Chapter 107: Magical changes to several browser games

After arranging the follow-up development plan of the Three Kingdoms Studio, Liu Neng took a special look at the three browser games made by Black Duck Studio, these three games, in a sense, may be the last three browser games he made.

After the popularization of smart phones, web games will quickly fall into a dilemma, and web games, which once occupied one-third of the country, quickly declined in the era of smart mobile devices, and in just three or four years, they have directly entered the category of edge games.

But now that smartphones are in the ascendant, Liu Neng wants to incorporate some of his previous ideas into these three games.

The game "Cat Travel" is actually a very primitive MMO game, and those MMOs that can manipulate the movement of characters at will, "Cat Travel" is still moving in a grid, no matter how you think about it, it feels a little out of place with the games of this generation. After all, it has been three or four years since "Hot Blood" came from South Korea. The RTS game "Warcraft" is about to be released in the second generation, and its quality is judging from some promotional videos that have been circulated, and it has comprehensively surpassed other similar games, both in terms of graphics and competitiveness.

And it is said that Tempest, the production company of Warcraft, is now secretly working on an epoch-making MMORPG game. But so far, there has been no publicity screen outflow, everything is just word of mouth in the industry. As a first-line game manufacturer, Storm Games' game represents the top level in the industry, even if it is hidden like this, whether it is revealed or not some interview clips, can make people's hearts surge.

Liu Neng's "Cat Travels" can be said to be the opposite, extremely simple on the screen, with several "buns" to represent the player character. However, the extreme simplicity of the graphics can make the game endlessly rich. Liu Neng even thought about making a word mud game, but finally gave up. Mainly because playing word games on the computer is too wise.

It's just that this idea hasn't been completely stranded for the time being, and he is very interested in the idea, and maybe at some point in the future, when smartphones are fully popularized, he will go back to make such a game and make a big fuss about gameplay.

The game world of "Cat Travel" is very large, at least Liu can do it very large, in addition to the original nine major cities, five other cities have been added, and the original story line has been greatly expanded, making the game more playable. Of course, there will be some changes in the game class, mainly because he can't remember all the class types in which game he was from. However, some unique systems have been retained, including a part-time job system, battle royale gameplay, etc. Especially the battle royale gameplay, playing "battle royale" in the grid game is fundamentally different from those chicken eaters in the previous life, although the mechanism looks simple, but the gameplay is not backward at all.

Liu Neng sometimes wonders, did those chicken-eating games in his previous life also borrow from the battle royale of "Cat Travel" in terms of gameplay? After all, the original version of the so-called poison circle, supply and other gameplay is almost exactly the same as the cat travelogue.

The other two games also have a lot of magic changes. Of course, some of the core gameplay content still retains the original flavor, such as the setting of the only military general on the server in "Three Kingdoms", which is fundamentally different from other games when players play.

After playing a lot of card games, it may not be strange for Guan Yu to single out Guan Yu. But anyway, it still feels strange to play such a very unscenic thing in a game. "Three Kingdoms of Blood" has this characteristic, the only military general mechanism, which allows players to fight for historical generals. Now the current games are all about robbing the city and expanding the game map as the main content of the game; However, the core gameplay of "Three Kingdoms of Blood" produced by Liu Neng is to compete for the only martial arts as the main game content.

In the later stage, it may be impossible to avoid cross-server battles, and the same generals will appear in the same battle, but after all, in a limited time, in the same server, Lu Bu or Guan Yu can still be used to show off for a long time.

And as a kryptonite game, of course, Liu Neng will not simply let players recruit the only generals in history, these generals will have to spend a lot of money to recruit, even if they need to spend money to maintain the relationship after recruiting, otherwise they can only watch his loyalty to you gradually decrease and eventually go into the wild.

These gameplay methods had a vague concept when Liu Neng first thought about it. Now seeing that they have gradually started to do it, some ideas have gradually become clear, so I simply stayed in Guanghua City for two more days, and delivered my ideas and design ideas into a written document to Peng Shuang, so that he could continue to refine them.

In fact, there has always been a market for SLG games, otherwise there would not be many game companies piling up to do it, such as the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" of the third-tier small factory Qicai Technology is such a game. However, "Sengoku Seven Heroes" has not been able to escape the trap of SLG, which has always been a web game, and the main gameplay is to fight for the city. Some of Liu Neng's thoughts have been added to "Three Kingdoms", otherwise the previous "general trend of the world" system will still be retained to establish a sense of purpose for players. In addition to the setting of the "Unique Historical General", there are also a series of randomly generated generals, of course, which are also divided into a variety of qualities, and some generals are even higher in four dimensions than some "Unique Historical Generals". However, the "only general" has his own unique skills, which are incomparable to ordinary generals.

After these contents are determined, a specific plan is formed, and then it is relatively smooth to connect with Peng Shuang. Although I don't understand it, but fortunately, the relationship between the two is very good, and they can dock in real time, unlike the relationship between the general boss and the employee, the boss will no longer care about the order after it is issued, and the employee will not dare to ask because of the boss's authority. The relationship between Liu Nengpeng and Peng does not exist in this situation.

After confirming that the development here was on the right track, Liu Neng also set off for the magic capital of Shanghai again. On the road, he still wondered if he had made himself a little too busy and tired. But fortunately, it seems that it is not so busy that it does not work overtime until late at night every day, there is enough time to recuperate, and there is no major mental problem.

Therefore, the 996 work system is indeed the devil, and it may be that on the surface, most urban young people really go to bed after 11 o'clock, as if they can get off work at 9 o'clock at night and go to bed at 11 o'clock. But that state of being physically and mentally exhausted, without the slightest space and time for one's own life, can't last long. It's as if there is always a string in the human mind that is only taut, and the looseness of the string can make the string last longer; If it has been tightened, it will age rapidly, and once there is a more urgent situation, this tense string will easily break.
