CHAPTER 394: Did Chen Jiao overdo it? (Sangen)

The final round won't start until November 5th, less than a week away.

While the S1 finals are fermenting, the Troika Game Recruitment is underway.

In the meantime, a number of tri-country themed games have begun to emerge in the official application market, basically by hand.

There are also some designers who are designing PC outings, but obviously most designers know that outings are not easy to win.

Because end games have end games evaluation criteria, hand games have hand games evaluation criteria. Unless you take an excursion to the same level as The Three Kingdoms, it's hard to be on the PC's top seller list.

These hand games are basically the same, nothing more than RPG or card games, with some innovation, but mostly minimal innovation in play and plot.

On November 2nd, many designers suddenly discovered an extra hand tour on the Thunderbolt game platform: Toshihama.

Chen Jiao didn't send a tweet, didn't do much publicity, and silently hung "Toshihama" on the Thunder Game Platform and the official application market, and it was over.

He's calm, but these designers aren't calm.

“Shit, what the hell, why did Chen Jiao suddenly make a hand tour? Toshihama? From the original Wushuang painting on the screenshot, it looks like... the theme of the Three Kingdoms? ”

“Nima, isn't that what this is all about? Chen Jiao will not enter the competition?! ”

“Sunday, when your League of Heroes is so hot, and the World Finals are well played again, why did you suddenly come back for a hand tour? Are you sick? ”

“You're pissing me off! Chan, can you give us a way out of this? Is it easy to get into a game? Do you have to get this first prize? You're pissing me off! ”

“That is, play your PC games, VR games, and play your World Finals! Stop feeding us weak chickens here, will you? ”

“You're pissing me off! I just made half the game! So I'm not even online yet! ”

“Strong protest! In order to guarantee the suspense of this game call, we ask that you disqualify Chen Jiao! ”

Although these designers are very upset, there is nothing they can do. After all, this game call is for all designers. Chen Jiao wants to participate and can't be stopped!

After a relaxation, the designers downloaded "Toshihama" and wanted to see how the game was doing and have a heart for it.

All designers know that there are plenty of games in the Three Kingdoms, but it's not easy to do. Chen Qiao already has a reputation for “Chen Qiao, must be a boutique" in the domestic game circle, so what innovations will he have in the game of the three countries?

But after a bit of fun, these designers are a little grumpy.

I don't understand how this game works.

“This game... what's the situation, the type of game you haven't seen at all? ”

“It's supposed to be a tactical game, SLG, but... I've never really seen this play before. ”

“I lost in less than 10 minutes, I don't understand! ”

“Yeah, the map of the game is a grid, the players have their own city, they have their own warlords, but the other ways to play it don't even get it. ”

“I'm confused, too. There's no copy, no plot, no player level. What the hell is this? Without mainstream thumbnail play, how does this player's game rhythm get stuck? Playing dumb? ”

“It seems to be a strike, with enemies on every plot and varying grades, starting at level 1. I only quit when I hit the third level, because the weirdness of each ground seemed to come out randomly and didn't play well. ”

“It looks like we can hit players here, but it doesn't mean anything. ”

“And is this really a trinity game? This isn't even Wei Shuwu! The place of birth is directly chosen for each state, and players in the state can fight each other, what the hell? ”

“Too many innovations! Chen Jiao, this is a completely different type of game, there is nothing in common with hand games on the market! ”

“I feel like Chen Qiao is going too far. Must be pulling his balls? ”

“Can't the players take it? ”

“It does hang. ”

“I think there must still be a lot of players to play with in terms of unfamiliar reputation and the number of users of Thunder Game Platform. ”

“It doesn't work, the quality of the game itself doesn't work, and the platform doesn't push. ”

“See, wait for the game data to come out. ”

Many designers say they don't like this game after playing Toshihama because the changes are so big!

It can be said that Toshihama is quite different from any mainstream mobile game on the market today, with no similarities whatsoever.

Not only that, but it also differs in packaging from traditional tri-country themed games.

There is no difference between Wei Shuwu and the whole map is divided into different states. Although the “state” presumption exists in the three countries, it is not particularly clear, as the layout changes during the three countries are particularly dramatic and one state may fall under two or three protagonists.

Besides, the game is really unfriendly for the newbie. Without a similar game to make the mat, the players are totally stunned after entering the Toranibachi, and they have to learn everything from scratch.

More importantly, Toshihama is a more expensive SLG game to learn from, which is too unfriendly for players.

Card players like "My name is MT" and "The Yin Yang Master" are able to get popular because it's easy to get started, whether it's fighting or all kinds of play, once you see it, once you learn it, and with some drama, it's easy to play in.

But "Toshiba" is different, whether it's the battle system, the daily play is complicated, there's no drama, and more importantly, its core fun is hidden deep.

So, for the average player, when they first come into contact with Toshiba, it's very confusing, and they have no idea what the game is really about.

Nevertheless, these designers were afraid to make a decision. After all, they were beaten in the face too often by Chen strangers.

Almost every game made by Chen Jiao is a success. Before, it felt like "My World", a building block game, could be popular with three platforms: mobile phone, PC and VR. Before, it felt like "Dark God of Destruction" could be brought back to life through a DLC. Even more so, was Chen Jiao's first field of travel?

A lot of people thought that Chen Qiao had made a move and that the Trinity Game Recruitment Campaign was no longer suspended. But after playing the game "Toshiba", a lot of people raised a little hope.

Maybe Chen Jiao really overinnovated this time, took off?
