Chapter 285: Model (Three Changes)
Although everyone said it more implicitly, Chen Mo knew very well what these people were worried about.
Originally, the domestic channel providers were the two major game platforms of the Imperial Dynasty and the Divine Fantasy, and other messy small platforms could also live freely in the cracks.
Channel providers are in a strong position and have strong bargaining power, and independent game designers who do research and development are very weak and a bit exploited, but after all, they are still within the controllable range.
However, Chen Mo's Thunder Game Platform was born, nakedly breaking the unspoken rules of the previous channel providers, which is equivalent to starting a war against all domestic channel providers.
This will have the consequence of accelerating the integration of domestic game channels.
The cooperation between the two major platforms like Emperor Dynasty and Divine Fantasy is a relatively clear signal, they feel the threat, so they seize the time to integrate channel resources and want to stabilize the strong position of channel providers.
While this move is primarily aimed at the Thunder gaming platform, these indie game designers will also be affected to some extent.
If the Thunder Game Platform collapses, or compromises, then there will be a big alliance of channel providers in China, which is equivalent to the integration of the two major channel providers of the Imperial Dynasty and the Divine Illusion, then their power will become unprecedentedly strong.
How much bargaining power do these indie game designers have left?
I'm afraid it's even worse than before.
Of course, objectively, there is also the possibility of unifying domestic channels, but that possibility is very small, and it is basically impossible from the current point of view.
These designers all have this sense of crisis, but the war of channel providers is like a fight between gods and goddesses to them, and they can't intervene at all, so they have shown favor to Chen Mo.
After all, compared to those high-ranking big channel merchants, Chen Mo still feels more trustworthy.
Thunder Games-Chen Mo: "You don't have to think too much, the life of independent game designers will definitely be getting better and better in the future, and the current state of 'channel is king' in China is a relatively unhealthy state, which will change sooner or later." ”
"I just started to make my own Thunder Game Platform, and I don't want to be controlled by others, after all, everyone knows how maddening it is for those channel providers to always meddle in research and development."
"So don't worry, everyone, you concentrate on making independent games, and the Imperial Dynasty and Divine Fantasy can't make any waves."
[Group Leader] Three Kingdoms of Divine Nightmare - Zhang Xiaokong: "Yes, big guy, with your words, we can rest assured." ”
Zhu Fanglin: "Amazing, 666!" ”
Star Spirit Wings-Li Feng: "Awesome! ”
There was a wave of "666" in the group. Although these people are not familiar with Chen Mo, they still like Chen Mo's statement, at least for now, these designers and Chen Mo should be on the same front, and they are all enemies of those big channel merchants who monopolize the domestic market.
Star Spirit Wings-Li Feng: "Having said that, Chen Mo, do you know that Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment and the Divine Fantasy Game Platform are discussing internally to promote a dominant-level game to prove the strength of their new channel." ”
Thunder Game - Chen Mo: "I don't pay much attention. ”
Misty Dream - Lin Hailing: "Li Feng, you really deserve to be the intelligence officer of our group, you know this?" Let's talk about it in detail. ”
Star Spirit Wings-Li Feng: "Hey, after all, I, a street designer, like to collect gossip in the industry every day when I have nothing to do. I also heard from the Imperial Dynasty that they plan to play games internally, compete, and finally launch one or two games with omni-channel recommendations to create a real national-level game. ”
[Administrator] Hengyou.com-Qiu Hengyang: "They are here to demonstrate, and they want to show us how powerful omni-channel promotion is." ”
【Group Leader】Three Kingdoms of Nightmare - Zhang Xiaokong: "It's not just that. You think, if this game is really made for them, then it will definitely have to divide more player resources, and this big channel will become very terrifying. ”
Zhu Fanglin: "I'm a little curious, what game are they going to make?" ”
Star Spirit Wings-Li Feng: "I don't know about this, they will definitely try to keep this level of information secret, unless they deliberately release it themselves, it will be difficult to find out the details." ”
【Administrator】Hengyou.com-Qiu Hengyang: "In fact, there are only a few popular game types, and if you want to say that there are many players, you have to be MMORPG and FPS. ”
[Group Leader] Three Kingdoms of Nightmare - Zhang Xiaokong: "Yes, I must still make an RPG game." ”
Star Spirit Wings-Li Feng: "I heard that the Imperial Dynasty has the intention to act as COG, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”
[Group Leader] Three Kingdoms of Nightmare - Zhang Xiaokong: "It should be a small episode, COG is still too niche at present, and no one can say what will happen before the finished game comes out." I think it's nothing more than a layout of the imperial dynasty, like buying a lottery ticket. ”
The group began to discuss what kind of game the Emperor and Fantasy should be, and slowly the more they talked, the more they deviated, and the question of "whether MMORPG is a game type that can be surpassed" was skewed.
Chen Mo dived silently.
……
In the studio, Qian Kun is testing a new prototype of the game.
The map of the Summoner's Rift only opens up a small piece of the blue base, and the current art resources are all reused, from Warcraft and Diablo, although the art quality is very high, the overall art style is extremely chaotic, so it looks strange.
Qian Kun clicked the right mouse button in the clearing, and a barbarian walked up to the spot he clicked.
This barbarian is actually the force of Demacia-Galen, but because there is no model of Galen for the time being, the model of the barbarian is used instead.
Through the editor, Qian Kun placed a new enemy hero, a Teemo, in front of Galen.
Of course, this Teemo is not an official model, but the king of the hill in Warcraft.
The Timus, who looked exactly like the King of the Hill, was set to 100,000 HP and stood motionless. Qian Kun clicks on QER, and a set of damage hits Teemo's body, observing the effect of the attack.
There is a "silent" icon floating out, and the special effect of the big sword when the final ultimate slash is not yet there, but there is already a screen shaking effect.
There is nothing wrong with the damage stats, and there is nothing wrong with the skill mechanics.
Qian Kun looked at Chen Mo, who was standing aside: "Store manager, it's okay, this game prototype should be relatively stable at present." I'll test it out with a few more more complex heroes. ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay." It is mainly the judgment rules of various complex states, which must be very perfect. There are also skill tracks and effects, hero moves, etc., which must be refined. ”
Qian Kun said: "Don't worry, "Warcraft" and "Diablo" have done similar combat mechanisms, this time it's just more complicated, no problem." ”
Chen Mo patted Qian Kun's shoulder and continued to look at the progress of the work on the art side.
He is still very relieved about Qian Kun, although Qian Kun thinks about how to deceive players all day long, but he has a lot of experience in values, levels and combat systems, and he is very careful and rarely makes mistakes.
