Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Inside the conference room of Fengyun Games.

Chen Xu is having a meeting with everyone

"Han Yue is doing an offline and online promotion, so pay attention when the time comes."Chen Xu looked at Han Yue and said.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Han Yue nodded seriously.

Although from the current point of view, including Chen Xu's understanding.

Other game manufacturers, even their Fengyun games, such as Qin Yi and the others did not realize how great the potential of the game"League of Legends" was.

But Chen Xu did not dare to be careless.

A large-scale promotion used the fastest mode to build the reputation of"League of Legends". At the same time, determine its status as a Jianghu.

This is what Fengyun Games will do next.

"In addition, Qin Yi, if you are here, the subsequent version will also be accelerated. In the early stage of the official launch, the update speed will be once a week, and the version will be updated based on about 4 heroes each time. Of course, I will be responsible for the hero content. of."Chen Xu looked at Qin Yi and Jiang Bin and said.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Jiang Bin and Qin Yi's eyes widened.

Frequent version updates once a week, launching about 4 heroes?

Ignore Qin Yi and the others. Surprised, Chen Xu continued to carry out the subsequent division of labor.

You must know that the reason why"League of Legends" in the previous life can quickly become the most popular MOBA game in the global market is inseparable from its rapid updates. In the early days, League of Legends was only one week old. The update span is about two weeks, and large-scale updates are carried out.

In the process, many unique heroes have been launched, and these heroes can be said to be the boosters that made"League of Legends" quickly popular around the world.

For example, Gale Swordsman , Lord of Shadow Stream, and other heroes with extremely high ceilings and great appreciation are all brought about by such high-intensity updates.

Of course, such frequent updates will also lead to some errors in the balance of the game..For example, some heroes are too strong.

However, in a quick update, as long as it is not the kind of over-the-top operation, for example, knowing clearly what is unbalanced, it will take several months or even a year to correct it. The quick update brings freshness to the players. At that time, these balance problems could actually be covered up.

Because"League of Legends" followed this path in its previous life.

Therefore, rapid updates, bringing new content, and coordination with promotion, this set of combo punches is a must It has to be played.

And it is also very important.

The reason why"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was a PC game in the previous life was surpassed by"Fortnite" in the global market.

Plug-in and optimization are one factor.

The other is because of the update problem..

It took half a year, or even more than a year, to bring one or two new firearms, maps, and vehicles.

The rest were indifferent updates.

Compared with"Fortnite", which is constantly updated, it only takes a week or two weeks. It was a major update and the introduction of a new mode.

It also allowed Tianhu to turn into his younger brother at the beginning of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

This also allowed PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to learn a lesson and cooperate with Penguin in the subsequent mobile game version. A rapid update frequency, in turn, cannibalized a market for"Fortnite" on the mobile platform.

It can be said to be very dramatic.

So this is why Chen Xu did not directly launch more heroes at the beginning.

On the one hand It is to make the learning cost for players not to get started so high. On the other hand, Chen Xu can maintain the quality and balance of a game in an extreme time and launch more content. After the situation is determined, he can slowly start slow down

"In addition, there is the server aspect. Needless to say, Jincheng and Wang Yong were in charge of the"Warcraft" aspect before. You know the standards. When conducting stress tests in the early stage, the upper limit was raised to 4 million simultaneous online pressures.."Chen Xu said to him.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Wang Yong and Jincheng were stunned for a moment.

4 million!?

You know, the highest peak of"Warcraft" being online at the same time in the world is this value

《Will this standard be used in the early stages of League of Legends?

And it’s only domestic?

However, although they were confused, the two of them were not newcomers. They were both old employees of Fengyun Games and knew Chen Xu very well.

Just do as you're told and that's it.

……………………

While Chen Xu was laying out the layout of"League of Legends".

Because Chen Xu did not restrict the confidentiality of players in the experience store.

Even players can choose to live stream.

Therefore, a situation of the game"League of Legends" was quickly put online by players in the experience store.

And a situation about this game on the Internet has also caused heated discussions and controversy among players.

"It turns out to be a gameplay mode similar to 'Warcraft Heroes Brawl'!"

"Not quite, right? There is a big difference. Manipulate heroes and fight minions to make money and buy equipment. Isn't this the way to play the Warcraft RPG map?"

"It’s not the IP of Warcraft! I thought it would be a game based on the Warcraft IP!"

"But this art style is so cartoony! How did Chen Xu create such a game?"

"I think it’s pretty good! It looks very comfortable, and the characters in it are quite handsome and good-looking."

"Is there just one map from beginning to end? What's the point?"

"It feels like it's much simpler than"Warcraft". You only need to control one hero?"

"It feels a bit like an FPS game, with two opposing camps and three roads."

"Haha, I feel the same way, but having said that, I actually think it’s quite interesting."

"Where's the fun? Just control one hero, there is no room for maneuver at all!"

"That’s right, there’s the random ore flow in Warcraft, as well as the various tactical combinations of the ice-armored spider flow. What room for maneuver can there be in manipulating a hero in this game?"

Looking at some information leaked by players in the experience store, online players were arguing with each other.

Compared with the previous ones, this time it can be said to be serious.

And even the game content has been released.. It was this game called"League of Legends" that confused them. They had no idea what kind of game it was.
