On Weibo, there are also many people on @陈莫.

"I found a good map "Sacred Realm", and gave an official recommendation, this map is really fun."

"Same as the recommended map "Sacred Realm".

"@陈陌, it's the 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 stop bullying my wallet with kryptonite games!"

Chen Mo flipped through these @his's comments, a little surprised, he didn't expect that there are quite a lot of diehard fans now.

And there are a lot of people here who are looking forward to the emergence of new high-quality games.

Chen Mo thought about it for a while and decided to give everyone some information.

He posted a Weibo post with a simple content.

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

Then there is a concept map: under a dark and gloomy sky, the dim candlelight in Trisham Cathedral is faintly visible, which looks very eerie. A traveler looks up at the sky, where a meteor pierces the sky and falls in the direction of the cathedral.

Not long after this Weibo was issued, the comments at the bottom exploded instantly!

"! Look at what I swiped, Chen Mo's new Weibo! ”

"Come on, come on, Chen Mo is going to make a PC game again, quick, buy and leave, guess what game it is this time?"

"Upstairs, are you stupid, didn't Chen Mo already tell you, a stand-alone RPG with a Western fantasy theme, this can't be more detailed!"

"Judging from this picture, isn't the atmosphere too gloomy? It feels very weird. This church feels like a cemetery......"

"Yes, if you look closely, you can still see the tombstone next to this church, and in the church window, it seems to be the shadow of a skeleton."

"Something to do with the undead in Warcraft?"

"No, in terms of art style, it seems to be much more eerie than Warcraft, more like that particularly dark medieval style."

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

"It's a pity that it's not an online game, it's a stand-alone game, so it should feel quite boring to play."

"Not necessarily, don't you still have to play a stand-alone game if you want to see the plot, besides, the average designer first makes a stand-alone RPG to accumulate experience and popularity, and then makes an online game RPG to be more secure."

"Yes, anyway, Chen Mo's product must be a high-quality product, just sit back and wait!"

"Hey, I thought he was going to make an RPG version of Warcraft, but it didn't. It's a shame. ”

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

Soon, the news also spread in the industry.

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

"When I heard that, I breathed a sigh of relief."

"How?"

"Fortunately, he doesn't play mobile games anymore, so give us a way to live!"

"But I'm developing PC games, who's going to give me a way to live?"

"Okay, you can see clearly, this time Chen Mo is developing a stand-alone game, focus on it, stand-alone games OK?"

"Oh, a single-player game, then I'm a little more relieved."

"Stand-alone games are okay, but the ability to attract money is limited, it seems that Chen Mo's plan this time is the same as "Warcraft", he wants to pave the way and do word of mouth by the way, not to make money."

"Then you have to be careful, if you crash with his game, it will definitely have an effect. Hurry up and take a look, study and study. ”

"The picture has been released on Weibo again! The name of the game is "Diablo", and this perspective doesn't seem to be a first-person perspective. ”

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

The new Weibo is also very simple, that is, it is marked with the name of the game "Diablo", with a picture below, which is a 45-degree oblique view of God, a barbarian armed with a double axe is fighting countless skeletons and demons.

"It really doesn't seem like a first-person perspective, he's going to do it in the third person?"

"There is this possibility, the third person is easier to control than the first person, this is the first time he has done an RPG theme, and it is normal to seek stability."

"That's actually okay, third-person games are getting fewer and fewer now, and they are no longer mainstream, and his game should not lose money, but it will definitely not be a hit."

"Yes, I can roughly guess Chen Mo's plan. It's too risky to do a first-person online game directly, so I will make a third-person stand-alone RPG first to make the transition, and as for the selling point, it is mainly the plot and theme. ”

"I think so too, he is making a game specifically for those players who love to play Western fantasy themes, and it just so happens that this part of the player group and the player base of "Warcraft" are highly overlapping, and the sales are guaranteed."

"What a false alarm. But I think it's a bit of a pity, doesn't this mean that Chen Mo admits it? Think about how domineering he was when he did "Warcraft" and "Legion Conquest", and now he is probably worried that he is not capable enough and has compromised. ”

"I'll say a point, I don't know if you've noticed, the color scheme of his two original paintings."

"Color?"

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

"Oh, he probably wanted to create this horrible, eerie atmosphere."

"That's not what I said. It's okay to want to create an atmosphere, but with such a dark color scheme, coupled with thrilling and terrifying scenes and music, the sense of immersion is strong, but how tiring is it to play? If you look at the current mainstream online games, I don't dare to do such a dark scene at all, because I am afraid that players will be depressed after playing for a long time. ”

"I see, I'm taught!"

Therefore, Chen Mo obviously made a mistake of taking it for granted, he wanted to go off the beaten path and make such a characteristic Western fantasy game, but he didn't think about whether the player could accept it at all, especially the art style, which was too hard! You look at Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment, which big company dares to do this? ”

"Amazing, big guy, I have benefited a lot from your analysis!"

"I think Chen Mo can definitely make money from this game, but he doesn't make much, and he has just recovered his costs, which can't be compared with the popular ones he made before. Maybe it's popular in a small circle, but it's definitely not popular. ”

"That's good, then I'll be relieved!"

……

Regarding Chen Mo's new game, the industry and player groups are discussing, but most people still feel that they are not optimistic.

It's also very simple, because the third-person perspective of single-player RPGs is basically one of the oldest game genres, and this thing is about to become the tears of the times, and sooner or later it will be eliminated.

Moreover, the potential of this type of game has been almost tapped, and now it is the world of first-person online games, and it is doubtful how many players there are in this kind of antique single-player RPG game.
