"Can I have a look at this game?" boss Jia suddenly asked.
"This..." Mike moweimi and Alan Adhan looked at each other. To be honest, boss Jia's request was very abrupt.
Because this is a game still under development, and Jia Yapeng is not an employee of the company, but the boss of another game company, so from any point of view, these two can't allow boss Jia to enjoy his unfinished works.
But maybe they really like Pokemon too much. They are too simple at this time. Finally, they agreed to boss Jia's request, turned on the computer and entered a game still under development.
This is a very simple game in the eyes of boss Jia. At the beginning of the game, there is no top animation CG used by Blizzard, and the task prompt at the beginning of the game is just two pixels sitting in front of a table and chatting constantly.
"The two speakers, one is Ryan Urien, the king of storm City, and the other is Lothar Anduin, the hero of the human kingdom. Because there are orcs around the Kingdom recently, the king is going to send Lothar Anduin to rebuild the dilapidated town in a place called Shanjin Town, and then organize an army to protect the stronghold!"
Because the production has not been completed yet, the two chat people have neither made any sound nor any subtitles, so mcmohuami can only act as a temporary interpreter to explain the plot and background story of this dialogue to Jia Yapeng.
"Storm City King... Ryan Urien... Lotsa Anduin... And Shanjin town..." hearing these familiar names, boss Jia remembered that he had been addicted to the world of Warcraft. When he saw that the world in front of him was just being built, boss Jia had a sense of sacredness.
This is my countless childhood and youth!
"We have designed a world called Azeroth. This world has magical races such as humans, elves, trolls and all kinds of magical powers, but there are no orcs in this world." I think boss Jia may not understand what he said before, so mark Mohamed further introduces the world view background of the whole game.
"Later, there was a very powerful mage named Medivh in the human world. He was tempted by an evil force, opened the channel connecting the orc world and let the orcs in, so the story of the war between humans and orcs began!"
"Finally, Lothar Anduin will defeat the evil force, kill Medivh, and then help the king defend storm City, defeat most of the orcs and drive the orcs back to their world, but there will still be a small number of orcs living in other places and accumulating strength!" mcmohumi quickly said the end.
"Wait... What are you talking about? Storm city is holding?" boss Jia was stunned.
"Yes! Storm city is guarded!" mcmohumi also looked at Jia Yapeng blankly. Is there any doubt?
"Well, it's all for the alliance!" boss Jia said a word that Mike moweimi didn't understand.
Next, we enter the screen of the actual game. This is the first level of the Terran battle of the game. All people seem to be composed of pixels. The screen is very simple. The map is a khaki yellow, with some colored pictures pasted on it, and about half of the screen is the control panel of the game, which is used to display all kinds of information in the game.
However, this is very simple in the eyes of boss Jia. For the whole 1993, this picture has been a very good computer game picture. At least it looks stronger than the picture of Pokemon.
However, the picture is not the focus. The focus is that boss Jia has clearly seen many things that have a far-reaching impact on the future, especially the childhood of Jia Yapeng's generation.
For example, a gold mine that can only provide mining for up to 5 farmers (it is useless to put more farmers).
Another example is a tree that can be knocked around by farmers.
And the familiar Terran infantry and orc infantry.
A residence that can provide 6 people, etc.
Moreover, all the animation maps are almost in the same line with the three generations. From these simple patterns, Jia Yapeng can clearly see the shadow of the future of Warcraft 3, which makes boss Jia excited.
"This is the first battle level we designed. It's relatively simple. It's mainly to make players familiar with the operation of our game..." Mike Mohamed said, and then found that the audience nearby seemed to tremble.
"Mr. Jia, are you not feeling well? Otherwise, I'll take you to my house to have a rest!" asked Mike Mohamed with concern.
"No, I'm just excited when I think of something!" boss Jia took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Boss Jia is not excited. You know, the game in front of us is the first generation of Warcraft, Warcraft: humans and orcs!
How important is Warcraft to the world of the game?
Let's say that the emergence of Warcraft brought the later StarCraft, and the peak of Warcraft series, Warcraft 3.
A map editor in Warcraft 3 has brought a popular game all over the world: dota.
And dota has evolved two online games that dominate the world: dota2 and hero alliance.
But this is not the most important. The most important thing is that Warcraft and StarCraft, two real-time strategy games, have created an unprecedented E-sports market.
Although as early as 1986, the world's first E-sports competition began with the joint organization of Nintendo and American ABC television.
But this has never become the mainstream, and what really attracted a lot of attention to E-sports is the first WCG world E-sports competition in 2000, the first world-class E-sports competition.
However, WCG was not very attractive at this time, until StarCraft and Warcraft were popular all over the world, and its strong competitiveness and appreciation quickly attracted the attention of a large number of players around the world, and finally made E-sports famous at home and abroad.
Although WCG was suspended later, a series of highly professional leagues and world competitions, such as hero League, dota2 and watchman pioneer, completely pushed E-sports to the peak.
By 2020, E-sports has surpassed all traditional competitions and become the most watched competition.
The beginning of all this is in front of this small computer, which is called Warcraft: human and orc game.
"What's the name of this game?" boss Jia asked again.
"We really haven't figured it out yet..." Mike mowami said with a bitter smile.
"Why don't I give him a name? It's called Warcraft: human and orc!" boss Jia said directly.
"Warcraft..." Mike moweimi and Alan Adhan suddenly looked at each other. Although it was the first time they heard the name, they didn't know why, but they felt that the name was so familiar, as if it was engraved in their bones. It was just a name that came out of their mind.
"Good name!" Mike mohuami couldn't help praising. After praising, he looked at Jia Yapeng strangely.
Just now it's OK to enjoy the game that hasn't been sold in advance. Now it's even arranged to name the game. What does the chairman of Daqian group want to do?
What's the reason why he came all the way here?
"Guys, are you short of money?" boss Jia said faintly in the inexplicable eyes of Mike Mohamed and Alan Adhan.
