Almighty Game Designer (Almighty Video Game Designer)

Chapter 233: R&D completed (two more)

VR games greatly broaden the player's field of vision. When faced with a lot of monsters, VR's first-person perspective can still clearly determine the distance of the monsters' azimuth.

Various range of damage skills are released through consciousness, not through the mouse and keyboard, thus minimizing errors.

While the VR form has greatly enhanced the immersion, Yan Zhenyuan also adjusted some of the contents of Diablo that are not suitable for VR games, such as:

Slightly reduce some genre styles, try not to do too disgusting monsters in the monster design, reducing the player's discomfort.

Level terrain construction, brushing monsters, as far as possible, the player will not be enemies, do not need to look left and right frequently to prevent players from fatigue.

Appropriately reduce the speed of the monster movement, so that the difficulty of the player "Kite" monster is greatly reduced.

In short, the game "Thousand Prisons" has adjusted the difficulty in the early stage, so that players can easily experience the thrill of "brushing", and they will not be confused and vomit themselves.

In addition, this game draws on some of the success elements of "Diablo", such as skill system, equipment system, post-playing and so on.

It can be thought that this game to the later stage, the main core fun is also to build a unique BUILD, brush monster equipment.

As a VR game, the resources of "Thousand Prisons" are relatively small, because different layers of hell, art materials can be reused, and the map is randomly generated, there is no need to store so many complicated levels.

At the same time, as a brush brush game, its plot content and various derivative games are relatively small, unlike other large MMORPGs, so the investment is not so huge.

(This feeling is a bit like "Diablo 1".)

Therefore, Chen Mo judged that the emperor's mutual entertainment should be very satisfied with this game. Yan Zhenyuan completed the task that Lin Chaoxu had handed him.

Next, it should be an overwhelming publicity and promotion, for the "Thousand Prisons" to build momentum, and strive to make it into another fist product of the emperor and mutual entertainment.

However, Chen Mo is very clear, even if "Thousand Prisons" is doing well, it always has an unsolvable injury, that is, the number of players.

Brushing in a VR game, it sounds really cool, but the number of players on the VR platform is inherently lower than the PC platform, and players who like this dark style are certainly a minority.

Therefore, "Thousand Prisons" will definitely earn, but the explosion is impossible.

Of course, the emperor's mutual entertainment did not expect this game to make a big profit. The VR game is hugely invested, and the R&D investment is one year. When the line is on the line, if the profit can exceed twice the cost, then it will earn a lot. It is.

If Chen Mo is developing other VR games, he is really not sure if he can win. After all, he has not done VR games before, and he is not so skilled in all aspects. He may inevitably step on some pits. This is a problem accumulated by experience.

But, "My World"?

Chen Mo is confident that his own VR version of "My World" will definitely shock the entire game circle.

......

After the first test of "Thousand Prisons", "My World" was officially developed.

This time, "My World" is a real VR version, complete body, not only covers the classic gameplay on the PC side of the past, but also made many modifications to the VR platform, and all aspects have been greatly improved.

While retaining the pixel wind, the quality of art has improved.

Perfectly fits the VR platform.

Four game modes, building trading systems, and new technology trees have all been completed.

The studio is full of joy.

At the beginning, many people had some doubts about the game, but after the finished product came out, everyone was full of praise.

Especially after the experience in the game cabin, everyone was shocked that this game is so compatible with the VR platform!

Although many people still have some doubts about whether this game can defeat "Thousand Prisons", one thing is basically everyone's consensus, that is, this game will definitely earn.

It’s hard to say that earning more and earning less depends on many factors, such as promotion, player feedback, and... metaphysics.

Chen Mo said: "Everyone has worked hard. In the following period, everyone is doing the follow-up work. Yunting, you go to "Plants vs. Zombies", "Warcraft" and "Famine" to screen a batch of seed players out. It must be a very creative player, such as players who have made a variety of hot mods, let them be our first users."

"There is no VR game room in the experience store. I will not put the PC version of "My World" in the experience store. If the players want to play, they can download the "My World" test version in the VR game room at home. ”

Zhao Yunting nodded: "Okay, no problem."

Chen Mo continued: "Everyone is still staring at it. See how the feedback from the seed players on this game, and summarize the player's opinions to me. Some really unreasonable places still have to be revised. Others have nothing to do, They helped me build a house in the game."

"Don't relax in the final stage, stand up for the last shift."

"And, Lin Xiao, you inform the major game media, I will open a new game conference."

Lin Xiao quickly nodded: "Okay, then, do I need to prepare for the PPT at the press conference?"

Chen Mo said: "No, I am going to prepare myself. When you arrive, arrange the location of the conference, find a nearby five-star hotel, try to get a little higher. This is our first VR game. Formally up."

Lin Xiao nodded: "Okay, no problem!"

......

Both My World and Thousand Prisons have entered the final revision phase.

The propaganda campaign of "Thousand Prisons" has also been fully launched, which is overwhelming.

Various video websites, game websites, major forums, VR game cabins, built-in advertising spaces... The promotional materials of "Thousand Prisons" can be seen everywhere.

Many game media are also posting the first publicity.

"The pioneering VR game masterpiece is about to go online! 》

"The latest masterpieces of the emperor's mutual entertainment, the world of the devil's magic!" 》

"The latest original paintings of Qiang prison shocked exposure! 》

In fact, as early as before, the people who eat melons have gotten more or less some winds, knowing that the emperor is developing a VR game similar to Diablo.

Moreover, some players have already participated in the test, and have experienced the game of "Thousand Prisons", including gameplay, career settings, player feedback, etc., all of which have already flowed online.

Most of the players who have played "Thousand Prisons" are full of praise for this game, because this is a very complete VR game, no obvious defects in all aspects, and as the first VR game platform brush Brushing the game to a certain extent fills the gap in the market.
