“The 39 lucky ones were in a large conference room in Thunderbolt Entertainment’s headquarters, nervously waiting for Chen Mo’s arrival. ”

These people were the graduates that the judges thought had outstanding abilities after going through many rounds of selection. They were also the graduates that Chen Mo had screened to qualify for Thunderbolt entertainment.

“These people had different specializations and were good at different types of games. However, their faces were filled with excitement and joy. ”

“To be able to join Thunderbolt entertainment right after graduation, to work with the best video game designers in the country, and even the world, to create a world-shocking video game together, how could anyone not be excited? ”

“Many people were exchanging contact information, and some of them had already known each other during the competition. ”

“However, they still had one last test. ”

“Chen Mo would personally come up with a question, and this question would determine if they could advance further in Thunderbolt entertainment. ”

“If they didn’t answer well, they might be sent to a less well-developed team. Only those that Chen Mo was satisfied with would be qualified to enter the core and frontlines of the team. ”

“Of course, these marginalized project teams were not necessarily bad. They might even make more money. ”

“In reality, almost every game Thunderbolt entertainment released was a top quality game. If a fresh graduate was “”unfortunately”” assigned to a stable online game project like mobile Legends, League of Legends, or PlayerUnknown’s Battleground, that would still be an amazing achievement. The prize money alone might make people die from envy. ”

“However, these fresh graduates were selected from the entire country, after all. The acceptance rate was even lower than the top two universities. They came here to be the best designers, and each of them thought highly of themselves. With such a great opportunity, they would definitely work hard to fight for it. ”

“After a while, Chen Zhao pushed the door open and entered. ”

“Everyone knew who Chen Mo was, so the entire meeting room was silent. The graduates all sat up straight and looked at the young man in front of them curiously. ”

“Yes, he finally saw a living Chen Zhao! ”

She looked even younger in person than in the photo.

And … He didn’t put on any airs at all.

“However, he seemed to have a very strong aura, or rather … A very strong self-confidence. ”

Chen Mo looked at the people in the conference room with a smile.

“””Hello, everyone. You all know me and the purpose of my visit, so I’ll make it short. “” ”

“””First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone for standing out in this competition and getting the chance to join Thunderbolt entertainment. From now on, I hope that everyone will not forget their original aspirations and maintain their passion and enthusiasm for the game industry. Together, we will create better games for the players. “” ”

“””Even though you’ve all been given the chance to enter Thunderbolt entertainment, I’ll still have one last question. This is my personal test for everyone.”” ”

“””This question isn’t difficult, but it’s not easy to stand out. You only have three hours. “” ”

“””Within three hours, I want you to come up with a system design draft in this conference room.”” ”

“Chen Mo paused for a moment before continuing,””the student who answers the best will get a great opportunity “” I’m going to give you a chance. “”You’ll be directly involved in the development of my new project. “” ”

“As soon as he finished speaking, many people’s eyes were already shining. ”

To be able to directly participate in Chen Mo’s new project!

This also meant that his name would be in the final production crew list for the next world-shocking Triple-A masterpiece!

“Obviously, this was a dream come true for the new players. In order to ensure research and development efficiency, the members of the R & D teams of big companies and big IPS were relatively fixed. Many companies would let newcomers practice on peripheral projects first. After accumulating a certain amount of experience and being mature and reliable enough, they would be transferred to core projects. ”

“And this time, everyone had the chance to participate in Chen Mo’s new project? ”

“Even if it was just to visit and learn, it would be a great fortune! ”

“Everyone looked at Chen Zhao expectantly, wanting to know what kind of question he would ask. ”

“Chen Mo looked at the time and asked,””how many of you here have played Dark Souls?”” ”

Almost everyone raised their hands.

“””How many people have passed?”” Chen Mo asked. ”

“This time, less than a quarter of the people raised their hands. ”

“Seeing that the people who didn’t get through were panicking, Chen Zhao smiled and waved his hand.””””It doesn’t matter. This won’t affect my judgment of everyone. Designers weren’t professional gamers. They only needed to figure out the game’s mechanics and understand them thoroughly. If they really couldn’t adapt, there was no need to force themselves to be tortured. All right, this is just a small interlude. You all know that Dark Souls is made with Pangu yinqing, right?”” ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Chen Mo said,””guys, do you think Dark Souls”” combat system is good enough?”” Is there any more room for improvement?”” ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Was there one or not?

“A large part of the reason why Dark Souls won the Game of the Year award was because of the bonus points from its combat system. This combat system even directly influenced a large number of AAA games that came later, and even created a new term called “”soul-type combat.”” If one wanted to find any flaws in such a classic combat system, they would have to consider their own capabilities first, right? ”

“However, the system’s answer was perfect? Chen Zhao would definitely not be satisfied. ”

“Seeing that no one dared to say anything, Chen Zhao smiled.””””Alright, I’ll answer for you. The combat system of Dark Souls is special and perfect. For this game, this combat system is basically the best. “” ”

“He paused for a moment.””But … This doesn’t mean that there’s no room for improvement in soul-type combat. In another type of game, this combat system can be even better.”” ”

“””I mean, the environmental interaction mechanism.”” ”

“Seeing that most of them were confused, Chen Zhao explained,””””In the black soul, everyone should have used terrain kill, right? For example, smacking blade bro can be seduced into jumping off a cliff. This is actually a very realistic environmental interaction mechanism. “” ”

“””In other words, your combat behavior will interact with the environment, resulting in a result that is beneficial or harmful to you. The black soul acquiesces to this method because ‘falling’ is something that will happen in real battles. “” ”

“””This kind of environmental interaction mechanism will make the battles in the game more realistic, and it will also allow more variety of ways to win. ”

“””Yes, we encourage players to use various means to win, which is what many people call a meme ‘Despicable foreigner’. The players like this design and will use their intelligence to the fullest. “” ”

“””The topic this time is “” ”

“””Design a unique combat system around the ‘environmental interaction mechanism’.”” ”
