Without waiting for Jimmy to speak, Yu Dong continued, "There may be another game released in 2002. This game is also related to "Warcraft", but it is completely different. The name of this game is "Dota". This game

It requires more players, a game requires ten players. Therefore, compared to other games, the game "Dota" takes into account both competitiveness and sociality."

Yu Dong's words seemed to answer the question, but in fact they raised more questions. Now many netizens are asking what is the difference between the two games.

Unfortunately, today is not the press conference for these two games. The purpose of Yu Dong mentioning these two games is to attract everyone's attention and curiosity and let them pay attention to these two games.

Therefore, at this point, he did not continue to talk about these two games, and Jimmy certainly did not ask any further questions.

At this time, Yu Dong changed the subject and said, "Speaking of sociality, I think the sociality of online games is incomparable. In recent years, there have been many massively multiplayer online role-playing games in China, some of which

The performance is very good. We are not far behind and hope to release an online game. Therefore, next, Blizzard will develop an online game. This online game will use the plot of "Warcraft" as the historical background and rely on "Warcraft".

Do it based on the historical events and heroes of Warcraft."

The online game Yu Dong mentioned is "World of Warcraft". In fact, Blizzard has been developing "World of Warcraft" for a long time. If the speed is fast, it will be available for public testing by the end of 2003. If the speed is slower, it will be basically ready by the middle of 2004.

It’s almost done.

When Mike Mohan was working on "Warcraft 3", he had the idea of ​​​​making an online game version of "Warcraft". However, "Warcraft 3" was still in an important stage of development at that time, and they did not have the time or energy to do it.

Make an online game version.

After talking to Yu Dong at that time, Mike Mohan accelerated the progress of the matter and started developing it after returning.

The key is that after Deep Space Corporation took over, Blizzard's financial situation and office politics were much better, and many things could be done freely.

No matter who managed them before, they always wanted to make some money from them, and they would also dictate their development. Many of Mike Mohan's ideas could not be implemented.

However, Deep Space Company does not seem to care whether they can bring income to the group in the short term. Not only does it not want to make money from them, it also actively encourages them to invest money in new plans.

Moreover, after joining Deep Space Company, Blizzard promoted its games more, and its profits naturally increased.

As the income increases and the turnover decreases, the company's development speed will naturally become faster.

In addition, Deep Space Company can provide more resources to Blizzard. Deep Space has a top special effects team, screenwriting team, and design team. These technical forces can be used in game development to speed up game development.

Others don't know that Blizzard has been secretly developing "World of Warcraft" for a long time. They think they are just planning to do this and don't pay much attention to it. Many people even feel that it is a bit late to start doing this now.

, because there are many popular online games now.

It takes a lot of time to make a large-scale online game. Even if Blizzard starts working on it now, will it take three or four years to complete the game? Three or four years is not enough. If you encounter any trouble, a game

It may take seven or eight years to develop. The key point is that Blizzard has no experience in making online games, so what it produces may not be good.
Chapter completed!
