Chapter 194： Dota map development

Chen Ping has played this game countless times, and he knows the many heroes involved in this game.

What's more, when Chen Ping was reborn, he experienced a memory reappearance. For many details in this game, Chen Ping is still fresh in his memory.

As long as Chen Ping can participate in the development process of this game map, the development cost and time required will be reduced by more than 10 times.

However, the specific capital and time required to be invested must wait for the game's real planning plan to be written before an estimated figure can be drawn.

However, for the specific content of this game, and the balance of the game, Chen Ping repeatedly emphasized that the most eye-catching aspect of Dota is its balance and gameplay.

Once this kind of real-time competitive confrontation game loses its balance, the market prospects will be greatly reduced. This is not the scene Chen Ping hopes to see.

He doesn't want the most classic game of his previous life to be destroyed in his own hands.

So for this game, Chen Ping simply keeps improving.

That kind of serious attitude was something Xu Mingtao and others had never seen before when they developed the two games "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Running Kart".

This also makes them even more convinced that Chen Ping and his people can put such a lot of energy into this game.

Even, this game is likely to surpass the achievements of "Running Kart" now.

Whenever they think of this, Xu Weihua, Xue Mingtao and others are also a little excited.

Since Dota Map has officially become the third game to be developed by Coslight Technology, the dozens of employees in the game development department also need to have a certain understanding of the game "Warcraft".

Especially for the map making tools in this game, everyone needs to be familiar with it for a while, and during this time, Xue Mingtao and Chen Ping can also draw up a draft of the initial planning and design plans of the game.

With Chen Ping's help, it probably didn't take too long, probably only about half a month.

In the next half month, Chen Ping will spend most of the time in Coslight Technology. The crazy energy he got at work made even Xue Mingtao, a workaholic, look at it.

They also had to admit that Chen Ping was able to achieve his current achievements, and his efforts were indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

Even Xue Mingtao himself is a bit ashamed of this kind of work energy alone.

After half a month, the staff of the game development department can also use the map making tools of the game "Warcraft" proficiently.

The dozens of heroes involved in the Dota map, their respective skills, hero models, etc., have also been listed by Chen Ping in a draft design.

The rest of the work can only be completed by the cooperation of a few dozen employees in the game development department of Coslight Technology.

Chen Ping also couldn't intervene too much. But for this game, Chen Ping has devoted too much effort to strive for excellence.

Therefore, during the actual development of this game, Chen Ping still needs to follow up the whole process. Chen Ping needs to bring up any differences in minor details.

The staff of the game development department must also cooperate with Chen Ping to develop this game map. But even so, the development market for the entire Dota map is only about one month away.

Seeing this Dota map, known as "one of the most classic games in game history" in the previous life, was developed little by little, Chen Ping's sense of accomplishment was unparalleled.

In the process of game development, these employees in the game development department have a deeper and deeper understanding of this game.

Interest in this game is also growing.

I have to say that this 5V5 real-time competitive game is indeed attractive. Even more than a racing game like "Running Kart", it can make people feel more excited!

After the game samples were produced, many employees of the game development department of Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. could not restrain their curiosity and started testing with the game samples.

Said it is a test, in fact, I want to experience the thrill of this 5V5 real-time competitive game.

Chen Ping, who had experienced the previous life, smiled slightly in his heart after seeing such a scene.

He knows very well that this kind of 5V5 real-time competitive game is extremely addictive for many people.

Once you get started, if you don't play a few games a day, you will feel a sense of loss. What's more, it's just a game demo now.

The whole game has not been completely perfected yet, and when everyone is playing the game, there is still a sense of unfulfilled feeling.

Therefore, the employees of the game development department are investing more and more energy in the development of this game.

Even many employees have started to stay in the company and work overtime spontaneously. Some people have not even returned home for a few days or even a week. They eat and live in the company, all of them are just like savages.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Ping felt a little relieved, but in the end he had to stop it.

If this continues, the employees of these game development departments are likely to be dragged down.

Fortunately, the development time of this game is not too long. After just one month, the basic model of this game has been completely built.

Only need to make some minor changes, and the final test of the game, you can officially go online.

The number of tests the Dota Map has undergone is even more stringent than the original "Running Kart".

For this game, Chen Ping has high hopes.

This is one of the most classic games in Chen Ping's memory!

Since it was developed from his own hands, Chen Ping absolutely cannot afford to be sorry for this game. Therefore, no matter how little it is, Chen Ping always strives for perfection and never allows the slightest carelessness.

The number of tests for the entire game is as high as 10 times, and the period of testing alone has been as long as half a month.

Until mid-February, the development of this game was completely nearing completion.

After the game was developed, although it has not been promoted to the outside world, most of the hundreds of employees of Coslight Technology have become addicted to the game, and even girls who are not even young employees just forget about it.

It can also be seen from this that the prospect of this game is almost unimaginable, and it is far from even comparable to the game "Kart Racing".

And such a scene completely exceeded Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao's expectations. They also did not expect that just such a game map could produce such an effect.

They really admire Chen Ping's mind.

They simply couldn't understand how Chen Ping could come up with such an absolutely classic game.

The various aspects involved in this game, as well as the balance of the entire game, were almost completed under the auspices of Chen Ping Yili.

If there is no Chen Ping's presidency, and the development is simply carried out by the game development department of Coslight Technology, I am afraid that there will be no way to complete the development without two or three years.

Unless the size of the game development department of Coslight Technology is expanded several times, or someone who has a general idea of ​​this game can give pointers, otherwise, the difficulty of developing this game will definitely increase.

Chen Ping also agrees with this understanding. You know, although Dota Map is just a game map, in the past life, its development process also experienced many twists and turns.

From the beginning of the unknown, to the more complete later, the time experienced before and after is not a short number.

Among them, the manpower and material resources invested have even been unable to make an accurate statistics.

Now Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. can completely develop this game in just one and a half months.

If it is placed in a previous life, it will definitely shock the jaws of countless people. It is precisely because of this that Chen Ping's psychology is full of endless pride.

However, at the end of game development, Chen Ping and even the entire Coslight Technology Company faced a very serious problem.

The classic level of this game is absolutely beyond doubt, and this is also recognized by everyone from top to bottom of the Coslight Technology Company.

The problem is that this game is just a game map after all, and its root is still in the game "Warcraft".

So the promotion process of this game map is a huge problem.

For large-scale promotion, Coslight Technology must contact Blizzard and obtain Blizzard’s authorization to be able to carry out large-scale promotion.

This is not an easy task, regardless of the fact that Coslight Technology is already well-known in China, but even in the domestic game market, Coslight Technology has not reached the level of the top online game company.

After all, before this, Coslight Technology only had only one stand-alone game and one online game.

Although these two games have achieved a sensational effect, the games under the name of Coslight Technology are still too few, far inferior to the huge online game companies of Shanda.

So the current Coslight Technology Company, although it has a lot of reputation in the game circle, has no way to be included in the top domestic game companies.

If it were put in the world, it would be a far cry.

And Blizzard, among the game companies in the entire world, is second to none.

Although Blizzard has a lot of criticisms , in terms of game development, it is not comparable to ordinary companies.

It can even be said that Blizzard Games is one of the world’s top online game companies in certain aspects of game development.

The level difference between Coslight Technology and Blizzard Games is too much. It is not easy to get cooperation with Blizzard Games.

This cannot be done in a short time.

Chen Ping had already anticipated this situation before, so when Dota Map officially began development, Chen Ping had asked Xu Weihua to try to contact Blizzard, in order to obtain the right to promote Dota Map. .

This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Within a month and a half, Xu Weihua has just started contacting the person in charge of Blizzard.

The two parties are still in the process of negotiating, and the other party doesn't seem to care much about an ordinary game map. After all, this game map cannot be sent directly to Blizzard Games.
