God-level game designer starts with scared crying anchor

Chapter 369 Test
May NO.16, Friday.

Xingyuan Game Company, Ding Fanxin, Chen Xueshu and several employees, and their respective team leaders are testing "League of Legends". Now they are mainly testing the special effects and effects of skills, as well as some possible trigger situations.

Since the game is still in the development stage, the beta version looks extremely rough, and many things in the map are even taken directly from "Warcraft: The Frozen Throne".

For example, the grass, wild monsters, and elemental dragons in the game are flying dragons of various colors, and the big dragons are frost dragons that cannot fly.

The images of some heroes are also directly filled with the heroes in "Warcraft: The Frozen Throne". For example, Galen is replaced by Juggernaut.

Xun Ze was like a referee or a coach. Standing behind Ding Fanxin and watching them peck at each other, he always had a wonderful feeling of not knowing whether he was watching "League of Legends" or "DOTA".

But no matter which game it is, Ding Fanxin's operations are real, especially when Xun Ze is wearing the title of number one player, it can be said to be hot-eyed.

"By the way, why do you buy so many armors as a Galen?" Xun Ze couldn't help asking a male employee.

"Ah? President Xun, this is to make Galen more fleshy! I have seen Galen's setting, it should be a tank! How can it be less fleshy?" The male employee said confidently.

"Yeah. What you said makes sense." After Xun Ze smiled helplessly, he asked another female employee, "Why do you buy so many pairs of shoes?"

There is no discrimination in Xingyuan, whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you are capable enough, you can be the person in charge, let alone play games.

What's more, the purpose of testing the game is to collect more information, not only the information of male players, but also the feedback of female players. You must know that in the original world, there are not a few female players in "League of Legends".

The female employee was slightly taken aback, and then replied: "Mr. Xun, I am playing Ice Shooter. My body is as brittle as ice, and I can't build defenses. Then buy two more pairs of shoes to run around!"

"But no matter how many shoes you buy, the effects won't add up..." Xun Ze explained.

"Ah? Is that so?" The female employee said in surprise.

"Yes. You can check more in the game and pay attention to the growth of heroes' attributes. These are very necessary." Xun Ze replied patiently.

"Okay. Mr. Xun."

Although the female employee quickly sold the extra shoes, the equipment was still a bit of a mess, and the most important thing was that she often looked into the grass with her face.

Sure enough, when the female employee got into the bushes again, three big men rushed out of it and grabbed her to death.

"Ah! You are not only sneak attacking, but also bullying the few! You don't talk about martial arts!" The female employee typed and complained on the public channel. Xun Zexin said that if your typing speed can be used in operations, Xingyuan probably has few people who are yours. opponent.

"Hahaha! This is the essence of this game!" Two seconds later, someone from the other party replied.

However, this person was probably busy typing and didn't pay attention to check the field of vision over the wild area. Galen was rushed to kill him three or two times.

"I'll avenge you!" said the male employee playing Galen.

"Thank you. You help me, and I will help you later." The female employee replied with a smile.

Xun Ze sighed lightly, the other party's profligacy, if not killed, there will be ghosts, no matter how good the skills of the two sides are, it will not be impossible to kill a crispy hero who can't move and is still blood.

In the end, Ding Fanxin's side won this round, and they still won by a narrow margin. If it wasn't for the opponent, they wouldn't know how to play. They don't know how many times they would be counter-killed.

In general, this round of testing can be described as chaotic. Although everyone knows the positions of all heroes because it is an internal employee, it is still not systematic, let alone tactics.

They don't cooperate with each other, they don't know how to support, and they don't know how to grasp the opponent's weak points. Fighting is completely dependent on fate, and the number of team battles is very few.

After the test, Xun Ze asked: "How do you feel after the test? If you have any questions, please ask them in time."

The male employee playing Galen thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xun, is the novice tutorial for this game too detailed? It almost teaches players how to play in every detail. There should be no players who don't even understand these basic operations." !"

In the opinion of this male employee, anyone who has played "Battle of the Gods" and "Chenghai 3C" should know how to operate it.

However, the novice tutorial of "League of Legends" guides things such as moving, attacking, hiding in bushes, fighting wild monsters, pushing towers, buying equipment, etc., which makes him feel that it is a bit unnecessary.

Xun Ze smiled and said: "Your layout is too small! "League of Legends" is not just for players who have played these two maps. I want to operate "League of Legends" as a game for all.

These novice tutorials may be superfluous for players like you, but if players who have never been in contact with MOBA games enter the game, will they be confused?

And not all players have superb skills, they need to invest more time and cost to learn, so "League of Legends" should be as simple as possible from the beginning of the novice guidance.

Only when it is simple and easy to use can it attract and retain more players, and only when there are more players playing can the depth of the fish pond of "League of Legends" be sufficient. "

Even if Shui Lanxing has more people playing the game, the number of rookie players will also increase accordingly. It is estimated that less than [-]% of the players who can really play "League of Legends" well, can be called masters.

Of the remaining [-]% of players, it is estimated that half of the players are not very good at playing, and the remaining half of the players are in the "okay" stage.

Make the novice guide so detailed, and then simplify the operation of the game as much as possible. This approach will not affect the performance of expert players. Different heroes can still show off in their hands.

And the remaining players can also stay in the game because of the simple operation, and compete with other "evenly matched" players, and try to keep the winning rate of most players between 50% and 60%.

This winning rate may seem a bit low, but it is necessary. Although every player wants to win often, there are definitely winners and losers in competitive games.

Constant crushing will make the player enter the sage time too quickly, and then the game will be boring, just like many stand-alone games, after the resources in it are adjusted to the highest level, the player has no interest in playing.

And if you keep losing, it will greatly damage the player's self-confidence and give the player too much negative feedback. For some players, going to work and school is already tiring enough, and they just want to relax after playing games.

If you keep losing, let alone relax, your blood pressure will probably soar directly.

There are wins and losses, and there is a degree of relaxation. If you win, you want to continue to win, and if you lose, you want to win back. This can make players "deeply trapped" in the game and it is difficult to extricate themselves. It is also one of the important factors that make "League of Legends" quickly spread .
