Almighty Game Designer

Soon, the three of them finished reading Chen's draft concept.

The concept paper depicts the prototype of the game, including core fun, infrastructure, and more. Basically, after reading the draft concept, the three of them also had some idea of the final form of the game Warcraft Competition.

But to make Chan stranger more surprised, the three of them threw up the name of the game first.

“Warcraft? That's a strange name. Why don't you call it Azerus?” Zheng Hongxi scratched his head.

“The word 'competition’ is quite good and more in line with the characteristics of instant strategic games. But wouldn't that name be a little like Conquest of the Legion?” Qian Xiao said.

“But what is a warcraft... Azerus has an animal, a dead spirit, but no warcraft...” Zheng Hongxi is still involved in this problem.

Su Jinyu was somewhat worried about the prospects of the game: “Well, store manager, I studied it and found that RTS is basically a unique area of" Legion Conquest ", and there are several domestic manufacturers who want to try to do RTS, but it's not very successful. Can we do Legion Conquest? ”

Chen Qiao is speechless. Why is it so strange to focus?

But then again, Warcraft Competition's English is WARCRAFT, and it really has nothing to do with Warcraft. But this translation is a good reflection of the type of game, and it's very bold, so it becomes a classic translation, and “Warcraft” becomes a proprietary term.

“Don't worry, you don't have to question my ability to be famous or my predictions of game development.” Chen Jiao said.

Su Jinyu said: "Wow, the manager is very prestigious. When do we start doing this? ”

"Take it easy," said Chen Qiao. "Divide the labor first. ”

“First of all, Hiroshi, you do the plot setting. I'm going to give you an overview of the plot, which is mostly about Elidan and Alsace, and you have to keep that in mind. ”

“Mission descriptions, dramatic conversations, troop sizes, architectural descriptions, etc. are all clear to you without my emphasizing them. ”

“What derives from this is the racial architecture and military set in the game. We are now four races, mankind, the Orcs, the Pokémon, the Immortals. The four races of soldiers and buildings are completely different. When considering packaging, it is necessary to consider the compatibility with the plot, which you should consult with Qian Qian. ”

“This plot is far from enough to achieve the Lifeline, and you have to be prepared. This plot is going to be a classic. ”

Zheng Hongxi wiped the sweat off his forehead: “I'll try. ”

Chen Qiao continued: “Qian Qiao, you are mainly responsible for the level and value. You and Hiroshi discuss the equilibrium of the various forces, the level from easy to difficult, the growth of heroic properties, and so on. ”

“The first step is to make all the numerical models, which you should understand. It's a long term job and doesn't need to be in place one step at a time. ”

Chen Qiao hasn't finished yet, Su Jinyu added: "Yes, anyway, the manager will tell you: Good, but rewrite. ”

"Well, yes," said Zheng Hongxi. ”

Chen Jiao: “...”

Qian Qian: “...”

Chen Qiao continued: "Others, goldfish, you help me make some character and scene original concepts. There are rules, and you know more about them. ”

Su Jianyu nodded. “Understood. ”

"There's plenty of time to go over the Azerus universe, and there's a lot of stuff up there that you can use directly," said Chan. In addition, elements like the Western phantom worldview can also be used as inspiration, such as the Spiritual Commandment. ”

Once you've arranged your assignment, everyone starts to get busy.

Of course, it is impossible to expect Zheng Hongxi and Qian Xuan to perfectly replicate the drama and setting of Warcraft Competition. Chen Qiao also has to give them a big framework guide.

Back to the studio, Chen Jiao used the memory to recall the drops, and began to recall memories that had been faded away.

Time seemed to be back many years ago, when playing games at an internet cafe was one afternoon.

First of all, the ranks.

There are not a lot of soldiers in Warcraft Competition. There are four races, each with about 12.

Chen begins to column charts, plotting attributes for each category, including price (Golden Wood population), attack speed, attack distance, movement speed, attack type, armor type, HP, Magic value, attack defense (primary, intermediate, advanced), special abilities, and more.

After that, Chen Qiao filled in the various soldiers in turn, starting with the Dark Night Elves: Pokémon, Archer, Huntress, Blade Truck, Horn Eagle Beast...

For each group, plan their attributes according to what's in the list.

In fact, for Chen Jiao, with his current numerical abilities, even without the use of memory discharge solution, it is sufficient to complete the entire numerical architecture independently.

However, in order to exercise Qian Yu, Chen decided to give Qian Yu a big framework first so that he could figure it out.

And then there's architecture.

The Warcraft Competition architectural system is still complex, and the buildings here are not like the Red Alert, where the buildings exist only as a functional module, brittle as paper paste.

More than a dozen mobilized troops randomly blew up the barracks and took machine guns. It's not even scientific to think about that.

Buildings in Warcraft Competition are basically urban armor. Only certain types of troops can be dismantled relatively quickly. Like junior soldiers, urban armor is close to itching, and farmers repair it and it is full.

In addition, players can make their bases safer through architectural card slots.

With the inclusion of architectural attributes in the entire numerical balance system, the unknown theft of households in the Red Police became rare.

In addition, Architectural Upgrading, Production and other settings, Warcraft Competition is also doing very well. The battalion can be upgraded from Level 1 to Level 3. Is it the advanced soldiers who climb the technology first? Or is it a direct junior soldier push or TR? Technology-related settings significantly increase the number of strategies available to players.

In addition, what different buildings produce, what kinds of technology they have, how the buildings are positioned… these are all factors to consider.

In addition to producing primary battle units like archers and female hunters, ancient war trees like Dark Night Pokémon also have 1000 HP and good attack power and can even be restored by eating trees.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that many professional players choose to use ancient war trees to aid brushing and improve brushing efficiency, which is also a conventional tactic of dark night elves.

The types of troops and architectural settings are the essence of Warcraft Competition and deserve a lot of time for planning.
