Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 98: PC gaming research

Views:

Chen Mo stretched and went downstairs.

The number of customers in the experience store has increased in the past few days, and many players from the imperial capital have come here just because of the reputation. They want to "greet" Chen Mo kindly, and take a photo in the experience store by the way, pretending to be cool.

After all, Chen Mo is now considered a "famous designer".

These players who clamored to send blades on the Internet are really kind in reality. Chen Mo just agreed to give them the qualification for the internal test of the next game in advance, which made them very happy

Regarding these people, Su Jinyu shook her head helplessly: "Is this what the history textbook said, 'the weakness and compromise of the petty bourgeoisie'..."

After greeting a few new guests, Chen Mo put on his coat and prepared to go out.

"Huh? Manager, are you going out?" Su Jinyu asked.

It is true that Chen Mo is too housebound. He usually spends most of his time in the experience store, either developing new games or thinking about what new game to develop next. He rarely goes out.

Chen Mo likes to do things that can be done online, including shopping, ordering takeout, and so on.

Su Jinyu was also a little surprised that he had to go out today for the first time.

Chen Mo said: "Well, go out for a walk, and definitely come back before get off work at night."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he left the experience store and walked towards the "Zhiyuan Internet Cafe" diagonally opposite.

Chen Mo has already experienced the vr game, and he has some ideas in his mind. The next step is to check the situation of the PC game.

Chen Mo has been working on mobile game platforms since he entered the industry, and basically doesn't have a deep understanding of PC and VR.

But Chen Mo is definitely not satisfied with just being known by players as a mobile game designer, and it is time to try to expand the field of PC end games.

Of course, if you want to enter the field of PC end games, you still have to do research first, and the best way to do so is naturally to go to an Internet cafe.

Whether a PC game is popular or not, how hot it is can be seen very clearly from the number of people in the Internet cafe, and this data is relatively real, unlike the major lists on the Internet, which have broken through the sky, there is no doubt about it. Reliability.

At the front desk, Zhuo Yao was eating melon seeds and watching dramas.

As soon as Chen Mo came in, Zhuo Yao noticed it. She threw the melon seeds in her hand into the trash can and said, "Oh, rare visitor, please come in."

Chen Mo laughed: "Aren't you the owner of this Internet cafe? Why do you still work as a cashier part-time?"

Zhuo Yao said: "Hey, isn't this saving costs? I have a cashier now, but she can't keep an eye on it all day and night. I thought it would be expensive to hire another cashier, so I did it myself. It's okay anyway."

Chen Mo smiled: "You are quite good at living. Do you have any spare machines? Open one for me."

Zhuo Yao said: "Yes, you can just swipe your ID card here. My place is not so popular, except for holiday nights, there are basically vacancies."

Chen Mo said, "Alright, then I'll find a place to sit by myself."

Zhuo Yao said: "Okay, if you have something to do, you can call the network administrator. Here, it's that kid."

Zhuo Yao said, pointing to a boy wearing glasses over there.

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, thank you."

Zhuo Yao waved her hand: "Hey, thank you, I'm waiting for you to develop a PC game that can play vr games for me."

Chen Mo smiled: "It's easy to talk about. Then I'll play first."

Chen Mo finished swiping his ID card, scanned the code and paid 20 yuan, and then found a relatively quiet place.

The imperial capital is now completely non-smoking, and smoking is not allowed in public places, so the Internet cafes are quite clean and there is no smell of smoke.

Along the way, Chen Mo also took a rough look at the game everyone was playing.

There are all types of games, the two types of large-scale role-playing (mmorpg) and real-time strategy (rts) are basically evenly divided in the world, and there are other game types such as strategy, simulation management, action-adventure, etc., but the people who play a bit less.

After all, the latter types are either niche or squeezed by VR games, so there are no good games.

There are quite a lot of large-scale role-playing games. Chen Mo has seen at least three popular ones along the way.

"Legend of Yujian", "The Oracle of the Moon God" and "Three Kingdoms".

"Legend of Yujian" is a fairy tale theme, developed by Zen Interactive Entertainment. The vr version of "Legend of Yujian" is known as one of the best VR games in China, and it is also the core product of Zen Interactive Entertainment.

Games like this kind of data exchange between the vr end and the pc end are very common in this world. Because the development cost of vr games is too high, once it fails, even a big company like Zen Interactive Entertainment will not be able to withstand such a blow, so it is necessary to develop the PC side first to test the waters.

It is precisely because of the great success of "Legend of Yujian" on the PC side that Zen Interactive Entertainment decided to develop "Legend of Yujian" on the VR side, and made this fairy-tale game its own golden signboard.

"The Oracle of the Moon God" is an oriental fantasy theme, adapted from the novel of the same name by a great god-level internet writer, created by Qiu Jiang, an S-level designer of Dichao Huyu, and the vr game is also under development and may be launched within this year.

"The Oracle of the Moon God" has more users and better income, but in terms of word-of-mouth, it is worse than "Legend of the Sword".

"Three Kingdoms" is different from the above two. It is an mmorpg game that focuses on national warfare. It has few users but high income, and the player stickiness is the strongest. However, the company that developed this game is relatively short of funds and does not have the ability to make it into a VR game for the time being.

In foreign countries, there are some western fantasy-themed rpg games, such as "Supreme God Ring". But what is more evil is that foreign Western fantasy games will be unacceptable when they come to China, and even works with big ip like "Supreme God Ring" are thoroughly attacked.

It may be due to the player's habits, or it may be due to cultural differences. In short, this is cheaper for several major domestic game giants.

In addition to mmorpg, there is also a foreign real-time strategy game that is very popular in China, called "Legion Conquest".

"Real-time strategy games are so popular? Can they be compared with these mmorpgs? It's incredible."

Chen Mo found the game "Legion Conquer" on the computer of the Internet cafe, and clicked to enter.

In the previous life, after the emergence of moba games, real-time strategy and role-playing games inevitably went downhill.

Role-playing is because the time cost is too high, while real-time strategy is because the operation is too difficult. These two games are difficult to adapt to the fast-paced and easy-to-use requirements of players, so they gradually decline.

Chen Mo was a little curious, why are real-time strategy games so popular in this era? Can you even wrestle with the dual-ended "Legend of the Sword" on VR and PC
