Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Drogo took off his mask and stretched his neck.

The current test machine is not adapted to the head shapes of different races. It can be worn just as it should be, and is basically not comfortable at all.

However, the effect after entering the consciousness space is still good.

The skills of the real gods are indeed effective, far superior to the unorthodox methods of the soul raisers.

I glanced at the huge "Victory" sign on the broadcast screen.

Although this victory was a well-controlled defeat, I am still very happy.

"unfair!"

On the other side, Barn took off his mask and shouted in dissatisfaction.

Until the end of the game, he didn't get a single kill and finished his first game of Satyr Crucible with an astonishing record of 0-16.

As a mid laner, he achieved such a result. Fortunately, this was a trial game where winning or losing was not so important. If it was a ranked game, it would have been difficult for him to protect his parents.

But this can't be blamed on him, as it was his first time playing this game and he was up against an enemy with superior horses, and the hero he used was also of high difficulty.

Satyrforge is one of those standard heroes that seems easy to pick up but is actually quite difficult to play.

So much so that in Barn's opinion, this hero is simply too weak. "How could you make the great dwarf of the Crucible Clan so weak!"

Barn was so anxious that he pulled his beard. "And your Minotaur is too strong. How can there be a hero who has such high damage and is even very flexible while having all the control? Can you design a balance for him? If not, let me do it!"

It is almost impossible to make him admit that he is bad and Drogo is strong, so he can only blame it on the hero's strength.

The hero guarding the ruins has a very magical characteristic.

If you just look at the skills, you'd have the illusion that "Isn't this hero invincible?"

However, when you actually play it, you will find that it is completely different from what you imagined.

There will always be various means of restraint.

and “If everyone is a supermodel, then there is no supermodel.”

"No wonder you came up and tried to grab the Minotaur first. If I were to play the Minotaur, I would be invincible too! Come on, let's start another game. I want to play the Minotaur in this game." Barn really wanted to play another game.

The same situation occurred for other players who participated in the trial.

Whether the winner or the loser, there is something unsatisfactory about it.

Thinking back to my previous operation, I wondered if the situation would have been completely different if I had done something different at that time.

Drogo didn't mind beating Barn up with both hands, to let him see the true strength of Satyr Forge.

And appreciate the funny way Barn, playing as the Minotaur, got himself stuck in the terrain when he released the gully.

Drogo was sure that scene would happen more than once.

But the main purpose of this trial is to see the acceptance of people who are experiencing this game for the first time, so we want to allow as many new players as possible to try it out.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. When it's officially launched, you can challenge me with any hero you want. As for now, let's give the opportunity to the other friends present. They have been watching for a long time."

Zhuo Ge said: "If you want to participate in the next trial game, go to the staff over there and line up. We should be able to play four or five games in the remaining time today. Don't be too disappointed if you don't get a chance. The internal beta version will be released soon. When the time comes, just pay attention to the internal beta quota reservation."

Before he could finish speaking, a long line formed at the staff counter.

More welcome than Drogo could have imagined.

He originally thought that these guests, who were not considered long-lived and whose average age was in their thirties or even forties, would not be that interested in new game formats that they had never seen before.

I should have brought more masks.

Although the virtual mask test machine was not used much, there were still some machines that opened two games at the same time.

Players who participated in the first trial game took off their masks reluctantly and left their seats.

Their specific feelings about the game vary, but they are all positive.

Asmodeus stretched himself, no longer thinking about hell.

The time he spends in the main plane is actually longer than the time he spends in the hell plane.

There are so many more interesting things here than in the hell where he has been stationed for hundreds of years.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer felt a little tired. He was immersed in his consciousness and participating in a high-intensity battle. At least he thought it was a high-intensity battle. For an old man like him, the mental exhaustion was quite great.

But if he was asked to play another game, he would not refuse.

This game really has the potential to establish a league with a very wide audience, just as Drogo said.

By then, how many new jobs and taxes will be created around this league?

The one who has more confidence in this game is naturally Grace.

She has decided to bet on the Ruins Guardians, and the Twin Towers City Virtual Competitive Club is ready to transform at any time and focus on this.

And began to think about how to apply for as many internal testing qualifications as possible from Drogo to ensure the first-mover advantage of the Twin Towers City Club.

Grace, who already has considerable experience in running clubs, has her own methodology.

The club should snowball. The earlier the results are achieved, the greater the advantage will be.

The competitive pressure is not that great at the beginning of the competition, and it is relatively easy to achieve results. With achievements and fame, you can attract more talented young people as reserve players with your fame.

There was no formal concept of youth training in this era, it was just Grace’s foresight.

With enough reserve players, it will be easier to achieve results, forming a virtuous circle and eventually developing into a generation of top players.

Compared to these people who have a lot of ideas, Elsa is much simpler.

She is taking credit.

"Ha! Did I do a great job this time? If I hadn't sold well in the last wave, they wouldn't have gone to fight the epic monsters, and you wouldn't have had the opportunity to go berserk. So you should thank me very much. Sigh, it's not easy to play games with the boss..."

She spoke as if she was the one who won the game.

"I think that selling well means being able to successfully seduce someone and then run away, rather than being caught and killed effortlessly and having to watch the show in the fountain during the crucial group."

Drogo mercilessly exposed Elsa's boasting.

"In this game, if there is someone who is most like a boss, it can only be you."

Elsa, the "boss" who can only make money but hasn't earned it yet, and her four powerful "playmates".

After the teasing, Drogo ignored Elsa who was performing the "Beat the Air Drogo" move, and instead found Figgin who was standing nearby.

"I didn't expect the Prime Minister to join in the fun. How about it? Is it interesting? Is it worth promoting?"

"It's really good." Figxin couldn't deny it.

"Hey, do you want to try it? I can give the distinguished Prime Minister a favor and give you a plug."

"Uh, no need. I don't really like playing games."

Drogo looked at Figithin, who was talking nonsense in a serious tone.

"You're not worried about being an idol, and you're afraid that if you try it out, your skills will be too bad and you'll be embarrassed in front of so many people, so why don't you just give it a try?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Figesin taking a deep breath.

She had made progress. Facing Drogo's verbal abuse, she was able to adjust herself simply by taking deep breaths, and her expression didn't change much.

"Ahem, how long will it take for this guarding relic to be officially tested?" Figesin chose to change the subject.

"Um……"

Drogo calculated.

"If everything goes well, it may take a month or two. I plan to start testing when there are about 20 heroes, and then open beta when there are more than 30 heroes. More heroes can be released slowly in the future. If too many heroes are released at once, the learning cost for players will be too high."

Of course, when there are only 30 or 40 heroes, the ban slots will not be opened, or only three will be opened, otherwise it will be too easy to ban all playable heroes. "As for testing, it should take a month or two. In addition to correcting errors, there is also a lot of numerical balance work to be done."

For MOBA, or DOTA-like games, balancing is always a very difficult task.

It is normal for monster heroes or completely useless heroes to appear if the designers alone design them.

Fortunately, guarding the ruins emphasizes mechanism strength more than numerical strength.

Although this design choice will increase the probability of super-mechanism monsters appearing, the advantage is that more mid-level heroes can be chosen to appear on the field.

And it is not the case that a slight change in the values ​​will not turn a sewer-level hero into a top-level win rate hero.

Something like +5 movement speed in this version, the winning rate soars, and then it is cut back in the next version.

"Very good. I am looking forward to seeing the grand opening of this game. I hope you can make it smoothly."

"Lend your auspicious words."

……

However, the subsequent development and production work was not smooth.

The development team soon encountered the first difficulty.

The hero, the Arcane Supreme, is designed based on the prototype of Saint El, the legendary elven wizard, president of the Mages Guild, and known as the walking encyclopedia of spells.

In order to highlight the biggest feature of Old El's living encyclopedia of spells, Drogo's design plan is to use all skills.

The specific form of this is El's ultimate skill, which can steal any skill just released by an enemy hero and use it for his own benefit.

It's not hard to see that this design is a disaster of bugs.

All the skills of all existing heroes, as well as every skill of every hero to be launched in the future, must be adapted to Arcane Supreme.

This difficult task was given to Drogo's favorite in the game department, Yuffie, and her friends.

Their entire team was responsible for dealing with this one hero.

In Drogo's words, "There may be some difficulties, but I believe in your strength."

And now, Yufei's dark circles fully revealed her attitude towards taking on this task.

Regret, in short, I regret it very much.

It's not good to do anything.

Every day when I arrive at my workstation, I can see the error feedback from the testing team that seems to be urging me to die.

Yufei leaned back dejectedly, staring blankly at the long list of issues to be resolved in the form.

"Is it 'possible' that there is 'a little' difficulty?"

At this time, another team member came over and whispered, "Team leader, I have good news for you."

"What? Someone else has taken over the Arcane Supreme?"

Yufei now only hopes to hear this news, and it would be best if Elben takes over. She believes that with the ability of this legendary wizard, he will be able to complete the task of making herself.

"No, but this news is better."

"I do not believe."

"The next group also received a new mission. It seems to be about a hero called Water Element. That hero's ultimate move, haha..." The team members felt happy when they talked about it.

"Don't laugh, just speak."

"The ultimate skill is to transform into the selected hero. All heroes can be transformed. Hahaha..."

After listening to the description of the team members, a slightly perverted smile gradually appeared on Youfei's listless and somewhat sub-healthy face.

The difficulties I face are certainly difficult, but the greater difficulties faced by my colleagues are definitely worth celebrating.

"Hahaha……"

The evil laughter echoed in the office.

Other colleagues passing by the door couldn't help but look sideways.

It also made the testers standing at the door unsure whether they should knock and go in.

He was now afraid that this group of people had developed mental problems due to being tortured by the Arcane Supreme, and that he might encounter unexpected events if he went in.

After a brief moment of happiness, Youfei quickly adjusted her state and devoted herself to the development work.

Excellent developers may all have some masochistic tendencies.

One by one, they all said “I can’t do it” and “I don’t want to do it”.

But when I really encounter a challenging problem, I will rush to solve it.

When solving problems, you have a great sense of mission, and you will get infinite satisfaction after successfully solving them.

Youfei worked diligently, striving to find the most perfect implementation solution possible.

Because it is a key project, Drogo has very high requirements for the development of the Guardian ruins.

The implementation of each function must ensure sufficient robustness and scalability to cope with future updates.

Different projects have different requirements, just like the road to conquest, the requirements are completely different.

Robustness, scalability, and so on, as long as they are usable, it's fine. The key is to be fast and constantly provide new content, new levels, new values, even if it's just a reskin.

Due to the high requirements for guarding the ruins, the development work was further slowed down and many skill designs were sent back for redo.

Avoid any "cut-edge" methods.

Just like the stun skill of a hero that we made before, it directly borrowed the stun skill effect of other heroes.

To implement it specifically, when you cast a skill, you summon the borrowed hero, make him invisible and stun him, and then remove him after the skill is cast.

If you say that the design goal was achieved, then it was indeed achieved, but it was still sent back for redo.

Drogo was certain that if they continued in this way, with the increased number of updates, it would be doomed to be a disaster.

While the spell programmers were fighting, Drogo was also busy.

Because there is a "public hall" to guard the ruins, many buildings are needed there to serve as scenery and functional entrances.

It also lays the foundation for more complex projects in the future.

However, the engineers of the Drogo Group have very little experience and reference in how to construct complex buildings in the consciousness space.

So, Drogo decided to find them some reference.

There are no consciousness space buildings in the group, but there are plenty among the soul-ascending ones.

Therefore, Drogo once again came to the holy land of the Ascended.

"Holy Cathedral, this is good."

"The upside-down tower is not bad either."

"Castle in the Sky, wow, this is great."

Drogo wandered around the Sanctuary, taking in everything he saw.

"The obelisk is pretty cool."

"The Temple of Drogo, the Coliseum, the Lighthouse of the Sun King..."

Wait, what kind of temple did I see just now? (End of this chapter)
