Chapter 807: Elf World (one more)

After the Spring Festival holiday, daily work will return to the right track.

Many young people who returned to the capital from their hometown brought back the matrix glasses that arrived during the Spring Festival, not only at the party, but even some people brought to their company.

During the Spring Festival, only the friends who are able to share the matrix glasses are friends and relatives in their hometown. Now, this range is extended to colleagues and friends in the workplace.

The heat of matrix glasses is still increasing. More and more people are under the enthusiasm of relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates, etc., and they have some resistance to temptation. They want to buy it for themselves.

This new smart device is changing people's lives step by step, subtly, and expanding at an extremely fast speed.

......

Chen Mo has also prepared a new year's research and development plan, the first game is the exclusive mr game for matrix glasses.

This is a mr game based on Chen Mo's previous classic games and added a lot of magic changes: "Elves World", the English name "pokemonorld".

As for why choose this game?

Because the essence of ar and mr games is: go out, which is the "go" highlighted in "pokemongo".

Different from vr, the mr game pays more attention to the combination of “virtual and real”, which connects the whole area through the game, so that the players also have an intersection in reality.

Although Chen Mo has launched the "Three Kingdoms Kill" and "Jumping" games for matrix glasses, their main purpose is to show players the characteristics of mr virtual combination, more of a kind of trick.

For example, "Three Kingdoms Kill", mr version of "Three Kingdoms Kill" compared to cards and pc games, the cool picture is its biggest highlight. But what if compared to vr games?

Suppose now that a vr version of "Three Kingdoms Kill" can be ten times more cool than the mr version of "Three Kingdoms Kill". After all, the performance of the game cabin is there.

The mr version of "Three Kingdoms Kill" focuses on "face killing". If it is "net killing", then there is no advantage in doing mr.

Therefore, Chen Mo chose to do "Three Kingdoms Kill" is also hope that players will go to face killing, do not go to match the online people. "Three Kingdoms Kill" supports the free combination of 2 to 8 people, the rules are relatively simple and easy to use, can be said to be very suitable for mr games.

But like chess, Go and other chess types, although you can also do mr games, the effect is not as good as "Three Kingdoms Kill".

Because most of these games are one-on-one battles, and the competitiveness and professionalism are much stronger than the "Three Kingdoms Kill". If four or five friends play together, there is no way to enter the same game. Only two or two battles can be split. If the total number is odd, the extra classmate is very embarrassed; and, between the player and the player. The level gap is too large and may make the game uninteresting.

At this time, on the contrary, the online version can match the opponent according to the points, and the game experience of the players can be guaranteed.

Therefore, similar chess games are not bad, but it is difficult to achieve "virtual and real combination", at most, it is to use a table in reality. Most of the pair of chess games are difficult to quickly spread the effect of viral spread.

Therefore, Chen Mocai finally finalized the "Elves World".

In terms of subject matter, "Elves World" will not fully copy "pokemongo", but will add more elves/pets.

In Chen Mo's past life, the success of "pokemongo" was benefited from the accumulation of ip for many years. From animation to generation after generation of console games, a large number of players have accumulated for this series. So at the beginning of "Pokemongo", many sentiments were touched with tears.

But in the parallel world, players don't have this feeling. Seeing a Pikachu or a super dream will not understand how precious this thing is.

It’s not impossible to do anime to sizzle ip. The problem is that it’s been too long, and Chen Mo couldn’t wait. The competition between smart glasses is so fierce, can an instant animation be fired all over the world? Not particularly realistic.

What's more, Chen Mo has a lot of ips in his hands, and there is no need to be obsessed with the contents of "pokemongo".

At least there are several popular or once popular ips available for Elf World:

Plants vs. Zombies, Yin Yang Shi, Diablo, League of Legends, Watching Pioneer, Super Mario, Dark Soul, all of which are available for use in these games. "Elves" material, such as pea shooter baby, big pineapple baby, Timo baby, mini fortress, Kuba baby, sewer baby, and so on.

What's more, Chen Mo and the entire world of Azeroth, you know, "World of Warcraft" is also a small pet battle game, that a bunch of weird things can all move over.

Even the games "flappybird", "My World", "Jesus Survival" can also be linked to the elves, such as pixel birds, square baby Steve, pan baby and the like.

"America's Doomsday" comes to a singer baby? Painting beauty does not look.

Of course, if all of this content is added up, then the total number of Elf libraries is estimated to explode, but in that case, there are materials...

Except for the sprites in "pokemongo", all the other materials need to be redone, and all other materials are ready-made. Moreover, the first version does not need to expand the entire "Elves World" inventory to a large extent, and the next batch of new elves will be.

If the ip is not enough, then take more ips to join, and then link with all the games on the Thunder game platform, no humble.

In terms of gameplay, "pokemongo" is still the main gameplay, but some other ar games such as "ingress" will also be added.

In other words, the core gameplay of Elf World is: Elf/Pet Collection, Elf/Pet Development, Elf/Pet Battle, Dojo Competition, and more.

This is also the core competitiveness of "Elves World" to become a super-explosive mr game: a large number of top-level ip stacking, full interaction with the real world, to maximize coverage of all people using smart glasses.

Even other gamers think that the cottage "Elves World" is difficult, because there are not so many ip. Moreover, in the absence of greater innovation in the gameplay, the game that comes out later is unlikely to surpass the first-mover advantage of Elf World.

......

After the idea is roughly settled, there are some specific details.

The design concept is not difficult to write, because the gameplay of Elf World is very mature, and the problems that need to be entangled are mainly in two aspects.

The first is to unify the style of painting, consider the performance of combat special effects, and provide players with the best mr visual effects as much as possible.

The second is to do a numerical balance between such a large number of elves and the entire combat system.
