Chapter 133 The New Version of "Warcraft"
After getting the new version of the planning document, Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi and Qian Kun started to get busy.
In fact, these RPG maps are not the most classic, nor the most balanced, so why did Chen Mo make these maps?
Because these maps represent several major branches of the later Warcraft RPG, they are the prototype of the classic Warcraft RPG, which not only allows players to experience the fun of the Warcraft RPG, but also does not go too far at once, so that the players' thinking restricted.
You know, the RPG map of Warcraft has bred monsters like DOTA. Chen Mo doesn't want the RPG map he made to give designers some strange inspiration and shoot himself in the foot.
Defensive map: "Guarding Athena".
The defensive map is very simple, but it contains the core elements of Warcraft RPG: hero matching and hero training. Over time, the attacking monsters will become stronger and stronger, and the way players pass the level is to find the best match among many heroes and many items.
Tower defense map: "Tower Defense".
In fact, this map is derived from the classic tower defense of the previous life such as the loop. The core fun of tower defense is similar to the defensive map, the difference is that players need to choose a location to build a tower, and the core is changed from a hero to a defensive tower.
Leisure map: "The Great Escape from the Pyramids".
This picture can be said to be a masterpiece of casual maps. Players can choose from dozens of game modes at will, and avoid various organs by walking to achieve victory.
Confrontation map: "Chenghai 3C".
In fact, Chenghai 3C is very primitive compared to DOTA. Its biggest problem is imbalance, but its biggest charm is also imbalance. Many players like to play the perverted version of "Chenghai 3C", precisely because of its imbalance.
At the same time, because the player can manipulate multiple heroes, it dilutes some of this imbalance a bit, making it a very entertaining map.
Chen Mo only intends to develop these four classic RPG maps, the other maps are left to players to ponder freely.
...
The development of the new version did not take too long, and it was basically completed in less than two weeks.
There are many maps in the campaign of "Warcraft". All three of them have made it before. They are very familiar with the world editor. It is not difficult to make these RPG maps. The main time is spent on adjusting hero skills and setting levels. above the difficulty.
Chen Mo specially reminded that the hero skills in the RPG map must be completely different from those in the battle mode, which should not only conform to the characteristics of the hero, but also make new ideas.
These three people were basically thinking hard, but in the process, they also expanded their imagination a little, and it was very interesting.
In particular, Qian Kun was basically in charge of the various designs of "Chenghai 3C", and as a whole reproduced the level of the previous life, Chen Mo was quite satisfied.
Chen Mo finally checked the completion of the three maps and said, "Okay, that's it."
Su Jinyu: "Yes! Done!"
Zheng Hongxi: "But it doesn't seem to be difficult."
Qian Kun said: "Store manager, I feel that this version update has little content. Although it seems to be quite fun, will the players be satisfied? I always feel that the maps this time are better than the previous game content. It's too far up."
Chen Mo said: "Don't worry. Hongxi, write the version update instructions, and then release the new version."
Soon, the version update instructions were written, and Su Jinyu released the new version and update instructions simultaneously.
There are not many updates this time, only one CG has been updated, some basic settings have been enriched, and four RPG maps have been added.
For CG, it is mainly because the production cycle is long, so it can only be updated one by one. If the CG is removed, these new contents are less than 1M.
Only in terms of capacity, it is slightly shabby.
Oh, it should be said to be very shabby.
Of course, if you want to expand the capacity, you can make a new campaign. However, players' interest is now mainly focused on online battles, and there is not much demand for new battles, so Chen Mo didn't do it.
For this version update, Chen Mo did not plan to charge, including the subsequent map production, Chen Mo did not plan to charge.
Because the updated game content is very small, if it is charged in the form of DLC, it will be too boring, definitely not.
Alternatively, a map fee model can be adopted. For example, after a player makes a good RPG map, other players will spend 1~2 yuan to play the map, and the money will be divided into half by Chen Mo and the original author.
Chen Mo thought about it for a while, but did not adopt this charging model.
The reason is very simple. These maps must not be charged at the beginning, otherwise the popularity will definitely not rise, but if the subsequent charging is very tricky, players will be very strange.
Therefore, the map fee is good for the producers, but it will seriously dampen their enthusiasm for the players, which is contrary to Chen Mo's idea of making a Warcraft RPG map.
Chen Mo did the Warcraft RPG map not for the healthy development of the game industry, but only to further stimulate the sales of the game "Warcraft".
RPG maps are very suitable for friends to hack together. Chen Mo did this mainly to let the game "Warcraft" spread from the RTS game player group to the surrounding area, so that these people can also pull in friends and colleagues. , one more is one more sales.
Moreover, the RPG map is also to further prolong the vitality of the game "Warcraft", UU reading www.uukanshu. com let its influence slowly spread, ferment, and pave the way for future PC games.
...
After simple preparatory work, the new version of "Warcraft" is officially updated!
This new version update is relatively low-key, only a new version of the update instructions have been issued, and nothing else.
So many players only found out that the game has silently updated a new version when they log in to the game.
"Hey? There is a new version? This Chen Mo's work efficiency is very fast!"
"Yeah, "Warcraft" is developing very well now, and there are no balance problems, so why not release a new version so soon?"
"Conscience! Wow, is this the Chen Mo I know? I'm almost moved to tears!"
"Yeah, why did my conscience suddenly find out?"
"Quick, let's see what the content is?"
Soon, after checking the specific update content, the players began to shout out.
"I rub, what did I see? A CG, some setting options updated, a few new maps???"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Damn it, this is also considered a new version? Chen Mo, is there any difference between our two understandings of the new version?"
"It's okay, there's no charge..."
"Damn it, this dogecoin is still charged? Is there any justice? Is there any law? Huh?"
"Updated with a new CG, I watched it, it's great!"
"So, the new CG is the only useful thing in this version update..."
"This, Leiting Interactive Entertainment is going to transform into Leiting Film Studio?"
"Are you a game company or a movie company!!"
