Almighty Game Designer

After explaining the design ideas for the new version of Dark Destruction and Famine, we started working together.

Chen Jiao's main energies are still concentrated here in "The Dark God of Destruction". The new scenes, new professions and new plots in the information film are all for him to take care of, so he's still busy.

While Zheng Hongxi and Qian Hui were responsible for the details of the film, Su Jinyu took a small group of people with him to research and develop the Hunger game.

In previous life, Dark 3 had a bad response when it was first released. In a very short time, there was a massive loss of players, especially before Dark 2 Pearl Ball. Many old players did not recognize Dark 3 as an authentic continuation of Dark 2 and evaluated the bloodshed.

This situation did not improve until the Sickle of Souls was released.

Prior to the release of the film, the Metacritic player rating for Dark 3 was only 41 per cent, while after the release the number rose to 72 per cent.

After the release of Sickle of Souls, the reputation of Darkness 3 players has risen dramatically, and it can be said that Darkness 3 before and after the release of the information film is two different games altogether.

And the way to save it is with a few points that Chen Jiao analyzed before.

Increasing the ladder leaderboard, removing the peak level cap, closing the auction line, changing the color scheme of the new scene, constantly adding new ways to play, redefining the difficulty division, adding new season modes...

These moves allowed the players to find fun in Dark 3 again, pulling Dark 3 back from the edge of death.

In parallel worlds, although Chan has made many changes to Dark 3 to bring it closer to Dark 2 in terms of artistic standards, there is still a risk of subsequent weakness in the game.

In fact, the most important reason is that the taste of the player has changed. The design of Dark 2 is very classic, creating countless precursors, which is true, but also taking into account that there were no powerful competitors at that time, and the old players miss it, including many emotional ingredients.

If you really were to make a local version of Dark 2 in HD, you wouldn't really be able to succeed, after all, the whole market environment is completely different.

In Chen's previous life, the original class of Dark 2 horses also produced Torch Light after leaving the northern snowstorm, and there are games like Terror Dawn on STEAM.

However, whether the original "Torch Light" or the "Terror Dawn" with its very “Dark Wind” style is far less successful than "Dark 3", which can be said to be far from it.

The reasons for this are complex, but “changing times” is clearly a very important one. Time-shifting is easy, and it is obviously not possible to look at the problem in a sword-sharing manner.

The Sickle of Souls version of Darkness 3 was the most successful third-party perspective RPG of the time launched by the blizzard after learning the lesson, so Chen Qiao also had to absorb some of the essence of the Sickle of Souls version, thus extending the life of Darkness Destroyer.

As for the Hunger game.

Just like the production of Lifeline at the time, Chan Wants Su Jinyu and others to have some fun and some inspiration in the production of Famine.

So, instead of giving too many specific settings, Chen Jiao lets them think about the settings in the game and make the most of their imagination.

In Chen's previous life, Famine was a stand-alone game, but it was definitely not unusual.

The online version of Famine reaches a cumulative sales volume of 5 million in the country on Steam, and after logging into the TGP platform, the two-week sales volume exceeded the million mark, with over 5 million sales in the first month.

As a boutique single-machine game, the charm of Famine need not be questioned. Chen Jiao made this game, but also wanted to explore the acceptance of the open world and sandbox games by the players of the world, while finding something for his employees to do so that they would not be left idle.

……

While researching and developing the new version of Dark God of Destruction and Hunger, Chen Qiao is also busy with the overseas version of Dark God of Destruction.

With the previous cooperation of Warcraft Competition, the person in charge of meteorological technology did not try to bargain with Chen Yu this time, and both sides soon finalized the development of the overseas edition of Dark Destruction God.

Mainly there is the success precedent of "Warcraft Competition". In addition, the achievements of "Dark Destruction God" in the country are very eye-catching, so there is nothing to worry about on the part of meteorological technology.

The promotion strategy is the same as before, global synchronization.

With the previous Warcraft Competition paved the way, everything went smoothly, and Chen Qiao was reassured. Just once in a while, ask the translation questions and try to ensure that the English version reproduces the spirit of Dark Destruction God.

Chen Qiao doesn't pay much attention to the performance of the Dark God of Destruction overseas. Even if it can't be fired, it certainly won't be bad. The immediate priority is to make a new version of Sickle of Souls first.

……

Chen Yu was busy this day and received a call.

It turns out that Xu Xiaojun, the head of the Imperial Dynasty's mutual entertainment game promotion channel, called.

Chen Qiao, why is he calling?

The two people had been in contact before. That was the time I called MT. Lin Zhaoxu asked Xu Xiaojun to talk to Chen Yu about the recommended position.

But since then, the two men have not contacted each other. After all, everyone knows that Chen Qiao's ambition is quite significant. He and the Emperor are natural enemies of each other.

Chen Qiao answered the phone: "Hello? ”

Xu Xiaojun said: "Hello, Mr. Chan. Here's the thing, I'm calling to talk to you about cooperation. ”

Chen Jiao: “Cooperation? ”

Xu Xiaojun said: "Yes. Here's the thing, your Dark God of Destruction sales are very good, I wonder if you have any ideas about turning it into a VR game? ”

Chen Qiao said: “I don't have this intention at the moment, if nothing else...”

Xu Xiaojun hastily said: “Wait a minute, listen to our side of the idea. In fact, the worldview of" Dark Destruction God "is a relatively dark, desperate worldview, and the atmosphere of the whole game is immersive. Considering the fact that the player plays a hero in saving the world and has a strong sense of freakishness, this game is better suited for VR games. ”

“The Imperial Dynasty entertains each other and hopes to work with you to create the VR version of Dark God of Destruction. Of course, given that you are the creator of this game, we will fully respect your creative opinion. ”

“You may not have the ability to independently develop VR games and funding is relatively scarce, so what do you think we'd like to arrange for an S-level designer to work with you to create a VR version of Dark Destroyer? ”

A moment of silence, Chan said, “I don't think so. I'll develop my own VR version of Dark Destroyer, and I won't bother with that. ”

“Don't hesitate to say no, hello? ”

Xu Xiaojun hasn't finished his speech yet. Chen Jiao has hung up.
