Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 164 The Acquisition of the Club

Following the man in coir raincoat, Liu Wei came to the top of a mountain.

Looking down from the mountain, the valley is a scene from a moba game.

The difference is that the defensive towers are replaced by arrow towers, the walls are replaced by small mountains, the grass is replaced by dense forests, and the soldiers are replaced by ancient soldiers.

Although "Super God Alliance" is trying its best to cover up, the shadow of "ioi" can still be seen.

But after entering the teaching mode, Liu Wei discovered that "Super God Alliance" had made some changes.

It adds the setting of 'Yima' to the game.

When players are out of combat for three seconds, they can ride the stage horse at the stage horse station.

After riding, the movement speed increases by 100%, increasing the speed of support.

However, during this process, once attacked or actively attacked, it will immediately enter the dismounted state.

The Yima stands near the arrow tower and is a neutral unit that can be occupied by any party.

Liu Wei couldn't help but nod: "It seems that Fujii wants to focus on fast-paced games."

The increase in Yima stations basically means that it is difficult for the disadvantaged side to organize a limited counterattack.

Whether it's support or escape.

"But unfortunately, the VR version of MOBA games has unreasonable settings and it is impossible to become popular."

Liu Wei entered the teaching mode.

I have to say that Fujii is very humane in teaching.

From movement to basic attack to shifting perspective, purchasing equipment... Even a player without any foundation in MOBA games can easily get started.

If it weren’t for the fact that after the teaching level was over, a shining golden Zhao Yun fell from the sky and said to him,

'The first charge of 68 yuan will give you the powerful general Zhao Yun worth [-] yuan' which is even better.

Afterwards, Liu Wei started another round of human-computer games, wanting to experience a wave of happiness in the VR version.

But...Liu Wei just walked out of the barracks and came to the online battle not long ago.

Suddenly, I felt a slight pain like a needle touching my back, and at the same time, the world in front of me began to turn red.

"Fuck, what's going on!"

Liu Wei, who passed the teaching level, naturally knew that he was attacked by an enemy hero.

But the question is, isn't the hero on the opposite side standing in front of him to line up with him?

Moreover, he also used his excellent movement to twist off several skills and replace half of the opponent's health.

Liu Wei turned around and saw the enemy Zhao Yun stabbing him in the back with a spear.

"When did you come!"

Liu Wei was shocked and turned around quickly, trying to walk back to the foot of the tower.

But before he turned around and took two steps, he felt like he couldn't walk, as if he was imprisoned in place.

Afterwards, Liu Wei could only watch helplessly as the enemy Zhao Yun captured his head one by one.

During the resurrection, Liu Weite glanced at the death replay, wanting to see how the human-machine jungler got around behind him.

It turned out to be okay if I didn’t look at it, but Liu Wei was almost mad to death when I looked at it.

The man-machine jungler on the opposite side actually walked upright from the river, unabashedly walked behind him, raised his gun and launched an attack.

"Damn it, what a terrible VR perspective!"

VR games essentially allow players to experience it personally in a virtual environment, so the visual perspective perfectly replicates the real perspective.

This also leads to the fact that in general moba games, players have a God's perspective.

But in "League of Super Gods", players do have a first-person perspective and cannot effectively deal with the enemy jungler's gank!

In the next five minutes, after Liu Wei died twice more, he quit the game angrily.

As soon as he came out, Chen Yaohui, who was sitting slumped aside, stood up in surprise: "Boss, are you so fast?"

Liu Wei rolled his eyes at him, "You are fast, your whole family is fast."

"You go and play."

"it is good!"

Seeing Chen Yaohui running towards the VR cabin, Liu Wei smiled mysteriously and took out his mobile phone to check the official website of "Super God Alliance".

As soon as he logged in, Liu Wei found that the score of this game was as high as 4.2!

You must know that before the closed beta, the game's score was as high as 9.6, and it was wildly praised by countless game media and players.

To be able to lower the rating to this level in just a few hours is unprecedented and unprecedented.

Liu Wei roughly browsed through the comments.

As expected, most of them are dissatisfied with the perspective of this game.

"I was playing Nima. I was caught facing the line, but I just walked over and caught him. If you don't know how to play the game, I suggest you don't do it."

"After playing for three hours, is there anyone who can't even beat a human versus a machine?"

"This perspective is really terrible. I was squatting on someone else but someone else was squatting on me."

"..."

After reading the comments, Liu Wei covered his mouth and snickered.

It's normal to face each other in the lane, only to be caught by the jungle after being surrounded by the jungle.

What's even more outrageous is that he took the initiative to squat on someone, but the other person walked into the grass blankly and killed the squatting person...

Liu Wei turned off the phone with a smile.

Moba games are inherently not suitable for VR games, because one of the necessary conditions for moba games is to have a God's perspective.

That is, the player can see the hero's 360-degree perspective.

Once a VR game is made...

You can only see attacks coming from the front, and attacks from other directions cannot be seen, let alone avoided.

Let's put it this way, it's like you're playing in the smoke bomb of the male gun the whole game.

Can such a moba game be considered a moba game?

joke!

So when Liu Wei knew Fujii's plan, he refused without hesitation.

Because, the moment this idea was proposed, it was impossible to succeed.

……

a month later.

"Our monthly online users have exceeded [-] million!" Ling Jingwen was very excited.

Liu Wei said with a smile: "Not only that, because of the excellent performance of the national server "ioi", Riot headquarters is preparing to copy our version to the World Championship."

"And I plan to start the S competition in October this year."

"Oh, isn't that a collision with "League of Legends"?" Chen Yaohui was surprised when he heard this time.

"Junior, do you want to stagger the time?" Ling Jingwen was very worried.

Everyone also looked at Liu Wei.

Although "League of Legends" has completely gone out of fashion in China, in international servers, "League of Legends" is still the dominant player.

As for "League of Super Gods", apart from being popular for a few days when it first came out, there has been absolutely no news since then, and even the official gave up updating it.

The popularity of "League of Legends" around the world is due to many factors.

For example, the international server of "ioi" has not yet installed the national server version, and it is still the version before it was redone.

The operation of the national server of "League of Legends" is different from the operation of the international server.

Overseas players value more the fun of the game itself, while Chinese people value scoring more.

The routine of speed pushing to clear the jungle is not applicable overseas, etc.

But it is undeniable that League of Legends still has the advantage on a global scale.

This is what everyone is worried about.Although "ioi" has received a good response domestically, who can guarantee that it will be popular around the world?

Just like "data", this game is tepid on a global scale, but its championship bonus is the highest.

Players at home and abroad have different aesthetics, and their views on games are also different.

A crash like this can easily lead to a complete loss of life.

And it’s already mid-March. Is this enough time?

However, Liu Wei smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't think I'm going to fight an uncertain battle, do you?"

Ling Jingwen was very puzzled: "Junior, what do you mean?"

Liu Wei smiled secretly and gave it away: "You will know when the time comes."

Everyone: "..."

What on earth is going on that needs to be hidden so deeply?

……

In the afternoon of that day, the official website of "ioi" released a message:
[The second "ioi" global finals S2 is about to begin, and teams will be gathered from all over the world to compete for the championship...]

In an instant, the entire industry was in a frenzy.

"Fuck, the Global League Finals haven't been held for so many years, and Liu Wei will do it as soon as he comes?"

"Man upstairs, don't brag. The global finals was held once when "ioi" was first launched, but it turned out... it was only held once."

"I asked why this is the second time. It turns out that's the reason."

"Is that considered the global finals? I went to watch it live that day. It was a pure Internet cafe league. The organizer just found an Internet cafe, put up a banner outside, decorated the venue and that was it. Even an overseas team No."

"This... I have found the reason why "ioi" has only held one finals after three years of operation."

"What's the name of that team? It's so old that I've forgotten it."

"IF, I heard that those people are fighting now, but their strength... haha."

"Hey, it seems like we are on a collision course with "League of Legends" at this time. Liu Wei is really brave, how dare he be so tough?"

"If you don't dare, "League of Legends" is already in disgrace."

"A pure frog in the well. He is very popular in the international server, but the national server is not popular. He is another clown who brags about Liu Wei."

"Haha, boss, please explain why a game that is very popular in international servers is not popular when you meet Liu Wei in China. Is it because that game is more clownish..."

Then, the whole building crooked.

From talking about "League of Legends" to whether Liu Wei is worthy of making games.

……

Snapped!
Jiang Jun turned off his phone and looked at the young man in front of him with a complex expression:
"You said you want to acquire our team?"

Liu Wei picked up a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water and confirmed, "That's right."

After hearing Liu Wei's answer, Jiang Jun's expression became even more complicated.

He is the old captain of the IF team, the winner of the first "ioi" s competition, and once the number one domestic top laner.

But with the downturn of the game and changes in versions, IF has long become a small team in name only.

Four former championship teammates left the team one after another to face life.

He was left alone to spend all his wealth, acquire IF, and support the team.

Just when he was about to lose his hold, "ioi" ushered in a tournament reform.

With the promotion and downgrade cancelled, capital can settle in with confidence.

IF, as the ancestral glory, received a franchise fee.

This gives IF a chance to breathe.

But in the Demacia Cup, IF was eliminated in the first round, completely cutting off the opportunity to increase investment in the future.

An 'ancient champion top laner' with only consciousness left and a serious decline in operation

A jungler who mainly played the bottom lane, but was forced to switch to the jungle because he was too reckless.

As for the mid lane... I was once the younger brother of a well-known jungler, which is a 'gift'.

However, the well-known jungler was not satisfied with the results of the IF team and was poached, leaving only an accessory boy who was forced to stay on the team.

And the bottom lane... is Draven from the Chinese server. Although he has strength, his playing style is too reckless and often ruins the advantages of his teammates. It does not meet the needs of other teams for shooters to take over the game in the later stages.

As for the support... not even Jiang Jun knew him. He only knew that he was called over by the bot lane shooter, saying he was a friend he knew in the rankings.

This lineup is of course in the first round of the German Cup.

If this trend continues, IF can only sell team quotas.

At this juncture, the chief designer of "ioi" came to the door, saying that he wanted to buy their team.

Jiang Jun struggled in place for a long time, and finally said cruelly: "As long as you can keep the name IF, I will sell it to you."

Liu Wei nodded: "Okay, but then all five of you will have to leave the team."

Jiang Jun had a depressed look on his face, but the depression was mixed with a trace of relief.

When he was acquired, he expected this scene.

The value of the team name IF is much more expensive than the five of them, especially the capital investment.

The name of the first S-League championship team can earn a lot of money.

Liu Wei, who was sitting opposite, took a sip of Feizhai Happy Water and said:

"After the five of you leave the team, you will re-establish an IF team."

Jiang Jun: "???"

Jiang Jun was a little confused.

What is this? After the five of us left the team, we re-established an IF team. Then why did we leave the team?

Liu Wei immediately explained thoughtfully:
"Although it is an IF team, it is not in the field of "ioi", but in the field of "League of Legends"."

Jiang Jun: "???!!!"

Jiang Jun was completely stupid this time.

"Liu, Mr. Liu, did I hear you correctly? Let's go to "League of Legends"?"

Liu Wei nodded: "Yes, it's you five."

"Isn't the "League of Legends" also holding the World Championship recently? You will represent the CPL division in the competition."

(cpl, "League of Legends" domestic division)
Jiang Jun coughed twice, and wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist on his face: "Mr. Liu, we haven't even played an official CPL match, so why are we talking about the World Championship?"

"And I don't plan to play in CPL. I plan to be a coach or a data analyst after retirement and continue to shine."

Liu Wei interrupted directly:
"No, think about it, not many people will remember you if you retire."

Jiang Jun held his head high and said: "I love this game!"

"If you win the championship on behalf of cpl, doesn't it mean that "ioi" is stronger than "League of Legends"?"

Jiang Jun hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly:

""ioi" is my youth and my belief."

Liu Wei held his head, sighed and prepared to leave: "Okay, originally I wanted to give you an annual salary of one million..."

"and many more!"

Jiang Jun suddenly stopped Liu Wei, his tall and thin body blocking him in front of him.

Jiang Jun's eyes seemed to be shining with light as he looked directly at Liu Wei:
"Mr. Liu, I think I can do it."

"In order to prove that "ioi" is stronger than "League of Legends", and to commemorate my lost youth, I decided to agree to your request."

Liu Wei's smile was equally bright and he high-fived Jiang Jun.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"
