Chapter 181 - Award Ceremony Underway
They were shocked to see Chen Mo going off script!
Those two words completely changed the meaning of the title!
“This was a pitfall that many designers fall into. I Am MT’s gameplay was really fragmentation, but what about Onmyoji? Without a doubt, it’s a very replayable game.
“Even though it’s a replayable game, and even though it doesn’t fit what mobile games are used to, it was really successful, why? To put it simply, if your game was the same quality as Onmyoji, you could make it a replayable game too, and you could even make more revenue…
“… And the third point, although it’s easy to pivot when the cost is low, but once it’s faced against high quality games, your game will be out-competed, which is why other mobile card games were dumpstered…
“The fourth point, although IP is important, you don’t have to throw everything down just to get it. The highest point of mobile card games are games that are their own IP. Buying IPs are just opportunities, it’s just a skin for your game, it still depends on the game as to how well you can execute it.
Chen Mo went through the points at his own pace as there were only a few points that were noteworthy among mobile card games. He could fill out an entire talk just by using knowledge from the top of his head.
“Chen Mo, can you tell me if there’s any strategy for drawing SSRs in Onmyoji?”
Chen Mo answered every single question.
“Well, I’m just here to learn.”
“It’s hard to talk about RTS games, maybe next time.”
“There’s no secret, the players don’t buy it, but you don’t believe it as a videogame designer either? It’s all random.”
Soon, the award ceremony started.
A member of staff came up to Chen Mo and whispered to him, “Mr Chen Mo, in case you get an award, be sure to think of what to say.”
“I have an award?”
“No, I’m saying if you do get it. I don’t know who’s receiving the award either.”
Chen Mo laughed, “Alright, you don’t need to tell me twice.”
Chen Mo claimed that he was just here to learn, but he actually really wanted to get the reward. Chen Mo was in a different world, and also had a different goal. In the previous world, he’d be happy just to have clothes on his back and a roof over his head, but Chen Mo wanted to make more better games in this world.
Chen Mo had already made plenty of money and didn’t need to worry about clothes on his back or a roof over his head, but Chen Mo wanted to make more better games, and receiving an award from the officials would do wonders in helping him achieve that goal.
