Almighty Game Designer Chapter 133: New version of “Warcraft”

　　 After getting the new version of the planning document, Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi, and Qian Kun started to get busy.

　　 Actually, these RPG maps are not the most classic or the most balanced. So why did Chen Mo make these maps?

　　Because these maps represent several major branches of Warcraft RPG later, they are the prototype of the classic Warcraft RPG, which not only allows players to experience the fun of Warcraft RPG, but also prevents them from going too far at once. The player's thinking is limited.

　　, you know, the monster like Dota is bred in the RPG map of Warcraft. Chen Mo didn't want the RPG map he made to give designers some strange inspiration, so he shot himself in the foot.

　　 Defensive map: "Guardian Athena".

　　The defensive map is very simple, but it contains the core elements of Warcraft RPG: hero matching and hero training. As time goes by, the attacking monsters will become stronger and stronger, and the way for players to pass the level is to find the best match among many heroes and many items.

　　Tower Defense Map: "Tower Defense".

　　 In fact, this map is derived from the classic tower defense of previous lives such as the circle circle. The core fun of tower defense is similar to that of defensive maps. The difference is that players need to choose locations to build towers, and the core is changed from heroes to defense towers.

　　Leisure map: "Escape from the Pyramid".

　　 This picture can be said to be a representative work of a leisure map. Players can choose from dozens of game modes at will, and avoid various organs by walking to achieve victory.

　　 confrontation map: "Chenghai 3C".

　　 In fact, Chenghai 3C is very primitive compared to DOTA. Its biggest problem is imbalance, but its greatest charm is also imbalance. Many players like to play the abnormal version of "Chenghai 3C" because of its imbalance.

　　 At the same time, because the player can manipulate multiple heroes, this imbalance is slightly diluted, making it a very entertaining map.

　　Chen Mo only intends to develop these four classic RPG maps, and the other maps are free for players to think about.

　　……

　　It didn’t take too long to develop the new version. It was basically finished in less than two weeks.

　　 There are a lot of maps in the battle of "Warcraft". These three people have already started making them. They are familiar with the world editor. It is not difficult to make these RPG maps. The main time is spent adjusting hero skills. , The difficulty of setting the level is above.

　　 Chen Mo specifically urged that the hero skills in the RPG map must be completely different from those in the battle mode. It must not only conform to the characteristics of the hero, but also make new ideas.

　　 These three people are basically thinking hard, but in the process, they also expanded their imagination a little, and they did a very interesting job.

　　Especially Qian Kun, was basically responsible for the various designs of "Chenghai 3C", and the overall level of the previous life was reproduced. Chen Mo was quite satisfied.

　　 Chen Mo finally checked the completion of the three maps, and said: "Okay, it's okay."

　　Su Jinyu: "Yes! Finished!"

　　 Zheng Hongxi: "But it doesn't seem to be difficult."

　　 Qiankun said: "The manager, I feel that this version update has nothing to do with it. Although it seems quite fun, will the players be satisfied? I always feel that the maps this time are different from the previous ones. The content of the game is far worse than that."

　　 Chen Mo said: "Don't worry. Hongxi, you write the version update instructions, and then release the new version."

　　 Soon, the version update instructions were written, and Su Jinyu released the new version and the update instructions simultaneously.

　　 There are not many updates this time, only one CG has been updated, some basic settings have been enriched, and four new RPG maps have been added.

　　CG is mainly because the production cycle is long, so it can only be updated one by one. If you take out the CG, these new content is less than 1M, only in terms of capacity, it is slightly shabby.

　　 Oh, it should be said to be very shabby.

　　 Of course, if you want to expand the capacity, you can create a new campaign. But the players' interest is now mainly focused on online battles, and there is not much demand for new battles, so Chen Mo didn't do it either.

　　 This version update, Chen Mo did not plan to charge, including subsequent map production, Chen Mo did not plan to charge.

　　Because there are very few updated game content, if you charge in the form of DLC, it would be too cheating, and definitely not.

　　 Alternatively, a map charging mode can also be adopted. For example, after a player makes a better RPG map, other players will spend 1 to 2 yuan to play the map. The money is divided by Chen Mo and the original author. .

　　 Chen Mo thought for a while, but did not adopt this charging model.

　　The reason is very simple. These maps must not be charged at the beginning, otherwise the popularity will definitely not rise, but the subsequent charges will be very cheating. Players will be very surprised. Why do you just start playing for free when there are more people playing? Charged?

　　 Therefore, the map charge is good for the producers, and for the players, it will seriously dampen their enthusiasm, which is contrary to Chen Mo's idea of ​​making the Warcraft RPG map.

　　Chen Mo did the Warcraft RPG map not for the healthy development of the game industry, but only to further stimulate the sales of the game "Warcraft".

　　RPG map is very suitable for friends to open black together. Chen Mo did this mainly to allow the game "Warcraft" to spread from the RTS game player group to the surroundings, so that these people can make friends and colleagues also Pull in, and pull one more sales.

　　 Moreover, the RPG map is also to further extend the vitality of the game "Warcraft" ~ IndoMTL.com~ let its influence slowly spread and ferment, and pave the way for future PC games developed.

　　……

　　After simple preparations, the new version of "Warcraft" is officially updated!

　　 This new version update is relatively low-key, only an update description of the new version is posted, nothing else.

　　 so much so that when many players log in to the game, they find that the game has been silently updated with a new version.

　　 "Hey? Is there a new version? Chen Mo's work efficiency is very fast!"

　　 "Yes, "Warcraft" is developing very well now, and there is no balance problem. It is not possible to release a new version so soon, right?"

　　 "Conscience! Wow, is this the Chen Mo I know? I'm so moved and cry!"

　　 "Yes, why did my conscience suddenly discover it?"

　　"Quickly, see what the content is?"

　　 Soon, after checking the specific update content, the players started shouting cheating.

　　 "I wiped, what did I see? A CG, some setting options update, several new maps???"

　　 "Could you be kidding me?"

　　"Damn, this is also a new version? Chen Mo, is there any difference between the new version we understand?"

　　 "Okay, no charge..."

　　 "Damn, this dog currency is still charged? Is there any reason? Is there any law? Huh?"

　　 "I updated a new CG. I took a look and it was great!"

　　"So, the new CG is the only thing useful in this version update..."

　　"This, Thunder Interactive Entertainment is going to transform into a Thunder Film Studio?"

　　 "Are you a game company or a movie company!!!"
