Video Game Designer

Different from ordinary players like Jiang Xun, game reviewers and some hardcore gamers are more interested in not the fun of the game, but some detailed easter eggs in the game.

Including the killing voice of the heroes, as well as the scene interaction on the map, these are the objects of their attention.

At the same time, on the opening day, the scores of IGN and GameSpot were also released one after another, giving a high score of 9.5.

Of course, Tianhe Network still paid some money, after all, these media rating websites also want to make money.

It's just that compared to some other scoring websites, gamespot and IGN pay a little more attention to the food, so it is still a relatively authoritative website in the eyes of players.

It may look at the face of the banknotes and increase your score, but the basis for getting a high score is based on the fact that you do have that strength.

Otherwise, it is impossible for a game that can only give you 7 points to give you 8 points or 9 points.

As for the full score of 10, in fact, sometimes there will be money transactions. After all, even the Oscars, which are recognized as the highest awards in the film industry, have public relations.

Of course, games that can generally score 10 points must be truly top 3A masterpieces like Red Dead Redemption, God of War, and Halo, or some indie games that go too far.

In Internet cafes and Internet cafes across the country, in the game menu, the word HOT is marked in red behind Tianhe Network's League of Legends, and the desktop screens are also uniformly replaced with League of Legends game wallpapers, including mouse pads. Made by League of Legends.

There is no doubt that these are all paid by Tianhe Network, as for how much money?

In fact, this is really not much. After all, the Internet cafes and Internet cafes that can be named nationwide are basically the privilege of joining the games under Tianhe Network.

For example, DNF privileged Internet cafes and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds privileged Internet cafes. When surfing the Internet in these stores, players can use the skins and fashions exclusive to Internet cafes for free.

At the same time, in the game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Tianhe Network will also open up a dedicated event server for Internet cafes, allowing them to host their own Internet cafe leagues.

The bonus pool is set at 3,000 or 5,000 yuan, and the registration fee is 50 yuan. Now that you have decided to sign up, you must train your mind.

It’s impossible for the five players to train with YY at home, right? Why don’t you practice sitting in rows in an Internet cafe?

In addition, holding an event by itself can also promote the reputation of Internet cafes in the local area, so many Internet cafes are also very happy to hold such events.

However, the objects of the game must be the most popular games nowadays. Otherwise, if you make a game that no one plays, it will be called propaganda and burning money.

In addition to the DNF zone, the World of Warcraft zone and the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds zone in Shengyuan, an Internet cafe in Shanghai Hongqiao, there is also a League of Legends zone. There are big posters hanging on the wall, and there is a locked door next to each machine. A transparent glass cabinet, in which there are figurines in the game.

"Holy shit, the stone man cooperates with Feng Nan very well. After one big move, Feng Nan takes the big move, and the world is instantly quiet."

"What is this? A succubus with a card and a ninja that can teleport to others is called ruthless. It's like the ghosts, prophets, and tinkers in DOTA. It's a global game, and it's 4V1 in an instant. Who the fuck can stand it? "

"It's all scum. I, Steel Garen, are invincible in the late stage. As long as there is residual blood and a big health care, I will teach you how to be a man in an instant."

"Galen is invincible! QWERDF, just attack you fancy things."

The slots are limited, and many players without slots are not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they watch and play behind others, and then discuss with each other the hero skills and lineup combinations in the game.

A brand new game brings them a completely different feeling, although in the team production concept of Chuhe and League of Legends, this game actually does not have so many bells and whistles changes, such as the opposite armor is high, you Armor-piercing equipment is about to be released.

The opponent has high health, so you need to use the equipment that can damage based on the maximum health, such as the broken blade.

Most heroes have two pieces of core equipment of their own. If they want to improve their combat effectiveness, they must use them.

For example, the passive of "Wind Sword God" is to double the chance of critical strikes and reduce some critical strike damage. The Infinity Blade is his core equipment. At the same time, in order to achieve 100% critical strikes, he will basically Bring out a shock suit.

This design is to simplify the game's equipment system and make it easier for novice players to get started, instead of choosing according to the current situation in DOTA, whether to use fighting equipment such as drums and sacrifices, or use the hands of the team for support. Shoes, Huiyao these money-making equipment, or jumping knives, hidden knives and other rhythmic equipment.

League of Legends is much simpler and rougher. It doesn’t matter whether you are an advantage or a disadvantage. Anyway, if you use the core hero equipment in the recommended outfit, you can’t go wrong.

But for ordinary players, talent, summoner skills, and in addition to the 4 skills of the hero itself, there is also an additional passive skill that comes with it. This game is pretty deep.

For example, what hero matches what talent is awesome, what hero brings what summoner skill is awesome, when you don’t understand, and you already understand the DOTA routines, you suddenly play League of Legends, a completely different game, in the early days. In the player's impression, even feel that the game League of Legends is quite complicated.

Not only players, but also people like game anchors, including colleagues in the industry are also trying games.

For people in this industry, they have personal preferences for games, but at the same time, as long as they are popular games, they will basically play them, and then analyze why this game is popular, and then judge according to their own strategy, whether to follow into or absorb their characteristics.

Located in Shenzhen Penguin Game Headquarters, as the manager of the game department, Wang Xinwu stared at the game screen that had just ended on the computer, then opened a word document and entered text in it.

After writing about two pages, click Save, and Wang Xinwu looked at the screen with his chin crossed.

Regarding the game content of League of Legends itself, he is not very good at commenting, because it is just an experience of one game, and the real content cannot be seen.

But at least on the surface, this game has been done very well, not to mention UI, modeling, and art, which test the hard skills of developers.

The game design itself, as well as the novice guide, and the data show above, there is no doubt that League of Legends has done well enough.

And the real key point is that even players who have never played DOTA before can get started quickly after optimizing the entry threshold through the novice guide and the game.

"The US$10 million agency fee for representing HON may be in vain."

Thinking of the agent HON not long ago, Wang Xinwu couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

As for the game field, Penguin's strategy is to cooperate as an agent. You agree that everyone will be happy, and everyone will earn money together. From now on, you will be a member of the Penguin family.

you disagree?

Very good, then your idea will be mine from now on, and I will do it better than you.

Penguin has been doing this since its inception.

Many people in the industry call Penguin a plagiarist and a copycat king.

For example, people often say that Penguin Communications copied ICQ, but who knew that the original ICQ had many disadvantages, such as data stored on the local computer, which means that if you log in to another computer, your friends will disappear, and at the same time It is not yet possible to leave a message offline, and both parties must be online to see each other's messages.

In the domestic communication industry at that time, Penguin could only be said to be a younger brother, but the most powerful thing about Penguin was that it could copy and learn from you, and he could do better than you based on your foundation. thing.

"Since Tianhe Network is eyeing this market, it can't let it be the only one. There is no chance to count on HON. It will take too long to review and modify the content. If the League of Legends is successful enough by then, it is estimated that The whole market has been seized by it.”

After thinking about it, Wang Xinwu soon made a decision.
