There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 308 Only One Lin Yao

"A mod similar to "Heroes"?"

When Lin Yao heard Mu Wanqing's words, she immediately became interested.

She is actually mentally prepared for the birth of MOBA games in "Warcraft".

After all, that's how her dota in her previous life came about.

And the players here also seem to be very powerful. After the "Warcraft" editor came out, various creative workshop contents based on "Warcraft" have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The current creative workshop has become the biggest selling point of "Warcraft" and even the entire Vaporwave game platform.

and.

"Heroes" is now available.

Almost any player can tell that this game is actually born out of Warcraft. It just simplifies the complex organizational units such as buildings, resources, and training units in RTS, so that players only need to control the character they choose, that is, the hero. confrontation.

This can be done with an editor or with "Warcraft".

At this point someone has an idea.

Very normal.

but.

What step the player can do now... Lin Yao is not sure.

After all, Lin Yao's Dota in her previous life did not happen overnight. Once it was released, it became the classic that everyone knew.

The dota map has gone through several authors.

From Elus at the very beginning, to Guinsoo who took over briefly, and finally IceFrog, the most familiar ice frog, the current leader of the dota2 development team.

"Correct."

Hearing Lin Yao's question, Mu Wanqing gently pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, then walked a few steps forward, and came to Lin Yao's side, with one hand on her shoulder and the other holding the mouse , opened the Vaporwave game platform with her computer.

Then I found the map made with the Warcraft editor.

The map is called 'Lonely Hero'.

Just look at the name.

It should be a map made by the Chinese.

But because it is not a professional producer.

In the creative workshop, the detailed page of the map does not have much introduction. The author just said something similar to his feelings-"After playing "Hero" for a few days, my hands are a little itchy. The map made by imitating the hero is purely for entertainment. What's the problem? Feedback can be given, but not necessarily changed. '

It seems that if you want to know what's going on with this map, you can only know it by downloading it and playing it.

"I see."

Lin Yao took the mouse from Mu Wanqing's hand, and said with great interest, "I'll download it and play with it, Miss Mu, you can accompany my sister to visit Linmu Studio."

"..."

Mu Wanqing was slightly taken aback, and glanced at Lin Xi who was wearing professional attire like herself, and after a few seconds, she nodded lightly and said, "I see."

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Lin Yao pulled the keyboard and began to download the map and read the player's comments.

And the other side.

Mu Wanqing started to take Lin Xi to wander around the Linmu studio.

However, because the two sisters, Lin Yao and Lin Xi, are indeed similar in height and appearance.

This led to where Lin Xi went.

Wherever the staff turn back...

They looked surprised, even unbelievable.

Why did you leave the door...

The boss has become Yujie! ?

Lin Xi also noticed the gaze, facing the strange gazes that looked at him frequently, he asked curiously: "Why are they all looking at me? Do they usually do this?"

Mu Wanqing was also aware of this situation as she walked beside Lin Xi.

She guessed something, and explained: "It's usually not like this, but it's probably because you look too similar to Lin Yao, and since I haven't met you before, I thought you were Lin Yao who changed clothes..."

"Lin Yao who changed her clothes..."

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then remembered how he asked Lin Yao to change clothes in the fitting room not long ago, and couldn't help laughing.

And Mu Wanqing noticed that more and more staff members were showing puzzled expressions, and even quietly started to ask the colleagues next door, so she couldn't help but smile.

She also because of this.

Let go a little bit.

Although, this is not the first time she and Lin Xi have communicated. Mu Wanqing was responsible for a lot of handover work between Linmu Studio and Forest Financial Holdings before.

But it was the first time the two met offline.

Previously, Mu Wanqing and Lin Xi were talking on the phone, even if they met, they were always with Pei Yingyun...

Meeting for the first time.

Inevitably be cautious.

"Is it better?" Lin Xi suddenly asked, looking at Mu Wanqing who pursed her lips and smiled.

Mu Wanqing turned her head, looked at Lin Xi in a little surprise, and then nodded slightly.

"Actually, it doesn't need to be like this, I'm just here to visit..."

As Lin Xi walked forward, he said softly: "However, can you tell me about Lin Yao's usual situation? I'm actually curious about her usual working status. Although I'm her older sister, I don't know much about it like you .”

"Lin Yao..."

When Mu Wanqing heard Lin Xi's question, she repeated Lin Yao's name softly, then couldn't help but chuckled, and started talking to Lin Xi about Lin Yao's usual state.

The two talked while walking.

Common topics were found.

The rest of the restraint disappeared...

And the other side of the office.

Lin Yao sat at her seat, downloaded the map, went into the game to have a look, and played for a while.

really.

Much like Heroes.

Or more precisely.

It has the look of a MOBA game.

Although it is not Dota or Chenghai 3C that Lin Yao is familiar with.

This map has simple heroes, simple equipment, and simple mechanisms.

It is very entertaining, although it is very interesting, it can be seen that the author has a lot of ideas, but basically there is no balance at all.

But it turns out.

Indeed, some people are trying to use the foundation of Warcraft to make MOBA maps.

With curiosity, Lin Yao played the whole game.

Then quit the game, lost in thought.

There is actually nothing to say about this game. The author himself said that it imitates the entertainment map of "Heroes".

It is estimated that there is only one person.

The game map is not perfect.

What Lin Yao was thinking about was not the "lonely hero" map, but whether it was necessary for Linmu Studio to end by himself and go to "Warcraft" to make a map...

not kidding.

Although it is suspected of competing with "Hero" for business.

But players who have actually played the two games of League of Legends and Dota know that the difference between the two games is still very huge.

Audiences also vary greatly.

Lin Yao also felt that now that "Hero" is so hot, sooner or later there will be peers making similar games, maybe in order to make a difference, someone will actually make dota.

Then others are doing it, so it's better to do it yourself...

Differentiate yourself...

of course.

The thought is only fleeting.

Lin Yao just thought about it...

Because it feels too greedy.

Now "The Witch" is still under intense production, and the production team of "Warcraft" is also working on a new dlc, so there is no time for now.

"never mind……"

"Lin Yao!"

Lin Yao shook her head lightly, just giving up her thoughts.

Zhong Xiu appeared in her line of sight, and asked excitedly from a long distance: "Have you seen it? The map in the "Warcraft" creative workshop?"

"I see, what's the matter?" Lin Yao raised her head.

"Er...what's the matter?"

Zhong Xiu looked at the calm Lin Yao, and said anxiously: "No, this will have an impact on "Hero". Although the chances of this are very small now...but there is still a possibility. Fang made some restrictions..."

"limit?"

Lin Yao was a little amused: "That's a slap in the face. The editor is supposed to allow players to play freely, but now they have to give restrictions, and they are not allowed to make content similar to "Heroes"? What kind of creative workshop is that? It’s better to call it a private workshop.”

Zhong Xiu stared: "Isn't eliminating dissidents an important means for a commercial overlord to dominate?"

Lin Yao was silent for a moment, and asked, "Which book on success did you read it from?"

"……how do you know!?"

Zhong Xiu was shocked.

"Look less at those success stories!"

Lin Yao was angry and funny.

She knows all the veterans of Linmu Studio, they are all pure technicians.

Zhong Xiu would still be tinkering with the matter of porting hacked software to mobile phones in his spare time.

Zhu Nianqiao's favorite thing to do is to check other people's codes, and spontaneously prevent the shit mountain...

They really don't have much talent in business.

"Creative workshop is the signboard of the Vaporwave game platform. You can't use this thing to eliminate dissidents. If we really do this, players will spray us to death immediately, and the community will lose its vitality. In addition to the red lines related to politics and pornography, The creative workshop that allows players to play is the most attractive creative workshop, and the games we have made are not allowed to be made, there is no reason for this.”

Lin Yao shook her head and explained: "In addition, this can be considered as a contribution to the domestic game industry. If these players who make content in the creative workshop can enter the game circle one day, it will be a good thing, isn't it? As for the business hegemony... We beat everyone upright and stood up, wouldn't it be more fulfilling?

Besides... It's really not possible, we really met a very good producer, we can also recruit, what a big deal, players who know how to use the creative workshop and Warcraft editor, how can they be regarded as half-hearted fans of Linmu Studio? "

"..."

Zhong Xiu's eyes widened, greatly shocked: "This, you still know how to play..."

"What will play, I'm just stating the facts."

"Then we also recruit this producer now?"

Zhong Xiu looked at the creative workshop interface on Lin Yao's screen.

"Do not."

Lin Yao shook her head lightly: "I'm still immature. Although the author has a lot of ideas and knows how to use the background story and heroes of Warcraft to make a difference from "Heroes", he still has too much understanding of the values ​​​​such as hero equipment and game mechanics. It's immature, and it's not necessary for the time being, we just need to do a good job of "Hero"."

"……alright, I got it."

Zhong Xiu recalled the feeling of the "Lonely Hero" map he just played, and nodded slowly.

Compared to "Hero".

It's almost meaningless...

Remember this.

Zhong Xiu looked up at Lin Yao, admiring him even more...

Tell the truth.

The most important thing in a game of the type "Heroes" is value and balance.

Generally speaking, when a game like this is first launched, there may be more or less serious numerical and balance problems.

Because there are too many heroes, and there are also elements such as equipment, there are too many points to consider.

If you are not careful, you may lose your balance.

But "Hero" is very mature.

Although there are strong heroes, there are no major problems overall...and this is all because of Lin Yao's good foundation in the early stage.

I can only say...if the author of the map 'Lonely Hero' is Lin Yao.

Linmu Studio probably won't be so calm now.

But unfortunately, there is only one Lin Yao in the game circle.
