From poor god to richest man

Chapter 290 Light Speed ​​Propagation

Thursday, February [-]th.

After many difficulties and many bug fixes, "Watch Agent" was finally officially launched this morning.

Although "Watch Agent" is the same as other games of Qiongshen, it is as low-key as ever, but there are a group of people who are watching the update of Qiongshen's game.

So almost in the next second after the launch, the news of Qiongshen's new game spread like wildfire, and spread at the speed of light.

Looking at the various data in the background, which kept soaring, Yan Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Judging from the current data, "Watch Agent" is finally off to a good start."

Li Hubai on the side nodded and said, "That's true, but it's also thanks to Mr. Zhen's foresight."

"Yes!"

Thinking of this, Yan Lan couldn't help but sigh. Mr. Zhen was praised by people in the industry as a genius game designer who is rare to see in a century, and he was indeed well-deserved.

At the beginning, Yan Lan and the others did a lot of "castration" of the game in order to get "Watch Agent" online as soon as possible, only keeping the core gameplay.

For example, the number of heroes has been reduced to just over 20. They want to wait for the game to go online and receive the first payment before updating it one after another.

But this idea was resolutely suppressed by Mr. Zhen, and he forced them to have less than a hundred heroes, and the game was not allowed to go online.

In order to fulfill this requirement, when they go to work, their brains and hands are almost never rested, which can be said to have pushed the efficiency to the extreme.

Although this process was hard, the rewards were not small. At least let them see how dangerous it was to slowly update the hero's thinking at that time.

Whether it is Yan Lan, Li Hubai, or others at Lavender Studio, they all feel that as long as the values ​​​​are done well, even adding new heroes will not destroy the balance of the game.

But when they added new heroes to the game and tested them, they suddenly discovered that things were completely contrary to what they expected.

As the number of heroes increases, in order to give players more choices and build more tactical systems, the skills and forms of heroes must not be too uniform.

Especially for the heroes in "Watchmen", the common attack methods, in addition to the flat A, include directly hitting people with a hammer, and flying around with gloves.

After many factors are combined, some heroes are extremely easy for novices to pick up, but they will also exploit the game experience of other players.

For example, the hero "Steel Braised Egg" has high mobility and high lethality. He can quickly cut into the opponent's back row, kill the crispy milk and damage output, and then retreat calmly.

And if you want to get started with this hero, the time cost is extremely low. After playing for a short period of time, after you figure out the shape of the skill and the CD time, you can come and go freely with a set of brainless combos.

Players who play "Steel Marinated Eggs" are really happy, but what about other players?Especially the crispy nanny and output, it can be said that there is no game experience at all.

So after discovering this problem, Yan Lan and the others modified this hero. Although the skills are still those skills, at least there will be no brainless combos to kill the opponent's back row.

Of course, if you are a master-level player, you can still perform highlight operations, but you have to play at the master level. In his hands, he can perform well with any hero.

If one hero is modified, the other heroes must also be changed accordingly. If they hadn't created so many heroes in one go, how would Yan Lan and the others know that the balance of "Agent of Overwatch" is so difficult to achieve.

If they follow the original plan and only launch more than 20 heroes, and then slowly update the heroes, then there will only be one situation, that is, the game balance will be destroyed in an instant.

And they must also spend more energy on repairing the game environment, otherwise it will cause the loss of players.

But in this way, the original plan to update the speed of heroes will be seriously slowed down. At that time, let alone update one hero a month, there may not be a new hero born in a year.

Of course, Yan Lan and the others can completely ignore the players' complaints and just care about their own enjoyment, not only not repairing the game environment, but also not updating the heroes.

At most, there is too much water to add noodles, and too much noodles to add water to fool around, pretending that I am working hard to change, but in fact, not only is it useless, but it is getting darker and darker.

But don't forget, Qiongshen's KPI values ​​the player's reputation the most. If Yan Lan and the others dare to do this, they will definitely be kicked out by Boss Zhen.

"Mr. Zhen must have foreseen the possible problems at that time, so he gave so many mandatory requirements! He really has a unique vision!" Yan Lan thought in her heart.

On the Internet, after learning that Qiongshen released a new game, players flocked to it.

And when they saw the introduction of "Agent Overwatch", they immediately recalled the original CG animation. It turned out to be to build momentum for this game!
"Oh! Qiongshen is dead! Why did it take so long for this game to go online?"

"Do you think that developing a game is about eating and drinking? Even if all the conditions are very mature now, it takes a lot of time to test and adjust just for the numerical balance."

"There are still bugs."

"I suddenly discovered that there are almost no bugs in Qiongshen's game! I don't know if all of their employees are bald."

"It should be, otherwise how can you fight like this?"

"Stop talking, I've downloaded the game, let's play it first!"

In the game, there were already players with top-end internet speeds and computers, and they began to fight. Now everyone is still in the groping stage, so the battle situation looks particularly chaotic.

However, this does not prevent players from enjoying the process. It is not that they have never played shooting games, but it is indeed the first time they have come into contact with shooting games that can throw away skills.

"Eat my hammer!"

In the game, the hero in heavy armor yelled and hit the ground with a hammer, shaking the ground in front of him and knocking down all enemy players within the skill range.

"Six I rely too much on it, I'm crying!"

The output behind him shouted loudly, and a blue dragon roared past, harvesting all the enemy players who hadn't gotten up yet.

"Yes! Brother!" The player controlling the sledgehammer praised.

In the game, players can communicate in real time through the game's built-in voice system. Of course, players who don't want to talk, or players who don't have a microphone, can also communicate by typing.

However, in this kind of battle where the situation is changing rapidly, it is still a little too late to communicate through typing, so many players use the microphone to talk.

"Hmph! You're not bad either!"

"As for it? Two big moves! Crazy!" The opposite party took advantage of the resurrection and typed on the public screen.

If you want to communicate with other players, you can only type, otherwise a dozen people will scream at the same time, which will not only make the scene more confusing, but also bad for your ears.

"It's not your tank*****" Another person on the other side typed, but judging from the series of asterisks behind it, it was definitely not a good thing to say.

Then people on both sides saw an official game notice that the player had been banned for 24 hours because of his aggressive words.

If a similar situation occurs again, they will be banned for three days, seven days, one month, or three months, and those who refuse to mend their ways will be banned.
