Hearing this, Pei Qian became even more excited.
"Teacher He, please tell me about this quickly, I want to hear it very much!"
He An was a little surprised: "Why, Mr. Ma is a senior RTS gamer "A hobbyist?"
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Well... almost."
From now on, the hobby can be considered as a senior, right?
Why do I like RTS games? Maybe because it helps me lose money?
He An thought for a while: "That's okay. RTS games are not on topic with today's course, so I'll just talk about them briefly."
"RTS games, too. Real-time strategy games have indeed been brilliant in the past and were once the mainstay of the e-sports industry. When it comes to RTS games, "Fantasy Battle" and "Star Ocean 2" cannot be avoided."
“Last year, “Star Ocean 2” was released and was a great success.”
“But this has not changed the industry’s disdain for the RTS game type, because it is more like a throwback to the past. . The success of this game will hardly change the decline of the entire game genre."
"In fact, this is indeed the case, except for a few established companies with well-known IPs. Apart from that, almost no one is willing to touch this game type.”
“Even the big companies don’t seem to be planning to invest too much money and energy in this game type.”
“The decline of this type of game is directly related to the rise of new game types.”
“RTS games have excessively high requirements for players’ operations, and most players cannot meet them. If you reach the lowest operating threshold, you will naturally not be able to enjoy the fun of the game."
"At the same time, it is difficult to blame teammates in the single-player game mode, and the frustration after losing is too strong. RTS games can become a very high-end and highly entertaining e-sports project, but it is difficult to continue to be a mass game because the threshold is too high."
"The future of mass games. The mainstream should be games like GOG, especially the interoperability between client games and mobile games, which gives it a unique advantage..."
Pei Qian's mouth twitched, why did he return to GOG? on the topic?
Hurry up and think of a way to change the topic.
"In short, at this point in time, if a manufacturer without IP accumulation makes an RTS game, it will be a dead end?"
He An nodded slightly: "Well, you can think so. ”
Pei Qian couldn’t help but feel happy.
I think so too!
Finally, I met Mr. He’s radio wave.
Pei Qian did consider the RTS game type before, but the reason why he didn’t do it at that time was because this type didn’t seem to be dead yet.
Although it has declined, there are still many old players who like this game type at that time.And the general purchasing power is amazing. If they are targeted, the consequences will be disastrous.
But more than a year has passed and the situation has changed!
The release of "Star Ocean 2" last year caused a wave of comeback for RTS games, almost sucking away the remaining RTS player base.
And GOG and ioi are fighting so fiercely that even "Divine Inspiration" can only tremble, let alone a new RTS game?
Well, just do this, it feels foolproof!
Unfortunately, it is too late in this cycle and we can only consider it in the next cycle.
He An sighed: "Hey, in fact, part of the reason why I decided to retire is that my vision can no longer keep up with the pace of game development in this era."
"Before I think that the game type "Shenqi" will only become a small and beautiful type at best, and no matter how mobile games develop, they will not have a strong impact on PC games."
"Looking at it now, It seems that they are all outdated ideas."
"So Mr. Ma, this is why I put this lesson in the second lesson. I hope you can always take a long-term view and find the right game. Every time I make a game, I catch the trend, and I can win by just lying down!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Teacher He, you gave a good lecture! Yeah, why are you cursing me?
……
10 p.m.
DGE E-Sports Club.
It’s time to turn off the lights, and all team members’ cell phones have been taken away to ensure adequate sleep.
Mingyun Villa is originally a group of villas far away from the downtown area. The light pollution outside is very weak. Even if the curtains are not drawn, only the faint moonlight and starlight can be seen.
This is the team member’s dormitory, a two-person room.
In the darkness, the figure slumped in the shape of "big" on the bed spoke.
"Old Zhou, could you please help me get the water glass? I'm thirsty."
Old Zhou, who was sleeping in the other bed, was obviously not asleep either: "Hey, what did you do before going to bed? Besides, why didn't you take it yourself?"
The paralyzed figure said feebly: "I can't move."
Old Zhou : "Huang Wang, you make it sound like I can move."
Huang Wang: "Don't pretend, Lao Zhou, you can definitely move. Please, if I die of thirst tomorrow, there will be a training match Immediate defeat, we have to practice more tonight!"
Old Zhou: "Call Dad"
Huang Wang: "Dad!"
Old Zhou: "...What the hell are you? This captain is so unruly that I won't let you down."
Lao Zhou had no choice but to stand up from the bed, walk to the table next to him in a weird posture, and take the He handed Huang Wang's water glass to the bedside.
Huang Wang: "Ah..."
Old Zhou's face darkened: "You are going to die!Drink it yourself. If you don’t drink it, I will just pour it on the ground! "
Huang Wang hurriedly sat up from the bed with difficulty: "I'll drink, I'll drink, give it to me. ”
Old Zhou lay back on the bed angrily.
Huang Wang drank two mouthfuls of water, pursed his lips and said, “Old Zhou, we can’t go on like this, we have to think about it.” A way. The guy named Jiang on the opposite team is definitely an old silver coin! ”
“We have been practicing for a week continuously. If we continue to lose like this, we will be ruined! ”
Lao Zhou was speechless: “Isn’t it because of your command as the captain?” Jiang Huan always comes up with tricks to hang us up and beat us. Compared with the opponent, our team is simply a mess! Especially you, you said that you play as a mid laner and your support is always slower than others, so why don't you just play ball! "
Huang Wang expressed dissatisfaction: "Fuck, isn't that because of the conjoined twins in the opposite center and jungle? In short, this is all about routines. We also have to think of new routines. Otherwise, if we lose the training game, we will practice more. Who the hell can withstand this! ”
“If you keep practicing, you can really transform into a fitness coach! ”
Lao Zhou chuckled: “It’s okay, before we change careers as fitness coaches, we can compete with real people from the opposite side. I can feel that my muscles have grown a lot.” "
Huang Wang: "In this way, we will also consider a few sets of tactics tomorrow. If the opponent does not play according to common sense, we can only play dirty. I finally figured it out, this game is all about tricks..."
Suddenly, the light outside the door came on, and the light shone through the crack in the door, and the two people quickly shut up.
Zhang Yuan stood at the door for two minutes before turning around and leaving.
During this period, the daily training of the DGE club was difficult to describe.
After President Pei made the training schedule. , Zhang Yuan was a little worried, but still strictly followed the schedule.
As expected, these Internet-addicted teenagers were exhausted in the morning. Jogging was arranged, but this group of people quickly changed from jogging to fast walking, then from fast walking to slow walking, and finally from slow walking to fast breathing in place
The evening was arranged. After the strength training that day, I didn’t feel anything. I just felt like my body was hollowed out. As a result, I fell asleep and almost couldn’t get out of bed the next day.
Fortunately, Coach Yaling was there. Professional, everyone's physical condition is always paid attention to during the training process, and nutritional supplements, warm-up before training, and stretching after training are all very professional, so it is not a big deal.
But even so, these are all very professional. People are still exhausted from training. In the first week of fitness, the quality of solo queue training and the effectiveness of training matches in the game plummeted. Each of the ten team members dropped one rank in high-tier solo queue.
< p>In the second week, things began to change subtly.The team members who were originally as thin as bamboo poles began to gain significant muscle mass, and the bloated team members became visibly thinner. As you gradually adapt to the amount of fitness exercise,Everyone's game status is also slowly recovering.
Then, one of the teams got the idea first.
Jiang Huan's team began to use all kinds of tricks in the training matches, winning seven consecutive games and smashing the heads of Huang Wang's team.
As for why you work so hard...
The reason is very simple. Those who lose must practice more!
If the loss looks good, the captain and the scapegoat in the team will practice together; if the loss looks ugly, the whole team will practice together.
After a few days of additional training, the captain Huang Wang almost ran out of energy to even get up and get a glass of water.
Because as the players' physical fitness improves and they gradually adapt, coach Yaling has been increasing the amount of training for them.
Zhang Yuan originally sympathized with these team members, but after observing them for a period of time, he found that it seemed to have some effect!
He heard before that in some clubs, the first and second teams practiced against each other. There were no punitive measures at first, and then everyone started doing all kinds of things, and no one took winning or losing seriously; later on The team leader decided that each person of the losing team would give 100 yuan to buy cigarettes and snacks for the winning team. As a result, both parties immediately became serious.
The punishment measure of additional practice seems to be even more effective than this.
Both teams are racking their brains to study tactics and think of new routines, and they are playing more and more seriously. New gameplay methods discovered in various ladders can be used in training matches on the same day.
Moreover, the customized exercises specially arranged after the morning run also had an effect.
At the beginning, the team members were at a loss. There was no one to compete with them in customization. What was there to practice?
But there is nothing else I can do during this time. I can only practice the basic skills of some heroes repeatedly in customization and study the hero mechanism.
After working hard to perfect the operations of the familiar heroes, you can only continue to study the heroes you are not familiar with.
Then it’s time to study the soldier lines, wild monsters, and various deeper game mechanics in the game. The more I study, the more data I keep in mind.
After all, for two hours, just practicing muscle memory is too boring, and you will have to think about the game mechanics more or less.
Obviously, Huang Wang’s team’s performance in training matches has been getting better and better recently, and they are also studying various tactics desperately. Maybe they will win a victory soon. Get back the ground.
When Jiang Huan and the others practice one more time, they will study new tactics, chasing after each other, and forming a permanent movement.
GOG is an emerging game after all. Those who understand the game the most are these high-level players. Let them think about tactics. They may not necessarily be better than coaches who have transferred from other sports. Difference.
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, could it be that Mr. Pei's training plan was really well thought out?
It has been tried for a while and the effect is good!
