Almighty Game Designer

After explaining the new version of Diablo and the design ideas of "Famine", everyone began to work hard.

Chen Mo’s main energy is still concentrated in Diablo here. The new scenes, new careers, and new plots of the expansion are all checked, so they are still busy.

The specific work of the expansion film is handled by Zheng Hongyi and Qian Wei, and Su Yuyu is carrying a small group of people to develop the game of "Famine".

In the past life, the response of "Diablo 3" was not good when it was just released. In a short time, there was a large number of players losing. Especially, "Diablo 2" Zhuyu was in front, and many old players did not recognize "Diablo 3". It is the orthodox sequel to "Diablo 2", which evaluates the blood collapse.

This situation did not improve until the release of "The Soul of the Soul".

Before the release of this expansion pack, the Diacritic player rating of Diablo III was only 41% non-negative, and after the expansion of the expansion, the number rose to 72%.

After the release of "The Soul of the Soul", the reputation of "Diablo 3" has greatly increased. It can be said that "Diablo 3" before and after the release of the information piece is completely different games.

The way to save is based on the points analyzed by Chen Mo.

Increase ladder list, remove peak level cap, close auction house, change new scene color, keep adding new gameplay, redefine difficulty division, add new season mode...

These moves allowed players to regain their fun in Diablo III and pulled Diablo 3 back from the edge of death.

In the parallel world, although Chen Mo made a lot of changes to "Diablo 3", so that it is close to the level of "Diablo 2" in the artistic level, but this game still has the risk of subsequent weakness.

In fact, the most important reason is that the taste of the player has changed. The design of "Diablo 2" is very classic, and it has created countless precedences. This is true, but we must also consider that there is no strong competing product at that time, and the old players have nostalgia for it. .

If you really want to do a high-definition version of "Diablo 2" locally, it really is not necessarily successful. After all, the entire market environment is completely different.

In the past life of Chen Mo, the original version of "Diablo 2" also made "Light of the Torch" after leaving the northern Blizzard, and on STEAM, there are games like "Dawn of Terror".

However, whether it is the "Light of the Torch" made by the original classmates, or the "Dream of Dawn" with a very "dark wind" style, it is far less successful than "Diablo 3". It can be said that it is very far away.

The reasons for this are more complicated, but "time change" is obviously a very important one. Time shifts are easy, and it is obviously impossible to look at the problem in a way that seeks a sword.

The version of "The Diablo 3" is the most successful third-person perspective RPG that Blizzard launched after learning the lesson. Therefore, Chen Mo also wants to absorb some of the essence of the version of "The Soul of the Soul", thus continuing " The life of Diablo.

As for the game "Famine".

Just like making "Lifeline" at the time, Chen Mo hopes that Su Yuyu and others can have some fun and get some inspiration in the process of making "Famine".

Therefore, Chen Mo did not give too many specific settings, but let them consider the various settings in the game and make full use of their imagination.

In the past life of Chen Mo, "Famine" is an independent game, but it is definitely not a niche.

The online version of "Famine" has sold 5 million in the country on Steam, and after logging in to the TGP platform, sales in two weeks exceeded the million mark, and sales in the first month exceeded 5 million.

As a boutique stand-alone game, the charm of "Famine" does not need to be questioned. Chen Mo made this game, but also wants to test the acceptance of the world's players in the open world and sandbox games, and find something for their employees. Do, let them not idle.

......

While developing the new version of Diablo and Famine, Chen Mo is also busy with the overseas version of Diablo.

With the cooperation of "Warcraft", the head of Iridium Technology did not try to bargain with Chen Mo this time. The two sides quickly finalized the development of Diablo's overseas version.

Mainly there is a successful precedent for "Warcraft", "Diablo" is very eye-catching in the country, so there is nothing to worry about.

The promotion strategy is still the same as before, and the world is on sale simultaneously.

There was a previous "Warcraft" paving the way, all the work was carried out very smoothly, Chen Mo is also more assured, but occasionally asked the translation of the problem here, try to ensure that the English version can better reproduce "Diablo" The spirit of this game.

Chen Mo will not pay too much attention to the performance of "Diablo" overseas. Anyway, even if it can't be a big fire, it will certainly not be bad. The urgent task at the moment is to do a good job of the new version of "The Soul of the Soul".

......

On this day, Chen Mo is busy and receives a call.

Xu Xiaojun, the person in charge of the game promotion channel of the emperor's mutual entertainment, was called.

Chen Moyi, what did he call?

The previous two people had contact, that is, in the "My name is MT" gamble, Lin Zhaoxu let Xu Xiaojun come to talk with Chen Mo about the recommended position.

But after that, the two people have not contacted each other. After all, everyone is very clear that Chen Mo’s ambition is not small. He and the emperor’s mutual entertainment are natural enemies.

Chen Mo picked up the phone: "Hey?"

Xu Xiaojun said: "Hello, Mr. Chen Mo. This is the case. I called this time and wanted to talk to you about cooperation."

Chen Mo: "Cooperation?"

Xu Xiaojun said: "Yes. It is like this. The Diablo you developed is very good. I don't know if you have any idea to change it into a VR game?"

Chen Mo said: "There is no such plan for the time being, if there is nothing else..."

Xu Xiaojun hurriedly said: "Wait a moment, listen to our thoughts here. In fact, the world view of Diablo is a relatively dark, desperate worldview, and the atmosphere of the whole game is very immersive. Consider the player again. In this game, it is a hero who saves the world. The cool feeling of brushing is very strong, so this game is more suitable for making VR games."

"The emperor and the mutual entertainment side hope to cooperate with you to create the VR version of "Diablo". Of course, considering that you are the main creative of this game, we will fully respect your creative opinions."

"You should not have the ability to develop VR games independently, and the funds are relatively scarce, so we hope that we can arrange S-level designers to work with you to create the VR version of Diablo. What do you think?"

Chen Mo silent for a moment and said: "I don't think so. I will develop the VR version of Diablo myself. This will not bother me."

"Don't you rush to refuse, feed?"

Xu Xiaojun has not finished talking, Chen Mo has hung up the phone.
