The news of “Black Desert Handicap” taking the national version number has sparked a lot of attention in the game circle, but after successfully taking the version number but the delay in seeing the national service online, more or less let people a little disappointed. In recent days, a virtual person named Diana has brought the latest news of “Black Desert Mobile” for the industry and many players who are waiting for it.
According to reports and social platform related information, the virtual person named Diana (Diana: Moon Goddess) was set as a black sand witch born from the game but grew up in the intertwining of the black sand universe and the real world, this time coming to the real world to find the lost black boy.
The official crossing video and posters have triggered a wave of netizens’ second creation as soon as they were released, and well-known bloggers such as Tianxiubot and Liu Kan Kan also joined in. With this kind of circle boom, Diana was successfully transformed into the official welfare information “spokesperson” of “Black Desert Handicraft” and made a sound for the launch of the handicraft national service in advance.
The latest channel dynamics, “black desert hand game” has opened the advance experience. At the same time since last August to open the domestic Android end of the reservation, recently also officially on the Apple AppStore to open the national reservation. In accordance with the usual, this series of actions are revealing that “black desert hand game” national service is not far from the official public test.
This next-generation MMO hand game developed by South Korean developer Pearl Abyss has been performing very eye-catchingly since its launch overseas in 2018. According to Jeonghee Jin, CEO of Pearl Abyss North America, revealed at a communication meeting in 2020, “Black Desert Hand Game” officially released in less than 2 months has gained more than 20 million downloads; and in June last year, the global users accumulated more than 40 million, which included 22 million handheld users.
In the market success, “Black Desert Handicap” also harvested a good reputation, 2018 after the launch can be said to get awards to get soft, and the most intuitive player comments at present, TapTap reservation interface under the praise of the players are not lacking.
On the eve of the launch of the national service, review the road of success of this next-generation MMO hand game, for the domestic game industry that is in the boom of going abroad, may be able to get some new ideas from it.
Next-generation high-quality products, quality is the only pass
The only standard to conquer the players is the excellent quality of the game. In the MMO track with serious homogenization, “Black Desert Handheld” polishes the game quality from the theme, screen to gameplay, and makes certain differentiation in the details, which has established a considerable advantage in the fierce market competition.
First of all, the subject matter, Western fantasy theme in the domestic but relatively few, but this subject matter undoubtedly has a strong appeal, “Lord of the Rings” “Song of Ice and Fire” and other Western epics in the country has a small audience, “World of Warcraft” in the domestic influence does not need to be repeated.
The Black Desert Handbook also builds a medieval Western fantasy worldview, telling the story of the struggle between two major forces around the Black Desert’s unique resource, the Black Stone. For domestic players who are already aesthetically tired, the emergence of a good-looking Western fantasy theme in a crowd of homogenized MMO products is undoubtedly attractive.
In terms of the art style and picture quality, “Black Desert Handicraft” has created a next-generation picture quality that is not inferior to that of end-game.
The game introduces a set of extremely free face pinching system, adding more detail adjustment options under the common five features adjustment, such as a single eye, adjustable details are eye size, pupil size and color, eye shadow, eyelashes, etc., a high degree of customization options make face pinching become the first immersion of players into the game. At present, on the B site, the “Black Desert” face pinching sharing video up to 17 pages, many players in the game using the face pinching system to restore the classic role of each field, play is not too happy.
In Pearl Abyss self-developed engine “BlackSpace Engine” support, exquisite realistic art style is not only reflected in the character modeling, the scene settings are also outstanding. Forests, grasslands, deserts, snow and other real-world scenes based on the restoration of the game scene closer to reality, magnificent buildings and lofty mountains built up visual spectacle also in the extreme light, material simulation and other details polished to bring players a more high-quality visual experience, in terms of picture quality performance, “Black Desert hand game” is really the best in the works of the same generation.
The emergence of “Black Desert Mobile” also broke the stereotypical image of Korean MMOs that are criticized for their “weak sense of combat” and “pile output”.
The game has a set of excellent action module, the position of the player character and the monster in the battle will move slightly with the battle, while the traditional 2.5D top-down view lock, allowing players to freely adjust the angle, these detailed changes to make the battle more in line with our conventional perception, making the whole battle process looks very smooth, with the vibration of the cell phone screen and the skill release Special effects performance, to give the player immediate operational feedback, greatly enhancing the game’s sense of combat and combat experience. In order to match the cell phone touch screen operation feel, the complex rubbing set in the end game is also removed in the hand game, replaced by the virtual button skill output, to a certain extent, also improve the comfort of the hand game operation.
At the core gameplay level, “Black Desert Handheld” builds up a multi-level gameplay integrating exciting adventure and casual simulation with its large and free enough world map.
Players who like to fight can find a variety of copies in the field, PVP union war is to provide a stage to show hard strength; tired of fighting want to relax, but also in the map to experience the fun of logging, fishing, gathering, etc., personal territory construction dress and let the game has a touch of simulation management flavor.
Personal territory construction
Happy fishing
From these gameplay designs, we can also see that “Black Desert Handicap” is trying to solve a lot of pain points of MMO nowadays, and it is also a response to the changing demands of players.
In response to players’ complaints that playing MMO is like “working”, the game has a built-in free trade system, all resources can be freely circulated in the in-game exchange, saving players the trouble of liver materials all over the map; the addition of the hang-up system allows players to enjoy the game when they are busy with life and work; personal territory construction The addition of personal territory construction and simulation management gameplay provides a variety of game options for different players. These rich and diversified gameplay, while attracting all kinds of players, also invariably enhance the user stickiness of players.
Artisanal operation, giving players long-lasting companionship
For all MMO products, how to do a good job of long-term operation is not a small problem. In addition to the basic quality assurance of the product itself, the operation method also determines the life span of the product.
Black Desert Handheld has been online overseas for 4 years, and the excellent results achieved in these 4 years are enough to prove its excellent product quality. In the long term operation level, “Black Desert” also has a remarkable performance, after reviewing the operation management of “Black Desert” each end platform, I believe that the upcoming “Black Desert hand game” hand game national service will bring us more surprises.
First of all, from the recent appearance of Diana can at least see that “Black Desert Handicap” did not trap itself in the past honor of stagnation. As a recent hot spot in the marketing market, virtual human is not only a reflection of its own technical innovation ability, but also a demonstration of its way of thinking to follow the pace of the times. With the image of Diana, the product tone of “Black Desert Handicap” is also established with the times, which makes players have more confidence in the quality of the subsequent product content updates.
Black Desert Handheld” overseas version, for example, currently has up to 17 types of occupations in the handheld game such as berserker, ranger, witch swordsman, and is still being updated and expanded. The upcoming version of the national service will also launch the first role and Chinese dubbing, which shows the importance attached to the Chinese market.
The update performance of “Black Desert Handicap” on all platforms does not disappoint. In addition to the regular server maintenance, the game worldview and gameplay are also constantly enriched, with new maps, new professions, new copies, new plot tasks, etc. constantly added, so that players have a new game experience after each update; the host and PC side are in the long operation, with a large number of well-known IP to start the linkage For example, the linkage with the famous anime “Legend of Swordwind” and the American drama “Spell of Destiny” has achieved a good publicity effect. And these operating experience, no doubt will also add to the operation of the hand game national service.
After the launch of “Black Desert Handicap” handicraft Chinese service may become a “stirring” dark horse, the silent MMO market needs a new product to stir the market vitality, aesthetic fatigue of players also need such a work to help regain enthusiasm for MMO, no matter from which perspective this is a good thing. As to what kind of results it can achieve in the domestic market, we can only wait and see.
