Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Of course it wasn't just Song Ren's voice that was desperate.

Next to Wang Han and Zhang Yi, including the butcher engineer on the road, are quite desperate.

Although it has been known before that this human-machine is an activity challenge, just like the despair mode in the previous "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" and the original "Dark Souls" death mode.

DOTA's human-machine activity this time also belongs to the level of despair and death.

But they really didn't expect it to be so strong. All kinds of small details on the line, such as pulling hatred and pulling wild soldiers through the wild monsters on the side lanes, made the entire line of soldiers hover near the night banquet defense tower.

At the same time, the robot-like supplementary knife exploded them.

Including the connection of skills, it is a must.

Of course, it's fine if it's just like that. Through the performance of the man and the machine, they have seen incomparably powerful details.

Song Ren's Spiritual Warrior in the middle is extremely miserable at level 7 and hit level 11. The only difference is that he was killed by the Shadow Demon before, and he didn't dare to fight against the Shadow Demon at all.

At the same time, he also bought a 550 yuan anti-magic cloak on his body, and the shadow demon has no control and deceleration skills, so as long as he is low, it is unrealistic for the opponent to kill him.

Another point is that the AI ​​man-machine is not so aggressive to the defense tower.

According to the real game with the player, the Shadow Fiend can completely dismantle the defense tower in cooperation with the artillery car at this time.

But after all, this is a man-machine mode that challenges players, so before 15 minutes in the setting, the man-machine AI will not take the initiative to demolish the tower or jump over the tower to kill.

So although it was miserable, Song Ren and the others could still play.

And there is a lot to learn from human and machine.

"This wild monster can still be pulled like this, and then clear the line of troops!"

"And using the hatred of actively attacking heroes to pull the minions closer to their defense towers, this technique feels very useful too!"

"When using supplies, throwing the equipment on the body can restore more life and magic, which is too delicate!"

Zhang Yi and Wang Han, who discovered some man-machine operations, were both very surprised.

And here Song Ren couldn't help but complain: "It's too thin! It's such a waste to sell these power shoes for 1,400 yuan to the Shadow Demon! Cut the agile legs when repairing the knife, and cut the strength legs when resisting damage. When using shadow pressure to cut intellectual legs, why did you buy a power shoe? This is a limit orb that increases movement speed and attack speed!"

As one of the basic shoes in DOTA, the biggest feature of power shoes is that they can switch back and forth between three different attributes.

And the bonus is 9 points. As for the ultimate orb, it is a piece of equipment of 2100 yuan, and the added skill is all attributes +10.

So it can be said that the power shoes are used well, which is equivalent to buying a limit orb for nothing.

Zhang Yi and Song Ren chatted about the experience in the game.

The laning was brutally beaten, and the connection between basic skills and teamfighting skills, the AI ​​​​is much higher than the current them.

Although the challenge event arranged this time is not to beat the players, as long as time goes on, the players' equipment is getting better and better, and the level is getting higher and higher, it is not too difficult to win.

But the key point is that Zhang Yi and the others really have something they can't watch.

Technology aside, the lineup of Butcher Bomb's inferior path combination is really a little tricky.

The butcher is very accurate at hooking soldiers, but he can't hook heroes. As a new hero engineer, it is obvious that this player on their side can't play.

As for Song Ren's Spiritual Warrior, he can only say that the team battles are rushing up with a big move and sacrifice. As long as he can release the first skill, Heart Flame, it is already his best effort.

The one who played the biggest role was Zhang Yi's hero Wraith Emperor.

In the current version, Chen Xu did not add the modified magic crystal from his previous life, but he added a key piece of equipment to all heroes.

That is Aghanim's Scepter, all heroes have their own Scepter characteristics.

And Wraith King's scepter skill, that is, after the death of his own hero units within a certain range, he can still have a few seconds of activity time.

However, among the few people, there is only one bomber with AOE skills that can clear troops, but this player doesn't know how to play, and the level of mine laying can only be described as miserable.

Several people dragged on for about a quarter of an hour, and finally the main base was dismantled by the man-machine.

"It's all lost! Man-machine is too strong!" Song Ren couldn't help but sighed after seeing the final 7-27 record.

This is the game where he died the most, almost 30 times.

"Old Song, after seeing your **** warrior, I think Shadow Demon is quite suitable for this version." Zhang Yi next to him sighed.

He doesn't pay any attention to the outcome of the game now, and now he is full of the words of Song Ren before.

'Shadow Fiend is not suitable for this version. ' 'I'm not a crash-and-die player. ' 'How did this shot hit me? ’

It's so dramatic!

"Shut up! I have my own understanding of playing Dota! Go to the ladder! I want you to understand what Zhao Yun is!" Song Ren pretended to be angry and changed the topic decisively.

After playing an AI man-machine, he felt that playing against a real player might be less stressful.

"Don't go to the ladder, get a man-machine seriously, and go ahead after winning one. It's difficult to fight in the early stage, but choose more heroes who can defend the tower. Musket and Zeus are very good and can still win."

"Take me as Zhao Yun this time, don't cry when you are in Brother Yun's arms, okay?" Zhang Yi sighed.

………………

After the launch of the new version, many players are in various modes.

Some challenged this new man-machine activity and were ready to get a reward.

Some are gearing up to challenge the ladder to see what level they are.

Of course, it's more of a fight in ordinary matches, and by the way, play to see the latest hero bomber.

At the same time, with the increasing number of players in "DOTA", the level is gradually improving, and there are more and more various teaching videos.

In particular, some players also discovered some features, that is, this latest man-machine challenge can also make man-machine 5V5.

This suddenly made many players discover the new continent. They found that in this man-machine 5V5 mode, it was simply a fight between gods.

At the beginning, the fog of tricks was used for vision. The five people gathered around the high **** to get some, and the fixed point of the wild and the wild, and the online wandering, and the later group battles were simply full of pulling!

And there are many new routines that amaze many players, such as the combination of elf, plane and wandering swordsman, which is simply violent.

The combination of the Naga Siren and the mystery is even more unsolved.

Through the cooperation of tactics and routines shown in these games, there are more players' continuous research and dissemination, and there is no player who complains about the topic of "DOTA" having no content or too simple as when "DOTA" first came out. .

The popularity of DOTA has also continued to rise, and everything has been on the right track.

In the promotion of activities during the New Year, the number of active people of "DOTA" has also hit new highs.

Daily active players successfully exceeded the 17 million mark.

Compared with the previous "World of Warcraft", this data does not break through.

But this data is incredible for a PC platform.

And the more critical point is that the popularity of "DOTA" has been maintained for quite a long time, and it even feels more sticky than "World of Warcraft".

However, Chen Xu knew very well that this was just the beginning.

At present, the current initial version and arrangement of "DOTA" have put the game on the right track.

At the same time, it is time to move on to the next stage of work.
