Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

On June 3, the third day after the new version was updated, Chen Xu also continued to post relevant data online.

With the launch of a new version

《The data of"League of Legends" has also made a huge breakthrough.

Although various game designers in the industry already have an estimate in mind before this.

But when Chen Xu released the data, they were still shocked.

Daily active users broke through and reached a terrifying result of 10.7 million.

The peak number of players online at the same time has also been refreshed to a high of 3.9 million.

In addition, Chen Xu’s massive promotion of"League of Legends" is still going on.

Therefore, during this period, various game communities and forums on the Internet, as well as video and live broadcast websites, almost except"League of Legends" are"League of Legends", and there is no trace of other games at all.

………………

In the Tenghua conference room, three game designers, You Zifang, Lu Xiao and Zhang Qian, were sitting together.

It has been a few days since they discussed a core point of"Heroic Field".

With the tilt of Tenghua's S-level resources, the entire game framework has been set up.

All that's left is the core chunk of the game.

What kind of model should be adopted?

"Have you discovered it? The new version Chen Xu launched this time coincides with our previous ideas."Zhang Qian said with a smile.

"That's right, the core point of"League of Legends", a super brawl, is to speed up the pace of the game. From the beginning, there is team fighting, and there is economic sharing. Players can get the money of minions even if they can't make up for their swords. Lu Xiao said with narrowed eyes.

"There is also a fountain when players die, which can transform the economy into combat power. This is to balance the gap between players, so that both sides can fight back and forth."Zhang Qian then added

"According to this idea, how to let players get started better? By canceling the economic system and sharing experience among all players, the snowball effect can be minimized."Zhang Qian touched his chin and said

"This is an idea we mentioned before, but Chen Xu did not directly implement it to the end. Lu Xiao also said with a smile.

"Polar Brawl is a completely different map type from the previous Summoner’s Rift, which almost coincides with one of our ideas."Zhang Qian then added.

After the words fell, the two people felt quite sympathetic to each other.

Wandering Zi Fang, who was listening to the conversation between the two people, frowned tightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but what he said made him feel uncomfortable. It's hard to say.

Because these things, judging from the performance of"League of Legends", are indeed the case.

It's just that what they have to do is to be more perfect.

………………

《The activities of"League of Legends" are not over yet, and the popularity continues to ferment.

On June 5, the last day of its activity, its peak number of simultaneous online users once again broke through, reaching a terrifying level of 4 million.

This also made countless game designers and manufacturers feel incredible.

No one thought that such a unique game type would have such potential.

And it seems likely that this result is not the end.

Various game designers in the industry have also begun to analyze the various characteristics of"League of Legends".

There is research on everything from promotion, gameplay, to game art, and even UI.

However, for game manufacturers such as Tenghua, they obviously do not have so much time to study slowly.

On the same day of June 5th, Tenghua carried out the promotion of"Heroic Battlefield".

And revealed some relevant content.

The key point is to cancel the economic and equipment system and adopt a unique talent tree system. Each hero has three different ways to play.

The second is that there will be more maps in the game, and each map has its own unique mechanism, similar to the BUFF given to the entire team after Baron Nash kills him.

The main slogan of the entire game is that it is an easy-to-use team tactical competitive game.

Although the promotion intensity is not as crazy as Chen Xu's previous promotion of"League of Legends".

But it’s also the treatment of a big production.

The advertisements on the website also include an omni-channel pop-up cover promotion by Tenghua Free.

Many players have some expectations for this game.

After all, from the publicity, it seems that the game"Hero Arena" is quite interesting?

In particular, the cancellation of the economic system has also made some ordinary players interested.

Although"League of Legends" has only been launched not long ago, there are actually signs of it.

That is, there are always some players who are handicapped.

Others can produce a big item in ten minutes by relying on last-hitting.

However, he could only produce one accessory, so after seeing the content and features of"Heroic Battlefield", these players also became interested.

Including in the experience store, all employees were a little nervous when they received the news.

After all, this is Tenghua!

"Mr. Chen, should we announce the opening of qualifying matches soon?"Qin Yi looked at Chen Xu in the conference room and said

"Yes. Should Mr. Chen continue to strengthen his promotion efforts?"Han Yue also asked.

Chen Xu looked at the online promotion of"Heroic Battlefield" with a strange expression.

This familiar game mechanism reminded him of a game in his previous life.

It seems to have the same effect but the same approach.!

"Just keep an original plan."Chen Xu shook his head slightly and said.

It's not because he thinks that Tenghua's game is not a threat.

Although if it is really what he thinks, it feels like the game will become cool on its own without him taking action. The main thing is You have to take care of the promotion rhythm of"League of Legends". It is not good to be too fast or too slow.

By the middle of the year, players who can meet the ranking mechanism will basically understand the rules of the game. At this time, cooperation is necessary An official event at that time can maximize the popularity.

Similarly, if you are stuck before the opponent's 20th, you don't have to worry about having a big impact, which in turn can have an impact on the opponent.

But having said that, Tenghua must really This design is actually not too unexpected.

After all, Blizzard, as a major player in the gaming industry, also made similar mistakes in its previous life.

Moreover, other people's current concept of MOBA basically comes from"League of Legends" 》Come.

But even though I think so, I still need to be vigilant.

"In addition, if there is any new news related to the game"Hero Arena", remember to notify me."Chen Xu said to Han Yue and others.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Han Yue nodded. At the same time, with the promotion of Tenghua's"Heroic Battlefield" online, more and more game designers have also focused their attention. In the end

,

Whether the preemptive"League of Legends" will crush it all the way to the end, or whether Tenghua's"Heroes Arena" will catch up from behind, this is what the industry is paying attention to.

Moreover, Chen Xu's Fengyun Games itself is a new generation of rising star game companies, and Tenghua's It is an old giant.

This confrontation between the old and the new is also of great significance.
