Otherworldly Architect

The charging system of "Pioneer of the Herd" was also learned from the Dragon Saber.

Because the revenue pressure is too great, many things in their mall system are out of balance.

In other words, players are forced to buy these items, and if they don’t buy them, there will be no normal game experience.

It's a pity that drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog!

The normal game experience of "Pioneer of the Herd" is the level of a B-level revenue game.

Even adding such a mall, it naturally plummeted to C-level.

The Dragon Slaughtering Sword's "Defying the Sky", but it has an A+ level in itself, is not the same.

This was the same practice in the past, which made a boutique game like "Grip of the Empire" cool, so players complained about it.

[If you don't have the design ability of other people's ghosts, don't learn to do things with the Dragon Slayer Sword! 】

[People have made a mall, which is part of the local tyrant's game experience; you made this ghost mall to force players to block, first halve the game experience, and then let players buy back the other half that originally belonged to them? This operation made me cry. 】

【Is not fun. Nothing else to say, the game is not fun, bye. 】

For this matter, industry insiders are also mostly joking attitudes.

In the Tulong Baodao studio, some employees also mentioned this issue.

But they really didn't have much impression of Zhu Wenshu. The rumors were like this:

"I heard that someone learned from the boss to make a krypton gold mall?"

"Do you want to die?"

"It's okay to draw a gourd according to the scoop, but you can't learn the game concept. If you can learn it, I won't come to Tulong Baodao to learn the art."

"Optics learned to cheat money, but didn't learn how to play the game well. It's really putting the cart before the horse."

On the other hand, Yu Bing, the third runner-up in the original star show competition, felt very complicated when he heard the news that "Pioneer of the Beast" was tragically in Waterloo.

In the Star Show Contest, Zhu Wenshu, who was a judge, gave "Fingertip Man" a 3.0 point condescendingly.

Unexpectedly, time has changed.

It has only been less than a year, and "Fingertips" has successfully transformed itself in the Tulong Baodao studio, and has become "Idle Hero" with a monthly turnover of 500 million, which is regarded as the "profit bible" in the industry.

However, Zhu Wenshu's new work "Pioneer of the Beast", which he had high hopes for, had a dismal result!

According to the speculation of insiders of Tulong Baodao, I am afraid it is difficult to be listed on the paid list of the sixth star province - that list has a full 200 positions.

It can be said that it was a slap in the face.

If the hero is judged by success or failure, I am afraid Yu Bing will have to be a judge for Zhu Wenshu——

"It's not that the games I made are bad, it's that you don't understand real games!"

At this time, Tingxi Studio was already overwhelmed.

Yes, people with cruise capital are pressing them to make money, but "Pioneer of the Herd" is really muddy and can't support the wall.

As far as this first release result is concerned, many marketing people are reluctant to work for them, because just looking at the quality of this work, they know that there is no hope, and the gods are hard to save.

On the other hand, there is the issue of players' public opinion. The reputation of the studio has completely collapsed, and a large number of "Grip of the Empire" players are still asking for an explanation.

How glorious it was in the past, how miserable it is today.

Later, Ming Yan was eating with Xia Cheng outside.

The people at the next table just mentioned "Pioneer of the Beast", Xia Cheng listened and said to Ming Yan, "It's a pity. Inside the IPP platform, there are still people who think that Zhu Wenshu is talented, after all, he can come up with the grip of the empire. I didn’t expect the results of “Pioneer of the Herd” to be so bad.”

Master Ming was very clear, and he immediately grasped the point and said: "I have experienced "Beast Herd Pioneer", this game is still based on Zhu Wenshu's creativity, so that players need to be in the tense battle. Playing poker with distractions requires the brain to use two minds, and the design violates human physiological habits, so it is naturally difficult for players to accept it.”

Others are lamenting the fall of Zhu Wenshu and discussing the issue of Shang Zhongyong.

Some people also began to use some low-level hype methods after they despised Tingxi Studio's entry into cruise capital.

But Ming Yan really focused on the game from start to finish.

He'd played Imperial Grips, and it looked pretty good, so he went to try out Pioneer of the Herd, hoping to see something exciting.

But in the end Ming Yan was disappointed.

He did not expect that Zhu Wenshu made a very simple but fatal mistake.

- He lets players do two things with one mind!

The essence of the game is to excavate the spiritual entertainment of human beings.

As clearly stated, human beings are physically unable to achieve dual purpose.

Most gaming experiences either let players make choices with their brains, or let players do things with their hands.

For example, there is simply no way a person can play League of Legends while racking his brains to deal with his girlfriend Chaban.

Only one thing can be done at the same time, otherwise there will not be so many contradictions of "do you want the game or me?"

And "Pioneer of the Herd" committed exactly this taboo.

What Zhu Wenshu said in the Xingxiu Contest that year, let the players "fight while playing cards", and he really let him do it.

Perhaps it was because of his explicit opposition that he made up his mind instead.

In this game, players have to think about how to play cards, while controlling the protagonist to run, fight, and cast skills—all in real time.

The result is only a rush!

Most players simply don't have time to operate, either they just remember to play the cards, or they don't care about the cards at all, and they are constantly being beaten by mobs - mobs AI is casually dual-purpose.

After a long time, this kind of battle scene will only make players feel upset, and the brain will not be able to command the hand.

Playing cards and fighting, these two systems actually have their own fun, but when combined together, it cannot be said that one plus one is greater than two.

In fact, it's even less than one.

It is impossible for the player to complete the game operation required by the designer, and gradually a large amount of unsolvable frustration arises, which of course naturally drains from the game.

They are not like Ming Yan, who can see clearly and clearly, and naturally can't say why.

They only have one sentence: [It doesn't feel fun. 】

Zhu Wenshu's personal blog has been very lively these two days, and he had to hire someone to delete some negative comments.

However, there are still many people who question the new game, and it is an indisputable fact that a large number of players feel that it is not fun.

Zhu Wenshu is still holding his neck, refusing to bow his head to reality:

["Pioneer of the Herd" is the best game of the year, this is an unquestionable fact! It's the player's fault that the player can't appreciate it. In five years, you'll know how wonderfully designed it is! 】

There is a sense of cynicism in that.

Players joked at the bottom:

[Listen to the stream is awesome, listen to the stream to grasp the truth of the universe, listen to the stream to follow the law (five cents a)]

[Swine fever book is scheduled to be the best of the year]

[Players don't know whether the game is fun or not, you designers understand it best, I'm dying of laughter. How did Master Ming teach you back then, and have you forgotten so quickly? 】

Compared to the players, Ming Yan's disappointment is also sincere.

"I hope his next work can be of a better standard." Ming Yan said, "Or improve "Pioneer of the Herd" and revise the combat system, I think there is still potential."

Xia Cheng was helpless and said, "I don't think you need to look forward to it anymore. Zhu Wenshu just has some talent for thinking of ideas. In fact, he doesn't understand the rules of game design. If the idea is just right, he can make it. Play a good game; if the idea doesn't work, he's useless."

After thinking for a while, Xia Cheng added: "And it is impossible for Cruise Capital to give him a chance to rebuild. That company is the mechanism of survival of the fittest. It is a game that is sure to be dead. If you don't claim back the early investment, it will be very generous. , it is impossible to continue to support. You can continue to see, maybe Tingxi studio will be sold. "

Ming Yan suddenly sighed.

He looked at the scenery outside the window and said in confusion: "This world is too complicated. I just hope that when the design can be attributed to the design, and the capital work can be attributed to the capital, that's fine."

Xia Cheng looked at him and said, "Yes. Master Ming, your Blue Star is such a paradise."

After he finished speaking, Ming Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

"I dare not say it is a paradise, but I do my best." Ming Yan said.

At least in the eyes of players in the Sixth Star Province, Blue Star Studio is a pure land in the game industry.

Other companies and studios, more or less, will have some side-scrolling behaviors.

In today's game world, too many games have purchase impulses and data fraud; too many female characters are exposed, and the whole game is as vulgar as a Goulan courtyard; too much **** violence, maliciously inciting conflicts between players conflict……

Tulong Baodao Studio takes advantage of the consumption impulse in human nature, but never deliberately spread these negative emotions.

No matter how vulgar "Anti Heaven" is, at least it will not be obscene, and it has never used **** and violence to attract players.

This is already a decent studio.

And Blue Star is more pure.

Every design is upright and created for players to have a better experience, and there is nothing else to ask for.

All profit comes from players liking their games.

This is why, players like Blue Star, trust Blue Star, and even spontaneously initiate several donations to Blue Star.

On May 20 this year, the Blue Star Carnival is coming soon.

Tens of millions of players have already participated in the lottery of carnival tickets, but in the end only five thousand lucky ones can get this qualification.

This carnival is the second, and the two most anticipated by players are still those two links——

Try new versions of major games in advance.

And the designer's player meeting!
