Chapter 355 The Last Survivor

Regarding the test of the League of Legends, Chuhe just glanced at the report submitted by Cheng Yu, and didn't know much about it. Anyway, the relevant project document is already complete, as long as there are no major mistakes, such as major bugs, and logical error.

As for whether ordinary hero skills are reasonable or unbalanced, this needs to be tested in the later stage before a conclusion can be drawn.

Facing a bunch of data and code comments?

Who can guess this?

Not a fairy myself.

At the same time, the negotiation with Blizzard on the acquisition of the DOTA trademark rights is currently at a standstill. On the one hand, Blizzard itself does not want to release the DOTA trademark. After the success of World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s whole mind is placed on the follow-up update of the World of Warcraft project. , On the one hand, some people were drawn out to set up a sci-fi game project with the background of the future world.

As for DOTA, a cub produced as a World of Warcraft map editor, it is actually difficult for Blizzard to pay attention to it, but on the one hand, Ice Frog has contacted S2, and the promotion of HON, that is, the super hero, has already begun to operate in North America.

Blizzard itself also wants to build this series into a branded game, but it is a big difficulty in terms of manpower, and it can almost be understood as Blizzard's arrogant attitude.

The concept of the game is indeed very interesting, but Blizzard itself does not want to make a fuss about the DOTA game. What they want is to create a game that is different from DOTA, rather than simply using a new engine to develop a game. It is exactly the same game as the original DOTA except for modeling.

This is Blizzard's idea of ​​not going the way of others.

But Tianhe Network is not in a hurry, and will grind with you slowly, anyway, there will always be a result.

If you want to make authentic DOTA, unless you are a small factory, you will definitely have a copyright dispute with Blizzard.

Even HON, which temporarily recruited Ice Frog and its team to S2game, which claims to build the blood of DOTA, does not follow the successful template of DOTA.

You must know that Ice Frog has updated the DOTA map for several years, and he and his team are most familiar with DOTA.

But it is a pity that he could not completely copy DOTA, because in Blizzard's war3 map editor, there is a clear statement that all the property rights of the map created by the editor belong to Blizzard.

Otherwise, S2game and Ice Frog, whether it is for money or for the so-called game dream, the best result is naturally to move over completely.

Unfortunately, affected by copyright, this is impossible unless an agreement can be reached with Blizzard.

This is also the reason why Chuhe is planning to contact Blizzard. If he can get the copyright, he will invite Icefrog and his team to develop the original DOTA sequel without any problems.

Of course, the models in the game and some special equipment names must also be changed. After all, the original DOTA background is inextricably linked with the background of Warcraft.

…………

When the studios of Tianhe Network, Longzu, and TINGK were relocated, the first month's sales of the rainstorm had already settled.

The sales volume of 370 million is far from being a successful sales volume. After the sales volume exceeded 200 million in the first two weeks, more and more customs clearance live broadcasts were posted on the Internet. Players have come into contact with this game from videos and live broadcasts.

The voice of praise is increasing day by day, but the sales volume has not increased significantly, and it can even be said to be very slow.

This is the shortcoming of interactive movie games. For example, in the official forum of Huaxia District, there are more than 120 million players who have followed the rainstorm block.

However, according to the final sales statistics, the China region, including the Hong Kong version and the US version, only contributed more than 50 copies, accounting for one-seventh of the total sales.

Obviously, more than one-third of the people in the forum should be cloud players, and this is just an official forum.

This is about the situation in China, and it is actually the same in foreign countries. There are even more cloud players in foreign countries than in China.

However, EA is quite happy about the reputation of cloud players after the game fermented. Although the sales of 370 million copies made EA not profitable, the most important thing is the explosive praise.

EA's market value, which has been falling, has finally recovered a bit, and it may have reached a peak, but it cannot be denied that it must also be related to the heat of the rainstorm.

"About the inside tour of Star Wars Battlefront 2? I'm really interested, but I'm afraid I don't have much time this month."

"Yes, there is a new project."

After hanging up the phone with Charles, Chu He shook his head slightly.

Participating in the closed beta for Star Wars Battlefront 2?
Well, although I am interested, I am quite busy now.

Not to mention your EA games, but several other projects within Tianhe Network. Chuhe doesn't have much time to understand them for the time being. Anyway, there is a dedicated person in charge, and he is not the person who initiated the project.

Chuhe is currently interested in the new game he is about to prepare, the end of civilization being destroyed, but it is not a wasteland as imagined.

The dilapidated ruined city, the green nature, the two stark contrasts, the city under the doomsday has begun to become natural, players need to fight not only the same zombies as in Left [-] Dead, but also the sinister human heart.

Sitting in the office, Chuhe continued to improve his documents.

"For the plot story, you can probably refer to McCarthy's "The Road" novel, but for the roles of father and son, it may be more attractive to players to replace them with daughters."

Chuhe thought in his heart that since he decided to start making doomsday-themed games, Chuhe has been watching all kinds of doomsday-themed movies, novels and TV series.

As for games, forget it. Even if you don’t do apocalyptic themes, such as Resident Evil and Wasteland, you have already studied them badly.

"No surreal weapons, no awakening of superpowers, the most realistic doomsday world, limited bullets, equipment that can be damaged and cannot be repaired, and even all objects can interact." Chu He thought in his heart.

This time Chuhe is going to make a different doomsday game. There is no hot scene where hormones soar to the extreme, and it is a doomsday game that is close to reality. The plot interacts with the details.

Just like A Red Dead Redemption, Chuhe is going to tell a story, a story that is not so spectacular.

"However, if the background of the game is set in Huaxia, is it possible to pass it?" Chu He thought for a while, and then decisively put aside this bold idea. Huaxia encountered a virus and was destroyed?Don't dare, don't dare, it's better to locate the overhead world.

Filling in the document with all the things that came to mind temporarily, and making notes, Chu He stretched, and finally cut back to the top of the document, thought about it and typed a name - "The Last Survivor".
