Chapter 807 "The Elf World"
After the Spring Festival holiday, daily work also returned to normal.
Many young people who returned to the imperial capital from their hometowns brought back the matrix glasses that arrived during the Spring Festival, not only at the parties, but also some people brought them to their own companies.
During the Spring Festival, only relatives and friends in their hometown can share matrix glasses, but now, this range is expanded to colleagues and friends at workplaces.
The popularity of matrix glasses is still increasing. More and more people are unable to resist the temptation and want to buy it for fun by themselves under the repeated recommendations of relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates and others.
This brand new smart device is gradually changing people's lives subtly and expanding at an extremely fast speed.
...
Chen Mo has also prepared a new year's R&D plan, and the first game is the exclusive MR game for matrix glasses.
This is an MR game based on Chen Mo’s classic game in his previous life and has added a lot of magical modifications: "Elf World", with the English name "pokemonorld".
As for why you choose this game?
Because the essence of the ar and mr games is: going out, which is the "go" emphasized in "pokemongo".
Unlike VR, MR games pay more attention to the "combination of virtual and real", connecting an entire area through the game, allowing players to intersect in reality.
Although Chen Mo launched the games "Three Kingdoms Kill" and "Jump" for Matrix Glasses, their main purpose is to show players the characteristics of the combination of MR virtual and real, and it is more of a show-off.
For example, in "Three Kingdoms Kill", the MR version of "Three Kingdoms Kill" is its biggest highlight compared to card and PC games. But what if it is compared with VR games?
Suppose that a VR version of "Three Kingdoms Kill" is released now, which can be ten times more cool than the MR version of "Three Kingdoms Kill". After all, the performance of the game cabin is there.
The mr version of "Three Kingdoms Kill" focuses on "face killing". If it is "online killing", then there is really no advantage in doing mr.
Therefore, Chen Mo chose to do "Three Kingdoms Kill" and hoped that players would go to the face to kill and not match people online. "Three Kingdoms Kill" supports free combinations of 2 to 8 people, and the rules are relatively simple and easy to use, which can be said to be very suitable for MR games.
However, although chess, Go and other chess and card types can also be used to make mr games, the effect is not as good as "Three Kingdoms Kill".
Because most of this kind of chess fights one-on-one, and the competitive and professionalism are much stronger than "Three Kingdoms Kill". If four or five friends play together, they will not be able to enter the same game. They can only split up and fight in pairs. If the total number of players is odd, the extra classmate will be very embarrassed; and the level gap between players is too large, which may also make the game lose fun.
At this time, the online version can match opponents based on points, which can better ensure the players' gaming experience.
Therefore, although similar chess and card games are also good, it is difficult to achieve "combination of virtual and real", at most, just use a table in reality. Most one-to-one chess and card games are difficult to quickly spread viral.
So, Chen Mo finally finalized "Elf World".
In terms of subject matter, "Elf World" will not copy "pokemongo", but will add more elves/pet types.
In Chen Mo's previous life, the success of "Pokemongo" benefited from years of IP accumulation, from animation to generations of console games, a large number of players have accumulated for this series. Therefore, when "Pokemongo" was first launched, many fans were moved to tears.
But in the parallel world, players do not have this kind of sentiment. Even if they see a Pikachu or Super Meng, they will not understand how precious this thing is.
It’s not impossible to make anime to hype IP. The problem is that it’s too long and Chen Mo can’t wait at all. The competition among smart glasses is so fierce. Can a set of animation be popular all over the world immediately after publishing it? It’s not particularly realistic.
What's more, Chen Mo now has a lot of IPs, so there is no need to be obsessed with the content in "pokemongo".
At least there are several popular or once popular IPs that can be used for "World of the Elf" now:
"Plant vs. Zombies", "Onmyoji", "Diablo", "League of Legends", "Overwatch", "Super Mario", "Dark Souls", all of these games have a large amount of "elves" materials available, such as Pea Shooter Baby, Big Pineapple Baby, Timo Baby, Mini Fortress, Kuba Baby, Sewer Fire King Baby, etc.
What's more, Chen Mo and the entire Azeroth world. You should know that "World of Warcraft" also has small pet fighting gameplay, and all the strange things can be brought here.
Even games like "flappybird", "Minecraft", and "PUBG" can also produce linked elves, such as Pixel Bird, Square Man Baby Steve, Pan Baby, etc.
"The Doomsday of America" comes with a soundtrack baby? Isn't it beautiful to read the painting?
Of course, if all these contents are added together, the number of the entire elves library is probably going to explode, but the same sentence is still the case, and there is material...
Except for all the elves in "pokemongo", all other materials are ready-made and can be used after modification. Moreover, the first version does not require the inventory of the entire "Elf World" to a large extent, and new elves will be released one after another.
If the IP is not enough, then use more IPs to make up and connect with all the games on the Thunder Game Platform, so you won’t have to worry about not having any popularity.
In terms of gameplay, "pokemongo" is still the main gameplay, but some other A-games such as "ingress" will also be added.
In other words, the core gameplay of "Elf World" is: elves/pet collection, elves/pet cultivation, elves/pet battles, gym battles, etc.
This is also the core competitiveness of "Elf World" to become a super popular MR game: a large number of top IPs are piled up, full interaction with the real world, and maximum coverage of all people using smart glasses.
Even other game dealers want to copy "Elf World" because there are not so many IPs at all. Moreover, without major innovation in gameplay, the subsequent games cannot surpass the first-mover advantage of "Elf World".
...
After the creativity is roughly decided, there are some specific details.
The design concept draft is not difficult to write, because the gameplay of "Elf World" is very mature, and the issues that need to be confused mainly lie in two aspects.
The first is to unify the style of painting, consider the performance of combat effects, and provide players with the best MR visual effects as much as possible.
