Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 79

The next day.

Han Lu arrived at the experience shop on time.

Looking at her appearance, she is a gentle looking girl and she seems to be either 25 or 26 years old.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Chen Mo.” Han Lu reached out to shake hands with Chen Mo.

“Let’s go to a quieter place.” Chen Mo then took Han Lu to his studio on the second floor.

The two of them had just went up the second floor, when Su Jinyu, Jia Peng and the others looked at the direction of the stairs.

“Who is that girl?” Asked Jia Peng.

Su Jinyu said, “She seems to be a reporter from a game channel that came to interview the Manager.”

Jia Peng was surprised, “To interview the Manager? My god, does the Manager already have such qualification?”

Everyone, “Terrible! The Manager seems to become popular!”

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the studio.

Chen Mo poured a glass of water for Han Lu, as both of them sat down on the sofa.

Han Lu said, “You should be very busy recently, thank you for taking the time in accepting this interview.”

Chen Mo shook his head, “Not busy at all, I’m recently taking a break.”

Han Lu coughed, “Erm, that’s okay as well.”

Why can’t this guy answer properly! Chen Mo’s first sentence on the interview made Han Lu stuck.

Chen Mo said, “It’s okay, you don’t have to be nervous and just talk casually.”

Han Lu became speechless, ‘What the hell, I am interviewing you or are you interviewing me!’

Han Lu thought for a while, “Er, where to start…”

“Let’s start with 《I am MT》, we all know that the result of this game is very good, its first monthly turnover is 23 million, and you also became well known by the whole gaming circle with this game. So, when you first planned this game, did you think that it would earn so much money?”

Chen Mo nodded, “I know.”

Han Lu, “???”

This is not the same as the scenario that she had expected!

In general, when encountering this problem, the game designers will mostly say “it was unexpected”, because the game industry itself is full of uncertainty, and no one can guarantee that the game they make will definitely be popular.

However, Chen Mo directly said that he knows that 《I am MT》 would be so profitable?

Show-off!

The first problem and she encountered such difficulties. Han Lu felt a headache and she vaguely realized that Chen Mo’s brain works different from that of ordinary people.

“Then, can you tell me how you predicted it? Or, why are you so confident about this game?”

Han Lu’s second question is on-the-spot performance. After she ask it, she took a long breath and thought that she is a professional reporter with excellent quality and have a full mark on adaptability.

Chen Mo said, “In fact, my creed when game designing is to ‘dilligently create happiness’. The reason why I could make such excellent games comes from three aspects.”

“First aspect is my love for games.”

“Second is my sincerity to the players.”

“Third is my perserverence on my dream.”

“If there’s anything else, then it would be a little bit of luck.”

“That is the reason why I think this game can be popular.”

Han Lu’s eyes slightly widened, as she couldn’t understand the words that came out of Chen Mo’s mouth.

What the hell? Love? Sincerity? Perseverance?

Is this the words of the game designer who made 《I am MT》?

All of it are just empty talks. If it is really possible to make excellent games just by love, sincerity and perserverence, then the number of excellent games in the world would be more.

Moreover, Han Lu had also done her research, and she had played 《I am MT》 and this game has no relationship at all with “love, sincerity, perserverence!”

Do you use charging money to show love and sincerity?!

Looking at Chen Mo who had seriously talk nonsense, Han Lu felt that she had encounted a great difficulties in this interview.

Should she write Chen Mo’s original words or not?

If not then how would she finish her draft?

If she write it then which players will believe it! She felt that when she write it out, the readers will question the intelligence of the reporters and editors!

Han Lu rubbed her temples and sorted out her emotions, then said, “Okay, let’s change the topic. What do you think about the low ratings of 《I am MT》, which is about 7 in the App Store? ”

Chen Mo said, “Uhm, I think this is quite normal. Because the game is free to download and it is inevitable that there will be malicious defamation from competitors. Anyway, it doesn’t cost them any money when they download the game, and so it’s normal for them to just rate it at 1 star.”

“That is why I feel sad. I have worked hard to develop a free game with pure intention, but in the end, it got maliciously smeared by competitors. It was originally a game that has a rating of 9, but now it’s around 7. How should I put it, I feel very sad!”

“My opinion is that the official App Store should stop this kind of behavior, and give justice to 《I am MT》!”

Han Lu was once again got struck dumb.

It got maliciously tarnished by competitors? That is clearly the bad reviews of angry players!

Doesn’t Chen Mo know it? How could he not! He is just talking nonsense!

Han Lu originally wanted to do a deep and explosive interview. Turns out, Chen Mo’s great skill had made her run around in circles!

Han Lu thought for a bit and said, “Uhm, I heard that in 《I am MT》, there is a card called ‘Elder Sister’ which is sold for 2,000 RMB. Many game critics says that this has seriously affected the fairness of the game itself, so what do you think about it?”

Chen Mo said, “Oh, about rare cards, well it is actually the same as collecting stamps. Do you know about stamp collecting? Some of the rare stamps are worth more than a thousand RMB, but there are also those that are worth tens of thousand RMB, right? In fact, 《I am MT》 has also a certain collection attribute, some rich players spend some money to collect the cards on the illustration books, which is what I think a recognition of the game.”

Han Lu asked, “That is to say, you are not aware at all that 《I am MT》 is an unfair game?”

Chen Mo shook his head, “You didn’t ask this question very well. Look, there is no absolutely fair game in the world. In some games, if you spend more time, then you will be more powerful. If you have a good skill, you will be more powerful. If you have great luck, then you will be more powerful. If your popularity is good, then you will be more powerful…the game itself is a small world, and it is difficult for people to be absolutely equal. Therefore, yes, I admit that 《I am MT》 is an unfair game.”

“Erm…”

Han Lu was astounded, and she felt like she is surrounded by the logic of Chen Mo and forgot what she wanted to ask.

After 2 minutes of trying to understand it, Han Lu then turned over the small book and decided to ask the next topic.

“In fact, I did some simple research before I came here. What surprised me is the amount of money the players topup in 《I am MT》. According to the calculations of professionals, the number of players recharging may account for 10% of the overall number of players of 《I am MT》, and the average amount these players recharged is about 200 RMB.”

“You should know that the average mobile game only charges about 10-50 RMB to buy the game, and these players have spent more than 200 RMB on 《I am MT》, why is that? What aspect of the game that got them attracted into spending so much money?”
