Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

As the popularity of RPG maps in Warcraft slowly rises.

The popularity of "Warcraft" has also slowly risen, including a slight increase in sales.

At the same time, according to a data in the background, there are also a large number of players who have carried out a reflow.

These players may not be able to get started with RTS modes, or they may not be interested.

But RPG maps don't need these things.

In addition, there are already some players who have tried to make RPG maps.

But so far, they are all relatively ordinary, for example, except for the 5 RPG maps launched by Chen Xu.

One of the most popular RPG maps released by players is a magic version of the map.

In the map, the population setting was removed, and all classes were thrown into the same building.

The speed of generating troops in the game has been greatly increased, and the speed of resource gathering has also been greatly increased.

Allows players to build a large number of troops and then duke it out.

In terms of balance, it is naturally very poor, but in terms of entertainment, it allows players to have a certain amount of momentum.

And that's a good omen.

Because some players have already started to delve into the map editor of Warcraft.

In addition, Chen Xu also asked Qin Yi, Chen Qingzhu, and Zhao Shan to upload all the previously developed materials to the map editor library of "Warcraft".

Mappers can download these art assets at any time.

All that's left is time for the players.

Never doubt the creativity of players, which Chen Xu has always believed.

........................

It's not just players online who are surprised by Warcraft's map editor.

Including the major game manufacturers who pay attention to Chen Xu, they are also surprised at this time.

With the global sales of "Warcraft", Chen Xu did not need to think of ways to promote the existence of the game when he developed "Genki Knight".

To say that a stomp makes the game circle shake is basically.

The current Chen Xu has not yet reached such a level.

But at least it has reached the point where it can be noticed by peers in the industry immediately after sending an official blog message.

The effect of the Warcraft map editor, as well as the gameplay of the RPG map, instantly shocked other game designers in the industry.

You can still play like this!?

It's still like this!

Like the players, the game designers who have a deep understanding are also surprised.

Especially some designers who are working on RTS game development are also shocked to see this map editor that "Warcraft" suddenly came up with.

Isn't it said that it's just a simple RTS gameplay?

You just have a little more refined graphics, a better story, a better balanced gameplay, and a better concept, but everyone is still an RTS game.

As soon as this editor comes out, players can still make their own maps?

Experience RPG gameplay in RTS?

..................

But no matter what other game designers in the industry have to say about Warcraft's map editor.

For Chen Xu, the layout of "Warcraft" has basically been completed so far.

Regarding the development of "Warcraft", as well as a follow-up development, Chen Xu has planned very clearly.

For most players, there's a lot more to Warcraft that will keep them entertained.

Including the four major races in the game, various troops, and the cooperation of heroes, all of which can extend a variety of tactics.

Today's ladder ranking, in addition to the chaotic ore flow, wind flow, and undead ice armor spider flow that Chen Xu showed at the beginning.

A variety of other types of tactics have also been developed by the players.

And the new players joining overseas also keep Warcraft active.

As far as the content of "Warcraft" itself is concerned, for these RTS core players, it can be said that even if they play for ten years, they may not get tired of it.

What Chen Xu has to do here is basically to fine-tune some simple values in the game on a daily basis.

In addition, the planning of the RPG map is basically very smooth.

So far, quite a few players have done research on the map editor, which has led to more interesting maps.

This has attracted a large number of players who are not interested in RTS gameplay.

Even according to a data in the middle and background of the current Fengyun game platform.

The number of RPG maps played every day is almost catching up with the normal RTS battle.

This can be regarded as Chen Xu's expectation.

Because of the threshold of RTS complex hardcore to get started, most players are destined to be dissuaded.

Not everyone has enough hand speed to experience the pure charm of RTS.

Including "Warcraft" in the previous life, even if there is no impact of later MOBA games, players will also be diverted away by RPG, FPS, and other types of games.

There is no way to change that.

Unless there is a simplification of the RTS gameplay.

But without this kind of arrangement, the decision-making of various tactical situations, the style of RTS has completely changed.

It can't be called an RTS game anymore.

Stretching, Chen Xu leaned back in his chair and swiped the messages on the Internet with his mobile phone.

The official blog is basically full of all kinds of Aite players.

Most of them are also asking him to broadcast "Warcraft" again, and of course, many are also asking Chen Xu when the next game will be released.

Stretching, Chen Xu also touched his chin.

From "Genki Knight" to accumulate funds, and then "Three Kingdoms" initially stabilized the user base, and then "The Shore of the Land" solved a short-term income problem.

Then relied on "Warcraft" to completely make the Fengyun game platform stand firm.

It can be said that basically one of Chen Xu's previous ideas has been achieved.

Fengyun Gaming Platform now has more than 26 million registered users.

Including the daily active has also reached about 21 million.

The highest number of concurrent players was 7.7 million.

Of course, this number is not a game, but the cumulative number of the four games of "Three Kingdoms", "The Shore of the Land", "Warcraft" and "Genki Knight".

The highest number of players launched through the Fengyun game platform is around 4.5 million.

Compared with the three head channel platforms of Yilong, Tenghua and Interactive Entertainment, there is still a big gap.

It can be a closed platform, that is, autonomous.

Fengyun game platform can be said to be already top-notch.

Of course, this data has not been released, and the outside world does not know.

At present, Chen Xu is still in a situation where he has made a fortune in a muffled voice.

But for Chen Xu, this is not enough.

Once the platform is opened, it will be equivalent to directly competing with the three major ones.

And now the foundation of the Fengyun game platform is still a little worse.

"We also need one or two excellent works to lay the cornerstone, attract more users, and then consolidate. Chen Xu closed his eyes and thought in his heart.

Then Chen Xu opened his eyes.

For the next game, he already has an idea in his mind.
