Genius Game Planning

Chapter 106 Magical modification of several web games

After arranging the follow-up development plan of Mo Sanguo Studio, Liu Neng took a look at the three web games made by Black Duck Studio. These three games, in a sense, may be the last three web games he produced. game.

After the popularization of smartphones, web games will quickly fall into a predicament. The web games that once occupied one-third of the country quickly declined in the era of smart mobile devices. In just three or four years, they have directly entered the category of marginal games. .

But now that smartphones are in the ascendant, Liu Neng wants to integrate some of his previous ideas into these three games.

The game "Cat Travels" is actually a very primitive mmo game, and those MMOs that can manipulate the movement of characters at will, "Cat Travels" is still moving in a grid, no matter how you think about it, it feels a bit out of place with games of this generation.After all, it has been three or four years since "Hot Blood" came from South Korea.The second generation of the rts game "Warcraft" is about to be released. Judging from some promotional videos that have been circulated, its quality has completely surpassed other similar games, both in terms of graphics and competitiveness.

And it is said that Tempest, the production company of "Warcraft", is now secretly producing an epoch-making mmorpg game.But so far no promotional pictures have flowed out, and everything is just word of mouth in the industry.As a first-line game manufacturer, the game of Storm Games represents the top level in the industry. Even if it is hidden like this, some interview clips revealed by it can make people feel excited.

Liu Neng's "Cat Travel Notes" can be said to be the opposite. The screen is as simple as possible, using a few "baozi" to represent the player's character.But the extremely simple screen can make the game content infinitely rich.Liu Neng even thought about making a word mud game, but finally gave up.The main reason is that it is too wise to play word games on the computer.

It’s just that this kind of idea has not been completely shelved for the time being. He is very interested in the idea. Maybe in the future, when smart phones are fully popularized, he will go back to make such a game and make a big fuss about the gameplay.

The game world of "Cat Travels" is very huge, at least Liu Neng made it very large. In addition to the original nine cities, another five cities were added, and the original story line was greatly expanded. Make the game more playable.Of course, there will also be some changes in game occupations. The main reason is that he can no longer remember all the occupation types in which game he played.However, some unique systems are still retained, including the part-time job system, battle royale gameplay, etc.Especially the Battle Royale gameplay. Playing "Battle Royale" in a grid-based game is fundamentally different from the chicken-eating games in the previous life. Although the mechanism looks simple, the gameplay is not lagging behind at all.

Liu Neng sometimes wonders whether the gameplay of those chicken-eating games in his previous life also borrowed from the battle royale of "Cat Travel Notes"?After all, the original version of the so-called poison ring, supply and other gameplay is almost exactly the same as Maoyouji.

The other two games also have a lot of magical changes.Of course, some core gameplay content still retains the original flavor, such as the setting of the only general on the server in "Hot Blood Three Kingdoms". Players are fundamentally different from other games when playing.

After playing a lot of card games, it may be no surprise that Guan Yu singled out Guan Yu.But how to say, it is still strange to play such a terrible thing in a game. "Three Kingdoms" has this feature. The only general mechanism allows players to fight for historical generals.The current games are all about robbing cities and expanding the game map as the main content of the game; but the core gameplay of "Three Kingdoms" produced by Liu Neng is to compete for the only general as the main game content.

In the later stage, it may be unavoidable that in cross-server battles, the same generals will appear in the same battle, but after all, within a limited time, in the same server, it is still possible for people to show off for a long time if they use Lu Bu or Guan Yu. for a period of time.

And as a krypton gold game, of course Liu Neng will not simply allow players to recruit the only military generals in history. These generals will cost a lot of money to recruit, and even after they are recruited, they still need to spend money to maintain relationships. Watching helplessly as his loyalty to you gradually decreases and finally goes out.

When Liu Neng thought about these gameplays, he already had a vague concept.Now seeing that they have gradually started to do it, some ideas gradually became clearer, so I simply stayed in Guanghua City for two more days, and delivered my ideas and design ideas to Peng Shuang in written documents, so that he could continue refinement.

There has always been a market for page games SLG games, otherwise many game companies would not have gathered to make them. For example, "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" by the third-tier small factory Qicai Technology is such a game.However, "Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period" has not been able to escape the pattern of the web game SLG that has always been played, and the main gameplay is to compete for cities. Some of Liu Neng's thinking has been added to "Three Kingdoms", otherwise the previous "world trend" system will still be retained to establish a sense of purpose for players. In addition to the setting of "the only historical general", there are also a series of randomly generated generals, of course, they are also divided into various qualities. Some generals' four dimensions are even higher than those of some "only historical generals".However, the "only military general" has his own unique skills, which are beyond the reach of ordinary generals.

After confirming these contents, it will be relatively smooth to form a specific plan, and then connect with Peng Shuang.Although I don't understand, but fortunately, the relationship between the two is very good, and they can communicate in real time. It's not like the general relationship between the boss and the employees. I dare not ask.There is no such situation in the relationship between Liu Neng and Peng Shuang.

After confirming that the development here is on the right track, Liu Neng set off for Shanghai, the Shanghai city again.While on the road, he was still wondering if he had made himself a little too busy and tired.But the good thing is that it looks busy and doesn't actually work overtime until late at night every day. There is enough time to recuperate, and there is no major mental problem.

Therefore, the 996 work system is indeed a devil. Perhaps on the surface, most urban young people really go to bed after 11 o'clock, as if they can go to bed at 11 o'clock after get off work at nine o'clock in the evening.However, the state of being exhausted physically and mentally without any space and time for one's own life cannot last for too long.It is as if there is always a string in the human brain that is only stretched, and the looseness can make the string last longer; if it is kept tight, it will age quickly. Once a more urgent situation occurs, this string will A stretched string is easily broken.
