Almighty Game Designer Chapter 189: Absolutely not getting hot

There are also many people on Weibo @陈陌.

"I found a good map "Sacred Land", I recommend it to an official, this map is really fun."

"The same recommended map "Sacred Land"."

"@陈陌, New Year, it’s time to develop a new game! Don’t be lazy, my wallet is already hungry!"

"@陈陌, ask for a conscience work similar to "Warcraft", please don't bully my wallet with krypton games!"

Chen Mo flipped through these @他 comments and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he has many diehard fans now.

And there are many people here who are looking forward to the appearance of new boutique games.

Chen Mo thought for a while and decided to give you some information.

He posted a Weibo with very simple content.

"The new game is RPG, stand-alone game, Western Fantasy."

Then put together a concept map: Under a dark and gloomy sky, the dim candlelight in Tristram Cathedral seemed very strange. A traveler looked up at the sky, where a meteor pierced the sky and was falling towards the cathedral.

Not long after this Weibo was posted, the comments below instantly exploded!

"Fuck! Look what I posted, Chen Mo's new Weibo!"

"Here is coming, Chen Mo is going to do PC games again. Hurry up and buy it. Guess what game is this time?"

"Are you stupid upstairs? Didn't Chen Mo already tell you, the stand-alone RPG of Western Fantasy theme, this is so special that there is no more detail!"

"From this picture, is the atmosphere too gloomy? It feels very strange. This church feels like a graveyard..."

"Yes, if you look closely at the side of the church, you can still see the tombstone. In the church window, there seems to be the shadow of a skeleton."

"It has something to do with the undead in "Warcraft"?"

"It's not like it. From the art style, it seems to be much more gloomy than "Warcraft", more like that very dark medieval style."

"Look forward, Chen Mo is finally going to make an RPG game!"

"Unfortunately, it's not an online game, it's a stand-alone game. It feels like it's boring to play."

"Not necessarily. If you want to be optimistic about the plot, don't you still have to play a stand-alone game. Besides, the average designer first builds a stand-alone RPG to accumulate experience and popularity, and then it is safer to do an online RPG."

"Yes, anyway, Chen Mo's product must be a boutique product. Just wait!"

"Hey, I thought he was going to make the RPG version of "Warcraft", but it turned out not to be. What a pity."

"Who knows, maybe he has his own ideas, I also want to play the RPG of "Warcraft"!"

Soon, the news spread in the industry.

"Have you heard that Chen Mo's new game is PC side, stand-alone RPG, Western fantasy theme."

"I heard, take a breath."

"How?"

"Fortunately, he doesn't play mobile games anymore. He gives us a way to survive!"

"But I develop PC games, who will give me a way to survive?"

"Okay, you can see clearly, this time Chen Mo is developing a stand-alone game. Focus on the stand-alone game, OK?"

"Oh, stand-alone game, then I can rest assured."

"Single-player games are okay, with limited ability to attract gold. It seems that Chen Mo's plan this time is the same as "Warcraft". He wants to pave the way and build word of mouth by the way, not for making money."

"You have to be careful. If you crash with his game, it will definitely have an impact. Hurry up and take a look and study."

"The picture is released again on Weibo! The name of the game is "Diablo". This perspective does not seem to be a first-person perspective."

Many designers are paying attention to Chen Mo's Weibo, and they are studying the new Weibo as soon as it is released.

The new Weibo is also very simple. It is labeled with the game name "Diablo", with a picture below, which is a 45-degree angle of God’s perspective. A barbarian holding a double axe is facing countless skeletons and demons. fighting.

"It doesn't seem to be a first-person perspective. Is he going to be in the third person?"

"There is a possibility that the third person is easier to control than the first person. This is the first time he has done RPG theme. It is normal to seek stability."

"That's okay. Third-person games are now dwindling, and they are no longer mainstream. His game shouldn’t lose money, but it’s definitely not a hit."

"Yes, I roughly guessed Chen Mo's plan. It's too risky to play a first-person online game directly, so I first do a third-person stand-alone RPG to transition. As for the selling point, it is mainly the plot and themes."

"I think so too, he is dedicated to making a game for those who love to play Western Fantasy theme. It happens that this part of the players and the "Warcraft" player group are highly overlapped, and sales are guaranteed."

"It’s a false alarm. But I think it’s a pity. Doesn’t this mean Chen Mo admits it? Think about how aggressive he was when he was doing "Warcraft" hard and "Legion Conquer", now I am probably worried about himself Insufficient ability, compromise."

"I just said one point, I don't know if you have noticed, the color of his two original paintings."

"Color matching?"

"Well, the colors are all dark and very dark."

"Oh, maybe he wants to create such a scary and weird atmosphere."

"That’s not what I said. It’s okay to create an atmosphere, but with such a dark color scheme, coupled with horrible scenes and music, the immersion is strong or not, but how tired is it to play? You see now Mainstream online games don’t dare to do such a dark scene at all, because they are afraid that players will be depressed if they play for a long time."

"It turns out that this is the case, I was taught!"

"So, Chen Mo obviously made a mistake that he took for granted. He wanted to make such a characteristic Western Fantasy game ~IndoMTL.com~, but he never thought about whether the players could accept it, especially It’s the art style, it’s too hard! Look at the Dichao Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment. Which big company dares to do this?"

"Awesome, I have benefited a lot from your analysis, my boss!"

"I think that Chen Mo's game will definitely make money, but he didn't make much money, and he just recovered the cost. It is incomparable with the hits made before. Maybe it is very popular in a small circle, but It will never get hot."

"That's good, then I can rest assured!"

……

About Chen Mo's new game, the industry and the player community are discussing it, but most people still think it is not optimistic.

This is also very simple, because the single-player RPG with a third-person perspective is basically one of the oldest game types. This thing is about to become the tears of the times, and it will be eliminated sooner or later.

Furthermore, the potential of this type of game has been almost tapped. Now it is the world of first-person online games. How many players are there in this kind of antique stand-alone RPG game is a question to be doubted. .
