An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 303 E-sports?

That night, say night thought a lot.

And that vague concept gradually became clear under his constant speculation.

Not only that, he also gave this concept a good name that is easy to understand.

Namely, esports!

Acronym for Esports!

The idea of ​​"e-sports" came about after he uploaded the guide about Warcraft.

With his position in the live broadcast area of ​​station B, it is not a problem to invite a few big anchors who are good at playing games to play a game together.

Even for the sake of traffic, many friends will sell his face.

The question now is whether his ideas will receive official support.

It would be the best if it could get official support. After all, Yunmeng Group is a company with a valuation of hundreds of millions, and its strength must be much stronger than that of a mere anchor.

And if the official doesn't have this plan, it doesn't matter, it's perfectly fine for him to play the game himself.

Anyway, sponsorship is definitely not to worry about.

Such an interesting thing, his big brother and good brother will definitely not miss it.

Even if Bian Hang is not interested, it is no problem for him to pay the money himself.

There is no need to worry about the enjoyment of the game. After the game becomes popular, players basically don't have to worry about it.

His intuition told him that if he could make this event bigger, it might not only recover the investment cost, but also make him a lot of money.

...

Just when a certain hardcore player was thinking about how to make this game as hardcore as him, Mr. Hao, who designed this game, was trying to add some entertainment to this hardcore game. sex.

Competitive games have a characteristic, that is, as the gameplay continues to be developed, the threshold of the game will become higher and higher, and it will become less and less friendly to new players.

It takes half an hour or even an hour to decide the winner in a close match, but it may take 20 minutes to play gg in a crushing game.

Under such circumstances, the loser must have no game experience, and even lose too much and may not play the online mode.

From the perspective of a developer, Hao Yun certainly hopes that more hard-core gameplay can be developed by players themselves, but he does not want these gameplay to become a barrier to entry, so that the game lobby for all players It becomes the private plot of a small number of players.

A truly excellent game must be able to find a balance between the two.

That is, players who are keen on competition can find their opponents, and recreational players can also find their own fun in the game.

And this is what Hao Yun really wants to see.

It is precisely for this reason that he personally used the map editor to make three maps.

The gameplay of these three maps can definitely be called unconventional compared to the official map, but it will not squeeze the gameplay and creativity too hard.

After all, his original intention was just to attract new ideas and guide players to develop more ways to play, instead of letting him take over all the maps in the entire game area by himself.

Therefore, the three maps he chose are also quite representative.

One is the classic DT tower defense map, the human race is invincible.

The other is the defensive map that was popular on the server in the early days, guarding Athena.

And in the end, the map he devoted the most energy to was Chenghai 3C.

In fact, before making this map, Hao Yun considered whether to skip 3C altogether and directly make MOBA maps such as Dota and True Three.

When unlocking the memory of Warcraft, many classic maps are also unlocked along with the memory of Warcraft.

And DOTA is one of them.

However, after some careful consideration, Hao Yun finally gave up on this idea.

Or to be more precise, postpone the idea.

The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, the original intention of expanding the entertainment of Warcraft, and on the other hand, it is mainly out of consideration for the acceptance of players.

After all, for Warcraft players at this stage, the mainstream gameplay they are keen on is still based on RTS, and a game concept that is too advanced may not be able to achieve the same success in an era that does not belong to him.

Compared with directly making MOBA maps, it is undoubtedly a good choice to use the early 3C maps for transition.

After all, as a simplified version of "Warcraft", 3C maps can still be regarded as the category of RTS games, but the gameplay has changed from taking into account the overall situation to "only needing" to control multiple hero units to fight against in three lanes.

This unique way of playing can be regarded as an intermediate product in the transitional stage between RTS games and MOBA game design concepts, and the gameplay is closer to the original gameplay of Warcraft.

At the same time, Chenghai’s hero pool is much shallower than Dota’s. The fate room and dungeon settings also make this map more entertaining than Dota, which emphasizes more on competition. At the same time, the threshold for entering the pit will also be lower relatively low.

"...I just don't know if players in the parallel world can accept these interesting gameplays."

Hao Yun, who was sitting in front of the computer, uploaded three maps designed by himself in the creative workshop with the ID "hao12345", and then sent an email to Li Zongzheng, asking this guy to make these three maps popular for him once. recommend.

At this stage, Warcraft is still in the wasteland development period. Players do not have a deep understanding of the functions of the map editor, and there are relatively few self-made maps, and the gameplay is relatively conservative.

Therefore, not long after the three maps he made were uploaded, they were downloaded tens of thousands of times under the strong push of the creative workshop, and the shadows of the three games began to appear in the game lobby.

To Hao Yun's surprise, he originally thought that there would be more people playing Guardian Athena, but he didn't expect that after a while, the tower defense map "Human Invincible" appeared the most frequently among the three maps, and Chenghai 3C The number of players is the lowest, and even only a few rooms are playing.

Sure enough, for Warcraft players at this stage, it is not acceptable to play with too high a threshold.

And this problem can only be solved by time.

Exiting the game, stretching Hao Yun was about to turn off the computer, but at this moment he suddenly noticed that the private messages in the background of the account were swiped to 99+ at some point.

Among them are applications for adding friends, as well as simple private messages from strangers.

"Brother, it's a blast!"

"Human Emperor!!!"

"Hahahaha, do you know? Last night you abused Ye Shen. (dog head)"

"Ye Shen shaved his head! Don't you go to the live broadcast room to pay attention? (Funny)"

"Great God! I want to worship you as my teacher!"

"Fuck! Today tmd opened two games, and when I met the three militias at the beginning of the human race, I forced me to start two games."

"Be honest, are you an insider, such as a game planner? (Dog head)"

Seeing these private messages, Hao Yun was slightly taken aback.

He did play two games last night, and he picked out the top ten online players on the ladder and sniped them next to each other.

He did play the Three Militia Arrow Tower once, but it was only that one time.

So, the guy I was fighting against was an anchor? And still a big anchor?

What a coincidence!

Of course, it was one of the private messages that caught his attention the most.

"Ye Shen said in the live broadcast room last night that he plans to hold an online competition, you must come, big brother."
