Chapter 194: Dota Map Development

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

What's more, when Chen Ping was reborn, he experienced a memory reappearance, and Chen Ping also has a fresh memory of many details in this game.

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 funds and time needed to be invested still need to wait for the real plan of the game to be written before an estimated number can be obtained.

However, regarding the specific content of this game, the balance of the game, etc., Chen Ping has repeatedly emphasized that the most striking thing about the game Dota is its balance and gameplay.

This kind of real-time competitive game, once it loses its balance, the market prospect will be greatly reduced, which is not what Chen Ping wants to see.

He didn't want one of the most classic games in his previous life to be ruined by his own hands.

So for this game, Chen Ping simply keeps improving.

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

This also makes them more convinced that Chen Ping can put so much energy into this game, and he definitely has sufficient confidence in this game.

Even, this game is likely to surpass what "Run Kart" has achieved so far.

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

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

Especially the map making tools in this game, everyone needs to be familiar with it for a period of time, and just taking advantage of 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, maybe about half a month.

For the next half month, Chen Ping would spend most of his time in Coslight Technology. The crazy energy with which he worked, even Xue Mingtao, a workaholic, was startled by it.

They also have to admit that

Chen Ping was able to achieve what he has achieved now, and what he has paid is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

Just because of the energy of this kind of work, even Xue Mingtao himself is a little ashamed.

After half a month, the employees of the game development department were also able to skillfully use the map making tool of the game "Warcraft".

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

The work after that can only be completed by the cooperation of several 10 employees of the game development department of Coslight Technology.

Chen Ping also had no way to intervene too much. However, for this game, Chen Ping devoted too much effort and strived for excellence.

Therefore, in the actual development process of this game, Chen Ping still needs to follow up the whole process. Whenever there are any minor differences, Chen Ping needs to bring them up at any time.

The employees of the game development department must also cooperate with Chen Ping to develop the game map. But even so, the entire Dota map development market is only about a month old.

Seeing that this Dota map, which was 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 achievement was unparalleled.

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

Interest in this game is also growing.

It has to be said that this 5V5 real-time competitive game can indeed attract people's hearts. It is even more exciting than racing games like "Running Kart"!

After the demo of the game was made, many employees of the game development department of Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. could not hold back their curiosity and started testing with the game demo.

Saying it's a test is actually just wanting to experience the thrill of this 5V5 real-time competitive game.

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

He is very clear that this 5V5 real-time competitive game is extremely addictive to 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 demo of the game now.

The whole game has not been completely perfected, and everyone still feels a little unfinished when playing the game.

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

There are even many employees who have started to stay in the company to work overtime spontaneously. Some people have not returned home for several days or even a week. The food and lodging are all in the company, and they are all 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, it can be officially launched.

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 can never be sorry for this game, so no matter any detail, Chen Ping strives for perfection and never tolerates the slightest sloppiness.

The number of times the entire game was tested was as many as 10 times, and the test period alone lasted for about half a month.

It wasn't until mid-February that the game's development came to a close.

After the game was developed, although it has not been promoted to the outside world, most of the hundreds of employees of Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. are already addicted to the game, and even many young employees are obsessed with playing it.

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

And such a scene completely exceeded the expectations of Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao. They didn't expect that just such a game map could produce such an effect.

They really admire Chen Ping's brain.

They simply don't understand how Chen Ping came up with such an absolutely classic game.

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

Without Chen Ping's presidency, if it was simply developed by the game development department of Coslight Technology, there would be no way to complete the development in two or three years.

Unless the size of the game development department of Coslight Technology Company is expanded several times, or there is a person who has a general concept of this game to give pointers, otherwise, the difficulty of developing this game will definitely be greatly improved.

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

From the unknown at the beginning to the more perfect later, the time experienced before and after is not a short-term number.

Among them, there is no way to make an accurate statistics on the manpower and material resources invested.

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

If it is placed in the 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 were faced with a very serious problem.

The classic level of this game is absolutely unquestionable, which has also been recognized by everyone from top to bottom in the entire Coslight Technology Company.

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

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

In order to carry out large-scale promotion, Coslight Technology must contact Blizzard and obtain authorization from Blizzard before it can carry out large-scale promotion.

This is not an easy task. Even though Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. is already well-known in China, even in the domestic game market, Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. has not reached the level of the top online game company.

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

Although these two games have achieved a lot of sensational effects, the games under the name of Coslight Technology are still too few, far less than the scale of these online game companies such as Shanda.

Therefore, although the current Coslight Technology Company has a lot of reputation in the game circle, there is no way to be included in the top game companies in China.

If you put it in the world, it is even more different.

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

Although Blizzard has many critics, it is not comparable to ordinary companies in game development.

It can even be said that Blizzard Games is an era ahead of the world's gaming circles in certain game development aspects, and is definitely one of the top online game companies in the world.

There are too many levels between Coslight Technology and Blizzard Games, and it is not so easy to get cooperation with Blizzard Games.

This is not something that can be done in a short time.

In this situation, Chen Ping had already anticipated it before, so when the Dota map was officially developed, Chen Ping had asked Xu Weihua to try to contact Blizzard, and wanted to obtain the promotion rights of the Dota map. .

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

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