Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Following Chen Xu's clarification and the release of a promotional video for the game, all players instantly became excited.

Under Chen Xu’s official blog, players left messages one after another

"However, I am uneducated and can travel all over the world with just one word. This is so awesome!"

"In fact, if you just watch this CG animation video of"Warcraft", it feels awesome, but if you compare the promotional trailers of"Chrono Wheel" and"Magic City", you are simply blown away!"

"Haha, it’s really like this. I guess Tao Fa and Xiang Dongliu were also confused. They had planned a duel in the imperial city, but why did Chen Xu suddenly come out?"

"But I'm still curious about what type of game this is, RPG?"

"I can’t say for sure, but I feel like it should be an RPG or an ARPG. After all, most Western fantasy genres fall into these two categories."

"Do you think it's possible that the whole process will be of this standard?"

"How is it possible? Even giants like Tenghua and UEgame can't afford it! At that cost, you can make a top masterpiece on the VR platform, maybe even more."

………………

As the players said, Tao Fa really feels like a pain in the balls in the Tenghua game.

Damn it, you Chen Xu really spent 84 million to make CG animation for the game?

Previously, Tao Fa thought that Chen Xu might have really spent money to make CG animations for the game, but it shouldn't be as much as 84 million.

But now it’s all really true?

But at this moment, Tao Fa felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he had not ended up before, otherwise he would have exploded now.

But what followed was an inexplicable emotion.

84 million, used for CG animation!

Looking at the popularity of"Warcraft" on the Internet, Tao Fa couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It’s great to have money!

………………

On the other hand, after Chen Xu posted an official blog message, players and the gaming community were also actively discussing what type of game"Warcraft" is.

However, Chen Xu kept silent about this and still posted a few original concept drawings on his official blog every day.

Dwarves, humans, night elves, undead, and other races familiar to players in the Western fantasy genre were released by Chen Xu.

Players’ expectations are also rising day by day.

As time progressed, Tenghua and Yilong soon announced the launch time of their games in perfect agreement.

One is at the end of next month, and the other is in the middle of the month. Although the two games were initially promoted, they said they would fight to the death.

But when it came time to go online, they still avoided each other.

Of course there is another very important factor.

That is,"Warcraft" has announced the launch time in advance.

The first day of the month.

Log into the official game platform and Fengyun Games’ independent platform at the same time.

The official platform is priced at 98 yuan, while the Fengyun Game platform is priced at 78 yuan, because players can receive a 20 yuan coupon after registering an account.

This is also Chen Xu’s first step in promoting his own platform.

Although the actual game quality of"Warcraft" is not yet known.

But just because of this popularity, there is also the courage of Chen Xu to produce game CG animation with RMB 84 million.

It was enough to make Tao Fa and Xiang Dongliu retreat.

There is so much time in the schedule, and I gave it to you on the 1st, can’t we refund it?

However, according to the detailed information of"Warcraft" revealed by Chen Xu, all players, including the gaming industry, were stunned.

Not an RPG game, but an RTS? Real-Time Strategy! ?

After seeing this news, both players and game designers were confused.

Many game designers don't have much idea about Fengyun Games launching its own platform.

It’s a normal thing in the gaming industry.

Among second- and third-tier game manufacturers, who doesn’t have a platform?

After all, even if the official platform is online, 30% of the money received will be taken.

But for your own platform, apart from paying taxes and daily operations, you own whatever you sell.

So this is no surprise.

The most surprising thing is the game type of"Warcraft".

Before this, what type of game"Warcraft" was was also subject to extensive controversy.

But they can't escape the path of RPG.

After all, Chen Xu’s confidence and ambition can be seen just from the 84 million yuan he spent to produce game CG animations.

But now you tell them this is an RTS game?

You are making an RTS game, but how about spending 84 million on plot CG animation?

You really have too much money to burn!

It is an incredible feeling for countless game designers, and of course there is strong envy and hatred.

But for players, although they are surprised, they are not as shocked as various game designers.

Anyway, for them, the key is whether the game is fun or not, and although the RTS genre itself does not have as wide an audience as RPG and FPS, it is not too niche in this world.

There are also many popular RTS games on the market.

Of course, its size is average, and countless players are also very curious about what kind of RTS game Chen Xu's"Warcraft", which cost 84 million yuan to produce CG animation, is.

……………………

While players are full of expectations, within Fengyun Games, Chen Xu and the others are already experiencing the content of"Warcraft" every day.

"Mr. Chen, you are too strong! I strongly request that you only have 50% of your health!"

"Yes, and they don’t even recruit heroes!"

"Don’t give me a second degree in science and technology!"

"The population cannot exceed 60!"

In the office on the second floor, Chen Xu demolished all the bases of Qin Yi, Jincheng and Wang Yong. The three of them talked to each other, and Chen Xu, who was sitting in front of the computer, was speechless for a while.

"The three of you team up to beat me and you are so demanding, so you might as well surrender with both hands as you are not allowed to build buildings."Chen Xu said angrily.

If you beat the three of them, there is really no pressure on Chen Xu.

Although the three people in front of him are having fun, they are actually RTS rookies. The gameplay is basically to create heroes and minions. Then station troops A. What kind of micro-management? It doesn't exist.

In addition,"Warcraft" is much more complicated than other RTS on the market. If operation accounts for 4 points of the balance of victory and defeat, then tactical operation accounts for 4 points of the balance of victory and defeat. 6 points.

Chen Xu himself knows the content of the game quite well and knows all kinds of tactics.

Moreover, he has spent a lot of reaction potions on the system before. Chen Xu can beat three of them easily.

Of course, as for the map You need to choose a larger map, otherwise it will be difficult for him to develop. The opponent can come directly after leaving the barracks and following the hero. After chatting with a few people about the game, Chen Xu looked at Zhao Shan next to him. With Chen Qingzhu.

The two of them are obviously more concerned about the plot, even though these two plots have passed through their hands.

But the two of them are still very excited to experience the plot together.

Of course it is started. whosyourdaddy' situation.

This time, Chen Xu did not put"Warcraft" in the experience store in advance. The main reason is that this game has a relatively heavy task and needs to be kept strictly confidential.

And he himself has a content and gameplay of the game. , it is difficult to get feedback on the game content in the experience store.

Racial balance and hero balance, Chen Xu does not think that in just one or two weeks, some players will be able to master it and have correct suggestions.

You must know that in In the previous version of"Warcraft", after the Frozen Throne version was launched, its balance has been quite stable.

Different tactics of each race have ways to deal with them.

On the stage of Warcraft competition, the four major races also have players. Won the title of champion.

For this game, a slight adjustment represents a different change in the tactics of the entire game.

For example, the early orcs started with the prophet, but later after the death of the prophet's ghost wolf, The experience of the Orcs has been weakened.

Basically, the Orcs started with the Sword Master and went to other players' hometowns to harass a farmer.

Of course, there was also a period of balance decline in"Warcraft", that is, MOON was so powerful that with the help of Dark Night The elf race almost dominated the championship with 14 consecutive victories, which led to official weakening of it, which then caused the rest of the night elf players to suffer. However, MOON was still able to use the night elf to play tricks.

You can limit the powerful Race, but cannot limit powerful players.
