After the Spring Festival holiday, daily work will return to normal.
Many young people who returned to the imperial capital from their hometowns brought back the matrix glasses that arrived during the Spring Festival, not only at parties, but some even brought them to their companies.
During the Spring Festival, only relatives and friends in the same hometown can share matrix glasses, but now, this scope is extended to colleagues and friends at work.
The popularity of matrix glasses is still unabated, and more and more people are unable to resist the temptation under the repeated Amway of relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates, etc., and want to buy it for themselves.
This brand-new smart device is changing people's life step by step and subtly, expanding at an extremely fast speed.
…
Chen Mo has also prepared a new year's research and development plan. The first game is an exclusive mr game for matrix glasses.
This is a mr game based on the classic game of Chen Mo's previous life, and added a lot of magic modification content: "Elf World", the English name is "pokemonworld".
As for why you choose this game
Because the essence of both ar and mr games is: go out, which is the "go" emphasized in "pokemongo".
Different from vr, mr games pay more attention to the "combination of reality and reality", connecting an entire region through the game, so that players can also interact in reality.
Although Chen Mo launched games such as "Three Kingdoms Killing" and "Jumping Jump" for the matrix glasses, their main purpose is to show players the characteristics of the combination of virtual reality and mr, and it is more of a show off.
For example, "Three Kingdoms", the mr version of "Three Kingdoms", compared to card and PC games, has a cool picture that is its biggest highlight. But what about when compared to vr games
Assuming that a vr version of "Three Kingdoms" is released now, it can be ten times cooler than the mr version of "Three Kingdoms", after all, the performance of the game cabin is there.
The mr version of "Three Kingdoms Killing" focuses on "face-to-face killing". If it is "net killing", then there is really no advantage in being an mr.
Therefore, Chen Mo chose to do "Three Kingdoms Killing" because he hoped that players would go face-to-face and not match people on the Internet. "Three Kingdoms" supports free combination of 2 to 8 players, and the rules are relatively simple and easy to use, which can be said to be very suitable for mr games.
But like chess, Go and other chess and card types, although mr games can also be played, the effect will not be as good as "Three Kingdoms".
Because most of this kind of chess is a one-on-one battle, and the competition and professionalism are much stronger than "Three Kingdoms". If four or five friends play together, there is no way to enter the same game, and they can only split the game in twos. If the total number is odd, the extra classmate will be very embarrassing; If the level gap is too large, it may also make the game lose fun.
At this time, on the contrary, the online version can match opponents based on points, which can better guarantee the game experience of players.
Therefore, although similar chess and card games are also good, it is difficult to achieve "combination of virtual and real", at most it uses a table in reality. Most of the one-on-one chess and card games are difficult to quickly achieve the effect of viral spread.
That's why Chen Mo finally finalized "Elf World".
In terms of subject matter, "Elf World" will not fully copy "Pokemongo", but will add more types of elves/pets.
In Chen Mo's previous life, the success of "Pokemongo" was due to the accumulation of IP over the years. From anime to generation after generation of console games, this series has accumulated a large number of players. So when "Pokemongo" was launched, many sentimental fans were moved to tears.
But in the parallel world, players don't have this kind of feeling. They won't understand how precious this thing is when they see a Pikachu or Mewtwo.
It's not impossible to do animation to stir up IP, but the problem is that the time is too long, and Chen Mo can't wait. The competition among smart glasses is so fierce, can a set of cartoons become popular all over the world immediately? Not particularly realistic.
What's more, Chen Mo now has a lot of IPs in his hands, so there is no need to be obsessed with the content in "Pokemongo".
At least now there are several popular or once popular IPs that can be used in "Elf World":
Zombies, Onmyoji, Diablo, League of Legends, Overwatch, Super Mario, Dark Souls, all of these games have tons of "Elf" materials, such as baby pea shooter, baby pineapple, baby Teemo, mini fortress, baby Bowser, baby sewer salary king, etc.
What's more, Chen Mo still has the entire world of Azeroth. You must know that "World of Warcraft" also has a pet battle game, and all the weird things can be moved here.
Even games such as "flappybird", "Minecraft", and "PUBG Mobile" can have linked sprites, such as pixel birds, cube baby Steve, pan babies, and the like.
"The Last of Us" Comes a Baby Follower? The beauty of the painting does not look.
Of course, if all these contents are added up, the number of the entire sprite library is estimated to explode, but still, there are materials...
Except for the sprites in "Pokemongo" that need to be completely redone, all other materials are ready-made and can be used after modification. Moreover, there is no need for the first version to expand the inventory of the entire "Elf World" to a large extent, and new elves will be released batch after batch.
If the ip is not enough, then use more ip to make up, and then link up with all the games on the Thunder game platform, so you don't have to worry about lack of popularity.
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, gym competition, etc.
This is also the core competitiveness of "Elf World" as a super-explosive mr game: a large number of top-level ip piles, full interaction with the real world, and maximum coverage of all people who use smart glasses.
It is even difficult for other game companies to copy "Elf World", because there are not so many IPs. Moreover, in the absence of major innovations in gameplay, it is impossible for later games to surpass the first-mover advantage of "Elf World".
…
After the idea is roughly finalized, it is some specific details.
The design concept draft 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 good job of the numerical balance between such a large number of elves, and the entire combat system.
