Chapter 382: Fair Game, Just Like Cheating Krypton
Not long after "Auto Chess" was launched, it quickly became popular all over the world!
A very obvious example is that in the Alpha Game Store, "Light of the Gods", which originally topped the best-selling list, was overtaken and reduced to a supporting role on the list in just seven hours after the launch of "Auto Chess".
According to the previous promotion plan, "Auto Chess" has also successfully climbed into several big recommended positions in the Alpha Mall, and has begun to crush other bracelet games, and as "Auto Chess" has been online for longer and longer, there will definitely be more and more players who will continue to enter, and the gap between it and other games will definitely get bigger and bigger!
Many players are a little puzzled, no, "Auto Chess" is different from "City Guard Battle", it is not a kryptonite game!
This game doesn't sell combat power, nor does it sell rare chess pieces, players spend money to buy all the appearances, how can it surpass "Light of the Gods" on the best-selling list?
But players quickly understood that this game was developed by Tianji Studio!
Who said that if you only sell the appearance, this game will not be krypton? The krypton is still the same as the krypton!
……
Auto Chess is indeed a fair game, but it is not a lot of money.
Moreover, for Tianji Studio, with the successful experience of the two games "Dawn Era" and "City Guardian Battle", this kind of thing is simply easy to crypton!
The paid points in Auto Chess are all appearances, but just appearances, they can still be spended.
The regular top-up content in the game is similar to "Dawn Era" and "City Guardian Battle", with additional rewards, first deposit rewards, upgrade chest discounts, etc., all available.
The consumption content in the game mainly includes the appearance of chess pieces, the appearance of chess players, and the appearance of chessboards.
The "player appearance" is similar to the courier appearance in Dota auto chess on PC, but with a bit more fancy. During the battle, your own player will be at the bottom right of the board, while the enemy player will be at the top left of the board.
As long as you have a different appearance of a chess player, you will be particularly face-saving once you win when invading other players.
The content of the chess player's appearance is very rich, and there are some more beautiful female characters, such as the pig riding girl, the ice princess, and the phantom assassin; There are also some cute species, such as panda people, blue Pegasus, and huskies; There are also some more powerful and vicious ones, such as the Scythe Grim Reaper, Hell Demon, Lava Giant, etc., which players are free to choose according to their preferences (if you can draw them).
Some of these player skins are obtained by random drawing, others are given or purchased after increasing their rank, and some are crafted from shards that are accidentally dropped during battle.
Imagine, when a player rushes to a relatively high rank and changes his image as a chess player to a rare player exclusive to a high division, he feels that he has already won in momentum before he starts playing.
The appearance of the chessboard can directly change the style of the entire chessboard.
There are two main aspects of the appearance of the chessboard, namely the "defensive part" and the "offensive part", the former is mainly a scene model, and the latter is mainly a special effect.
The style of the "defensive part" and "offensive part" of the board appearance is unified, and there are many main categories, such as "pastoral", "thunderstorm", "blizzard", "lava", "desert", and so on.
For example, if a player gains a "blizzard" board appearance, their board will become a snowy scene. The rarer the scene, the richer the elements and special effects in the scene, and the more comfortable it will look like.
The ice and snow of your board is the content of the "defensive part", and the content of the "offensive part" is the special effect performance that you see when you invade other players.
For example, the player now gets the "Blizzard" board sprite to invade an enemy with the "Desert" sprite. Then at the same time as the invasion, the enemy's "desert" chessboard will be filled with snowflake effects, and the two sides will fight in a blizzard.
Once the player with the "Blizzard" appearance wins, the entire scene will be changed to the appearance of the blizzard scene at the moment of victory, and the original desert will become a field of ice and snow, on which the victor's chess pieces will perform various celebratory moves.
Of course, if the player with the "Desert" appearance successfully defends, then the "Blizzard" special effect disappears and the desert scene is still maintained.
The appearance of the chessboard can also enhance the player's sense of immersion in battle. Imagine a player who likes to play the elf lineup and chooses the "pastoral" style board skin, or a player who likes the mage lineup and chooses the "blizzard" skin, whether it is a defensive victory or an offensive victory, you can get a strong sense of substitution.
Finally, there is the appearance of the chess pieces with the most and deepest holes in the game.
The appearance of the pieces in Auto Chess is the same as in Dota 2, and it is divided into many different parts. In the [Chess Piece Illustrated] function, players can freely edit the appearance of all their chess pieces and make them look the most handsome according to their preferences.
For example, as an ordinary mage, the Crystal Maiden is just wearing a pale blue mage robe, holding a sapphire staff, and a little bit of wind and snow effects around her. But if she can put together a complete set of chess piece skins, her appearance will be turned upside down.
After putting together a complete set of chess pieces, the crystal maiden took the Aurora Scepter, put on the Snow Collapse Frost Fur, the Glacier Crown, the Snow Falling Gloves and the Ice Comet, her whole body exuded a faint blue ice crystal cold light, and the robe fluttered with a large number of snowflake effects, exuding a dazzling brilliance like crystal.
Anyway, let's not talk about whether the fight is strong or not, just looking at this set of appearances, you have already won half of the victory.
Moreover, these pieces will grow in size after being upgraded to a star, and if you can upgrade these pieces with appearance to three stars, their appearance will become more eye-catching.
There are also some particularly powerful chess pieces, such as the Juggernaut in the warrior lineup, the Doomsday Guard, the Windranger in the elf lineup, the Moon Rider, the helicopter in the goblin lineup, the goblin engineer, etc., all kinds of handsome appearances will make them look more powerful and domineering, whether the game can win or not is another matter, anyway, just looking at this shape, it is enough to be pleasing to the eye.
As for how to get so many appearances, it is still a traditional routine: part of it is given, part of it depends on the liver, part of it depends on krypton, and a small part of it is both liver and krypton.
The way to sell the skins in Auto Chess is carefully planned, and some of the worse skins are given away for free, mainly to cultivate the habit of players using skins, and by the way, let them stay in the game, so that they can play slowly, and after encountering some particularly favorite skins, they can't help but spend money.
Although it is still a matter of liver and krypton, this time players have praised the profit system of "Auto Chess"! Not only did there not be much disgust, but they praised each other!
"Auto Chess is a truly fair competitive game! Woo woo, Tianji Studio, I blame you! ”
"Yes, I really didn't expect it, who would have thought that the treasure chests sold by the developers of "City Guardian Battle" would have the appearance that did not affect the combat power?"
"Look at "Light of the Gods" again, the griffin studio has even sold its combat power shamelessly, shame!"
"Judge from above!"
"Auto Chess" is so fun, it's just a conscience, blow up!"
Naturally, players compared Auto Chess to Ragnarok Light, and the result of the comparison was much more than anyone expected!
Originally, players thought that Griffin Studio, as an old console studio, would have to be a little more conscientious even if it was changed to a mobile game, right?
As a result, players found out that they were wrong, although "Light of the Gods" is not as krypton as many mobile games that play with kryptonite, but there are all common boxes and recharge activities!
On the contrary, Tianji Studio, which has always been a krypton gold manufacturer, has a conscience for "Auto Chess" this time.
Many players are wondering, did you two take the script backwards?
In fact, you can't blame the Griffin Studio for this, they didn't expect Tianji Studio to come out like this!
The reason why most of the popular mobile games are stronger than terminal games in terms of profitability is mainly because of this krypton gold system. "City Guardian War" is a set of standard Western krypton gold model, selling boxes, selling time, inducing players to consume through various means, and balancing the relationship between players and krypton players.
Griffon Studios is clearly doing this along the lines, and Light of the Gods has naturally joined these uncrate and top-up activities.
It's not that Griffon Studio's conscience is broken, their idea is that since they have decided to make a mobile game, they must do it according to the mobile game. Making a mobile game is to make a profit, to make a good financial report, to make a "conscience" mobile game, but in the end, the money is not earned, and the reputation is ruined, isn't it all over?
As a result, after Griffin Studio finished finishing, it happened to bump into "Auto Chess" and was completely dumbfounded.
Tianji Studio has changed its routine!
used to be a fancy trick Krypton, how simple and rude how to come, spend money to buy combat power, spend money to buy time, spend money to buy luck...... But now, all of a sudden, it's just about the looks!
This caught the griffon studio off guard, as if it was very ill-intentioned......
With the continuous popularity of "Auto Chess", players have also begun to study various routines about this game, forming many unique memes.
For example, if you can guarantee that you have 50 yuan in your hand to eat interest, and at the same time you can eat a winning streak, which is called "Tianhu", also known as "people can't beat dogs".
There are also some players who choose to deliberately put on a bunch of weak pieces (fake match) or simply do nothing (empty city) in order to get the reward of losing streak, and after the blood volume drops to a certain level, they increase the strength of the lineup in one go to start a winning streak, which is called "locking blood".
However, sometimes even if you spend all the money, you still can't play, and you get the eighth place and go out early, which is also known as "empty city to violent death", and you can only angrily play a sentence "dealer nmsl" on the public screen.
Randomness and strategy have reached a very perfect combination in the game "Auto Chess", and many popular science "Auto Chess" mechanics and videos explaining how to play have also quickly become popular on major video websites and spread quickly among the player groups.
Such a very unique mobile game, with its exquisite graphics, rich and interesting gameplay and fair mechanics, quickly became popular among the player community, whether it is the number of downloads of "Auto Chess" in major game stores, the popularity or the discussion on the Internet, it can be clearly seen that its popularity can be seen.
And what is more convincing should be the situation of major live broadcast websites.
Zhong Ming's own Shimmer live broadcast platform is of course deliberately praising "Auto Chess", and many "Auto Chess" players who have played a high rank have automatically received the official recommendation of Shimmer Live, and a group of newcomer anchors with superb chess skills soon emerged.
Streamers in other sections, such as Project Xuanjia and other console game sections, are also playing Auto Chess, and the game has become the next hot spot after Wolf.
Of course, the Shimmer live broadcast platform may still have a bit of official guidance for "Auto Chess", but on other live broadcast platforms, "Auto Chess" is also popular!
On the Linghu live broadcast platform, "Auto Chess" has also swept various partitions, whether it is a competitive game, an online game or a stand-alone game, you can see the anchor broadcasting "Auto Chess" everywhere.
Moreover, many viewers were surprised to find that they watched the anchor at night and said, "After playing this "Auto Chess", the audience washed and slept, and when they got up the next day, they opened the live broadcast platform and saw that the anchor was still fighting......
Under the magic of "Auto Chess", many anchors who were originally keen on fishing began to passively "work overtime", which shocked many viewers, how toxic is this game?
……
Shimmer Studios.
The success of "Auto Chess" was completely expected for Zhong Ming, and it was not particularly exciting.
What he is more concerned about now is the next R&D plan of Shimmer Studio.
Previously, Shimmer Studios had been focusing on the follow-up development of Star Tinder 2, and so far, it has basically come to an end.
As for Zhong Ming, he can finally concentrate and start making the "top game" he has always wanted to do.
If there is also a chain of disdain for games in this world, then the bracelet game is at the bottom, and the simulator game is at the top.
Simulator games are more extreme than console games, with higher costs, more investment, and a smaller player base, but they are the best way for game manufacturers to flex their muscles.
Just like Star Tinder 2, although the players who actually play the game on the GS1 emulator are a minority in the player base, it can give players the best gaming experience.
Zhong Ming's positioning for Shimmer Studio is: to cooperate with Yunuo Technology and continue to explore the highest experience that the game can bring to players under the current technical conditions.
Just like Zhong Ming's previous life, it is clear that VR technology is immature, and it is impossible to popularize various simulator equipment because of the cost, why are there so many companies to develop the top VR glasses and some special driving simulators?
Sometimes a simulator that simulates real driving costs hundreds of thousands, and a single steering wheel costs thousands of dollars, which is cost-effective, and it may not be able to sell for a few dollars, but these companies are still making it without hesitation.
At the end of the day, it's an act of flexing muscles, and although the technique is not mature, there has to be the first person to eat the crab. It doesn't matter if you can't eat it, once you eat it, it will cause a sensation in the entire industry and greatly enhance the popularity of your own brand.
And Zhong Ming is now going to continue to move forward in this direction with Shimmer Studio and Yunuo Technology, and go further in terms of the game experience brought by the latest technology.
