Chapter 308 There is only one Lin Yao
"A mod similar to Heroes?"
Lin Yao was immediately interested when she heard Mu Wanqing's words.
She was actually prepared for the birth of a MOBA game in Warcraft.
After all, that's how she played Dota in her previous life.
And the players here also look very powerful. After the Warcraft editor came out, various creative workshops based on Warcraft continued to emerge like mushrooms after rain.
Now the creative workshop has become the biggest selling point of Warcraft and even the entire Vaporwave game platform.
Moreover,
now that Heroes has been launched,
almost every player can see that this game is actually derived from Warcraft, but it simplifies the complex organizational units such as buildings, resources, and training arms in RTS, so that players only need to control the characters they choose, that is, heroes, to fight.
This can also be done with the editor and Warcraft.
At this time, someone has an idea.
It's normal.
However,
Lin Yao is not sure how far the players can go at present.
After all, the Dota in Lin Yao's previous life was not created overnight, and it did not become the classic that everyone knows as soon as it was released.
The Dota map has gone through several authors.
From Elus at the beginning, to Guinsoo who took over briefly, and finally IceFrog, the most familiar IceFrog, the current leader of the Dota2 development team.
"Yes."
Mu Wanqing heard Lin Yao's question, gently pushed the glasses on her nose, then walked forward a few steps, came to Lin Yao, put one hand on her shoulder, held the mouse with the other hand, and opened the Vaporwave game platform on her computer.
Then she found the map made with the Warcraft editor.
The map is called "Lone Hero".
You can tell from the name.
It should be a map made by a Chinese.
But because it is not a professional maker.
In the creative workshop, the map details page does not have much introduction. The author just said something like a feeling-'I played "Hero" for a few days, and I feel a little itchy. I imitated the map made by Hero. It's purely for entertainment. If you have any questions, you can give feedback, but it may not be changed. '
It seems that if you want to know what this map is like, you can only download it and play it.
"I know."
Lin Yao took the mouse from Mu Wanqing and said with interest: "I'll download it and play it. Miss Mu, you accompany my sister to visit Linmu Studio."
"..."
Mu Wanqing was slightly startled, and looked at Lin Xi, who was wearing the same professional suit as herself. After about a few seconds, she nodded gently and said: "I know."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Lin Yao pulled over the keyboard and started downloading maps and reading players' comments.
On the other side.
Mu Wanqing began to take Lin Xi around Linmu Studio.
However, because the height and appearance of the two sisters Lin Yao and Lin Xi are indeed similar,
this caused Lin Xi to go wherever she went.
There were staff members turning back...
They looked surprised, even incredible. How come the boss turned into a queen
after going out ! ? Lin Xi also noticed the gazes, and faced with the strange gazes that frequently looked at her, she asked curiously: "Why are they all looking at me? Is it like this normally?" Mu Wanqing walked beside Lin Xi and also noticed this situation. She guessed something and explained, "It's not like this normally, but maybe you look too much like Lin Yao, and since I haven't seen you before, I thought you were Lin Yao in a different outfit..." "Lin Yao in a different outfit..." Lin Xi was slightly startled when she heard this, and then she remembered that she had asked Lin Yao to change clothes in the fitting room not long ago, and she couldn't help laughing . Mu Wanqing found that more and more staff members looked confused, and even quietly began to ask about their colleagues next door, and she couldn't help but smile. Because of this , she was a little more relaxed. Although this was not the first time she and Lin Xi had communicated, Mu Wanqing had done a lot of handover work between Linmu Studio and Linmu Financial Holdings before. But this was the first time the two met offline. Previously, Mu Wanqing and Lin Xi had communicated by phone, and even if they met, it was the first time they met Pei Yingyun... It was inevitable that they would be reserved. "Are you feeling better?" Lin Xi suddenly asked, looking at Mu Wanqing who was smiling with her lips pursed. Mu Wanqing turned her head, looked at Lin Xi with a little surprise, and then nodded slightly. "Actually, there's no need to do that. I'm just here to visit..." Lin Xi walked forward and whispered, "But, could you please tell me about Lin Yao's usual situation? I'm actually very curious about her usual working conditions. Although I'm her sister, I'm sure I don't know as much as you do." "Lin Yao..." Mu Wanqing heard Lin Xi's question and softly repeated Lin Yao's name. Then she couldn't help but chuckled and began to tell Lin Xi about Lin Yao's usual conditions. The two talked as they walked. They found a common topic. The remaining slight restraint disappeared... On the other side of the office. Lin Yao sat in her seat, downloaded the map, then went into the game to take a look and played for a while.
Sure enough.
It looks very much like "Hero".
Or to be more precise.
It looks like a MOBA game.
Although it is not the dota or Chenghai 3C that Lin Yao is familiar with.
The heroes, equipment and mechanism of this map are simple.
It is very entertaining. Although it is very interesting and you can see that the author has a lot of ideas, there is basically no balance.
However, the facts have proved that
someone is indeed trying to use the foundation of Warcraft to make a MOBA map.
Lin Yao played a whole game with curiosity.
Then he quit the game and fell into deep thought.
There is actually nothing much to say about this game. The author himself said that it imitated the entertainment map of "Hero".
It is probably because of only one person.
The game map is not perfect.
Lin Yao is not thinking about this "Lone Hero" map, but wondering if Linmu Studio needs to go down and make a map for "Warcraft"...
No joke.
Although there is a suspicion of stealing business from "Hero".
But players who have really played both League of Legends and dota know that the difference between these two games is still very huge.
The audience is also very different.
Lin Yao also felt that since Heroes was so popular, it would be only a matter of time before someone in the same industry would make a similar game. Maybe someone would really make Dota in order to differentiate themselves.
If others did it, it would be better to make it yourself...
differentiate yourself...
of course.
This idea was just a flash of thought.
Lin Yao just thought about it...
because she felt that it was too greedy.
Now The Witch is still under intense production, and the Warcraft production team is also making a new DLC, so they don't have time for the time being.
"Forget it..."
"Lin Yao!"
Lin Yao shook her head lightly and just gave up the idea.
Zhong Xiu appeared in her sight and asked excitedly from a distance: "Did you see it? The map in the Warcraft workshop?"
"I saw it, what's wrong?" Lin Yao raised her head.
"Uh... what else?"
Zhong Xiu looked at the calm Lin Yao and said anxiously: "No, this will have an impact on "Hero". Although the probability is very small now... but there is still a possibility. Can we impose some restrictions on the creative workshop..."
"Restrictions?"
Lin Yao laughed: "That would be a slap in the face. The purpose of releasing an editor is to let players play freely, but now we have to impose restrictions and not allow players to make content similar to "Hero"? What kind of creative workshop is it? It's better to call it a private workshop."
Zhong Xiu stared: "Isn't excluding dissidents an important means for business overlords to dominate?"
Lin Yao was silent for a moment and asked: "Which success book did you read it from?"
"...How do you know!?"
Zhong Xiu was shocked.
"Don't read those success books!"
Lin Yao was angry and amused.
She knew several veterans of Linmu Studio. They were all pure technicians.
Zhong Xiu still tinkered with the matter of porting the black software to mobile phones in his spare time.
Zhu Nianqiao's favorite thing to do is to check other people's code and spontaneously prevent shit...
They really don't have any talent in business.
"The workshop is the signature of the Vaporwave gaming platform. We can't use it to exclude dissidents. If we really do this, players will immediately criticize us and the community will lose its vitality. Apart from the red lines of politics and pornography, the workshop that allows players to play freely is the most attractive workshop. It doesn't make sense to not allow us to make games we have made."
Lin Yao shook her head and explained: "In addition, this can also be regarded as a contribution to the domestic game industry. If these players who make content in the workshop can enter the game circle one day, it will be a good thing, right? As for the commercial overlord... wouldn't it be more fulfilling for us to defeat everyone and stand on the top?
Besides... if it really doesn't work, if we really meet a very good producer, we can also recruit him. It's not a big deal. Players who can use the workshop and the World of Warcraft editor are at least half fans of Linmu Studio, right?"
"..."
Zhong Xiu widened his eyes and was shocked: "This, you still know how to play..."
"What do you mean you know how to play? I'm just stating the facts."
"So are we going to recruit this creator now?"
Zhong Xiu looked at the creative workshop interface on Lin Yao's screen.
"No."
Lin Yao shook her head gently: "It's not mature yet. Although this author has a lot of ideas and knows how to use the background story and heroes of Warcraft to differentiate from Heroes, his understanding of the values of hero equipment and game mechanics is still too immature. There is no need for it yet. Let's just make Heroes." "
...Okay, I understand."
Zhong Xiu recalled the feeling of the "Lone Hero" map he just played, and nodded slowly.
Compared with Heroes.
It's really not good enough...
Thinking of this.
Zhong Xiu looked up at Lin Yao and admired her even more...
To be honest.
For games like Heroes, the most important thing is value and balance.
Generally speaking, when a game like this is first launched, there will be more or less serious value and balance problems.
Because there are too many heroes, and there are also equipment and other elements, there are too many points to consider.
If you are not careful, it may be unbalanced.
But "Heroes" is very mature.
Although there are strong heroes, there is no big problem overall... and this is all because of the foundation laid by Lin Yao in the early stage.
I can only say... If the author of the map "Lone Hero" is Lin Yao.
Linmu Studio probably won't be so calm now.
But unfortunately, there is only one Lin Yao in the game circle.
