Conversely, let's look at it again.
If the characters from Final Battlefront are used as chess pieces, the entry barrier is actually lowered.
For example.
Similarly, when forming a lineup, the “Holy Spirit” system composed of Morgana, Rhaast, and Senna,
and the “Soviet” team composed of AK47, Mosin-Nagant, and Makarov,
and the “Starfall” team composed of Type 95, Type 97, and Type 02,
for casual players, the latter is clearly easier to understand.
Because while players may not understand these characters, they understand the firearms behind them, and players' familiarity with the chess pieces will certainly be quicker than with the former.
Moreover, because Final Battlefront itself has already undergone illustration replacements, the beautiful girl element can also enhance players' love for the chess pieces.
Different beautiful girl illustrations are also more recognizable in actual use.
As Chu Chen spoke, the conference room gradually quieted down.
Everyone's mindset, which had been skeptical at first, gradually became serious; several core creators, especially Song Yueying, listened very attentively, continuously noting down key points.
What is a game development company most afraid of when making a game?
It's not actually being afraid that the lead planner has creativity, but rather being afraid that the lead planner has no goal and just creates blindly.
One idea today, another idea tomorrow.
Changes during the game development process are not like making a mistake with a pencil and simply erasing it.
Every change in the development path means a huge waste of resources.
But now, the development plan Chu Chen has outlined is exceptionally clear.
From gameplay to framework, to what each department needs to do, when they need to reach what stage, and how to finally complete this framework—what the art team needs to do, how the copy needs to be written.
What adjustments the programmers need to make, each point was explained very clearly.
As time progressed, Chu Chen gradually filled the whiteboard behind him with writing, and then continuously pasted notes filled with details onto it.
Someone even bought a box of chess pieces from outside.
They tried to simulate the scene according to Chu Chen's requirements to facilitate a group of people gathering around, pointing and discussing, to finalize more details and implement the chessboard.
As the group watched Chu Chen finalize one detail after another, and saw the game development project items being settled one by one, they became somewhat confused.
This... What were we here for today?
It seemed like we were discussing how to disband...
Why do I feel so hot and bothered right now!? How did Chen Zong change so much after going out to calm down for a bit?
Can a project's details really be made this perfect in just a few hours!?
It seems there's not a single place we can add anything!!
This...
Could Chen Zong be possessed by some monster? Like... a monster specialized in making games...
Are all the Federation's MS monsters?
No, are all bankrupt bosses monsters!?
In fact, their doubts were valid.
The reason Chu Chen could speak so eloquently was because when the auto-chess genre was popular, he had also thought about “paying homage” to it.
It was just that at that time, he was unable to develop it alone.
So he only made a “Development Process Plan” and developed the game in his imagination.
However, even though it was based on imagination, that “Development Process Plan” was real, and now, returning to the present, ideas naturally flowed like a spring.
Moreover, everyone sitting in the office now was his own people, so he naturally had no intention of holding anything back.
These few hours, the conference room became Chu Chen's stage.
For this project, Chu Chen held nothing back, explaining everything he knew; he filled six large sections of the whiteboard, drew dozens of sketches, and listed over a hundred requirements.
As he continuously explained, the outline of a game gradually appeared in everyone's minds.
This was a very shocking thing for everyone in the meeting.
When they looked at the pile of details on the whiteboard and the “game scene” model built with chess pieces on the conference table, the feeling was basically no different from seeing an immortal descend to the mortal world.
Everything Chu Chen described.
It would be difficult for them to even re-evaluate games they had previously created to achieve such an effect, let alone visualize a project from his mind.
Not everyone present was new.
There were also many seasoned veterans who had been in the industry for years; before this meeting, their view of Chu Chen was that of a passionate boss who didn't quite understand game development.
But this time, they saw a completely different side of Chu Chen.
“He's gone into overdrive!”
Although they didn't understand what Chu Chen had experienced, judging by his performance tonight, they were truly convinced.
They say people break out in desperate situations.
Many people used to think this statement was nonsense, but after today, they truly believed that some people can indeed unleash their inner power in desperate circumstances.

Time flew by like a white steed.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and the time came to early March.
The city of Modu never lacks vitality.
Weekends for many university students are a time to freely unleash their youth, but for some, the meaning of the weekend is merely being able to stay up late on Friday without worrying about waking up early on Monday.
Ye Feiyang was a typical representative of these “some people.”
If it weren't for the sudden noise in the dorm, he probably would have slept until sunset, merging breakfast and lunch directly into dinner.
“Holy crap, inviting a friend gets you twenty quick build scrolls!?”
“Old Yang! Old Yang! Get up! Help me click a link!”
Ye Feiyang groggily turned over.
“What link?”
“Oh, what's your computer password!? I'll do it myself!”
“Oh, my password is 666666...”
After groggily responding and giving Old Wang his computer's power-on password, Ye Feiyang intended to turn over and sleep a bit more.
However...
Once a person wakes up, it's hard to fall back asleep.
After dozing for a few more minutes.
Ye Feiyang finally scratched his head and sat up; by this time, the dormitory's topic had already changed.
“Old Wang, what are we eating for lunch?”
“Eating at the cafeteria?”
“Oh, bring me a portion!”
“Godfather! Me too!”
Ye Feiyang, who still had some sleepiness, also jolted awake at this point and shouted.
“Me too!!!”
“No, I haven't even said I'm getting food for you guys!”
The dialogue in the dorm is often this dull.
The unlucky guy named Old Wang was quite speechless with his group of adopted sons; it was his own fault for running his mouth and saying he was eating at the cafeteria.
It was truly something else.
Despite this, Old Wang still went to the cafeteria to get food for his adopted sons.
Ye Feiyang, meanwhile, got out of bed, quickly washed up, and sat down in front of his laptop.
“Huh? Why is my computer on... Oh... right, Old Wang just said something about a link...”
In front of Ye Feiyang was a typical game start screen.
