Chapter 562: Mobile MOBA

Translator: 549690339
On the forums and Tieba almost every day, there were posts complaining about which pig teammate had tricked them again. Why hadn’t the elementary school started yet …

Indeed, at the end of every week or holiday, many people could feel that the probability of encountering pig teammates had increased significantly.

There were also a lot of people who said,”Chen Mo, hurry up and turn on the identity verification mode. Don’t let the kids log into the game. It’s so annoying!”

Chen Mo always laughed it off. What a joke, primary school students are also an important group of players. It’s not easy for primary school students to save up their lucky money, what kind of person am I if I don’t earn it?

He had to treat the players equally!

However, even though there were some primary school players in League of Legends, the number was still too small. The true core players of League of Legends were still young people between the ages of 16 and 26.

Even though there were more female and elementary school players in League of Legends than other games, Chen Mo was still not satisfied.

In the parallel world, mobile games and vr games were both very advanced, which caused a severe divergence in the PC market. League of Legends could only unify the PC market, and while it would slightly affect the other two platforms, there was a limit to it.

If he wanted to expand his player base, he couldn’t just place his hopes on one platform.

As Chen Mo was thinking, zou Zhuo walked over and sat down beside him.

“What’s wrong with you? why are you frowning? You got dumped?” Chen Zhao asked curiously.

“Sigh, don’t mention it.” Zou Zhuo’s face hurt.”I lost the diamond rank competition again.”

Chen Zhao patted his shoulder sympathetically.””Sigh, this is normal.”

Zou Zhuo wasn’t convinced,”manager, why do I always run into such terrible teammates?” As long as my teammates know how to play, I can win, but I can’t stand my teammates giving me free money!”

Chen Mo chuckled,”zou Zhuo, you can win if your teammates carry you, but you can’t win if your teammates don’t know how to play. Doesn’t that mean you’re in this group?” If you can really carry each game yourself, how can you not play?”

Zou Zhuo was shocked.”I think you’re right … But I still want to say something. F * ck a F * cking kid!”

Chen Mo laughed,”think about it. The primary school students might be on your side or opposite you. Isn’t it fun to be teammates with primary school students?”

“But … I don’t think primary school students have ever been on the opposite side of the queue … Ah, I was just thinking, can you find a way to control these primary school students?” zou Zhuo complained.

Chen Mo looked at him.”Hmm…We can make a game for primary school students. Let them play it. Then they won’t have to go to League of Legends to trick you.”

“That’s realistic, isn’t it?”zou Zhuo said. Primary school students nowadays are not like before. They all like to play games like League of Legends and especially like to play heroes that can be shown, such as children’s play … If you make a game, they might not like to play it. ”

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Chen Mo laughed.”They’ll definitely like my game.”

……

League of Legends had been online for more than a year.

As League of Legends became more and more popular, MOBA games also became more and more popular. However, on the PC side, League of Legends had already gained momentum, and there were basically no MOBA games that could shake its position.

This was because these types of games had a strong sense of exclusiveness. Players who were used to playing MOBA games would feel very uncomfortable when they tried other games.

Therefore, in the field of PC, it was hard to find a MOBA game that could compete with League of Legends.

Moreover, the VR industry wasn’t suitable for transplanting this type of game, so many video game companies focused their attention on mobile games.

Transplanting League of Legends to mobile games seemed like a good choice. Moreover, mobile game designers were constantly changing their design concepts and were no longer as limited as before.

Following the baptism of games such as Onmyoji and land of the guide, most video game designers realized that mobile game players had no bottom line. No matter how hardcore the game was, they would still play it …

Therefore, many designers were preparing to port their successful PC RPG games to mobile games, and also thinking about porting MOBA games like League of Legends to mobile games.

There were indeed two or three game companies that were already in the process of making the game. However, the end products of the game weren’t very good and the experience wasn’t as good as a computer, so it didn’t become popular.

The time was almost right for Chen Mo. If he let the developers continue to explore, there would definitely be designers who could recreate a more complete MOBA on the mobile game platform.

Clearly, Chen Zhao would not give them the chance.

……

Many mobile game designers from Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment were researching how to port MOBA games to their phones, and some were discussing it in private.

“Did you hear? League of Legends’s number of online players has reached a new high. It’s dominating the PC market now, and I can’t even make money without doing anything!”

“Yeah, but then again, who would’ve thought that League of Legends would have such a great future? Everyone thought that the PC market was already dead. ”

“Emperor dynasty entertainment should have a project as well. Should they consider making a mobile MOBA?”

“Yes, you have a project there too?”

“Definitely! And two of the projects are almost complete, but some details are still open to discussion. ”

“Yes, we’re also stuck at this segment. The main problem was farming, the game rhythm, and the release of skills. If we can solve these problems, it shouldn’t be hard to recreate the core fun of MOBA games on mobile games. ”

“But these are the problems that are not easy to solve! We’ve tried a few plans, but they don’t feel good. ”

……

Many video game designers were thinking about how to port MOBA games to mobile games, but they had yet to come up with a perfect plan.

These people’s design plans were basically based on the template of League of Legends. Because League of Legends had achieved great success on the PC side, its game design concept and numerical model had long been proven to be very successful, so most designers chose to use it.

However, many video game designers were still confused as to how to make changes to suit the mobile game platform.

On one hand, it was a matter of control. For example, how should the player move, attack, and how should they choose the target they wanted to attack? How do you determine if a player wants to fight the hero, the tower, or the jungle?

Furthermore, certain skills were more troublesome to cast. For example, Lee Sin could use his roundhouse kick smoothly on the computer, but it was a little too masochistic on the mobile game.
