Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 59
In the experience shop, Su Jinyu is working hard at the front desk.
Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya whispered to each other.
“I heard that yesterday, senior Jinyu, after seeing the design document, went to see the manager? What happened afterwards?” Asked Chang Xiuya.
Jia Peng shook his head, “I don’t know. They talked for about an hour, and then Jinyu came down and started doing the new project according to the design documents of the manager.”
Chang Xiuya softly said, “She didn’t say anything?”
Jia Peng shook his head again, “Nope.”
Chang Xiuya wondered, “That is to say, she agreed with the thoughts of the manager? The game was approved?”
Jia Peng hesitated, “I don’t think so. Her current attitude is more like ‘laying aside the dispute and developing it together’.”
Chang Xiuya is somewhat worried, “What should we do?”
Jia Peng said, “What else can we do? Let’s not mix with the onlookers. Manager must have his own ideas. If we interfere, we will just end up adding to the chaos.”
Chang Xiuya nodded, “Yea, we should just continue drawing monster cards.”
The atmosphere in the experience shop is a little dull, mainly because everyone wasn’t optimistic about this new game called 《I am MT》. From the existing rules and gameplay, it is a bit puzzling.
Can this type of game that has never appeared before, work?
“Hello, is this the Thunder Game experience shop?”
Su Jinyu was stunned as she looked up and saw a courier at the entrance. She then confirmed from her seat.
Su Jinyu stoop up and said, “Yes, you have something to deliver? You can just hand it to me.”
The courier came in carrying a box, “This is for Mr. Chen Mo, who ordered a projector. Please open the box and check if there is no problem, and I will help in installing it.”
Projector?
Su Jinyu was shocked, what does Chen Mo plan to do with the projector?
Chen Mo had come downstair, “Open the box. Hoist the projector on the ceiling and install the curtain on that wall.”
The courier brother’s hands and feet were very agile, unpacking, unpacking, installing, it only took half an hour since the start and everything was completed.
“Turn it on and check if it works.” The courier brother wiped his sweat.
The projector is connected to Su Jinyu’s computer. Chen Mo pulled the curtains of several windows of the experience shop and adjusted the projection effect.
The result wasn’t bad.
“Uhm, it’s good. Then, I’ll just call you for the after-sales service if there is any problem in the future.” Said Chen Mo.
“Okay.” The courier brother picked up his things and took away the garbage with him.
Jia Peng was surprised, “Manager, you bought a projector? What will you use it for?”
Chen Mo says to Su Jinyu, “Open the video that I sent to you.”
“Video?” Su Jinyu looked at her computer sceen. Indeed, Chen Mo had sent her a video file with the name of the first episode of the first season of 《I am MT》.
The video was opened, then a video screen apeared on the projector.
Chen Mo said, “Everyone has been working hard in this period of time, so let’s all watched a small film together to relaxed.”
Everyone was slightly curious. ‘Is this the anime that Chen Mo was busily doing previously?’
About this anime, from the character design to the script, it was all arranged by Chen Mo. The others have no idea about the plot, and they all thought that it would take a longer time to make, but the first episode was made so soon?
On the projection screen, the logo of Thunder Interactive Entertainment and Dazzling Aurora studio flashed by.
The anime’s opening is a magnificent view, BGM, and the eloquent narration began to tell the background of the world.
“In the vast continent of Azeroth, there live many races. They live, reproduce, struggle and have created a splendid civilization together.”
“It has been many years since the Alliance and the Horde fought side by side against the invasion of the Burning Legion. Athough the battle succeeded in saving Azeroth, but the fragile agreement between the Horde and the Alliance was long gone.”
“Now, the drums of war resounded once more. The Alliance camp led by the humans, and the Horde camp led by the orcs are fighting against each other once again…”
“Our story begins with the Tauren tribe…”
Many sceneries flashed by, including the magnificent Stormwind City, the heavily guarded Orgrimmar, the tranquil Darnassus…different races, different landscapes, and the whole of Azeroth was all revealed in a short narration.
Finally, the camera turns to a dumb Tauren.
Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu were sitting together, and both of them were surprised.
This anime’s quality is very high!
After all, it was produced by Dazzling Aurora studio. The graphics, sound effect, narration, and some details are all well done, and you can clearly feel the seriousness of the producer.
They estimated that the manager didn’t spend less.
What’s more, the narration and the scenes ahead had also attracted the attention of everyone.
Although it’s just a few words, but the world settings of the anime was fully shown. This is obviously a western fantasy world. There are many western fantasy classic races, such as orcs, dwarves, and so on. as well as some classic western fantasy scenes.
Moreover, the world settings of the anime is very rich, which can be roughly feel from the narration.
The whole world is called Azeroth, and there are at least 7~8 races. There are alliances and struggles among various races. At present, they are divided into 2 camps, one is the Alliance led by humans, and the other is the Horde led by orcs, and the 2 are hostile against each other.
“The world view is quite grand, but the specific plot will still need to be seen.” Said Wen Lingwei.
A part of the opening directly attracted everyone’s attention.
This is exactly what Chen Mo wants to achieve.
Why is Chen Mo so confident in 《I am MT》? Because its world settings comes from 《World of Warcraft》, and how powerful is the world settings of 《World of Warcraft》 in terms of cultural export ability, does it need to be questioned?
Even if the game 《World of Warcraft》 is gone, its world settings and plot are also second to none.
Just like before the popularity of Harry Potter, how many Chinese people knew and loved the wizard culture? Many people knew nothing about it, but it didn’t affect the popularity of Harry Potter.
Classic things will still be classic everywhere. In another word, it will nevertheless remain classic.
On the surface, Chen Mo remake on 《I am MT》 is in fact, making a mixture of 《I am MT》 and 《World of Warcraft》. Using the plot of 《I am MT》 and the story background of 《World of Warcraft》 in order for him to really make 《I am MT》 into a complete work.
Just like this opening, through a narration and scene switching to naturally explain the background of the whole story to the audience, so that they can accept the relevant settings of Azeroth and its various races.
Chen Mo is now like a dual wielding Titan warrior. His left hand brandishing 《I am MT》, and his right hand brandishing 《World of Warcraft》.
The audiences of this world doesn’t understand 《World of Warcraft》? It doesn’t matter. With the first stage of his plot skill being full, Chen Mo can completely insert the world view of 《World of Warcraft》 into 《I am MT》 and feed the audience one mouthful at a time.
Of course, if Chen Mo has the ability in the future, he will bring more game culture of his previous world into this world, but for Chen Mo, making such an anime is his current limit. For the time being, he is unable to do a large-scale high quality game as 《World of Warcraft》, and he doesn’t have the money to make a big movie of World of Warcraft.
