#212 - MOBA games in their infancy
"Boss, there's an event in the 'Undertale' forum..."
After their explanation, Wang Jian finally understood the reason.
Although 'Undertale' was only released recently, a group of players who deeply loved the game had already established a forum dedicated to discussing the game's plot, favorite characters, and various Easter eggs.
This time, the forum moderator, 'Ting Tian You Ming', personally funded a fan art collection event. The forum users would vote, and the excellent artwork would be printed into posters and given to the participating artists and some lucky netizens.

Everyone genuinely loved the game, and although the rewards weren't particularly valuable, their desire to create was high, and they actively participated in the event. Wang Jian roughly looked at it, and there were already over a hundred artists who had submitted their work.
"Wow, these are true fans!" Wang Jian couldn't help but exclaim, and called over the operations manager, "Here, this is the 'Undertale' game forum established by the players themselves. There's a fan art collection event going on. Go and communicate with the moderator. We'll cover the event expenses, and set up more reward tiers. For example, compile a piano score of the game's BGM, combine it with these illustrations to create a beautiful booklet, something with collectible value."
"Okay!" The operations manager went to make arrangements.
Wang Jian continued to wander around the office.β
Walking to Luo Shuai and Bai Li Ao's side, the two seemed to be playing some kind of online game, their faces tense, the sound of "da da da" keyboard taps and crisp mouse clicks incessant.
Luo Shuai was controlling a strong ogre wielding a giant wolf-tooth club, throwing the club at a fish monster holding a staff, who looked quite wretched. The fish monster was chanting a spell, but was hit by the club, and dizzy stars immediately appeared above its head.
"Damn, I stunned the enemy's fish-man wizard! Lao Ao, quickly kill him together!"
After speaking, he controlled the ogre to rush up, smashing the fish-man wizard's head with the club again and again.
Bai Li Ao, controlling a horned, red-skinned demon, also rushed over from the other side, responding repeatedly, "Good stun! Watch my magma jet!"
After speaking, the demon's eyes flashed red, and a stream of scorching flames spewed from its mouth, leaving a trail of magma on the ground. The fish-man wizard stepped on it, and blood continuously dropped from its head.
In contrast, Bai Li Ao's horned demon, stepping on the magma path, moved even faster, accelerating forward.
Rushing to the front, he waved his steel fork, stab! Stab!
The fish-man wizard finally recovered from the stun, frantically wagging its tail and fleeing towards the defensive tower behind, but under the ogre and red demon's siege, it was killed before it could escape to the tower.β¦β¦βββ¦β¦
A golden +300 floated above the ogre's head, Luo Shuai had secured the kill.
Luo Shuai excitedly said, "Beautiful! This fish-man wizard is so sneaky, he never fights me head-on, just whittles down my health bit by bit, making me so uncomfortable. Luckily I had your help this time, finally killed him, so satisfying!"
Bai Li Ao chuckled, "I also got some money, just enough to go home and buy a magic blade, then I can go back to the top lane!"
Wang Jian watched for a while from the side and asked in surprise, "What game is this?"
Although the content of this game is still very rough, you can already see the prototype of a MOBA game!
Hero battles, last-hitting, buying equipment, defensive towers, the goal is to destroy the enemy's crystal...
Luo Shuai described with gusto, "This is an older RTS game from abroad called 'Age of Mythology'. Its popularity was generally average, and it was even less well-known in China. However, recently a master has developed a MOD based on a map from 'Age of Mythology', called 'Dawn Battlefield', allowing players to control the hero units in the game to fight. This MOD is even more fun than the game itself, and it immediately became popular!"
Bai Li Ao also excitedly said, "In the past two days, even some of our domestic players have heard of this game, and their downloads are specifically for 'Dawn Battlefield'! It hasn't even been translated into Chinese yet. If 'Dawn Battlefield' is translated, I estimate even more people will play it! Boss, wait for us to finish this game, and you can play with us too, it's very fun!"
Wang Jian said with interest, "Okay!"
This game ultimately ended in defeat for Luo Shuai's side. The opponent had a fairy female assassin wielding daggers and wearing night clothes, whose equipment was so luxurious that she killed people like a ghost. People on this side often died inexplicably without even seeing her shadow.
Luo Shuai said dejectedly, "Damn! We had such a big advantage in the mid lane, it's all our bottom lane's fault for feeding the enemy's Shadow Assassin so much!"
Wang Jian smiled without saying a word. In fact, Luo Shuai's mid lane only had a two-kill advantage over the enemy's fish-man wizard, which wasn't much.
In his understanding, this female assassin hero was somewhat similar to Talon, the Shadow Assassin, in 'League of Legends'. Both were high-burst assassins with stealth skills.
Talon, the Shadow Assassin, seemed to be quite strong at the beginning, but because his snowballing ability was very strong, once he started killing, the opponent had no power to resist. Squishy targets like marksmen basically melted instantly when they encountered him, so he was nerfed again and again in later versions.
And the Shadow Assassin in 'Dawn Battlefield' clearly lacked sufficient balance in its design.
Wang Jian sat down at the computer next to them, and after messing around for half a day according to the instructions, he finally installed the game and the MOD: "Come on, let's start?"
"Boss, you don't even understand the basic content of this game yet!"
Luo Shuai and Bai Li Ao stood on either side of Wang Jian, acting as teachers and guiding him to open the 'Dawn Battlefield' introduction interface: "Boss, look, this game has three lanes: top, middle, and bottom. After spawning, you'll appear in the fountain, then choose your lane. Generally, it's a 2-1-2 distribution!"
"Does no one go jungling?"
Luo Shuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Boss, although killing jungle monsters can earn gold, the jungle monsters are very strong. Basic heroes can't challenge them before level 3. After level 3, they can fight them, but it's time-consuming and laborious. It's only easier to fight after level 6. So basically, unless they're bored or just short on money to buy equipment, no one wants to go jungling."
Wang Jian nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the author of 'Dawn Battlefield' hadn't realized that they could make deeper use of the large jungle area, and just put a few groups of monsters inside to enrich the content.
However, the 'Dawn Battlefield' MOD was said to be created by a master from abroad single-handedly. It's normal to have shortcomings. It's already quite good to have this level of completion.
