Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

At twelve o'clock sharp, the new version of "dota" was updated.

Many players have entered the game one after another to check out the updated content of this new version.

This version update actually surprised many players.

Although it happens to be during the New Year period, "dota" itself is a game that has just been launched.

Although today's average players and some high-level players have actually reached a relatively large level.

But for most players, the game "Dota" is basically still at a relatively basic stage.

If you understand the hero skills, you also understand the equipment.

As for playing styles and routines, more players are still in a state of exploration.

For example, when it comes to making money, many players basically use the Battle Fury Ax as their default equipment for melee combat.

No matter what hero you are, as long as you need to earn money for melee combat, the first equipment choice is the Battle Fury Axe.

Ghost Fighting, Doombringer Fighting, Terror Blade Fighting, Phantom Spearman, Slark, no matter what hero, they all use the Battle Fury Axe as long as they are in close combat.

There is also a classic saying among the player community: If you can’t use the Tomahawk in close combat, it’s better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

As for equipment such as Hui Yao and Electric Hammer, many players currently do not think of them as money-grabbing equipment but as output equipment.

In a certain Internet cafe, Zhang Yi, Song Ren, and Wang Han all hung out to play together after lunch.

Of course, as Internet-addicted youths, the places they choose to visit are naturally places where they can play games online.

“I don’t know what content has been updated in the new version! It’s quite mysterious and there is no update list.”

The three of them found a company machine and sat down, chatting with each other.

"Stop talking and let my shadow demon take you flying." Song Ren's words were full of mysterious confidence.

Hearing Song Ren's words, Zhang Yi showed a speechless expression and couldn't help but complain: "Old Song, forget about your shadow demon. One of the three shots was fired, and the soul in his body was never full. The damage was all due to the body after death. Explode."

"That's right, your Shadow Demon winning rate has dropped to 30%, right?" Wang Han, who had just returned from buying milk tea, couldn't help but interrupt after hearing the conversation.

"Listen to me, if I don't choose this Shadow Demon, there's a high chance that a passer-by teammate will choose him, so I choose Shadow Demon first, so that the balance of victory and defeat can be in my own hands instead of looking at other people's faces. "Song Ren said confidently.

"But Lao Song, have you ever thought about a problem? If a passerby teammate chooses Shadow Demon, we have a 50% chance of encountering Zhao Yun or Adou. But if it is Lao Song and you play Shadow Demon, it is 100%. I met an Adou." Zhang Yi coughed twice and said.

Song Ren was speechless. What he said was so reasonable that he was speechless.

Several people who were chatting quickly opened the game interface.

As soon as the game opens, we see a brand new CG animation.

First, there was the red icon dynamic logo of "Dota", and then the camera slowly zoomed in and turned into the battlefield between Ye Banquet and Tianhui.

The scene opens with an animation of Mirana riding a white tiger and shooting arrows, and then Karl, the supplicant, plays with nine magic balls.

Then in front of the throne at the night banquet, the terrifying blade transformed into a huge demon, and the camera also came to the front of the Radiant World Tree. The dragon knight Davian awakened the power of dragon blood in his body and turned into a red dragon.

Accompanied by the dull sound of the horn, the soldiers of the Radiant Night Banquet set off from the barracks, and the heroes from different camps also headed towards the center of the battlefield.

The dragon knight breathed out the breath of fire, begging Shekar to cast powerful magic, and the shadow demon Nevin Moore sang the dirge of souls.

At the critical moment, a loud roar broke out.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and boulders collapsed.

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky in the center of the battlefield, and then a burst of excited laughter and narration were heard.

'Among the adventure stories that are widely circulated in Miners Bay, the one who bears the most infamy is the demolition engineer. ’

'Then Miners Bay disappeared from the world, as well as Crane Harbor and Hunter Town. In fact, if you study the history of blasting engineers, it is not difficult to find that as long as engineers appear in any town, the town will soon cease to exist. . ’

'But the three demolition wizards Squee, Spurin and Spoon who started it all didn't care about anyone who laughed at them, or anyone who noticed them. ’

'They only care about one thing: how they caused such a powerful explosion. ’

With a loud explosion, a very funny-looking Squee appeared on the screen pushing a cart and carrying a barrel of explosives.

New hero: Engineer.

This short title instantly surprised Zhang Yi, Song Ren and all Dota players.

‘Damn it, it’s a new opening CG again! ’

‘Lao Zhang calm down, after all it is produced by Nebula Animation Company. ’

‘New hero engineer? Will a new hero be released so soon? I feel like this hero looks a bit vulgar! ’

This new version update is just about game content, Chen Xu didn’t do much.

But it also brought a brand new hero.

Regarding the heroes in "Dota", Chen Xu had not released them all at once before.

Mainly to consider the learning cost of players, but also to prepare for subsequent updates.

What is most important to a game?

Balance and reasonable operation are actually correct, but there is another point that is the content of the game.

In the previous life, why did "League of Legends" surpass Dota and become the world's largest competitive game.

Some people say it’s the art style, while others say it’s the easier-to-use mode.

But this is just one of them, the more important point is the constant introduction of new content.

When Dota was involved in a copyright dispute between Blizzard and Ice Frog, "League of Legends" appeared to seize the market and constantly updated new heroes, adding nearly 90 heroes in just two years.

This allowed the early "League of Legends" to successfully seize most of the market from "Dota".

Of course, in addition to dota, there are many typical examples in the past life.

"Overwatch", a game in which Blizzard Tianhu started out with a poor hand of good cards, has cheats and its own game attributes, but the biggest problem is that there are still no new heroes and content released.

Similar examples include Blue Hole's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Epic's Fortnite. The former didn't start producing various products until its market share was taken away by the same type of Apex, Fortnite, and mobile games. Content.

The latter has always maintained high-frequency content and various linkages and activities. It can be said that it has never stopped for a moment.

Therefore, for Chen Xu, a large number of heroes will be temporarily launched in the early stage of "Dota", and the rest will be paved a little bit, which is enough to drive the early operation of the game.

Similarly, after enough heroes are produced, this area can also be slowed down, because by that time, players' understanding of the game has basically begun to progress from shallow to deep.

Through professional competitions and various game changes, there will be new content points.

………………

Players naturally don’t know the follow-up content of “Dota”.

But now they are very excited about the new version of "dota".

"Let me see, in addition to this new hero, there are additional activities!" Zhang Yi, who was looking at the updated content in the Internet cafe, was very excited.

This update not only adds Engineer, a new hero called Bomberman, but also some treasure skins.

What makes players more curious is the addition of a new man-machine challenge event.

Five players form a team to challenge the human-machine controlled by artificial intelligence. After winning, the player can randomly obtain a hero's treasure set. If they already have it, it will be converted into a mall coupon.

Of course, this AI challenge for players is not the version that Chen Xu tested before.

In this event, players will have an additional buff, which is that the economy and experience gained will increase with time, and there is no CD when buying a job.

It is an official cheating device. Although it is still difficult to fight, for ordinary players, as long as they use some reasonable tactics, such as using the AI's ultimate move and the CD of key props to cheat out, it can be said that the chance of winning is not low.

After all, it is a welfare activity for players, and it must not be too difficult. The only point worth challenging for players is the racing rankings to see who can win the fastest, rather than relying on additional buff accumulation to win.

Finally, comes the key update: turning on the ladder mode.

Many players have been looking forward to this mode for a long time.

Especially some players who think they are great players want to see where they rank in the game.

As for the ladder mode of "Dota", Chen Xu still adopted the mode from his previous life.

According to different scores, they are divided into vanguard, guard, middle army, commander, legend, eternal glory, extraordinary saint and the best in the world. Before the championship, each large segment has five small segments, and after the championship, the points are divided Mainly based on ranking.

As for points, lose 25 points and win +25 points. If you want to increase points, you must maintain a net winning rate.

In addition, there is the position mode, where players can choose from positions one to five.

The ladder ban rules are the same as those in the previous version of "Dota". Each player can choose a hero to propose to be banned in the game.

The system randomly selects 2 out of the ten places and bans them.

It can be said that the new ladder system has also aroused heated discussions among countless players.

"Let me see, 100 normal games, the conditions are quite harsh!" Song Ren in the Internet cafe looked at the requirements of the ladder mode and said with some surprise.

"It's normal. After all, the game "Dota" is really complicated. If you don't understand it, you will definitely get into trouble if you play the ladder." Zhang Yi was not surprised and was still studying.

"This Engineer hero is a bit wretched!" Wang Han is different. She is not that interested in the ladder mode, but is more concerned about the new heroes.

"Hurry up, hurry up, start the ladder! I'm afraid it's a little difficult to win the title. My requirements are not high. I think it should be no problem to reach the extraordinary." Song Ren was very excited.

"Pull it down, I think you are the name of a movie." Zhang Yi complained.

"What do you mean?" Song Ren said.

"'I am Legend'" Zhang Yi said.

"Your uncle!" Song Ren laughed and scolded.

"You two, stop arguing. I don't recommend playing on the ladder now. Masters will definitely come to play on the ladder as soon as possible to get points. The three of us together will be like missing three masters. The probability of losing is very high."

"In addition, the new heroes have just come out, and I don't know whether they are strong or not, but everyone will definitely want to play them even though they don't know how to play them. If they encounter this at home, their winning rate will be reduced by a few percentage points." Wang Han analyzed rationally.

"That makes sense! How about we play two games in this challenge? See how difficult this AI is?"

"Okay, let me, the shadow demon Niven Moore, take you flying!"

Several people took it together and quickly discussed it.
