Among the many types of games, one kind of game has a very special playing method. It is characterized by the real simulation of ancient battlefield horseback riding and chopping, combined with the general commanding small-scale forces to work together. The classic PC game "Horse riding and chopping" is the representative of this kind of game. The ending object of this new tour is a brand new domestic online game "Tiger and Leopard Ride" based on this kind of play method. This game is developed by NetDragon. While comprehensively inheriting the play method of the game of riding and chopping, it has added online play method and Chinese elements, and will open its first test on November 21. At present, the hack game is relatively small and core oriented. Whether Ride the Tiger and Leopard can succeed and expand this category of users, please follow the tail to approach this test.

 

Tiger and Leopard Ride is developed with the illusory 3 engine, which supports a large-scale battle of up to 100 people vs. 100 people. The game also logs in to Steam Platform Favorite Light, which is planned to be launched in the future. At the end of this episode, you will first show us a set of exclusive UI screenshots. Through this set of pictures, we can see that "Riding Tiger and Leopard" supports time and weather changes, and can control multiple soldiers to form an array. There are many scenarios such as ship battle, city battle, sea battle, etc.

 

 

Five features of Riding Tiger and Leopard:

 

Restore the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China. Through the highly restoration of weapons and equipment during the Three Kingdoms Period and the perfect shaping of ancient battlefields, players can enjoy a more authentic and Chinese cold weapon war game.

 

Leading 100 person combat mode. "Riding Tiger and Leopard" is the first online war game integrating cold weapon strategy+action type. In addition to the operation of the player role, it also includes the strategy part of on-the-spot command. The player should play a commander, not just a soldier.

 

It comes from the operation mode of Riding and Chopping. The fighting and operation creativity are derived from the classic game "Horse Riding and Chopping". At the same time, new operation and command commands have been designed to make more domestic players feel the charm of the game of riding and chopping.

 

Collected by famous generals of the Three Kingdoms. Players can unlock all types of famous generals of the Three Kingdoms as their deputies. In addition to coordinated command on the battlefield, vice generals can make great contributions to both attack and defense.

 

Realistic character settings. The game strictly follows the history in setting the arms and characters, so as to present a more realistic Three Kingdoms War to the players.

 

 

The first test of Riding Tiger and Leopard will be launched on November 21. As the first online game of cold weapon war strategy, are you looking forward to it? In this episode, you will bring us an exclusive novice teaching video. Look at the teaching, everyone is ready for tomorrow's first test!

 

The exclusive video novice teaching of riding the tiger and leopard

 

Riding Tiger and Leopard is a third person action RPG with the background of the Three Kingdoms. The core experience of the game is the battlefield, in which the real equestrian settings also amplify the charm of cold weapon war. The game is based on the Three Kingdoms era, and has restored the Three Kingdoms in troubled times. Players can not only compete with the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, but also relive the famous battles of the Three Kingdoms.

 

In the game, the main arms are cavalry, infantry and archers. Each arm has its own characteristic branch, which can fully meet the fun of cultivating enthusiasts. As one of the characteristics of the game of Tiger and Leopard Riding, players can cultivate their own generals in multiple cultivation. In addition, they can also experience different types of arms through arms growth and upgrading.

 

The 3D real horse riding battle online game "Riding Tiger and Leopard" is built with U3 engine, so that players can become unparalleled warriors who can ride a thousand horses, or become famous generals respected by thousands of people, Ru Shuai.

 

The first test of Ride of the Tiger and the Leopard opened two games, namely, the crusade and the famous general. The crusade distinguishes itself from the famous general's individual fighting in chaos. The crusade has its own aides and soldiers who go to the battlefield together. After death, the game cannot be revived, so it is more strategic for players.

 

Because the famous "tiger and leopard riding elite troops" under Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period were adopted, the background setting of the whole game can not be separated from the theme of the Three Kingdoms. However, due to the reason of the first test, there are not too many famous players open for players to recruit.

 

In fact, what is worth mentioning most is the upgrade system of "Riding the Tiger and the Leopard". The upgrade tree of "Riding the Tiger and the Leopard" draws on the technology tree concept of some military online games, abandons its own upgrade settings, and instead adds infinite possibilities to the upgrade of arms.

 

The first test of Riding Tiger and Leopard ended on December 5. How was the test performance? What plans will the game have in the future? Tail Xingjun contacted Li Dongcheng, the executive producer of the Ride of the Tiger and the Leopard, and asked about a lot of information about this test and future game plans. Li Dongcheng said that the second test of the Ride of the Tiger and the Leopard was planned to start in April and May 2015. If it goes well, it is expected to be public tested within the year. After that, the game will also include matching systems, siege warfare, new battlefields and other content, and add support for the controller, And plan to log in to Steam and the host platform.

 

Sina game: Hello, the first test of Ride the Tiger and Leopard is over. How is the test effect?

Li Dongcheng: Hello, the results of this test of Riding Tiger and Leopard are very ideal, and the players are very enthusiastic. They also found some bugs and problems in our project, and the pressure of the server and bandwidth also obtained some useful data. Thank you for participating in the test.

 

Sina Game: What feedback have you received and will be improved in the next test? What new content will be added in the future?

Li Dongcheng: We have received a lot of feedback, mainly focusing on the increase of new models, such as the siege war, the matching system room allocation mechanism, and the balance between arms. This is why we have been adjusting throughout the test. In the next test, the siege battle is sure to be held. A new battlefield is also under planning, and a new general war (that is, single player war) mode will be added. At present, it will be sold without disclosure.

 

Sina game: when will the next test be? When will the public beta be held? Will the 2015 Annual Meeting be officially open beta?

Li Dongcheng: We expect the second test from April to May. As for the public test, if the second test is successful, it will soon be in 2015.

 

 

Sina game: some players doubt that this game is very similar to the famous single player "Horse Riding and Chopping". What do you think of it?

Li Dongcheng: Of course, it's very similar. We are also a kind of riding and chopping game. Just like CS and Call of Duty. DOTA is similar to LOL.

Of course, there are still differences and innovations in Ride of Tiger and Leopard. Players who played the first test felt that there was too much difference between Ride and Chop. We will use our own game concept to make this type of game, rather than completely copy it. Of course, there will be situations where the hack players are not suitable.

 

Sina game: What do you think of Tencent's "Blade and Iron Rider"? What are the competitive advantages of riding the tiger and leopard?

Li Dongcheng: Although I personally believe that the two games are of the same type, the different production concepts lead to great differences in the works. There is almost no similarity in the art style and core play methods, so I don't think it is necessary to compare them.

 

 

Sina game: "Riding Tiger and Leopard" is a game of riding, chopping and fighting. It can be said that it is difficult to fight. How to alleviate this situation?

Li Dongcheng: A lot of improvements have been made in Ride of the Tiger and the Leopard. For the adaptation of novices, for example, the setting of combo attack, the manipulation of horses, the weakening of blocking effect, and the strengthening of armor performance all hope to be closer to common players on the basis of moving towards real experience. From the effect of actual testing, It's really easier for beginners to get started than riding and chopping, and there are still some active female players in the first test (which is far beyond our expectation). We originally expected that none of them would have a female player (laugh), which also shows that riding the tiger and leopard is easier to get started.

 

Sina game: So "Tiger and Leopard Ride" is more for old players who like to ride and chop, or have you never met new players of this type?

Li Dongcheng: We hope that both seasoned hack riders and players who have never been exposed to this type of game can enjoy the charm of this type of game and truly experience the feeling of fighting in the battlefield.

 

Sina game: I have noticed that "Riding Tiger and Leopard" has been included in the favor of Steam platform. Will this game log on to Steam platform? When do I log in?

Li Dongcheng: At present, the version of "Riding Tiger and Leopard" logged on to the Steam platform is under production, and will be together after the domestic version of the public beta or at the same time (if the project team is not exhausted).

 

Sina game: The operation mode of "Riding Tiger and Leopard" seems quite suitable for handle operation. Will the game support handle operation? Will you log in to the host platform in the future?

Li Dongcheng: In fact, if the player wants to try the first version, he will find that it can be operated with a handle. Of course, the current operation is not so smooth, and we will continue to optimize it. There will certainly be plans to log on to the host platform in the future.

 

Sina game: As a war online game, what is the current e-sports plan of Ride the Tiger and Leopard?

Li Dongcheng: In December, we will screen some guild teams with good first test level for a team game, and the future competition plan will continue, because this is also an e-sports game after all, and we will continue to adjust the balance of the battlefield.

 

Sina Game: In terms of game operation, what profit model will Ride the Tiger and Leopard adopt in the future?

Li Dongcheng: The profit model will mainly consider VIP member players, as well as players' coat and armor skin and horses' coat and armor skin, which will not affect the balance of the battlefield. We can guarantee that the 998 Golden Green Dragon Yanyue Sabre, a weapon that affects the balance of war, will not come out of the imagination of some players.

 

 

Sina game: NetDragon rarely launched new end games some time ago, but this time it suddenly launched a game with unique playing methods, such as "Tiger and Leopard Ride". Does it mean that NetDragon has begun to pay attention to the end game field again, and what are its plans for end games in the future?

Li Dongcheng: From the perspective of our project team, if the attempt of riding a tiger and a leopard is successful, our project team will continue to launch more new types of online games, including but not limited to end games, which is the expectation of our project team.

 

A while ago, it was popular to "escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou", and return to their hometown to live in a small town with their mouths open, their cars stretched out, their mothers cooking, and their wives warming their beds. This sounds very beautiful, and many people have followed suit. But the fact is not what you think. Soon a large number of young people will "return to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou", one of the main reasons is that your hometown does not have the industry you are good at.

 

For example, the game industry is a labor-intensive industry with a high concentration of talents, which requires a large number of employees with certain experience and ability. Therefore, most game companies have chosen to build factories in areas where game companies are relatively dense, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, to avoid labor shortage and facilitate business cooperation in the industry. If you want to engage in this industry, you must give priority to settling down in these cities. If you go home, you will have to cross industry and start all over again.

 

Is there really no other game company except Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen? Of course not. There is no absolute rule here. In this article, I have carefully selected several major cities with game industry soil besides Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. If it happens that your hometown is not one of the following cities, then you can continue to "work outside" obediently.

 

Fuzhou

When talking about Fuzhou, you should mention an important person - Xi Jinping, who served as the secretary of Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee from 1990 to 1996 and the deputy secretary of Fujian Provincial Party Committee from 1996 to 2002. NetDragon was founded in 1999, just after Xi Jinping stepped down as the secretary of Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and became the deputy secretary of Fujian Provincial Party Committee. In 2002, NetDragon's first version of Fantasy Ranger was listed. In 2003, Conquer was listed and listed in North America. In 2006, the public beta of Magic World achieved great success. In 2007, NetDragon was listed in Hong Kong, becoming one of the few listed game companies in mainland China at that time. In October 2013, NetDragon sold 91 Wireless, the largest third-party mobile application distribution platform in China, to Baidu at a price of 1.9 billion US dollars. On the basis of sufficient funds, NetDragon will transform into a "design oriented enterprise" in the future and fully develop four strategic areas, namely online games, mobile Internet, cloud office and online education.

The developer and operator of this game was Hangzhou Telesoul. The playing method of Dream Three Kingdoms is the same as that of DOTA, that is, the screen is greatly enhanced on the basis of DOTA. The hero is designed to be a familiar figure of the Three Kingdoms, making it closer to Chinese players. Later, when League of Heroes entered China, Telesoul not only held its own position, but also achieved further development. Dream of Three Kingdoms has become one of the top MOBA online games in the Chinese market besides League of Heroes.

Chengdu

 

Representative enterprise: Dreamworks Representative work: Chivalry

Address: Floor 5-7, South of Borui Creative Chengdu, No. 38, Sanse Road, Jinjiang District, Chengdu

 

Chengdu is located in the southwest, which is the only non coastal city in this article. Most of the game companies in Chengdu started late. In recent years, relying on the Chengdu Software Park, a number of game companies have been established, most of which have not yet reached the scale. The DreamWorks to be introduced in this article was founded in 2003. Qiu Xin, the general manager, once worked in Xishanju and was known as "the father of swordsman love". Unfortunately, the series of Chivalrous Way developed by DreamWorks based on swordsman love has been commercialized since 2005, and has launched several versions, but has not kept pace with the times in terms of core technology, so it is simply relying on "Chivalrous Way" In June 2009, the popular dream factory was invested by Chengdu Borui, an A-share listed company, and became one of the larger game companies in Chengdu.

 

On the whole, most of these cities are still relatively developed coastal cities. The reasons why the game companies in these cities can survive and develop under the high competition from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are different. Some are old companies that were established earlier, some are the massive support policies of local governments, and some are the cities themselves with a large number of computer talent advantages. In addition, the game companies in these regions have another advantage, that is, the stable operation cost of the staff is low, and the competitors who don't need to worry dig a lot of foot in the wall, so that the staff can dive into the game. However, the too stable environment is easy to make the staff lose their sense of competition and innovation ability, so that the company can not keep up with the pace of market progress.

 

(At the end of the year, this article is dedicated to practitioners in the industry who want to escape from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. By the way, it is a reference for teenagers who are planning to enter this industry.)
