Chapter 774: Gifts for Players: Storm City (Sangen)

As for Storm City, Chan had actually made a building block version before when he was doing "My World".

Therefore, the entire structure of Storm City has been replicated, Chen Qiao doesn't need to make too many introductions, just let the project team do a high-definition version of the Storm City in My World.

Use the ancient onboard engine and use the "Mysterious Seas" level for the highest art results. It takes too long to do the whole World of Warcraft, but it's much easier to do just one storm city.

Chen Jiao is not only trying to replicate the storm city of previous generations, but also to further expand the entire city.

After all, the new Storm City needs to accommodate a large number of real life players, no matter how big the city, and it will certainly be packed. In that case, the bigger the better, the louder the better.

And, of course, it cannot be infinitely large.

The size of towns in previous games was well thought out. If you build Flashgold Town or Storm City strictly according to the size of the novel, then the size of just one Flashgold Town will exceed the Alvin Forest, and players will need to walk ten minutes to get out of town to fight weirdness.

So Flash Gold Town is streamlined into a one-minute walk across the scale of things, and Storm City is the same.

In other words, if the size of Storm City in previous life's games is considered to be at least ten times smaller than in the novel, and if the population of Storm City and surrounding villages reaches 200,000 according to the story, players will wonder, where are these 200,000 people?

Can't really do 200,000 NPCs.

So, Chen Jiao did a relatively conservative expansion, the size of the whole storm city, the length and width all times two, that is, the area actually changed to four times the original size.

The proportion of buildings cannot be scaled up year-on-year, so you have to fill in more details, like more houses, NPCs, etc.

It's too big to build, because players need a limited amount of game content. In the main city, it's actually using auction houses, shopping with merchants, etc., or finding important NPCs to take up tasks. Big, looks good at first glance, but gets worse at practicality.

If players go into Storm City for half an hour, they're wasting their lives. Plus, there's not so much detail to fill in, too much to fill in, and the house is all in one piece, either empty or some egg-free NPC, which also affects the players' gaming experience.

Therefore, Chen Jiao finalized the storm city four times the original area, which was appropriately enlarged for some key areas, such as Central Square, where players often congregate.

Although the area is a little worse than the area in the original novel, the city is magnificent enough for the players.

If more cities were to be built in the future, they would basically be built to this size, and, of course, they might have to be expanded in the event of exceptional circumstances. However, Chen did not want any special circumstances to arise. After all, it would still be troublesome to change it.

In fact, fantasy cities of this size can only be built in the virtual world.

It has been counted that if you consider building a theme park according to the size of Storm City in the previous World of Warcraft games, the investment is basically too large to imagine. NPC alone is estimated to cost tens of thousands of sets of clothing. If you want to replicate the entire city, you may not be able to stop investing tens of billions of dollars, and it is basically impossible to recover the cost.

With that in mind, building a storm city in a virtual world would be a great deal.

It's not enough to build a storm city, there has to be a way to play with it.

Like NPC features, like players' clothing, like how to play in the city...

You can't just make an empty shell and the players can't do anything inside.

So, Chen Jiayou handed the players a job and brushed a copy.

Anyway, there's a ready-made copy in Storm City, Storm City Prison. Weapons systems and battle systems are picked out of the "Dark Souls", equipment is also modified with "Dark Souls". As for the players' professions, it is only necessary to start with the four classic professions of War Herder. Each profession symbolically comes with three skills, plus the weapons brought by the Dark Souls' battle system, enough for the players to play for a while.

What if you say the player flips a copy?

Again, this is the Battle System of Dark Souls, so easy to brush through, okay?

Even if you have high play, you can clear it... just make more drops and lower the drop rate. Players need to continue to suffer if they want to get geared up and brush more copies, so where are we going?

What, are you saying it's too much?

It's an amusement park. It's not a real MMORPG game. It's just addictive for the players. It's already a conscience.

In addition, there are a wide variety of businessmen in Storm City, each with different functions.

For example, vocational trainers allow players to choose or change their careers and learn vocational skills.

Various traders can sell weapons, equipment, food, drinks, special props, etc., to players.

Some trainers can teach professional skills such as tailoring, jewelry processing, enchantment, etc. Of course, there is a little bit more to this and a little more openness.

This brand new Storm City will be updated as "Beachfront Mansion" and will be presented to players as an important update to the Double Eleven event.

Totally free.

……

……

Nearly double eleven, a lot of people are worried about their wallets.

After all, Double Eleven chopped hands for a moment and had to eat dirt all month. Maybe next month's credit card is over and we'll have to keep eating dirt.

A lot of players are mourning and running out of money.

Wallet King has been emptied of "Mysterious Seas" and "The End of America". There is also a warm, awaiting nursing in "Beachfront Mansion". There is really no money to go online to buy losers.

Nevertheless, some players can't resist the temptation to start looking at discounts online.

Digital products, clothes, shoes...

Anyway, whether it's large or small, I usually don't want to buy anything, I bought it in double eleven.

If you want to play games, you still have to live the day. Usually the money is used to buy games. A lot of things are discounted in double eleven, so it's time to buy some essentials.

As a result, the players were wondering what to buy. Chen Qiao's tweet directly blew up all the players in place!

“Shit! I can't get through this! Check out Chan's new Twitter! ”

“Oh, my God, is Chen Jiao getting mixed up with Double Eleven? Is this the murder of our wallet king?? ”

“I won't calm down for a second... go check it out, you will not calm down after watching it...”

“What do you mean, Chen Jiao loses again? ”

“It's more than a loss. It's a bleeding loss! ”

“The biggest gamers in the country, Thunder Entertainment has collapsed! Chen Yu owed 350 million for eating, drinking and gambling, and ran off with his aunt! More than 1,000 games, half price, half price! Chen, you bastard, you're not human, you pay me back my sweat money, pay me back my sweat money! ”

A lot of players are surprised, Chen Jiao, what is this? Why do you have to mix the twins and eleven?
