Chapter 133: A New Version of Warcraft
After getting the new version of the planning document, Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi and Qian Kun began to get busy.
In fact, these RPG maps are not the most classic, nor are they the most balanced, so why did Chen Mo make these pictures?
Because these maps represent several branches of Warcraft RPG, they are the prototype of classic Warcraft RPG, which can not only allow players to experience the fun of Warcraft RPG, but also not go too far all at once, so that players' thinking is limited.
You must know that the RPG map of Warcraft has bred a monster like DOTA, and Chen Mo doesn't want the RPG map he made to give the designers some strange inspiration and shoot himself in the foot.
Defensive map: Guardian Athena.
The defensive map is very simple, but it contains the core elements of Warcraft RPG: hero matching, hero development. Over time, the attacking monsters will become stronger and stronger, and the player's way through the level is to find the best match among many heroes and many items.
Tower Defense Map: Tower Defense.
In fact, this map is derived from classic tower defense in previous lives such as loops. The core fun of tower defense is similar to that of defense maps, except that players need to choose a location to build a tower, and the core is changed from a hero to a defense tower.
Casual map: "The Great Pyramid Escape".
This map is arguably the epitome of casual maps, where players can choose from dozens of game modes and move around to dodge various traps to achieve victory.
Adversarial map: "Chenghai 3C".
In fact, Chenghai 3C is very primitive compared to DOTA, its biggest problem is imbalance, but its biggest charm is also unbalanced. Many players like to play the perverted version of "Chenghai 3C", and it is precisely because of its imbalance.
At the same time, because the player can control multiple heroes, this imbalance is somewhat diluted, making it a very entertaining map.
Chen Mo only plans to develop these four classic RPG maps, and let players ponder the other maps freely.
……
It didn't take too long to develop the new version, and it was basically done in less than two weeks.
There are a lot of maps in the Warcraft campaign, and these three people have all worked on it, and they are very familiar with the world editor, and it is not difficult to make these RPG maps at all, and the main time is spent on adjusting hero skills and setting the difficulty of the levels.
Chen Mo specially told that the hero skills in the RPG map must be completely different from those in the battle mode, which must not only conform to the characteristics of the heroes, but also make new ideas.
The three of them were basically meditating, but in the process, they also expanded their imagination a little and did it very interestingly.
Especially Qian Kun, who is basically fully responsible for the design of "Chenghai 3C", and as a whole reproduces the level of the previous life, Chen Mo is quite satisfied.
Chen Mo finally checked the completion of the three maps and said, "Okay, it's okay." ”
Su Jinyu: "Yes! That's it! ”
Zheng Hongxi: "But it doesn't seem to be difficult. ”
Qian Kun said: "Store manager, I feel that this version update has no content, although it seems to be quite fun, but will the players be satisfied?" I always feel that the maps this time are far from the content of the previous games. ”
Chen Mo said: "Don't worry. Hongxi, you write the version update notes, and then release the new version. ”
Soon, the version update notes were written, and Su Jinyu released the new version and the update notes simultaneously.
There are not many updates this time, only 1 CG has been updated, some basic settings have been enriched, and four RPG maps have been added.
In the case of CG, the main reason is that the production period is long, so it can only be updated one by one. If you take away the CG,These new additions are less than 1M.,Just from the perspective of capacity,It's a little shabby.。
Oh, it should be said that it is very shabby.
Of course, if you want to expand your capacity, you can make a new campaign. But the players' interest is now mainly focused on online battles, and the demand for new battles is not high, so Chen Mo didn't do it.
In this version update, Chen Mo didn't plan to charge, including the follow-up map production, and Chen Mo didn't plan to charge either.
Because there is very little content in the updated game, it would be too bad to charge in the form of DLC, and it will definitely not work.
Or you can also take the mode of map charging, for example, after a player makes a better RPG map, other players will spend 1~2 yuan to play this map, and the money will be divided in half by Chen Mo and the original author.
Chen Mo thought about it for a while, and did not adopt this charging model.
The reason is very simple, these maps must not be charged at the beginning, otherwise the popularity will definitely not get up, but the follow-up charges are very cheating, players will be very strange, why just start to play for free, and the more people play, they will be charged?
Therefore, the map fee is fine for the maker, but it will seriously dampen their enthusiasm for the player, which is contrary to Chen Mo's idea of making a Warcraft RPG map.
Chen Mo did not make Warcraft RPG maps for the healthy development of the game industry, but only to further stimulate the sales of the game "Warcraft".
RPG maps are very suitable for friends to open black together, Chen Mo did this, mainly to let the game "Warcraft" spread from the RTS gamer group to the periphery, so that these people can also pull friends and colleagues in, and one more is one more sales.
Moreover, the RPG map is also to further extend the vitality of the game "Warcraft", so that its influence will slowly spread and ferment, and pave the way for future PC games.
……
After a little bit of preparation, the new version of Warcraft is officially updated!
This new version update is relatively low-key, just sent a new version of the update notes, nothing else.
So much so that when many players log in to the game, they find that the game has been silently updated with a new version.
"Huh? Is there a new version? This Chen Mo's work efficiency is very fast! ”
"Yes, Warcraft is developing very well now, and there are no balance problems, so it won't release a new version so soon, right?"
"O conscience! Wow, is this still the Chen Mo I know, I was almost moved to tears! ”
"yes, why did your conscience suddenly find out?"
"Quick, let's see what the hell is going on?"
Soon, players began to shout after checking the specific update content.
"I rub, what do I see? A CG, some settings options updated, a couple of new maps??? ”
"Could it be that you're kidding me?"
"Damn, this is also a new version? Chen Mo, is there any difference between the new version of our two understandings? ”
"It's okay, no charge......"
"Damn, is there still a charge for this Dogecoin? Is there any reason left? Is there any law left? Yes? ”
"Updated a new CG, I took a look, it's great!"
"So, is the new CG the only thing useful in this version update......"
"This, Thunder Mutual Entertainment is going to transform into a Thunder Film Studio?"
"Are you a game company or a movie company!!"
