Chapter 226 - Disagreements in Idea (1/2)

In the office, everyone was waiting eagerly for Chen Mo to present the design document.

Although they enjoyed themselves playing Leggo, the majority still didn’t understand why Chen Mo had them do that, and even less so the connection between that and the new game.

Moreover, Chen Mo previously hinted at a VR game previously. Many thought Chen Mo would develop a game around Azeroth or a VR RPG game following Diablo, but they were now doubting that after playing with the sets.

What is the relationship between Leggo and the new game?

The powerpoint titled ‘Minecraft design concept’ was displayed on the screen.

It was even simpler than Diablo as the presentation ended under ten minutes.

There were three main points, the rules of the game, the packaging, and additional modes.

The rules included the settings of the entire world, the restrictions players had with gathering and building, day-night cycles, killing monsters survival mode, crafting equipment, etc.

The packaging referred to making each block look as best as they can, allowing the players to connect things in game to real life.

Additional modes included the additional game modes that should be added in the later stages of the game, such as survival mode, creative mode, multiplayer, etc.

“That’s about it, any questions?” Chen Mo asked and looked around for their responses.

Everybody looked at each other with the same expression on the face, “That’s it? Are you joking?”

Zhou Hanyu cleared his throat, “I don’t think there’s a big problem with the design concept, it was presented quite clearly. But as a VR game, isn’t Minecraft a bit… simple?”

Zheng Hongxi nodded, “I think so too, there aren’t any story elements in this game. There isn’t much in terms of numerics either. It doesn’t even come close to Warcraft in terms of its complexity, much less Diablo.

Zhou Hanyu added, “Yeah, and aren’t the demands for graphics a little bit too low? The other VR games all go for a realistic look, going as far as rendering individual strands of hair. Based on what we have so far, I don’t even think we’ll have five fingers.”

“I think there’s room for discussion whether or not the joy of the game could single handedly support all the sales. Sure building Lego was quite fun, but we’ll need some kind of instructions. If we were given a bunch of different bits and pieces, who’d be able to get on the level of manager? We’d be able to make a horrible monster at best,” said Qian Kun.

Su Jinyu also pitched in, “Yeah, I think so too. The main problem I have is, how many players out there are able to utilize their creativity and explore the entire unrestricted world? Moreover, VR players are a smaller market to start with.”

Usually, the few original members also had some doubts for this design concept draft.

Even though Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi had incredible trust in Chen Mo, that was built on grounds where Chen Mo’s design concepts weren’t dramatically different from theirs.

Evidently, Minecraft didn’t match what they had hoped to be Thunderbolt Entertainment’s first VR game.

Chen Mo laughed as he didn’t mind the doubts the others had for his design concept.

Chen Mo spent all that effort to raise his three assistants to have their own thoughts and ideas after all. He wanted them to have their own perspectives instead of just having their head down and following whatever Chen Mo wanted to do.

All these questions meant that they had their own thoughts, which happened to be a good thing.

Chen Mo asked after a few moments, “What do you guys think about Don’t Starve?”
