Chapter 316: Map Making

It's not a long official blog, it's a very simple announcement.

After the National Day, the Nebula Game Carnival will be held at the Jiangshi Sports Complex, and there will be the latest news of Nebula Games to bring to you, and the first official e-sports event of "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Warcraft" will also be held at the carnival, please pay attention to the official website of Nebula Games for specific content. ’

As soon as the news spread, the players were shocked in an instant.

Nebulas Games is going to hold a carnival?

Players who heard the news were stunned for a moment.

Game companies hold carnivals, which is not unfamiliar, such as NetDragon, Tenghua and Phoenix, the top three game companies, not to mention, the second-tier game companies such as Jiasheng also have their own game carnivals every year.

But when I heard the news that Nebula Games said that they were also going to hold a game carnival, I still had a feeling of disbelief.

But then all the players thought about the lineup of Nebula Game Development, and suddenly felt that this was a reasonable thing.

"Resident Evil", "Metal Gear Solid", "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", plus the just-released "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Warcraft", as well as the name but invisible content of "Assassin's Creed", none of the games under Nebula Games are simple.

Coupled with the mini-games of Nebula Games in the past, such as "The Combination of Isaac", "Octopath Traveler" and "Escape", it can be said that Nebula Games has this background to hold a carnival.

However, what is more interesting to players is what news Nebula Games has to bring to everyone.

Countless people are engaged in heated discussions on the Internet.

"Is there a brother who will form a team together after the National Day!?"

"Nebula Games' first carnival, I have to go on leave!"

"I'm a little afraid of scalpers, the first carnival of Nebula Games, this ticket can't be fried to the sky?"

"+1, if the ticket is too expensive, I feel like I can only watch the live broadcast of white prostitution."

"So what everyone is most concerned about shouldn't be, what news will be announced about Nebula Games? New game Assassin's Creed!? ”

"Don't mention it, Nebula Games knows how to draw a pie, it was obviously the news of "Assassin's Creed" that came out first, but it turned out that the finished game of "Warcraft" came out first."

"+1, although there is nothing to say about the quality of the game of Warcraft, I really can't play RTS, I know all kinds of details of the operation, but I just can't operate it with my hands."

Players are discussing the news of Nebulas Games' upcoming carnival in major forums and communities, and on the other hand, Tenghua and Jiasheng are also starting to promote their new games.

Nebula Games announced that it will hold a carnival, and even if a new game is announced, it will take some time to warm up the publicity with the release date.

Obviously, the October schedule will definitely not be able to collide with Nebula Games, and when the time comes, it will be a long time before "Warcraft" is launched, and its popularity will slowly recover.

In October, this battlefield was Tenghua and Jiasheng.

Players are paying more attention to the Nebula Game Carnival and the news they will be announcing when the time comes.

The game industry is more concerned about Tenghua and Jiasheng's triple-A showdown.

Yang Chen is working with the team on the map editor of Warcraft.

Compared with Nebula Games' previous games, the popularity of "Warcraft" has decreased so quickly, and the main reason is that the RTS genre is too difficult for most players to get started.

Some players often say something to others when they play their favorite games, but as long as you experience it for an hour or two and get started, you will be able to experience the fun of this game.

But what is overlooked is that others may not be able to get started at all, or may not be interested.

RTS games are one such genre.

Even if e-sports events are launched in the future, there is still a limit to its development.

First of all, the viewing degree of RTS is not as high as that of FPS, and secondly, the difficulty of RTS is not as good as that of FPS.

And RTS technology can't work, no matter how lucky you are, you can't do anyone else.

So how to make "Warcraft" can be promoted on a large scale, Yang Chen is mainly focusing on the map editor.

Yang Chen has completed the corresponding modes and numerical aspects of the official maps, including the material library that comes with the map editor.

"How far has the map been completed?" In the project team, Yang Chen said to Wang Ye.

"'Dynasty Warriors', 'DOTA', 'The Catastrophe of the Western World', 'Yu-Gi-Oh', and 'Guarding the Sword Pavilion' have all been completed, and the model materials have also been completed, and the rest is the map BUG test." Wang Ye said towards Yang Chen.

None of this content was made by him, it was all outsourced, after all, these RPG maps were technically not very difficult for them.

After all, all the mechanics are built on the mechanics of Warcraft itself, such as the added map code, model import, and event production, which can all be done through the map editor.

Regarding the maps in "Warcraft", Yang Chen is not ready to make too much, mainly when the map editor is announced in the early stage, so that players can know what kind of map the map editor can make.

Among them, "Dynasty Warriors" and "DOTA" are competitive games, the former such as the name of the map are the Three Kingdoms generals, the latter is biased towards the magic class, it is considered to give different players two choices, and the gameplay is similar, the three roads 5V5 duel Each player chooses a hero, and makes money to buy equipment by replenishing troops, upgrades and knocks down the opponent's hometown to win.

The 'Catastrophe of the Western World' is similar to a traditional RPG game, where the player plays a hero to trigger the plot, then farms monsters and equips them to upgrade the dungeon, and finally kills the final boss.

The 'Guarding Sword Pavilion' is almost the same, except that it has changed from an active attack to a stronghold.

As for the popularity of 'Yu-Gi-Oh's own IP, it is not called rubbing, and the main gameplay is not playing cards, but tower defense.

Draw the monsters, magic cards, and trap cards in the 'Yu-Gi-Oh' to block the monster's attack.

Although the content elements are very simple, they have a variety of different ways to play.

There are not many problems in the design and development of the map, the key is the management of the map mod community, which is a key factor.

As for whether to give the map maker what kind of return, Yang Chen discussed a lot with Xu Yu.

That is, just like "BioShock", for some particularly good maps, you can add corresponding cosmetic appearance props, which their Nebula game department will also provide some help to mod makers, of course, this cannot affect the game value.

In addition, 50 maps will be selected every month, and a subsidy of 5,000 will be given to each maker.

Of course, in terms of the map review of "Warcraft", Nebula Games also has to conduct a special community review, similar to what to enter the chat group password, and then you can get hidden characters, or what equipment code, this kind of small operation is not allowed.

Give players a relatively pure game environment, and as long as the map is done well and can attract players, Nebula Games will naturally find a way to generate revenue for you, even if players don't buy it, they will pay you.

But if you want to play tricks outside of this board, such as adding a group to buy hidden characters, and sending you a code to bind the map to your account, then I'm sorry, don't make a map here.
