Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Chen Xu, including everyone in the Nebula game team, didn't pay too much attention to the "killing the broken dog" and some other discussions on the Internet.

This is also a habit of Nebula Games at present.

That is to concentrate on playing the game.

Don't pay too much attention to the various remarks of online players, wait until the game comes out to find out.

The stage of developing the game is mainly to develop the game.

Of course, at this stage, in addition to the map editor, Warcraft has not joined the subsequent map editor community.

The relevant settings for the entire game have basically been completed.

Various servers for multiplayer mode have been set up.

At the same time, the corresponding RANK score matching system has also been perfected.

For maps, matchmaking and ranking are divided into two modes.

Among them, there are quite a lot of matching maps. Currently, Chen Xu has produced about 15 maps.

As for the ranking map, because of a lineup balance, Chen Xuzhi chose some of the more classic game maps in his previous life, such as: Twisted Green Grass (TM), Turtle Map (TR), Lost Temple (LT), Wang's Territory (TS), Echo Island (EI), Gnoll Forest (GW)

And in fact, these maps are not completely balanced.

For example, the TR picture can be said to be the home of the elves, because most of the neutral monsters in this picture are turtles, and the turtles have a passive skill, that is, melee units will receive a certain amount of rebound damage when they attack, while the orcs are large Part of the firepower is melee soldiers, and it is very disadvantageous when mining, online and treasure hunting. On the other hand, most of the elves are long-range and supported by the Raptor Druid skill Elf Fire (armor reduction), which has a natural advantage.

When it comes to LT, this map will become the home of the orcs again, because there is a building called the Fountain of Life on the map. As long as you get close, you can continue to restore the blood volume, and the infantry of the orcs has the highest blood volume of all races. Therefore, fighting near the water spring will have an advantage, and you can train the water spring early to gain rich experience and good treasures.

Furthermore, there are no taverns on this map. For example, some tactics of the human race cannot be implemented for the orcs, and they can better exert their own advantages.

It can be said that each map has its own characteristics, which also gives players in the previous life a very unique view of "Warcraft", that is, there are no unbalanced races, and some are just unbalanced maps.

This is also an inevitable situation, after all, each of the four races has its own characteristics.

So in terms of ranking, Chen Xu also added the function of BAN selection.

Players on both sides choose their own races before the game, and then make a map BAN selection. They can BAN a map they don't want to play, and then make a lottery in the remaining map pool.

After some follow-up planning, Chen Xu stretched out of the office.

In the rest area, because the development of the game has been temporarily completed, everyone in the team is still relatively leisurely.

And everyone also started the mode of liking the new and hating the old. Instead of continuing to brush "Monster Hunter: World", they began to play "Warcraft".

"Oh, you are pulling the peasants!"

"Don't block the road!"

"The dust of revealing and concealing is scattered!"

"How can I help you!"

Yang Xin, Ruan Ningxue, Qin Yi and Lin Tao were sitting in a row.

Humans, orcs, night elves, and undead, none of them can be said to have fallen behind.

The opponent they faced was an orc user.

At this moment, a 6th-level Juggernaut is unleashing Bladestorm for slaughter.

And after the Sword Saint released the Blade Storm, he immediately started the Gale Step and disappeared without waiting for the King of the Hill's hammer to strike.

"Oh, sister Xin, you have done this, other swordsmen have already run, I don't know how far, and you only spread the dust."

"Yes, yes, this has been fighting for so long, Sister Xin, how come you only have one hill, eight musketeers and two cavalry!"

"Yes, Sister Xin, you already have three books, why can't you make two heroes?"

Listening to the words of the colleague next to him, Yang Xin, who was sitting in front of the computer, blushed.

"To be reasonable, I definitely can't recruit this hero, I can't control it, and I still have experience when leveling!"

"As for why there are so many soldiers, haven't you looked at my house? With so many defense towers, whoever comes will die!"

Ruan Ningxue glanced at Yang Xin's screen and was a little speechless: "Sister Xin, this hero has a high attack and powerful skills! I told you it doesn't need to be so complicated, you select all units and then leave A alone, and then control your most The hero you want to play is just fine, the minions will automatically hit people anyway."

As a skilled "Warcraft" player, Ruan Ningxue taught himself the unique skills of A floor.

"Mr. Chen, do you think I'm right?" Ruan Ningxue also noticed Chen Xu walking over and asked.

"Well...for beginners, it's better to train a hero first, then to heroes and units, then to multiple units, and finally to operate this one." Chen Xu thought about it and said something that sounded very useful. , but it feels useless.

After all, if you let him play by himself, he can play, but if you teach others, he doesn't know how to do it at all.

Moreover, these four people can play a maddening computer person for such a long time, and from the perspective of the battle situation, it seems that they may not be able to play. This is also a little surprising to him.

"By the way, how about the pre-sale sales of Mr. Chen's Warcraft?" Qin Yi asked what he thought.

After hearing Qin Yi's words, the rest of the people looked at Chen Xu with concern.

People are still very concerned about this.

Because the game "Warcraft" can be said to be the game with the largest investment in Nebula Games at present.

Mainly because CG is too expensive.

And the modeling is even done by the standard of general RPG.

Will this cost money?

"You don't know the quality of the game, why worry about sales." Chen Xu said with a smile.

However, it was revealed to them.

"There is no pre-sale model overseas, because there are still some problems with the audit, and it will probably be launched in a week in China, but the domestic pre-sale sales have exceeded 3 million, and the achievement of recovering the cost on the first day may be a little difficult. It is achieved, but it is not a problem to make a profit in the first week, and it is still under the premise of excluding overseas sales." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Hearing this number, everyone was also excited.

This number is not considered the best number for Nebula games, so far the best is "Minecraft", followed by "Monster Hunter: World".

But obviously it was a big success.

The quality of the game itself, the content, and the current sales also gave them a shot in the arm.

This time, everyone in the team is full of confidence and believes that "Warcraft" will definitely become a game that is both applauded and popular, and redefines the concept of RTS games!

…………

On November 15th, "Warcraft" was officially released!

After the previous trial version, the popularity of "Warcraft" can be said to be unparalleled for a while.

On the official blog, the fall of Lordaeron and Arthas became the most searched entries.

There are many UP masters on the video website who have done the CG shot mix cut in "Warcraft", and they have also received a high number of broadcasts.

For players, whether it is players who are attracted by the plot or players who are attracted by the unique gameplay.

Obviously they can't wait to experience this real RTS masterpiece.
