Restart the Gaming Era

Not long after "Auto Chess" was launched, it quickly became popular around the world!

A very obvious example is that in the Alpha game mall, "Light of the Gods", which originally topped the best-selling list, was surpassed by "Auto Chess" in just seven hours after it was launched, and dropped to the bottom of the list. supporting role.

According to the previous promotion plan, "Auto Chess" has also successfully appeared in several major recommendation positions in the Alpha Mall, and has begun to crush other bracelet games. As "Auto Chess" goes online, it has become more and more popular. Over time, more and more players will definitely continue to enter, and the gap between it and other games will definitely become wider and wider!

Many players are a little confused, no, "Auto Chess" is different from "City Guard War", it is not a gold-earning game!

This game does not sell combat power, nor does it sell rare chess pieces. All players spend money to buy are some cosmetics. How could it surpass "Light of the Gods" on the best-seller list?

But players soon understood that this game was developed by Tianji Studio!

Who said that if you only sell the appearance, the game will not be profitable? The krypton is still worth the krypton!

…

"Auto Chess" is indeed a fair competitive game, but its profit points are not many at all.

Moreover, for Tianji Studio, with the successful experience of the two games "Age of Dawn" and "City Guard War", defrauding krypton is simply easy!

All the payment points in "Auto Chess" are appearance, but just appearance can still be used to make flowers.

The regular recharge content in the game is similar to "Dawn Era" and "City Guard War". Recharge will give you additional rewards, first recharge rewards, upgrade treasure chest discounts, etc., all are available.

The consumption content in the game mainly includes three aspects: the appearance of the chess pieces, the appearance of the chess players, and the appearance of the chess board.

The "chess player appearance" is similar to the appearance of the messenger in DOTA Auto Chess on the PC, but it's just a little more fancy. During the battle, your own players will be on the lower right side of the board, while the enemy players will be on the upper left side of the board.

As long as you have different player appearances, when you invade other players, you will look particularly proud once you win.

The appearance of chess players is very rich. There are some beautiful female characters, such as the pig-riding girl, the ice princess, and the phantom assassin; there are also some cute species, such as the panda, the blue pegasus, and the husky; and some are more powerful and fierce. , such as the Scythe Death, Hell Demon, Lava Giant, etc. Players can freely choose according to their own preferences (if you can draw them).

Some of these player appearances are obtained by random drawing, others are given as gifts or purchased after upgrading one's ranking level, and some are synthesized from fragments accidentally dropped in battles.

Just imagine, when a player reaches a higher rank and changes his image of a chess player to a rare chess player exclusive to the high rank, he feels like he has already won the game before he even starts playing.

The appearance of the chessboard can directly change the style of the entire chessboard.

The appearance of the chessboard mainly has two aspects, namely the "defensive part" and the "offensive part". The former is mainly a scene model, and the latter is mainly special effects.

The styles of the "defensive part" and "offensive part" of the chessboard appearance are unified, and there are many categories, such as "Pastoral", "Thunderstorm", "Blizzard", "Lava", "Desert" and so on.

For example, if a player obtains a "blizzard" board appearance, then his or her board will turn into an icy and snowy scene. The rarer the scene, the richer the elements and special effects in the scene will be, and the more natural and comfortable it will look.

The ice and snow on your own chessboard is the content of the "defensive part", while the content of the "offensive part" is the special effects you see when you invade other players.

For example, players now gain a "Blizzard" board appearance and invade an enemy with a "Desert" appearance. Then at the same time as the invasion, the enemy's "desert" chessboard will be filled with snowflake special effects, and the two sides will fight in a blizzard.

Once a player with a "blizzard" appearance wins, the entire scene will be changed into a blizzard scene at the moment of victory. The original desert turns into a land of ice and snow, with the winning side's chess pieces displaying various celebratory movements to show off their power.

Of course, if a player with a "desert" appearance successfully defends, then the "blizzard" special effect will disappear and the desert scene will still remain.

The appearance of the chessboard can also well enhance the player's sense of immersion in the battle. Imagine that a player who likes to play an elf lineup chooses a "pastoral" style board appearance, or a player who likes to play a mage lineup chooses a "blizzard" appearance. Whether it is a defensive victory or an offensive victory, you can get the ultimate Strong sense of immersion.

Finally, there is the appearance of the chess pieces that have the most and the deepest pits in the game.

The appearance of the chess pieces in "Auto Chess" is the same as that of DOTA2, and they are divided into many different parts. In the [Chess Piece Illustrated] function, players can freely edit the appearance of all their own chess pieces and make them the most handsome according to their own preferences.

For example, as an ordinary mage, the Crystal Maiden just wears a light blue mage robe, holds a sapphire staff, and has a little wind and snow special effects around her. But if she could put together a complete set of chess piece appearances, her appearance would change drastically.

After gathering the appearance of the complete set of chess pieces, the Crystal Maiden took the Aurora Scepter and put on the Snow-falling Fur, Glacier Crown, Snow-falling Gloves and Ice-Snow Comet. Her whole body was exuding the cold light of blue ice crystals, and her robes were fluttering. A large number of snowflake special effects exude a dazzling light like crystal.

Anyway, let’s not talk about whether he is good at fighting or not. Just looking at this appearance is already half the battle.

Moreover, these chess pieces will become larger after upgrading to three stars. If these appearance chess pieces can be upgraded to three stars, their appearance will become more eye-catching.

There are also some particularly powerful chess pieces, such as the Juggernaut and Doom Guard in the warrior lineup, the Windrunner and Moonrider in the elf lineup, the helicopters, goblin engineers, etc. in the goblin lineup. Their various handsome appearances will make them look It is more powerful and domineering. Whether it can win the game is another matter. Anyway, just looking at this appearance is pleasing to the eye.

As for how to obtain so many appearances, it is still the traditional routine: some are given as gifts, some rely on liver, some rely on krypton, and a small part have both liver and krypton.

The appearance sales method in "Auto Chess" has been carefully planned. Some of the poorer appearances are given away for free. This is mainly to cultivate the players' habit of using appearance and allow them to retain it in the game, so that they can slowly As you continue playing and encounter some looks that you particularly like, you can't help but spend money.

Although it still requires money and money, this time the players praised the profit system of "Auto Chess"! Not only was there not much resentment, but they were all praised!

""Auto Chess" turns out to be an absolutely fair competitive game! Woohoo, Tianji Studio, I wrongly blamed you!"

"Yeah, I really didn't expect it. Who would have thought that the treasure chests sold by the developer of "City Guard War" would actually have appearances that do not affect combat power?"

"Look at "Light of the Gods" again, Griffin Studio has shamelessly sold its combat power, which is shameful!"

"Let's make a judgment!"

""Auto Chess" is so fun, it's so heartwarming, it's a blast!"

Players naturally compared "Auto Chess" with "Light of the Gods", and the results of the comparison were beyond everyone's expectations!

Originally, players thought that as a veteran console studio, Griffin Studio would have to be a little more conscientious even if it switched to mobile games, right?

As a result, players found that they were wrong. Although "Light of the Gods" is not as expensive as many mobile games that are desperate for money, it does have all the common boxes and recharge activities!

On the contrary, Tianji Studio, which has always been a krypton gold manufacturer, released "Auto Chess" this time with great conscience.

Many players are wondering, did you two have the scripts reversed?

In fact, this matter cannot be blamed on Griffon Studio. They did not expect Tianji Studio to come out like this!

The reason why most of the popular mobile games today are more profitable than PC games is mainly because of this krypton gold system. "City Guard War" is a standard Western money-making model, selling boxes and time, inducing players to spend through various means, while balancing the relationship between players and money-making players, and at the same time, the game quality is excellent and the player base is large If you are huge, you can make a lot of money.

Griffin Studio obviously followed this idea, and "Light of the Gods" naturally included these box opening and recharge activities.

It’s not that Griffin Studio’s conscience is broken. Their thinking is that since they have decided to make a mobile game, they must follow the rules of a mobile game. The purpose of making mobile games is to make profits and to make financial reports look good. To make a "conscientious" mobile game, but in the end no money is made and the reputation is ruined. Isn't that the end of the world?

As a result, after Griffin Studio finished it, they happened to run into "Auto Chess" and were completely dumbfounded.

Tianji Studio has changed its routine!

In the past, it was all about cheating Krypton, as simple and crude as possible, spending money to buy combat power, money to buy time, money to buy luck... But now, it suddenly only sells appearance!

This caught Griffin Studio off guard and made it look like it was very unscrupulous...

As "Auto Chess" continues to become popular, players have also begun to study various routines about this game, forming many unique memes.

For example, if you can guarantee that you have 50 yuan in your hand to earn interest, and at the same time enjoy a winning streak, you are called "Tianhu", and it is also said that "people cannot beat dogs."

In order to get the reward of a losing streak, some players choose to deliberately play a bunch of weak chess pieces (fake matches) or simply play nothing (empty city). After the blood volume drops to a certain level, they increase the strength of the lineup to start a winning streak. It's called "blood locking."

However, sometimes even if you spend all your money, you still can't beat it, and you will be eliminated early after finishing in eighth place. This situation is also jokingly called "empty city and sudden death", and you can only angrily type "Fat" on the public screen. Card player nmsl".

Randomness and strategy have reached a very perfect combination in the game "Auto Chess". Many videos popularizing the mechanics of "Auto Chess" and explaining how to play have also quickly become popular on major video websites. Among players, spread quickly among the group.

Such a very unique mobile game, with its exquisite graphics, rich and interesting gameplay and fair mechanism, quickly became popular among the player community, whether it is the number of downloads of "Auto Chess" in major game stores, Its popularity can be clearly seen in terms of popularity and discussions on the Internet.

What is more convincing should be the situation of major live broadcast websites.

Zhong Ming's own Weiguang Live Broadcasting Platform is of course deliberately promoting "Auto Chess". Many "Auto Chess" players who have reached high levels have automatically been officially recommended by Weiguang Live Broadcast, and a group of superb chess players have quickly emerged. new anchor.

Anchors in other special areas, such as "Xuanjia Project" and anchors in other console game areas, are also playing "Auto Chess". This game has become the next hot spot after "Sekiro".

Of course, the Weiguang live broadcast platform's praise of "Auto Chess" may have some official guidance, but on other live broadcast platforms, "Auto Chess" is also very popular!

On the Linghu live broadcast platform, "Auto Chess" has also become popular in various divisions. Whether it is competitive games, online games or stand-alone games, anchors can be seen playing "Auto Chess" everywhere.

Moreover, many viewers were surprised to find that they watched the anchor at night and said, "After playing this game of "Auto Chess", the broadcast will end." As a result, the audience fell asleep. When they woke up the next day and opened the live broadcast platform, the anchor was still there. fighting...

Under the magic of "Auto Chess", many anchors who were originally keen on fishing began to passively "work overtime". This shocked many viewers. How toxic is this game?

…

Shimmer Studio.

The success of "Auto Chess" was completely unexpected for Zhong Ming, and it was not worth being particularly excited about.

What he is more concerned about now is the next research and development plan of Shimmer Studio.

Shimmer Studio has been focusing on the follow-up development of "Starfire 2" before. So far, it has basically come to an end.

As for Zhong Ming, he could finally concentrate and start making the "top game" he had always wanted to do.

If there is a chain of contempt for games in this world, then bracelet games are at the bottom and simulator games are at the top.

Emulator games are more extreme than console games. They cost more, invest more, and have fewer players, but they are the best way for game manufacturers to show off their muscles.

Just like the game "Starfire 2", although the players who actually play this game on the GS1 emulator are a minority among the player group, it can bring the top gaming experience to players.

Zhong Ming’s positioning for Shimmer Studio is to cooperate with Yunuo Technology to continuously explore the highest experience that games can bring to players under current technical conditions.

Just like Zhong Ming's previous life, VR technology is obviously immature, and various simulator equipment cannot be popularized due to cost issues. Why are there so many companies developing top-notch VR glasses and some special driving simulators?

Sometimes a simulator that simulates real driving costs hundreds of thousands, and a single steering wheel costs several thousand yuan. It is not cost-effective at all, and it may not be possible to sell it for a few dollars, but these companies are still making it without hesitation. .

In the final analysis, this is an act of flexing muscles. Although the technology is not mature, there must be the first person to eat the crab. It doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed. Once you succeed, it will cause a sensation in the entire industry and greatly enhance the popularity of your own brand.

Zhong Ming now wants to lead Weiguang Studio and Yunuo Technology to continue to move forward in this direction and go further in the gaming experience brought by the latest technology.
