Almighty Video Game Designer Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Exchange meeting on the development prospects of compet.i.tive games

“An exchange?” Li Feng laughed.”Stupid group leader, you want to go and fight with the people from Emperor dynasty and Zen?”

Zhang xiaokong said,”what’s there to argue about? how can an Academic Exchange be called arguing?” This is for designers to share their ideas. ”

Qiu Hengyang nodded.”Alright, let’s go take a look at the exchange. The talks this morning were really boring.”

The group of them walked towards the venue of the exchange.

The so-called exchange meeting wasn’t much different from a lecture. The scale of the meeting varied, but the topic of the meeting was a discussion about a certain game type or development direction.

The biggest difference between an exchange and a lecture was that a lecture was generally popular science. Only one person would talk, and it had a certain level of authority. On the other hand, the exchange meeting was an exchange. Most people could speak freely, and it didn’t matter if they were wrong. This was because the questions at the exchange meeting were often inconclusive, and no one knew the correct answer.

Of course, this kind of Academic Exchange was inevitable, but it was normal. After all, it was inevitable to refute each other in other Academic Exchange activities.

Chen Mo didn’t want to go to these events before, because he didn’t want to argue with other designers. If he did, he might accidentally reveal his ideas and cause more trouble.

However, this morning’s lectures were really boring. Since everyone wanted to go to the exchange meeting, he would go and take a look.

Like the lecture, the exchange was divided into many different venues, big and small. The small-scale exchange meetings only had one or two long conference tables, which could accommodate a dozen or so people. The larger exchange meetings were held in large venues that could accommodate up to a hundred people.

Of course, it was impossible for everyone to speak at a large-scale exchange. When the organizer organized such a large-scale exchange, he would estimate the number of people in advance and arrange for a few well-known designers to speak in advance. At the same time, he would reserve many audience seats.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, the audience was not allowed to speak freely and had to apply. After all, time was limited. If all the small fry came up to discuss, then there would definitely be nothing to exchange in this exchange.

When Zhang xiaokong and the others arrived at the venue, they found that there were many topics for the exchange meeting, but the number of people was very different. There were some unpopular topics that no one was interested in, with only a dozen or so people; Some of the hot topics were about explosive popularity, and the large venues were full.

“Eh? This one’s not bad, let’s go take a look?” Chen Mo pointed at the sign for the venue.

Everyone took a look and saw the signboard: ‘Exchange meeting on the future of compet.i.tive gaming’.

Everyone was speechless.

“Sure, let’s go take a look,” Zhang xiaokong said.”We’re all quite interested in e-sports, but Chen Mo, are you sure this exchange will be of any use to you?”

Chen Mo was amused.”Why wouldn’t it work? we’re just learning from each other. Who knows, maybe the others have better ideas?”

“Sure, I’ll partic.i.p.ate in this one then.” Zhang xiaokong nodded.

The few of them entered the venue and found seats in the opposite corners.

Obviously, the conference had just started, and the first designer was still explaining some basic knowledge and development status of compet.i.tive games.

Even though these things seemed like child’s play to designers who understood compet.i.tive games, there were hundreds of designers in the stadium who specialized in different fields. Many mobile and VR designers didn’t know much about compet.i.tive games, so this kind of popular science was still necessary.

Every speaker had a PowerPoint presentation. The videogame designer who was giving the speech was an A-grade videogame designer from Emperor dynasty entertainment and the host of the speech.

“Compet.i.tive games have existed for a long time, like the RTS games Legion conquest and Warcraft a few years ago, and then there were COG and League of Legends. After a long period of development, compet.i.tive games have also undergone a lot of changes. ”

“Before this, compet.i.tive games have always been a niche game, because in the past, compet.i.tive games were mostly referred to as RTS games. Although some FPS games are compet.i.tive, the number of viewers and popularity of compet.i.tive games can not be compared to the number of players in the game itself.

“That’s why compet.i.tive games have always received less attention. But this year, with the League of Legends World Finals, compet.i.tive games seem to have been pushed to the forefront, and the popularity has risen. ”

“Then, what are the future prospects of compet.i.tive games? Was the success of League of Legends a replicable and relatable success? Regarding this point, there will be a few designers who will do a professional a.n.a.lysis. I hope that everyone can gain some insights from this exchange event. Thank you!”

“Next, let’s welcome the first main speaker.”

The host stepped down after a brief introduction of the concept and development of compet.i.tive games. In fact, this was mainly to make the event more official and to prevent the meeting from going astray.

As for e-sports games, although League of Legends had achieved great success in this world, it had not gained much attention in the gaming circle.

Because of Chen Mo’s push, League of Legends showed a revolutionary development in this world. It was so fast that many people didn’t even have time to react.

It was launched before the new year and was not looked upon favorably.

At the beginning of the year, they started to work hard and beat all similar games in the country. They then gradually expanded into other games.

It continued to be popular in the middle of the year and spread overseas.

The global Grand Finals that would be held from October to November instantly attracted countless gazes.

The series of actions were all completed within the year. Even though League of Legends had swept the entire PC market and was very popular, many designers who were limited to their own field could only feel that League of Legends was very popular, but they had no idea how popular it was.

As such, things that Chen Mo was already sick of were still new to many video game designers.

In addition, this world placed more emphasis on VR than PC, so the popularity of PC games was not known to them yet, so it was not surprising that such a situation occurred.

Many designers who didn’t understand or care about League of Legends were still indifferent. It was a PC game with a G.o.d’s perspective, the graphics weren’t particularly exquisite, there wasn’t much story, and the way to play looked very simple. How could it be better than a VR game?

Of course, many players realized that League of Legends had pointed out a new path for compet.i.tive games, and that was why there was such a meeting.

This group of designers could be said to be the group of people who were most concerned about compet.i.tive games at the moment. They would more or less influence the direction of the domestic development of compet.i.tive games.
