Chapter 440: Chen Mo's speech
Chapter 440: Chen Mo's speechChen Zhao was here too?
This was something he had never expected.
Other video game designers might be able to learn something from this exchange, but Chen Mo was too good at competitive games, what was the point of coming here?
However, since he was already here, he couldnt just let him go.
The host didnt invite Chen Mo at first, mainly because of Chen Mos relationship with Emperor dynasty entertainment. But now that Chen Mo was already here, he had to go up and talk.
The host avoided everyones line of sight and went to Chen Mos side,Hello, is this Mr. Chen Zhao? You should have a lot of say in this issue, can you please go up and talk about it?
Many other designers also noticed Chen Mo in the back row.
Eh? Isnt that Chen Zhao?
The designer of League of Legends and the Overwatch?
Damn, why is he so low-key? did he sit in the back seat the entire time? I didnt notice.
Why didnt he go up and talk? He seems to be the one who has the most say in this issue, right?
Chen Mo, go up and talk!
Yeah, boss Chen Mo, tell us!
More and more people began to notice it, and the cheers were getting louder and louder.
Chen Mo was only here to listen to the lecture, but seeing the crowds enthusiasm, he could only stand up helplessly and walk up to the podium.
Reading on Mybo xno vel. com ,Please! The designers were all discussing.
Sure, sure. We should listen to Chen Mos speech, especially since boss Lin said that our company hasnt made a good competitive game yet. If we can make it, well definitely have the resources to promote it, and then well be able to reach the sky like League of Legends.
Yeah, President Lin has been eyeing League of Legends for a long time, but no one has been able to make it. I hope that Chen Mo can make some of it this time, then we can make competitive games too!
Sigh, the ancient catastrophe
Alright, thats enough. Just listen.
Chen Mo glanced at the designers in the audience. He didnt know most of them, but he could roughly guess their identity.
Most of them were from Emperor dynasty entertainment, ZEN Entertainment, and other video game designers. After all, the exchange was organized by the designers of Emperor dynasty entertainment, so it wasnt surprising that most of the people attending were designers from Emperor dynasty entertainment.
Of course, there were other independent video game designers, but they were all seated in the last row, and most of them knew Chen Mo.
Chen Zhao touched the bracelet on his left hand with his right hand and thought for two minutes.
The topic of the conference had basically shifted from League of Legends to the Overwatch.
There was no need to elaborate on the success of League of Legends on the PC, but to make a competitive game that surpassed League of Legends on the PC?
Most of the designers were clear-headed, they knew that this was difficult, basically impossible.
After the defeat of COG and ancient catastrophe, the two competitors in the same field, League of Legends had occupied the absolute dominant position in the MOBA field.
Did he want to use other MOBA games to shake the status of League of Legends? It was basically impossible, because in the current League of Legends, whether it was character design, game play, or related events, it was far ahead of everyone else.
Competitive games were different from single-player games as they were unique. In other words, once players played League of Legends, they would not touch other MOBA games unless the game was ruined. There would only be one winner in the market segment.
MOBA players wouldnt be like single-player gamers, buying every new game they came up with.
Therefore, everyone turned their attention to the VR field and the Overwatch.
Even though Overwatch didnt have any ranking or related competitions, most of the designers guessed that the game would follow the path of League of Legends.
The reason was simple. Overwatch was completely free of charge with no threshold, its battles were absolutely fair and had no growth potential, and it had a rich variety of tactics. All its characteristics were extremely similar to League of Legends.
Many video game designers had naturally thought that Chen Mo made Overwatch to recreate the success of League of Legends in the VR industry.
Of course, whether that was the case or not would depend on what Chen Zhao said.
Chen Mo cleared his throat and said,A few designers have said this before. I think competitive games will become the mainstream game in the future, and obviously, the success of League of Legends has proven this.
Why? In fact, many people didnt get to the point. The fundamental reason was that competitive games were a game between people, so it had a strong replayable attribute and met the multiple needs of the players: Its to become stronger, to show off, to cooperate, to socialize, to research, and so on. Moreover, its depth of the game is better than most games.
Ive always felt that as a videogame designer, you can not understand games, but you cant not understand human nature. You dont have to know anything about game design concepts, but you have to know what the players want.
Obviously, in this aspect, competitive games are definitely better than any other game genre on the market. Moreover, it has extremely high derivative value, which is esports.
League of Legends first seasons global Grand Finals have more than 8 million spectators. Although League of Legends isnt making any profits at the moment, this number alone already shows its huge value.
After the new year, Thunderbolt entertainment will also set up a special department to be in charge of esports-related matters.
Thats why I feel that todays exchange is very good. Obviously, everyone has a good sense of smell and has recognized the good prospects of competitive games.
Chen Mos speech came to an end, and the audience gave him a round of applause.
As expected, the big boss is different the moment he opens his mouth. Hes even more convincing than the previous people!
Yes, and as the designer of League of Legends, he does have the confidence to say that!
Thats a really good line,you dont understand games, but you cant not understand human nature. Look at the videographers who were analyzing competitive games from all angles, and Chen Mos one sentence was enough to kill them all: Thats human nature, players just love to play!
Listen up, I feel like Chen Mo is going to release a lot of useful stuff this time! Lets listen more, maybe we can write a good design draft and get President Lins appreciation!
Thats right. As long as we can get boss Lins recognition, well have no problem in terms of resources or channels. Maybe well be able to reach the sky in a single bound like League of Legends!
