I! game designer! Crying players all over the world!

When Feng Dongming was on the road to the stars.

Lin Mo and Duanmuhai's flights have landed safely.

"In two days, it will be the assessment time, Lin Mo should pay attention to rest. Duanmuhai said with a smile.

"Well, senior, you too. Lin Mo replied with a smile.

The two chatted very speculatively on the plane.

But it's a pity.

The hotels they booked were not together.

Lin Mo and Duanmuhai drove to their respective hotels respectively.

Duanmuhai turned on his mobile phone in the car and turned off the airplane mode.

Just when he was bored and was scrolling through the news of the game circle, he suddenly saw the news related to "The Great Witch".

"The Great Witch Trial Version" is now very popular on the whole network.

Although it's only a demo version, it's not even as fun as those official games.

And the volume of "The Great Witch Demo Edition" is already huge enough.

Many players are digging into the hidden elements in it.

Until now.

Duanmu Hai suddenly reacted.

The little game he made up for didn't seem to be a small game.

"Lin Mo, this is really ......,"

Duanmuhai smiled bitterly twice in the car.

In fact, he is also to blame.

It was his preconceived idea that Lin Mo was just a small game.

Who would have thought that it would be so popular with everyone.

However, this also caught Duanmuhai's attention.

What kind of indie game the hell.

It can attract so many players.

So after arriving at the hotel.

Duanmuhai turned on the computer, connected the network cable, and downloaded the "Great Witch Trial Version".

"Let me see, what kind of game can be made with this design concept......"

Duanmuhai's eyes were full of anticipation.

When he and Lin Mo were on the plane, they focused on discussing the design concept of this model.

However, Duanmuhai does not have a specific idea of how to use it.

Maybe Lin Mo's game can inspire him.

And this one plays.

It's an all-nighter.

The sky was dark.

Duanmuhai rubbed his eyes, looking a little tired.

He has already passed the demo version of the three bosses.

But according to everyone's sharing on the Internet.

There are also many elements that can be explored in the Great Witch Demo.

"It's amazing!"

Duanmuhai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the process of playing "The Great Witch Demo", through the eyes of professional designers, he was able to see many things that ordinary players could not see.

For example, every small level map actually has unique skills to unlock the passage.

This is also the core of the most critical design of this kind of game that Lin Mo told him on the plane

!-Keys and Locks!The

"key" in it is actually a certain skill or prop obtained by the character.

The "lock" is not a "lock" in the conventional sense, but a "puzzle" created through clever level design.

Of course, it is not difficult to solve this "puzzle".

Just find the corresponding "lock".

This novel design method brought Duanmuhai many ideas.

Because level design like this isn't just for games like this.

There is also the design of the boss.

"The boss design in the game still follows the concept of keys and locks.

"Every boss, although it was very difficult when I first encountered it, I couldn't defeat it even after many challenges.

"But as long as you have the key to unlock the lock, it's actually very simple.

Duanmuhai smiled slightly, and opened his game to collect various spells.

Of course, these spells can't be used directly, they need to be loaded, and there is a limit to how many they can be.

In other words, every time you challenge the boss, you can load several spells.

For example,

the "Witch Spirit" first casts the Time Chain and then releases other attack spells.

The second time the Chain of Time is triggered, the attack spell that was previously cast will be triggered again.

Of

course, this is just one example.

Different spells can be matched with each other.

In this way, players can strategize against different bosses.

For example, the cloud sea boss in the novice level, the golden-winged Dapeng bird.

The player can collect a spell rune in the sea of clouds, which can be used to cast a fire attack.

And the fire attackIn the battle with the Golden-winged Roc Bird, when the Golden-winged Dapeng Bird casts a wind attack, it can make the player's fire spell more powerful

!As long as it can accurately hit the Golden-winged Roc Bird, it can cause a lot of damage to it!

"Even the boss battle is in line with the design concept of the key and lock.

"Classmate Lin Mo, it's really amazing!"

Duanmuhai couldn't help but sigh again.

Of course, if the player wants to forcibly draw A and kill the boss, it is not impossible.

It's just that it's very difficult.

The best way is to collect different spells and match them to deal with different bosses.

And in general, the mini-map where the boss is located has corresponding restraint spell runes.

It depends on whether the player is careful in the process of exploration.

However, Lin Mo did not force the player to explore the map.

With excellent level design, players will naturally explore the map as they play.

And in the process of exploring, you can also learn some information and stories about this world or the protagonist itself.

For example, "Witch Spirit", the name used to refer to the game character, is not made up by Duanmuhai.

Rather, he found a text clue in a hidden ruin, and the description of the "witch spirit" in it was very similar to the character he controlled.

Therefore, Duanmuhai felt that the protagonist of the game he controlled was the

"witch spirit"! And there seemed to be many "witch spirits" like this.

I just don't know why.

Now only the player is left to control this "witch spirit".

And the meaning of the existence of "witch spirit" is also very special.

The specific truth, Duanmuhai has not yet found out.

Estimated to be a limitation of the demo version.

"Phew, it's time to go to bed, and we'll continue to study this game later. "

Duanmuhai really can't hold on.

He was lying on the bed, still thinking about the various excellent designs of "The Great Witch" in his mind.

I have to say that Lin Mo is really amazing.

Maybe this time the vocational certificate assessment, Lin Mo can still set a record......

Just when Duanmuhai fell asleep.

Lin Mo had already gotten up.

He was eating breakfast provided by the hotel while scrolling through the news on his mobile phone.

There are more and more inquiries about the Great Witch Demo.

Mainly many players, have found a large number of hidden maps.

However, none of this attracted Lin Mo's attention.

After all, the hidden map he designed is specifically for players to discover.

However, just as he finished breakfast and wiped his lips.

Suddenly, a message caught his attention.

[Terrifying Challenge Map - Starry Sky Path!No One Can Pass!]

"Eh! This one was actually found

!" "How is it possible!"

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.

He saw the words "The Road to the Stars".

You know what you're talking about.

In fact, in the game "Great Witch", Lin Mo designed five large maps.

Except for these five large maps, though.

Lin Mo also designed a large map, which is the Starry Sky Road.

But this sixth map, Lin Mo did not complete the design.

Halfway through, he stopped.

Because he found that the game "The Great Witch" didn't seem to need to make this map.

The main thing is that it is different from the overall worldview.

So on the sixth big map, when Lin Mo was halfway through, he stopped.

But it was also more troublesome to delete, so he deleted the entrance to the sixth large map.

But how could any player enter here?

Lin Mo opened this information in confusion.

After reading it, he immediately understood.

It turned out that a player accidentally got stuck in a bug

!"Hey!The skill of Time Chain, it turns out that there is still this BUG

!""Hmm!It must be changed before the official version is released!"

Lin Mo smiled helplessly.

It can't be helped.

The point is that this bug is a bit outrageous.

He didn't notice it during development, and that's normal.

However, the Starry Sky Road was discovered, and there was no problem.

Because the jumping level of the Starry Sky Road is very difficult!

many jumping platforms are impossible to pass without corresponding skills.

So now players have only discovered such a place.

If you want to pass, at least not in the demo version.

"But this one is also quite interesting, and it can be made into an easter egg in the official version.

Lin Mo thought in his heart.

Anyway, the sixth hidden big map, he's already done halfway there.

Just throw it away, it seems a bit wasteful.

When the time comes, it will be made into an easter egg in the official version, and it will be no problem for curious players to challenge it.

"Hmm......"

"Let's just change it now."

"Nothing else happened today anyway.

Lin Mo had some itchy hands, turned on the computer and began to modify.

And just like that, time flies.

Global Game Council, the day of the Game Designer Professional Certificate Examination.

Lin Mo and many other young game designers came to the headquarters of the Global Game Council.

There are not many people, about two or three hundred.

Because of the difficulty of this assessment, everyone knows very well.

It's impossible for a game designer to come to the competition without real skills.

"Hey, Senior

Duanmuhai!" Lin Mo saw Duanmuhai in the crowd at a glance.

He came to Duanmuhai's side.

Duanmuhai said with a smile: "Lin Mo, your new game design is very good, and I have benefited a lot."

"Haha, no, no, it's just a little innovation. Lin Mo said modestly.

"It's not a small innovation, and I've learned a lot from it, and I plan to develop an indie game when I return home.

"That's okay, I'm looking forward to it. The

two chatted very happily.

But Lin Mo didn't see it.

It's not far away.

A Chinese person's gaze is very complicated.

Unexpectedly, he also came.

Jiang Wei sighed in his heart.

That's right, he also came to this year's vocational certificate assessment.

However, Jiang Wei felt that the possibility of his passage was very small.

But he believes that Lin Mo should have no problem if he passes the assessment.

After all, just from the perspective of game design talent.

Lin Mo has far surpassed his.

Who is the main designer of Yanhuang Studio, industry insiders are very clear.

Jiang Wei is no exception.

"Forget it, I'd better care more about myself.

Jiang Wei quickly withdrew his gaze.

He didn't want to compete with Lin Mo and them anymore.

Only by overcoming oneself can we make real progress.

Jiang Wei has understood this.

Of course, the more critical reason is that Lin Mo and the others have gone too far.

So far away that he could barely see the possibility of catching up.

"Heh, Huaguo?"

Suddenly, there was a sneer from Jiang Wei's side.

Jiang Wei frowned and turned his head to look.

The person who just spoke was a blonde foreigner.

"Hey, Huaguoren, you are too confident to take the vocational certificate assessment at such a young age, right?"

said Otto, with a smile in his eyes.

However, his gaze was not very friendly.

Jiang Wei ignored him and remained silent.

But his silence further fueled the other party's sense of superiority.

"Heh, seeing that you are so confident, it seems that you have made a lot of preparations in advance. Otto continued.

At this moment, Jiang Wei's eyes changed.

"What do you mean!" Jiang

Wei finally spoke.

Now Otto became interested.

He smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that you Chinese people like to cheat the most." This kind of assessment must have made a lot of preparations in advance, and you can directly take out the finished product and copy it when you create it within a limited time. "

Don't talk nonsense! We never cheat!" Jiang

Wei's eyes flashed with anger.

At this moment, Otto's words had already attracted the attention of others around him.

This kind of thing to discredit the designers of the Chinese country.

Jiang Wei will never admit

it!"Eh, isn't that Otto from Yada Studio? It turns out that there is still him this year!" "

Hey! Is it Yada Studio, one of the world's top five studios? I didn't expect that some of them would also come to participate in the professional certificate assessment."

"This is normal, although Otto became famous very early, but he has never had time to participate in the assessment before, and it is estimated that he is here today for special leave. "

Hahaha, Yada Studio is not short of a designer with a global professional certificate, but for Otto, he definitely wants one to prove himself. "

......

There were a lot of foreign game designers around and talking about it.

It's basically all about Otto's identity.

After all, as long as you are in this business, you have basically heard of the name of Yada Studio.

Strictly speaking, it is not actually a studio, but a complete multinational enterprise!

It's just that because Yada Group rose from a studio, everyone is also Xi to call them Yada Studio.

And Otto's origins, that's even bigger.

The ninth mobile game on the world's best-selling list is the one developed by Otto.

You're able to rank ninth on the global best-selling list, and in a way, you're far ahead of Naraka: Bladepoint from Yanhuang Studios.

After all, Naraka: Bladepoint has only sold over 10 million.

And the best-selling list is ninth, and the number of players is at least 100 million!

It is no wonder that Otto dared to publicly ridicule Jiang Wei.

He does have the ability to do that.

But Otto's slander of the Chinese designer, Jiang Wei couldn't stand it at all.

"I didn't say anything. The corners of Otto's mouth curled, and he smiled slightly, "I remember that last year, you Huaguo designer, a person from the goose factory, openly cheated during the assessment process, I believe you should know about it, right?"

"That's the ......"

Suddenly, Jiang Wei's face stiffened.

He wanted to find a reason to refute it.

But there's really no way to argue with that.

Because the designer of the goose factory last year did cheat in the assessment process.

He brought a hidden USB flash drive, which was prepared in advance with various game templates, which could be copied directly.

"I don't have any USB flash drive with me!" Jiang

Wei retorted with all his might.

Otto laughed and said, "Even so, it's not a waste of time for you to come here, don't you think you can pass?" Otto's

laughter was loud and spread far and wide.

Even Lin Mo and Duanmuhai heard it.

The Global Game Council's professional certification exam is indeed very difficult!

even some long-established game designers may not be able to pass.

Moreover, the annual vocational assessment must reach more than 60 points in order to be considered passed

! However, so far, the person with the highest score in the vocational assessment has only received 89.6 points! Not even 90 points!

This shows the gold content of the Global Game Council's professional certificate.

If you have this certificate, you can get an annual salary of more than 500,000 yuan as long as you go to any game company! And

the game designers who have obtained this certificate add up to no more than

10,000 in the world! Of course, this does not mean that if you get the certificate, the game design level can rank in the top 10,000.

Some veteran game designers don't bother to do research at all.

For example, Shu Xingzhi is like this.

And his status does not need a certificate to prove it.

But for most young game designers.

He still needs such proof very much.

Therefore, Jiang Wei must want to pass the assessment in his heart.

But he really didn't know the possibility of passing.

So this time, Jiang Wei was speechless.

And at this very moment.

Behind Jiang Wei, a familiar voice came.

"Passing the assessment and getting the certificate, isn't it just a matter of using your right hand?" Do you think it's difficult?"

Jiang Wei turned his head and looked at the familiar face, and was stunned for a moment.

Coming behind him, the person who spoke was of course Lin Mo.

And Duanmuhai also followed Lin Mo's side.

Duanmuhai also smiled and said, "I don't think it's difficult, I hope to finish the exam as soon as possible, and I have to go back to work."

Duanmuhai's attitude was softer, but he was still cheering Jiang Wei up between the words.

After all, in this year's professional assessment, only him, Lin Mo, and Jiang Wei, three Chinese designers, participated.

"Hahaha, it's two Chinese again, it seems that you Chinese people really like to hold together.

"Don't you know that only the weak like to huddle

?" "That's it, dare you say that it's easy to pass the assessment?"

Otto smiled disdainfully.

Other designers around laughed too.

Lin Mo was not in a hurry, a smile appeared on his face, he stepped forward, stared at Otto and said, "With your kind of goods, I can hit two with one hand." For me, it's okay to pass the assessment, but for you, I guess you have to do your best. "

What did you say!"

Otto's face darkened.

He didn't expect this Chinese to dare to mock himself.

And also doubt their own strength!
