Chapter 343: A two-pronged approach
The most important thing about competitive games is the double overlap of playability and simplicity.
In other words, this thing should be simple and not low in playability.
In fact, these two conditions are actually contradictory when taken out, because generally speaking, the simpler the game, the less playable it is, because it will quickly become uninteresting because you are familiar with it.
So how to balance these two points is something that competitive gamers need to consider, otherwise it's like the previous "Skating", although the competitiveness is there, and it's easy to play, but it's because it's easy to play, so that this game is not interesting after playing.
RPGs, on the other hand, are basically a different kind of game, with a completely different concept from competitive games.
And there's a focus in the role-playing.
One is the plot!
The second is leisure!
The third is operation!
That's right, even role-playing games have operations.
Among them, the years of brushing the boss can be said to be very nostalgic.
Turn-based, boss-farming, systems, etc., these RPG-specific terms have not yet appeared. Even if there are role-playing games in helmet games, even role-playing games are still one of the most awesome genres.
But role-playing in headset games is completely different from PC.
In addition, because helmet games are all buyouts, the in-app purchase is relatively shallow, and the most intuitive of them is that in the role-playing games of helmet games, the system is very simple, for example, they don't even have the most basic combat methods, let alone an awesome economic system like "Fantasy Journey to the West".
Throughout the history of the game, "Fantasy Journey to the West" can leave a strong mark even in the history of world games, after Warcraft came out, many people got into Warcraft, and even ridiculed those who played fantasy, but these more than ten years have passed, and the fantasy is still so strong, and the economic system that has not collapsed for more than ten years has played an indelible role!
And the focus of the two games is different, "Fantasy" is easy to use, focusing on leisure and entertainment, "Warcraft" requires teamwork, and it is a bit demanding for operation.
In addition, although these two games cost money, if you really want to compare, then fantasy is really a game of local tyrants, but fantasy can spend money, but it can also make money, and it is not a matter of exchanging a weapon for a house back then.
This is also the reason why the Fantasy Journey to the West for Dahua can be in the top ten of the world game list.
This can be regarded as a real Dahua and a foreign country.
Of course, none of these things are important, because what Chen Ange wrote on it is not the so-called economic system and other things that can only reflect the power in the later stage.
But......
Chat system!
Business System!
Gang system!
Marriage system!
Magic weapon system!
When these items were first listed, most people's eyes showed confusion, but some people suddenly had a light in their eyes.
Chat!
Faction!
Magic weapon!
The others didn't understand for a while, but these three things, they understood at once.
Helmet games are mostly very replayable, and in order to concentrate on the game, even the option of teaming up was eliminated ten years ago, let alone chatting.
"Whether the game is good or not depends on whether it can retain people, and if you want to retain players, you must have things that attract players, playability, plot, these things will always get tired of it, so what won't get tired? Feelings, especially the kind of feelings that don't meet, this kind of vague and hazy feelings is the old rope that connects the player, there is a missing person in the game, you will be on the game for the first time after work, of course, this is not to say that the plot and playability are not important, on the contrary, the plot and playability are the most important things in a casual game, because this is the façade of the game, if your façade is not attractive, you still want to rely on the follow-up feelings to catch the player? After all, feelings are not something that can be cultivated in a day or two, emotional expert Xu Ling once said that human feelings are the most wonderful thing, but the transmission period of emotions is about a week! That is to say, a week can make you can't help but fall in love with someone!
Chen Ange was very talkative, as for what he said, everyone didn't hear anything like Xu Ling, an emotional expert, they just noticed the never-before-seen systems in Chen Ange's words.
"Get married, get married in the game?"
After Chen Ange finished talking about the marriage system, everyone was silent, and someone asked: "Will anyone get married in the game? And it costs money?"
Damn, it's only a few dollars to get married in real life, how can it be more expensive to get married in the game than outside?
"Well, yes, I think I should add a bride price and a dowry to it!"
All:......
This is, of course, a half-joke.
"We don't care how much it costs to get married in real life, but in the game, I'm sure someone definitely wants to get married more than in real life!"
"Human fantasy thinking has developed to the extreme from ancient times to the present, and the phrase "distance produces beauty" is not to say, when two people live together in real life, even if you don't want him to notice your shortcomings, he will notice, such as your makeup, you can get up earlier than him a day, but can you get up earlier than him all your life? So the life of two people is always stumbling. But getting married in the virtual world is different! In the virtual world, people will always show their excellent side, you won't know that the person on the other side of the network is calling your brother sweetly, maybe it's a big man with a big foot, or you don't know that the man on the other side of the network who calls your wife to kiss may be a 1.7 meter 7 and convex and backward black silk black long straight, but these are not important, the important thing is the other half that the player thinks of in his mind!"
Chen Ange once again talked about it, and remembered Zhou Chi when he said it.
When the two first met, Chen Ange just felt that Zhou Chi was a little melancholy, but after the deep contact, he knew why he was a homebody who stayed at home, he didn't like to talk to others, and he didn't like to talk nonsense, he lived completely in his own world.
Do you say he's pathetic?
That's not right, for him, meeting his fantasy wife in a quiet environment is probably the happiest thing, and his own fantasy wife, even the most beautiful girl in the world, should not be comparable.
So he's not actually pitiful, it's just a different way of life.
This is also why Chen Ange thought about persuading Zhou Chi before, but later dismissed this idea.
He wasn't sick, he was just a heretic, but he didn't affect others, so Chen Ange respected Zhou Chi.
But at the same time, he is a friend, as a married man, so he hopes that Zhou Chi can find a girlfriend, after all, this is the joy of husband and wife, the joy of humanity, if you don't taste it, wouldn't it be in vain.
The White Lotus sat in the corner and listened to Chen Ange's so-called convex and backward curls, black and straight, and by the way, he also compared his figure, which was quite in line with him.
Of course, what she heard the most was Chen Ange's understanding of casual games.
Playability and story are just the stepping stones of this game, and those various systems are the essence that really attracts players.
"In this way, it's so bloated!"
The things Chen Ange said couldn't be made with just one mouth.
Chen Ange glanced at Song Jie, and then kept typing on the keyboard, and soon, a simple frame appeared.
"These systems are naturally going to be taken out little by little, but before that, we have to take the lead in making the game, this is the prototype of the game, Song Jie, Yang Yang's "Fantasy Journey to the West" project, I will hand it over to the two of you!"
Chen Ange waved his hand and said to the two who wanted to do casual games before.
Song Jie and Yang Yang were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of joy, but they hesitated again and looked at Zhang Yang.
In fact, Chen Ange suddenly appeared, and everyone was puzzled, and suddenly another game was taken out.
What is this?
"This is Bai Dong's husband, Mr. Chen!"
Zhang Yang got up and made an introduction.
White Lotus's husband?
The people here basically know that White Lotus is married, and some people even know that White Lotus's husband is the famous An Dao.
But this ......
This famous director is teaching everyone to make games?
A sense of absurdity arises spontaneously.
"PUBG and Counter-Strike are from Mr. Chen!"
Zhang Yang's sentence is like a thunderbolt from the sky.
Those who had been looking strange were instantly stunned.
After a while, Song Jie, who only felt that he had heard it wrong, couldn't help but ask: "Manager Zhang, what did you just say?"
Zhang Yang said: "I said that the foundation work of our lotus is from the hand of Mr. Chen!"
This time, everyone heard clearly, but it was one thing to hear clearly, and it was another thing to believe it or not.
Unbelief!
It's the first thought on everyone's mind, isn't that a joke?
"Are you Director An? The Director An who filmed "Journey to the West"?"
Someone asked cautiously, with a little excitement on his face.
Chen Ange nodded.
Get!
I don't believe it anymore.
What an executioner who doesn't want to be a driver is not a good writer!
It's all fart, the director, the screenwriter, they can understand, after all, it's in a circle, so it's actually normal for the director to be a part-time screenwriter, but ......
A director who flowed into the game and made "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is not?
The most important thing is that the foundation works of PC games are "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "Counter-Strike"!
To put it bluntly, these two games have driven an industry, and now Zhang Yang told them that the person who drove the industry turned out to be a director.
This is the same as the birth of a peerless master, shaking the past and the present, and finally, you tell me that this is a pig killer?
No more, believe it or not I'll hack you to death?
But......
Everyone looked at the words on the whiteboard......
Suddenly I was a little convinced.
Song Jie and Yang Yang were excited, if Chen Ange was really the producer of those two games, then this "Fantasy Journey to the West" ......
The more I think about it, the more excited I become.
Chen Ange didn't care, after saying "Fantasy Journey to the West", he brushed off the whiteboard, and then wrote four big characters on it!
League of Legends!
The others looked at Song Jie and Yang Yang with envy, although everyone still couldn't believe that Chen Ange was the producer of the first two works, but even if it was true, it would be a huge opportunity.
However, when everyone thought that today's discussion was about to end, Chen Ange turned around and wrote "League of Legends"!
This is......
"There's already a casual game, so let's talk about this new competitive game!"
Rumble!
Immediately, everyone's brains began to buzz.
This new competitive game?
it!
That is, there is another one?
Everyone reacted at once, and then looked at Chen Ange with excitement.
Chen Ange was not in a hurry, but made a phone call, and after a while, there was a knock on the door, and then a bearded foreigner walked in.
Follens, the husband of Zhou Lan, a classmate of Chen Ange's orphanage!
When Forance saw Chen Ange, he said hello with a smile, and then said hello to the others, and found a place to sit down.
"Forness, everyone should have heard of it, after all, it's a big boss!"
Chen Ange made a brief introduction.
The others were stunned.
Isn't that the creator of "Demon"?
Speaking of which, the game "Demon" was still popular for a lot of time four years ago, and even now, this game has a certain status in the entire Lotus.
However, "Magic" is produced by the Lotus Game Zhuguang Branch, although it is a company, but how could the people from Zhuguang come here?
After Forance took over "The Lord of the Rings", Chen Ange helped Forance a lot, especially in the game screen and character settings.
Chen Ange also played the game "Demon" after that, it's okay, but it's too simple, but it's not to blame Formans, after all, the PC games in this world have just started, and it's quite good that "Magic" can do this.
And this time I brought Forence over to let Forence help "League of Legends" as a architect.
"League of Legends, this is a battle game, players control hero battles, each hero has their own unique skills, players release skills by controlling heroes, kill enemy heroes, to achieve victory!"
Chen Ange simply drew a summoner canyon on the whiteboard!
Then he simply drew a hero!
Gallian!
Immediately, the four skills and passive were written out and introduced one by one.
For someone who already knows what League of Legends is like, Galen knows what it looks like when he thinks about it, but it's hard for these unknowns to understand.
Chen Ange is simply eloquent, and he basically picks simple words, so soon everyone knows what kind of hero Galen is.
"But...... Once the novelty of this game passes, it seems that it can't retain players!"
Someone asked suspiciously.
Chen Ange smiled: "That's why it's called the alliance, this kind of battle game wants to retain players, and it mainly relies on new heroes in the early stage, that is to say, you can't be lazy in the production of new heroes, two or three heroes a year are guaranteed, of course, you can slow down in the later stage, and then rely on feelings, this kind of battle game everyone doesn't pay attention to the plot, but that doesn't mean you don't have to write, of course, in addition to feelings, we Lotus has a biggest help!"
Zhang Yang said: "Professional arena?"
Chen Ange smiled: "That's right, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is not pulled into competition because of the high luck component, "Counter-Strike" is very competitive, and the viewing is also very good, but this kind of viewing is only for players, and even some people who have not been in contact with "Counter-Strike" for a long time want to understand a game It is more difficult, which is why the audience of professional games is rising slowly! Different, his ornamentation may not be as good as Counter-Strike in the eyes of players, but even if you don't play games, you can understand it more or less by watching one or two League of Legends games, this is the effect caused by the difference in simplicity, to put it bluntly, League of Legends' professional games can attract people who don't play games, but Counter-Strike can't attract people who don't play games!"
