Chapter 107

The core players of domestic RTS games are also discussing such a new RTS game.

Some "Legion conquest" player group.

"I heard that there is a new RTs in China. It's been very hot recently. It's been discussed everywhere."

"I've heard that it's called Warcraft. It's a fantasy."

“…… Really? Isn't West fantasy and RTS the two forbidden areas of domestic games? The two companies, Emperor Chao and Chan Yi, have run into each other's heads. Who else dares not to die? Two at a time? "

"Thunder entertains each other, Chen Mo's company."

"Chen Mo? I haven't heard of it. "

"You've heard of" Plants vs. Zombies "and" my name is Mt "

"Ah? Isn't that a tour company? Transform to PC end? What else do you do is RTS? "

"I'm not afraid to die..."

"But it's said that this guy is very evil. He can play all kinds of games, and he can play a fire game. I'm already downloading Warcraft. I'll share my experience with you later! "

"Go, warrior! The villagers are waiting for you to come back alive! "

……

This group of players are all fans of RTS games, most of them are playing Legion conquest.

A group manager nicknamed Kaiser asked in the group, "right? New RTS games? I'll download it and have a look. "

As soon as he spoke, a lot of people exploded.

"Wow, is God K going to test the poison himself? Yes, I'm happy to wait for the chicken. "

"God K is bubbling. Wow, Niubi, take a group photo."

"K God," Warcraft "has to be downloaded on thunder game platform, you can search it."

This ID is Kaiser's guy. It's also a famous figure in the RTS game circle in China. The Legion conquest game has several famous gods in China. Kaiser is one of them.

However, Kaiser is not the top group of players. He ranks in the top ten in China. He is famous because he often complains about the shortcomings of the game "Legion conquest" on the forum and often writes letters of advice to foreign developers. Of course, it has not been adopted.

Kaiser is also an opinion leader in the RTS player circle in China, with a group of fans. His teaching video of "Legion conquest" has also influenced a large number of RTS players.

Originally, this guy is a year-round diver in the group, which is in line with the image of God Gao Leng. But today, I heard that a new RTS game has come out, and he can't help bubbling.

In fact, the so-called K God, who has a large number of fans on the Internet, is nothing more than a sophomore in high school.

Xue Kai, game ID: Kaiser, 17, is a god level player in Legion conquest.

Xue Kai has a good family and is very keen on RTS games. He has captured a large number of fans through video and live broadcasting. However, he always has great opinions on Legion conquest.

I've written many suggestions, but after all, it's a foreign game. Even if Xue Kai found someone to translate the letter into English, it won't attract the attention of the developers of Legion conquest.

Therefore, Xue Kai has been suffering from the lack of better RTS games. It is said that there is a designer in China who has developed an RTS game. He tries it with a fluke mentality.

In case, I mean in case, is the game fun?

Find the thunder game platform, register the thunder game pass and download Warcraft.

Soon, the download is complete.

The icon of the game is a young man with three evils. Although a small icon doesn't show much, it feels great.

Xue Kai double click the icon to enter the game.

First of all, there is a passage CG, the logo of thunder game flashes by.

The roaring wind blows, and the camera swoops down from the clouds like a bird flying freely.

Along with the sound of the wind, melodious melody sounded.

A crow flies over the snow capped mountain and the barren Valley, and finally comes to a prosperous human city-state.

The palace of mankind, the capital of Lordaeron.

Countless voices are talking, and the old king Terenas is meditating on the throne.

At this time, the crow flew in from nowhere and landed in the middle of the hall, in front of the old king.

The background turned low, and the strange crow caught the old king's attention.

Just as the people were arguing, the crow suddenly flashed a strange green light. In the eyes of the people, the crow turned into a person.

Medivh.

His face was hidden under his hood, but his voice rang through the hall.

"Human beings are in crisis. The tide of darkness will come again, and the world is on the brink of war! ""Your people, the only hope is to move to the west, to the forgotten continent, Kalimdor!"

The old king looked serious. He stood up from the throne and said, "I don't know who you are or what you believe in. But now is not the time to make predictions. Our country is suffering from war, but it is up to us to decide how to protect our people! It's not you! "

At this time, the melody becomes a little sad.

Medivh's voice seemed a little lost: "I once lost my humanity, but I won't do that again."

"If you can't solve the problem, then I'll find someone else to solve it."

Medivh turns around and leaves, leaving only a whisper like a whisper.

"I have given warning that their fate is now in their own hands."

The screen is black, CG is over, enter the game screen.

This CG is very short, but it contains a large amount of information. Xue Kai didn't pay attention to the story of Azeroth before, but he still got a lot of information from this CG.

At this time, the kingdom of mankind is being invaded by orcs, and the unknown plague is spreading. A mysterious prophet came to the human palace, but his words did not attract the attention of the king.

A short CG highlights the suspense of the whole story. Although Xue kaigen didn't know who Medivh was or what the human kingdom was, this CG successfully aroused his interest, which is enough.

Moreover, CG is well made.

In this world, there are not good animation and CG companies, nor good sound companies and voice actors in China. The only thing missing is money.

As long as the money is given, you can make great CG works. Even if you can't completely reach the CG level of the top foreign works, you won't be much worse.

But the only problem is that most game developers are not willing to spend this money.

After all, CG is generally only 2-3 minutes, and the money for a CG is almost equal to the research and development of a boutique mobile game.

How much did Chen Mo spend to make these CG?

There is no conclusion about how much Blizzard's CG cost in the past, but it is widely said that the cost of WLK's CG is $5 million in 3 minutes.

In the parallel world, animation and CG technology are more developed, human cost is reduced, and with more advanced real-time computing technology, the price is reduced a lot.

Chen Mo did not choose the highest level of CG, but chose a cheaper, relatively affordable CG level.

But even so, Chen spent more than 37 million yuan.

This is the result of cutting the plot. Chen Mo has been able to cut and delete those less classic plots, which is almost madly reduced to 37 million.

For example, the opening animation of "Warcraft" was directly replaced by the one that Medivh warned the old king, and the CG in front was cut off.

In order to do these CG's, Chen Mo basically compensated all the money that had been lost in the previous period of time. Even if the budget of some places was not enough, he could only make do with the real-time calculation a little, or replace it with the black screen narration, which could save money.

To be honest, if there is no such level of money pit game support as "my name is Mt", Chen Mo really has no money to do this kind of money burning thing, most of which is to make a castration version.

In Chen Mo's own sense, if we open up to do these CG's, the cost is really light and loose. He can't get so much money to play now.

The cost of the game itself, including art resources and so on, is nothing compared with the money for CG. Now, Chen Mo has realized the saying: "ten years for games, nine years for CG."

This matter, Su Jinyu they all don't know, only Chen Mo and dazzle move the person in charge of Aurora studio Guo Feng quite clear. If we let Su Jinyu and Qian Kun know, they will be shocked.

After all, it's too risky. What if no one pays for Warcraft? Isn't that tens of millions of people have drifted?

How much money do you have to earn if you use all this money to do the "my name is Mt" kind of pocket money tour!

But Chen Mo himself knows, is it worth burning money to make CG?

Other CG is not necessarily, but it's too valuable to be a world of Warcraft CG! You know, every CG here will become a classic in the history of games. Even if the money doubles, it's worth it!

Chen Mo dares to burn all the money in, because he knows that this is almost a steady business, and he can set up the golden signboard of Warcraft, and there will be places to make money in the future.

What's more, 37 million dollars is converted into more than 6 million dollars, which is quite cheap!

……

On this level, Xue Kai thought it was very, very amazing. Few domestic game companies spend so much money on CG, and even foreign companies are willing to do so.What's more, this CG has not only quality, but also connotation!

Xue Kai is shocked instantly. Click to start the plot mode.

Arthas, Prince of mankind, exchanged greetings with Uther, the Lightbringer, and the battle officially began.

Here is a relatively simple operation prompt, which guides Xue Kai to select the unit with the left mouse button and move it with the right mouse button.

"Well? Is it different from the operation mode of Legion conquest

Xue Kai was a little surprised, because "Legion conquest" is the benchmark of RTS games, few RTS games dare to change its settings in terms of basic operation.

As a senior player of RTS game, Xue Kai did not fight in the first time, but first studied the operation mode of Warcraft.

Left click to select, right click to move. After selecting units, there are many command buttons on the bottom right, including move, stop, keep in place, attack, patrol, and hero skills.

Moreover, these operations have shortcut keys.

"Stay in place? Patrol? "

Xue Kai clicks the [patrol] button and selects a location on the map. Arthas immediately runs back and forth between the two points.

"It's a rich operation type, much richer than the Legion conquest." Xue Kai was surprised.

Moreover, the hero's skill setting makes him feel special. In Legion conquest, although there are some special units, there is no concept of "hero".

In Warcraft, the hero becomes one of the game settings. The top left corner will display the hero's head image. The hero will also have special skills and play a very important role in the battle.

In addition, there is an item bar at the bottom right. Although there are no items at present, it is clear that the game supports the setting of obtaining and using items.

"Interesting, there are innovations in so many places."

Xue Kai controls Alsace and begins to challenge the plot task.

In the process of completing the plot, Alsace is also constantly talking, responding to Xue Kai's instructions.

"Of course."

"For glory!"

"May the Holy Light protect my people."

This is similar to Legion conquest, but the localization of Legion conquest is not perfect, and many translators are embarrassed.

And the character lines of Warcraft are personally checked by Chen Mo, with the translation of previous generations as the contrast and reference. These lines give Xue Kai a very natural feeling, with both the taste of Western Fantasy and the thick translation cavity removed.

Xue Kai manipulated Alsace and soon passed the first pass.

After all, there is a very deep RTS foundation. Xue Kai has no difficulty in playing these plots. He will pass the test easily soon.

After finishing the first pass, Xue Kai did not continue to play the next pass, but cut to the desktop and sent a message in the group.

Kaiser: "this game is really his blockhouse, second kill" Legion conquest "!!"
