Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

In mid-May, the popularity of "DOTA" was still in full swing.

However, the FOW side is also moving frequently, and its new work "Olympus" has opened all kinds of publicity.

And it has to be said that it really attracts more players.

On the one hand, it borrowed the popularity of "DOTA", and the promotion was also based on the VR version of DOTA.

Secondly, the theme of the game is mainly based on the Greek gods Olympus, but at the same time, it will also join the mythological systems of various countries such as Nordic mythology.

Secondly, the gameplay also makes many players feel novel.

The perspective in the game has been replaced by a first-person perspective. As for the hero, just like "DOTA", two different modes of melee and long-distance are used.

However, the game is combined with FPS, and some skills and the attacks of long-range heroes need to be pre-judged, and the melee heroes also add some ACT elements.

In this piece of FOW, it has also vigorously promoted it, saying that "Olympus" is an action-type DOTA, a game that takes into account both tactics and action operations. It can be said that the gimmicks are full of gimmicks.

From the technical level, the "Olympus" produced by FOW can be said to belong to the first-line level.

Secondly, on the map, FOW also adopts a new setting, that is, there is no longer only one map in the game.

There will be multiple maps in the game, and in addition to the same defense tower mechanism as DOTA, FOW also introduces a mechanism called environment interaction.

Of course, it is very mysterious. In fact, it is to replace the setting of Roshan in "DOTA". Players on both sides can complete the tasks on the map or compete for the stronghold on the map, and then let their own side gain an advantage.

For example, attribute BUFF bonus, give the enemy DEBUFF, and a siege behemoth unit appears on your side to assist in advancing.

It is not clear whether it is fun or not, but from the promotional materials released by FOW, it still attracts a considerable number of players.

Inevitably, it also attracted some DOTA players. After all, unlike DOTA, this is a VR game.

The hype for Olympus is overwhelming, and many people are talking about this particular Dota-like game.

''Olympus' is about to start testing, does anyone play it? ’

'Going to see it, it's a free test anyway, and judging from the integrity of FOW, this "Olympus" probably won't be too bad, right? ’

'I feel that the action content in this game is very rich, the gameplay of DOTA and the action of VR mode strike, just think about it, it is very emotional. ’

‘It’s not that you can’t play, it might be fun to taste something new. ’

With the promotion of "Olympus", some players of "DOTA" were also attracted in the past.

This is also a normal phenomenon, after all, it is impossible for players to only play one game.

But at the same time as FOW announced the trial launch date.

A message also appeared in the player's field of vision, that is, Chen Xu's official blog also released a message the next day.

"The demo version of the new VR action game "God of War" will be launched on the Nebula game platform soon.

Looking at this news, many players have not recovered, what the hell?

new game! ?

Many players were a little surprised after reading the promotional materials and content with confusion and curiosity.

This time, Chen Xu didn't do any CG content.

Because the characteristics of "God of War" are not what CG can show, mainly some original game paintings.

But it also made many players excited.

Spectacular Mount Olympus, gigantic titans and terrifying Hydra...

A proper masterpiece!

In addition, this time Chen Xu didn't sell anything! ?

Directly announced the trial!

Just unexpected!

Many players are excited but have some concerns.

That is the introduction to the game in Chen Xu's official blog.

Action game?

I'm afraid it won't be a torture game!

Thinking of Chen Xu's previous record, countless players are complaining online one after another.

………………

Song Ren in front of the computer made a sound of incompetence and fury as he watched the explosion of the base.

"Kneeling for five consecutive times! Can't you let me win!"

Exiting the game screen, looking at the dazzling legend chart, Song Ren felt a pain in the ass.

His DOTA ladder score has come out, just like what Zhang Yi told him before.

He is a legend!

And it took more than half a month for him to stumble from Legend 2 to Legend 4, and he doesn't know how long it will take to live forever.

In addition, as a player who loves to choose Shadow Demon in the middle, he found that he was already a little powerless in this segment.

What made him even more unacceptable was that Zhang Yi's rank was still one stage higher than him, and it turned out to be Legend 5!

"Stop yelling, stop yelling, you'll be a legend if you call me again." Zhang Yi, who was in double row with him in his voice, pouted.

"Don't look down on people, I will definitely be able to last forever!" Song Ren said unconvinced.

"I'm looking forward to it." Zhang Yi hehe, and then said, "Are you still fighting?"

"I don't play for now. I'm a little bit bad luck today. It's not as good as playing well. My teammates are a little weak today. I'm going to play FOW's "Olympus" just to relieve the pressure." Song Ren shook his head and refused.

"Olympus? You don't play God of War?" Zhang Yi asked in surprise.

As avid fans of Nebula games, Zhang Yi and Song Ren are basically the first to play every new Nebula game.

This time, "God of War" just unlocked tonight, and they have all been pre-loaded in advance, just waiting to see the content of the demo version.

"Forget it, I'm afraid my blood pressure will explode." Song Ren shook his head.

"Olympus" on FOW has been open for testing. Song Ren also secretly experienced it before. It feels a little interesting to play, but it's a little bit confusing.

It's really that the perspective in the game is too complicated, and the combination of FPS and ACT gameplay is a bit uncomfortable for him who is used to "DOTA".

However, it is no problem to draw a fresh one, plus the foundation of DOTA, it is no problem for him to bully the rookie.

As for "God of War", although he also wanted to play it, he was also a little worried that after losing five games in a row, he felt that his emotions had collapsed. If this God of War was a soul game, he was afraid that his blood pressure would explode on the spot.

"Okay, then go and abuse the vegetables. I'll test the water for you first. If it's fun, I'll call you." Zhang Yi said.

"If it's fun, remember to call me. Of course, the **** soul game is difficult, so let me know in advance, so that I can be mentally prepared." Song Ren said.

"No problem." Zhang Yi replied.

The two chatted through the microphone. Zhang Yi stretched his waist and ran to the side of the VR game warehouse next to him. After cleaning up, he lay down and went in. He was a little curious and looking forward to it.

After entering the pre-loaded God of War through the Nebula game world, Zhang Yi became excited.

What did he see! ?

Difficulty options!

'Plot (you can easily experience the flow of the story)'

'Normal (not too hard, but not too easy)'

'Difficulty (I think you should be a challenger)'

‘God of War (Only the true God of War can complete this journey)’

As we all know, Mr. Chen's game has difficulty options, so it can't be a soul game!

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yi decisively chose the difficulty of the plot.

The name of the game is God of War, but it doesn't mean that he has to play God of War difficulty!

As the difficulty was confirmed, the game entered a brief black screen, and the sound of wind whistling kept coming from Zhang Yi's ears.

The screen appears.

He played a bald, muscular man with a naked upper body and red tattoo marks on his body.

But the next moment Zhang Yi scolded angrily.

"Fuck!!!"

Because at this moment, the bald muscular man in the game stepped towards the cliff ahead, and then began to free fall.

This is definitely a high-energy blow for him who is afraid of heights.

In the picture, the bald-headed muscular man fell with his head down, the whole person was not panic at all, full of calm as if he was going to die.

The surrounding scenery quickly passed by.

But compared to the calmness of this bald muscular man, Zhang Yi was panicking to death at this time.

At the same time, a hoarse female voice narrated.

'Kratos fell from the highest mountain in Greece, ten years of hardships, ten years of lingering nightmares, finally coming to an end. ’

'Death will be his last escape from all this. ’

Kratos?

Isn't the **** of war Ares?

Am I not playing God of War?

Hearing the voice of the narrator, a trace of doubt appeared in Zhang Yi's heart.

Although he knows very little about what myths are.

But it is also clear that there is no God of War in the mythology whose name is Kratos.

And the game seems to be set in Greek mythology.

But isn't the **** of war in Greek mythology Ares?

What is Kratos?

Did it change its name later?

Looking at Kratos who fell into the sea.

Zhang Yi, who had only a limited understanding of Greek mythology, had a few questions in his heart.
