Chapter 187: An RPG map

Views:

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Chen Mo returned to Beijing and returned to the experience store.

The current imperial capital has ushered in a large-scale crowd. People who left Beijing years ago have already rushed back from all over the country to prepare for the new year's work.

The hustle and bustle of years ago has come to an end, people who have just finished their annual vacation are still a little confused, and the pedestrians on the road all look like they have eaten too much and haven't woken up.

Chen Mo opened the door of the experience store and walked in.

Been away for over a week and everything is business as usual. Chen Mo put the computer chairs on the first floor back, then found a quick rag, wiped the table, wiped the massage chair, and arranged all the mobile phones and tablets on the massage chair neatly.

There has always been a special person in charge of cleaning in the store, but the experience store has been closed for the past few days during the Chinese New Year, so there is still a little bit of undetectable dust accumulated.

Chen Mo cleaned it carefully. After all, this was his first experience store. From having nothing to the current small achievement, he still has feelings for this place.

"The store manager? Are you back?" a voice said.

Chen Mo turned around and saw Zou Zhuo standing at the door, looking at him in surprise.

"Well, I just came back. Happy Chinese New Year. Have a drink?" Chen Mo took a can of Coke and threw it to Zou Zhuo.

Zou Zhuo took the drink: "Thank you, manager, you too, happy new year."

Zou Zhuo himself is a local and lives nearby. He came out for a walk after dinner today, and happened to meet Chen Mo's experience store opening.

Zou Zhuo was very excited, because Chen Mo was usually too busy, and Zou Zhuo wanted to play a game with him, but he couldn't find a chance. It happened that there was no one in the experience store after the year, so he was caught.

Zou Zhuo turned on a machine: "The store manager, can you teach me two dishes?"

Chen Mo smiled: "Okay, it happens to be fine, come."

Turn on the computer, log in to the game, create a private room, and start the game.

An hour later, Zou Zhuo played gg for the third time.

The little fat man scratched his head helplessly: "I won't come, I won't come, the gap is still too big, there's nothing to play."

After playing three rounds in one hour, Zou Zhuo's undead was abused three times by Chen Mo with elves, undead, and orcs.

Chen Mo said: "It's not bad, your level has improved quite quickly."

Zou Zhuo was a little helpless: "It's still too far away, wait for me to go back and study the video carefully."

Chen Mo said: "Actually, you can play the Ice Armor Spider style well now, and the operation is not bad, but some details are not handled well. I suggest that you can practice other races more if you have nothing to do, so that when you fight It is easier to grasp the opponent's psychology. Sometimes you can make a lot of money by catching the opponent's leveling."

Chen Mo explained some tactics and details to Zou Zhuo. After listening, Zou Zhuo felt that he had learned a lot and nodded frequently.

"What are we going to play next?"

Chen Mo looked at the games on the computer in the experience store.

The most in-depth "Warcraft" is a bit tired of playing. As for other games, "Plants vs. Zombies", "Wulin Heroes", "Onmyoji", etc., are even less attractive to Chen Mo.

Zou Zhuo suggested: "How about the store manager, let's play the RPG map of Warcraft? There is a map that is very popular recently. I played it a year ago and it was very fun."

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay."

Zou Zhuo quickly found this picture, created a room on the Internet, and invited Chen Mo in.

Soon, two passers-by came and the room was full.

Chen Mo took a look. This rpg map is called "Sacred Realm". The background of the story is adapted from a western fantasy novel of the same name. In this map, four players play the role of paladin, wizard, thief, and archer respectively. , explore the entire big map, and finally defeat the evil boss behind the scenes to save the world.

Zou Zhuo said: "Shop manager, you are better at handling, play the wizard here, I will play the paladin, and I will give you blood."

Chen Mo chose the wizard, and started to experience this rpg map with Zou Zhuo and two other passers-by.

Generally speaking, this map is well done. On the official forum of "Warcraft", it has always been the top few. There are a large number of players playing it, and there are many strategies.

The level setting is reasonable, the combat system is rich, and the numerical system is perfect. The most important thing is that this game is a Western fantasy theme, which fits very well with the art resources of "Warcraft". After using the materials in the game, it is like a finished game without any sense of disobedience.

There are human villages, elven cities on isolated islands, and the eerie land of the dead. The scenes of adventures give people a strong sense of substitution.

Chen Mo couldn't help but praise: "It's a great job, this author has a deep understanding of Western Fantasy."

Zou Zhuo nodded: "Yes, the main reason is that he used the story background of "The Sacred Realm", so it's not as exciting as other domestic Western fantasy games. But it's a pity that this author has no copyright, only It can be played as a fan work, and it can’t really be made into a game that charges for profit.”

Chen Mo asked: "Hasn't "Sacred Realm" been changed into a game abroad? Is there no national server version?"

Zou Zhuo said: "Yes, there is, but it is a small vr game. It seems that the game company that bought the copyright encountered financial problems and developed a vr game hastily. In the end, it couldn't afford such a big world, so this game is sold abroad. It’s okay, it’s not particularly popular in China.”

"Besides, that game is different from this rpg map. Most of the large-scale mmorpg games now have a problem that they are not refreshing enough. Just like "Warcraft", it takes a lot of effort to kill a monster of the same level, although it is quite balanced , It’s true, but a little boring.”

"I think, why the rpg map is so popular is because it's very fun to play in it. Killing a hundred or eighty monsters with one knife is like chopping vegetables. It's very exciting."

Chen Mo nodded.

Indeed, in this world, many designers are a bit paranoid about VR games. After all, vr games are said to be high-end, so many designers in this world want to develop large-scale games, and the first reaction is to make vr.

But making vr games is too risky after all. If you want to make a world the same size as PC games, you need at least ten times the investment in funds and resources. If you spend the same money, you can only make a world that is one-tenth the size In the game world, the content has shrunk greatly.

Therefore, for ordinary game developers, it is relatively safe to do the PC side first, and then consider transplanting to the VR platform after success.

Both Chen Mo and Zou Zhuo's operations are very good, and Zou Zhuo has studied this map quite well. After playing for nearly an hour, he finally cleared the level.

Chen Mo said: "You play first, I will check the information on the Internet and think about the new game."

Zou Zhuo regained his energy in an instant: "Ah? New game? Manager, have you figured out what new game you want to make?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it's almost there."
