Chapter 874 Environmental interaction mechanism
Translator 549690339
âThe 39 lucky ones were in a large conference room in Thunderbolt Entertainmentâs headquarters, nervously waiting for Chen Moâs arrival. â
These people were the graduates that the judges thought had outstanding abilities after going through many rounds of selection. They were also the graduates that Chen Mo had screened to qualify for Thunderbolt entertainment.
âThese people had different specializations and were good at different types of games. However, their faces were filled with excitement and joy. â
âTo be able to join Thunderbolt entertainment right after graduation, to work with the best video game designers in the country, and even the world, to create a world-shocking video game together, how could anyone not be excited? â
âMany people were exchanging contact information, and some of them had already known each other during the competition. â
âHowever, they still had one last test. â
âChen Mo would personally come up with a question, and this question would determine if they could advance further in Thunderbolt entertainment. â
âIf they didnât answer well, they might be sent to a less well-developed team. Only those that Chen Mo was satisfied with would be qualified to enter the core and frontlines of the team. â
âOf course, these marginalized project teams were not necessarily bad. They might even make more money. â
âIn reality, almost every game Thunderbolt entertainment released was a top quality game. If a fresh graduate was ââunfortunatelyââ assigned to a stable online game project like mobile Legends, League of Legends, or PlayerUnknownâs Battleground, that would still be an amazing achievement. The prize money alone might make people die from envy. â
âHowever, these fresh graduates were selected from the entire country, after all. The acceptance rate was even lower than the top two universities. They came here to be the best designers, and each of them thought highly of themselves. With such a great opportunity, they would definitely work hard to fight for it. â
âAfter a while, Chen Zhao pushed the door open and entered. â
âEveryone knew who Chen Mo was, so the entire meeting room was silent. The graduates all sat up straight and looked at the young man in front of them curiously. â
âYes, he finally saw a living Chen Zhao! â
She looked even younger in person than in the photo.
And ... He didnât put on any airs at all.
âHowever, he seemed to have a very strong aura, or rather ... A very strong self-confidence. â
Chen Mo looked at the people in the conference room with a smile.
âââHello, everyone. You all know me and the purpose of my visit, so Iâll make it short. ââ â
âââFirst of all, I would like to congratulate everyone for standing out in this competition and getting the chance to join Thunderbolt entertainment. From now on, I hope that everyone will not forget their original aspirations and maintain their passion and enthusiasm for the game industry. Together, we will create better games for the players. ââ â
âââEven though youâve all been given the chance to enter Thunderbolt entertainment, Iâll still have one last question. This is my personal test for everyone.ââ â
âââThis question isnât difficult, but itâs not easy to stand out. You only have three hours. ââ â
âââWithin three hours, I want you to come up with a system design draft in this conference room.ââ â
âChen Mo paused for a moment before continuing,ââthe student who answers the best will get a great opportunity ââ Iâm going to give you a chance. ââYouâll be directly involved in the development of my new project. ââ â
âAs soon as he finished speaking, many peopleâs eyes were already shining. â
To be able to directly participate in Chen Moâs new project!
This also meant that his name would be in the final production crew list for the next world-shocking Triple-A masterpiece!
âObviously, this was a dream come true for the new players. In order to ensure research and development efficiency, the members of the R & D teams of big companies and big IPS were relatively fixed. Many companies would let newcomers practice on peripheral projects first. After accumulating a certain amount of experience and being mature and reliable enough, they would be transferred to core projects. â
âAnd this time, everyone had the chance to participate in Chen Moâs new project? â
âEven if it was just to visit and learn, it would be a great fortune! â
âEveryone looked at Chen Zhao expectantly, wanting to know what kind of question he would ask. â
âChen Mo looked at the time and asked,ââhow many of you here have played Dark Souls?ââ â
Almost everyone raised their hands.
âââHow many people have passed?ââ Chen Mo asked. â
âThis time, less than a quarter of the people raised their hands. â
âSeeing that the people who didnât get through were panicking, Chen Zhao smiled and waved his hand.ââââIt doesnât matter. This wonât affect my judgment of everyone. Designers werenât professional gamers. They only needed to figure out the gameâs mechanics and understand them thoroughly. If they really couldnât adapt, there was no need to force themselves to be tortured. All right, this is just a small interlude. You all know that Dark Souls is made with Pangu yinqing, right?ââ â
Everyone nodded in agreement.
âChen Mo said,ââguys, do you think Dark Soulsââ combat system is good enough?ââ Is there any more room for improvement?ââ â
Everyone looked at each other.
Was there one or not?
âA large part of the reason why Dark Souls won the Game of the Year award was because of the bonus points from its combat system. This combat system even directly influenced a large number of AAA games that came later, and even created a new term called ââsoul-type combat.ââ If one wanted to find any flaws in such a classic combat system, they would have to consider their own capabilities first, right? â
âHowever, the systemâs answer was perfect? Chen Zhao would definitely not be satisfied. â
âSeeing that no one dared to say anything, Chen Zhao smiled.ââââAlright, Iâll answer for you. The combat system of Dark Souls is special and perfect. For this game, this combat system is basically the best. ââ â
âHe paused for a moment.ââBut ... This doesnât mean that thereâs no room for improvement in soul-type combat. In another type of game, this combat system can be even better.ââ â
âââI mean, the environmental interaction mechanism.ââ â
âSeeing that most of them were confused, Chen Zhao explained,ââââIn the black soul, everyone should have used terrain kill, right? For example, smacking blade bro can be seduced into jumping off a cliff. This is actually a very realistic environmental interaction mechanism. ââ â
âââIn other words, your combat behavior will interact with the environment, resulting in a result that is beneficial or harmful to you. The black soul acquiesces to this method because âfallingâ is something that will happen in real battles. ââ â
âââThis kind of environmental interaction mechanism will make the battles in the game more realistic, and it will also allow more variety of ways to win. â
âââYes, we encourage players to use various means to win, which is what many people call a meme âDespicable foreignerâ. The players like this design and will use their intelligence to the fullest. ââ â
âââThe topic this time is ââ â
âââDesign a unique combat system around the âenvironmental interaction mechanismâ.ââ â
