Chapter 348: Chapter 347-difficult to pa.s.s the interrogation
There were also two new items that caught Chen Mo’s attention.
“Fear shrouding device: after using it, you will lose your sense of fear and be able to think with absolute rationality. Lasts for 30 minutes.”
Chen Zhao was speechless. What the h.e.l.l was this? ‘I’m not on the night shift to guard the gate, nor am I a Cemetery caretaker. Is this thing … To boost my courage?’
[Intelligence-reducing Halo: after using it, your target’s intelligence will short-circuit, making it easier for you to dupe him. During this period, as long as the other party agrees with your opinion, it will continue to be in effect. Lasts for 10 minutes.]
This seemed to be quite useful. The next time Jin jieguang came to the experience store, he could use this item and complete the forced deception in three minutes.
However, she felt that he probably wouldn’t come again …
After using up all the skill books, Chen Mo started thinking about the new game.
At the moment, League of Legends had already gained a firm foothold on the PC side and was expected to become the most popular PC game.
However, Chen Mo also knew that the situation in this world was different from his previous life. In his previous life, when League of Legends was released, the PC was the most popular game. At that time, there were no VR games, and mobile games were still in their primitive state.
In this special environment, League of Legends quickly dominated the market because it was very suitable for PC games. In two or three years, it became the most popular game in the world, creating a miracle in the history of gaming.
…
However, in the parallel world, VR, PC, and mobile platforms were all very developed. PC didn’t dominate the game like it did in his previous life. Instead, it was being squeezed to the point where it felt uncomfortable.
It was foreseeable that as League of Legends continued to develop, it would definitely dominate the PC market, but mobile and VR games would not be affected by League of Legends.
Therefore, it wasn’t realistic to rely on League of Legends to rise to the top.
The biggest benefit of League of Legends to Chen Mo was that he now had a Golden Brand and a long-lasting money tree on PC. Even though this money tree was still a small sapling, it would grow very quickly.
Moreover, the e-sports related industries that were derived from League of Legends were also one of Chen Mo’s plans.
After China’s distributors had surrounded and suppressed Thunderbolt gaming platform, they went bankrupt with the sudden appearance of League of Legends. Now, Thunderbolt gaming platform had a firm foothold, at least to the point where it could stand up to these traditional distributors.
Of course, it was impossible to completely crush these traditional distributors. Just like how popular League of Legends was in his previous life, it was impossible for Penguin to completely monopolize the game’s distribution channels despite having so many users. Moreover, Chen Mo didn’t have a weapon like Penguin in his parallel world.
These traditional distributors would definitely adopt measures like lowering their cut or introducing various benefits to attract independent video game designers to release their games.
However, Chen Mo’s goal had been achieved, which was to reverse the market’s status of ‘distribution channels being King’, allowing the entire game market to develop in a healthy direction.
Next, Chen Mo decided to focus his attention on VR.
Chen Mo had released a VR game called Minecraft before, but this game was basically taking advantage of a loophole. Its success model was completely different from the current VR games on the market. It could be said that it was a product that couldn’t be replicated.
This was a bit similar to League of Legends. They were both “non-ma.s.s-produced” works, and they might only appear once in a while, the result of a genius designer’s inspiration.
Chen Mo wanted to try out games that could be ‘ma.s.s-produced’. These games had a clear production process and were extremely immersive, which was a new development for Chen Mo.
However, before deciding on the next game, Chen Mo decided to visit the game Committee and see Qiao Hua.
Because the next game he was going to make was a little special and he wasn’t sure if it would pa.s.s the vetting process, so he had to let them know in advance.
Chen Zhao wasn’t sure if he could succeed this time. However, he had just drawn a new item,”intelligence-reducing Halo,” so he hoped that it would be useful.
Chen Mo went through the concept draft for the new game and headed to the game Committee with it.
He had already been here once when he was working on Diablo, so he was familiar with the place. He went straight to the game committee’s office and found Qiao Hua’s office.
Chen Zhao knocked on the door.
“Please come in.” Qiao Hua said.
Chen Mo entered the office and nodded at Qiao Hua.”Minister Qiao.”
Qiao Hua smiled,”Chen Mo, you’re here. Have a seat.” I still have something to do, so I don’t have much time. Let’s make it short, okay?”
Chen Mo nodded.”Yes, it’s about the new game. I’ve brought the concept draft. Take a look.”
As Chen Mo spoke, he handed the concept draft to Qiao Hua.
The game Committee didn’t have much of a bureaucratic air, which might be related to the characteristics of the department and the personality of Chairman Zhang Zhongxiang.
Chen Mo and Qiao Hua had known each other for a long time. It was Qiao Hua who had pulled Chen Mo into the game Committee, so they were very close and had a lot of free time in private.
Chen Mo first showed the design draft to Qiao Hua to let him know, and when Qiao Hua felt that there were no problems, he would send it for review. It would most likely be done.
Qiao Hua took the design doc.u.ment and flipped through it as he said,””For you to come all the way here, it seems that this game is the type that’s hard to get approval.”
Chen Zhao smiled and didn’t reply.
Indeed, if the game was easy to review, Chen Mo wouldn’t have to make the trip himself, he would just have to submit the relevant materials according to the standard process. It was precisely because it was easy to be beaten back if the game was played normally that Chen Mo had to inform Qiao Hua first.
Qiao Hua flipped through the design doc.u.ment and furrowed his brows.””Escape?”
Chen Mo nodded,”yes, I want to make a horror game.”
Qiao Hua’s expression was grave as he finished reading the design doc.u.ment. After some thought, he flipped to the first page and read it again.
After reading it twice, Qiao Hua raised his head and looked at Chen Mo. “Your game is indeed not easy to pa.s.s.”
“Diablo’s review was already a little too far-fetched, but we can still use ancient western adventure and role-playing themes to cover it up. After all, that game is on a PC and follows the traditional way of leveling up by killing monsters. It’s just that the graphics are a little more evil, but that’s still fine.”
“But there are too many sensitive factors in outlast. For example, there’s a lot of blood, horror scenes, and corpses all over the ground. Most importantly, it’s a first person VR game, so the visual impact is too strong. The immersion is on a completely different level from Diablo, it’s … It’s really hard to say. ”
