Almighty Video Game Designer

Chapter 488: Are you interested in giving a lecture?

Translator: 549690339

Chen Zhao was thinking about his plans for after the new year when his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Qiao Hua.

“Oh? It’s the new year, what does the game Committee want from me?”

Chen Mo was a little confused, the Spring Festival holiday wasn’t over yet, so the game Committee shouldn’t have started work yet, right? Calling at this hour, could it be ... To wish me a Happy New Year?

...That doesn’t make sense, the game Committee is full of leaders, why would they wish me a Happy New Year ...

Chen Mo picked up the phone,’Hello? Happy New Year, Minister Qiao. ”

“Happy New Year,” Qiao Hua said with a smile. I heard that you didn’t stay idle when you went home for the new year, and even made two new games?”

Chen Zhao smiled,”I have nothing to do at home. I’m just bored.” What, does the game Committee care about this?”

Qiao Hua laughed,”why would the game Committee care about this!” Alright, let’s stop with the nonsense and get down to business. I wanted to tell you about this after the spring Festival holiday, but time is tight, so I asked for your opinion in advance. It’s like this, do you want to be a lecturer?”

“A lecturer?” Chen Mo was taken aback.

What the hell is this?

“I’d like to invite you to teach an elective course at First World University,”Qiao Hua said with a smile. The previous elective teacher was seriously ill, so he couldn’t teach anymore. Someone needed to help out the classes in the second half of the year. After thinking about it, I feel that you’ve just won game of the year, so it’s most suitable for you to teach this elective course. Are you interested in it?”

Chen Mo thought for a moment,’what class is it? If it’s a specific type of game, maybe I don’t have enough experience now, and I might be misleading the students?”

“This course is called ‘gaming prospects’,” Qiao Hua replied. Well, it was basically a history and expected course. In the first half of the year, the teacher had already explained the history of the development of games to everyone. The last part was mainly about the prediction of the future. In other words, what would the future game be like? how would the entire game industry develop?”

“You don’t have to worry about not doing a good job or not being good enough,” Qiao Hua continued. “On one hand, this course is to educate the students on the basics of video game creation, so that they can have a basic understanding of the game industry. On the other hand, they were looking forward to the future. It’s an elective course, not a compulsory one, so you can actually talk about it with a little more freedom. ”

Chen Mo nodded,”okay, I understand. I’ll think about it.”

“Think about it,” Qiao Hua said kindly.”There’s no rush. You just have to give me an answer within the next few days.”

“Then why did you choose the first university and not the other schools?” Chen Zhao asked.

Qiao Hua laughed.”It’s because this happened too suddenly. On one hand, the teacher fell sick and needed you to save him. On the other hand, it was to make up for the lack of gaming expertise in our University.”

“Although the academic level of world No. 1 University is not bad, they have always been lacking in the area of game design. I’m asking you to give a lecture because I hope that you can give some new inspiration to the teachers there. After all, you’re a professional video game designer, while these teachers have been away from the line of video game design for a long time. Many of their ideas can’t keep up with the current era.”

Chen Mo nodded.”Alright, I’ll think about it. Is this an official mission from the game Committee?”

“Of course not,” Qiao Hua laughed,”this was completely voluntary. If you want to go, of course it’s good, but if you don’t want to, we won’t force you. We can still find someone else. ”

After hanging up, Chen Zhao did some research.

The world’s first university was actually another name for a famous school in Qi Lu.

Qi Lu wasn’t far from the imperial capital. It only took two hours by high-speed rail.

Chen Mo didn’t have much time to spare. This elective only had one class every two weeks, and each class was two hours long. This meant that Chen Zhao only needed to make a trip once every two weeks.

After all, this was only an elective class.

For the students, they had to completely master the contents of the professional course because it was basic classic knowledge. As for the elective course, it was more to cultivate interest and to have some basic understanding of the game industry.

Chen Zhao was quite interested in this, as he had never been a university lecturer.

Moreover, Chen Mo felt that being a lecturer was a glorious thing. As the saying went, a teacher was responsible for teaching and clearing up doubts.

If he could make more students like game design through his lectures, he would be able to cultivate more talents for the domestic game industry. This was something he was happy to see.

After all, he didn’t lack money anymore. He didn’t need to consider how much money he could make as an important goal.

Now, his goal was to be diversified. On one hand, he wanted to let the game industry develop better so that the channels would no longer restrict research and development. On the other hand, it was to create more and more fun games for players. It could also allow more talents to enter this industry.

And from the current course, this was only an elective, so he didn’t have to worry about being restricted or following the textbook. In fact, he just had to talk about some of his own experiences, and he had a high degree of freedom.

His lectures didn’t affect his current work, because he only needed to go to world No. 1 University once every two weeks.

After some consideration, Chen Mo agreed.

Qiao Hua then gave Chen Mo a few more reminders not to stick to a fixed way of thinking. He didn’t even need to do a PowerPoint or a live lecture, as long as he finished the class.

As for the final test and results of the students, they could also decide on their own. For this, the world No. 1 University School would not have any requirements or interference.

Then what should he talk about? Chen Zhao was also considering it.

Since it was his first time giving a lecture on a University campus, he had to teach something that no one else had taught before.

Chen Mo already had a plan for this, but he still needed to think about what he wanted to talk about.

……

After the spring Festival holiday, Chen Zhao returned to the imperial capital.

The work after the new year was almost done, and there were no new games for the time being.

Chen Mo’s two main works, League of Legends and Overwatch, were still in development. There would be new updates and content in the new year.

Especially in League of Legends, all the major clubs had already formed teams, and the preparations for the LPL Spring Season were also in full swing. The related League tournament would soon be on the right track.

As for the Overwatch Council, they also had plans to develop the next version.

After Overwatch won the Game of the Year award, other game companies were also considering developing similar products. After the new year, they had also established projects and started their development.

Chen Zhao didn’t say anything.”You guys do your thing and I’ll do mine.”
