Shen Qiu spent the morning writing out the setting and planning of the game Counter-Strike, and he sent this document to Lao. Although he has a rebellious ability like the Great Memory Technique, there is still some work to be done.

In the afternoon, Dong Wei came. Shen Qiu met this old-timer in the imperial game world.

In his thirties, he is more like a programmer ape than the boss of Nanshan Ju.

"Mr. Dong, I'm a loyal player of the Legend of the Sword Immortal, I didn't expect to meet its developer today." As soon as they met, Shen Qiu released his kindness.

"I have long heard Li Xian say that the boss of Huaxia Games is young, but I didn't expect it to be so young. Boss Shen, seeing your appearance, I feel like I'm already an old man. ”

"Haha, how could it be? Mr. Dong is in his thirties and is in the prime of life, how can he be old? Let's go to my office and talk. Shen Qiu let Dong Wei into his office, and Li Xian accompanied him.

"Boss Shen, I'm here to learn from Huaxia Games this time." Sitting on the chair, Dong Wei did not hide his intentions, and said directly: "The Legend of Blood is very popular now, but to be honest, I don't understand." The five reviewers of our company's game played Bloody Legends, and they all thought it was fun, but none of them could clearly say what was fun about this game. ”

Dong Wei looked sincere when he spoke, and he didn't despise Shen Qiu because of his age. Nor was he proud of his previous achievements, the elite of the imperial game industry was like a student asking Shen Qiu, who was more than ten years younger than him, asking questions.

Seeing Dong Wei's attitude, Shen Qiu sighed in his heart: "No wonder Dong Wei will succeed, he can put down his face and sincerely ask himself for advice." Not many people in the empire gaming world have been able to do it with this diǎn alone. ”

Come to think of it. Shen Qiu didn't hide it either. said directly: "Brother Dong, you are older than me, and you are an old-timer in the game industry, you don't mind if I call you Brother Dong, right?" ”

Dong Wei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't mind, don't mind." It's an honor to have such a little brother as you. ”

"Bloody Legend has been popular lately, and I know everyone is looking into the reason for the popularity of this game. I also know that various game companies in the empire have let their own game reviewers play ≮∠dǐng≮∠diǎn≮∠小≮∠ said, .●.∽os_(); It's legendary. What are the conclusions that everyone has come to after playing? ”

Without waiting for Dong Wei to speak, Shen Qiu continued: "After everyone has tried the legend. I'm afraid to conclude that this online game has rough graphics and simple and crude gameplay, and it is completely a kimchi game! Saying this, Shen Qiu stared at Dong Wei and asked, "Brother Dong, am I right?" ”

Dong Wei was not embarrassed, and admitted directly: "That's right." Before I came, I also communicated with the heads of other game companies, and everyone agreed that there was nothing new about the legend, both in terms of graphics and gameplay. It can even be said that there is diǎn bad. ”

Although Shen Qiu hired an art studio at a high price when developing the legend, it was compared to other games in the empire. It's still a little rough. However, if Dong Wei and they had played the legend of the previous time and space. You will find two versions of the legend, and the one developed by Shen Qiu has been upgraded by more than one grade in terms of pictures and details.

"The graphics are rough, there is no huge background setting, and there is no complete mission system, why is the legend so popular?" Shen Qiu asked the question himself.

Dong Wei looked at him with a curious face, and said, "This is what I can't figure out, and I ask Brother Shen for advice." ”

Shen Qiu shook his head and said, "Brother Dong, don't dare to give advice. I can't pinpoint the direct reason for the popularity of Legends, but I can share with you some of the core ideas that led to the planning of Legends online. ”

Dong Wei put on a look of deferencing.

Shen Qiu continued: "The exquisite graphics, the huge background, and the perfect mission system are not the core of this game. This online game, when I was planning, there were only three of them. ”

Shen Qiu stretched out a handful of fingers and said, "First, the simple and crude operating system makes it extremely easy for players to get started. There is basically no mission system in the whole game, and players level up completely by cutting monsters to gain experience. You could say that this kind of gameplay is boring, but from another point of view, this kind of gameplay is also very free. ”

"The second diǎn is hot blood, and to put it bluntly, diǎn is stimulus. Players fighting bosses and exploding equipment are exciting, and players P each other is exciting. There are also guilds competing for Shabak City, and large-scale P is also exciting. Killing monsters and bursting out of the best equipment is also exciting. ”

"In addition to the excitement, there is also blood. No brothers, no legends, is not just a slogan for our company. If you want to play the game Legends well, you'll have to form a faction. Let players experience the brotherhood that has been indifferent in the real society in the game. ”

"The third diǎn core is fairness. Bloody Legend is charged with a diǎn card, and there are no paid items. No matter who you are or what you do in the real world, in the game, the explosion rate of monsters bursting with the best equipment is the same. Emperor Xi à and Imperial Beggars fight the boss together, and the probability of getting the best equipment is the same for the two. ”

After saying this, Shen Qiu looked at Dong Wei and said quite sincerely: "Brother Dong, these are the three core ideas of my junior brother when I planned the game of Bloody Legend. I think that the reason why the legend is so popular now may not be separated from these three diǎn. ”

After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Dong Wei closed his eyes, obviously digesting and thinking in his head. Although it was rude for him to do this, Shen Qiu and Li Xianyi didn't mind. This is a pure game-maker zuò man, and his love for games goes beyond a qiē.

After a while, Dong Wei opened his eyes, he glanced at Shen Qiu, and said, "Simple, rude, and direct. The Legend of Bloodshed has indeed taken these six words to the extreme. The simple, rough and direct gameplay, coupled with the three elements of excitement, blood and fairness, is indeed not accidental. ”

Worthy of being an old-timer in the imperial game industry, this comprehension ability is definitely not boasted. After a little thought, Dong Wei understood the reason for the popularity of the game Legend of Blood. After understanding the reason, he admired Shen Qiu even more.

Simple, crude and direct, these six words look easy, but they are difficult to do. And it is even more difficult to integrate such a core idea into the game.

The gameplay of the legend is simple, but this game is not simple. There is a diǎn awkward mouth in this statement, but what is understood is understood, and those who do not understand will never understand.

"The road is simple, this is really true." Dong Wei sighed with emotion, and asked: "Brother Shen, should online games be like legends, following the principle of simplicity, rudeness and directness?" ”

"Brother Dong, I don't think so." Shen Qiu shook his head, he thought of another game in the last time and space, 'World of Warcraft', which was popular all over the world.

It's a game that takes all the details to the extreme, with a huge game history, a complicated mission upgrade system, a perfect dungeon system, and battlefields, pets, mounts, and flights. All the details have been meticulously crafted by Blizzard.

And the game life of World of Warcraft is also surprisingly long, from the open beta in 2005 to 2016 before Shen Qiu's crossing, a full eleven years of gameplay.

Although Shen Qiu traveled to the Empire, he estimated that World of Warcraft would continue. It's no problem to drag it out for another three or four years.

"It seems that Blizzard started developing World of Warcraft around 2001, right? I don't know if they have started to set up a project in this time and space. ”

Suppressing the messy thoughts in his heart, Shen Qiu answered Dong Wei's question: "Brother Dong, the excellence of each game is different. What we need to do is to amplify the excellence of each game under the premise of fairness and fun, until it reaches its limit. (To be continued.) )
