The game launched by Kingsoft is not the online version of "Swordsman Love", because this time is purely testing the waters and practice, and no one knows what kind of market feedback will be received.

At the compulsion of Song Weiyang, Xishanju Studio began a journey of "imitation".

Zou Tao, the leader of the online game project team, has a lot of personality, Song Weiyang asked him to imitate the most popular online game in Asia, "Paradise", but after he became familiar with this game, he directly took the whole team to play "Diablo".

Why?

Because "Paradise" at this time, as well as "Legend" in the future, are all imitating "Diablo", but turning the stand-alone machine into an online game. There are so many games of this kind that they are collectively known as "Diablo too", or "Diablo-like" games.

Nonsense, Zou Tao stubbornly changed the background to the Eastern World, the warrior became a swordsman, the ronin became an archer, the mage became a Taoist, and the game was named "Demon God War".

Song Weiyang took Lin Zhuoyun and Doudou to download the game and register an account together.

"Uncle, auntie, what role do you choose?" asked Doudou.

Lin Zhuoyun said: "Whatever." ”

Song Weiyang said: "There are exactly three professions, one for each of us, I'll choose a swordsman." ”

Doudou chose the archer, and Lin Zhuoyun could only choose a female Taoist.

The three of them quickly enter the game, and all turn out to have different spawn points.

Doudou used the mouse to control the little man to run, and asked, "Where are you?"

"I don't know. Lin Zhuoyun said.

Song Weiyang glanced at the minimap and said, "I'm on Sunset Island." ”

Doudou said: "I am in Guojia Village. ”

Lin Zhuoyun doesn't usually play games, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are the place names displayed?"

Song Weiyang said: "The small map in the upper right corner." ”

Lin Zhuoyun said: "Then I am in White Horse Town." ”

Song Weiyang looked carefully at the coordinates of the three of them and said, "Zhuo Yun is in the middle, Doudou, you run with me, we will meet in White Horse Town." ”

A minute later, Doudou exclaimed, "Ah, I was bitten to death by a wolf!"

Song Weiyang was also bitten by a poisonous snake and only had a trace of blood left, and said depressedly: "Why doesn't this game have novice equipment? ”

After dying several times, the three finally met in Whitehorse.

Song Weiyang passed by a butcher shop, clicked on the NPC casually, and the butcher said: "The gray wolf in the east of the town is full of disasters, and it has bitten and injured many people. As long as you kill 10 gray wolves and bring back their meat, I will give you a 'knife of relief' as a reward." ”

This is the game task.,The problem is that Lao Tzu is only level 1.,Gray wolf level 3.,Now there's no equipment.,I'm going to bite the wolf to death with my teeth?

"Wow, dear, there's a catcher here. Lin Zhuoyun said suddenly.

Song Weiyang and Doudou hurriedly ran to find the catcher, but only sent a wooden stick. They were not in a hurry to get out of the city, but first went to find the NPCs, and easily received three missions below level 5.

"Dog, dog, go out of the city and kill the scarecrow!" Song Weiyang shouted.

This game world probably belongs to the plane of high martial arts and low demons. The magic star descended from the sky, causing a catastrophe in the world, not only the animals and plants were demonized, but even the scarecrow became a sperm.

The scarecrow belongs to the level 1 monster, and the three of them smashed it with a stick, killing more than 20 scarecrows, and finally collected the task items, and returned to the city to get straw sandals from the tailor.

By this time, Song Weiyang had already discovered the shortcomings of the game:

First, the equipment of the newbie is not clear. If you want to attract those novice players, just send the novice equipment in the package, there is no need to get a wooden stick at the catch there first, and then use the wooden stick to fight monsters to do tasks and get rewards such as clothes and shoes. In the eyes of people who often play games, this may be just a very simple process, but most netizens in the country have never touched it!

Second, the explosion rate of equipment is too low. The three of them killed more than 20 scarecrows, but they only exploded a bottle of small blue medicine and a number of production materials, and there was no sense of surprise at all.

Third, the equipment crafting system is too complicated. Judging from the production materials that the scarecrow broke out, many high-level equipment in the future still need to be made by the players themselves.

When Song Weiyang asked Zou Tao to make a game, he clearly put forward the requirement of "simple and rude". But the simplicity and rudeness in Zou Tao's eyes are obviously different from Song Weiyang's understanding, the former is from Lao Bai's point of view, while the latter is from Xiao Bai's point of view.

Historically, how popular has Shanda Games' Legend been?

At that time, the number of players of "Legend" was more than the official number of Chinese netizens, which is equivalent to every Chinese who went online playing "Legend". Of course, this is not possible, and the reason for this is that Legend attracts a large number of passers-by.

It's a real passerby player, and I've never touched a computer before!

There may be someone in the class playing "Legend", so a few friends go to an Internet café to watch him play games, and they are all pulled into the pit every minute. In the same way, the class can be changed to a company, a unit, or a neighborhood.

There are many novice players who touch the computer for the first time, who register an account in an Internet café in a daze, and then take the included novice equipment, and go out of the novice village to fight monsters without caring about anything. One cut is all night, and the characters have been upgraded to level 10, and they don't know that they can go back to the city to buy things, let alone go back to the city to buy books and learn skills.

Legends is zero difficulty to get started!

You know, at this time, no matter which country the game is, its makers have a bad taste. There are no game prompts.,The map is done like a maze.,Don't even think about automatic pathfinding or anything.,Xiaobai who is in contact with the game for the first time just wants to die.。

And what about the game novices?

"Shilipo Sword God" understands that there are many such people, and they don't know that they can talk to NPCs.

After two hours of fierce fighting, Song Weiyang and the three of them all rose to level 10. It stands to reason that it's time to charge the card, but in order to promote the game, "Immortal and Demon Wars" is free for the first month of its launch.

Leveling up after level 10 is difficult, and doing quests doesn't reward experience. This kind of setting is normal, and the point card game is to upgrade the difficulty and extend the player's online time.

"Wow, I burst out with a necklace, it's so beautiful!" Lin Zhuoyun exclaimed.

Song Weiyang leaned over to take a look, but it was the most rubbish necklace, the explosion rate of this broken game was too pitiful, and only one piece of finished equipment was exploded in two hours. The other explosions are all materials, and they need to be made by themselves, which is simply dissuading novice players.

Song Weiyang ran to the martial arts hall and learned his first swordsman skill. Doudou and Lin Zhuoyun also went to Orion and Lao Dao respectively to learn the skills of archers and Taoists.

There is no hint at this, but luckily they have already spoken to all the NPCs, otherwise they wouldn't know who to ask to learn the skill. "Legend" is not so troublesome, it is directly a bookstore, and if you want to learn skills, you can go to the bookstore to buy skill books.

"Look at the thunder in my palm!" Lin Zhuoyun was very happy to play with her skills.

Song Weiyang smiled and asked, "Is this game fun?"

Lin Zhuoyun nodded and said, "It's fun, it's much more interesting than playing arcades." ”

Song Weiyang smiled and said no more.

Lin Zhuoyun belongs to that kind of little white player, if it weren't for Song Weiyang with her, she wouldn't even know where to get a novice stick. I don't know that after level 10, I can go to a higher-level map, and it is estimated that I will become the "Sword God of White Horse Town" of this game, and I can play it for a few months in the novice village.
