Chapter 55: That's right, that's what I thought

Li Xiang and Sun Wencheng both came out of the office with their faces on their faces, and they were very nervous.

Both of them have a feeling - this mission is not light!

As soon as he came up, he took 5 million yuan to engage in development, who can stand this?

Mr. Xue is going to spend a lot of money on a game!

Not only that, Xue Kui also asked the two of them to come up with a rough plan within two weeks, and then start the production of the game as soon as possible.

For professionals, it is not too difficult to come up with a conceptual game description in two weeks, but for Li Xiang, who has never participated in the production of games, this is not something that can be done simply.

Sun Wencheng is slightly better than Li Xiang, after all, he has worked in the industry for two years before, and he can be regarded as having seen the world to some extent.

Li Xiang was not as calm as Sun Wencheng, his hands were rubbing around in front of him unconsciously, and he didn't have any score in his head, and he didn't know where to start.

What can I do?

On the way back, Sun Wencheng saw that Li Xiang was constantly rubbing his hands in front of him, and he was quite eager to try and want to do a big job, and he admired it very much.

"Mr. Xue and Brother Xiang are so motivated, I can't hold back!" Sun Wencheng thought in his heart, and then said to Li Xiang: "Brother Xiang, why don't we go to the conference room to discuss?" ”

"Okay, Brother Cheng." Pulled back to his thoughts by Sun Wencheng's words, Li Xiang came back to his senses, and looking at Sun Wencheng, the tension in his heart eased a little - fortunately, someone was with me.

The two sat down in the conference room, and Sun Wencheng asked, "Brother Xiang, what kind of game do you think Mr. Xue wants?" ”

Li Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking back to the MOBA games he had played before, as well as games with plot connections, and quickly began to organize the plan in his mind.

Let's talk about it again, and let's fool the matter in front of me first... Li Xiang thought to himself.

"I think Xue always wants to subvert the whole MOBA game." Li Xiang spoke.

"Subversion?" Sun Wencheng's eyes widened, this is not something that anyone dares to say.

How easy is it to subvert a full-fledged gameplay?

If you want to talk about subversion, it is better to think about remaking a game with a new way of playing, which may be easier to succeed.

"Yes, I've thought about this matter seriously, and you can listen to my analysis." Seeing that Sun Wencheng was shocked by his words, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said in a flickering manner: "We all know that the current MOBA games contain only man-machine battles in a single-player mode, and the rest, whether it is a matchmaking mode or a ranked mode, requires players to team up with others.

And those players with poor game skills, in the man-machine mode, the gameplay is very simple, and the intelligence of the computer opponent is also very monotonous, in addition to allowing players to practice new heroes and new skills, the rest is the gold coins given for the first win of the day. ”

Sun Wencheng nodded, thinking back to the current MOBA battle games, there is indeed such a problem.

The single-player mode has been reduced to a driving range that does not bring deep joy to the player.

Aside from the fact that it allows players to earn gold for their first win on a daily basis through the single-player mode, it doesn't do much else.

"There's another very important thing, don't you listen to it?" Li Xiang added: "For most players, the game skills are actually not high, and everyone enjoys the fun of playing black with friends.

If a player has no friends to play this game, and he himself has poor skills, and when he is playing alone, he has the situation of 'selling teammates', 'giving away heads', and 'not joining a group', etc., causing the team to lose, his own game experience will be very poor, and he will even quarrel with his teammates. ”

"Mr. Xue should have fully understood these two situations, saw the potential value of the stand-alone mode, and wanted us to develop a stand-alone plot mode with stronger gameplay!" Li Xiang saw that Sun Wencheng was trying to accept his words, so he flickered even harder: "We all know that whether it is "Canyon Battle" or "Legend of Heroes", every hero in it has their own background story. ”

Sun Wencheng nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, it's not just MOBA battle games, almost every game has a potential backstory, but players rarely pay attention to these stories, and just focus on the gameplay." ”

"This is a point, if you think about it carefully, when "Canyon Battle" and "Legend of Heroes" launch new heroes, will they be accompanied by a short animated video to briefly introduce the origin of this hero?" Li Xiang continued to say along the train of thought.

"Yes, in these videos, everyone's main focus is on the attributes and skills of this hero." Sun Wencheng used to be a summoner in "Battle of the Canyon", but he played less after work, but the basic content is still clear.

Regarding the two games "Canyon Battle" and "Legend of Heroes", the game company will publish a short video introduction every time a new hero is launched, which will not only introduce the background story of the new hero, such as how the hero came from, which camp he is from, what experiences he has had after that, etc.

In addition, the video will also demonstrate the effects of new hero skills, so that everyone can quickly get started.

Sun Wencheng thought about Li Xiang's words, and then thought about it along this line of thought.

The fun of MOBA games is mainly about 'playing with friends' and 'carrying in games'.

If you lose both of these points of fun, then this type of game will not be attractive to players.

If the backstory of each hero is developed into a single story line, it is possible for those solo players who have not opened the black partner to continue to experience the single-player story mode.

Sun Wencheng thought about it, showing a surprised expression.

Could it be that Mr. Xue developed a single-player story mode to play not only to provide a reason for single players to continue playing this game, but also to use the stand-alone plot mode to attract players who don't play MOBA games to come in and play this kind of game?!

The more Sun Wencheng thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, his eyes widened wider and wider, and he said loudly: "Brother Xiang, listening to your guidance, I know what Xue always thinks!" ”

"What do you know?" Li Xiang's eyes widened, and he was surprised in his heart, but when he saw that the other party took over the conversation, his heart was completely relaxed - Sao Nian, it's not in vain that I tried my best to fool you, and then I watched you perform.

"Tell me." Li Xiang showed an expression of 'want to hear' and said enthusiastically.

"Mr. Xue probably wants us to design the backstories of these heroes into a story mode!" Sun Wencheng said excitedly.

"That's right!" Li Xiang hurriedly echoed, "I think so too." ”
