Almighty Game Designer

Core players in domestic RTS games are also discussing such a brand new RTS game.

Some Legion Conquest player group.

“I heard there's a new RTS in the country, and it's been hot lately, and there's been a lot of discussion. ”

“I heard it's called Warcraft Competition. It's a Western illusion. ”

“... Really? Westfantasy and RTS aren't the two largest forbidden areas for domestic games? The Dynasty and Zen Yi companies are all in bloodshed. Who else wouldn't be afraid to touch it? Just two in a second? ”

“Thundering entertained each other, Chen's strange company. ”

“Chen Yu? Never heard of it. ”

“You've heard of Plant Wars Zombies, My Name is MT. ”

“Ah, isn't that a tour company? Transforming into a PC? And RTS? ”

“I'm really not afraid to die...”

“But the guy is said to be evil, to play any type of game, and to make a fire one. I've downloaded Warcraft Competition and will share it with you later! ”

“Go, master! The villagers are waiting for you to come back alive! ”

……

This group of players are all enthusiasts of RTS games, and the vast majority of them are playing Conquest of the Legion.

One nickname is Kaiser's group manager, and he asks, "Really? New RTS game? Address sent, I'll download one to see. ”

He spoke and instantly blew up a lot of people.

“Wow, K God wants to test the poison himself? Sure, I'll wait for the chicken to bless. ”

“K God is bubbling, wow, bullshit, photography. ”

“God K, Warcraft Games has to be downloaded on the Thunder Game Platform, so you can search for it. ”

This ID is Kaiser's guy, and the RTS game circle in the country is also a famous figure. The Legion Conquest game has several very famous gods in the country, Kaiser is kind of a.

However, Kaiser is not one of the top players, he is famous for his top ten players in the country, because he often complains in forums about the shortcomings of the Legion Conquest game and often writes letters of advice to foreign researchers and developers, which, of course, have hardly been accepted.

Kaiser is also an opinion leader in the domestic RTS player circle, with a bunch of fans, and his "Conquest of the Legion" teaching video also influenced a bunch of RTS players.

This guy was a perennial diver in the crowd and fits the cool image of the Great God, but he couldn't help but bubble when he heard of a new RTS game coming out today.

In fact, there are a lot of fans on the internet called K God, and he's just a sophomore in high school.

Xue Kai, Game ID: Kaiser, 17 years old, Grand Divine Player of Legion Conquest.

The Xerxes are very popular with RTS games and have captured a large number of fans through videos and live broadcasts, although he has always had great opinions about Conquest of the Legion.

A lot of suggestions have been written, but after all, this is a foreign game. Even if Xue Kai had someone translate the proposal letter into English, it would not have attracted the attention of the Legion Conquest R&D.

Therefore, Xue Kai has also been suffering from the absence of better RTS games, and has heard that there are designers in China who have developed an RTS game, and he is fortunate enough to try it.

What if, I mean, what if this game is fun?

Find the Thunder Game Platform, register your Thunder Game Pass, and download Warcraft Competition.

Soon, the download is complete.

The icon of the game is a young man with three evils, and although a small icon doesn't show much, it feels great.

Xue Kai double-clicked the icon to enter the game.

The first was an outdated CG, and the Thunder Game LOGO flashed by.

The whistling wind blows past and the lens dives from cloud to cloud, like a bird flying freely.

With the whirring wind beside your ears, a gentle melody sounds.

A crow flew across the mountains of snow, over the deserted valleys, and eventually to a flourishing human city.

The palace of mankind, King Rodin.

Numerous voices are talking, while old King Terrinus meditates on the throne.

At this time, the crow flew in from somewhere and landed in the middle of the hall, in front of the old king.

The background was turned low and this strange crow attracted the attention of the old king.

Just as people were arguing, a strange green light suddenly appeared on the crow, and in their stunned eyes, the crow turned into a human being.

Mademoiselle.

His face was hidden beneath the hood, but his voice echoed the entire hall.

“Humanity is in crisis. The tide of darkness will strike again and the world is on the brink of war! ”

“Your people's only hope is to move to the West, to the forgotten continent, Calimdo! ”

The old king looked serious and he stood up from the throne: "I don't know who you are or what your faith is. But now is not the time to make prophecies, our country is suffering from war, but it is up to us to decide how to protect our people! Not you!”

The melody of the moment became somewhat euphemistic.

Medevan's voice seemed a little lost: "I lost my humanity once, but I won't do that again. ”

“If you can't fix this, then I'll find someone else to fix it. ”

Mademoiselle turned around and went away, leaving a whispering voice.

“I have warned them, and now their fate is in their own hands. ”

The screen is dark, CG ends here and enters the game screen.

The CG is short, but it contains a lot of information, and Xerxes didn't pay attention to Azeras-related stories before, but he has learned a lot from this CG.

At a time when the kingdom of mankind was being invaded by the Orcs and the plague of the unknown was spreading, a mysterious prophet came to the palace of mankind, but his words did not attract the attention of the king.

A short CG that highlights all the suspense of the story. Although Xue Kai has no idea who Medevan is or what the human kingdom is, this CG succeeded in arousing his interest, that's enough.

Besides, CG is very well made.

The only thing missing in this world is money.

As long as the money is given, you can make great CG works, even if you can't fully reach the CG level of the top foreign works, it won't be much worse.

But the only problem is that the vast majority of game developers don't want to spend that money.

After all, CG is usually only 2 ~ 3 minutes, making money for a CG is fast catching up with R&D for a boutique hand swim.

How much did Chen Jiao pay to do these CGs?

It was uncertain in previous life how much it cost to make a CG out of a snowstorm, but it's fairly widespread to say that WLK's CG cost is $5 million for three minutes.

In parallel worlds, more developed animation and CG technologies, lower labor costs, and more advanced real-time computing technologies have reduced prices considerably.

Instead of choosing the highest level of CG, Chen Jiao chose a cheaper, relatively affordable CG level.

But even so, Chen Jiao spent over 37 million dollars.

That's it, still the result of the madness of the plot. Chen Jiao has cut off the less classic plots, can delete them, almost heartbroken to compress the budget, and finally compressed it to 37 million.

Like the opening animation of "The Warcraft Competition", it was replaced with this part of Mademoiselle's warning to the old king that the CG in front had been cut off.

In order to do these CGs, Chen Jiao basically lost all the money from the previous time pit. Even some places had insufficient budgets, so he could only combine the immediate calculations slightly, or replace it with a black-screen narrative, save it.

To be honest, without the support of a pit money game like "My Name is MT," Chen Jiao really doesn't have the money to do this kind of burning thing, at best it's a castrated version.

Chen stranger feels that if he opens up to doing these CGs, the cost is really easy to break, and he can't even afford to play with that much money right now.

The cost of the game itself, including art resources, is really nothing compared to the money to do CG, and now Chen Jiao is experiencing the phrase: “Ten years to play the game, nine years to do CG. ”

Su Jianyu didn't know anything about this, only Chen Jiao and Guo Feng, the person in charge of the dazzling aurora studio, were clearer. If Su Jinyu and Qian Xuan find out, they must be surprised.

After all, it's too risky. What if no one pays for Warcraft? Isn't that tens of millions?

How much money do you have to earn if you use all this money for a pit trip like "I'm MT"?

But Chan knows for sure, burn the money for CG value?

Other CGs are not necessarily, but being a Warcraft CG is too valuable! You know, every CG here is going to be a classic in the history of the game, even if it doubles again, it's worth it!

Chen Yao dared to burn all this money in because he knew that it was almost a steady and unpaid business. He could put up this golden sign of a warcraft, and some places would make money later.

Besides, 37 million into a knife. That's more than 6 million. That's cheap!

……

At this level, it seems very, very surprising to Xue Kai. Domestic gaming companies rarely spend so much money on CG, even foreign companies, Ken is such a mess.

Besides, this CG not only has qualities, but also connotations!

Xue Kai was instantly shocked and clicked to start the plot mode.

After a few chills between Alsace, Prince of Humanity, and Uther, the Messenger of Light, the battle officially began.

Here is a relatively simple action tip that directs Xue Kai to left-click to select the unit and right-click to move.

“Hmm? Different from Legion Conquest? ”

Xue Kai was somewhat surprised because Conquest of the Legion was the benchmark for RTS games, and few RTS games dared to change its settings in terms of basic operations.

As a senior player in the RTS game, Xue Kai did not fight for the first time, but studied the Warcraft Competition mode first.

Left-click to select, right-click to move. After selecting a unit, there are many command buttons in the lower right corner, including Move, Stop, Hold, Attack, Patrol, and Hero Skills.

Also, these actions have shortcuts.

“Stay in place? Patrol?”

Xerxes clicked the [Patrol] button and chose another location on the map, and Alsace immediately ran back and forth between the two points.

“There are so many types of operation, it's much richer than Conquest of the Legion.” Xue Kai was surprised.

Moreover, the setting of hero skills makes him feel special. In Legion Conquest, although there are some special units, there is no concept of “hero”.

In Warcraft Competition, heroes become one of the game settings, with hero avatars displayed in the upper left corner, and heroes have special skills that play a very critical role in battle.

In addition, there is an item bar in the lower right corner, and although there are no items yet, it is clear that this game supports obtaining and using item settings.

“Interesting, there are innovations in so many places. ”

Xerxes manipulated Alsace and started challenging the plot.

Alsace was also constantly talking in the process of completing the plot, responding to Xerxes' instructions.

“Of course.”

“For glory! ”

“May the Holy Light protect my people. ”

This is similar to Legion Conquest, but the localization of Legion Conquest is not perfect and many translations are somewhat awkward.

On the other hand, the characters' lines of "Warcraft Competition" are personally controlled by Chen strangers. There are previous generations of translations as a control and reference. These lines give Xue Kai a very natural feeling, with both the taste of Western illusion and the removal of intense translation cavities.

Xerxes manipulated Alsace and quickly cleared the first pocket.

After all, there is a very deep RTS foundation, and Xue Kai had no difficulty beating these plots and quickly passed through them with ease.

After completing the first small level, Xue Kai did not continue to hit the level, but cut to the desktop and sent a message in the group.

Kaiser: “Is this game really his bunker? Kill Legion Conquest in seconds!!!!! ”
