Chapter 388: Three Kingdoms mobile game collection

As expected, after opening the editor, Chen Mo saw the announcement in a prominent position.

“Promotion of the Three Kingdoms culture-themed game season activity announcement”

In order to promote the traditional culture of the Three Kingdoms and promote the healthy development of the game industry, the games and virtual reality Committee has designated October 8th to January 8th as the “games of the Three Kingdoms” event season. All designers are invited to use their wisdom to design high-quality games of the Three Kingdoms and promote the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

1. Collecting targets

All game designers.

2. Method of participation

The Three Kingdoms games released in this season would be tacitly evaluated.

3. Design requirements

1. There was no limit to the platform, mobile games, PC games, and VR games were all available.

2. The game was rich in content, with a healthy and positive theme, which could reflect the cultural implications of the Three Kingdoms.

3. It was innovative and clearly different from the traditional Three Kingdoms game on the market.

4. It could adapt to the needs of the market and the characteristics of games in the internet era.

4. Reward content

At the end of the quarter, a Review Committee formed by the games and virtual reality Committee would review the game. While ensuring the spirit of the Three Kingdoms, the player’s response and market feedback would be important evaluation standards.

There will be one first prize, three second prizes, five third prizes, and a certain number of Excellence Awards.

Award a certificate to the winning designer, and the winning game will be recommended by the official app Store for a month.

It was signed off by the game Committee yesterday.

The format of this announcement was basically the same as the announcement from the last campaign for China themed games, but it included the Three Kingdoms games.

However, Chen Mo was more concerned about the design requirements.

In addition to not being limited by the platform and the theme meeting the culture of the Three Kingdoms, there were two more special requirements. They had to be innovative, adapt to the market demand, and adapt to the characteristics of the game in the internet era.

Chen Mo read it over and over again, and indeed, while these few lines seemed to be quite simple, they clearly reflected the direction of the game committee’s campaign.

What did it mean to adapt to the market demand? Obviously, this meant that the game had to be a game that the players loved to play and was profitable.

What did he mean by adapting to the gaming characteristics of the internet era? This meant that it would be best if the game was an online game that could support many people online, and the more people supporting it, the better.

Chen Mo summarized the requirements, and a few words flashed through his mind: Three Kingdoms, online games, strategy games, and pay-to-win.

There were many implications in the spirit of the Three Kingdoms, but the most prominent one should be strategy.

The Three Kingdoms was an era where counselors, generals, and Lords were all shining, and the various battles also reflected the wisdom of the ancient era.

For example, the three visits to the thatched cottage, the trick of injuring oneself, burning red Cliff, the trick of empty city, and so on. These were all points that were deeply rooted in the culture of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, some of these events might have been fabricated by later generations and not the real events of the Three Kingdoms period. However, it was undeniable that these stories had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, an ancient classic.

If he had to make an RPG or a hack-and-slash game, he could do it. However, to best reflect the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms culture, the best choice was still a strategy game.

Chen Mo started to think about what kind of game he should make.

There were indeed many Three Kingdoms games in his previous life, but not many of them met the requirements. In his previous life, some of the Super classic games of the Three Kingdoms, such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, were good in all aspects, but the problem was that they were not online games and could not meet the demand of hundreds or thousands of people playing online games at the same time.

Moreover, according to the game committee’s requirements, the game had to be ‘popular’ and ‘suitable for the internet era’. A standalone game meant that it could only be sold per set, and the profitability would be far worse. It also didn’t fit the characteristics of online games.

Also, Chen Mo was in Shanghai, so he didn’t plan on returning to the capital. He planned to take care of the game himself, apart from the art resources. It would be more difficult to make a large PC game.

“Kill of the Three Kingdoms” wasn’t bad either, but Chen Mo felt that it should be categorized as a board game. Even though the playstyle and packaging fit perfectly with the Three Kingdoms, it was still limited to the “table” category and couldn’t bring out the characteristics of a large-scale war between countries.

After some thought, Chen Mo came up with a suitable game.

Before he started production, he decided to give su Jinyu a call.

Very quickly, the call went through.

“Hello? Manager, have you seen the game recruitment event?” Su Jinyu asked.

“Yeah, I did,” Chen Zhao said.

Su Jinyu,[are we not going to participate?] Or should we ignore the S1 finals for now and head back to the capital?”

Time was tight as the finals would only be over on the 5th of November. If they returned to the imperial capital to make the game by then, it would be a month late, which was why Su Jinyu asked.

“I’ll do it myself this time,” Chen Zhao said.”You guys can just continue watching.”

“Huh?”

“Yes, I’ll spend a month to make a mobile game. It’s not difficult. You guys don’t have to do anything, I’ll send the relevant art requirements to the art team in the capital and have them come up with the material for me. I’ll handle everything else myself. ” Chen Zhao said.

“Uh, manager, Qian Kun, Zheng Hongxi, and I are free these days. We can help.” Su Jinyu said.

Chen Mo laughed,”no need. The game I’m making isn’t that difficult. It’s just a piece of cake for me to do it myself. I’ll just look for you guys if I need your help.”

“Alright then, manager. Good luck.” Su Jinyu was dumbfounded.

……

It wasn’t just Chen Mo, the other video game designers also saw the theme game gathering.

“The game Committee has a new game recruitment event? It’s the Three Kingdoms theme this time. ”

“The Three Kingdoms game … Is not easy to do.”

“Ah? Why? isn’t the Three Kingdoms game the best subject matter?”

“This is something you don’t understand. Indeed, any game that was wrapped in the Three Kingdoms would be considered a Three Kingdoms game, but if you wanted to make it good and unique? It was too difficult! Because this subject matter has been done too badly, there are many mediocre works and few outstanding works!”

“Also, the game Committee has an additional request this time. They want it to meet market demand? And it would be best if it was an online game?”

“It’s not easy. Think about the China themed game last time, Wulin legend was the winner. No one in China could make a wuxia game like that with its rich story and high level of freedom. There will definitely be more people participating in this ‘Three Kingdoms’ event. I feel like it’ll be difficult to break out of the encirclement with so many people!”

“I just want to ask, Chen Zhao probably won’t be joining this time, right?”

“Well … I don’t think so. League of Legends is very popular now, and the world Finals are at a critical moment. He should be in Shanghai watching the world Finals. Besides, with his current qualifications, he probably doesn’t care about the prize in this event. ”

“Yeah, he’s already an Honorary Committee member and has a good relationship with the game Committee. He probably doesn’t need to suck up to them anymore.”

“That’s great, I’m more confident now that Chen Mo isn’t participating. The Three Kingdoms theme is also my type, I’ll do it well this time!”
