After all, Hao Yun still underestimated the dangers of the human heart.
From the first day "Counter-Terrorism: Siege" was released, Dami Entertainment and its ALX studio responsible for development began a crazy scapegoat, trying to transfer the players' anger to the players whose names are also on the producer list. Yunmeng Game comes up.
The first person to start this public opinion war was the game area marketing account on Station B.
Led by a game review account with millions of fans, several videos with millions or even tens of millions of views pointed out that the designer of "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" is Yunmeng Games, hinting at it openly or covertly. Therefore, the unsatisfactory results of this game were all because Yunmeng Games did not listen to the advice of the production team and insisted on going its own way, which led to such results.
Then, someone broke the news on the scarf.
In fact, the original plan for "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" was not what it is now. Those props and special skills that require payment in the mall are actually used as development elements of the game together with the axed character system, and need to be unlocked by upgrading agents.
Of course, the veteran players of anti-terrorism operations are not happy now.
If this character system is really made, it will be much more fun than the half-finished product that is rushed out now, okay
Although the whistleblower did not say clearly who caused the plan to abort, it was hinted that it was Yunmeng Games that caused all this. After all, logically speaking, Yunmeng Games does have the motive to do this.
Firstly, DaMi Entertainment is a competitor, and secondly, anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" is aiming for the e-sports cake. As a vested interest, Yunmeng Games certainly has reasons to prevent others from taking this piece of cake from its own hands.
In this way, fueled by conspiracy theories, Yunmeng Games quickly became the party taking the blame, receiving verbal and written criticism from veteran players of "Operation Counter Terrorism".
As for the ALX producers, they are packaged as victims of capital games. And the success of "Counter-Terrorism: Siege" is not due to the developer's ability, the blame is entirely placed on the designer.
If it's just a matter of passing the buck, that's it.
Everyone has selfish motives, not to mention those developers who are just working part-time and must be worthy of their jobs. Yunmeng Games, which was dumped, will not be affected in any way. After all, the game itself is not published by itself. At most, it will be criticized by the players of this popular game.
However, what Hao Yun couldn't bear was that this guy's way of blaming the blame was so shameless!
It was obvious that the previous plan was provided by him, but in the end they completely ignored his opinions and turned the game into a piece of shit. Now they are biting back and trying to throw the blame on his head.
Even if Zhang Ding could bear it, Hao Yun couldn't bear it anymore!
…
When he came to the company the next day, Hao Yun directly called Du Ziteng, the head of Yunmeng Game Operations Department, to his office and asked for his opinion on the matter.
After listening to Hao Yun's words, Du Ziteng also had an expression of indignation on his face and said angrily.
"These guys are really bullying! We kindly provided them with ideas and helped them develop the e-sports market, and this is how they repaid us! Mr. Hao, leave this matter to me. I promise you, not only will I help If our company restores its reputation, we will make them eat their own shit!"
Hao Yun nodded and said.
"Well, I'll leave this to you."
He is still very confident about Du Ziteng's business ability. The only thing that worries him is that this time he is facing off against his old club, Rice Entertainment, and he doesn't know whether he will be willing to do this emotionally.
However, this idea only appeared in Hao Yun's mind for a second before he took the initiative to dismiss it.
He remembered this guy's resume. When he worked at DaMi Entertainment, he did not reach the management level and was just doing odd jobs at the grassroots level. According to the current corporate culture of Rice Entertainment, employees' status and qualifications are closely linked. It is almost impossible for grassroots employees like Du Ziteng to have a sense of belonging to the company.
The public backlash is just the beginning.
In addition to public opinion, Hao Yun also thought of the e-sports project under development that Zhang Ding mentioned on the phone before - Chenghai League.
If the news is accurate, DaMi Entertainment should have seen the commercialization potential from the RPG map Chenghai 3C, and plans to learn from the gameplay of Chenghai 3C to create an independent 3C game focusing on multi-hero competition.
I have to say that this idea is very correct. In another parallel world, MOBA games, which evolved from 3C games, have almost replaced MMORPG gameplay and accounted for half of the domestic end games.
No matter how DaMi Entertainment plans to deal with copyright issues, Hao Yun does not intend to let other companies take the lead in this field.
Although it is much ahead of schedule, there is no time to hesitate now.
He wants to get ahead of Da Mi Entertainment and occupy the MOBA game market!
“… It’s time to take out DOTA.”
Although compared to DOTA, which has a higher entry threshold, there is another faster-paced game in Hao Yun's vague memory of his past life that is more suitable as a striker, but it is obviously a little bit to bet this race against time on the next lottery. It's so unreliable.
As one of the maps on the popular list of Warcraft in the previous life, this map, like many RPG maps such as Chenghai 3C, had drawn memory fragments about Warcraft from the system at that time, and it followed the development of Azeroth. Everything came flooding into his mind.
Even with his eyes closed, he can play this game.
This time, he did not plan to entrust the game to his own Crouching Dragon and Phoenix. Hao Yun decided to take action himself after a long absence and lead the team to develop this map in his memory into an independent game.
The game rules of DOTA are not complicated to explain. The units that players need to operate are basically their own heroes and the couriers who are responsible for helping purchase equipment. On the map, both sides have a base camp, and there are three must-pass roads between the base camps; in the middle of the mini-map, there is a river from the upper left to the lower right, which is used to distinguish the guards from the natural disasters.
In addition to the base camp, both camps also have barracks, turrets and other buildings on the map, and the goal of victory is to blast the opponent's base camp following the army line.
The military lines and buildings cannot be controlled by the player, but destroying the opponent's barracks will strengthen one's own military line, destroying the opponent's slaughterhouse or hunter's hall will double the number of one's siege weapons, and destroying the opponent's burial ground or wind The opponent's spring water recovery effect will be reduced behind the ancient tree.
Coupled with some rules for equipment synthesis, the basic gameplay is these.
The 5V5 team competition will also make the game more competitive. The fewer units that need to be operated will also make the threshold for players to participate in competition lower than the original official map of Warcraft.
"As development tools, you can basically choose the tools used to develop Warcraft. Many already designed frameworks can be directly applied. What needs to be solved now is the models of characters, equipment, and maps."
After all, it’s an independent game, so it’s impossible to use the Warcraft model, right
Even if they are all from your own company, it is still better to differentiate them a little bit.
After finishing writing the game development outline, Hao Yun looked at the assistant sitting at the desk next door.
"Zhou Ruining."
The assistant raised his head and looked towards him.
"Boss, do you have any orders?"
Hao Yun nodded.
"Well, let me give you something. I have a setting draft here. You can take it to the art department and give it to the head of the art department, Jiang Lexeng."
"I will use the model in this design draft soon. You ask her to find a way to make it as soon as possible. Whether you do it yourself or outsource it to a reliable studio, try to get it done within half a month."
“Under the premise of ensuring quality, the sooner the better!”
