Chinese card gas are a unique concept, and are completely different from card gas like Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering
Gas like Soul Hunters and Onmyoji may seem to have different combat systems and cards, but their core are similar.
The so-called Chinese card gas are represented by I Am MT. They stimulate the players through combat, obtaining and training cards. The ways they materialise themselves are also constantly changing.
From I Am MTs cards battling to Soul Hunterss 2D character models combat, to Onmyojis full 3D turned based. The combat may seem different but are similar at heart, all of them are known as Chinese card gas.
Chen Mo decided to read the reviews of the popular card gas before deciding on which ga to make next.
-I Am MT discussion forums-
I heard theres a new card ga being released with a ani IP, anyone wanna play?
Nah Im good. There are so many similar gas, arent you tired of this format?
To be honest, they all feel just like I Am MT. Ive played a few of the other gas, but I always co back to I Am MT. Ill do the daily quests everyday, then drawing ten before calling it a day.
Yeah, I think I Am MT was more fun when it first ca out when it felt fresh. Now that there are so many companies making card gas, Im so sick of it.
Its already a miracle that this ga is still making money after being copied from for a year.
Geez, unfortunately these designers only learn Chen Mos way of making money and none of the innovation.
Yeah, although I Am MT feels like a scam, it was a revolutionary ga. Chen Mo sure does have a lot of good ideas, I cant help but be impressed.
Unfortunately Chen Mo doesnt make mobile gas anymore. Even the updates for I Am MT feel pathetic.
It cant be helped. Chen Mo have now moved onto PC gas. Hes made enough money from this and is now focused on making high quality gas. Maybe he thinks its a better path for his future.
Although it is a good thing, I do hope that Chen Mo makes a follow up to I Am MT.
I heard that there are a few video ga companies who thought about changing the looks of their card gas, who knows how it went.
The looks?
Yeah, they are moving away from cards and switching to 3D models. The combat probably looks much better than cards.
Really, then I might take a look, hopefully they add sothing new.
Chen Mo had an idea of the industry after looking through a few forums for the discussion on the more popular card gas.
He felt that the timing was just right and it was a turning point in the industry. The players were starting to get bored of the first generation of card gas, and the designers havent decided on which direction to head.
At the start of this, the video ga designers could make money just by changing the looks, removing the drive for any innovation.
But at this stage, many of the card ga players have played a few card gas and were starting to get sick of it. Changing the looks without a good IP was no longer a good plan.
Therefore the designers were forced to innovate.
The easiest innovation was the graphics.
Phones in this world are capable of supporting 3D mobile gas, which was why mobile gas progressed much faster than Chen Mos previous world.
In this previous world, I Am MT was released in January 2013, Soul Hunters was released in July 2014, and Onmyoji was released in June 2016.
Every big change took a year or two to happen. This was just a constraint of ideas, but also technology.
But because phones were able to support large scale 3D mobile gas in the parallel world, this allowed more rooms for videoga designers to play with. Gas that used 2D characters as their selling point already started appearing, which was almost half a year faster than the previous world.
Although the gaplay didnt compare to Soul Hunters, the artworks certainly exceeded Soul Hunters and the various gas that followed it.
If given another six months, a fantastic looking 3D mobile card ga might appear on the market.
Of course Chen Mo wouldnt let an opportunity go like that. AS the mobile card ga industry was huge, and the call for developers to innovate was almost at its peak while the designers were still unsure of the direction the industry was about to head.
Players will now be reminded of the horrifying creating happiness mindfully incident.
Chen Mo was doing a quick sketch on his tablet in his office. It didnt take long before a ashen haired man with a fan was finished.
Onmyojis Abe no Seii.
Chen Mo could choose between Soul Hunters or Onmyoji, but he felt that Onmyoji was a better choice.
Soul Hunters was also a very classic mobile card ga. It wouldnt be excessive to call it better than I Am MT in every aspect. But the problem was that its artstyle was relatively worse, and it didnt have an IP advantage because of the lack of DotA in this world.
Chen Mo wanted to grab the entire mobile card ga industry, letting nothing escape.
From his experience, Soul Hunter and I Am MT were similar and their artstyle werent the best of the best, the only improvent was the gaplay.
And the ga chanics of card gas were easily referenced by other designers. And because of this, both gas have been extensively referenced, and there were cases where the gas that referenced it outperford the original.
Onmyoji didnt have that problem as the artwork, music, story, and characters were all the best of the best in the mobile ga industry, no gas should be able to threaten it two years after its release.
As for Fate/Grand Order, Chen Mo couldnt recreate the entire Fates series as of yet, which was why he had to set it aside for now.
Chen Mo opened a new designer docunt and started working on the design concept for Onmyoji.
Youve copied off I Am MT for a whole year and helped expand the playerbase for mobile card gas. Ill count that as even. But now, everyone will have to do their best, said Chen Mo
