    E3获奖MMO进中国:专访[神秘传奇]开发商

    Posted by*Cristian*on 2014.11.24

    GameLook报道/随着国内一系列的端游厂商进入手游领域,MMORPG在国内收入榜地位逐渐上升,随着多款手游MMO高收入 作品的不断出现,相信很多人都看到了移动端MMO的‘钱景’。在看多了国内厂商的百花齐放之后让我们把目光 投向海外欧美市场。最近, 上海激乐(简称G3)准备把一款获得过E3最佳游戏奖的海外MMO手游《神秘传奇》(Arca ne Lengeds)推向中国市场,而这款游戏的开发商Spacetime Studios在MMO游戏研发领域已经有很多年的经验。

    那么,和中国同类产品相比,这款《神秘传奇》究竟有什么样的特点,欧美开发者在做移动MMO时是如何思考的 ?《神秘传奇》未来在中国又会有着怎样的变化?带着这些问题,GameLook连线Space time Studios工作室的CEO Gary Gattis进行了采访,以下是GameLook的独家专访稿:




    Spacetime Studios公司CEO Gary Gattis

    首先,请向GameLook的读者们介绍下您自己和Spacetime工作室

    Spacetime成立于2005年,我叫Gary Gattis,是公司CEO,我们当时创建公司是为NcSoft研发一款大型MMO,虽然这个项目没有做成 ,但我们积累了技术,随后在2010年做出了Pocket Lengeds,这是安卓平台上第一款3D MMO手游,我们还发布了3款其他的MMO和3款战斗游戏,所以我们上线了7款游戏,都是面向全球玩家,跨 Android,iOS和PC平台,而且玩家们所在的是同一个服务器,玩家们的网络情况各异,有wifi, 3G,4G,即便是网络延迟很高的地区,我们依然可以保证游戏内的实时数据连接,几乎除了中国之外的其他地 区都有我们的玩家,所以这也是我们今天要说的话题。

    你们成立以来就一直在做MMO吗?

    是的,我们几乎是整个职业生涯都在做MMO,我们的一些成员还参与研发过《网络创世纪》(Ul tima Online,1996年发布)这样非常老的MMO。

    我们注意到欧美市场的MMORPG手游并不多,您认为这是什么原因呢?

    我觉得在移动设备上做MMO游戏是非常困难的,有许多的技术障碍,手游MMO和常规MMO的不同是,他们之 间有不同的玩法,尽管玩法不同,但却需要同样的游戏结构,所以你依然需要良好的社区,客户支持,以及其他大 型MMO中所具有的很多元素,这是一种非常复杂的游戏类型,并不是那么容易去做,要做出让玩家满意的作品就 更不容易了。

    欧美手游玩家对于MMO的接受度怎么样,能否谈下欧美MMO玩家们的游戏习惯?

    我们的玩家很多都是第一次接触MMO类游戏,我们的MMO比PC平台上更休闲化,而且移动设备相比PC来说 ,更受休闲玩家的喜爱。在欧美市场,我们的玩家更倾向于免费玩法,他们不想游戏中出现太多的P ay-to-Win因素,虽然我们的游戏中的确有些东西是为了付费的玩家而设计,但这些物品不会影响游戏的平衡,所以不 会让玩家们感到不公平。

    我们的玩家通常每天在游戏中的时间是1-2个小时,所以他们投入的时间还是很多的。因为游戏的玩法设计对于玩家来说非常易于上手,所以每局游戏的时 间非常短。不过,如果你想体验更多,也可以玩很久很久,很多玩家都是这样的。

    这款游戏是不是2012年发布的?到目前有多少用户,收入状况如何?

    游戏是在12年底上线的,目前这款游戏在iOS和Android平台的总下载量突破了1500万,所以我们 已经有很多的用户。收入情况目前还是不错的,具体的说,我们现在有50名员工,而且处于盈利状态,单是这一 款游戏就给到我们足够的收入让公司不断的发展。


    正在修改中的《神秘传奇》中文版

    你们为什么选择现在进入中国市场?《神秘传奇》和中国MMO有什么不同点?

    我们现在想进入中国,是因为目前中国市场规模非常大,而且增速也非常的快,玩家们也非常喜欢这类(MMO) 游戏。我觉得《神秘传奇》和中国MMO不同的是,更倾向于动作,而且游戏时长较短。

    那么《神秘传奇》的每次游戏时长大概是多久?

    玩家们平均每天游戏时间1-2小时,每天游戏次数2-3次,但我们的游戏设计是每局游戏5分钟左右。

    也就是说,游戏是为移动设备玩家,也就是休闲玩家设计的对吗?

    从表面来看,是非常休闲的。但从MMO角度来说,我们的玩法,角色养成,经济系统等等是非常有深度的,所以 《神秘传奇》这款游戏非常容易上手,但其实游戏内的系统是非常深度的。

    我发现这是一款神话题材的MMO,能否介绍下游戏的故事背景?

    游戏的故事发生在2000年前,一个恶魔被打败并且被囚禁在了地球上,但随着封印的消失,恶魔们再次出现, 人们无计可施,所以希望英雄出现,也就是玩家们,帮助他们战胜恶魔。

    《神秘传奇》的核心特色是什么?

    《神秘传奇》是一款非常易于上手的MMO,有着非常深度的动作和RPG元素,还有以游戏物品为基础的经济系 统,而且非常社交化,我们有城镇,地牢等等,我们有大量的玩家数据,所以在匹配玩家的时候会把能力相似的玩 家安排到一起。所以玩家会经常遇到有相同任务的其他玩家,他们可以组队共同完成任务,所以这可以给玩家们带 来非常强大的社交体验。

    你们为什么选择G3(上海激乐)作为中国地区的发行商?

    起初是我们的投资者介绍的,G3在AL之前也有将其他的好游戏带去中国,我们和他们的合作和沟通越多,就发 现我们越喜欢和G3合作。他们的团队非常不错,而且他们很多人在美国和中国从事游戏研发多年,所以他们对于 游戏研发的看法和我们有非常多的共同语言,所以我们去旧金山和他们碰面,见到之后我们非常高兴,我们有相似 的目标,有同样的工作方式,所以我们试着一起工作,而且这个过程非常开心。

    你们合作中最为难忘的事情是什么?

    当时David带我们吃了顿非常可口的晚餐(笑),但我觉得最棒的是,我们有共同的目标,我们的目标是在中 国发布优秀的游戏,他们非常积极的给我们提供游戏修改意见,为了适应中国市场他们提出了很多的建议。他们希 望向中国玩家传递最好的游戏,这和我们的目标是一致的,所以我觉得最难忘的是,我们为了相同的目标而努力合 作的过程。

    《神秘传奇》的研发用了多久?团队规模有多大?

    我们的首款游戏Pocket Legends当时只有6个人,用了6个月的时间研发,但这和《神秘传奇》比起来是非常小的,《神秘传奇》 的研发团队是20人,用了15个月的时间完成研发。

    和其他的手游相比,15个月的研发时间是相当长的。

    是的,这是个很大的游戏,结构比较复杂,我们知道自己要做什么,所以用了蛮久的时间完成研发。我们后来还补 充了很多的内容,最初游戏发布只有20级,现在我们扩展到了46级,我们研发完成之后至少发布了5次大的更 新而且一直在假日举行活动,所以我们一直在运营这款游戏。

    游戏的安装包非常小,游戏中的世界结构是什么?

    游戏的安装包非常小,所以对于设备硬件性能和网络连接的要求很低,但同时我们在游戏中制作了数十个各具特色 的副本和城镇,这得益于我们积累的技术。每个城镇都是一个社交场所,都有40-50个玩家进行交流,我们按照等级把玩家们分布在不同的城镇,玩家们可以四五个人组队共同任务,完成任务之 后会解锁新的城镇,玩家们还可以回到主城和更多人交流,所以游戏是由不同的社交场所组成的。

    我注意到游戏中并没有小地图,而中国的大多数MMO游戏都有小地图或者任务指引之类的功能,你们是否考虑进 入中国后进行改进呢?

    肯定会的,这个问题是我们和G3正在努力解决的问题,小地图和任务指引都会为中国玩家推出。

    请介绍下这款游戏的货币化系统,玩家们都在哪些方面进行消费?

    货币化系统和其他的MMO非常类似,玩家可以购买物品,培养宠物等等,是以游戏道具为基础的游戏经济体系, 所以玩家们会购买一些商城物品,主要是可以帮助他们提高游戏体验的增值道具。

    我在玩游戏的时候注意到,游戏内可购买的物品不算非常多,你们的设计思路是怎样的?

    这个问题我们也注意到了,我们在和G3合作,希望推出更多的物品,包括更多的装备和宠物、更多的时装和翅膀 、VIP系统等等,我们知道中国玩家需要更多的内容,所以我们目前还在努力做货币化系统的扩展 。

    中文版会不会有一些大的变化,会不会为中国玩家制作特别的内容呢?

    最大的变动就是UI,任务,以及经济系统方面的改进,还有为忠实玩家设计的VIP奖励系统等等。我们会为中 国玩家做特别的内容,我们为G3提供了完整的工具,让他们做特别的内容。

    我注意到游戏的角色都非常的欧美化,你们有没有考虑为中国玩家做一些变化呢?

    是的,对于中国玩家来说,游戏里的角色可能会看起来有点奇怪,所以我们请G3为中国玩家重新制作了法师角色 ,我觉得他们做的很不错。

    你们对《神秘传奇》在中国的期待是什么?

    这个我也不太好说(笑),或许这个答案你们(中国玩家)可以告诉我。我们对此非常乐观,我们第一年的希望是 ,为中国玩家带来一款优秀而且有趣的游戏,希望为中国市场推出一款具有吸引力的MMO手游产品 。

    Probably yes. And you know what each button does already so it shouldn't be an issue.

    Well... RIP smurfs....

    Overall, if this is real, this is kinda BS, they get all the better treatment ..... They even have wings.....

    Easy Eugene! We'll be implementing some of these systems in the US version as well. Smurfs will stay for the rest of the world. China will get some unique content (specifically geared towards them).

    It will be two separate games, with separate servers. Theirs will be hosted inside of China, and would not make a good play experience for folks outside of China.

    With game development studios in Shanghai, China, and western offices in San Francisco, CA, G3 provides a complete solution to enable western game developers to reach the China market. G3 will fully “culturalize” Arcane Legends in its Shanghai development studio by adjusting graphical content, UI, monetization mechanics, and a myriad of other key elements.

And finally, G3 will operate Arcane Legends on an ongoing basis in China, supplying the game with live services, content updates, and community management.

    The important stuff

    Keith McCurdy, CEO at Golden Gate Games (G3), “We are excited and eager to bring Arcane Legends to the China market. Clearly the mobile market is expanding at a very fast pace in China, and MMOs have traditionally been a very popular genre of gaming in China. The Spacetime Studio team has created by far the best MMO on mobile in the west and we are confident the China market will be very eager to play it as well.” Gary Gattis, CEO at Spacetime Studios, “We spoke to several partners about bringing our game, Arcane Legends, to China, and the team at Golden Gate Game clearly had the experience, knowledge, and product development skills to make the changes that were needed to both maintain our high level of quality and address the uniqueness of the China market. We really value that G3 are game developers just like we are, and they work using the same methodology and process as we do here at our studio in the U.S. There is a great level of trust between the two teams.”
    About Golden Gate Games (G3) Based in San Francisco, CA and Shanghai, China, Golden Gate Games (G3) is a leading mobile game development and publishing company focused on bringing western games to China. G3 has a proven management team co-founded by a previous executive from Electronic Arts and a serial game entrepreneur in China, who combined have over 40 years of game industry leadership and 13 years of game studio management in China. G3 works with western mobile game developers to culturalize their games in the G3 Shanghai studio and then publish those games via a wide range of app stores, operators, and distribution channels in China. http://www.GoldenGateGames.com

    Please please please can we get those sweet mages here?

    You know that the mage has become a mockery in AL and there are some changes in store for us next year, would be a fresh start for the class if you also adopted an updated look for them! The design is already done, can you consider it for next year?
