Almighty Game Designer

Soon, three people read the concept draft written by Chen Mo.

The concept draft depicts the prototype of the game, including core fun, infrastructure, and more. Basically after reading the concept draft, these three people have a certain understanding of the final form of the game Warcraft.

However, what surprised Chen Mo was that the three people actually spit out the name of the game.

"Warcraft? This is a very strange name. Why not call Azeroth a hegemony?" Zheng Hongyi scratched his head.

"The word "hegemony" is quite good, more in line with the characteristics of real-time strategy games. But, will this name be a bit like "Term Conquest"?" Qian said.

"But what is World of Warcraft? Azeroth has orcs, there are undead, but there is no World of Warcraft..." Zheng Hongyi is still entangled in this problem.

Su Yuyu is worried about the prospects of this game: "That, the manager, I have researched and found that the field of RTS is basically a monopoly of "Term Conquest". There are also several manufacturers in China who want to try RTS. But it is not very successful. Can we achieve the degree of "Term Conquest"?"

Chen Mo is speechless, how is the focus so strange?

But then again, the English of Warcraft is "WARCRAFT", which does not have much to do with "Warcraft". But this translation is a good example of the type of game, but also domineering, so it became a classic translation, and "Warcraft" has become a proper term.

"Do not worry, you do not have to doubt my ability to name, do not have to doubt my prediction of the development of the game." Chen Mo said.

Su Yuyu said: "Wow, the store manager is mighty, the store manager is at the atmosphere, the store manager, when do we start doing it?"

Chen Mo said: "Don't worry, divide the work first."

"The first is Hong Sheng, you come to do the plot setting related content. I will give you a storyline. The general story is mainly about the two people of Illidan and Alsace. You should always keep this in mind. ”

“Task descriptions, story dialogues, arms and architectural descriptions, etc., you know very well, no need to emphasize me.”

"The result is the racial architecture and arms set in the game. We are currently in four races, human, orc, elves, and undead. The four races are completely different in architecture and must be considered when packaging. Considering the fit with the plot, you have to talk to Qian Qian."

"This time, the degree of "Lifeline" is not enough, you have to be mentally prepared. This story is to become a classic."

Zheng Hongjun wiped the sweat on his forehead: "I try to."

Chen Mo continued: "Qian Wei, you are mainly responsible for the level and the value of the level. The balance of the various branches, the level from easy to difficult, the growth of heroic attributes, etc., you and Hong Hao more discussion."

"The first is to make the numerical model, you should understand this. This is a long-term job, no need to be in one step."

Chen Moyu has not finished, Su Yuyu added: "Yes, anyway, the store manager will tell you: very good, but to rewrite."

Zheng Hongyu said: "Well, yes."

Chen Mo: "..."

Qian Wei: "..."

Chen Mo continued: "Others, goldfish, you help me to do some role, the original draft of the scene. There are rules related things, you know more."

Su Shiyu nodded: "Understand."

Chen Mo said: "There is time to turn over the Azeroth universe. There are many things that can be used directly. In addition, some of the contents of the Western Worldview can also be used as inspiration, such as "Supreme God Ring". Kind."

The task was arranged for everyone, and everyone began to get busy.

Of course, it is impossible to expect Zheng Hongjun and Qian Wei to perfectly reproduce the story and setting of Warcraft. Chen Mo has to give them a big framework guide.

Back in the studio, Chen Mo used the memory to play back the potion and began to recall the memories that had been forgotten.

Time seems to have returned to many years ago, playing a game in the Internet cafe is a day in the afternoon.

The first is the arms.

The arms in Warcraft are not too many, there are four races, and each race has about 12 arms.

Chen Mo began to chart, plan the attributes of each unit, including price (gold / wood / population), attack speed, attack distance, movement speed, attack type, armor type, health, mana, attack and defense (primary, intermediate, Advanced), special abilities, etc.

After that, Chen Mo filled in the various branches in turn, starting with the night elves: elf, archer, female hunter, bladed car, horned beast...

For each unit, plan their attributes according to the contents of the list.

In fact, for Chen Mo, with his current numerical ability, even if he does not use the memory to play the potion, it is enough to complete the whole set of numerical architecture independently.

However, in order to exercise Qian Qian, Chen Mo decided to give a big frame first, let Qian Qian think about it.

Then there is the building.

The building system of Warcraft is still quite complicated. The building here is not like "Red Alert". In "Red Alert", the building exists only as a functional module, and it is as crisp as paper.

More than a dozen mobilized soldiers casually blasted the barracks and took the machine guns. This is not scientific.

The buildings in "Warcraft" are basically city defenses. Only certain specific units will be disassembled faster. Like the primary arms, the city armor is similar to tickling, and the farmers will be full.

In addition, players can also make their base more secure through the architecture card.

After incorporating the architectural attributes into the entire numerical balance system, it became rare for the Red Alert to be inexplicably stolen.

In addition, building upgrades, production of soldiers, etc., "Warcraft" is also very good. The base camp can be upgraded from the first level to the third level. Or directly create a junior sprint or TR? Technology-related settings have greatly increased the player's optional strategy.

In addition, different buildings produce different soldiers, what kind of arms technology, and how the positioning of each building... These are all factors to consider.

In addition to producing the primary combat units such as archers and female hunters, the ancient trees of the night elves can have 1000 hit points and good attack power, and even restore the health by eating trees.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that many professional players will choose to use the ancient trees of war to help brush the wilderness and improve the efficiency of brushing the wild, which has become a kind of conventional tactics of the night elves.

The establishment of arms and architecture is the essence of Warcraft. It is worthy of Chen Mo to take a lot of time to plan well.
