Almighty Game Designer Chapter 561: Mobile game MOBA
There are complaints on forums and post bars almost every day. Which pig teammate was cheated by another pig teammate today? Why are the primary school students still not starting school...
It is true that on weekends and holidays, many people can feel that the probability of encountering a pig teammate increases significantly.
There are also many people who said: "Chen Mo, please quickly open an identity verification mode, don't let elementary school students log in to the game, it is troublesome!"
Chen Mo has always played haha, joking, elementary school students are also one of my important player groups. It is not easy for elementary school students to work hard to save some new year money. Am I still a human if I don't make money?
For players, we should treat them equally!
However, although "League of Legends" now has a group of elementary school players, the number is still too small. The real core players of "League of Legends" are young people between the ages of 16 and 26.
Although there are more female players and elementary school players in "League of Legends" compared to other games, Chen Mo is obviously still not satisfied.
In the parallel world, mobile games and VR are both very developed, causing serious diversion to the PC side. "League of Legends" can only unify the PC side. Although it will slightly affect the other two platforms, the strength is limited.
If you want to further expand your player base, you still can’t just rely on one platform.
Chen Mo was considering, Zou Zhuo walked over with a sigh and sat next to him.
"What's the matter, it's frowning. Dumped?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"Don't mention it." Zou Zhuo's expression hurt, "Diamond promotion has failed again."
Chen Mo patted his shoulder sympathetically: "Hey, this is normal."
Zou Zhuo said he was very dissatisfied: "The manager, why do you always run into this kind of cheating teammates? As long as my teammates can play, I can win, but I can't hold my teammates to send them away!"
Chen Mo laughed: "Zou Zhuo, you can win when you meet a teammate who can play carry, and you can only lose when you meet a teammate who can’t play. That doesn’t mean you are in this segment. Is it? If you can really carry each one by yourself, how can you not get it?"
Zou Zhuo was shocked: "It feels like what you said makes sense...but I still want to say something, do tmd elementary school students!"
Chen Mo smiled: "If you think about it, elementary school students may be on your side or on the opposite side. Isn't elementary school students happy to be teammates?"
Zou Zhuo lamented: "But...it seems like elementary school students have never been in a row...Oh, I just thought, can you find a way to restrain these elementary students?"
Chen Mo looked at him: "Well...you can develop a game specifically for elementary school students, let them play, and you won't be tricked in "League of Legends"."
Zou Zhuo said: "That's also realistic? Now elementary school students are not like before. They all like to play "League of Legends" games. They also like to play heroes that can be shown, like children's robbery... If you make a game, they don’t really like to play it."
Chen Mo smiled: "You don't have to worry about it. They definitely like to play the games I make."
……
It has been more than a year since "League of Legends" went live.
With the continuous popularity of "League of Legends", moba games have also begun to become popular. But on the PC side, "League of Legends" has become a general trend, and it is basically impossible to have any moba games that can shake his position.
Because this kind of game has a strong exclusivity, players will feel very uncomfortable to play other games after playing a moba game.
So in the PC field, it is difficult to reproduce a moba game that can compete with "League of Legends".
The VR field is not suitable for transplanting this type of game, so many game companies focus on the mobile game platform.
Transplanting "League of Legends" to mobile games seems to be a good option, and the design concepts of mobile game designers are constantly innovating, not as limited as before.
With the baptism of games such as "Onmyoji" and "Yeltou Beach", most designers have realized that mobile game players basically have no bottom line. Even if it is a game of the liver, these players are also I’ll do it right...
So, on the one hand, many designers are preparing to port the successful rpg games on PC to mobile games, and on the other hand, they are also considering porting moba games like "League of Legends" to mobile platforms.
There are indeed two or three game companies that are already doing it, but the finished game is not good, and the experience is not as good as the computer, so it has not become popular.
For Chen Mo, the time has come, and if these game companies are allowed to explore, there will surely be a designer who can reproduce a relatively complete moba work on the mobile game platform.
Obviously, Chen Mo will not give them this opportunity.
……
Many mobile game designers of Emperor Huyu and Zen Huyu are studying the solution of porting moba games to mobile phones, and some designers are also discussing in private.
"Have you heard? The online number of "League of Legends" has reached a new high~ IndoMTL.com~ Now it can be said to dominate the PC terminal, and you can make money while lying down!"
"Yes, but having said that, who would have thought that "League of Legends" could have such a big development prospect before? Everyone thought that the PC terminal was already cold."
"Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment should also have a project, consider making a mobile game moba?"
"Yes, do you also have projects there?"
"There must be! And two projects are almost completed, but some details are still to be discussed."
"Yes, we are also stuck in this link. The main problem is the replenishment, the rhythm of the game, and the release of skills. If these problems can be solved, the core of moba games can be reproduced on the mobile game platform. Fun shouldn't be difficult."
"But these problems are not easy to solve! I have tried several solutions, but none of them feel good."
……
Many designers are considering how to port moba games to the mobile game platform, but there is no perfect solution yet.
The design plan of these people is basically based on the template of "League of Legends", because "League of Legends" has achieved great success on the PC side, and its game design concept and numerical model have long been proved to be Very successful design, so most designers choose to continue to use it.
However, how to adapt to the characteristics of the mobile game platform is still confusing for many designers.
On the one hand, there are operational issues, such as how the player should move and attack, and how should he choose the target he wants to attack? How to judge whether the player wants to fight heroes, towers or grab monsters?
Moreover, some specific skills can be troublesome when they are cast. For example, the blind monk can use the whirling kick very smoothly on the computer, but this operation is a bit too masochistic on the mobile game platform.
