Almighty Game Designer Chapter 149: First prize
Soon, other players have also discovered that the popularity of "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes" has really not declined, but has been rising!
Like "The War of the Sword", most players buy this game for the plot. After watching the plot, few players will choose to play it a second time.
But "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes" is different. It has too many branch plots. It may not be possible to play them all three or four times, and even if the plot is aside, its combat system is also very playable. .
Swordsmanship, swordsmanship, palms, hidden weapons... The martial arts route in "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" is divided into many genres, and combined with different talents and professional skills, the combined complexity is too high!
Most of the players who are stuck are stuck at the beginning. Players who can continue to play will almost without exception have to go to the second and third brushes, at least the two endings of good and evil All get through.
On the forum, many people are also posting discussions about martial arts genres, plot flow, professional skills, and related strategies... There are so many things that can be discussed in this game, which is more than ten times richer than "Yu Jian Wen Qing". !
Soon, the first month sales of this batch of Chinese-style games came out.
The much-watched "Yu Jian Wen Qing" sold 320,000 in the first month, which is actually quite good among domestic stand-alone games.
And the first month sales of "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" exceeded 400,000!
In fact, this number is not very good. In terms of sales, it is not as good as "Plants vs. Zombies", let alone reaching the level of "Warcraft"; in terms of income, the first month's turnover is not as good as the mobile game "My Name MT".
However, for domestic single-player games, especially martial arts games, this number is actually quite good. After all, this is a niche subject, and there is an intention to complete political tasks. This sales volume is actually domestic martial arts. The highest level of wind stand-alone game!
More importantly, this game allows players to see the infinite possibilities of Chinese-style games. Domestic stand-alone games do not only rely on selling plots, but can also be used as sandboxes or very complex gameplay. The only The limitation is only the designer's brain.
……
Soon, the game media published articles one after another.
"The biggest hit for the first prize? "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" Who will fight for the front?
"It's difficult for martial arts games to show the whole arena? This game did it! 》
"Players' Comments: A world of martial arts with high degrees of freedom! 》
"Game Evaluation: Although it is difficult to get started, the content is rich, and the creativity is invincible! 》
"Chen Mo, who has always been good at Western Fantasy, proved that he can also control the Chinese style! 》
Of course, there are also many game media playing "Yu Jian Wen Qing", but when the two are compared, obviously the content of these manuscripts is much weaker, and the ones who have been over and over can only talk about "Yu Jian Wen Qing" How touching is the plot, but there is nothing to say about the gameplay.
Finally, with the announcement of the game committee announcing the final selection results of this Chinese style game theme event, all the dust settled.
"The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" was selected as the first prize, while "The Sword Inquiring Love" was only ranked second.
Although the official documents of the Games Committee do not have any specific attitudes at all, this can be regarded as popular, and it can be regarded as a final word. It is equivalent to officially approving the game "The Legend of Martial Arts" as the best Chinese-style martial arts game at the moment. ,none of them.
At the same time as the selection results came out, on the homepage of the game editor, there were also articles about appreciation of "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes".
"For a long time, domestic stand-alone games have been limited to the mode of'killing monsters, leveling up, and going through the plot', which has caused the players to tire. However, the designers are unwilling to innovate the gameplay, just constantly in the plot Work hard with the screen, so that domestic stand-alone games, especially Xianxia games, have become embroidered pillows with empty skins and no cores."
" However, "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" has completely changed this mode. Its biggest feature is the degree of freedom. Players can determine their own attributes, martial arts, and even choose a decent or wicked route through cultivation. , This kind of super high degree of freedom is impossible for other domestic games."
"Although this game still has many shortcomings, such as the difficulty of getting started, weak guidance, etc., this does not affect its success. It is still the best single-player martial arts game on the market. ."
"Perhaps domestic designers should learn something from "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" and devote themselves to designing the gameplay, rather than expecting to change the plot even if they develop a new game."
This appreciative article is equivalent to the official final word of the Games Committee. It confirmed the status of the game "The Legend of Martial Arts" in the domestic stand-alone game. By the way, it criticized the "Yu Jian Qin Qing" which only pays attention. The plot, the picture, and the domestic stand-alone game that ignores the gameplay.
Finally, with the help of "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes", Chen Mo successfully won the first prize of this event, and his popularity in the game industry has greatly increased!
……
Experience shop.
Su Jinyu said in surprise: "Look at the store manager, "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" has been put on the recommended position on the homepage of the official app market!"
Chen Mo took a look and found that "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" had been listed as the best recommendation on the homepage of the official app market for a week.
, the recommended position has the second effect on sales, mainly because of the high popularity of Chen Mo.
In addition, the people from the tour committee also sent the certificate yesterday, which read "The first prize of traditional culture theme game activity season~IndoMTL.com~ and trophies, which are all officially awarded, very formal .
is also a weighty trophy, after all, Chen Mo asked Su Jinyu to put it on the shelf of the experience store to make room for it.
Su Jinyu said with emotion: "When the store manager did "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes", there were many people who were not optimistic and felt that the store manager was too risky, but in fact, whether it is sales or expert reviews "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" is very successful!"
Zheng Hongxi said: "Actually, I was also worried at first, for fear that the players would not accept this model, but it seems that I was too worried."
Chen Mo smiled, and said nothing.
In fact, he is very confident about "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes", and he has anticipated this ending long ago.
As a game with a plot as its selling point, the story quality of "The Legend of the Sword and the Fairy One" is far from that of "The Legend of the Sword and the Fairy One". It is nothing more than excellent.
A game with no skin but no core, how can it be compared with a classic game like "The Legend of Martial Arts" that can be played for six or seven years?
For previous lives, the development of domestic games has been seriously frustrated. Of course, the reasons here are very complicated. There are reasons for piracy, reasons for players' consumption concepts, game developers, and the game market.
But no matter what the reason is, the final result is that domestic stand-alone games are almost extinct. Game vendors have gone further and further on the road of krypton games, and even some game companies that already have sufficient funds and technology are unwilling to develop more Stand-alone game, I have to say that this is a kind of sadness.
The reason why Chen Mo chose to make "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes" is to let players in this world experience this self-contained martial arts game, and to give a little inspiration to the domestic stand-alone game designers in this world.
