Chapter 189 Absolutely Can't Catch Fire

On Weibo, there are also a lot of people x-on:chen mo.

"I found a good map "Sacred Realm", and give an official recommendation. This map is really fun."

"The same recommended map "Sacred Realm"."

"x-on:陈 Mo, it's New Year's Eve, it's time to develop a new game! Don't be lazy, my wallet is already hungry!"

"x-on:chen Mo, ask for a conscience work similar to "Warcraft", please don't bully my wallet with krypton gold games!"

Chen Mo flipped through these x-on:him comments, and was a little surprised. I didn't expect that he still has quite a few die-hard fans.

And there are still many people here who are looking forward to the emergence of new boutique games.

Chen Mo thought for a while and decided to share some information with you.

He sent a Weibo, the content is very simple.

"The new game is RPG, stand-alone game, Western fantasy."

Then there is a concept map: Under a dark and gloomy sky, the dim candlelight in Tristram Cathedral is faintly visible, which is very eerie. A traveler looked up at the sky, where a meteor pierced the sky and fell in the direction of the cathedral.

Not long after this Weibo was posted, the comments below exploded instantly!

"Fuck! Look what I've posted, Chen Mo's new Weibo!"

"Come on here, Chen Mo is going to make a PC game again, hurry up, buy it and leave. Guess what game it is this time?"

"Are you stupid upstairs? Didn't Chen Mo already tell you about the Western Fantasy-themed stand-alone RPG, so there's no way to be more detailed!"

"Judging from this picture, isn't the atmosphere too gloomy? It feels very weird. This church feels like a cemetery..."

"Yeah, if you look closely next to this church, you can still see a tombstone. In the church window, there seems to be a shadow of a skeleton."

"It has something to do with the undead in Warcraft?"

"It's not like that. From the perspective of art style, it seems to be much more gloomy than "Warcraft", more like that kind of particularly dark medieval style."

"Looking forward, Chen Mo is finally going to make an RPG game!"

"Unfortunately it's not an online game,

It's a stand-alone game, so it should be pretty boring to play. "

"Not necessarily. If you want to be optimistic about the plot, you still have to play single-player games. Besides, ordinary designers first make single-player RPGs to gain experience and popularity, and then make online game RPGs more secure."

"Yes, anyway, Chen Mo produced it, it must be a fine product, just wait!"

"Hey, I thought he was going to do an RPG version of Warcraft, but it wasn't. What a pity."

"Who knows, maybe he has his own ideas, I also want to play the RPG of "Warcraft"!"

Soon, the news spread in the industry.

"Have you heard that Chen Mo's new game is a PC-side, stand-alone RPG, Western fantasy theme."

"I heard that, let's take a breath."

"how?"

"Fortunately, he no longer plays mobile games, giving us a way to live!"

"But I'm developing PC games, who gave me a way to live?"

"Okay, you can see clearly, this time Chen Mo is developing a single-player game, focus on it, the single-player game is OK?"

"Oh, stand-alone game, then I'm a little more at ease."

"Single-player games are good, but the ability to attract money is limited. It seems that Chen Mo's plan this time is the same as "Warcraft".

"Then you have to be careful. In case of a collision with his game, it will definitely have an impact. Hurry up and study it."

"The picture has been released on Weibo again! The name of the game is "Diablo", and this perspective does not seem to be a first-person perspective."

Many designers are following Chen Mo's Weibo, and the new Weibo has been studied as soon as it is published.

The new Weibo is also very simple. It is marked with the game name "Diablo", and there is a picture below it, which is a 45-degree angle of God's perspective. A barbarian holding a double axe is fighting countless skeletons and demons.

"It doesn't seem to be a first-person perspective, he is planning to do a third-person perspective?"

"There is a possibility that the third person is easier to control than the first. This is the first time he has made an RPG theme, and it is normal to seek stability."

"That's actually okay. Third-person games are becoming less and less popular now, and they are no longer mainstream. His game shouldn't lose money, but it certainly won't be a hit."

"Yes, I can roughly guess Chen Mo's plan. It's too risky to play a first-person online game, so I'll make a third-person stand-alone RPG to transition. As for the selling point, it's mainly the plot and themes."

"I also think so, he is making a game specially for those players who love to play Western fantasy themes. It happens that this part of the players and the "Warcraft" player group are highly overlapped, and the sales are guaranteed."

"It's a false alarm. But I think it's a pity, doesn't this mean that Chen Mo admits to counseling? Thinking about how domineering he was when he was doing "Warcraft" and "Legion Conquest", he is probably worried about his lack of ability now. compromised."

"Let me say one point, I don't know if you have noticed, the color matching of his two original paintings."

"Color matching?"

"Well, the colors are dark, and very dark."

"Oh, he might be trying to create this terrifying, eerie atmosphere."

"That's not what I said. It's okay to create an atmosphere, but with such a dark color scheme, coupled with the terrifying scenes and music, the sense of immersion is strong, but how tiring is it to play? Look at the current mainstream online games, I don’t dare to do such a dark scene at all, just because I’m afraid that players will feel depressed after playing for a long time.”

"So that's what happened, I've been taught!"

"So, Chen Mo obviously made a mistake that he took for granted. He wanted to take the sword and make such a unique Western fantasy game, but he didn't think about whether the players would accept it, especially It's the art style, it's too hard! Look at Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment and Zen Entertainment, which big company dares to do this?"

"Amazing, big brother, I have benefited a lot from your analysis!"

"I think, Chen Mo's game will definitely be profitable, but it's not much, so it just recovered the cost, and it's incomparable to those hits made in the past. Maybe it's very popular in a certain small circle, but it's definitely not popular. stand up."

"That's fine, then I'm relieved!"

...

Regarding Chen Mo's new game, the industry and player groups are discussing it, but most people still think they are not optimistic.

This is also very simple, because the stand-alone RPG from the third-person perspective is basically one of the oldest game types. This thing is about to become the tears of the times, and it will be eliminated sooner or later.

Moreover, the potential of this type of game has been almost tapped. Now it is the world of first-person perspective online games. It is a question of how many players there are still in this old-fashioned stand-alone RPG game.
