Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 492 The sense of oppression from big factories

The open betas of Glory of Heroes and Alliance of Gods are just the beginning.

The officials of these two games seem to be trying to suppress each other. If you send benefits, I will also send them. If you respond quickly, I will not be far behind.

From in-game activities, benefits, and update frequency; to out-of-game customer service feedback and community discussions.

As one of the few Moba online games on the market, the two are competing with each other in all dimensions.

The majority of players enjoy this phenomenon, after all, they are the ones who benefit.

As time goes by, these players have a certain understanding of the game, and they see the official trend of mutual differentiation.

The player group gradually evolved into three factions: the Glory Faction, the Alliance Faction and the Neutral Faction. From Weibo to 17173, and from Tieba to the official forum,

"Glory of Heroes, such a childish game, has no technical content at all. All you need is hands. It is only played by children."

"The Alliance of Gods is noble and amazing. Why don't you take a look at the number of players officially announced yesterday? It's still far behind us."

"That's right, good games are what the public likes."

"Elementary school students are on vacation, how can there be so many Heroes and Glory people? I played a few games, and all my teammates looked like retards. The Alliance of Gods has a better environment, and the threshold has been raised, so primary school students have been blocked out."

"Games do not distinguish between high and low, and can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people. I just wonder why playing a game and showing a sense of superiority is so noisy."

"From a young age, there is a father behind them. From a big age, they are all domestically produced games, and there is some culture in them. So please, when everyone criticizes each other, just curse, don't bring harm to the game, the game is innocent of."

The public opinion of players has made these two games even more popular.

This scene also opened the eyes of other manufacturers and media. They have seen two online game companies fighting to the death, but they have never seen one shoot themselves in the foot.

Is Chen Hao dizzy? Hit yourself.

Immortals fight and bring disaster to Chiyu.

Li Lijun looked at the player data that had dropped in recent days and felt like crying.

He is the chairman of Qifan Games and the founder of Haofang Battle Platform.

After Haofang was acquired by Shanda in 04, he gradually faded out of the management and took the money to leave. In the past two years, he finally started his business and built a Qifan battle platform.

Launched in July this year, it is a Moba online game based on Dota and True Three: Three Kingdoms.

Maps, catapults, troop blocking mechanisms, denying inexperienced mechanisms...the elements that Dota and True Three should have are all the same in the Three Kingdoms.

And some micro-innovations have been made on the basis. The character models have been redrawn, and there will no longer be the model of Zhensan, the model of Zhuge Liang as the blood mage, and the model of Guan Yu as the orc sword master.

The equipment bar has also been changed into a 9-square grid, mainly because the key positions have been optimized and changed into CEWD (QF) that can be mastered with one hand.

Once launched, it has been supported by players who play Dota and True Three, and has a certain number of player bases.

However, retaining the game elements of Dota and True Three is a double-edged sword. While it has a certain player base, it will make it more difficult to get started with this game than other online games. When novices have no one to guide them, there is a lack of novice guidance. The tutorial makes the game experience unfriendly.

Of course, Qifan is also aware of this problem. He has been continuously improving the experience of all aspects of the game since its launch in July, and everything is developing for the better. Although there is not much money for promotion, the number of players has also grown steadily.

Li Lijun predicts that in six months to one year, Qifan will become the well-deserved leader of domestic MOBA games.

As a result, this October, we ran into the behemoth Century Interactive Entertainment.

The people on Qifan's side also played Glory of Heroes and Alliance of Gods during this period, and the more they played, the more silent they became.

The silence is because our own products have been crushed in all aspects. No matter in terms of gameplay, mechanics, graphics, or quality, it feels like they are not on the same level.

As far as the game characters are concerned, they are inspired by the Three Kingdoms. They basically have ready-made backgrounds and characters, and their skills are all borrowed from the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

As for the opponents, although some shadows can be seen, most of the heroes' skills are completely original.

<divclass="contentadv">Not to mention anything else, the light keys are direct to QWERDF, which makes the operation much simpler.

Even the Alliance of Gods, which is more similar to the Three Kingdoms, they can't beat, let alone the Glory of Heroes.

How to fight a technical team of dozens of people vs. hundreds of people? What to fight with?

If you can't beat them, you can join. Li Lijun looked at the team's increasingly sluggish atmosphere and felt that it would not be okay to continue like this.

He immediately held a company-wide meeting, where dozens of employees gathered together and gave a mobilization speech.

These employees listened to the boss talk about the glorious history of Century Interactive Entertainment for more than half an hour, from the rise of Miracle to the chaotic war of Legend III, and then to the later innovative card-based online games, SLG development, MMORGP and other fields. A masterpiece that is astonishingly valuable.

The boss even came up with data to prove what he just said. At first glance, he thought the person standing on the stage was the boss of Century Interactive Entertainment.

After laying the groundwork, Li Lijun's tone rose and seemed a little impassioned.

“Facts have proven that Century Interactive Entertainment has never made mistakes in choosing tracks and directions.

But this time the other party came in a fierce manner, what does it mean? "

Having said this, he smashed the table in front of him with a bang, "The other party coming to grab food shows that we are on the right path. The MOBA online game market has a bright future. With the endorsement of Century Interactive Entertainment, I am more confident." .

Moreover, we are forward-looking and go online several months earlier than the other party. This is a head start.

Sitting back and waiting for death is not Qifan's style. The next thing to do is to start a defense battle just like playing tower defense.

In the face of a powerful enemy, what we have to do is learn from the barbarians and learn skills to defeat them.

At the product level, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these two games, and select the best and discard the dross.

Rapid iteration on the technology side.

Next, I will increase the resource investment in the Three Kingdoms Contest.

In addition, the 10V10 heroes are vying for the throne, and the online plan is advanced, striving to be online by the end of the month.

The opponent is a giant in the online gaming industry. It is unrealistic to defeat them, and I am not that arrogant. My goal is to let Qifan Platform and Three Kingdoms Hegemony, which we have worked so hard to build, follow closely behind.

Finally, I would like to thank you all for your hard work. The expansion packs of Heroes and Three Kingdoms are now online. All employees will receive an extra month’s salary bonus as a reward for their hard work. "

If you want the people below to work, a smooth pie is not enough. You have to give everyone hope to eat it, so that they will be more motivated to work hard.

After the mobilization was completed, the employees were full of energy. In fact, Li Lijun's heart was bleeding. Damn it, Century Interactive Entertainment. Originally, this money came from his own pocket.

The boss moved his mouth and broke his legs.

It's a good thing that Qifan's product manager didn't analyze it. After analyzing it, he found out where the dregs of the other two games came from. They were all the best and could be copied for a long time.

Not to mention the programmers, who work overtime every day to complete the needs of the product dog, just to get the project bonus as soon as possible.
