Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 389 One more time...why is it dark

Light Wing Entertainment.

In the morning, Liu Yuxin finished his overtime work all night and just came to the garage to drive home.

"These programs are fished every day, and the new version is completed after working overtime all night."

Liu Yuxin lit a cigarette and complained a few words. He didn't know why his recent life was so unsatisfactory.

Maybe it's because Lao Xie has recently sent all kinds of photos of leisurely drinking tea and playing around, which stimulated him...

"It's really different. Why do I have to stare at the project until the early hours of the morning, and Lao Xie just eats, drinks and has fun all day long? And he earns a lot more than me, damn it."

Liu Yuxin put out his cigarette, sat in the car and prepared to drive home.

Although he stayed up all night, Liu Yuxin is the leader after all. He can secretly take a nap in the office, sleep intermittently, and check the work when the overtime work is about to end in the morning. Sleepless all night.

Therefore, many leaders emphasize that they are also 996, but in fact their 996 is not the same thing as the employee's 996.

But even so, Liu Yuxin still felt that his old bones were about to fall apart, and he had to go home immediately and lie down on the bed to rest.

Turning on the autopilot mode, Liu Yuxin turned on the bracelet and looked at the latest news and some industry news.

"Huh? Old Xie's "Auto Chess" has already been closed beta? This is too fast."

Liu Yuxin was stunned for a moment. He clearly remembered that "Auto Chess" had just released a message at the Alpha company's developer conference some time ago, and it has entered the beta stage so soon?
In fact, what Liu Yuxin didn't know was that there was already a demo of "Auto Chess" at that time, and the original painting and setting drafts of various chess pieces were also completed.

However, even if it is calculated according to the normal development time, the development time of "Auto Chess" is far shorter than the project that Liu Yuxin is in charge of.

As for why... don't ask, the question is the level gap.

"I chose at this time, and I'm really confident. I'm crazy about crashing with "Light of the Gods" and "Wind Chaser 2". Hey, but I have the confidence after all. Let's see how the quality of this game is."

Liu Yuxin silently felt sour in his heart.

Other mobile game companies have basically deliberately avoided the schedules of these two games. Although the mobile game "Light of the Gods" has been scolded by many players, the signboard of "Griffon Studio's mobile game" has always been After typing it out, other mobile game manufacturers still have to stay away.

As for "Wind Chaser 2", let alone the parent-son treatment of Alpha Company, with this mobile game, many recommendation positions will be crowded out, which is obviously very bad for other games.

If other companies release games at this stall, then Liu Yuxin can only gloat and give them three sticks of incense to save them.

But Tianji Studio is not the same. With the popular and successful game "City Defense" as a foreshadowing, "Auto Chess" won a big prize at the developer conference of Alpha Company during the testing stage. Recommended, a promotional video has aroused extremely high enthusiasm.

Tianji Studio is fully capable and has the confidence to release "Auto Chess" at this time. It is not them that should be worried, but "Light of the Gods" and "Wind Chaser 2".

Of course, who will die and who will live depends on the quality of the game.

Liu Yuxin opened his wristband, downloaded "Auto Chess", and went through the novice tutorial of the game while rushing home.

"Auto Chess" is a game that is quite difficult to get started. Its difficulty lies not in the operation, but in the understanding of the game mechanism.

For example, novice players often don't know much about the game's gold coin acquisition mechanism, don't know how to save it, and don't know how to spend it.The second is that I don’t understand the lineup in the game, and I don’t know which chess pieces should be taken at the current stage.

Which chess pieces need to be upgraded to three stars?Which two stars are enough?Which are just widgets?Most novice players can't tell the difference.

These two points are basically the biggest influencing factors on the game experience of novice players, and many novices are lost at this step.

Most of the remaining players learned it slowly by watching videos on the Internet and watching the explanations of the great gods. Once they have learned these two points, the game level can be steadily improved, and they can also better experience the fun of the game.

Therefore, this "Auto Chess" made a very rich introduction to the game mechanism in the early stage, so that players can better understand the game mechanism and get on the right track faster.

In the introduction of the game mechanism, the player will explain the mechanism of obtaining gold coins. In addition to obtaining fixed money every round, eating interest or winning streaks (losing streaks) is also one of the ways to obtain additional economy.

That is to say, it is better for players not to spend all their money every time, but to accumulate about 50 gold coins in the early stage to earn interest, and at the same time decide according to the strength of their initial lineup, whether to sacrifice some interest to pursue winning streaks, or simply play fake games to earn losing streak.

There is also a particular emphasis on spending money. Players’ initial money is mainly used to buy key chess pieces obtained for free, or to upgrade chess records at some special nodes, and the rest of the money is saved for interest.Under normal circumstances, you will not spend too much money to refresh the chess pieces, because the level of the game record is low, and the probability of generating high-quality chess pieces is also low, so the gain outweighs the loss.

The entire explanation of the economic system is completed during the game. Although the teaching process itself will inevitably be a bit boring, players can still get a certain amount of fun through the set battle scenes.

After introducing the economic system, there is also a set of special auxiliary systems to guide players in lineup selection.

The principle of this auxiliary system is actually very simple, that is, every time the pieces are refreshed, the intelligent system will rate the pieces according to the player's current lineup, the strength of the pieces, and the availability of the pieces, and score these three pieces. Marked on the holographic projection chess pieces.

Simple example:
If the player's current lineup is mainly for the six fighters, then when a new fighter is refreshed, its "lineup score" will be much higher than other chess pieces.

Similarly, assuming that there is no Doomguard in the player's current lineup, when rare pieces such as Doomguard and Tidehunter are refreshed for the first time with high attributes and powerful skills, their "strength score" will also be high.

As for the "Easy Score", it will comprehensively consider the current lineup of all players on the scene. For example, if everyone is playing the Goblin lineup, and the number of Goblin pieces available is already very small, then their "Easy Score" will be very high. Low, some chess pieces that few people get, the easy score will be higher.

These three ratings are all from 1 to 100 points, and the ratings are dynamically calculated according to the current situation on the field.For example, in the early stage of the game, when the player only has one or two chess pieces, the "lineup score" of most chess pieces will be relatively low, but they can still be distinguished.

Of course, this entire scoring system cannot actually meet the needs of some veterans.

Many real masters often adapt to the situation when playing "Auto Chess". Sometimes the lineup of a game needs to be changed three or four times or more. Such an auxiliary mechanism is actually not too much for them. big meaning.

It is precisely because the lineup of the game "Auto Chess" is very complicated, and the scoring mechanism is difficult to be absolutely accurate, so it is so fun.

Having said that, this auxiliary system is not prepared for masters, it is mainly to allow novice players to get started with the game faster and screen out the chess pieces they really need.Relying on this auxiliary system will definitely not become a master, but it is better than fumbling around by yourself.

Soon, Liu Yuxin ran through the entire novice tutorial and had a general understanding of the game's mechanics.

The novice tutorial is not short, Liu Yuxin looked up and found that he was almost home.

"Old Liu, are you back? Hurry up and have breakfast, I should go to work." Liu Yuxin's wife has already prepared the meal, and after the two of them had breakfast together, they went to work.

After Liu Yuxin finished his meal, he cleared the dining table, and after a brief wash, he lay down on the bed and got ready to sleep.

He was just about to take off his bracelet and go to sleep, but turned on "Auto Chess" by accident.

"Take a nap before going to sleep."

Liu Yuxin just finished the novice tutorial before. Although there were battles, they were all fought against the system AI, mainly to get familiar with the game mechanism.Liu Yuxin felt that he almost understood the gameplay of this game, so he wanted to start a formal game to try.

Turn on holographic projection mode.

"Auto Chess", start!

"In the early stage, choose a general lineup direction. I like mages, um, let's choose mages."

"Hey, the strength score of this chess piece is so high? It looks very powerful, take it."

"I need this chess piece, but why is the easy-to-get score a bit low? Forget it, let's take it."

"...What's the situation of losing all the time? So now we just have a losing streak?"

"That's right, we won the battle! Sure enough, I've gotten a lot better after ascension to the stars."

"Taking No.5, I feel that there are many mistakes in decision-making, and there is still room for improvement. And the key is that I am unlucky! Let's take another look."

Liu Yuxin finished the first game, and started the second game with great interest.

Soon, Liu Yuxin finished the second game, and started the third game with unsatisfied enthusiasm.

Soon, Liu Yuxin started the fourth with a little regret...

……

"Hahahaha! I finally got No.1! Awesome!"

"Unknowingly, I have reached the rank of knight, I am such a genius."

"Okay, it's time to sleep."

"Hey? Why is it dark?"

Liu Yuxin had been playing in the bedroom before, and because he was going to sleep, he drew the curtains to block out the sunlight from the window.

As a result, he left the bedroom to go to the toilet, walked to the living room and took a look outside the balcony, the sky had already turned dark!

Looking at the time again, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

"I... I played for ten hours?? No, I feel like I played more than ten times??"

Liu Yuxin was stunned. He originally planned to go to bed after a beating, but unknowingly, he played for the whole day!

"This game is poisonous!!!"

Liu Yuxin was about to vomit blood, this game kills time so much?

The most terrifying thing about this matter is that Liu Yuxin is the designer of the wristband game himself. What kind of wristband game has he never seen?

When he played "City Guard Battle" before, although the game was relatively toxic, he could still control himself better. After playing for an hour or two every day, he could resist playing it no longer.

There is a box-opening mechanism in "City Guard Battle", and the randomness of the game is not so strong, so it is just right to play for an hour or two every day, and Liu Yuxin also understands the fascinating way in it, so he can resist it Temptation, but only to analyze its design elements from the perspective of a designer.

But when it came to "Auto Chess", Liu Yuxin felt that he was completely out of control!Can't stop at all!
When playing this game, he played it completely with the mentality of a player, and was completely immersed in the game, and the time passed before he knew it!

And the most frightening thing is that when he thinks about "Auto Chess" now, he can't tell exactly where the magic of this game is.

If you think about it carefully, this kind of magic may come from two aspects, that is, the richness of the game content and the strength of the lineup in the random game. There are many factors such as lineup matching, chess piece strength, and equipment. Because it is complex enough, there is room for every style of play.The randomness is to ensure that the player's experience in each round is completely different, and it makes the player want to restart the round immediately after each loss, hoping that their luck will be better next time.

"It's over, Lao Xie's game is going to be popular again..."

Liu Yuxin was lying on the bed, and went to sleep unwillingly with the exhaustion from lack of sleep and the jealousy of Lao Xie...

……

On the Internet, the discussion about "Auto Chess" also began to explode rapidly!

""Auto Chess" is really interesting, I can't stop at all!"

"Go to sleep after playing this game... Fuck, why is it dawn?"

"The toxicity of this game is really not ordinary. It feels like my sleep is about to be completely killed..."

"Which master can give me a perfect lineup template? I still feel confused after playing for a day."

"There is no template in this game, you have to adapt to the situation! You have to wait for the template to see if the dealer will deal you cards."

"I feel that this game is similar to many card games. The key is not how to draw a good hand, but how to play a bad hand well!"

"Stop talking, another hundred million!"

So far, players are still in the exploratory stage of "Auto Chess", and the optimal match of each lineup has not yet been fully finalized, but this does not affect their love for this game.

Soon, the game "Auto Chess" became popular all over the Internet, whether it was on the game platform or on the live broadcast platform, it gained a very high degree of attention!
