Almighty Video Game Designer

Chapter 568: The interviewer’s big setback

Translator: 549690339

If you’re not interested, then why are you talking about it? What are you doing here today?

Qiu bin didn’t think much of it. He had heard about li jingsi’s personality before, but what interested him more was li jingsi’s champion level in League of Legends.

Although game experience wasn’t that important to a video game designer, it still depended on the game experience.

Now, League of Legends was still in a very popular stage. Many companies were researching mobile games similar to League of Legends. If there was a master of League of Legends in the project, it would be helpful for the development of the entire project.

After all, the king player’s understanding of the game was not something that ordinary people could compare to.

At first, Qiu bin had thought that the interview was just a formality, but after hearing that li jingsi was a King, he suddenly became interested.

This was because he had a special mission for coming to the imperial capital.

Many companies were trying to make mobile MOBA games, but none of them had made a dominating game yet. Lin chaoxu felt that the timing was good. He could try to transplant “ancient catastrophe” to the mobile platform. He might be able to hit the jackpot.

If they could do well on the mobile game platform, it would be a very promising project.

Therefore, the task fell on Zhang Bei of Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s imperial capital Branch.

Qiu bin’s visit this time was to spread the advanced design concept of mobile games, and also to consult Zhang Bei on how to modify the ancient catastrophe after transplanting it to the mobile version.

Strictly speaking, the staff for the entire ancient catastrophe project was sufficient, but they lacked someone who had a deep understanding of MOBA games.

The highest level of the designers in the entire project team was Platinum. It was unrealistic to expect these people to come up with a balanced MOBA mobile game ...

......

Li jingsi appeared at this critical moment.

“Okay,” Qiu bin said,”then why don’t you tell me the flaws of League of Legends?”

“Flaws?” Li jingsi thought for a moment.”This game doesn’t have any flaws.”

Qiu bin was speechless, how could they continue the conversation?

There’s no such thing as a perfect game in this world. Is there a problem with me asking you to talk about your flaws?

Qiu bin coughed and said,”how can there be no flaws?” Think about it, isn’t his weakness to have a single playstyle? There are only two or three maps in League of Legends, and players can only play Summoner’s Rift and occasionally fight. There aren’t any rich modes at all!”

Li jingsi said,”that’s because the core fun of League of Legends lies in the cooperation between different heroes. Even if there’s an extra map, the players won’t be interested at all. It’s a waste of effort.”

Qiu bin was a little speechless, then he said,”then, a rigid formation is a weakness, right?” In League of Legends, everyone has to choose based on top, jungler, mid, and bottom lane. There’s no room for flexibility at all. ”

Li jingsi replied,”that’s because we have to consider the difficulty of the players getting used to it. This kind of position allocation allows the players to easily choose a suitable lineup. It will allow them to get used to it faster. It also prevents them from randomly choosing people and causing the newbies ‘gaming experience to deteriorate.”

Qiu bin was speechless.

Why did it feel like the roles of the interviewee and the interviewee were reversed?

Actually, Qiu bin didn’t have much research on games like League of Legends. He had only made mobile games before, and the questions he asked about League of Legends during the interview were just casual questions. In the end, li jingsi had turned the tables on him and taught him a lesson ...

This was really embarrassing ...

Although the situation was a little awkward, Zhang Bei was now looking at li jingsi in a different light.

In the beginning, Zhang Bei had felt that li jingsi was rather unreliable, but after answering these two questions, li jingsi’s image in his heart suddenly rose.

Indeed, what Qiu bin raised were the two problems that were often criticized in League of Legends, and they were also two settings that many players didn’t understand. However, for li jingsi to be able to analyze the design intent of the designer so clearly with just a few words, this kind of insight was not something that ordinary players could have.

Zhang Bei couldn’t help but sigh. She was indeed a King. She could see the problem clearly. It seemed that this girl was indeed quite capable.

What they didn’t know was that li jingsi often played duos with Chen Mo in League of Legends, and she had heard a lot of her questions from Chen Mo.

He didn’t dare to say anything else, but if he answered League of Legends ‘questions, he would really be walking right into the muzzle of a gun ...

“So, what do you think of mobile MOBA games?” Zhang Bei asked.

“Hmm ...” Li jingsi thought for a moment and said,”it should have very good development prospects, right?”

Zhang Bei was surprised,”huh?” Can you tell me more about the future?”

“I’m not sure,”li jingsi replied,”it’s just a feeling.”

Zhang Bei was speechless.

This girl was really direct, she didn’t even bother to come up with a reason!

Li jingsi had said that mobile MOBA games had potential because she knew that Chen Mo was working on it ...

It was obvious that Chen Mo’s games were all promising ...

Zhang Bei coughed twice. This was the first time he had encountered such a challenging interview.

Li jingsi seemed to have something on her mind, but she just didn’t like to talk about it. The interviewers had to rack their brains before they could answer her ...

He answered every question he was asked. There was no one else in the world who would have such an annoying interview ...

If it had been anyone else, Zhang Bei might have already sent them away impatiently. However, li jingsi was a top designer, after all. Zhang Bei felt that she had a lot of ideas and had the potential to become a designer, so he needed to confirm it further.

“What if I asked you to change ancient catastrophe into a mobile game?” Zhang Bei asked.”What would you do?”

“I’ve never played ancient catastrophe,”li jingsi replied.

Zhang Bei was speechless.

He thought for a moment and said,’then let’s change to a more specific question. What do you think needs to be changed between mobile MOBA games and PC League of Legends? Let me give you a hint, skill type. ”

“Skill type?” li jingsi was dumbfounded.

“Yes,” Zhang Bei nodded.”For example, some skills in League of Legends are limited by the operation mode and can’t be transplanted to the phone. Annie’s ultimate skill required a precise range, which was very difficult to achieve on the phone. At this time, we will need to redesign the skill. What kind of skill do you think is better?”

“In order to match the characteristics of the hero, the new ulti must be able to replace the original ulti, and it must also be in line with the operating habits of mobile games.”

“In this situation, shouldn’t the first thing to do be to improve the mobile game’s operating system?” li jingsi asked.

Zhang Bei was stunned. How do we change it?”

“I’m just saying,”li jingsi replied.

Zhang Bei was speechless.

Why was the interview so difficult?
