Chapter 316 Map Making
It’s not a very long official blog, but a very simple news is announced.
‘After National Day, the Nebula Game Carnival will be held in the Jiangshi Sports Hall, and the latest news about Nebula Game will be brought to everyone. The first official e-sports competition of "Oh God" and "Warcraft" will also be held at the Carnival. For details, please pay attention to the official website of Nebula Games.’
As soon as the news spread, the players were shocked.
Is Nebula Games going to hold a carnival?
The players who heard this news were stunned for a moment.
Game companies hold carnivals, which is not unfamiliar. Let’s not talk about the three top game companies such as NetDragon, Tenghua and Phoenix. Second-tier game companies such as Rujiasheng also have their own game carnivals every year.
But suddenly I heard the news that Nebula Games said they would also hold a game carnival, which still gave people a feeling of being unbelievable.
But then all the players thought about the lineup of Nebula game development carefully, and suddenly they felt that this was a reasonable thing.
"Resident Evil", "Metal Gear", "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", plus "Yu Gay" and "Warcraft" that have just been released and "Assassin's Creed" that are famous but invisible, none of the games under Nebula Games are simple.
In addition to the previous games of Nebula games, such as "The Union of Isaac", "The Traveler of the Eight Directions" and "Escape", it can be said that Nebula games have this foundation to hold carnivals.
However, what interested players even more is what news is brought to everyone by Nebula Games.
Countless people are having hot discussions online.
"Are there any brothers who team up with each other after National Day??"
"The first carnival of Nebula Games, you have to go for leave!"
"I'm a little afraid of scalpers. The first carnival of Nebula Games, can't this ticket be sold to the sky?"
"+1. If the tickets are too expensive, I feel like I can only watch the live broadcast and get a free time."
"So what everyone is most concerned about is, is there any news that will be announced in Nebula Games? Will the new game "Assassin's Creed"??"
"Don't mention it, Nebula Games knows how to draw big cakes. At that time, the news of "Assassin's Creed" came out first, but the final product of "Warcraft" came out first."
"+1. Although the game quality of Warcraft is nothing to say, I really can't play rts. I know all kinds of details, but I just can't do it."
Players are discussing the news that Nebula Game will hold a carnival in major forums and communities, while Tenghua and Jiasheng are also starting to promote their new games.
Nebula Games announced a carnival. Even if a new game was announced, it would take some time to preheat the promotion with the release date.
Obviously, this will definitely not be able to collide with Nebula Games during October, and it will be a long time since Warcraft will be launched, and its popularity will slowly be restored.
In October, this battlefield belongs to Tenghua and Jiasheng.
Players are paying more attention to the Nebula Game Carnival and the news they will announce at that time.
The game industry is more concerned about this 3A showdown between Tenghua and Jiasheng.
Yang Chen was working with the team on the production of the "Warcraft" map editor.
Compared with other Nebula games in previous games, "Warcraft", the main reason is that the RTS type is too difficult for most players to get started.
Some players often say something to others when recommending their favorite games. As long as you experience it for an hour or two and practice more, you will be able to experience the fun of this game.
But one thing I overlooked is that others may not be able to get started, or they are not interested.
The rts game is such a type.
Even if e-sports events are launched in the future, their development is still limited.
First of all, the viewing of RTS is not as high as that of e-sports projects like FPS. Secondly, the difficulty of getting started with RTS is not as good as FPS. Cloud viewers can enjoy watching it, and they can also go up and shoot one or two shots. If they are lucky, they can get one or two kills.
But if the RTS technology is not good, no matter how lucky you are, you can't beat others.
So how to make "Warcraft" popularized on a large scale? Yang Chen focused his main focus on the map editor.
Yang Chen has completed the corresponding mode and numerical aspects of several maps that are provided by the official, including the material library provided by the map editor.
"How much has the map been completed at present?" Yang Chen from the project team said to Wang Ye.
"The maps of 'True Three Kingdoms', 'dota', 'Daught in the Western World, 'Oh Gay', 'Guardian Jian Pavilion' have been completed, and the model materials have also been completed. The rest are bug tests on the map." Wang Ye said to Yang Chen.
He did not produce these contents, they were outsourced. After all, these RPG maps are technically not very difficult for them.
After all, all mechanisms are based on the mechanism of "Warcraft" itself. For example, the added map code, model import and event production can be completed through the map editor.
Yang Chen is not planning to make too many maps in "Warcraft". The main reason is that when the map editor is released in the early stage, players can know what kind of map the map editor can make.
Among them, "True Three Kingdoms Wushuang" and "dota" are competitive games. For example, the former is named in the map, and the latter is more magical, which gives different players two choices. The gameplay is similar. Each player chooses a hero, earns money by replenishing troops and buys equipment, upgrades and knocks down the other party's hometown to win.
The "Daught in the Western World" is similar to the traditional RPG game, where players play as a hero to trigger the plot, then use monsters to fight equipment to upgrade the dungeons, and finally kill the final boss.
The same is true for the 'Guarding Sword Pavilion', but it has changed from taking the initiative to becoming a defending point.
As for the popularity of "Yu-Yu" in "Yu-Yu", it is not called "Hi" to play cards, but tower defense.
Draw monsters, magic cards, trap cards in "Oh God" to block monster attacks.
Although it is very simple in content elements, it has various ways of playing.
There is not much problem with the design and development of maps at that time. The key is to manage the map mod community, which is a relatively critical factor.
As for whether to give the map maker a lot of rewards, Yang Chen and Xu Yu discussed a lot.
That is, just like "Biochemical Survival", for some particularly excellent maps, corresponding jewelry appearance props can be added. The Nebula Game Department will also provide some help to mod makers, of course, this cannot affect the game value.
In addition, 50 maps will be selected every month and a subsidy of 5,000 will be given to each producer.
Of course, for the map review of "Warcraft", Nebula Games also needs to conduct a special community review, such as entering the chat group password, and then obtaining hidden characters or equipment codes. This kind of small operation is not allowed.
Give players a purer game environment, and as long as the creator is well done and can attract players, Nebula Games will naturally find ways to generate revenue for you, and even if the players don’t buy it, they will give you money.
But if you want to play tricks outside this disk, such as joining a group to buy hidden characters, and sending you a code to bind the map to your account, then sorry, don't make maps here.
Chapter completed!
