Number One Game Designer

The more Fang Xi came into contact with work such as e-sports events, the more he felt that e-sports was really far from traditional games.

What players look forward to most in traditional games is nothing more than new plots and new mechanisms. Everyone is looking forward to and pursuing some cool things, or things that can move players.

But in e-sports, the entire production and operation process of the game is very commercial:

The character of this game, that is, the hero, was born in a relatively traditional game studio. Compared with traditional gamers, the designers here have a more streamlined job. They only need to be a character and don’t need to think about mountains and rivers. Then It is the most important value planning team in the whole link, which will add some mechanisms and values ​​to the hero, and finally promote it to the players. After the hero gets enough data from the players and the league, it will feed it back to the company, and the company will carry out Adjust accordingly.

The output part of the whole link is the same as that of traditional game studios. In other parts, Fang Xi only emphasized four words to them: numerical balance.

Because in traditional games, it is not a bad thing for a weapon to be too powerful. The official only needs to add certain conditions to the acquisition of this weapon, and players can sleep and forget food and sleep for an "artifact". For this kind of artifact that is obviously stronger than other weapons, players never I won't refuse, I just feel cool.

But e-sports is different. In eternity, there are only ten players in the game. The five players here are your players, and the five players on the opposite side are also your players. No matter how the game is played, there will eventually be five winners and five losers, which means that the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all meat. So in this process, it becomes a numerical game between game officials and players.

Through a reasonable matching mechanism, the winning rate of all players is controlled at around 50%, and then the level of the players is graded through the ranking system. The essence of this system is to take care of the game experience of the vast majority of people, which is also the essence of competitive games. The way to survive. Otherwise, in an unbalanced game, although you can rely on unbalanced mechanisms or heroes to abuse people, others can also use unbalanced points to abuse you. In the end, the negative experience will snowball and eventually lead to the failure of the game. crash.

Fang Xi also reflected on his own mistakes. To him, e-sports was familiar to him, but to this world, e-sports was just a sudden wave brought by a man named Fang Xi within a year. Trends, eternity can only be said to be fun, but it will take a while for everyone to be familiar with and accept the concept of e-sports.

So after comprehensive consideration, Fang Xi launched his own official law enforcement department, which is the "black-robed picket team" he told Lin Rongchang.

For Fang Xi, if you feel that there is a problem with the low income, you can come to yourself and explain it clearly, and then everyone will sit down and figure out a solution together, this is OK.

But if you want to take the risk yourself and do something that is not good for everyone, then that's not OK, so Fang Xi will only clear the other party out of his circle, lest a rat droppings spoil a pot of soup.

Therefore, this kind of law enforcement department that overrides several major competition areas is also helpless: Fang Xi can see the bright future of the e-sports league, but they can't. Development, but for many people below, they are just part-time workers, and what they value is their personal interests. Today is spinach, and if you don't care about it, tomorrow you may buy it and die.

Although so much has happened in such a short period of time, these intense exchanges are destined to be hard to be known by the outside world. For the eternal fans in the Asia-Pacific region, the only change they know is that a team in Europe has been removed. It's gone. For many fans, this matter has been extinguished by the authorities before it has fermented.

What followed was that practitioners knew about the existence of the "Black Robe Picket Team". This department has the right to check the financial reports of all teams, and this department has the right to directly report to Fang Xi. The staff felt as if they had a pair of unknown eyes on their heads.

And another thing that makes many players feel novel and a little strange is that the official website of the Eternal League Asia-Pacific region disclosed their next plan: There are currently 16 teams in the Asia-Pacific region, of which 9 are affiliated to the China region, South Korea 3 2 branches in Japan, 1 branch in Malaysia, 1 branch in total in Thailand and Vietnam.

The official announced that these teams have officially started bidding. Each team needs to have its own e-sports stadium as a home stadium. The official welcomes municipal governments or enterprises in each region to find teams belonging to their regions to discuss cooperation and negotiate the development of their own cities. As a home problem. The future Eternal League will also cancel the current three-venue rotation mode, but will become a home and away league mode.

This is a model familiar to young people who pay attention to basketball and football, and it is by far the most successful model.

"Let me just say, the previous three-venue rotation model is definitely a brain hole." Yu Jiashu complained to Shuiyou after reading the announcement.

"Anchor, don't you live by luck? You actually know this!"

"Anchor, do you have Boss Hongyi's friend!"

"Anchor, you, a P of "Eternal" dishes, still understand this?"

So Yu Jiashu is not happy:

"Although I play games, although I don't know the staff of Hongyi, although I rely on luck to eat, I have also taken a plane."

"Let me tell you, this game is also based on reality, just like our domestic ones don't feel like it."

"But you still have a Malaysian team for this competition. If you are in a remote place, it will take four or five hours to come here by plane. Then, if you play a game, it will take as long as the road."

"So I later heard that several teams from Southeast Asia simply rented a villa on Qiongdao together. Although it saved a lot of trouble, this is not a long-term solution. In name, they have to live in a foreign country for a long time to participate in a competition. I'm not feeling well either."

While talking, Yu Jiashu was operating the "Eternity" he was still playing, and it was a flash big move, perfect and empty, and was taken away by the opponent's quick and neat combo.

After drinking water in embarrassment, Yu Jiashu continued to explain:

"You didn't see anything, let's talk about the game."

"So, just like this time, there will definitely be a team in Haifang City that will be chosen as the home team, and the name of the team in the league will be associated with Haifang City. Isn't it an honor to win the championship? "

"And another advantage of this is that it may be a development opportunity for some inland cities. As long as the city government is willing to accept it, it doesn't cost much to build an e-sports stadium, but it will bring huge exposure to the city, so some second-tier Cities must really want these teams to repair their home courts."

"But what I'm more curious about is..." Yu Jiashu raised his head, recalling the talented young man who didn't look a few years older than him:

"I don't know if there will be a team in Beiyang City where Hong Yi is located?"
