At the same time, Tenda Games.
Min Jingchao browsed the forum as usual, asking for the creativity of players.
It must be said that the players’ wisdom is infinite.
For example, the idea of the traveler Bao Xu, Min Jingchao thought it was great after just one glance. The hero has rich mechanics and appropriate images. The most important thing is that it fits Bao Xu's character very well.
So I accepted it on the spot.
However, good ideas like this don’t come around very often.
After all, there are only a few players who are proficient in game mechanics and understand design. Most of the creative ideas have more or less problems.
Min Jingchao’s recent daily work is to sift through the massive creative ideas provided by players, find suitable ones, and hand them over to the design team for improvement, and then enter the production process.
During the screening process, Min Jingchao also had some hidden rules.
Designers from the game department will not participate in this event.
For example, Min Jingchao has designed several heroes himself, but he does not take the profits. Because Mr. Pei has already paid him a sufficient salary for his work, and will also pay bonuses based on the game's reputation, investment and other factors, he feels that there is no reason to make more money.
I’m sorry to compete with players for 5% of the profits.
Secondly, when choosing heroes, Min Jingchao will try to choose different creators.
Unless a certain hero is significantly better than other heroes and creativity must be utilized, Min Jingchao will consider adopting two hero plans from the same designer.
Because this event itself is open to everyone, the total number of GOG heroes is limited, and there are only so many rewards. If too many rewards are taken by the same account, the motivation of other people to participate will be greatly weakened. Conducive to maintaining a healthy ecology for the entire community.
Of course, factors such as whether the hero mechanism is consistent with the game mechanism, whether the hero's characteristics are obvious, whether it overlaps with the existing hero's positioning, and whether it conflicts with other factors must also be comprehensively considered.
Min Jingchao was scrolling and scrolling when he suddenly saw the likes data of a post that seemed pretty good.
He subconsciously clicked in and found that this was a design post with pure hero mechanics.
The first skill of this hero is a short-range damage skill. After using it three times, the enemy can be knocked away. The second skill is...
"Huh? This game mechanism looks pretty good. It’s interesting.”
Min Jingchao thought about it carefully and felt that the positioning of this hero is very clear, and the mechanism itself is also very entertaining. As long as it is paired with a suitable packaging, it should be quite popular.
But the question is, what kind of packaging should we give it?
If this enthusiastic player reveals a little bit about the general story background of this hero, there will at least be a general direction. But now, except that he is a hero who is more of a warrior and more of an assassin, there is no entry point. point.
Min Jingchao clicked on this player's profile, hoping to find some inspiration.
CompleteAfter all, the idea of this hero came from this player. It would be better if the image design could be slightly related to this player.
"Huh? All Tenda games are there? This is a hardcore Tenda game player."
"Huh? "Lonely Desert Highway" was purchased so early? This is a super hardcore player."
"..."
"Isn't this Mr. Pei himself?"
Min Jingchao doesn't want to check. I knew it, but I was shocked when I checked it. It turned out to be Mr. Pei’s own account!
He confirmed again and again that yes, it was Mr. Pei!
But then, Min Jingchao fell into confusion.
If Mr. Pei wants to be a new hero, why don’t you just tell me and it’s over?
Why do you still post it on the forum and spend so much time?
If players don’t know the product and don’t like it, wouldn’t this design be in vain?
Could it be that Mr. Pei is very confident in his design and feels that even if it is mixed among the many plans of players, it will definitely stand out?
Well, judging from the results, this is the case.
But it seems that this reason alone is not sufficient.
Min Jingchao began to think divergently again. After all, "thinking more" is an essential quality for every Tengda employee.
Why didn’t this hero have a specific image?
Can’t Mr. Pei design a specific image?
Definitely not!
That was Mr. Pei’s intention.
Min Jingchao thought over and over again and finally concluded Mr. Pei’s two intentions for doing this.
First, Mr. Pei left the hero’s packaging empty, which seemed to be a test of the GOG R&D team’s ability, allowing the R&D team to speculate on its intentions and complete the hero’s appearance and story background.
Second, in view of the fierce competition between GOG and ioi, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and Mr. Pei does not want to go too far. That's why I didn't give explicit instructions, but used this implicit method.
In other words, Mr. Pei does not want others to know that he participated in the design of GOG, but just secretly helped.
This made Min Jingchao feel warm in his heart. Sure enough, the GOG project is Mr. Pei’s biological son!
As for the 5% income, it is obviously impossible for Mr. Pei to value it. What Mr. Pei cares about more should be the title [Designer of XXX].
“So, the fact that this hero was designed by Mr. Pei should be hidden, and it should be considered completely according to the design of an ordinary player.”
“Then the next question is, in the end What kind of packaging should we make for this hero? ”
“There is already a hero based on President Pei, so this hero must be designed based on someone else.”
"Who is it based on?"
"Mr. Pei must have thought about it, but he is too embarrassed to write it out."
Min Jingchao thought carefully and found that this hero seemed to be able to cooperate well with Modeste.
Because Modeste’s second skill is a road sealing + knockback effect, and the knockback itself is actually a state of floating + displacement, in theory it should be able to take on this new hero’s power. Recruited.
In other words, Modeste directly goes around and uses his second skill to seal the road + repel the enemy's key hero. The new hero takes over, and then Modeste opens up to absorb the damage. The new hero and him Cooperate to start crazy output.
Well, it’s a perfect partner!
Who is Mr. Pei’s perfect partner in reality?
Obviously it’s Boss Ruan Guangjian!
Moreover, this hero’s skills are quite consistent with the characteristics of Ruan Guangjian.
The abstract image of an artist should be light and elegant. At the same time, although Ruan Guangjian looks like an ordinary person, he has been influenced by art for many years, and his every move has the characteristics of an ancient literati.
Thinking of this, Min Jing had an idea.
Hero name: Ruan, the Poet of the Wind.
Ruan is an ancient Chinese calligrapher and painter, and his weapon is an oversized brush.
The first skill is to use the brush to write wild cursive. After three times, you can use the wild cursive brush to summon a strong wind, causing enemies on the path to be knocked away.
The second skill is to quickly draw a landscape painting surrounded by clouds and mist in front of you, blocking flying skills.
The third skill is to ride the wind, which can quickly shuttle between enemies.
The ultimate skill is Illusion, which is used to cast Illusion on enemies in a flying state. At the same time, Ruan walks in the wind and comes directly to the target from thousands of miles away, fully suppressing the target and causing damage.
After Min Jingchao matched the hero's packaging and skills, he checked them carefully again and found that they matched surprisingly well.
"Could it be that this hero was originally tailor-made for Mr. Ruan?"
"But Mr. Pei is too embarrassed to show it so obviously?"
< p> "Well, this possibility is very high. After all, in order to take care of Mr. Ruan's studio, Mr. Pei also deliberately increased the amount of money paid to the outsourcing company, just to allow Mr. Ruan to be able to work as soon as possible after coming to Jingzhou. to tide over the difficulties.""Ah, is the friendship between big guys always so implicit?"
Min Jingchao couldn't help but think about Emperor Mo in the future Canyon of the Gods. The scene where two heroes, Ste and Nguyen, fight side by side.
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!
Min Jingchao immediately began to organize the original painting request list for the hero Ruan, preparing to send it to Ruan Guangjian as soon as possible.
Since it is Mr. Ruan’s hero, the appearance of this hero is of course designed by Mr. Ruan himself.
After Traveler Bao Xu comes online, the next hero will be Ruan, the Poet of the Wind!
Min Jingchao’s work efficiency is very high. After less than two hours, a copy ofThe hero demand list for the Wind Inkman is ready.
He immediately sent this demand list to Ruan Guangjian.
......
In the Halo Studio, Ruan Guangjian continued to be busy while drinking coffee.
Suddenly, the chat software icon in the lower right corner of the computer flashed, and a window to accept the file popped up: Wind Mohist·Ruan-Hero Requirement List.xlsx.
"Huh?"
Ruan Guangjian couldn't help but be surprised that the hero design came out so quickly.
It was last Thursday or Friday, and traveler Bao Xu’s needs had just begun to be put on the schedule. Is there a new hero so soon?
Ruan Guangjian received the demand form, opened it and was stunned.
My surname is Ruan, and I also like calligraphy and painting...
He somewhat suspected that this hero was based on himself, but he also felt that this idea seemed a bit too narcissistic.
At this moment, Min Jingchao sent a message.
"Brother Ruan, yes, this is the hero designed by Mr. Pei based on you. I have added a little more details."
"However, it seems that Mr. Pei He is relatively low-key and doesn’t want others to know that this is his handiwork, so don’t show it too obviously and just know it in your heart.”
Ruan Guangjian couldn’t help but be surprised. I met him when I went to buy coffee just now. Mr. Pei is here.
In other words, President Pei had already designed a hero based on me before that?
But when he was in the Internet cafe, Mr. Pei had no intention of mentioning it...
Well, it really fits Mr. Pei's reserved character.
The last time Halo Studio moved to Jingzhou, Mr. Pei was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He didn't say anything, but in fact he quietly raised the outsourcing price to help Halo Studio tide over the difficulties.
This time it was more subtle, and he quietly created an exclusive hero for me in the game.
Ruan Guangjian couldn't help but smile, and replied: "Don't worry, I will definitely design the original painting to be very handsome!"
Min Jingchao added: "Then, the first skin Is it okay to create a skin that is linked to Modeste, and the story background of the two heroes is to be close friends?"
Ruan Guangjian smiled knowingly: "Of course, I wish I could have it."
