Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Faced with a protest from online players, Chen Xu soon posted a message on his official blog

"《There is no problem with the balance in"Warcraft". Each race has its own unique tactics and gameplay. There is only the strongest player, not the strongest race. I will broadcast"Warcraft" live on the Shark TV platform on Saturday. Use this to create a balanced presentation."

When Chen Xu's message was sent out, players quickly noticed this official blog.

After all, these days, both game designers and players in the game industry have been paying attention to Fengyun Games and Chen Xu. An official blog account of.

I want to see how it responds.

Game designers in the gaming industry want to see how Chen Xu responds to this balance incident.

Players just want a satisfactory answer, such as making immortality The family and the night elves have been strengthened.

Before this, both players and some game designers in the industry have thought about what kind of model Chen Xu would use to solve this problem. There is a balance problem, actually. , it is very serious to say it is serious, but it is not serious to say it is not serious.

The key still depends on how the game manufacturer responds.

Faced with the situation of balance problems, generally speaking, game designers publicly express an apology to the players, and then quickly Respond to it and make an adjustment to the value, and the matter will be over.

As for the subsequent leveling and imbalance, it will take a period of testing.

After all, balance requires constant adjustment.

Every time There will always be strengths and weaknesses in adjustments. Many game designers and even some hard-core players are aware of this matter. Therefore, this time around the so-called balance issue of"Warcraft", many great masters in the RTS circle actually have He didn't make any radical remarks, he just expressed a suggestion and his own opinion online.

Therefore, most game designers, including players, thought that Chen Xu should give feedback immediately, saying that the undead or the undead should be strengthened. Weakening the Orcs and Humans.

But they never expected that Chen Xu would actually play such a trick.

Play"Warcraft" live to prove the balance problem of"Warcraft"?

What kind of operation is this!

You are a game designer Ah!

Could it be that Chen Xu was worried about his face and was too strong, so he did this?

After all, since Chen Xu’s debut, the game"Undertale" has been smooth sailing.

But that’s not right!

From Chen Xu’s past operations Judging from the results, the other party is obviously not such an impulsive young man.

In an instant, many game designers who are paying attention to the game industry are a little confused at this time.

Players are also confused.

In an instant, players online who know the news are It immediately became a hot topic

"Let me go, if I understand correctly, does Chen Xu want to play"Warcraft" live to prove that the game balance is okay?"

"No way, no way, Chen Xu really thinks he is better than those professional players?"

"After all, Chen Xu is also a game designer, so he must have a unique understanding, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. The idea of ​​game values ​​​​is good, but the real balance must still be tried in actual combat."

"The live broadcast hasn't even been broadcast yet, so why are you so sure that Chen Xu can't do it? I think Chen Xu must be confident when he says this."

"I have a hammer, but I feel like I just don’t want to admit that there is something wrong with my game’s values. How can he understand balance better than professional players?"

"Why can't you understand? Chen Xu is the game designer!"

"You are just kidding, Chen Xu is just a gamer, he knows nothing about"Warcraft"》！"

Players online argue and chatter endlessly.

Mainly divided into three camps.

Those in the show-watching camp are waiting for Chen Xu to give an accurate answer during a live broadcast that day.

In addition, there are some players who believe in Chen Xu. They feel that if Chen Xu dares to say this, he will definitely not be aimless. Maybe he really has some useful information?

After all, he is a game designer.

The remaining players felt that Chen Xu probably didn't want to admit that there was a problem with the game's balance.

After all, it’s not like this has never happened before. The official is stubborn and said that there is no problem with balance and it is your players’ problem.

……………………

In the office of Fengyun Games, a group of people were browsing the forum during the lunch break.

Mainly to read the content of a current message on the Internet

"Many people on the Internet have questioned, Qin Yi, do you think Mr. Chen is really good at playing"Warcraft"?"Zhao Shan asked Qin Yi.

Chen Qingzhu also looked at Qin Yi

"I don’t know about this, but it’s okay to beat me, Jincheng and Wang Yong."Qin Yi scratched his head and said.

After all, Chen Xu has never played the game in front of him many times. That is, during the previous development, he hung the three of them up during an internal test.

"So what are your technical levels like?"Chen Qingzhu asked

"So-so, probably around 1500 points."Qin Yi coughed lightly.

1500 points? It sounds quite high! Is Mr. Chen really strong?

After hearing Qin Yi's words, Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu showed unexpected expressions.

At this time, Han Yue interrupted :"The hidden score for each account's positioning match in the"Warcraft" ladder match is 1500. Accounts with scores lower than 1500 only have 18%"

Co-authored Are You a Newbie?

"Ahem, stop talking, look at this, Mr. Chen is getting angry now!"Facing the strange looks of several people, Qin Yi quickly changed the topic.

Then he displayed the information on his mobile phone.

Above was a hot search term that had just been rushed up.

‘Chen Xu is just a gamer, he knows Hammer and Warcraft! '

When they saw this entry, everyone was instantly happy.

"Haha, what's going on with this? Where did it come from?"

"How uncomfortable it would be for Mr. Chen to know this."

Everyone was overjoyed to see this hot search term.

At this time, they had just confirmed the live broadcast activities with Shark TV and walked out of the office.

Looking at the laughing people, Chen Xu was a little curious:"What do you enjoy?

Qin Yi handed the phone to Chen Xu:"Mr. Chen, you really want to live broadcast to prove it.""

I am happy, but Qin Yi is actually quite worried. Although he is also involved in the numerical aspect, and he also feels that the numerical balance has been done very well.

But in the previous game, the orcs took the top two, which seems to be saying something..He was really scared at this time.

"What the hell is this."Chen Xu was a little speechless when he looked at the hot search terms. Then he looked at Qin Yi who was about to speak. Knowing what the other party was thinking, Chen Xu also flexed his muscles and said:"Okay, let's go to the experience store on the first floor and let you see it. Looking at the true strength of your boss, how dare I take on this porcelain job without that diamond?"

Chen Xu didn't panic at all. He made this decision because he had the confidence.

And for him, it was actually an opportunity. Before he changed his working environment, he came forward when Chen Qingzhu broadcast"Three Kingdoms". In fact, this is the plan.

Let players know that he is not only a game designer, but also a player.

After such a person is established, it will be of great help to the subsequent advancement of game content.

But it’s just that I've been too busy during this period and haven't had much time.

Now, it's just an opportunity.
