Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 64
In fact, Su Jinyu is very clear about the content of the game as she was the one who made the whole game with the editor. It’s just that she can’t think anything fun about this game, and felt bored pondering about it.
However, considering that this game was made by herself after all, and that she can see characters such as MT, Shaman in it, and so Su Jinyu decided to play it.
Jia Peng installed the game.
The icon of the game is the face of MT, which is very foolish and cute, and is easily recognizable.
After the simple opening CG, he get to the game screen.
Chen Mo directly use the anime resource for the opening CG. Anyway, all of these is his, and he can just used them.
After you login into the Thunder Game Pass, you can then enter the game.
After entering the game, the beginning is a battle. On your side are MT, Shaman, Hunter, Rogue, Beauty and Female Thief. On the other hand, the enemies are Lady, Brick, Tyran, President, Female Virtue and Elder Sister.
In the game, players can only play with 5 cards, but in the opening battle, Chen Mo specially arranged six cards to make the battle more intense.
These cards are all in the top grade, the card frames are very delicate. The original card illustrations are very gorgeous. The letters above have simple dynamic effects and special effects.
“Well, this seems quite good.” Jia Peng was quite surprised. He had seen the original illustrations long time ago, but when it really turned into a game, the added frames, dynamics and special effects, and it instantly became different.
This part of the story was arranged by Chen Mo according to the Battle of Hillsbrad at the start of the second season of 《I am MT》, which is perfectly connected with the story of the anime.
After a simple dialogue, the two sides began fighting. Different cards’ attack engaged, the means of attacks are different. There are normal attacks, chain lightning, snipe, assassination…the actions of each cards, and even the artistic effect of the damage number, has been adjusted by Chen Mo a lot of times, which perfectly reproduce the original.
“Fierce battle!”
Jia Peng was shocked since he had thought that the battle of card games would be ordinary. Surprisingly, the battle was extraordinary.
Just like the Female Thief’s attack, the normal attack is when the card moves over the top of the target, swing its weapon in a way that shook the card, and produced a slashing effect.
While when the Female Thief released her skill, she disappears in her original position, and then instantly appeared behind the target, causing a back stab effect.
When attacking, the numbers floating out are just right, no matter in front or in zoom mode, with the hit effect and the shaking of the card in the screen, it made the player’s felt that the attack is strong.
The special effects of attacks like chain lightning, multi-shot, and other skills are also very dazzling. Although in the battle it is a pile of cards, but it doesn’t give the player a childish feeling.
“A bunch of cards can also do such thing, it seems a bit fierce.”
Jia Peng was also quite surprised, after experiencing the opening battle, the whole game actually conveys to the players such concept. It may not be a top class production, but the details of the game are very rich.
The game continues.
After the brief story tutorial, Jia Peng obtained his initial cards. Blue-rank MT and Shaman. In addition, he can choose one of the four characters as his third partner, namely, Rogue, Hunter, Druid, and Priest.
“Well, according to the anime, you should choose Priest, since she could heal HP.”
Jia Peng then chose Priest.
Afterwards, through the simple tutorial, he went to challenge a dungeon. These tutorials are simple and brief, using the most concise information from the anime to connect the various activities of the players in order to not make them feel repetitive.
Battling, getting items and experience, training the cards, drawing cards, login reward…
One of the major characteristics of domestic mobile games is that the whole process of the game, specially the first day’s game process, has been accurately planned, and every activity and tutorial is step by step guided.
On one hand, the requirement to understand and learning the gameplay is very low that even if the players are distracted, they can still be familiar with the game’s mechanics, which basically ensures that there will be no player that will quit because they couldn’t understand the game.
On the other hand, in the early stage of the game, some of the gameplay will be displayed to the players, while the other various gameplays will be scattered in order for the players to feel that the game has a relatively rich content.
Jia Peng felt like this. In fact, after seeing the cards fight for 2 – 3 times, the battle is no longer attractive, and even have the impulse to quit the game.
But every time he has this impulse, the game will just properly start a new mechanics, or give him a reward for him to continue playing.
“Huh?A purple card, Lady?” Said Wen Lingwei suddenly.
Jia Peng and the others were stupefied, “What? Where did you a purple card? Why haven’t we got one?”
“In the shop, with the 10 consecutive draws.” Said Wen Lingwei.
Jia Peng pressed on the shop, and there was indeed a 10 consecutive draw. About the tutorial for drawing cards, only a single draw was conducted at that time. Moreover, Jia Peng doesn’t have enough runes, and has only a few hundred.
“It needs 2,500 runes. Where did you get so much?” Asked Jia Peng.
Wen Lingwei said, “You are an idiot. Aren’t the game giving so many runes? Stage reward, Login rewards, Mission, first go see all the rewards you can get.”
When Jia Peng first saw it, he just goofed around and didn’t notice that there were so many rewards to get.
Receive! Receive! Receive!
He has quite a lot of completed contents in both the missions and achievements, and there are also treasure boxes from the stages and a series of boxes such as login reward, and rewards from being online in the Activities.
Jia Peng received them one by one, and found that they were all good stuff. There were gold coins, runes, experience cards, ordinary cards and so on.
After receiving varying rewards, Jia Peng found that he now have more than 2,600 runes, which is enough to use for 10 consecutive draws.
“This is a lot of runes! If you convert it, it is more than 200 RMB! Doesn’t this mean that the game is expensive? Is it because we are game tester that we got some benefits?”
The others also asked, “Yes, Manager, how can you give so much money? Is this a benefit for us game testers?”
Chen Mo shook his head and said, “That is the average runes given for being online.”
“Everyday?” Said everyone.
Chen Mo nodded, “Everyday, but more on the first day.”
Su Jinyu was slightly puzzled, “Manager, how do you plan on earning money for this game? The highest VIP level can be bought for only 50,000 RMB. If you give money like this, who will charge money?”
Chang Xiuya also said, “Yea, I don’t need to spend my runes now. Anyway, I can just save it for 10 consecutive draws.”
Chen Mo smiled, “You don’t need to think about whether you will charge or not, just think about whether you will continue to play.”
Jia Peng hesitated for a bit and said, “I’ll draw 10 consecutive draws first, and then decide whether to continue playing…”
