There were also two new items that caught Chen Moâs attention.
âFear shrouding device: after using it, you will lose your sense of fear and be able to think with absolute rationality. Lasts for 30 minutes.â
Chen Zhao was speechless. What the hell was this? âIâm not on the night shift to guard the gate, nor am I a Cemetery caretaker. Is this thing ... To boost my courage?â
[Intelligence-reducing Halo: after using it, your targetâs intelligence will short-circuit, making it easier for you to dupe him. During this period, as long as the other party agrees with your opinion, it will continue to be in effect. Lasts for 10 minutes.]
This seemed to be quite useful. The next time Jin jieguang came to the experience store, he could use this item and complete the forced deception in three minutes.
However, she felt that he probably wouldnât come again ...
After using up all the skill books, Chen Mo started thinking about the new game.
At the moment, League of Legends had already gained a firm foothold on the PC side and was expected to become the most popular PC game.
However, Chen Mo also knew that the situation in this world was different from his previous life. In his previous life, when League of Legends was released, the PC was the most popular game. At that time, there were no VR games, and mobile games were still in their primitive state.
In this special environment, League of Legends quickly dominated the market because it was very suitable for PC games. In two or three years, it became the most popular game in the world, creating a miracle in the history of gaming.
However, in the parallel world, VR, PC, and mobile platforms were all very developed. PC didnât dominate the game like it did in his previous life. Instead, it was being squeezed to the point where it felt uncomfortable.
It was foreseeable that as League of Legends continued to develop, it would definitely dominate the PC market, but mobile and VR games would not be affected by League of Legends.
Therefore, it wasnât realistic to rely on League of Legends to rise to the top.
......
The biggest benefit of League of Legends to Chen Mo was that he now had a Golden Brand and a long-lasting money tree on PC. Even though this money tree was still a small sapling, it would grow very quickly.
Moreover, the e-sports related industries that were derived from League of Legends were also one of Chen Moâs plans.
After Chinaâs distributors had surrounded and suppressed Thunderbolt gaming platform, they went bankrupt with the sudden appearance of League of Legends. Now, Thunderbolt gaming platform had a firm foothold, at least to the point where it could stand up to these traditional distributors.
Of course, it was impossible to completely crush these traditional distributors. Just like how popular League of Legends was in his previous life, it was impossible for Penguin to completely monopolize the gameâs distribution channels despite having so many users. Moreover, Chen Mo didnât have a weapon like Penguin in his parallel world.
These traditional distributors would definitely adopt measures like lowering their cut or introducing various benefits to attract independent video game designers to release their games.
However, Chen Moâs goal had been achieved, which was to reverse the marketâs status of âdistribution channels being Kingâ, allowing the entire game market to develop in a healthy direction.
Next, Chen Mo decided to focus his attention on VR.
Chen Mo had released a VR game called Minecraft before, but this game was basically taking advantage of a loophole. Its success model was completely different from the current VR games on the market. It could be said that it was a product that couldnât be replicated.
This was a bit similar to League of Legends. They were both ânon-mass-producedâ works, and they might only appear once in a while, the result of a genius designerâs inspiration.
Chen Mo wanted to try out games that could be âmass-producedâ. These games had a clear production process and were extremely immersive, which was a new development for Chen Mo.
However, before deciding on the next game, Chen Mo decided to visit the game Committee and see Qiao Hua.
Because the next game he was going to make was a little special and he wasnât sure if it would pass the vetting process, so he had to let them know in advance.
Chen Zhao wasnât sure if he could succeed this time. However, he had just drawn a new item,âintelligence-reducing Halo,â so he hoped that it would be useful.
Chen Mo went through the concept draft for the new game and headed to the game Committee with it.
He had already been here once when he was working on Diablo, so he was familiar with the place. He went straight to the game committeeâs office and found Qiao Huaâs office.
Chen Zhao knocked on the door.
âPlease come in.â Qiao Hua said.
Chen Mo entered the office and nodded at Qiao Hua.âMinister Qiao.â
Qiao Hua smiled,âChen Mo, youâre here. Have a seat.â I still have something to do, so I donât have much time. Letâs make it short, okay?â
Chen Mo nodded.âYes, itâs about the new game. Iâve brought the concept draft. Take a look.â
As Chen Mo spoke, he handed the concept draft to Qiao Hua.
The game Committee didnât have much of a bureaucratic air, which might be related to the characteristics of the department and the personality of Chairman Zhang Zhongxiang.
Chen Mo and Qiao Hua had known each other for a long time. It was Qiao Hua who had pulled Chen Mo into the game Committee, so they were very close and had a lot of free time in private.
Chen Mo first showed the design draft to Qiao Hua to let him know, and when Qiao Hua felt that there were no problems, he would send it for review. It would most likely be done.
Qiao Hua took the design document and flipped through it as he said,ââFor you to come all the way here, it seems that this game is the type thatâs hard to get approval.â
Chen Zhao smiled and didnât reply.
Indeed, if the game was easy to review, Chen Mo wouldnât have to make the trip himself, he would just have to submit the relevant materials according to the standard process. It was precisely because it was easy to be beaten back if the game was played normally that Chen Mo had to inform Qiao Hua first.
Qiao Hua flipped through the design document and furrowed his brows.ââEscape?â
Chen Mo nodded,âyes, I want to make a horror game.â
Qiao Huaâs expression was grave as he finished reading the design document. After some thought, he flipped to the first page and read it again.
After reading it twice, Qiao Hua raised his head and looked at Chen Mo. âYour game is indeed not easy to pass.â
âDiabloâs review was already a little too far-fetched, but we can still use ancient western adventure and role-playing themes to cover it up. After all, that game is on a PC and follows the traditional way of leveling up by killing monsters. Itâs just that the graphics are a little more evil, but thatâs still fine.â
âBut there are too many sensitive factors in outlast. For example, thereâs a lot of blood, horror scenes, and corpses all over the ground. Most importantly, itâs a first person VR game, so the visual impact is too strong. The immersion is on a completely different level from Diablo, itâs ... Itâs really hard to say. â
