Almighty Game Designer Chapter 190: Try it out
Like Chen Mo's "The Legend of the Martial Arts Hero" and Zen Mutual Entertainment's "Yu Jian Wen Qing", the first month sales of this single-player game were only about 400,000, which was completely drizzle.
Many people think that Chen Mo is more than conservative and not enterprising in making such a game. Even if he can maintain the sales of this game at a good level with his strong plot ability and reputation, It is absolutely impossible to catch fire.
What's more, judging from the original painting released by Chen Mo, this game is a bit too suspicion of being too slant. How many players would like such a strong and weird cult style?
Once you can't control it, this game will drive away the majority of mainstream players.
Someone is looking forward to it.
Someone questioned.
Someone sneered.
……
Chen Mo hasn't been affected in any way. Anyway, he basically doesn't pay attention to these doubts. The game is good or not until he has made it.
Before that, I forcefully predicted that there is a high probability of being beaten in the face.
The development progress of "Diablo" is also steadily advancing.
After the staff expansion, the research and development speed has been greatly accelerated.
In Chen Mo's previous life, the development of "Diablo 3" took a long time. If you count from "Diablo 2" to "Diablo 3", it would have skipped 12 years.
Of course, there are a lot of twists and turns here, and most of the time is not spent on developing games, but spent on overthrowing and redoing.
Due to commercial mergers and acquisitions, Blizzard North’s "Diablo 2" creative team collectively resigned, and the development of "Diablo 3" was also put on hold for a long time.
The original version that had been developed was not favored by the senior management. The final result was a complete overthrow and rework. Therefore, "Diablo 3" did not perfectly continue the spiritual connotation of "Diablo 2".
For Chen Mo, he can completely avoid the detours he has gone through and look at this game with a very mature eye, so the development progress has been greatly accelerated.
A large number of original paintings of monsters and characters were completed by Zhou Hanyu after Chen Mo gave the line drafts and handed over to the outsourcing company to uniformly produce models and movements, and accept them in batches.
Several assistants handle various scenes and levels through the fantasy editor, and adjust the battle flow of the entire game.
High-level CG than "Warcraft" is also being produced intensively.
There are also numerical balance, prop design, detailed adjustments related to player experience, etc. The entire studio is operating at full capacity. Under the leadership of Chen Mo, these people are twisted into a rope, and the development speed is greatly accelerated. .
"Diablo" is more difficult to develop than "Warcraft", but after expanding the manpower, the development progress is faster than "Warcraft". It took more than four months before and after it was basically completed The original game version.
The CG is not complete, and the numerical balance is not particularly perfect. There are no secrets, ladders and expert modes, but it is already playable.
……
Chen Mo came to the experience store, found an empty massage chair and lay down.
In the past few days, he has been checking and accepting various art resources and skills, levels and other settings. He was a little busy, and finally got a free time, lying on the massage chair for a while.
Zou Zhuo is playing "Warcraft" on the computer next to him.
"The store manager has worked hard. How is the new game?" Zou Zhuo said as he handed Chen Mo a can of drink. "After hearing that it was an RPG game, my heart was itching, but the goldfish still has money. They all moved there, and I can’t see the progress of the game."
Chen Mo said: "It's ready to play, wait a moment, I'll go get a mobile hard drive to copy a demo version."
Zou Zhuo was pleasantly surprised: "Is it, you can already play? Great, the manager, your efficiency is really terrifying!"
Chen Mo returned to the studio next to him, took the mobile hard disk and copied the unfinished version of "Diablo" and installed it on Zou Zhuo's computer.
According to Chen Mo's estimation, it should be online in half a month. Now let Zou Zhuo play, experience the entire game process, and collect player feedback.
The installation was completed soon. Zou Zhuo was a little hard to restrain his inner excitement. After all, he was the first player to try this game and he was very proud.
The players next to him also gathered around.
"Fuck, "Diablo" is ready to play?"
"The manager is so productive, like a sow, hurry up, come and have a look!"
"It's amazing, onlookers onlookers."
"Manager, I want to play too!"
Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, this is just a demo version, there are still many questions, you guys wait patiently, next week, put it on the computer in the experience store for everyone to play casually, next week It will be officially released every week."
Zou Zhuo double-clicked the icon on the desktop: "I don't care, anyway, I have to experience it first!"
The others all came over and watched Zou Zhuo try it out.
As expected, before entering the game, it was a CG.
The first thing that catches your eyes is a piece of red ink pad with the logo of Thunder Game.
The lens is slowly pushed upwards, and under the inkpad is a fine-material parchment scroll filled with unclear text.
Along with a somewhat suppressed melody, an old voice whispered.
"When the doomsday comes, a different fire will pierce the sky."
"Justice will fall in the world of mortals, and the war of light and darkness will spread to the eternal kingdom..."
With this whisper like prophecy, scrolls appeared on the scroll of parchment.
One crow appeared on the battlefield lined with spears, a thunderbolt burst in the air, waterfall-like light poured down, and an army of angels came from above and rushed to the ground of the demon army.
Scenes of war scenes, angels and demons fought fiercely on the battlefield. In the end, the earth cracked and a huge demon appeared in the picture scroll, opening his blood basin and rushing over!
Leah wakes up suddenly~IndoMTL.com~ There is still extreme fear in her eyes.
In the gloomy cathedral, the old Dika Kane is still at his desk looking at ancient records.
"According to these records, the demons of **** may have taken action, and we must warn the world as soon as possible!"
"You believe what I said, don't you, Leah? The end has come..."
At this moment, the cathedral suddenly began to vibrate violently, a thunder flashed by, and a terrifying fire suddenly appeared in the clouds in the sky, it was a meteorite.
The meteor pierced the sky and fell towards the cathedral. The violent impact caused Leah to fall to the ground. When she stood up to look for the figure of Deca Kane, she found that only a huge one was left in the distance. Deep pit.
"Uncle!!!"
Amid Leah’s screams, the entire CG ended, and the game LOGO of "Diablo" appeared in the center of the screen, along with its English name.
DIABLO!
