Sure enough, after opening the editor, Chen Mo saw this announcement in a prominent position.

"Announcement on the Theme Game Season Activities to Promote the Culture of the Three Kingdoms"

In order to promote the traditional culture of the Three Kingdoms and promote the healthy development of the game industry, the Game and Virtual Reality Technical Committee has designated October 8th ~ January 8th as the "Three Kingdoms Game" activity season.

1. Solicitation objects

All game designers.

2. How to participate

The Chinese-style games released in this quarter are all in the competition by default.

3. Design requirements

1. There is no platform limit, mobile games, PC games, and VR games.

2. The game is rich in content, the theme is healthy and uplifting, and it can reflect the cultural connotation of the Three Kingdoms.

3. It is innovative, and it is obviously different from the traditional Three Kingdoms games on the market.

4. Adapt to market demand and adapt to the game characteristics of the Internet era.

Fourth, the content of the award

At the end of this quarter, a review committee will be formed by the Game and Virtual Reality Technical Committee to review the game, and while ensuring the spiritual connotation of the Three Kingdoms, player response and market feedback will be used as important evaluation criteria.

There will be 1 first prize, 3 second prizes, 5 third prizes, and several excellence awards.

Certificates will be awarded to the winning designers, and the winning games will be recommended by the official app market for one month.

The money was signed by the travel committee, and the time was yesterday.

The format of this announcement is basically the same as the announcement of the last Chinese style game solicitation event, except that the Chinese style game is specific to the Three Kingdoms game.

However, what Chen Mo is more concerned about is the design requirements this time.

In addition to the two points of unlimited platforms and themes in line with the culture of the Three Kingdoms, there are also two special requirements, which must be innovative, and adapt to market demand and the characteristics of games in the Internet era.

Chen Mo read it again and again, and indeed, although these articles seem to be relatively understated, they clearly reflect some of the tendencies of the game collection activity of the game committee.

What does it mean to adapt to market demand? Obviously, this means that the game must be played by players and make a lot of money.

What are the characteristics of games adapted to the Internet age? That is to say, it is better to play the game online, which can support multiplayer online, and the more people who support it, the better.

Chen Mo summed up these requirements, and a few words flashed through his mind: Three Kingdoms, online games, strategy games, and krypton.

There are many spiritual connotations of the Three Kingdoms, but the most prominent one should be strategy.

The Three Kingdoms was a time when strategists, generals, and lords all shone brightly, and the ingenuity of the classical era was also reflected in various battles.

Like the three visits to the thatched house, the bitter meat plan, the burning of the red cliff, the empty city plan, etc., these are the points that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the culture of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, some events may have been made up by later generations and are not true events of the Three Kingdoms period, but it is undeniable that these stories have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a masterpiece through the ages.

If you have to make an RPG or a lawn mowing game, you can do it, but if you want to best reflect the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms culture, the best choice is to make a strategy game.

Chen Mo began to think about what kind of game he wanted to make.

There are indeed a lot of Three Kingdoms games in the previous life, but there are not many that meet the requirements. Some of the ultra-classic Three Kingdoms games in the previous life, such as the Three Kingdoms series, although they are good in all aspects, the problem is that they are not online games and cannot meet the needs of hundreds and thousands of people playing online together.

What's more, according to the requirements of the game committee, the game must be "popular in the market" and "in line with the characteristics of the Internet era", and the stand-alone game means that it can only be sold according to the sales, and the profitability is far from good, and it does not meet the characteristics of online games.

There is also the fact that Chen Mo is now in the magic capital, and this time he is not going to return to the imperial capital, and plans to handle the entire game by himself in addition to art resources. If you want to make a large-scale PC game, it is relatively strenuous.

"Three Kingdoms" is not bad, but Chen Mo feels that it should be classified into the category of board games, although its own gameplay and packaging fit perfectly with the content of the Three Kingdoms, but after all, it is limited to the scope of "table", and cannot show the characteristics of large-scale national wars and competition for the world.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Mo had a more suitable game.

Before making it, he was going to give Su Jinyu a call first.

Soon, the call went through.

"Hello? Store manager, have you watched the game contest? Su Jinyu asked.

Chen Mo: "Well, I saw it. ”

Su Jinyu: "Then are we not participating?" Or do you want to ignore the S1 finals for the time being, and go back to the imperial capital directly? ”

The current time is relatively tight, and the finals will not be completed until November 5th, and if you go back to the imperial capital to make a game at that time, it will be equivalent to a month late, so Su Jinyu will ask so.

Chen Mo said: "I'll come by myself this time, you just continue to watch the game." ”

Su Jinyu: "Huh? ”

"Well, I can just spend a month making a mobile game by myself, it's not difficult to do. You don't have to be busy with anything, I will send all the relevant art needs to the art team in the imperial capital and ask them to give me materials, and I will handle everything except art myself. Chen Mo said.

"Uh, store manager, I, Qian Kun and Zheng Hongxi have been fine recently, we can help." Su Jinyu said.

Chen Mo smiled: "No, the game I want to do this time is not difficult to do, I will do it myself, it is a convenient thing, if I need your cooperation, I will find you again." ”

"Alright then, store manager, come on." Su Jinyu was stunned.

……

Not only Chen Mo, but other designers also saw this theme game solicitation activity.

"The game committee has a new game collection activity? This time it's the Three Kingdoms theme. ”

"Three Kingdoms Game...... It's not easy to do. ”

"Huh? Why, isn't the Three Kingdoms game the best theme to do? ”

"You don't understand that. Indeed, any game that you wrap with the skin of the Three Kingdoms is considered a Three Kingdoms game, but do you want to do it well and make it unique? It's so hard! Because this subject matter has been done badly, there are many mediocre works and few brilliant works! ”

"Moreover, this time the tour committee has additional requirements, which are in line with market demand? Or is it better to play online? ”

"It's hard to get it. If you think about the last Chinese-style game, the award-winning work is Chen Mo's "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes", the rich plot and highly free gameplay, no one in China can make a similar martial arts game until now. This time to do the Three Kingdoms, there must be more people participating, and I feel that it is difficult to fight my way out of the encirclement among so many people! ”

"I just want to ask, Chen Mo shouldn't participate this time, right?"

"Hmm...... I don't think so, "League of Legends" is hot now, and the World Finals are also at a critical juncture, and he should have been staring at the World Finals in the magic capital. Besides, his current qualifications should not be uncommon for awards in this solicitation activity. ”

"Yes, he has long been an honorary member, and he has a good relationship with the game committee, so he shouldn't have to tie up the game committee anymore."

"That's great, Chen Mo will be confident if he doesn't participate, and it just so happens that the Three Kingdoms theme is the genre I'm good at, I will definitely do it well this time!"
