Two weeks after its launch, "The Shore of the Land" successfully reached the third place on the best-selling list of mobile games, while "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" fell all the way and finally stopped at the twelfth place.

Although the ranking of "The Shore of the Land" did not continue to rise after this, as an SLG game, it is not easy to climb to this position.

Obviously, "The Shore of the Land" is far from being a perfect game, as an SLG game, its biggest problem is that it is too difficult to get started, and it is too slow to heat, most players will not experience its fun until two or three weeks of play, entering the state war stage, and it may take months to really play and understand, which is obviously incompatible with the current fast-food game environment.

Maybe in the novice stage, eighty or ninety percent of players are dissuaded and can't experience the real fun of it at all.

However, "The Shore of the Land" is also a game with outstanding advantages, and for many veteran players, it is a game that will not get tired of playing for several years.

Different from those traditional krypton mobile games, "The Shore of the Land" appears to be more gentle and more long-term.

……

Some game media have also reported on the unique Three Kingdoms game of "The Shore of the Land".

A Three Kingdoms game that can freely change the situation in the world? 》

"Chen Mo once again taught a lesson to all mobile game designers in the field of mobile games! 》

"Player Comment: This is the real Three Kingdoms troubled times!" 》

Game Review: It's hard to get started, but it's rich in content and novel in gameplay! 》

"Chen Mo's New Work: Take You to the Different Three Kingdoms"

"The Shore of the Land: No Plot, Players Create Plots!" 》

For most players, "The Shore of the Land" did not cause such a big sensation, and compared to Chen Mo's other works, this mobile game is really not so earth-shattering.

However, all players are sure of one thing, that is, no matter what game Chen Mo does, he will bring them enough surprises.

……

In the final selection, "The Shore of the Land" undoubtedly won the first prize this time.

Of course, it's not that this game is too good, but that the competing games in the same period are too weak in combat. The only "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" that seems to be able to play some still follows the card player gameplay that Chen Mo has long been tired of playing, while "The Shore of the Land" has made a comprehensive innovation in the gameplay, and it is clear which is better and which is inferior.

Chen Mo also posted a Weibo.

"Oops, I won another first prize, and the bookshelves are almost out of place, so I'm worried."

The accompanying picture is the certificate and trophy of the "First Prize of the Three Kingdoms Theme Game Activity Season".

As soon as this Weibo was posted, many game designers were angry enough.

"Nima, Chen Mo is forced, he owes a beating!"

"Isn't this rubbing salt in our wounds?"

"Kill this pretending criminal! You can't put it on me! ”

"You have fun with your PC games and VR games, don't mix them up with mobile games!"

"I'm so angry, can't you leave us a prize?"

"Strong protest! Request that Chen Mo be disqualified from the next competition! ”

Of course, complaining is complaining, and many mobile game designers still get a lot of inspiration from this game.

A relatively big inspiration is that Chen Mo tested the bottom line of players for all designers.

And the result of the temptation is that the players seem to have no bottom line?

Many people think that "Onmyoji" is heavy enough, and a mobile game that requires four or five hours of play every day is already great in the eyes of most designers, but Chen Mo made a more serious "The Shore of the Land"!

Not to mention four or five hours, ten hours a day is not too much to play "The Shore of the Land"! And it has to be fixed at regular times, after the day is fought and the night is fought, as soon as the state war starts, there is not even a little time to rest.

Fortunately, this is a mobile game, if it is a PC game or a VR game, how many players can get up in the middle of the night to play a group?

But judging from the feedback from players, it seems that many people think it's okay?

What the hell is this!

Many designers have also discovered that although heavy mobile games will make players very tired to play, the stickiness is really good.

After most players develop a habit, the first thing they do when they take out their mobile phones is to open "The Shore of the Land", play every day, play every day, and it is not easy to abandon the game because it is too dull.

"So, can we also do something more heavy? For example, transplanting a national war RPG like "Three Kingdoms" to a mobile game platform? ”

This is a question that many mobile game designers are thinking about.

……

……

Although it successfully made many mobile game designers not feel good, Chen Mo's mood was also not good.

Because in the Phantom World Editor, Chen Mo's scores have risen significantly, but the designer's rating is an A+ grade!

Chen Mo felt very speechless, why?

[Chen Mo: Game Designer (A+ Level)]

[Creativity: 89]

[System: 83]

[Level: 82]

[Plot: 89]

[Original Art: 87]

[3D Art: 81]

[Monthly resource quota: 2 TB]

From the point of view of various values, compared with before, the creativity, system, and levels have been slightly improved, the 3D art has been greatly improved, and the plot has not changed.

Originally, Chen Mo thought that as long as he could make a phenomenal VR game, he would be able to get the title of S-level designer, but now it seems that this is not the case?

If you talk about VR games, Chen Mo has already made two, "Minecraft" and "Escape", these two games should be properly regarded as phenomenal games in their respective fields, right?

Moreover, "League of Legends" has become so popular that it has almost ruled the entire PC side, is this not taken into account?

Why doesn't this give me an S-level designer, but an A+?

Although Chen Mo was full of questions, he had no one to ask, because the few S-level designers in China were either in large companies like Emperor Dynasty and Zenyi, or they were loners and had little connection with Chen Mo.

After thinking about it, Chen Mo still decided to call Qiao Hua of the game committee to ask.

After learning about Chen Mo's question, Qiao Hua smiled.

"That's right, Chen Mo. Regarding your rating, it is not intended to target you, but there is a very clear set of evaluation criteria for S-level designers within the game committee. ”

"Although Minecraft and Escape are both very good VR games, they are still different from the 'super boutique VR games' defined by the game committee."

"At present, the members of the game committee are basically divided into two factions, one group believes that you have successful games on mobile games, PC and VR platforms, and you have been innovating, and you should have obtained the qualification of S-level designer a long time ago; On the other hand, the other group is more old-fashioned, believing that although "Minecraft" and "Escape" are very creative, they are obviously suspected of being opportunistic and cannot be regarded as super high-quality VR games. ”

Chen Mo was speechless: "Then how can it be considered a super boutique VR game?" ”

Qiao Hua explained: "Minecraft and Escape are both great in terms of gameplay, there is no doubt about it. However, artistically, it is difficult to convince the vast majority of judges. ”

Chen Mo was stunned: "Artistry? ”

Qiao Hua said: "Yes, art **** is regarded as the ninth art, and artistry includes many aspects, such as character design, world view background, plot, art style, music style, etc. ”

Or, to put it more bluntly, a designer is likely to be rated S only if they make a VR game that has the potential to compete for the best of the year. This has little to do with how profitable and popular your game is, and it mainly depends on the judges' evaluation. ”

Chen Mo roughly understood: "Okay, since that's the case, then I know." Isn't it just a game to please the judges? I'll make another one! ”
