An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 336 Inspiration for a new game

The IP has been selected, but for Hao Yun, this is just the beginning.

No matter how optimistic he is about the performance of shooting games in the early stages of the development of the e-sports industry, it is also a fact that "Operation Counter-Terrorism" ended in dismal sales.

If this problem is not solved, everything is useless.

After all, how much Yunmeng Group can get from Rice Entertainment depends entirely on the profits brought by this new work.

In order to solve this problem, Hao Yun went to the Dianqu platform and downloaded this old game from 5 years ago.

The server of the game is basically gone, only a few old players are still persisting.

The matching buttons basically failed, and there were only a handful of rooms waiting for players in the game lobby, and there were even many room names with bright advertisements, but no one dealt with them.

In order not to waste time, Hao Yun randomly entered a 10-person room, making enough for 4 people on each side.

Originally, there were still two vacancies left, but the owner obviously didn't want to wait any longer, so he clicked to start.

The loading speed of the game is very fast, and the match was entered within two seconds.

Looking at the detailed picture on the screen and the texture details of the walls, water surface and other models, Hao Yun nodded approvingly.

"The picture is not bad, it is worthy of being a studio under the Rice Group, and it doesn't feel bad at all when it costs money."

"The firearms are quite realistic, and the balance of the map seems to be quite satisfactory. I can't find any major problems for the time being."

unscientific...

The game is clearly doing okay.

But why is it cold all of a sudden?

Hao Yun was also a little confused for a while.

The rule of the game is unlimited resurrection, whichever kills 50 people first will be the winner.

Less than a minute after the start of the game, all the teammates died for a round, and Hao Yun was still standing at home.

Perhaps because he noticed the guy standing there motionless and hanging up the phone, the elder brother of the homeowner walked up to him while waving a knife, and said on the microphone of the nearby people.

"Brother, why are you standing here? Is there a bug?"

Hao Yun thought for a while and answered ambiguously.

"I'm a newbie, and I'm not yet familiar with the operation of this game."

"This game can have a hairy operation... But by the way, are you really a newbie?"

Hearing Hao Yun claiming to be Mengxin, that person seemed to have discovered a new world, Mai Li's voice was full of surprise, regardless of the ongoing game, and asked, "There will be Mengxin in this broken game? Just kidding."

"You sound surprised."

The homeowner brother said with a smile.

"You must be surprised. This game has been cold for many years. Let alone newcomers, there are not many old players left."

"But aren't you still playing?"

"I just come here occasionally to have a look, I don't play often," the homeowner said with a smile, "Isn't it popular to play World of Warcraft now? I mainly play that, and recently I joined a team for fun. There is a saying One, that game is really addicting to play, I recommend you to go for the next one, anyway, it’s not expensive, it’s only in the early 100s, and the discount is even less than 100. But the game can’t be found on the e-game platform, so I have to come up with an idea Workshop."

It's okay to recommend to me...

The expression on Hao Yun's face was a little subtle, and he changed the subject and continued to ask.

"Let's not talk about Warcraft... This game is obviously not bad, why is it so cold?"

"There are many reasons," the homeowner sighed, and continued, "Of course, in my opinion, the main reason is that it's too boring."

"Bored?" Hao Yun asked in an unexpected voice.

"That's right," the homeowner continued rather helplessly, "Even old players like us want to complain about this. Although the design of the firearms is hardcore and the graphics are pretty good, the gameplay is too simple. Whoever kills 50 first wins, or saves the hostages, but basically no hostages can survive to the end. Then in the past two years, a bomb disposal mode has been updated, but basically no one plays it.”

Hao Yun said.

"This... doesn't sound boring, does it?"

"The problem is that there are too many games like this," the homeowner sighed, and continued, "Anti-terrorist operations, front-line raids, crossing the flames of war... as far as I can name these games, they are basically played in this way. It’s nothing more than a special police officer becoming a special soldier, changing the soup without changing the medicine, and it was released in the same issue! I reckon that if there are not so many similar cousins, these games may not cool down so quickly.”

Games of the same type are released together in the same schedule, and it is indeed easy to overdraw the potential of this type.

Hao Yun didn't know what happened five years ago, nor did he know how similar other games of the same category were to the game in front of him.

But seeing how understanding my brother is, why not ask him what he thinks.

Ever since, Hao Yun asked a question.

"Then how do you think this game should be changed to make it more fun?"

Almost without thinking, the elder brother of the house owner said in an affirmative tone.

"This game is hopeless, no matter how you change it, it can't be saved, unless the whole thing is overthrown and redone."

Hao Yun said.

"……for example?"

The elder brother of the homeowner said.

"Take the salvage system as an example! Are the robbers standing there with guns and confronting the police stupid? Can't they use local materials to build fortifications or something? I won't say what to bury There are landmines or remote-controlled bombs, if it’s really impossible, it’s better to install a few cameras in the corner!”

Hearing this sentence, Hao Yun's eyes lit up, he quickly took a piece of note paper from the desk, and took a pen to write a line on it.

"... Repairing fortifications sounds interesting... But if it's a confrontation game, won't this break the balance a bit?"

"Hey, what's the matter, the big deal is to get a drone for the police. Besides, you can build fortifications, and I can just use a demolition device to dismantle them. This way, not only the balance is improved, but the gameplay is also rich. Isn't it beautiful?"

"Talent, brother," Hao Yun couldn't help admiring, "I've broadened my thinking when you say that. You can build fortifications, so why not just set up a few occupations, some occupations can put explosion-proof walls, and some It can launch drones, and it can also carry heavy armor or shields to attack from the front, or supporters with fixed weapons."

"Niufu! You have a bigger brain than I do," the owner of the house continued happily, "I don't think it's better than this, why don't you get any professions, just get a few characters that can be upgraded, and develop RPG ideas Set it in. Players can choose which operator to send in each game. Different operators have different occupations, and they can configure equipment freely. It is outrageous to buy guns only after entering the game. Come in to save money and manage money.”

Anyway, he was bragging, and he didn't bother to think about whether it could be realized.

However, these seemingly daydreaming speeches, in Hao Yun's ears, really made his eyes brighter, and his speed of taking notes became faster and faster.

What is recorded in it is not only the suggestion of the elder brother of the homeowner, but also an idea generated by himself.

In addition, don't call the new work Anti-Terrorist Operation 2, and directly change it to "Anti-Terrorist Operation: Siege".

Originally, the previous work didn't have many fans at all. Instead of carrying such a big burden, it's better to go into battle lightly.

"That makes sense! Why didn't the development team of Rice Entertainment think of asking for your opinion?"

"Ghost knows," the homeowner brother said helplessly, "Maybe the market is too small to care about hardcore players like us."

His mouth was dry, he paused for a moment, and continued in a rather melancholy voice.

"One thing to say, it would be great if this game could really be made... I really like playing shooting games, but I haven't seen a new one in the past two years. It's even cooler than text adventure games."

Text adventure games are not cool.

The love and producer who worked in the game agency in the past has a lot of turnover every month.

Hao Yun smiled and said comfortingly.

"There will be, it's no big deal, let's do it ourselves."

"Hehe, it's not that simple to play a game," said the homeowner brother with a smile, "Let's stop daydreaming, the two of us have been hanging up here, and the teammates on the front line have become 2v4."

"Forget about the game for now...Brother, from your accent, it should be from Jiangcheng, right?"

"My hometown is indeed Jiangcheng, but now I'm working in Shanghai... What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, are you interested in working in Yunmeng Group?" Hao Yun said seriously, "It's really a shame that you can't play games with your brain!"
