Almighty Game Designer

After the Spring Festival holiday, daily work has also returned to normal.

Many young people who returned to the capital from their hometowns brought back the matrix glasses that arrived during the Spring Festival, not only at parties, but some even brought them to their companies.

During the Spring Festival, only relatives and friends in the same hometown could share the matrix glasses, but now, this scope has been extended to colleagues and friends at work.

The popularity of matrix glasses is still unabated, and more and more people, under the turn of relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates, etc., have been unable to resist the temptation and want to buy and play by themselves.

This brand-new smart device is changing people's lives step by step and subtly, expanding at an extremely fast speed.

...

Chen Mo has also prepared the research and development plan for the new year. The first game is an exclusive mr game for matrix glasses.

This is an mr game based on the classic game of Chen Mo's previous life and added a lot of magic content: Elf World, English name pokemon world.

As for why you should choose this game?

Because the essence of both ar and mr games is: going out, which is the go emphasized in pokemongo.

Different from vr, mr games pay more attention to the combination of virtual and real, connecting a whole area through the game, allowing players to intersect in reality.

Although Chen Mo has launched games such as Three Kingdoms Kill and Jump for Matrix Glasses, their main purpose is to show players the characteristics of the combination of reality and reality, and more of a dazzling skill.

For example, Three Kingdoms Killing, the mr version of Three Kingdoms Killing is its biggest bright spot compared to solitaire and PC games. But what if compared to VR games?

Assuming that there is a VR version of Three Kingdoms Killing now, it can be ten times cooler than the mr version of Three Kingdoms Killing. After all, the performance of the game cabin is there.

The mr version of Three Kingdoms Killing focuses on face killing. If it is net killing, then being a mr does not necessarily have any advantages.

Therefore, Chen Mo chose to do Three Kingdoms Killing because he hoped that all players would go to face to face and kill, not to match with people on the Internet. Three Kingdoms Kill supports free combination of 2 to 8 people, and the rules are relatively simple and easy to use. It can be said that it is very suitable for mr games.

But like chess, Go and other chess and card types, although you can also play mr games, the effect will not be as good as Three Kingdoms Kill.

Because most of this kind of chess is one-on-one battles, and the competitiveness and professionalism are much stronger than Three Kingdoms. If four or five friends play together, there is no way to enter the same game, and only two pairs can be split. If the total number of people is an odd number, the extra classmate will be embarrassed; The level gap is too large, which may also make the game less fun.

At this time, on the contrary, the online version can match opponents based on points, which can better ensure players' gaming experience.

Therefore, although similar chess and card games are not bad, it is difficult to achieve a combination of virtual and real, at most it is just a table in reality. Most of the one-on-one chess and card games are difficult to achieve the effect of viral spread quickly.

Therefore, Chen Mo finally finalized Elf World.

In terms of subject matter, Elf World will not fully copy pokemongo, but will add more types of elves/pets.

In Chen Mo's previous life, the success of pokemongo benefited from years of IP accumulation, from animation to generations of console games, accumulating a large number of players for this series. So when pokemongo was launched, many fans were moved to tears.

But in the parallel world, players do not have such feelings, and they will not understand how precious this thing is when they see a Pikachu or Mewtwo.

It's not impossible to do anime to heat up IP.

The problem was that it was too long, and Chen Mo couldn't wait. The competition between smart glasses is so fierce, can a set of anime be instantly popular all over the world? Not particularly realistic.

What's more, Chen Mo now has a lot of IPs in his hands, so there is no need to be obsessed with the content of pokemongo.

At least there are several popular or once popular IPs available for Elf World now:

Plants vs. Zombies, Onmyoji, Diablo, League of Legends, Overwatch, Super Mario, Dark Souls, all of which have tons of available Elf materials, such as Baby Pea Shooter, Baby Pineapple, Baby Teemo, Mini Fortress, Baby Kuba, Baby Sewer Salary, and so on.

What's more, Chen Mo also has the entire world of Azeroth. You must know that World of Warcraft also has a small pet battle method, and all those strange things can be moved here.

Even games like ppybird, Minecraft, and PUBG Mobile can create linked sprites, such as Pixel Bird, Square Man Baby Steve, Pan Baby and the like.

The Last of Us Comes to a Sound Follower Baby? Painting is beautiful.

Of course, if these contents are all added up, the number of the entire wizard library is estimated to explode, but still, there are materials...

Except for the sprites in pokemongo that need to be completely redone, all other materials are ready-made and can be used after modification. Moreover, there is no need for the first version to expand the inventory of the entire Elf World to a large extent, and new elves will be released batch by batch later.

If the ip is not enough, then use more ip to make up, and then link with all the games on the Thunder game platform, so you don't have to worry about losing popularity.

In terms of gameplay, pokemongo is still the main gameplay, but some other AR games such as ingress will also be added.

That is to say, the core gameplay of Elf World is: elf/pet collection, elf/pet cultivation, elf/pet battle, gym competition and so on.

This is also the core competitiveness of Elf World as a super-explosive mr game: a large number of top-level IPs are piled up, fully interacting with the real world, and covering all the people who use smart glasses to the maximum extent.

It is difficult for other game companies to copy Elf World because there are not so many IPs at all. Moreover, in the absence of major innovation in the gameplay, it is impossible for the later game to surpass the first-mover advantage of The World of Spirits.

...

After the idea is roughly set, it is some specific details.

The design concept draft is not difficult to write, because the gameplay of Elf World is very mature, and the problems that need to be tangled are mainly in two aspects.

The first is to unify the style of painting, consider the performance of combat special effects, and provide players with the best mr visual effects as much as possible.

The second is to do a good job in the numerical balance between such a large number of elves and the entire battle system. \u003c
