulation of design ideas, but also by the configuration of the phone.

But in parallel worlds, because mobile technology can support 3D giant hand swimming, there's more room for designers, and now there's a card game selling horizontal 2D character fights, six months faster than in previous life.

Although these games are less playful than Knife Legend, they have outperformed Knife Legend and even many of the later types of Knife Legend hand games.

If we had another six months, we might have a 3D card player with great art quality.

Chen Jiao certainly won't let go of this wind, now the card game market is big enough, players almost reached the peak of their calls for innovative card games, while other game designers later realized that they were not aware of the next innovation direction of card hand swimming.

It's time for players to recall the fear of "creating happiness with your heart”.

……

In the studio, Chen Jiao hooked a drawing on a hand-painted board, and soon a handsome man with white hair and folded fans appeared on the screen.

Yin Yang Master, Abe Sunshine.

In fact, for Chen Jiao, he can now do "Legend of the Knife Tower" and "Yin Yang Master", but considering that, he decided to become "Yin Yang Master".

Legend of the Knife Tower is also a very classic card player innovation, saying that it is not excessive to go beyond "My Name is MT," but the problem is that its art level is relatively backward, and there is no DOTA in parallel worlds, and it has no IP advantage.

Chen Yu's intention this time is to harvest the entire card player tour market, walk the road out of the way at once, so that no one else can walk.

From the experience of previous generations, "Legend of the Knife Tower" and "My name is MT" are similar, their art level is not top notch, they are mainly innovations in play.

Innovations in how card games are played are easily “borrowed” by other designers, and it is for this reason that both games are “borrowed” over and over again, and even some "borrowed” their games are reversing their earnings.

"Yin Yang Master" does not have this problem. This game is superb in terms of images, music, drama, people, etc., in the field of hand games. After two years online, none of the games can reach its standard. Chen Qiao has no fear of being copied.

As for FGO, Chen Jiao is unable to remove all the IP from the entire FATE series at this time, so it can only be put on hold for now.

Chen Jiao opened the document and began writing the design concept draft of Yin Yang Master.

“You copied" My name is MT "for a whole year. You also helped me expand the user base of card games. Everyone is quite clear. Next up, you can do it all.” Chen smiled.
