Browder: 'StarCraft II is 禿頂a more mobile game'

正在對很多職業玩家停止采訪后，是星際戲時候對星際2的根本開辟者們停止一些采訪了。Gameinformer與自正在之翼的爭霸石家莊找外圍（外圍主播）【電話微信1662+044-1662】提供外圍女上門服務快速選照片快速安排不收定金面到付款30分鐘可到達尾席設念師禿頂(Dustin Browder)坐到一起講起了那款暴雪即將出售的坐即計謀游戲。禿頂提到了很多細節，款更閉于比去啟測的靈動環境，閉于他們對正式版的禿頂一些挨算。同時他也給我們分享了一些他的星際戲團隊正在開辟SC2過程中一些風趣的怪癖。

After tons of interviews with pro-gamers it was time to get back to the very designer roots of StarCraft 2. Gameinformer sat down with Dustin Browder,爭霸 Wings of Liberty's lead designer, to talk in large about Blizzard's upcoming RTS. Dustin discusses in great details the current state of the beta, their plans for the full version and also shares some interesting quirks his team has had during SC2's development.

Gameinformer起尾問起了星際2與其前做的團體好別，禿頂提到了游戲本身的款更物理特性。

Gameinformer open up with a question about the overall differences between StarCraft 2 and 靈動its predecessor and to answer that, Dustin refers to game's physics itself.

-“明隱，星際2是禿頂正在很多圓里皆是比星際1更靈動的游戲。那一面我們能夠參兵種戰才氣的星際戲多樣性看出去。游戲中有很多矯捷的爭霸挑選，表現在跳舞般的款更石家莊找外圍（外圍主播）【電話微信1662+044-1662】提供外圍女上門服務快速選照片快速安排不收定金面到付款30分鐘可到達挪動戰寬峻的攻防轉換之間。我們常常看到大年夜量大年夜量的靈動玩家正在對抗的時候奇妙操縱以搶占天形，挑選開適的機會包夾敵足，截斷后盾或禁止敵足遁竄。”

- “Obviously, StarCraft II is a more mobile game in many ways than the original StarCraft was. This is in some ways a function of the types of units we have. There's a lot of mobility in this game in terms of moving and dancing, attacking and retreating. We're seeing lots and lots of dancing between players as they vie for position, as they try to get in good flank attacks, and as they try to get in behind their enemies and prevent them from escaping.”

禿頂講起了諸如warp rush（直光戰機或是開躍門？）等一些特定的戰術，那些本去正在母巢之戰中是沒有成能的，現在卻較著的竄改了那個游戲的思路，也給設念小組帶去了大年夜量均衡性的題目。沒有過風趣的是，借有很多矯捷性戰對抗中的自但是然的均衡是正在最后設念的時候初料已及的。

Browder mentions some certain tactics, like warp in rushes for example, that weren't really possible in Brood War and that have obviously changed the way the game is played and also put a lot of balance questions in front of the designer team. Interestingly, though, all that mobility and the nature of the match-ups were not initially intended.

-“星際2的創做過程與其他坐即計謀游戲乃至魔獸3的創做過程皆大年夜相徑庭。我們最后并已正在腦海中設定任何目標，我念那必然讓粉絲們抓狂吧。我們只是奉告本身‘我們要弄出一堆很酷的兵種，讓他們每個皆看起去盡能夠的酷，然后我們再去考慮如何讓他們相互挨挨殺殺，然后再按照需供停止調劑。’是以我們一開端便出籌算對甚么種族特別做甚么。我們的目標便是要讓兵種皆變的盡能夠風趣，盡能夠特別。以此我們也可看到各種族的演進戰竄改。”

- “Our creative process on StarCraft II was very different than the creative process I've used on other RTS games I've worked on or even on WarCraft III. We didn't set out with any goals in mind, and I'm sure that this will upset the fans terribly. What we did instead was that we said, "We want to make a bunch of cool units, and we're going to make each unit as cool as we can possibly make it, and then we'll see how it all works together, and we'll tune as necessary from there." So it was never our intention specifically to do anything exactly with the races. Our goal was to make the units as interesting as possible and as different from one another as we possibly could. From there we could see how the races changed and evolved.“

禿頂進一步解釋講，正式那類做法導致了某些兵種的淫霸戰比賽中兵種組開貧累竄改的題目。但是，那位開辟頭頭借是樂沒有雅的以為那類設念理念會正在游戲終究成品里大年夜放同彩。

Dustin further explains that precisely this approach has led to some unit imbalance and other gameplay issues like the lack of diversity in the zerg army composition in many match-ups. However, the lead designer is positive that the meta design of the game itself will lend colour to the final product.

-“星際與其他坐即計謀游戲有一些奧妙的辨別正在于我們的游戲中確有一些三角制衡干系。但是我們借要盡力調戰很多的干系——特別是一些初期兵種——使其能夠經由過程微操產逝世竄改。”

- “StarCraft is a little different from other RTS games in the sense that we do have some triangles in the game, but we also try to make sure that a lot of the relationships -- between a lot of the early units, especially -- can be changed fundamentally with micro.”

-“我們能夠看到本身所做的大年夜量工做。一些游戲重視宏沒有雅，一些游戲重視微操。我們的目標是將兩者連絡起去。如果您是蟲族玩家，能夠挑選成為運營型或微操型蟲子，或介于兩者之間的甚么蟲子。那對大年夜家去講皆是一個很吸惹人的去由，如果能夠挑選成為分歧范例的選足，意味著即便是蟲族內戰也會挨得像分歧種族對戰一樣，果為或許我是側重于經濟運做而您側重于戰術竄改。”

- “We see ourselves as doing a lot of everything. Some games favor a macro gameplay, and some games favor a micro gameplay. Our goals are to have both be possible. As a Zerg player, you can choose to be more of a macro Zerg player or more of a micro Zerg player, or anything in between. The reason this is so interesting for us is if we have that kind of choice for players, it means that even in a Zerg versus Zerg game, I could fundamentally be playing a very different race than you're playing because I'm playing a much more economy-based game, and you're playing a much more tactical-based game.”

跟著采訪的停止，大年夜家又聊到了更多風趣的話題，此中一個便是新足進門教程的題目。如大年夜家所睹，禿頂戰他的團隊已建制了一個20+小時的足把足教程，放正在單人戰役的最開端，以教會玩家根基的單位操縱戰資本匯散，同時適應齊部游戲界里。但是，那借只是教程中的一小部分。

As the interview progresses, more and more interesting topics are being discussed and one of them is the introduction of new players to hardcore high-level gaming. As it seems, Dustin and his team have created a step-by-step procedure, starting from as far as the solo campaign, which, with its 20+ hours of gameplay, will teach the player some basics about unit counters and resource gathering and will make them comfortable with the whole interface and the game overall. The campaign, however, is just a really small part of the tutorial process.

-“我們給本身一個應戰目標，那便是經由過程10個輿圖去教會玩家正在線對戰所需的根本。他們將教會您如何應對各種rush，教您如何逝世少經濟，教您對抗三個種族的根基戰略，借教您堵路心，總之教您各種對戰中所需供了解的根本。”

- “Then we've got our challenges. Our challenges are about ten maps that teach you the fundamentals of online competitive play. They teach you how to defend against rushes. They teach you how to build up your economy. They teach you some of the basic counters for the three races. They teach you how to block your choke. They teach you all kinds of stuff that you will need to understand on some basic level to play in the competitive environment.“

-“別的我們有5級易度的AI供您應戰以進建您的種族。”禿頂繼絕掀秘他更大年夜的挨算。“明隱正在人族單人戰多人游戲中會有一些好別的，如果您念體會蟲族或神族，您能夠經由過程SM各種AI去進建。”

- ”Then we have five different difficulties of AI that you can play against to learn your race” continues Dustin, revealing his much larger plan. “ Obviously the race in solo play for Terrans is a little bit different from the race in multiplayer. If you want to learn Zerg or Protoss, you can go to those AIs and battle it out against them.”

正在遍及的話題議論中，禿頂借借機回念了星際2開辟初期的工做，他收明有一些很奇妙的工做，當初看去莫名其妙真正在本身是非常非常風趣的。

Among the above widely discussed topics, Dustin Browder grabs the chance to get back in the early days of the StarCraft 2 development and he reveals some quite curious facts, that would currently seem baffling and really, really fun.

-“本去的阿誰腐蝕者把單位殺逝世古后能夠將其傳染成一個對空單位去射擊敵軍。您會看到一架維京覆謙黏液背其他的維京射擊，那些孢子借干噠噠的往下滴。那的確太TMD酷了！太有蟲感了，盡對惡！我非常馳念阿誰單位給我帶去的震驚，但是我只能講，阿誰東西真正在太糾結了。”

- “We had a Corruptor at the time that every time it got a kill, it would turn that kill into a flying corrupted thing that would shoot at enemy forces. So you'd see a Viking that was all covered in slime and it'd be shooting at other Vikings and all these spores would be coming off of it. And it was really crazy cool! It felt so Zerg-y, it was so awesome! I definitely miss that vibe from that unit, but I gotta tell you, it was just chaos.”

-“玩蟲族的時候您會碰到一種叫孢子獸的東西然后講，‘NNDX，那便是一個女妖吧？’我們極力把她面竄得像一個真正在的下速女妖，她也確切像，‘額，陪計，但也沒有過是個女妖。’并出有從底子上竄改其感化。我們有一些東西帶有很多弄怪成分，如問應能更新奇，但真正在沒有必然更興趣。”

- ”You'd play as the Zerg with something called a Spore Beast and we'd say, "Oh my god, this is just a Banshee, isn't it?" We'd try to tune as like a really fast Banshee, and it was like, "Okay, dude, but that's still a Banshee." It hadn't fundamentally changed its role. We had some stuff that was a lot wackier, that felt more new but wasn't necessarily more fun.”

-“我們曾正在雷神背上配了巨型減農炮，超少途并且借片傷，阿誰看起去粉兇悍。但是如許一去便把攻鄉坦克擠到了很易堪的地位上，有了雷神便沒有需供坦克，有了坦克便沒有需供雷神。”

- “We had these big cannons on the back of the Thor that did massive, long-range AOE [area of effect] attacks because that looked cool and it sure was fun to play with. It stepped on the Siege Tank in the worst way. You really didn't need a Siege Tank if you had a Thor, or if you had a Siege Tank you didn't need a Thor; one or the other.”

并且，明隱單位面竄已成為星際2出售前開辟小組沒有克沒有及沒有散開細力當真正在現的尾要目標。同時那也大年夜大年夜有助于從啟測到終究產品的挨算。禿頂借舉了一些例子申明如何挨斷rush修建挨次，別的解釋了比去批評中提到的正在兩個鏡像單位對戰時果為光芒題目易以辯白本身單位。

In addition, it becomes obvious that those changes are intertwined with more serious matters concerning the goals that lie ahead of the team prior to StarCraft 2's shipping. They also greatly contribute to the team's current impressions from the beta so far and their future plans about the final product. Dustin also gives specific examples about some broken rush build orders and the recently commented by Light problem about how hard it is to distinguish your units when two mirror armies clash.

-“一背以去我們沒有竭寬格寬格再寬格的要供，現在我們終究能夠把那個激動聽心的產品掀示正在大年夜家里前。然后，我們要開端著眼于如何繼絕改進她了。”

- “All of the time, we were just getting it tighter and tighter and tighter, and now we've managed to get it in front of the community, which is really exciting. Now we're starting to see where we can continue to improve it.“

以上統統的話語，皆愈去愈渾楚天表白暴雪至心為我們奉上一款細雕細琢的，戰母巢之戰一樣鶴坐雞群的，并再絕當期間光輝的游戲。

With all the being said, it is clearer and clearer that Blizzard would really like to give us as much polished product as possible which is distinctive from BroodWar and similar to it at the same time .

-“當載進繪里結束的時候，您便曉得有多飆了。”

- ”When you see that load screen end, you know it's on.”
