Genius One Second Remembers "→Net.", providing you with wonderful novels to read.

On Weibo, there are also a lot of people @陈赫.

"I found a good map "Sacred Realm", please give me an official recommendation, this map is really fun."

"Same as the recommended map "Sacred Realm"."

"@陈露, it's Chinese New Year, it's time to develop a new game! Don't be lazy, my wallet is already hungry!"

"@陈露, please find a conscience work similar to "Warcraft", please stop bullying my wallet with krypton gold games!"

Chen Mo flipped through these @ His comments, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he has quite a lot of diehard fans now.

And there are still many people here who are looking forward to the emergence of new boutique games.

Chen Mo thought for a while and decided to share some information with everyone.

He sent a Weibo, the content is very simple.

"The new game is rpg, stand-alone game, western fantasy."

Then a concept map was added: under the dark and gloomy sky, the dim candlelight in Tristram Cathedral appeared very strange. A traveler looked up to the sky, where a meteor pierced the sky and was falling in the direction of the cathedral.

Not long after this Weibo was posted, the comments below instantly exploded!

"Damn it! Look what I posted, Chen Mo's new Weibo!"

"Come on, come on, Chen Mo is going to make a PC game again, hurry up, buy it and leave, everyone guess what game it is this time?"

"Are you stupid upstairs? Didn't Chen Mo already tell you that there is no way to go into more detail about a stand-alone rpg with a Western fantasy theme?"

"From this picture, isn't the atmosphere too eerie? It feels very eerie. This church feels like a cemetery..."

"Yeah, if you look carefully at the side of the church, you can still see the tombstone. In the church window, there seems to be a shadow of a skeleton."

"Is it related to the undead in "Warcraft"?"

"It's not like that. From the perspective of art style, it seems to be much darker than "Warcraft", more like that kind of particularly dark medieval style."

"Looking forward, Chen Mo is finally going to make an rpg game!"

"It's a pity that it's not an online game, it's a stand-alone game, so it should be boring to play."

"Not necessarily. If you want to see a good plot, you still have to play stand-alone games. Besides, it is safer for general designers to do stand-alone rpgs first to accumulate experience and popularity, and then make online rpgs."

"That's right, anyway, Chen Mo's product must be a high-quality product, just wait and see!"

"Hey, I thought he was going to make an rpg version of "Warcraft", but it turned out not to be. What a pity."

"Who knows, maybe he has his own ideas, I also want to play the RPG of "Warcraft"!"

Soon, the news also spread in the industry.

"Have you heard that Chen Mo's new game is PC-side, stand-alone rpg, western fantasy theme."

"I heard that, take a deep breath."

"how?"

"Fortunately, he doesn't play mobile games anymore, give us a way to survive!"

"But I am developing PC games, who will give me a way out?"

"Okay, you can see clearly, this time Chen Mo is developing a stand-alone game, focus on it, is the stand-alone game ok?"

"Oh, stand-alone game, then I feel a little relieved."

"Single-player games are fine, but the ability to absorb money is limited. It seems that Chen Mo's plan this time is the same as "Warcraft". He wants to pave the way and get word of mouth, not to make money."

"Then you have to be careful, if you crash with his game, it will definitely have an impact. Take a look and study."

"Another picture has been released on Weibo! The name of the game is "Diablo". This perspective doesn't seem to be the first-person perspective."

Many designers are paying attention to Chen Mo's Weibo, and as soon as the new Weibo is posted, they study it one after another.

The new Weibo is also very simple, that is, the name of the game "Diablo" is marked, and a picture is attached below, which is a 45-degree perspective of God. A barbarian holding a double ax is fighting countless skeletons and demons.

"It seems that it's really not a first-person perspective, is he going to be a third-person perspective?"

"There is a possibility that the third person is easier to control than the first person. This is the first time he has done an rpg theme, and it is normal to seek stability."

"That's actually okay. There are fewer and fewer third-person games now, and they are no longer mainstream. His game should not lose money, but it certainly won't be a hit."

"Yes, I roughly guessed Chen Mo's plan. It's too risky to make a first-person online game directly, so I will make a third-person stand-alone rpg first to make the transition. As for the selling point, it is mainly about the plot and theme."

"I think so too. He is making a game specifically for those players who love to play Western fantasy themes. It just so happens that these players are highly overlapped with the player group of "Warcraft", and sales are guaranteed."

"It was a false alarm. But I think it's a pity. Doesn't this mean that Chen Mo has given up? Think about how domineering he was when he made "Warcraft" and "Legion Conquer", and now he is probably worried about his lack of ability. Compromised."

"Let me make one point, I don't know if you have noticed, the color matching of his two original paintings."

"Color matching?"

"Well, the color schemes are all on the dark side, and very dark."

"Oh, maybe he wants to create this kind of scary and weird atmosphere."

"That's not what I said. It's okay to create an atmosphere, but with such a dark color scheme, coupled with horror scenes and music, the sense of immersion is strong, but how tiring is it to play? Look at the current mainstream online games, I dare not make such a dark scene at all, because I am afraid that players will feel depressed after playing for a long time."

"It turns out that's the case, I've been taught!"

"So, Chen Mo obviously made a mistake of taking it for granted. He wanted to take the lead and make such a unique Western fantasy game, but he didn't even think about whether players would accept it, especially the art style. Flawed! Take a look at Emperor Huyu and Zen Huyu, which big company dares to do this?"

"It's amazing, boss, I have benefited a lot from your analysis!"

"I think Chen Mo's game can definitely make money, but it doesn't make much money, and the cost has just been recovered. It is incomparable with those hits made before. Maybe it is very popular in a small circle, but it is definitely not popular. stand up."

"That's good, then I can rest assured!"

Regarding Chen Mo's new game, the industry and the player community are discussing it, but most people still think it is not optimistic.

This is also very simple, because the stand-alone rpg from the third-person perspective is basically one of the oldest game types. This thing is about to become the tears of the times, and it will be eliminated sooner or later.

Moreover, the potential of this type of game has almost been tapped, and now it is the world of first-person perspective online games. It is a question of how many players this kind of antique stand-alone rpg game still has. For mobile phone users, please visit m.reading for a better reading experience.
