Game Entertainment Empire

"Mr. Yang, isn't the design of these skills and the gameplay mainly based on pure marksmanship?" Wang Ye looked at the gdd provided by Yang Chen and raised a question.

Although the current gdd has not been fully designed, but the general things have been determined.

For example, the game mainly revolves around the two elements of pushing carts and occupying points, and in terms of hero skills, Yang Chen has already designed most of the heroes.

Although Yang Chen hasn't designed the specific value yet, Wang Ye is no novice.

With regard to the gameplay of "Overwatch", I can already get a glimpse of it from gdd, coupled with the description of the effect of skills, Wang Ye can already be sure that it is not only marksmanship that really affects the outcome of a confrontation between players, but more importantly, skills .

For example, Zenyatta's ultimate move makes him invincible, and the surrounding allies quickly recover blood. This means that without Anna's forbidden healing bottle, it can be said that the teammates around him are also invincible unless they are instantly killed by the opponent.

There is also a hero named Zarya's ultimate move is Gravity Surge, which can absorb all enemies together. At this time, if you keep up with a pharah's justice from heaven, the picture is simply too beautiful.

"This is not a hardcore FPS game. Compared to "Call of Duty Modern Warfare", "Overwatch" is more about entertainment." Yang Chen said to Wang Ye.

In "Call of Duty Modern Warfare" with the rise of team competition and fast-paced street fighting mode, most players regard the multiplayer mode of "Call of Duty Modern Warfare" as an entertainment-oriented game.

But in fact, "Call of Duty Modern Warfare" is still very hardcore, especially in short-distance confrontations. Whoever has the fastest reaction and the toughest marksmanship is the winner.

Next, Yang Chen mainly discussed with Wang Ye and the others about the gameplay elements in the game. After the discussion, what was left was Yang Chen and Chen Shu's request.

As for the requirements for the artist design in the game, Yang Chen still pays more attention to this aspect, except for the cg animation aspect of the game.

It's not that it can't be made into a pve story mode, but the key lies in the number of heroes in the game "Overwatch". It doesn't make much sense to make it short.

It takes a lot of text to render a character and keep the player in mind.

Butts are an exception of course.

If you make it short, you may face bad reviews from players.

And if all of them are long enough, it will definitely be a complicated project.

Therefore, Yang Chen's idea of ​​​​the entire world view of "Overwatch", as well as the plot, is shown in the pve plot, and the plot of the characters is used as a branch of cg animation.

Because the original "Watching Pioneer" world view is already big enough, and then add branches into the plot, such as the occurrence of the intelligent machine crisis, the occurrence of the Overwatch organizational framework, and then the outbreak of the civil war.

In fact, the plot of "Watching Pioneer" still largely refers to the story of the outbreak of the Avengers Civil War in Marvel Comics.

…………

When Yang Chen and his team began to prepare for the development of "Overwatch", the long-promoted "Dragon and Phoenix Heroes" by NetDragon and Phoenix Games officially ushered in its launch.

Although "League of Legends" has undergone a version update before this, five brand new heroes in different positions, as well as linked ip skins, and the new 'Polar Smash Bros. There was a lot of heat.

However, in the face of Phoenix Games and NetDragon's large-scale publicity, many players entered it immediately.

After all, judging from the publicity of Phoenix Games and NetDragon, the game "Dragon and Phoenix Heroes" still has many advantages.

The first advantage is the setting called Time-Space Hub, which originated from Phoenix Games and the addition of classic IP characters under NetDragon. This role linkage alone can attract many players into the pit.

The second is to give people a very novel and unique gameplay, and to weaken the threshold for beginners.

Team sharing of experience, cancellation of the economic system, no equipment settings, plus it seems that there are many modes of play in the game and not a static map.

"Dragon and Phoenix Heroes" gives players a very novel feeling.

Players who enter the game basically understand how the game is played after a simple get started.

Especially in the game of sharing experience and canceling the addition of the economy, even if there are more deaths, the two sides are still on the same starting line.

Some players who were abused by masters in "League of Legends" suddenly felt that this game was simply too fun.

Go up and do it, and if you die, you will live and continue to do it. Anyway, there is no such thing as economic crushing. Even if it is a hundred times, it doesn't feel like a big deal.

Although it has only been online for a day, many players have already applauded the game "Dragon and Phoenix Heroes".

‘I feel that NetDragon and Phoenix Games have really made a fun game this time! You can't stop clicking one game at a time! '

'+1, it feels really fun and compelling, and the hero's skill talent tree feels very creative, one hero has several ways to play! '

‘And the content of the map is so rich! There are so many maps! '

'Is there any team! Let's play together! '

In the major game communities and forums, countless players applauded.

With the promotion of NetDragon and Phoenix games, the popularity has also surpassed "League of Legends" and came to the number one position in the rankings.

"Dragon and Phoenix Heroes" was a big success!

The rest of the game makers who have already established projects, or are planning to establish projects, were all surprised when they saw this scene.

In the "League of Legends" project team, Chen Chuan and the others also felt the pressure, according to the big data in the background.

With the popularity of "Dragon and Phoenix Heroes", the players of "League of Legends" have also passed away a lot, after all, these two games are similar games.

…………

"New version update?" In the office, Chen Chuan, who was looking at the application, and Yang Chen, who was out of sight from the "Overwatch" pve design proposal, were a little surprised.

"Mr. Yang, many "League of Legends" players have been lost." Chen Chuan said.

"The qualifying version is about to be released in a week, but let's put it aside for the rest of the event and the big version update." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Chen Chuan couldn't help showing a strange expression.

"The popularity of "Dragon and Phoenix Heroes" will drop soon, they are on the wrong path." Yang Chen looked at Chen Chuan and said.

Regarding this game, Yang Chen had experienced a few games when it was launched, and also spent a long time researching it.

It is very similar to the "Heroes of the Storm" in the dream memory, and there is another more important point, that is, the design of the heroes in the game, probably because of the rush of time, many of them are unreasonable, and the balance of strength is not yet available. Unrecognizable.

But it can be seen from the talent tree that many of them belong to that type of deck.

For example, a hero was originally an output bonus, but the talent tree became a defense bonus; the same is true for other heroes.

The root cause is still the NetDragon and Phoenix games. In order to seize time, it is too late to delve into it.

Coupled with this setting that is more competitive, but less entertaining, Yang Chen, who stands on the shoulders of giants and understands the ending of the game in his dream memory, really has no reason to be optimistic about them.

As for the "League of Legends" event, it is true that the launch can increase popularity in a short time and attract players.

But such things as activities need to have a certain degree, once passed, it may be self-defeating.
