All the features of League of Legends were analyzed repeatedly.
For example, the gas operation mode, art style, core gaplay, profit model, promotion thods, and so on. Countless professionals were studying the internal and external factors that made the ga so popular.
So designers were also wondering if they could ride on the coattails of League of Legends and make a ga that was similar or even better.
Especially companies like Emperor dynasty entertainnt and fantasy gaming platform, they were trying to steal users from Chen Mos Thunderbolt gaming platform. The appearance of League of Legends at such a critical ti was too deadly.
The distributors thought that this would be a long battle and decided to release the ga in may or June, or even later than that. However, Chen Mo made the first move and released League of Legends before the new year. He took advantage of the loophole during the new year and used large-scale marketing to push the ga to a high level of popularity.
The distributors were caught off guard. If they followed the original plan and launched a competitive ga in may or June? That would be too late, and the daylilies would have turned cold.
In just a dozen days, League of Legends had beco so popular. Who could predict what it would be like in three or four months?
By then, he might have already devoured the entire PC market.
The ga companies had co up with the following counterasures.
The first plan was to speed up the developnt of competitive gas and release them earlier.
However, this plan was quickly rejected, because Project: S and three realms were both large-scale gas that were interconnected between VR and PC. There was a lot of work to be done, and the developnt schedule was already very tight. It was impossible to release them earlier.
Moreover, after analyzing the ga mode of League of Legends, many designers were skeptical about whether these two gas could pose a threat to League of Legends.
Because these two gas were old-school shooting and role-playing gas, there were already relatively mature products on the market. On the other hand, League of Legends was a new ga model, so it was obvious which one would be more popular.
He had only heard of new ga genres replacing old ga genres, but he had never heard of old ga genres being able to fight back.
The second plan was to develop a ga similar to League of Legends, which was either a copycat or a knockoff.
Obviously, this was the best strategy that these companies could co up with at the mont, unless they could discover a better ga model. However,discovering a better ga mode was sothing they had been trying for a long ti, and it was not sothing that could be done overnight.
Therefore, even though following the trend and making mountain villages seed very low, they were the best choice at the mont.
Moreover, copycat gas might not necessarily fail, and there were many examples of pirated gas surpassing the original.
There were also several ways to create counterfeits. They could release a ga similar to League of Legends on PC, or similar gas on other platforms.
He definitely couldnt make a VR ga, because the investnt was too big and the risk was too high. Moreover, League of Legends was able to capture so many players because of its low configuration, ease of use, and Gods perspective. Making it a VR ga was as unrealistic as making an RTS ga like Warcraft a VR ga.
Without the omniscient view, the players would not be able to control the state of the entire battlefield, and it would be extrely difficult for the players to cooperate with each other. Coupled with the shrinking of the player base, the fun of the ga would be lost.
There were also people who suggested making similar mobile gas. This seed more reliable, but whether or not they wanted to do it was not confird.
The main thing was that changing a gas platform ant that the players operating habits would also change accordingly. As for how to avoid these pitfalls, he still had to think about it in the long run.
For example, how should he release non-directional skills while playing League of Legends on the phone? How should he farm? How should I check the minimap? How should he send a signal to his teammates? How was one supposed to determine which champion the player wanted to attack?
If they used their hands to farm, how could the small screen of the phone ensure that the players wouldnt touch it by mistake? And even if they didnt accidentally touch it, who could stand the fact that the players had to move and farm at least a few hundred tis in a ga?
These problems that Chen Mo already had a clear solution to were completely unknown to the other designers. Even if they tried to port it to the mobile platform, they would at least need a decent solution.
Therefore, this plan could be considered, but it would inevitably be delayed.
After a long discussion, the most reliable way was to make a ga on the PC side first to curb the current popularity of League of Legends. Even if it couldnt completely take over the market share, it could at least ride on the coattails of the ga, and it would be easier to understand the inner qualities of such gas.
After all, Chen Mo had all the algorithms and data for League of Legends, which were crucial for the promotion and improvent of the ga. Without the data, it would be difficult to understand the players tastes, and it would be impossible to make a truly dominant ga.
Emperor dynasty entertainnt and fantasy gaming platforms staff had a few ergency etings to decide on a strategy for after the new year.
Firstly, Emperor dynasty entertainnt would urge the GA to make changes to the ga, which currently looked like it had the highest completion rate, to better adapt to the habits of dostic users and improve the low retention rate.
Of course, there was a high chance that the GA would ignore them, and Emperor dynasty entertainnt couldnt do anything about that. After all, they were only agents.
Secondly, Emperor dynasty entertainnt would be developing a new ga, ancient catastrophe, using Jin jieguangs experience report as a model to completely simplify League of Legends ga mode, hoping to poach the players from League of Legends.
After all, League of Legends was much simpler than COG, and the effect was imdiate. Lin chaoxu also hoped that the simplified ancient catastrophe could turn the tables.
Of course, Emperor dynasty entertainnt didnt have that many resources. In order to fully develop the new ga,
