"The Three Kingdoms?"

While everyone was training for the game, Sen Xia was checking the game with Lihua at this time.

Well, when everyone was in the hot game, Senxia was blowing the air conditioner in the office, drinking drinks, and the two little secretaries (Lihua and Xiyan) around him, Senxia had a good life.

And at this time, Mori Xia is here to try a new game.

The game "Three Kingdoms" is an exhibition match that Senxia is preparing to play during the World Series in October, and this work will also be released at that time.

"yes, I saw it at E3, I contacted them and brought it over. ”

Maybe few people have heard of the game "Three Kingdoms", and many people may think that this is a gimmick with the Three Kingdoms, but in fact, "Three Kingdoms" is a very classic game.

Perhaps few people know, but in fact, "Three Kingdoms" is the first game to be exhibited at the E3 exhibition in an eastern country, and it is also one of the few games in an eastern country that has been translated into English and released abroad.

Well, yes, the game has also been translated into English and released abroad.

At least that's how the original world line was.

Senxia didn't care too much about the game "Three Kingdoms" before, and Senxia at that time was working hard for the E3 exhibition.

But at the beginning of the exhibition, Sen Xia had a whim, and suddenly wanted to see what games were in a certain eastern country.

Then at that time, Sen Xia saw the proud Three Kingdoms.

Then, Senxia's eyes lit up, and then he connected with the other party.

After that, Mori Xia put the proud Three Kingdoms in the exhibition tournament project.

The Three Kingdoms is a very interesting game, in the original world line, there are two works in the Three Kingdoms, one is the original, and the other is the expansion pack "Three Points of the World".

And this is one of the few games where the original is more interesting than the expansion.

Three Kingdoms is a real-time strategy game, no, to be precise, it should be a strategy strategy game.

"Is this the game next door?" Lihua is now Senxia's assistant, but she hasn't started working right away, because Lihua herself has a lot of things to settle on the side of Company A.

"Let's play and see how you feel about the game. Instead of playing by herself, Sen Xia pulled Lihua in front of her computer and said, "I want to hear how you feel about this game." ”

"Hi. ”

Lihua's feeling about the game is neutral, she doesn't hate it, and she doesn't like it, but such a Lihua can give Senxia a reasonable judgment.

Lihua played along with the game.

Although it is still the first time to contact this game, Lihua is no stranger to real-time strategy games, Command and Conquer, Interstellar, Warcraft and Age of Empires, etc., Lihua has tried as a reference for games on her own side.

After Lihua became familiar with the game, she began to officially fight.

Well, it's still a crushing duel.

After Lihua finished the game, Senxia quickly began to ask, "How do you feel?"

"Huh?" After hearing Senxia's name, Lihua felt a little short circuit in her brain, "What did you just say?"

"How does this game feel, Christina?" asked Senxia.

"Wait a minute, Mori Natsu-kun. Lihua seemed to understand, "Is Christina talking about me?"

"yes," Senxia nodded, "Since it's an assistant, it's Christie!"

"I'm not Chris, and I'm not Tina, Sen Xia-kun, what strange things are you thinking!"

Christina, a name that sounds pretty ordinary.

But for some reason, after Lihua heard the name, especially when the name was associated with the title "assistant", Lihua felt an inexplicable bad taste.

"Isn't that great, Christina~" Mori Xia is addicted to playing memes.

"......" Lihua fell into an inexplicable speechlessness.

"Well, forget it," Mori Xia said again, "don't pursue this, my dear assistant sauce, tell me quickly, what you think of this game!"

"Dear assistant sauce......" Lihua felt her head hit by something, "Hmm...... Let me think. ”

In order to hide her vacillation, Lihua quickly began to think about her opinion of the game.

After a while, Lihua said: "The mode of this game is very interesting, although at first glance there are many shadows of the Age of Empires, but it does have its own characteristics, and the mode of the city and field dual maps is also relatively novel. ”

Since it is the "Three Kingdoms Era", the so-called siege of the city must exist.

In the game, the place where the player starts to develop is his own city, but in addition to his own city map, there are also wild maps in the game.

Although the two maps of the inner city and the outer city are somewhat similar, the actual differences are subtle.

In particular, there are also some items in the game that can send people into each other's cities, which is also very interesting.

Far from it.

After hearing Lihua's opinion, Senxia took out his notebook and wrote down the content one by one.

"How do you feel different from other games?" asked Mori Xia again.

"Well, there are a few references, but overall, the game is quite special. Ear, I want to see...... By the way, what is more novel is that there is a loss of logistical resources, soldiers have morale and physical limitations, and they must bring food and grass when they go out to fight, well, these places are very different from other places. ”

One of the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms is the need for money, food and grass.

Similar to other games, such as StarCraft and the like, there is a "population" limit. In the proud Three Kingdoms, the corresponding restriction is very special, that is, the design of carrying grain and grass in wars, if you do not bring grain and grass in wars, there is absolutely no return. This is rare in pure real-time strategy games.

"In addition, the persuasion system is closer to the strategy category. ”

Three Kingdoms is one of the few games that has more power than the expansion, and there are many interesting designs in the original game of Three Kingdoms, but unfortunately, these designs were emasculated in the expansion.

Well, in this way, the strategy of the game actually decreases, but this design improves the gameplay itself, because it makes the combat easier and more comfortable.

"So what's the downside?"

Senxia asked again.

"Hmm...... Personally, I don't think it's a strategy game that feels a little too intense. ”

Compared to the previous games that have been played back and forth, although this proud Three Kingdoms is interesting to watch, it is a bit boring to play.

"Well, indeed. ”

Senxia thought about it.

"In this era, everyone's entertainment activities are not as abundant as they were twenty years later, there are no devices such as mobile phones, and everyone's time is more inclined to ...... whole block."

In the world twenty years later, because of the development of Internet technology and other reasons, rather than simply playing games, everyone prefers to read the news on the Internet and then read two books, but in this era, everyone's time is relatively whole, and this means that most people in this era will be willing to spend the whole piece of time for recreation.

Well, at least judging by what Senxia is currently observing, that's the way it is.

And the proud Three Kingdoms do have shortcomings.

"Senxia, do you want to make a similar real-time strategy game?"

Lihua asked.

"I don't think I'll do real-time strategy, but the game is very inspiring. Senxia said.

How to develop a game according to the player's taste is a science.

It's like a hero trajectory game. This game lasts at least half an hour, and if it is more intense, it may take forty or fifty minutes, and if the two sides are deadlocked, it can easily be played for more than an hour.

And if you change to a short and quick game like the dead pesticide (laughs), the time will be shortened to 20 minutes, and people in this era may not like it.

The game of Honor of Kings still has the attractiveness of the game, but people in this era need the kind of game that can be developed and polished exquisitely, so the game of Honor of Kings is destined to be too popular in this era - because the time of a game is too short!

Of course, as the public becomes more and more fragmented, future games will also change, and the number of games that need to be played with bladder holding is also decreasing.

In some sense, this is actually a bit of a pity, because many games take a long time to play before they can develop an emotional ......

What, you say the civilization series?

People originally have a core group of players, "play one more round" or something, it's not a particularly popular game, and the number of people joining in the fun is actually more.

For this kind of game, what is more needed is to sell memes, and for games like Dark Souls, it is more important to brush sales.

Some games are inherently made for others to watch live, and many games are broadcast live, which is far more interesting than playing it yourself.

For example, the famous cat Leo and the "I-ANT" series belong to a large audience, but not necessarily a tenth of them will play the kind of "viewing games".

Because everyone likes to watch live broadcasts, how they like to be killed.

These games are the kind of games that are full of malice, because in such games, there are often many terrible traps that the player does not know exist, and these traps will stab the player in the back when they think they are about to pass the level.

Watching people suffer, everyone is refreshed, and playing by themselves is called masochism......

That's the difference between the games.

"But I don't know if the browser game can be played ......"

Senxia thought about it, and suddenly a very special game appeared in his mind.

Well, of course, it's not about the infamous money pit web game.

At this time, Senxia thought of a famous ship girl game, and this game is the fleet collection.

Well...... Can this kind of game be released now?

Well, it seems that there is still no way.

Senxia himself immediately rejected the view.

"I turned off the game, huh?" Lihua saw Sen Xia enter deep thought, and she also turned off the game on her side, "Sen Xia, you seem to be a little disappointed?"

"I can't say it's a disappointment, this game is really interesting, but it's a pity that the flaws in the game itself. ”

Well, in fact, the flaws of these games are known to others, but even so, this game still made it into the exhibition competition of the World Esports Championship.

What made the proud Three Kingdoms land in the exhibition match was not actually Senxia, but the game market of a large eastern country.

As the first game of an oriental power to enter the E3 exhibition, the role of this "halo" of the proud three kingdoms is actually greater.

Many game manufacturers have no objections, or they are interested in the game of the Three Kingdoms entering the exhibition competition, in fact, they also want to throw stones to ask for directions, and see the situation in a large eastern country.

But everyone is doomed to disappointment - because within ten years from now, the only thing that can make a lot of money in a large eastern country is online games.

If it weren't for this reason, Sen Xia would actually want to develop games like Phantom World or Heroes of the Three Kingdoms more than games like Bubble Hall.

In a large eastern country, the games "Phantom World" and "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms 2" are definitely very, very popular.

Which is more than the number of players who have played Pokémon and Stone Age or the number of players who have played Phantasm?

Well, it's hard to say, but Senxia can be pretty sure that the difference between the two numbers won't be huge.

But Phantom will never make more money than the other two games, which is also a given.

- There are too many pirates!

It's not just piracy,
