Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 62

According to the habits in his previous world, it might have been better to call it “National Geographic of Azeroth”(NGA). But what Chen Mo is going to do now is not a forum for player to exchange, but an official website dedicated to introducing Azeroth.

Of course, NGA can be an important part of this website and get added later.

The concept of “Azeroth Universe” is inspired from the “Universe of League of Legends”.

After the popularity of the game, 《League of Legends》, Riot Games went all out to build their own game culture, and the most important of which is the world view of the game, which is, “Universe of League of Legends”.

As a special art carrier, the world view of the game may be extremely huge, but some of the plots and settings can’t be fully displayed in the game. Therefore, in order to further expand the cultural influence of 《League of Legends》, Riot Games launched the “Universe of League of Legends”.

MOBA games are limited by the characteristics of the game itself, and there are many heroes, so the world view is scattered, so it is difficult to promote the “Universe of League of Legends”.

The world view of 《World of Warcraft》 is already very mature and the “Azeroth Universe” made by Chen Mo should be more easily recognized and have a stronger influence.

What kind of website is “Azeroth Universe”?

In Chen Mo’s plan, this website will be mainly use to introduce the relevant settings of Azeroth and the Warcraft series, which is divided into four major sections: History, Heroes, Rules, and Regions, which respectively describe Azeroth’s historical evolution, biography, world rules, and regional division.

Of course, this is a very long project in order to move all the settings of Azeroth world from its original place and it won’t be completed within a few months. Chen Mo is ready to do a long-term update and update it a bit whenever he is free.

His focus is mainly on the three part, 【History】, 【Rules】 and 【Region】.

【History】 will mainly introduce some major events such as the orc invasion, the establishment of Orgrimmar and the Alliance, and elaborate the relationship between the Alliance and the Horde.

【Rules】 is to introduce some of the related settings, such as the hearthstone, running to the corpse to revive, race, job, skills and so on.

【Region】 is to introduce the main cities of the various races, as well as some unique places in Azeroth.

This is to let the players have a better understanding of 《I am MT》’s content, and will also pave the way for the future when Chen Mo has enough ability and resources to make the whole content of 《World of Warcraft》, and this website is equivalent to heating it up in advance.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The first 3 episodes of the first season of 《I am MT》 will be updated synchronously on major video websites!

Before the anime gets release, Chen Mo also did some preparatory work. On one hand, he had contacted some of the larger video websites and bought the recommendation place on their homepage.

Dazzling Aurora Studio is familiar with the business process in this area, and knows some editors of major video websites, so if the money is ready then he can get some of the basic recommendation place.

Of course, those important places on the homepage can certainly heat it to a certain extent, but since it is too expensive, Chen Mo did not consider it.

Dazzling Aurora Studio’s own website, is of course, carrying out some publicity and preheating.

On the other hand, Chen Mo also released the news about the anime of 《I am MT》 getting broadcast on his weibo and in 《Plants vs Zombies》 and 《Flappy Bird》, and briefly introduced the background story of this anime, and suggesting that it will be related to his new game.

On Weibo, Chen Mo also released a trailer of the anime of 《I am MT》, which is the introduction video at the start of the film, which lasted about more than 2 minutes, and showing the full picture of Azeroth.

Within a very short time, Chen Mo’s weibo has been forwarded thousands of times!

There are loyal players of 《Plants vs Zombies》 and 《Flappy Bird》 and there are also the game medias that have been paying attention to this bet, and there are also some players of Emperor Interactive Entertainment.

Soon, some players who didn’t know about it also noticed the news, and after watching the trailer, some of the player’s interest was also attracted.

“What is this? Anime? Am I right?”

“…isn’t there a betting for the monthly turnover? A month passed and turns out that Chen Mo is throwing out an anime?”

“And it is from Dazzling Aurora studio, I am confuse, this seems to be planned in advance, shouldn’t this cost a lot of money?”

“I’m worried about Chen Mo not having enough time to develop the game…”

“The trailer of the anime is very interesting. I feel that the world view is huge, I want to go and take a look.”

“Uhm, I’m looking at it, but how is this related to the game?”

At 8 p.m. the anime of 《I am MT》 officially launched!

After the previous preheating, and the influence of the video website recommendation, when the anime just got release, it received a lot of attention, and there are also corresponding topics on Weibo, and the game comment area of 《Plants vs Zombies》 is all about the anime!

There is basically no problem in the preheating, but this is just the first step. The key is to see the evaluation of the audience and see if they will continue watching it.

Chen Mo was slightly nervous, and he has been paying attention to the broadcast data of the major websites and the player messages.

It can be said that whether the anime is successful or not will largely determine the popularity of the game. If the anime is thoroughly dislike, then the game will greatly be affected, and although it won’t completely kick the bucket, but it will still certainly get affected.

Su Jinyu and Jia Peng were also very nervous, and they were all refreshing the data of the major video sites.

Soon, the comments of the audience became more and more.

“This is it? What the hell, it’s so short!”

“Just this? What about the follow up?”

“A cattle as the main character is not orthodox! But I like it!”

“Although I am slightly confused, but I feel that the world view is very interesting.”

“The characters are all great, 23333” (T/N: the number is the number corresponding to a smiley face symbol)

“Seems…a little unexpected, Chen Mo should have planned this anime in advance, right?”

Although a part of the audience were in the state of “I don’t get it, but it seems amazing”, overall, their first impression of the anime is not bad. The key point is that the anime is very novel in their eyes, specially in terms of the background settings.

At the end of the third episode, a line of subtitles appeared on the screen after the trailer played.

“To be continued…”

And there is also another small line: “Login on the Azeroth Universe to get more Azeroth related settings and background stories!”

“Azeroth Universe? Is there such a thing?”

Many viewers still have a lot to say after watching the anime, while some of them were attracted by the world view of the anime and went to the official website of “Azeroth Universe” to see more content.
