"Yes yes, I define this game as an SLG game that incorporates RTS gameplay. Players are constantly recruiting, replenishing their forces, and then plunging into battle. The travel between cities and cities is almost negligible in seconds. In battle, there is no problem with three restraints to form a cycle, which can be a cycle of restraint with attack, defense, and advance as the core, or a cycle of restraint with cavalry, archers, and spearmen as the core. ”

Zhuge Yuan still has a black question mark face, and he can't understand this approach at all, "After pushing, why continue to play?" After pushing the big map in an hour or two, what else can you do? ”

"I can't finish pushing." Liu Neng laughed, "This is the disgusting thing about the design of this web game......"

"You said it was disgusting, what the are you doing?"

"No way, this thing, just imagining it makes me think it's very profitable."

"Rotten my reputation!" Zhuge Yuan still wanted a good reputation, but apparently Liu Neng kept pushing him into the dark abyss.

"Actually, it's not that disgusting, when the player pushes to the last few cities of the other camps, a large number of NPC armies will appear in the enemy camp, pushing them back, that's the design!" Liu Neng explained.

"That's a piece of, it's almost over, and you beat me back to my original form."

"You can't say that, this game, in fact, is very interesting, it can be said that it is the original sand table gameplay, not to finally occupy the overall situation as the final result, but the long-term pursuit, is to kill the enemy, is the training of generals. Do you think, if you can carry the tripod alone, from almost destroying the country in one breath, and pushing it to the main city of others, although it is going to be beaten back in the end, but that hearty and refreshing feeling, think about it, in fact, it is quite a sense of accomplishment, isn't it? Liu Neng tricked him into discovering the fun of this game.

Zhuge Yuan said that he had a headache, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this page game was very pitiful, but Liu Neng said it with great interest, as if this was a very awesome and fun game.

"This is a meaningless, pure garbage game to kill time, and it really ruins its reputation when it is made!" Zhuge Yuan is still struggling.

"Isn't the point of gaming most of the time just to kill time? It's not meaningless to be able to get pleasure out of it, right? Liu Neng tried to "straighten" his attitude.

"Are you up to this?"

"Do it, just do this broken game, give you three months, do it well."

"What's the name of the game?"

"'Conquering the City'," Liu Neng said.

"Now let's talk about the other two games! Those two games, you can't be so, right? Zhuge Yuan said weakly that he was already regretting entering the Blue Star Studio.

"Look at you, there's a problem with your attitude, don't look like this!" Liu Neng's treacherous plan succeeded, "The other two are good games in the traditional sense that you think are good. As you said before, the theme of the Three Kingdoms can not only be SLG, but also fighting games. But fighting games are not interesting, do you want to PK each other between the generals of the Three Kingdoms and the generals? The one who wins wins the battle? That's definitely not going to work! ”

“So？”

"So how interesting it is to make a lawn mowing game, the military general kills the small soldiers in the chaos, and then goes to PK with the military general. Take out all the famous battles in history, make a campaign copy, choose a general you are good at or like, play it, and then go to clear the dungeon. The whole content of the game is these campaign dungeons......"

"It seems a little bit interesting, dry battles are quite boring, but once you put the battles in the campaign dungeon, it will be very immersive." Zhuge Yuan agreed.

"That's right! Each campaign will set some goals, and completing them will have a series of rewards to train generals. At first, just open a few of the most common generals, and complete some special dungeons or complete the game week, you can unlock new generals, and then come to one side of the dungeon, which is a new experience. There are about 30 hours in a week; But if you want to experience the whole game and try it out for every general, the whole process will take hundreds of hours. ”

Zhuge Yuan slowly became interested, "The idea of this game is very interesting, and it's much more fun than the broken page game you just said." The game of mowing can make players have a hearty feeling. The difficulty of the later dungeons will increase a little bit, which will keep the player in a great flow experience; The coolness of mowing the grass of the minions contrasts with the difficulty of the general's battle, coupled with the combo system and the full 3D gameplay, the overall game experience will be really good. ”

"When did you start studying flow?" Liu Neng suddenly asked curiously, he talked about this word at last year's Feiliu Creative Entertainment Conference, but at that time, he just mentioned it casually, thinking that no one would pay attention to this word. But I didn't expect that here, Zhuge Yuan would also talk about this.

He was a little embarrassed, "When you said it last year, I looked for a lot of books and researched them. I find this term quite interesting, to be precise, this psychological trait is very interesting, and once the player enters the so-called flow experience, it is a wonderful gaming experience. I think most games can actually apply this theory, and try to add this experience to the design thinking when designing......"

Liu Neng pinched his chin, "Actually, it's not necessarily all good." For game designers, it's good, naturally; But on a macro level, this kind of flow experience is addictive, and I personally believe that the addictive nature of the game is caused by the excessive abuse of the so-called flow experience. You have to be wary of this, don't say flow once you design a game. ”

"But......" Zhuge Yuan stopped talking, but he didn't expect this to be something on another level.

"But, it's not that exaggerated, I just want to give you a heads-up. There are many ways to avoid game addiction, which is not in our consideration for the time being, and doing a good game is the right way. Liu Neng was afraid that Zhuge Yuan would be frightened, so he hurriedly comforted.

"You've upset my mind again." Zhuge said dissatisfiedly.

"Let's continue to talk about games. In terms of design, this game mainly has three pieces of content, one is the basic design, including the image of soldiers and generals, actions, AI, etc.; The second is the design of more than a dozen generals, each of which needs to have its own characteristics, skill design, combo design, and more detailed copywriting design, sound design, etc.; The third is the design of the dungeon, the placement of buildings and props in the dungeon, the design of creeps and generals in the dungeon, and the difficulty design. ”

Zhuge nodded while listening, "It seems that the amount of content is indeed very large, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to grind slowly." ”
