Game Development: Driving Players Crazy at the Start

Chapter 114

“Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” was released in Neon, priced at 4,999 Neon Coins. On the day of the launch, the sales reached 2 million copies.”

In October, when people enjoyed the rare long vacation, “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” was officially released in Neon.

Neon players finally got their wish and bought the game they were thinking of, and the country has also made a detailed report on the release of the game in Neon this time.

“Ghost, old thief Fang, you are too dark.”

“It is 268 in China. When converted into neon coins, it is about four thousand four hundred. Do you directly price five thousand in neon?”

“Fang Da 666, is this a surprise for our Xia Guo players?”

“Congratulations to the neon players for joining the method teaching class. Here you will learn how to write the characters’cai’ and’death’.”

The domestic players’ news about the release of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” in Neon is just for entertainment. After all, Neon matters have nothing to do with them.

However, the price of the game in Palace has made Xia Guo players happy to hear.

There is no doubt that the price of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” in Neon is much higher than that in China, which makes domestic players feel like watching it lively.

After all, they bought foreign games before, so the domestic bidding price is high.

Although I feel uncomfortable, I can’t help it. I can only pinch my nose if I want to play the game.

But now it’s all right, watching the neon pricing of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice”, the majority of players have a feeling of elation.

“Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” on the first day of Neon’s release, it rolled 10 billion neon coins, which translates into nearly 600 million yuan.

Such an exaggerated income makes the major domestic game makers jealous beyond recognition.

But jealousy goes to jealousy. Regarding the business ability of the Palace Game Company, they can only watch, and can do nothing except marvel and possess the lemon spirit.

While the outside world was dumbfounded by this terrifying profitability, Fang Zheng had already started a new plan.

It’s been a while since the release of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice”, and it’s time to prepare a new game.

In terms of the domestic game market alone, the hottest is undoubtedly “League of Legends”. Although “Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice” is also very popular, because of the game mechanics, players will have less fun after clearing the level. .

Of course, some true fans are not excluded from this, they will try different gameplays, and they will show up in a few weeks.

However, this kind of players is a minority after all. For most players, the game will be put on hold after one pass, and will only be played out when remembered occasionally, revisiting the original experience.

Fang Zheng’s consideration is exactly this. After the “Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice” level is cleared, players will always get tired of playing a “League of Legends”.

Especially after kneeling down in the qualifying position, that kind of mood… Tsk tsk, it’s unbearable to look back on the past.

So Fang Zheng thinks that players should change their moods.

“Why don’t you try Shouwang｀ 々?”

Fang Zheng touched his chin, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

“Overwatch” was a first-person shooter developed by Blizzard in the previous life. The game is based on the future and tells the entanglement between humans, Overwatch members, and mechanical intelligence.

Each character has its own unique weapons and skills, which is very different from other traditional design games.

The biggest feature of traditional shooting games is the types of firearms and shooting modes, but “Overwatch” is different. Each of his game characters has its own positioning.

The positioning of the role is different, the skills are also different, which also leads to each hero has its own unique gameplay.

Compared with traditional shooting games, “Overwatch” doesn’t mean that you can win if you play accurately. He needs to choose tactics according to the role he controls.

The heroes in “Overwatch” are generally divided into output, reload and support.

As the name suggests, the output is the firepower of the team. This position is a test of the player’s skills, such as McCree, Widowmaker, Genji and other heroes.

Reloaded warriors are the meat shields that players understand. Generally, these characters have shield skills or are relatively fleshy themselves. Among them, Reinhardt, Orisa, and D.VA are the representatives.

The support role is easier to understand, that is, support. This type of role has a relatively low output ability and is not as frank as a reloaded fighter, but their biggest role is to support and assist their own team.

Such as Lucio, Zenyatta, Anna, etc.

And it is very interesting that the characters in “Overwatch” also have restraint factors, just like the player who plays the sledgehammer least likes having a fort on the opposite side, and the player who plays the fort least likes the opposite Yenji.

Using the hero’s mutual restraint to achieve the goal of balancing combat power, this is a very clever setting in Overwatch.

As a first-person shooter game, “Overwatch” naturally has requirements for the accuracy of the player’s operation, but it is not as strict as traditional shooting games.

Reasonable selection of roles and close cooperation between team members are also the key to winning a game in Overwatch.

In a traditional shooting game, maybe you are a sniper god, and the enemy killed by a sniper gun in your hand is frightened, and it is not impossible to even win the game by relying on a sniper gun to destroy the team.

But this concept is different in Overwatch. Widowmaker is also a sniper, but at the same level, have you ever played an iron fist?

‘Sister, who are you aiming at? ’

This is one of the favorite words of previous Tekken players. Players who play Tekken also love the map for ten minutes to find Widowmaker players. After all, the role mechanism is there.

Therefore, Fang Zheng himself thinks “Overwatch” is a kind of innovation for the first-person shooter, he boldly added distinctive skills and role positioning mechanism.

(Zhao Hao)

It is more like a stitching monster, which stitches the elements of traditional shooting games with the skills and positioning elements of MOBA games such as “League of Legends” to create a product.

“.ˇ It’s decided it’s you!”

Fang Zheng recalled the setting of “Overwatch” for a while, and had an idea in his mind.

There are many FPS players in the player group, and the distinctive “Overwatch” will definitely win the love of such players.

Fang Zheng has no doubt about this, because it has been verified in the previous life.

Although the previous life “Overwatch” has declined for various reasons, this still cannot conceal the brilliance of this game.
