Chapter 189: Face Yourself

Regarding the discussion of "Red Alert", there are various discussions in the outside world, saying that this is not like a game taken out by Nebula Games.

But according to the data in the background, the game sold quite well, and the sales volume reached 1.7 million copies in five days without any publicity.

Moreover, in the official battle platform, the number of online users has always maintained about 600,000 online, and even in the lowest late night, there are still more than 100,000 online people.

Although the campaign plot mode of the game itself was deleted by Yang Chen, it is different from similar RTS games on the Internet, the fast pace of "Red Alert" itself, and the removal of the population setting, make this game more entertaining than competitive.

The most important thing in a competitive game is fairness, but for an entertainment-oriented game, fairness is equally important, but when the so-called fairness does not have as much impact on the conditions of victory and defeat as players think, the entertainment of the gameplay itself is a little higher.

And "Red Alert" is such a game for most players.

What is the main reason why RTS is now dominating the market with a smaller and smaller share?

That's almost all manufacturers, for this type of game, the definition is esports.

More exercises, micro exercises, and a very high threshold for getting started, so that the vast majority of novices are insensitive.

However, "Red Alert" is simple and crude, and the entire gameplay completely implements one of Yang Chen's previous ideas.

Cool and that's it!

Although players have said that the whole game does not have the grand world view of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and "Resident Evil", and the wonderful and compact plot, the level has dropped too seriously.

But the fun of the multiplayer mode, with even a novice, after a simple understanding, crazy collection of resources, and then build a barracks to explode a large number of soldiers on the map A past, looking at the vast number of people There is also an extremely strong sense of satisfaction.

This feeling is not like playing other RTS games, encountering a few units of the great god to give you a cross siege, and finally your own units are all killed, and the other unit is all remnant blood, giving you a feeling of why you are so vegetable.

In Red Alert, there is nowhere near the frustration of other RTS games.

Because of the extremely fast pace, it will make your itinerary very easy on the scale of the crowd.

Players, or humans, are more or less collectible.

It's like playing a game, you always want to complete all the trophy achievements, all the side quests, and all the awesome weapons in the game.

Regardless of whether these achievements and tasks will help you, or whether the weapons and props you take down will be used.

I just want it anyway.

The rioters in "Red Alert" also strengthened the player's collectivism.

In the office of Nebula Games, listening to Yang Chen's news of the game remake, Wang Ye and a group of people were wide-eyed.

"No, it's not...... Mr. Yang, why remake? The future of the game is very good! We're also preparing to introduce new nation factions and new classes to further enhance the multiplayer experience. Hearing Yang Chen's words, Wang Ye and the others all looked at each other and were a little confused.

And Yang Chen himself was stunned, the prospect is very good?

Isn't it crazy to be scolded by the players?

Looking at the number of players in the background online, Yang Chen was a little confused.

Does this player like the game or not?

Do you want to say you like it? The player rating of the game Starry Sky is true.

It's still stuck at 7 points.

But if you want to say that you don't like it, then in the absence of publicity, the increase in sales is quite happy.

It can be understood as the cheap price, the word-of-mouth effect before the Nebula game.

However, the number of people you are online makes Yang Chen a little confused.

After being persuaded by Wang Yaliang, Yang Chen, who had learned the hard way, had decided to remake the game, but at this time, Wang Ye told him that the game was not as bad as he thought?

Although the word-of-mouth score is not very good, the number of online is not not small.

"In fact, there are many players who have given us positive reviews, and the multiplayer mode has given us quite high evaluations, and the main players are dissatisfied with it, or we are in the game, except for playing the computer, there is no other single-player mode." Wang Ye said to Yang Chen: "In addition, we have just acquired Galaxy Network, and we feel that someone is following us, and this is also the main place where we are attacked by bad reviews." ”

Leaving the project room, Yang Chen, who returned to his office, was a little dizzy.

So what exactly is this game going to be remade? Or do you want to add new content?

Yang Chen had been thinking about this problem all morning, until Xu Yu returned to the office with the materials completed by Lin Jiayi and talked to Yang Chen in person.

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Xu Yu paused: "I don't know about games, Mr. Yang, just listen to it, in fact, I have always felt that games are commodities, and commodities will have a target targeting group, just like health care products, why are most of the people who buy them in their fifties and sixties?" How few young people will buy it? ”

"Because health care products are clearly positioned, his target group is the elderly who are worried about physical problems and have reached this age!"

"Games are the same, FS-type games, RG-type games, action games, and even otome games and harem games, all have clear goals with different positioning, and Mr. Yang's positioning goal of our Nebula game is boutique."

"It's not that every game has to be a triple-A masterpiece, but at least it has to be good enough. And the problem with the new game arises at this point, if Mr. Yang made it clear at the beginning that this will be an entertainment game with a multiplayer mode, then the result is completely different. ”

"But the reality is that there is no publicity, and many players even think that this will be a game like The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Resident Evil, or even Octopath Traveler, but the reality is not as good as their deadline, and they will lose their objectivity to judge this game."

Listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen couldn't help but fall silent, combining the game memories in this dream memory, as well as other memories.

recalled what Wang Yaliang told him before.

As well as Xu Yu's words just now, Yang Chen looked at the previous "Red Alert" document on the computer, and suddenly realized something.

When did you become arrogant?

Think that even if this game fails, it doesn't matter, lose the awe of a work, and feel that this game is not as good as other better RTS in the dream memory, and can be used as a work to practice with the team?

Probably since Octopath Traveler?

Starting with Escape?

It's like a person who suddenly becomes rich and becomes an upstart.

In terms of material money, he may not be as excessive as he becomes.

But what about game production?

For the first time, he began to face himself, and Yang Chen faced his shortcomings.
