Lighthouse Nation, Tornado Games, Inc.

The creator of the world-famous MOBA online game "Ragnarok".

The news of the "Puppeteer Alliance" on the Huaguo side was finally sent to them to consult their opinions.

After all, in the field of MOBA games, they are indeed more professional.

Skyfire Games now needs to know what the future holds for the game "League of Puppeteers" and whether it will threaten their position.

The current state of the Tomahawk game is indeed a bit difficult for them.

In the past, they had to deal with new games that were already on fire, and it was very simple to either buy or launch the same game to grab players. And now they have to face a new game that has not yet become popular, but it may become popular, and rashly acquire or launch the same model, what if the market does not recognize their new gameplay? Isn't it a game of tomahawks to hit the streets?

So before that, you need to judge whether the game is worth it or not.

The team of designers of Skyfire Games couldn't make a reference suggestion about this, or didn't dare to make a valid suggestion, so they finally found Tornado Games.

"Kate, have you played that Chinese game? How does it feel? Skyfire is waiting for us to reply. The team planner came out of the office and shouted at a subordinate.

Kate is indeed playing games right now, and playing games during working hours may sound a little incredible, but it is. As a game designer, it makes sense to play games.

Of course, she plays the latest version of her company's Ragnarok that has not yet been released.

Hearing her boss's words, she subconsciously glanced at the other designers at the next desk who were connecting with her.

An old fritter replied with a smile: "Boss, spare us, Huaguo's game...... Why bother, everyone is busy. ”

"Shut up your stinky mouth Sam, I bet five bucks, your computer's backend window must be open now. You're so busy testing the game while still watching videos! ”

It seems that he was told by his boss, and the old fritter smiled and buried his head in the test game.

The other team members were also surprised, and laughed and teased him.

"Boss,This game server is not in the lighthouse country.,Even if we install it, we can't log in.,And it's all Chinese.,I can't understand it without the Eagle version.。 How does this make us play? Kate said with a reason.

The main planner obviously didn't pay much attention to this matter, and turned a blind eye.

Sam, the old fritter sitting in the corner of the office, suddenly shuddered, breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of coffee and spoke again: "Boss, although I haven't experienced a game they sent, I did take the time to watch their trial experience and game video just now." ”

"Boss, we've taken the time to see it." The others shouted.

"How's this game?"

"The game mode is similar to ours, 5v5 battles, divided into three lanes, but a lot of modifications have been made. Or rather, castration, removing some of the mechanics in our game. For example, there is no fortress in this game, so they directly castrate the fun of attacking and defending the fortress. Sam said very seriously.

Kate added: "Boss, their map is very small, only one-sixteenth of ours, and there are so few places for players to play. Moreover, their map is flat, and I don't dare to say that the wild mountain range between the three army lines is called a mountain range, it can only be regarded as an earthen wall, and it cannot be climbed. There were no trees in it, only grass to hide, and there was very little to do. ”

"yes, sir, they're so castrated in this game that there's nothing. There are only four ways to get money in the game: kill creeps, kill heroes, kill monsters, and destroy defense buildings, which is too monotonous! It doesn't feel like a game played by adults, like a kindergarten kid's version. ”

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.

The map of "Puppeteer's Alliance" is far inferior to "Ragnarok" in terms of size and detail, and the two are compared together, if "Ragnarok" is a car, then "Puppeteer's Alliance" is a bumper car for children to play.

Especially in the stronghold, the Tornado team is clearly not optimistic about the changes in the League of Puppeteers.

Strongholds are very important in Ragnarok, first of all, economically, each fortress produces taxes at regular intervals, which are distributed according to the principle of 40% for the occupants and 15% for the rest of the party, which can be used to buy equipment, teleportation, and retinues.

The map in Ragnarok is very large, so there is a dedicated teleportation mechanic. This is not counted in the summoner's skills, and naturally there is no cooldown. All heroes can teleport themselves from one of their forts (bases) to another for a sum of money, saving them a lot of time on the road. And "Puppet Master Alliance" has removed the fortress, so naturally there are no such fixed teleportation points, but fortunately, their map is small enough, and it is not very tiring to walk slowly.

Another very important mechanic is the Follower. The creeps in "Puppet Division" can only be born from the base, and march all the way along the line to the place. And "Ragnarok" in addition to this troop mechanism, there is also an entourage. Each hero can hire up to twenty units of minions from the base or any fort (different types of soldiers have different units, e.g. the lowest level of regular melee soldiers has only one unit, and the most senior soldiers have five units), and these hired minions follow the hero's actions, can enter the jungle, and can also teleport together. There is no fortress in "Puppet Division", and there is no such mechanic, heroes and soldiers are completely separated, and there is no fun of leading soldiers to fight.

After removing the stronghold, Puppeteer Alliance players will not be able to get health packs from the stronghold, nor can they buy equipment from the stronghold, and everything will need to return to the base to do so.

The gameplay is too monotonous!

How could this castrated version of Ragnarok become popular?

The main planner listened to the jokes of the team members, and while also glancing at the information sent by Tianhuo Games, he shook his head with a smile.

"Okay, let's do it for now. You guys continue to test the new version, Sam, take care of the bugs of your new heroes! ”

"Understood, Chief, give me another week......"

"Three days!"

"Boss......" Sam pleaded with a sad face, the main planner had already gone back to the office to reply to the Skyfire game, so that they didn't have to worry too much, this kind of game couldn't be popular, and it couldn't threaten the dominance of "Ragnarok".

Don't bother them with this low-end game in the future.
