After the Spring Festival holiday, the daily work is back on track.

Many young people who returned to the imperial capital from their hometowns brought back matrix glasses that arrived during the Spring Festival, not only at parties, but even some to their own companies.

During the Chinese New Year, only relatives and friends in the same hometown were able to share matrix glasses, but now, this range has been extended to colleagues and friends at work.

The popularity of matrix glasses is still increasing, and more and more people are already a little unable to resist the temptation to buy it themselves and play with it under the turn of relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates, etc.

This new smart device is changing people's lives step by step and imperceptibly, expanding at a rapid pace.

……

Chen Mo has also prepared a research and development plan for the new year, and the first game is an exclusive MR game for matrix glasses.

This is an MR game based on the classic game of Chen Mo's previous life, and has added a lot of magic content: "Elf World", English name "pokemon orld".

As for why you should choose this game?

Because the essence of AR and MR games is: going out, which is the "go" emphasized in "pokemon go".

Different from VR, MR games pay more attention to the "combination of virtual and real", connecting an entire region through games, so that players can also intersect in reality.

Although Chen Mo launched games such as "Three Kingdoms Killing" and "Jump" for matrix glasses, their main purpose is to show players the characteristics of MR's combination of virtual and real, which is more of a show of skill.

For example, "Three Kingdoms", the MR version of "Three Kingdoms" is its biggest highlight compared to card and PC games. But what if compared to VR games?

Suppose there is a VR version of "Three Kingdoms" now, which can be ten times cooler than the MR version of "Three Kingdoms", after all, the performance of the game cabin is there.

The MR version of "Three Kingdoms Killing" focuses on "face killing", if it is "net killing", then there is really no advantage in doing MR.

Therefore, Chen Mo's choice to do "Three Kingdoms Killing" also hopes that players will go to face to face and not match with people on the Internet. "Three Kingdoms" supports the free combination of 2 to 8 players, and the rules are relatively simple and easy to use, which can be said to be very suitable for MR games.

However, although you can also make MR games like chess, Go and other types of chess and cards, the effect will not be as good as "Three Kingdoms".

Because most of this chess game is one-on-one combat, and the competitiveness and professionalism are much stronger than "Three Kingdoms". If four or five friends play together, then there is no way to enter the same game, you can only split two or two battles, if the total number is an odd number, the extra student is very embarrassed; Also, the level gap between players is too large, which can also make the game less fun.

At this time, on the contrary, the online version can match opponents according to the points, which can better ensure the game experience of players.

Therefore, although similar chess and card games are also good, it is difficult to achieve a "combination of virtual and real", at most it is just a table in reality. Most one-on-one chess and card games are difficult to quickly spread the virus.

Therefore, Chen Mo finally finalized "Elf World".

In terms of subject matter, "Elf World" will not fully copy "Pokemon GO", but will add more elf/pet types.

In Chen Mo's previous life, the success of "Pokemon GO" benefited from many years of IP accumulation, from anime to generations of console games, accumulating a large number of players for this series. So at the beginning of the launch of "Pokemon Go", many fans were moved to tears.

But in parallel worlds, players don't have this kind of feeling, and they don't understand how precious they are when they see a Pikachu or Mewtwo.

It's not impossible to make anime to hype up IP, the problem is that it's been too long, and Chen Mo can't wait. The competition between smart glasses is so fierce, can a set of anime become popular all over the world immediately? Not particularly realistic.

What's more, Chen Mo now has a lot of IP in his hands, so there is no need to be obsessed with the content in "Pokemon Go".

At least there are several IPs that are or have been popular for Elven World now:

Plants vs. Zombies, Onmyoji, Diablo, League of Legends, Overwatch, Super Mario, Dark Souls, all of these games have tons of "elf" assets available, such as Baby Pea Shooter, Big Pineapple, Baby Timo, Mini Fortress, Baby Kuba, Baby Sewer Salary, and more.

What's more, Chen Mo and the entire world of Azeroth, you must know that "World of Warcraft" also has a small pet battle gameplay, and all those strange things can be moved.

Even games like "Flappybird", "Minecraft", and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can have linkage elves, such as Pixel Bird, Baby Cubeman Steve, Baby Pan and the like.

"The End of America" comes to a baby follower? The beauty of the painting is not seen.

Of course, if all these contents are added up, the number of the entire elf library is estimated to explode, but it is still the same sentence, there are materials......

Except for the sprites in Pokemon Go, which need to be reworked, all the other materials are ready-made, and they can be used if you change them. Moreover, it is not necessary for the first version to expand the inventory of the entire "Elf World" to a great extent, and new elves will be released in batches later.

If the IP is not enough, then take more IP to make up, and then link up with all the games on the Thunder game platform, so as not to worry about the lack of popularity.

In terms of gameplay, it will still be based on "pokemon go", but some other AR games such as "Ingress" will also be added.

In other words, the core gameplay of "Elf World" is: elf/pet collection, elf/pet raising, elf/pet battle, gym competition, and so on.

This is also the core competitiveness of "Elf World" to become a super-explosive MR game: a large number of top IPs are piled up, fully interacting with the real world, and covering all people who use smart glasses to the greatest extent.

Even other game companies want to copycat "Elf World" It is difficult because there are not so many IPs at all. Moreover, in the absence of major innovation in gameplay, it is impossible for the latecomer game to surpass the first-mover advantage of "Elf World".

……

Once the idea is roughly settled, it's time for some specific details.

The design concept is not difficult to write, because the gameplay of "Elven World" is very mature, and the problems that need to be tangled are mainly in two aspects.

The first is to unify the art style, consider the performance of combat special effects, and provide players with the best MR visual effects possible.

The second is to do a good job of balancing the numbers of such a large number of elves with each other, and the entire combat system.
