Chapter 152: Preparing to Go to Sea

Next.

Tang Yao put all her thoughts into the planning of "Dou Pai".

Li Xue's mind was on the personnel and finance departments, and the two of them were busy with their own things.

However, the two of them would occasionally sit down, have a drink together and chat about things.

Li Xue mainly asked Tang Yao for her opinions on the applicants...

Tang Yao mainly asked her if she was handsome... well, if the card setting was handsome.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Tang Yao's plan gradually became complete, with massive amounts of card descriptions and mechanism explanations constantly turning into text and pictures.

Avalon's staff gradually increased, and as time went by, the atmosphere in the Avalon studio became more and more lively...ANF was also very lively, and many old 2D fans came here to play. In fact, Avalon also received many FGO gamers.

There are also some people who seem to be optimistic about the future development of Tang Yao Company and want to share the hardships and joys together.

But no matter what their purpose is... after Li Xue's screening, most of the people who come here are quite capable.

Simultaneously.

Tang Yao's moving work has also been ongoing.

at last.

The day Tang Yao moved.

The plan has also been completed.

A huge stack full of them.

She wrote every card and every mechanism in great detail, striving for perfection.

Based on her experience, she also talked about the possible linkage effects of certain cards, such as the simplest Emperor, an essential component of Hearthstone's early OTK decks, and she briefly mentioned the possible consequences of cost reductions for certain cards.

I spent a whole morning checking it and confirmed that there was no problem.

Tang Yao finally found Si Jinliang with the plan.

Si Jinliang has been modifying the underlying rules of "Dou Pai" based on Tang Yao's first plan these days.

After all, the overall framework of "Dou Pai" is there, and applying some basic functions can indeed save a lot of effort.

When Tang Yao went over, he was discussing something with Shi Wanglin.

Noticed Tang Yao coming over.

He immediately looked up and said, "Tang Yao, I still think five hundred cards are too many, especially with so many classes. How about this? Let's start with five classes, and then don't be too ambitious with the number of cards. Let's start with around two hundred. Otherwise, it'll take forever to design..."

But he wasn't done yet.

Then he saw a large stack of information in Tang Yao's arms.

?

isn't it?
Si Jinliang slowly put a question mark and widened his eyes.

"Don't worry, it's healed now."

Tang Yao confirmed his thoughts, then placed the warm, freshly printed paper in her arms on his desk.

When Si Jinliang and Shi Wanglin heard this, they opened their mouths slightly and were stunned.

No.

what?
Si Jinliang couldn't believe it and asked, "This is..."

"It's the career system and cards you just mentioned. Go over them first."

Tang Yao explained, "There are a lot of cards, and they're quite complex. However, you two have played the game before, so it shouldn't be difficult to understand why these cards are designed the way they are... You should familiarize yourself with them first, then sort them out and find the problems, and see which cards need to be changed."

"..."

When Si Jinliang heard this, he was silent for a while, then immediately stood up and reached out to flip through it.

No.

impossible!
How many days has it been?

but.

As soon as he opened the first page, he saw the legendary cards.

There are four dragons, one increases spell damage, one changes the remaining health of one hero to 15, one burns the rope directly, and one places a dream card in the player's hand at the end of the round.

The description is simple and direct.

The mechanism is explained in simple terms.

The derivative dream cards given by Ysera are explained in detail later.

Size, mechanism, cost...

Si Jinliang continued to look down.

Leeroy's Charge.

Fording's Divine Shield, Taunt, and Deathrattle.

Prophet Velen's damage and healing are doubled.

Loatheb's increased enemy mana consumption.

The emperor's fee reduction.

With Bolvar in hand, each time a friendly minion dies, the special attack power will be increased by 1.

Various imaginative designs.

Si Jinliang's fingers trembled slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled every time he turned a page.

After flipping through seven or eight pages, he couldn't stand it anymore. He suddenly looked up at Tang Yao, who was standing in front of him. He felt terrible: "This was all designed by you alone!?"

The development of card games is very difficult...it requires very high planning skills.

Because card design needs to take into account multiple dimensions such as strategic depth, balance, player experience, and scalability.

The strength of each card must match its cost, effect, and rarity to avoid being too overpowered or useless.

The combination of cards may produce unexpected synergistic effects, and the game ecology needs to be maintained through rule restrictions or adjustments to the card pool.

At the same time, because different forces or professions have unique mechanisms, the overall strength balance must be maintained.

In this case, the designed cards should have consistent rules, diverse strategies, coherent themes, and avoid excessive cognitive burden.

Tell the truth.

too difficult!
this point.

Si Jinliang had a deep understanding of this when he was making "Dou Pai"!

The 300 cards currently available in "Dou Pai" were created by his entire planning team after spending countless days and nights and working hard.

You know, there were many people in his planning team who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars playing TCG... They also planned other card games in the meantime and always dreamed of making their own TCG game, so they joined Mingyu Technology. Many of them were originally TCG experts.

They gave Si Jinliang advice and suggestions.

Si Jinliang still had a splitting headache when designing the cards.

but now.

The girl in front of me threw out... a lot of things in less than a week.

Although it is not yet known whether the rules of these cards are self-consistent, it is not clear whether the strategies are diverse, and the balance has not been verified.

But it is indeed imaginative, creative and interesting, and the descriptions of the card effects are concise and easy to understand!
This was enough to make Si Jinliang doubt his life. No!

Is this reasonable?

"I'm not alone."

Tang Yao thought about it and found that she couldn't explain the things in her previous life, so she said directly: "This is the result of many TCG enthusiasts."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Si Jinliang looked around and finally looked at Tang Yao, the only planner of the "Dou Pai" project team, and fell silent.

You are a liar!

Tang Yao looked at him like this, thought for a moment, and didn't explain much. She was quite busy: "You should get familiar with it first, and tell me if you have any questions later... By the way."

Speaking of which.

Tang Yao paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I just wrote the card names casually. The entire world view framework of the game has not been finalized yet, so don't pay too much attention to the names. But there is one thing I want to make clear to you first. The background of the game must be Western fantasy. This will not change. As for the reason... My goal is not just domestically, this game will also be exported overseas.

You should know what I mean. "

Since there is no Warcraft here, the story must of course be reconstructed.

But Tang Yao still wanted to use the Western fantasy background story.

Because there are many players who like card games, not only in China... but also overseas.

In Tang Yao's previous life, card games have always had a large audience around the world because compared with other types of games, the characteristics of its user base are very vague and its regional characteristics are also vague.

Otherwise, Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh wouldn't be world-famous.

Same here.

There are players who like this type of game everywhere.

But most players can't afford physical cards.

Most physical TCG game manufacturers are also reluctant to vigorously promote the electronic version, mainly because they need to protect the original lucrative physical card market and pricing system.

If you turn it into an online game, what will happen to the physical cards?
But the online development of card games... is an irreversible trend.

Otherwise, Hearthstone would not have appeared in Tang Yao's previous life.

However, in the traditional PVP card game field, there has not yet been an excellent game.

This means that the market segment is completely blank.

At this time...a reliable product was launched.

Tang Yao felt that there was a high probability of success.

Another point is... if this place is the same as Tang Yao's previous life, as the number of mobile games increases, then this new field will inevitably usher in a corresponding review mechanism.

Although there is a high probability that the policy will be relaxed in the end, if there really is a license winter during this period and there is a blank window period... it will still be very uncomfortable.

But if we develop overseas markets.

I'm not afraid at all.

Because you earn foreign exchange!
There is so much freedom in this regard!
"Go out to sea?"

Si Jinliang was even more confused.

"Well, you should get familiar with it first."

Tang Yao nodded, knowing it was too early to say these things now. She just left this sentence and turned away.

She also wants to draw "Chainsaw Man".

After all, we can't abandon the website.

Tang Yao left in a hurry.

Si Jinliang watched Tang Yao go away. Only after she sat down again did he slowly turn his head to look at Shi Wanglin, who was looking at the card description with great interest, and whispered, "I feel like a waste..."

Really.

He was really hit.

If he hadn't made a card game, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

But he did make "Dou Pai"!

This is so devastating.

"It's okay. We all felt the same way when we were making FGO."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanglin patted Si Jinliang's shoulder gently and said earnestly, "We are all the same."

He is much calmer than Si Jinliang.

Maybe I became numb when I was working on FGO...

Si Jinliang was also numb when he saw his expression.

It was the first time for him to play games with Tang Yao, and it was also the first time he was hit so hard that he began to doubt his life.

However, even if you doubt life, you still have to read the plan.

About ten minutes later.

Si Jinliang managed to adjust his mindset and looked at the cards designed by Tang Yao.

Shi Wanglin didn't say anything else and started reading as well.

soon.

The two of them were completely immersed in it.

Then, the two of them watched from noon to dusk...

Six pm.

Most people went to eat.

The two were still watching.

Until someone went to eat and bumped into a chair, making a harsh sound.

The two of them suddenly came to their senses.

"Fuck..."

"Fuck..."

When the two came to their senses, they said the same word almost at the same time.

then.

Si Jinliang didn't even bother to eat. She stared blankly at the imaginative yet self-consistent cards on the paper for a while, then stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to make a phone call!"

There are too many cards!
He can't do it all by himself!
He wanted to call back all the previous planners of "Dou Pai"! Those hardcore TCG enthusiasts!
Because he had a premonition!
They will all love this game!

And this game! If it can really be made! It will become the most popular card game!

the other side.

Tang Yao and Li Xue were out looking for food.

I would never think of it even if you kill me.

After she acquired Mingyu Technology, she was still able to suck their blood...
