Almighty Game Designer Chapter 276: COG trial play
Qiujiang said indifferently: "Although GA is a big company, it produces a lot of bad games every year, especially when it buys some small studios, as long as they feel that the game is a little bit more interesting. I will buy it, and I don’t care whether it can be made."
Lin Zhaoxu shook his head: "Although what you said is correct, GA should be real this time. There are indeed several senior executives who are very optimistic about this game."
Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Why?"
Lin Zhaoxu said: "I also experienced this game, and GA’s opinion is the same. This is a very promising game type, and its biggest feature is its originality."
Lin Zhaoxu briefly introduced the core gameplay, tactical points and main fun of COG to the three people.
Qin Xiao pondered for a moment: "Playing a picture back and forth is equivalent to a new experience every time?"
Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "In fact, it can be regarded as an RTS game that only requires one unit to be manipulated, which minimizes the barriers to entry. Different heroes are suitable for players with different preferences, and five people cooperate closely to achieve victory. And the pace is about the same as RTS games, which is its advantage."
Qiujiang nodded: "Fast pace is indeed an advantage. A big problem of MMORPG is that character levels and equipment need to be accumulated. It is difficult for new players to keep up with the progress of old players. Natural fragmentation."
She thought for a while, and then said: "But if this game takes out the growth, players should lack a long-term goal?"
Qin Xiao shook his head: "No, just look at FPS games and RTS games. The advantages of FPS games are that they are easy to use, fast-paced, and replayable. There is no level, no growth, and no impact. Player’s later fun. I think this kind of game should be the same routine."
Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Yes. At present, this map is very popular in Europe and the United States. There are tens of thousands of players playing every day, and it has completely crushed other "Warcraft" maps. Although it has not been completely in China. It's getting hot, but it should be fast too."
"From the feedback from the players, they did not feel that this map would be too tired to play too much, but they have always played with relish. It is precisely because of the data of these players that the author of this map has the confidence to agree GA talks about cooperation."
Yan Zhenyuan said: "Then, what do you mean, President Lin?"
Lin Zhaoxu said seriously: "I plan to talk to GA and strive to obtain the domestic agency of this game."

In Chen Mo's experience store.
The cooperation between Dichao Mutual Entertainment and Shenhua Game Platform to create a huge channel has made everyone a little worried, but Chen Mo is still like a okay person, and enjoys traveling every day.
Recently, the number of people playing "Warcraft" in the PC experience area has slowly increased again, but most of them are not playing the battle mode, but playing a brand new RPG map: COG.
"Shop manager, morning." Zou Zhuo walked to the PC experience area with a bag of potato chips, and happened to run into Chen Mo who had just come downstairs.
Chen Mo looked at the potato chips in his hand: "Although I am very happy that you have been buying snacks in the experience store, but considering your body shape, I still advise you to be a little restrained, otherwise it is very likely to find No girlfriend."
Zou Zhuo nonchalantly grabbed two potato chips and threw them into his mouth: "But, the manager, you are so skinny and you don't have a girlfriend."
Chen Mo: "..."
I can’t talk this day!
Zou Zhuo said: "By the way, the manager, are you okay today, come and play games together?"
Chen Mo sternly refused: "No, it's working time. As a boss, I should set an example. How can I secretly play games?"
Zou Zhuo nodded: "Oh, that's it. Then you announce that you are going to rest today? Anyway, you are the boss, and you can rest whenever you say you want to rest."
Chen Mo thought for a while: "It seems to be right, then wait a minute."
It didn't take long for Chen Mo to take the elevator back from the fourth floor.
"Okay, I told everyone that I will rest today and we can play games."
"..."
Zou Zhuo was speechless with his mouth full of potato chips, but raised his thumb at Chen Mo.
Sitting down in the PC experience area, Chen Mo and Zou Zhuo opened "Warcraft".
Chen Mo has already closed the pop-up window for friend application and the invitation to battle, so although the ID of Silent is very famous, he has not received much harassment.
Zou Zhuo found the map of COG and built a room.
Chen Mo asked: "You haven't played the battle mode anymore?"
Zou Zhuo nodded: "Well, mainly because I feel that I have reached the ceiling of personal strength. I am stuck at more than 3800 points, which is really not going up. Moreover, the COG picture is really fun, and I feel whole body without playing for a day. It's uncomfortable."
Soon, the room for 10 people was full.
The map of COG has gradually become popular in China, and there is also a special localization group that has localized the game content. Although it has not yet reached the level of popularity in foreign countries, it is already the hottest confrontation map in China. It surpassed the Chenghai 3C launched by Chen Mo in official capacity.
Zou Zhuo is very excited: "Manager, have you never played this picture before?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, I haven't played."
Zou Zhuo said: "Great, I can finally teach the store manager to play games! Store manager, let me tell you, this picture is quite complicated. There are more than 30 heroes in it. Each hero They all have different skills, different characteristics, and different equipment. Tsk, the content of this game is too rich."
"The manager, you may not be used to it at first, I suggest you play [The God of the Jungle]. The operation of this hero is relatively simple and suitable for novices."
Chen Mo took a look. [The God of the Jungle] is Malfurion in "Warcraft". It has four skills, namely Summon Treant and Root Entangling (Control Skill~IndoMTL.com~Single Enemy freezes), healing (healing skills, single friendly unit blood), emerald dream (control skills, hypnotize enemies within range).
Indeed, this hero looks like a support, very suitable for novices.
Chen Mo said: "Well, this hero is indeed more suitable for me, but I choose the Dark Ranger."
Before Zou Zhuo had time to stop, Chen Mo had chosen the dark ranger Sylvanas and entered the game.
Zou Zhuo: "...Well, the manager, you can do it well, you can play whatever you want."
As soon as he entered the game, he began to dispatch troops. Chen Mo walked under his defense tower while quickly browsing the game's equipment system and hero skills.
This picture of COG was made using the model in "Warcraft". At first glance, it looks a bit like Chen Mo's DOTA in his previous life, but in fact, the gap is still very large.
Like hero settings and skills, although COG has also made some changes to the skill system of "Warcraft", but overall it has not got rid of the mode of "Warcraft", or in other words, it has not completely formed its own independent style. .
