<h4>Chapter 134: Chapter 133: Warcraft’s Update</h4>


    Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi and Qian Kun started working hard after receiving the update document.


    In truth, these RPG maps weren’t the most ssic or the most bnced, so why would Chen Mo pick these maps?


    It’s because these represented the Warcraft RPGs that eventually branched off. These were prototypes of the ssic Warcraft RPG, allowing the yers to enjoy the fun of Warcraft RPG maps while not restricting their thinking.


    Warcraft RPG maps eventually gave birth to DotA. Chen Mo didn’t want to shoot his own foot by giving map designers the inspiration to make something like that.


    Defence map: Protect Athena


    Defence maps were really simple, and yet managed to have the essence of Warcraft RPG games: Herobinations and Hero training. As time goes on, the enemies will get stronger and stronger, and the yers’ objective would be to find the bestbination across numerous Heroes and items.


    Tower defence map: Tower Defence.


    This game came from ssic tower defence games from his previous life. The core of tower defence games are simr to defence maps, the difference being yers would need to pick towers instead of Heroes.


    Casual map: Escape Pyramid.


    This map was representative of casual maps. The yers could pick from ten different modes and beat the game by dodging various traps.


    PvP map: Chenghai 3c.


    Compared to DotA, Chenghai 3c was quite primitive. It’s biggest problem was bncing, and yet it was also the fact that it wasn’t bnced that made it so popr. Many yers yed Chenghai 3c imba(imbnced) just because of how imbnced it was.


    At the same time, yers could y as multiple heroes, which bnced out some of the imbnce, making it an extremely entertaining map.


    Chen Mo decided to only release three maps, leaving the others for the yers toe up with themselves.


    —


    The new version didn’t take long at all, and was finished in under two weeks.


    There were many different maps in Warcraft’s campaign, and the three of them have worked on them too. Therefore it wasn’t difficult for them to make the maps as they were already quite familiar with the editor. Most of the time was spent bncing the abilities as well as the difficulty of the levels.


    Chen Mo mentioned specifically that the heroes in the RPG raps have to bepletely different from the ones in versus mode. They need to match the heroes while being new ideas.


    This required a lot of thinking from the three of them, but their imaginations were stimted in the process, making it quite fulfilling.


    Especially Qian Kun who was basically responsible for all of Chenghai 3c. Chen Mo was especially happy as it was pretty close to the quality of the one in previous life.


    Chen Mo did onest check of the three maps, “Alright, it’s good.”


    “Yes! We’re done!” eximed Su Jinyu.


    Zheng Hongxi said, “But it felt pretty easy.”


    “Manager, this new patch feelsckluster. Although it seems fun, are the yers going to be happy? I feel like these maps don’t evene close to the game content.” asked Qian Kun.


    “Don’t worry. Hongxi, could you work on the match notes then push the update?” ordered Chen Mo.


    It didn’t take long for the patch notes to be done. Su Jinyu then posted the patch and the patch notes.


    This patch was pretty small, there was only one extra cinematic, improvements on some foundations of the game, as well as the three RPG maps.


    As the production of the cinematic takes a long time, it could only be pushed one by one. The patch would look sad without the cinematics, as it would be less than one megabyte.


    Oh maybe very sad would be a better world.


    Of course, Chen Mo could pad out the update with new encounters in the campaign, but yers had their focus on Versus mode with little attention paid to more encounters, which was why Chen Mo decided against it.


    Chen Mo didn’t want to charge for this patch, nor did he n to charge for future maps.


    As there was so little game content, it wouldn’t be good if he sold it as DLCs.


    He could also charge per map, for example when a yer makes a good map, the other yers could pay one or two RMB for each, and the money would be split between Chen Mo and the maker.


    But Chen Mo still decided against this.


    It was simple, obviously they couldn’t start charging for the map from the start as it would never gain poprity. But it wouldn’t make sense to chargeter either, why was it free at the start, and it starts costing money when it gets popr?


    Therefore, although charging for maps would be good for the map makers, yers would be less inclined to y them, which waspletely against the point of Warcraft RPG maps.


    Chen Mo wasn’t making RPG maps for healthy development of the gaming industry or anything, but to further boost the sales of the game.


    RPG maps were a great reason for a group of friends to stay upte. Chen Mo’s intentions were to draw in non-RTS yers, as their friends who y Warcraft would get them to get the game in order to y these RPG maps.


    Moreover, RPG maps would further extend the lifespan of Warcraft, as it continues to grow and expand, paving the way for future PC games.


    —


    After some simple preparations, Warcraft finally got a new update!


    Although this update was fairly low key, only made known to the yers via a patch note.


    Many yers noticed a new patch when they logged into the game.


    “Huh? New version? Chen Mo sure is efficient!”


    “Yeah, Warcraft was already doing quite well with no bncing issues. Was there a need for a patch?”


    “He’s so nice! Wow, is this the Chen Mo I once new? I’m so grateful I’m about to cry!”


    “Yeah, howe he’s so nice all of a sudden.”


    “So what did he include in the patch?”


    Many of the yers startedining upon seeing the patch notes.


    “My goodness, what’s this? One cinematic, a few settings update, and a few new maps?”


    “Are you kidding me?”


    “How is this a new patch? Chen Mo? Do we have different understandings of patches?”


    “At least it’s free...”


    “How dare he charge for something like this. That would be unreasonable!”


    “I just watched the new cinematic, it’s great!”


    “So is the new cinematic the only good thing from this new update?”


    “So is Thunderbolt Entertainment rebranding to Thunderbolt Movies?”


    “Do you guys produce games or movies?!”
