Some time ago, when Liu Neng and Lin Haixia were discussing project planning, they once said that they planned to develop a DotA Imba version.

The so-called Imba version can be understood as an enhanced version, that is, in the battle, the skills of various summoners will be greatly strengthened, including the bonus of equipment, the improvement of the economic level in the battle, etc., of course, including the attack defense of creeps, and the attack strength of the tower.

Of course, this adjustment is not something that can be done simply by increasing the various values. That's.,It's like porting a PC game to a mobile phone.,It's definitely not a simple throw of the display on the phone.。 The operating habits of the computer and the mobile phone are completely different concepts, and the computer can release skills through shortcut keys, can it be done on the mobile phone? Definitely not, you can only release the skill by clicking the button. There are more than a dozen skills on the computer, and of course it is certainly possible on the mobile phone, but think about it, there are more than a dozen skill icons densely packed on the mobile phone screen, just imagine it, and the dense phobia is about to attack.

IMBA means abbreviation for "imbalance", a word that literally translates to "unbalanced". But it is certainly not appropriate to describe the British version of Dota as unbalanced.

Imbalance is absolute, equilibrium is relative.

In the IMBA version, on the whole, most summoners are in a relatively balanced state, and no hero is absolutely strong. However, the changes in various attributes will definitely cause this version of Dota to be less rigorous, and there will always be a few heroes who are stronger. This kind of thing also varies from person to person, and some people play well, and in the IMBA version, they can often carry the whole picture.

Unlike in a normal Dota, where players need to accumulate a little bit of advantage, in Dota IMBA, players tend to accumulate a lot of advantages in the first ten minutes or so. However, this advantage cannot be accumulated, and many times it will be because of an inadvertent breakthrough, resulting in a total loss, and the comprehensive accumulated advantage is directly broken.

To put it simply, this version of Dota has a low margin for error, and players can easily gain a big advantage, but this advantage is likely to be quickly recovered by a small mistake. Therefore, Dota IMBA is not suitable as a competitive map, only as an entertainment map. But on the whole, its ornamentation and playability still inherit the normal version of Dota.

The most important thing is that it is very difficult to learn, and even players who are not very good at playing it or even first-time players may get a lot of joy and accomplishment from it. This is in stark contrast to the higher difficulty of the Dota map, which will directly dissuade 70% of players who play the game for the first time because of its difficulty.

He didn't think about anything, so he went directly to Lin Haixia, arrived at the office, and sat opposite him, Lin Haixia was still confused, playing "Snake Wars", seeing him coming, he put down the mouse and looked up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"What's going on with the Dota IMBA project?"

"What's going on? We haven't started yet! I've been playing Dota lately, and I don't have time to make a new version. Lin Haixia said.

"Damn, you're too laid-back! Besides, aren't you playing with a snake? What nonsense is playing dota? Liu Neng was shocked and paused, "Let's discuss something!" ”

"You say, after all, you are the boss, and in principle I should listen to you."

Liu Neng was a little painful, "Don't be principled, let's be practical." Put the Dota Hero version on the process, and give you a month and a half to make the original version. ”

"Why?"

He scratched his head, "I bragged on the Internet that I was working on a new game right now and that I would be able to meet players soon......"

"So, there's actually no new game, so you're going to have to make a map to make up the numbers?" Lin Haixia asked curiously, "Is talking really more than a brain?" ”

"That can't be, I actually made a new game, and you're not playing it now, what a big battle to eat."

Lin Haixia sneered, "You launched this game, and it took a long time to blow the bull, and it is strange that the player does not rebel when he plays it." ”

"So I didn't come to play the IMBA version of the idea? Hurry up and develop, let's strive to launch the first version before New Year's Day, it's okay to have a little bug, just let players be Qa guinea pigs. Liu Neng said.

"You're the most stubborn boss I've ever seen, but it's not so easy to do, even if Dota makes it, it's not so simple to do IMBA, and it's harder to adjust and rebalance the values than to do it for the first time. A month and a half is definitely not enough! ”

"Then I'm in it, I'll settle in your project and do it together, what do you think?"

Lin Haixia was stunned for a moment, before he entered the company, he was actually very familiar with Liu Neng's name. But most of them are word of mouth, and most people don't know his work status in the project team, what if he is simply a wine bag and rice bag, and only bet on the right treasure a few times to achieve this level?

But Lin Haixia still believes that Liu Neng is indeed talented. Who is lucky in a lifetime? In just over a year, he was able to grow rapidly, making six or seven games a year - it is said that the original "Don't Step on the White Block" was just a small team of three people, and it was a simple but fascinating little game. There is also "Snake Wars" that he is playing now, and he thinks that its completion is higher than the original "White Block", and it is very magical and playable. Although I later knew that this was a stand-alone game, before I knew it, I thought that the robot Ai in it was a real person!

It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into the robot logic in the game.

If this game is really designed by Liu Neng, Lin Haixia believes in his genius. But letting the big boss into the project will feel particularly uncomfortable.

After intense reflection on the intersection of heaven and man, he nodded and said, "No problem! ”

…………

While still discussing the details of the version, Jiang Xiaolan ran out of breath and said, "Boss, I found you, I asked a lot of people, but I don't know where you ran to!" ”

"What are you looking for me? I'm the one who has a girlfriend! ”

"Believe it or not, I strangled you?" Jiang Xiaolan said, "Let's get down to business, I received an invitation letter inviting you to participate in the 3rd Goldfish Cup China Game Competition, and asked you to bring the game to participate." ”

"Goldfish Cup? Such a lowly name? Don't go! ”

"If I were from the jury, I would have strangled you." Lin Haixia rolled her eyes and said, "This is a good opportunity for you to wash your name, it's shameful to make good use of these opportunities." ”

Liu Neng looked at the invitation with some interest, "Dear Mr. Liu Neng: It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the Goldfish Cup China Game Grand Prix, this is the third ......"
