Chapter 190 Trial play
Like Chen Mo did "The Legend of the Martial Arts" before, and Zen Interactive Entertainment made "The Sword and Questioning Love". The sales of this single-player game were only about 400,000 in the first month, which was completely drizzling.
Many people think that Chen Mo is more conservative and less enterprising in making such a game. Even if he can maintain the sales of this game at a pretty good level with his strong plot ability and reputation, it is absolutely impossible for him to become popular.
What's more, judging from the original paintings released by Chen Mo, this game is a bit too suspicious of being a bit off-the-scenes. How many players will like such a strong and weird style of the cult painting?
Once you can't control it, this game will drive away the majority of mainstream players.
Some people are looking forward to it.
Some people questioned.
Some people sarcastically.
...
Chen Mo was not affected at all. Anyway, he basically would not pay attention to these doubts. He only knew whether the game was good or not.
Before this, I made a forced prediction and there is a high probability that I would be slapped in the face.
The research and development progress of Diablo is also steadily advancing.
After the expansion of personnel, the R&D speed has been greatly accelerated.
In Chen Mo's previous life, the development of "Diablo 3" took a long time. If we calculate it from "Diablo 2" to "Diablo 3", we will be out of the ticket for 12 years.
Of course, there are many twists and turns here, and most of the time is not spent on R&D games, but on overturning and reworking.
Due to commercial mergers and acquisitions, the main creative team of Northern Blizzard's "Diablo 2" collectively resigned, and the development work of "Diablo 3" has also been put on hold for a long time.
The initial version that had been developed did not win the favor of the senior management, and the final result was a complete overthrow and rework, so "Dark 3" did not perfectly continue the spiritual connotation of "Dark 2".
For Chen Mo, he could completely avoid these detours he had taken and look at this game with a very mature perspective, so the research and development progress was greatly accelerated.
After Chen Mo gave the line draft, Zhou Hanyu completed the original paintings of a large number of monsters and characters, and handed them over to the outsourcing company to uniformly produce models and actions, and accepted in batches.
Several assistants use the Fantasy World Editor to process various scenes and levels, and adjust the combat process of the entire game.
CGs with a higher level than Warcraft are also being produced in full swing.
There are also numerical balance, prop design, detailed adjustments related to players' feelings, etc. The entire studio is running at full capacity. Under the leadership of Chen Mo, these people are twisted into a rope, and the R&D speed is greatly accelerated.
"Diablo" is more difficult than "Warcraft", but after expanding its manpower, the research and development progress is a little faster than "Warcraft". It took more than four months and the original game version has basically been completed.
The CG is not complete, and the numerical balance is not particularly perfect. There is no secret realm, ladder and expert mode, but it is already available to play.
...
Chen Mo came to the experience store and found an empty massage chair and lay down.
These days he has been accepting various art resources, skills, levels and other settings. He is a little busy and finally has some free time. He lies in the massage chair and rests for a while.
Zou Zhuo played Warcraft on the computer next to him.
"Thank you for your hard work in the store manager, how is the new game?" Zou Zhuo said, while handing Chen Mo a can of drink. "I felt itchy after I heard it was an RPG game. Unfortunately, Jinyu and Qian Kun moved there, and I can't see the progress of the game."
Chen Mo said: "It's already possible to play. You can wait a moment, I'll go and copy the trial version with the mobile hard drive."
Zou Zhuo said in surprise: "Is that so, you can play? That's great, your efficiency is really terrifying!"
Chen Mo returned to the studio next to him and copied the unfinished version of "Diablo" with his mobile hard drive, which was installed on Zou Zhuo's computer.
According to Chen Mo's estimate, it should be available in half a month. Now let Zou Zhuo play and experience the entire game process, and also collect the feedback from players.
It was installed soon, and Zou Zhuo was a little difficult to suppress his inner excitement. After all, he was the first player to try this game, so he was still very proud.
The players next to them also surrounded them.
"Damn it, can Diablo be played?"
"The store manager is really as productive as a sow. Hurry up and go into the game and take a look!"
"Awesome, watch."
"Shopkeeper, I want to play too!"
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just a trial version now, and there are still many questions. Please wait patiently. Next week, I will put it on the computer of the experience store for everyone to play casually, and it will be officially released next week."
Zou Zhuo double-clicked the icon on the desktop: "I don't care, I want to experience it first!"
Everyone else came over to watch Zou Zhuo try it out.
As expected, before entering the game, it is a CG.
The first thing that caught my eye was a piece of red ink with the logo of Thunder Games printed on it.
The lens slowly pushed upwards, and below the ink is a scroll of parchment with delicate material, full of texts of unknown significance.
Accompanied by a somewhat depressing melody, an old voice whispered.
"When the doomsday comes, the strange fire will break through the sky."
"Justice will fall in the world of mortals, and the war between light and darkness will spread to the eternal kingdom..."
Accompanied by this whisper like a prophecy, scrolls appeared on the parchment scrolls.
Crows appeared on the battlefield with spears, and a thunder exploded in the air, and a waterfall-like light poured down. The angel army in the sky descended from above and rushed towards the demon legion on the ground.
War scenes one after another, angels and demons were fighting fiercely on the battlefield. In the end, the earth cracked, and a huge demon appeared in the scroll, opened his bloody mouth and rushed over!
Lea suddenly woke up, with extreme fear in her eyes.
In the gloomy cathedral, the old Deka Kane is still watching ancient records at his desk.
"Based on these records, the demons of hell may have taken action, and we must warn the world as soon as possible!"
"You believe what I said, right, Leah? The doomsday is coming..."
At this moment, the cathedral suddenly began to shake violently, a thunder flashed by, and a terrifying strange fire suddenly appeared in the clouds in the sky, which was a meteorite.
The meteorite pierced the sky and fell towards the cathedral. The violent impact caused Leah to fall to the ground. When she stood up to search for Deka Kane's figure, she found that there was only a huge deep pit left from afar.
"uncle!!"
Amid Leah's scream, the entire CG ended, the game logo of "Diablo" appeared in the middle of the screen, and its English name also appeared together.
DIABLO!
Chapter completed!
