Almighty Game Designer Chapter 772: Gift to players: Stormwind City

As for Stormwind, in fact, when Chen Mo was working on "Minecraft" before, he made a block version.

So, the entire structure of Stormwind City has been reproduced, and Chen Mo does not need to introduce too much. Just let the project team make a high-definition version of the Stormwind City in "Minecraft". Up.

Using the Pangu engine, using the highest art effect of the "Uncharted Sea" level. It takes too much time to make an entire "World of Warcraft", but it's much easier to make just one Stormwind.

Chen Mo not only wants to reproduce Stormwind City in the past life, but also to further expand the scale of the entire city.

After all, the new Stormwind City needs to accommodate a large number of players in reality, no matter how big it is, it will definitely be full. That being the case, it must be the bigger the better, and the busier the better.

Of course, it can't be unlimited.

The size of the towns in the previous game has been carefully considered. If the size of Flash Gold Town or Stormwind City is constructed strictly according to the size, then the size of only one Flash Gold Town will exceed the size of Irvine Forest, and players need to walk ten times. Minutes to leave the town to fight monsters.

So, Flash Gold Town was reduced to a scale that can span east to west in one minute, and Stormwind is the same.

In other words, if you consider the scale of Stormwind City in the previous game, it is at least ten times smaller than that in the game. According to the setting in the story, the population of Stormwind City and surrounding villages and towns will reach 200,000. Players who enter the game will wonder, where are these 200,000 people?

Can't really make 200,000 NPCs.

So, Chen Mo still carried out a relatively conservative expansion. The size of the entire Stormwind City, the length and width are all multiplied by 2, which means that the area has actually become four times the original size.

The proportion of buildings cannot be enlarged year-on-year, so more details must be filled in, such as more houses, NPCs, etc.

It’s too big to build too much, because the game content players need is relatively limited. In the main city, it’s actually using auction houses, buying things from merchants, or finding important NPCs to pick them up. task. It looks good at first glance, but the practicality becomes worse.

If players have to run for half an hour to enter Stormwind, then they are wasting their lives. Moreover, there are not so many rich details to fill. There are too many to fill in. The house is the same. It is either empty or some useless NPCs, which also affects the game experience of the players.

Therefore, the area of ​​Stormwind City decided by Chen Mo is 4 times the original area. Some key parts, such as the central square, where players often gather, have been appropriately enlarged.

Although this area is a bit worse than the area in the original book, for the players, the city is already magnificent enough.

If more cities are to be built in the future, they will basically follow this size. Of course, if there are special circumstances, they may need to be expanded. However, Chen Mo didn't want any special circumstances, after all, it would be more troublesome to change it.

In fact, a fantasy city of this scale can only be built in a virtual world.

According to some statistics, if you consider building a theme park based on the size of Stormwind City in the previous "World of Warcraft" game, the investment is basically unimaginable. It is estimated that NPC costumes alone will cost tens of thousands. It is impossible to reproduce the entire urban area with an investment of tens of billions, and it is basically impossible to recover the cost.

If you think about it this way, it is worthwhile to build Stormwind City in the virtual world.

It's not enough to build Stormwind City. There must be related gameplay.

For example, the function of NPC, such as the clothing of the player, such as the gameplay in the city...

You can't just make an empty shell, the players can't do anything in it.

So, Chen Mo easily found a job for the players, so let's get a copy.

Anyway, there is a ready-made copy in Stormwind, Stormwind Prison. Weapon system and combat system are selected from "Dark Soul", and the equipment is also modified with "Dark Soul". As for the player's profession, the four classic professions of Fighting, Shepherd and Thieves are just fine. The symbolic three skills of each profession, plus the weapons that come with the Black Soul combat system, are enough for players to play for a while.

What? What do you say if the player has cleared the instance?

Again, this is the combat system of "Dark Souls". Is it okay to get through so easily?

Even if there is a high level of play, you can pass the level... Do more drops and lower the drop rate. Players who want good equipment must continue to suffer, brush more copies, this is where it is.

What? Are you too cheating?

It was originally an amusement park. It is not a real MMORPG game. It is just for the players to enjoy. It is very conscientious to achieve this level.

In addition, there are various merchants in Stormwind, each with different functions.

For example, vocational trainers allow players to choose or change their own occupations and learn vocational skills.

Various merchants can sell weapons, equipment, food, drinks, special items, etc. to players.

Some trainers can teach the players professional skills such as tailoring, jewelry processing, enchanting, etc. Of course, these contents are a little bit more open.

This brand new Stormwind City will be used as an update of "The Seaside Mansion", as a blockbuster update of the Double Eleven event, and will be given to players as a bonus.

Completely free.

……

……

As Double Eleven approaches, many people are distressed about their wallets.

After all, the double eleven chopped hands are refreshing for a while, and I have to eat dirt all month. Maybe the credit card will be paid off next month, and we have to continue to eat dirt.

Many players are lamenting that they are out of money.

The wallet king has been hollowed out by "Uncharted Seas" and "The Last of Us". There is still a warmth in "The Seaside Mansion" waiting to be fed, and there is really no money to go shopping online.

However, there are still some players who can't resist the temptation and start to see various discounts online.

Digital products, clothes, shoes...

Anyway, whether it's big or small, the things I usually don't want to buy, I bought on Double Eleven.

If you want to play games, you will have a good time. The usual money is used to buy games~IndoMTL.com~A lot of things are discounted during Double Eleven. It's time to buy some necessities.

As a result, the players are wondering what to buy. Chen Mo’s Weibo directly caused all players to explode in place!

"Fuck! This day can't be passed! Go and see Chen Mo's new Weibo!"

"Mom, Chen Mo is going to mix in Double Eleven? Is this murdering our wallet?"

"I'm not calm in an instant...you go and have a look, you won't be calm after reading..."

"What do you mean, Chen Mo is going to lose again?"

"It's more than a loss, it's a loss of blood!"

"The largest domestic game company, Thunder Mutual Entertainment, has closed down! Chen Mo owes 350 million yuan in gambling and gambling, and ran away with his sister-in-law! The original price of more than one thousand two thousand games, all at half price, all at half price! Chen Mo **** you are not a human being, you pay me back my hard-earned money, you pay back my hard-earned money!"

Many players are shocked. What is Chen Mo doing? How can double eleven be mixed?
