Game Entertainment Empire

What's the situation! ?

How come it's me again?

Yang Chen looked at a lot of emoticons, and the phrase "Yang Chen is just a gamer, he knows Alsace", which has already appeared on the official blog's hot search entry, can be said to be a face. The bewildered.

He did nothing.

From the first screenshot of a chat group, in an instant the official blog and the game community spread the meme wildly, and even evolved into other industries.

For example, ‘XX is an XX who writes and understands a fart’, ‘XX is a XX who draws comics and knows a fart’.

And Yang Chen himself has harvested a lot of emoticons, together with Yang Chen's name and "Warcraft", it has been on the top of the official blog.

Looking at this trending search, Yang Chen was speechless.

Especially in the game community, a group of players are asking for emoticons about him, which makes him look black.

When I usually use emoticons, I find it quite interesting, but if the prototype of these sand sculpture emoticons is me, it will be different.

I don't feel angry, and Yang Chen is not like the girl surnamed Cai on the Internet before, because the material of some of his programs has been made into a ghost video, and then he has to sue the other website and send a lawyer's letter. The key is The lawyer's letter was sent to the wrong place.

But looking at my various edited GIFs, I still feel a little embarrassed.

For the group of players who are watching the excitement, emoticons and memes make them feel very interesting, but for the real players of Xingyun games, in addition to playing with these memes and emoticons at the beginning, now they pay more attention to it. It's not on it anymore.

Because the latest version of "Warcraft" is about to go online.

In addition to the new campaign mode Frozen Throne, there are new features that are custom maps and map editors.

As for the custom map, it can be said that it is one of the things that players are most looking forward to.

After all, in the carnival demo, the custom map demo can be said to really make players feel very interesting.

Although the RTS gameplay is very interesting,

But for most ordinary players, the experience of playing against real people is far from that high. Even the game experience of fighting against real people may not be as high as that of playing against computer players.

And these players actually account for the vast majority. Compared with the RTS mode with higher competitive elements, it is obviously more attractive to these players.

After the version was updated, countless players began to play new campaigns, as well as these RPG maps.

‘This modeling, this dubbing, except that the UI is the same as that of “Warcraft”, this is a completely changed game! '

‘Why can you only choose the heroes of the Shu Kingdom? I want to choose Lu Bu! '

‘You choose a chicken neck, you said that this map is called the Guardian Jiange, this is the story of the guards of the Shu Kingdom, and at this time, Lu Bu had already hanged himself on the White Gate Building, right? '

‘The equipment bought in the store can be upgraded! '

‘You can still do tasks here! '

‘West grass, there is also a kung fu room, you can level up by fighting monsters in it! '

'I'm pissing you off! This map actually has a gambling house, and all my more than 10,000 gold coins have been eaten! '

'Fuck! My gold coins were also eaten! '

‘You can still bet on equipment here! All the equipment I upgraded to purple is gone, I'm naked! '

‘Why don’t we add a friend, quit and reopen? '

'This can have! '

It seems that a defensive map like "Guarding the Sword Pavilion" feels quite silly.

It's just that the enemy will attack according to the time, and then the player can defend.

But there are countless copies in the whole game, as well as various equipment, and dozens of heroes, it can be said that this is equivalent to a small RPG game.

At the same time, compared to the RPG map in Dream Memory, Yang Chen still made a lot of more detailed improvements to the game experience.

First of all, the player filling system is added. For some reason, the player leaves the game, and the players waiting in the lobby can join that game.

And some defensive maps, as well as RPG maps, usually take two to three hours, or even five or six hours. If passers-by form a team, half of them may be gone. This is also to prevent this from happening. .

Secondly, some special settings have been added in the game, such as equipment protection, to prevent the occurrence of equipment grabbing.

Of course, this is among passers-by. If friends are cheating each other, you can also turn off the function of equipment protection.

As for the map pool, although only some official maps have been launched so far, and no players have officially made maps, it is enough for players to have fun for a while.

And Yang Chen believes that some talented and capable map mod creators, after seeing these RPG maps of Nebula Games, will basically have an idea of ​​how to make a map that players like. .

To put it simply, any game can be said to pay attention to a sense of accomplishment element.

For example, in FPS and fighting games, headshots, finishing moves, killing the enemy and winning the game are not to be discussed.

The ever-increasing scores of parkour games and audio games are a kind of achievement feedback, allowing the player to understand that he is constantly getting stronger.

In the same way, the most common thing in RPG games is this kind of numerical improvement, and in these RPG maps of "Warcraft", just like some web games and krypton gold online games, it brings players the purest numerical improvement.

Although many players express their dislike for krypton gold games, those krypton gold games are not real games at all, but it is undeniable that this kind of intuitive change in value is the mechanism that can give players a sense of accomplishment and satisfy feedback.

Instead of manipulating hero minions as in normal games, you just manipulate a hero, release a few of his skills, and equip them with props to produce powerful output.

Whether it is "Guarding the Sword Pavilion", "The Catastrophe of the Western World" or even "Dynasty Warriors", "DOTA" can be said to use the same method, that is, to shorten and compress the process of becoming stronger.

From the beginning, it takes A half a day to kill an ordinary soldier, and later has the level and equipment, a wave of soldiers with one skill, and one soldier at a time.

Even in an RPG, if A dies all at once, the refreshing feedback of this kind of value is definitely strong enough.

Of course, there are still some differences, that is, in games such as 'Dynasty Warriors' and 'DOTA' where players compete against players, if you are not as skilled as others, you have a high probability of becoming a miscellaneous soldier.

It may even happen that you are killed by another player while finishing the knife.

Well, that's right, it's easy.

In addition, these maps are compared with those RPG games that need to constantly break through levels and slowly develop their own characters.

The custom map of "Warcraft" compressed this experience into a very short period of time.

Simply put, it's fast paced.

Because of these reasons, a large number of "Warcraft" players who were not very interested in the RTS gameplay mode quickly threw themselves into the embrace of these custom maps.

Most of these players are casual players who cannot play RTS.

In addition, in the custom maps, especially the two maps of "Guardian Jiange" and "Dynasty Warriors", because the models of the characters of the Three Kingdoms also have dubbing, their popularity has always been among the best.

Secondly, maps such as "The Catastrophe of the Western World" and "DOTA" and "Yu-Gi-Oh" are not low in popularity.

On the other hand, 'Impossible Boss', a map that tests the teamwork of players, is not played by many passers-by, and more friends are cheating on each other.

After all, for passers-by, the requirements of this map are a bit high. You need tanks, output and nurses, unlike the confrontational "Dynasty Warriors" and "DOTA". It's against the sky, and it's not like "The Catastrophe of the Western World" and "Guarding the Sword Pavilion". Even if you are alone, it takes a little longer to brush up with good equipment and you can pass the level.

This map is too focused on teamwork.

…………

There are more and more online discussions about these maps of the Xingyun game.

After all, there are very few players who can feel the fun of RTS gameplay and play it well.

And some players are not really unwilling to learn the gameplay of RTS, but they have more than enough energy, what can I do if I am handicapped?

There are still a lot of players of this type.

‘I feel that this custom map is much more fun. '

'I am in a hurry to control a bunch of units, but I can still control a hero. '

"It doesn't feel like playing "Warcraft" anymore. The line dubbing and models in "Guardian Jiange" and "Dynasty Warriors", and even the map have been changed. '

‘Haha, the most interesting feeling is that the picture of “Yu-Gi-Oh” is simply poisonous. I don’t play on the VR platform and PC platform. The cat played on the custom map in “Warcraft” for a day. '

‘By the way, is this buying a game and giving away a bunch of games? '

‘It means that Mr. Yang has lost money again? '

'This feeling is really a loss! '

Countless players are discussing in the game community.

Even the hot discussion about custom maps in "Warcraft" suppressed the enthusiasm for the plot about the Frozen Throne.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that no one has been able to get through the plot of the Frozen Throne so far. After all, except for RPGs such as "The Catastrophe of the Western World", the rest of the RPG maps are all within an hour and a half. .

The popularity of the content spreads much faster, and in the expansion pack of the Frozen Throne, there are changes in the mode for each level, so that the game process lasts about twelve hours, which can be said to be quite large.

…………

Of course, apart from the gamers themselves, many people are concerned about the map editor launched by Nebula Games in conjunction with "Warcraft".

It's not that no players want to try it themselves, but even though Yang Chen and Wang Ye made the map editor, they simplified it as much as possible.

But once it is opened, various interfaces and tools are still densely packed, not to mention reading the tutorial content to learn, the interface alone has already persuaded ordinary players to quit.

But for most MOD makers, it's a common thing.

As the veteran MOD team of Xingyun Games, Xu Lang also downloaded the map editor for "Warcraft" for the first time.

Speaking of his name, not many players may know it, but if it is about his work, most players of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" under Nebula Games will suddenly realize: it is him!

Xu Lang is the one who set up the production team of Magic Spike and developed the MOD of Skyrim of Love.

Although their MODs are banned in the MOD community on the official website, their MODs are no longer famous in the eyes of the player community.

The Skyrim of Love can be regarded as fulfilling a dream for him to make a game that he wanted to make. Now he is more interested in the map editor of "Warcraft".

Especially after he tried the custom map officially developed by Nebula Games in "Warcraft", he had an idea.

This is really too free, not to say how free the game is. For example, let players do whatever they want. This is definitely different from ARPG. The real freedom lies in the gameplay.

Task triggering, map conversion, and game mode setting modification may not be understood by ordinary players, but in the eyes of Xu Lang, a professional MOD producer, this is really too free.

And this is one of the main reasons that attracted him.

"Special model material library? And dubbing material!? Xingyun Game is trying to make a big deal!" Looking at the downloaded map editor, Xu Lang suddenly noticed an interface, his eyes widened.

If you want to make a new model or dub in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", you can only modify it yourself, or hire a professional voice actor.

For example, in the MOD project of Skyrim of Love, he didn’t earn a penny, let alone invested 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to make this MOD in his mind.

The main investment is in dubbing. Models and other things can be done by myself and some fellow enthusiasts, but dubbing can only be done by professionals.

And now "Warcraft" actually provides models and dubbing materials?

Moreover, Xu Lang took a look, not only the several game materials that Xingyun Games had released, but also some materials that did not appear in it.

For example, "Resident Evil", "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and even some model materials of "Assassin's Creed" that have not yet been released, he has seen them all.

Just when Xu Lang was still lamenting how much the Nebula Game map editor supported the mod creators, his cell phone rang suddenly. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a member of their Magic Spike production team.

What are you calling me for?

A hint of doubt appeared on Xu Lang's face.

After answering the phone, before Xu Lang could speak, the other party said excitedly: "Look, old Xu, look at the official blogs of Xingyun Games and Yang Chen! Big news!"

big news? What news!

"What? You said it." Xu Lang asked hastily.

"I can't explain it on the phone, you can just read it anyway, the news related to us." The other party on the phone said excitedly.

With doubts, Xu Lang opened the official blog of Xingyun Games for the first time, and then he burst into a foul language with some excitement: "Fuck!"

Not only Xu Lang, but some mod makers in China, including NetDragon, Tenghua, and Phoenix, who have been paying attention to Xingyun games, have all seen some signs.

Nebula Games, do you want to make a big deal this time?
