Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

When players were immersed in the game"Three Kingdoms", many game designers in the industry also downloaded"Three Kingdoms" for the first time to experience it.

I want to see what kind of quality this game is.

After all, the"Vitality Knight" launched by Chen Xu can be said to have brought a big shock to the industry.

But soon after playing, many game designers became a little stunned.

"This is a battle board game in the skin of the Three Kingdoms!"

"Nonsense, haven’t the videos been posted online before? You only know now?"

"I was busy the past few days and didn’t pay much attention to it, but the main point of this game is one of the rules"

"Well, in fact, in the case of the Three Kingdoms, it is more like a skin. Replacing it with any dynasty is not actually a violation."

"You can’t say that. I feel that choosing Three Kingdoms should be the most suitable one. Didn’t you find that the characters in it are all interconnected?"

"Yes, yes, yes. For example, if Liu Bei uses aggressive generals and there are Shu generals on the field, there will be a linkage of lines; and if Cao Cao uses armor, if there are Wei generals, there will also be linkage lines."

"The main reason is that there are too many well-known characters in the Three Kingdoms, and players know many of the allusions. If it were replaced with other backgrounds, they might not have such a sense of immersion."

"But what makes me more curious is the profit model of Chen Xu's"Three Kingdoms". All generals are free? Only rely on skin revenue?"

"If you want to maintain a balance, the buyout system is more suitable."

"Yes, although it is a card game, the art also has dubbing and advertising. It feels like the cost of"Three Kingdoms" is probably in the millions."

"Don't worry about Chen Xu. As long as you can reach the user level of"Vitality Knight", you can definitely make money even if you buy skins, and it may be even more than"Vitality Knight". Don't believe it when the monthly revenue comes out. Just know"

………………

Compared with other people in the game circle, I experience"Three Kingdoms" with research and curiosity.

You Zifang's mood was even more nervous.

On the one hand, the incident with Chen Xu made him hold his breath.

On the other hand, it is also because Chen Xu also participated in this Three Kingdoms game event.

This also forced him to pay attention.

It's just lip service to look down on someone, but if you say you don't have any fear, you're lying to yourself.

So as soon as he learned the news about"Three Kingdoms", he took a look at the news revealed by Chen Xu in advance.

At the same time, when the game is online, ask the assistant to remind you as soon as possible.

After downloading it, You Zifang temporarily put aside the development of"Three Kingdoms: Legend of Shu Han" and devoted himself wholeheartedly to"Three Kingdoms", trying to figure out all aspects of this game.

After experiencing it, he was shocked.

I'm surprised at the quality of this game.

Regarding a guess on how to play the game, he had seen the leaked videos that day and had some understanding of it.

But when he actually got started, he felt the subtlety of"Three Kingdoms".

Although it is a card game, Chen Xu obviously spent a lot of money on the three-dimensional art and voice acting of"Three Kingdoms" itself.

The second is the soul of a game, the gameplay of the entire game framework.

The basic cards, equipment cards, tips cards, and skill combinations of generals, as well as the four major identities of the main, loyal and anti-internal, make the whole game full of strategy.

At the same time, the game itself is equipped with four identities, which also reflects the vertical and horizontal integration of the Three Kingdoms theme.

This may become a hit!

Although he is not a newcomer to the gaming industry, You Zifang still has the most basic ability to appreciate games.

He can still tell whether a game is good or bad.

In his opinion, the real problem facing"Three Kingdoms" is whether players can adapt to this card battle gameplay.

But judging from the current simple and easy-to-understand rules in"Three Kingdoms" and the current market feedback

《"Three Kingdoms" has basically been 80% successful, and the remaining 20% ​​depends on whether it can reach a certain height.

After putting down the phone, You Zifang's face was filled with a solemn expression.

But after a while, the expression on You Zifang's face slowly calmed down again.

I have to say that Chen Xu's"Three Kingdoms" is indeed beautiful.

Even when the game he was developing,"Three Kingdoms: Legend of Shu Han", was launched, he was not sure it could beat"Three Kingdoms".

Whether it was a subsequent profit or the number of players, he was not sure at all.

It seems that only decorative props can be profitable in"Three Kingdoms", but You Zifang understands one thing very well.

When the number of players in a game reaches a certain level, even charging for such decorative props can still make enough profit points.

Moreover, the skin charging model itself is quite suitable for"Three Kingdoms".

Because everyone is on the same card table, players who have military commander skins will have better-looking and cool military commander original paintings, including in-game lines, and even some special effects, which will distinguish them from other players.

This can satisfy the player's biggest vanity.

Why buy skin?

On the one hand, it is to look good for myself, on the other hand, it is also to show off.

And one of the gameplays in"Three Kingdoms" has such an ability

"But this time the focus is on the Game Committee’s theme tour!"Three Kingdoms" does have an inherent advantage in the player base, and the rules have also changed this time. Players' votes accounted for 60%, but the official rating still accounted for 40% of the decision, and"Three Kingdoms" itself has no plot performance. , as well as weak feedback on the Three Kingdoms’ unique content, are all his fatal shortcomings!"

You Zifang took a deep breath.

Although he had only played"Three Kingdoms" for a few hours, he already knew it in his heart.

《Does"Three Kingdoms" reflect the characteristics of the content of the Three Kingdoms? have!

But because of its card board game mode, it is difficult to express it completely.

This is the flaw of"Three Kingdoms" in this official event.

It was also an opportunity for him, You Zifang, to overtake in a corner in this event!

Although players accounted for 60% of the voting share in this event.

But it is impossible for"Three Kingdoms" to get all the votes.

So he still has a chance!

"It’s still unclear who will win, and it’s too early to talk about it now!"

Close"Three Kingdoms" on your mobile phone, You Zifang got up and went to the studio.

The progress of the game needs to be accelerated!
