Pei Qian was even more excited when he heard this.
"Teacher He, quickly tell me about this, I want to hear it very much!"
He An was a little surprised. "Why, Boss Ma, are you a veteran RTS game enthusiast?"
Pei Qian thought about it. "Hmm … more or less."
From now on, he should be considered a veteran, right?
Why do I like RTS games? Maybe it's because it can help me lose money?
He An thought about it. "Alright, RTS games are not off-topic with today's lesson, so I'll briefly talk about it.
"RTS games, that is, real-time strategy games, have indeed been brilliant in the past and were once the pillar game genre of the e-sports industry. Moreover, when it comes to RTS games, 'Fantasy Battle' and 'Starcraft 2' are inseparable.
"Last year, 'Starcraft 2' was released and was a great success.
"However, this did not change the industry's pessimism about the RTS game genre because it was more like the last radiance of the setting sun. The success of this game is also difficult to change the decline of the entire game genre.
"In fact, it is true that almost no one is willing to touch this game genre except for a few veteran, veteran, and well-known IP manufacturers.
"Even the big companies don't seem to want to invest too much money and energy into this type of game.
"The decline of this type of game has a very direct relationship with the rise of new types of games.
"RTS games have too high requirements for players' operation. Most players can't reach the minimum threshold of operation, so they naturally can't enjoy the game.
"At the same time, it is difficult to blame the teammates for the single-player mode. The frustration after losing is too strong, making RTS games a very high-end and enjoyable e-sports project. However, it is difficult to continue to be a popular game because the threshold is too high.
"The mainstream of future popular games should be games like GOG, especially the attributes of client-side games and mobile games, giving it a unique advantage …"
Pei Qian's mouth twitched. Why did they return to the topic of GOG?
He quickly tried to change the topic.
"In short, at this point in time, manufacturers without IP accumulation to make RTS games are a dead end, right?"
He An nodded slightly. "Yes, you can think of it that way."
Pei Qian could not help but rejoice.
I think so too!
Finally, it clashed with Teacher He's radio waves.
Pei Qian had indeed considered the RTS genre before, but the reason why he did not do it at that time was that the genre did not seem to be completely dead.
Although it had declined, there were still many old players who liked this type of game. Moreover, their purchasing power was astonishing. If they targeted him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But after more than a year, the situation had changed!
The release of "Starcraft 2" last year brought the RTS game back to life, and almost all the remaining RTS players were sucked away.
On the other hand, GOG and IOI were fighting so fiercely that even Gods Rising could only tremble. What more a new RTS game?
Yes, let's do this. It feels like it's foolproof!
Unfortunately, this cycle was too late. He could only wait for the next cycle to consider it.
He An sighed. "Actually, part of the reason why I decided to retire is that my vision can no longer keep up with the development of games in this era."
"Previously, I thought that games like Gods Rising would at most become a small and beautiful genre. No matter how mobile games develop, they wouldn't be able to have a strong impact on client-side games."
"Now, it seems like it's outdated thinking."
"So, Boss Ma, this is also the reason why I put this class on the second class. I hope that you can always have a long-term vision, find the development of the game, and make every game just in time for the wind. You can win by lying down!"
Pei Qian: "…"
Teacher He, why are you cursing me when I'm having a good lecture?
…
10 PM …
DGE Esports Club …
It was already lights out, and all the team members' cell phones had been taken away to ensure adequate sleep.
Ming Yun Villas was originally a group of villas far from the downtown area. The light pollution outside was very weak. Even without the curtains, only the faint moonlight and starlight could be seen.
This was the team's dormitory, a two-person room.
In the darkness, the figure who was paralyzed on the bed began to speak.
"Old Zhou, can I trouble you to bring me a glass of water? I'm thirsty. "
Old Zhou, who was sleeping on the other bed, was obviously not asleep. "F * ck, what did you do before going to bed? Why didn't you get it yourself? "
The paralyzed figure said weakly, "I can't move."
Old Zhou: "Huang Wang, you make it sound like I can move."
Huang Wang: "Old Zhou, don't pretend. You can definitely move. Please, if I die of thirst tomorrow, I'll lose the mock competition and have to train more at night!"
Old Zhou: "Call me Daddy."
Huang Wang: "Daddy!"
Old Zhou: "… What the f * ck, you really have no integrity as a captain. I give up."
Old Zhou had no choice but to get up from the bed and walk to the table next to him in a weird posture. He took Huang Wang's water cup and brought it to the bedside.
Huang Wang: "Ah …"
Old Zhou's face darkened. "Do you want to die? Drink it yourself, or I'll pour it on the floor! "
Huang Wang quickly sat up from the bed. "I'll drink it, I'll drink it. Give it to me."
Old Zhou lay back on the bed in a bad mood.
Huang Wang drank two mouthfuls of water, pursed his lips, and said, "Old Zhou, we can't go on like this. We have to think of a way. The guy with the surname Jiang on the other team is definitely a silver coin!
"We've already had extra training for a week. If we continue to lose, we're going to be crippled!"
Old Zhou was speechless. "That's because you're the captain! Jiang Huan can always think of a way to beat us up. Compared to the other team, our team is like a plate of loose sand! Especially you, you're playing as a mid laner, and your support is always slower than the others. What's the point of playing then! "
Huang Wang was not convinced. "F * ck, isn't it because of the Nakano twins? Anyway, it's all about strategy. We have to think of a new strategy. Otherwise, we'll have extra training after losing the mock competition. Who the f * ck can handle that! "
"If we continue to train, we can really become a fitness coach!"
Old Zhou laughed. "It's fine. Before becoming a fitness coach, we can find the other team to PK in real life. I can feel that my muscles have grown a size."
Huang Wang: "How about this. We'll think of a few strategies tomorrow. The other team doesn't play by the rules, so we can only play dirty. I've finally figured it out. This game is all about strategy … "
Suddenly, the light outside the door lit up. Light shone through the door crack, and the two of them immediately shut up.
Zhang Yuan stood at the door for two minutes before turning around and leaving.
The daily training of the DGE Club during this period was simply indescribable.
After Boss Pei set the training schedule, Zhang Yuan became slightly worried. However, he still strictly followed the schedule.
Indeed, this group of internet addicts had a hard time on the first day.
They were originally supposed to jog in the morning, but this group of people quickly changed from jogging to walking quickly, and then from walking quickly to walking slowly. Finally, they changed from walking slowly to panting on the spot.
Strength training was arranged at night. They did not feel much after the training, but they felt as if their bodies had been hollowed out. After sleeping for a while, they almost could not get out of bed the next day.
Fortunately, Coach Yaling was a professional. She was always paying attention to everyone's physical condition during the training process. She was very professional in terms of nutritional supplements, warm-up before training, and stretching after training. Thus, there were no major problems.
However, even so, these people were still trained hard. In the first week of fitness, the quality of the solo training in the game and the effect of the mock competition plummeted. Ten players dropped by one stage in the high-level solo competition.
In the second week, things started to change subtly.
The players who were originally as thin as bamboo began to have obvious muscle mass, and the fat players became visibly thinner. As they gradually adapted to the amount of fitness exercise, everyone's gaming state was also slowly recovering.
Then, one of the teams was the first to be enlightened.
Jiang Huan's team began to use all kinds of tricks in the mock competition. They directly won seven consecutive games and smashed the heads of Huang Wang's team.
As for why they worked so hard …
The reason was very simple. The losers had to train more!
If they lost well, the captain and the scapegoat in the team would train together. If they lost badly, the entire team would train together.
After a few days of extra training, Huang Wang, the captain, almost did not have the strength to get out of bed and get a glass of water.
That was because as the players' physical fitness improved and gradually adapted, Coach Yaling had already increased the training load.
Zhang Yuan had a little sympathy for these players at first, but after observing for a period of time, he realized that it seemed to have some effect!
Previously, he heard that some clubs also trained the first and second teams against each other. At first, there was no punishment. Then, everyone used all kinds of tricks, and no one took winning or losing seriously. Later, the team leader decided that the losing team would each pay 100 yuan to buy cigarettes and snacks for the winning team. As a result, both sides immediately became serious.
The punishment of extra training seemed to be more effective than that.
Both teams were racking their brains to study tactics and come up with new tricks. They were also becoming more and more serious. All kinds of new playstyles found in the stairway could be used in the mock competition on the same day.
Moreover, the custom practice that was specially arranged after the morning run was also effective.
At first, the players were at a loss. There was no one to compete with in the custom game. What was there to practice?
However, they could not do anything else during this period of time. They could only practice the basic skills of some heroes in the custom game and study the mechanisms of the heroes.
After working hard to master the skills of the heroes that they were familiar with, they could only continue to study the heroes that they were not familiar with.
Then, they studied the troops, monsters, and various deeper game mechanisms in the game. The more they studied, the more data they memorized.
After all, it was too boring to just practice muscle memory for two whole hours. They would more or less think about the game's mechanisms.
Obviously, Huang Wang's team's performance in the mock competition was getting better and better. They were also desperately studying various tactics. Perhaps they would soon obtain a victory and regain their pride.
Then, Jiang Huan and the others would practice again and study new tactics. They would chase each other and form a perpetual movement.
After all, GOG was a new game. The players who had the deepest understanding of the game were the high-level players. If they were asked to think of tactics, they might not necessarily be worse than the coaches who had transferred from other projects.
Zhang Yuan could not help but feel emotional. Could Boss Pei's training plan really have been carefully thought out?
After trying it out for a period of time, the effect was not bad!
