Chapter 354: "Famine"
As Ye Le expected, "Dungeons & Warriors" gained a large number of arcade game lovers in the first month of the open beta, and many people abandoned the "arcade hall" and threw themselves into the arms of DNF. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Why?
Dungeons & Warriors has a lot of advantages, the first of which is that it is a PC game, which does not require players to go out of their way to the arcade hall to play such a side-scrolling game.
Second, it's a free-to-play game, and although it's a big hole in the cost of props, it's up to the player to spend it or not. At least players can save money that would otherwise be used to buy in-game currency.
Thirdly, it is an online game, not only can it be "auto-saved", but the characteristics of the online game allow players to play the game without feeling lonely.
Fourth, the game is richer in content and the worldview of the game is more ambitious.
Fifth, the game's graphics are more refined, and at the same time, it inherits the refreshing sense of attack like arcade games, and players use characters with a variety of skills, while also being able to choose their own growth direction.
It is worth mentioning that the skills of "Dungeons and Warriors" are indeed cooler than games like "Dinosaur Kombat" and "Three Kingdoms.........
Of course, there are many reasons why players choose it, but everything is developing in the direction that Ye Le expects, and this is the most important thing.
If Aurora Games wants to continue to develop and endure for a long time, it must continue to improve itself and take a long-term view.
Just like the 3,700-square-meter data center next to the new headquarters building of Aurora Games, many people may now think that it is not worth spending so much money on a data center or even buying a supercomputer, but Ye Le dares to guarantee that they will definitely come in handy in the future.
It's just that Ye Le really doesn't know whether the game "Resident Evil: Survival" can be re-released this year or next year, if it can, then next year, maybe Aurora Games will release such a multiplayer online sandbox masterpiece in addition to releasing a stand-alone game.
Ye Le really wants to take a break, now there are enough online games in Aurora games on the market, and they are all the kind that are loved by players.
However, each game did not reach its potential, so the decision to make a single-player game next year was also made for this reason.
Next year, we will still blindly release new online games, so it will definitely be Aurora Games itself that will suffer in the end.
Ye Le has now asked the SCG gang in advance to start redividing the single-player game area, and the redivided single-player games will be divided into free single-player games and paid single-player games.
In the middle of this month, the second studio of the Kuyou game studio group was tasked with producing a stand-alone game called "Don't Starve".
That's right, this "Don't Starve" is the famous action-adventure survival game in the previous life, the reason why Ye Le chose to make it first is because the cost of making it is small and the time is short, you can make it first and then throw it into the stand-alone game area of SGP - paid stand-alone to test the water.
To put it bluntly, the paid single machine is the implementation of the buyout system, but it is only limited to genuine games, and no one can say whether there will be pirated versions and cracked versions after the game is released.
Don't Starve is a breath of fresh air in the growing demand for realism on the planet.
The game is a grotesque American style of painting, and at first glance you know that it must have an alternative setting, thick lines, and exaggerated narratives, and it may be difficult for some players to accept such a game, but there will definitely be another part of the players who feel that they are eye-catching.
The main content of this game boils down to two simple words - survival.
The game tells the story of a scientist who is teleported to a mysterious world by a demon, and players will survive in this other world and escape from this other world.
Will another world be as beautiful as in anime novels?
Of course not, when Ye Le played this game for the first time in his previous life, he knew that it was a gloomy and heavy game just by seeing the name and illustration of the game.
He must use his wits to survive in the brutal wilderness, because in Don't Starve, players must use the natural resources of another world to survive and defend themselves against the threat of various otherworldly creatures.
The ultimate goal of the game is to stay alive, and the longer you live, the higher your final score.
If you ask Don't Starve players, what kind of game is it? They probably can't find any adjectives that are too appropriate to describe it, but they will shake your shoulder and say, "It's a masterpiece! Go play!"
Before "Don't Starve", this kind of wilderness survival and adventure game, whether it is Japanese or European and American style, the inspiration of survival games has been used by others.
So the game "Don't Starve" has successfully played different tricks, and it has finally entered the eyes of discerning PC players.
And the PC version of the work has different evaluations in the eyes of different people, some people think that the process is fun, some people think that the consequence of death is too boring, some people lose interest in playing the more advanced, and some people become masters of survival in groping......
In short, this character running around in a barren land is actually the embodiment of the player himself.
Although there are also open-world survival games like Minecraft and Terraria on iOS on Earth.
But "Don't Starve" is still different from them after all, corresponding to the word "famine" in the title of the game, it is not as relaxed and comfortable as the first two games, and there is leisure to build a big villa for yourself, get yourself a towering guide tower or something, if you want to mine, you can mine, and if you want to raise pigs, you can raise pigs.
Ye Le can say very responsibly: I'm sorry, in "Famine", even raising a pig has to pay a heavy price.
If someone wants to ask what the essence of "Don't Starve" is, then Ye Le can only say that the essence of "Don't Starve" is death, because that's his opinion.
Don't Starve is a game where you always remember that you can't come back to life after you die, you have to start all over again.
Failure is the mother of success, and after falling to the ground countless times and enjoying all kinds of strange death methods, you will gradually gain experience and live longer each time.
Death in the game is painful, very painful, because after dying once, all progress and all items are reset to zero.
You have to start with the hard life of picking up branches on the first day, and every time you accidentally die, you have to repeat the initial work for more than 30 minutes, which is really hard.
Even if there is a memory altar, there is no use for such a thing.
The characters in the original version are foreigners both in terms of image and character name, and of course, Ye Le will replace them with Chinese characters as always.
