Number One Game Designer

The more Fang Xi gets in touch with e-sports and this type of work, the more he feels that e-sports is really far from traditional games.

What players expect most in traditional games is the new plot and new mechanism. Everyone is looking forward to and pursuing something cool or something that can move players.

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

The role of this game, that is, the hero, was born in a more traditional game studio. The designers here are more streamlined than traditional gamers. You only need to be a character, you don’t need to think about the landscape, and then It is the most important numerical planning team in the whole link. It will add a number of mechanisms and values ​​to the hero, and finally push 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 do it again. Adjust accordingly.

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

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

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

Use a reasonable matching mechanism to control the winning rate of all players at 50%, and then use the ranking system to rank the players. The essence of this system is to take care of the gaming experience of the vast majority of people, which is also the essence of competitive games. The way to survive. Otherwise, in an unbalanced game, you can rely on unbalanced mechanics or heroes to abuse others, but others can also use the unbalanced point to abuse you. In the end, the negative experience will become bigger and bigger like a snowball, and eventually lead to the game Crash.

Fang Xi also reflected on his mistakes. For himself, e-sports is familiar, but for the world, e-sports is just a piece of what a man named Fang Xi suddenly brought within a year. Trends, eternity can only be said to be fun, but the distance makes everyone familiar and accept the concept of e-sports, it still takes some time to polish.

Therefore, under comprehensive consideration, Fang Xi launched his own official law enforcement agency, which is the "black robe picket team" he told Lin Rongchang.

For Fang Xi, if you think there is a problem with low income, come directly to yourself and make it clear, and then everyone sits down and thinks of a solution together. This is OK.

But if you want to take risks by yourself and do something that is not good for everyone, then it is not OK. In this way, Fang Xi will only clear the other party out of his circle, lest a mouse **** will ruin a pot of soup.

Therefore, this kind of law enforcement agency that overrides several major competition regions is also helpless: Fang Xi can see the bright future of the e-sports league, they can't see it, this league is Fang Xi in the final analysis, so he pays more attention to word-of-mouth and long-term. Development, but for many people below, they only work part-time. They value personal interests. Today is gambling. No matter what, tomorrow may be the murderer.

Although so many have happened in such a short period of time, these intense exchanges are destined to be difficult to be known to the outside world. For eternal fans in the Asia-Pacific region, the only change they know is that it seems that a team in Europe has been removed from the list. It's gone. For many fans, this matter has not been fermented before it has been officially extinguished.

What followed was that the practitioners all knew about the existence of the "black robe picket", this department that has the right to view the financial reports of all teams, this department that has the right to directly report Fang Xi, and all those who are engaged in sneaky small actions at a time. 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 bit 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 China and 3 are in South Korea. There are 2 in Japan, 1 in Malaysia, and 1 in Thailand and Vietnam.

The official announced that these teams have officially started bidding, and each team needs to have its own e-sports stadium as a home arena. The official welcomes municipal governments or companies in each region to discuss cooperation with teams affiliated to their regions and negotiate their own city. As a home issue. The future Eternal League will also cancel the current three venue rotation mode, but will become the home and away league mode.

This is a model familiar to young people who are concerned about 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 pit." After reading the announcement, Yu Jiashu complained to the water friends.

"Anchor, didn't you rely on luck to eat? You still know this!"

"Anchor, are you a friend of Boss Hongyi!"

"Anchor, you still understand this in the "Eternal" dish?"

So Yu Jiashu is not happy:

"Although I play a game, although I don't know the staff of Hongyi, although I eat by luck, I have also taken a plane."

"I'm telling you that this competition is also based on the actual situation, just like our domestic counterparts."

"But you still have a Malaysian team in this game. The remote ones are not good. It takes four or five hours to come by plane. Then you play a game and it takes as long as you can on the road."

"So I later heard that several teams in Southeast Asia simply rented a villa on Qiong Island together. Although it saved a lot of things, it was not a long-term solution. Nominally, participating in a game would have to live in a foreign country for a long time. I am not comfortable either."

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

Drinking awkwardly, Yu Jiashu continued to explain:

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

"So, just like this time, Haifang City will definitely have a team selected as the home court. At that time, the name of the team in the league will be linked to Haifang City. Isn't winning the championship or something related to having honor? "

"Moreover, this has the advantage that it may be a development opportunity for some inland cities. As long as the municipal 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 The city must really want these teams to repair their home games."

"But what I am more curious about..." Yu Jiashu raised his head and recalled the talented young man who didn't seem to be a few years older than him:

"I wonder if there will be a team in Beiyang City where Hongyi is located?"
