Almighty Game Designer

Qian raised his hand and asked: "So, manager, is the whole game still similar to the Wulin Herald? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes, but the pace is much faster. The game is roughly divided into three phases: the first phase, the beginning of the tournament, the completion of various doorman tasks, the field, and the improvement of one's own strength; the second phase, the integration of doorman resources, the decent internal competition for the Lord of the Wulin Alliance, the wicked internal competition for the Lord of the Wulin, and the preparation for the final battle; and the third stage, the showdown between the two sides, the final decision of the Lord of the Wulin Alliance or the Lord of the Wulin. ”

Qian Xiao frowned slightly: “But I still feel more decent and powerful. Decent Wu Lin leaderships can lead nine sects and only three sects, which is too big a gap to balance with NPC. After all, when players get all sorts of advanced martial arts, most NPC soldiers die. ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes, but you ignored a little that decent and evil behaved differently. ”

“Specifically, the decent cannot destroy the door, while the wicked can. At the beginning of the game, all decent parties had their own problems and could only defend themselves; even if the problems were solved, decent parties could not attack other decent parties, and even if players wanted to attack, decent leaders and NPCs would not agree. If the player is lonely, he or she will even be expelled from the division. ”

“But unlike the villains, at the beginning of the game, the villains were completely bloody and could attack the upright, and once the doors had been successfully extinguished, a great deal of martial arts and resources could be scraped down and the power rapidly expanded. ”

“In other words, in the middle of the first half of the game, the decent and the wicked were pulling the river: the decent had to find ways to defend themselves against the evil attacks and regain their strength, while the wicked wanted to do everything possible to reap the greater good while the decent power was at its best. Both sides' concerted struggle in the previous mid-term will directly affect the power contrast between the two sides during the dueling period. ”

Su Jinyu asked: "Well, manager, I have a question. Now that it's a zero-sum game, what am I supposed to do if I'm a decent player and there's a much better player over here? ”

"You have three choices: first, to find an adventure, to fight the wild, to improve his strength over him; second, to poison him or even to collaborate with the devil, which, of course, is tantamount to betrayal, possibly to bear the risk of being expelled from the division; and third, to follow him honestly and make him the leader of the Wulin Alliance. ”

Su Jianyu: "Ah? What the hell is this? ”

Chen smiled and explained: “This game is a zero-sum game, but it doesn't mean every one of you has to compete first. Just like eating a chicken, it may normally take two or three days to eat a chicken. The game, too, would be great if you could get the Master of the Wulin Alliance once in two or three days. ”

“What if we don't get the Lord of the Wulin Alliance? Isn't that the difference between second and last? Of course not. We will rank players according to their order of death and reward them. When you can't handle a decent player right now, you can hang out with him first, hang on tight, and then figure out a way to shade him later. ”

Su Jinyu thought, “Well, will there be 24 players, 6 villain players come up and hang up, and the remaining 17 decent players all scream 666 with a big man? ”

Chen smiled and laughed: “This is theoretically possible, but the probability is low. Firstly, we will have a balance of power mechanism. If evil players die, then decent players can rebel in the past to gain direct evil appreciation and get some advanced martial arts; secondly, players are all fighting, how can you just be the master of the Wulin Alliance without doing anything? Or obvious or dark, there must be players to join together to get rid of you; moreover, if the last more decent players survive, the rest of them rank according to the overall rating (including his power, props, etc.), except for the Lord of the Wu Lin League, if you yell 666 as a saltfish all the way, then your final ranking reward is basically similar to landing in a box. ”

“So the rules of the game are relatively fixed, but it's impossible to predict exactly how it's going to develop, because each player has his own ideas, too much trust in others, and could be sold instead of a lot of money. And of course, as designers, we'd love to see players pave the way for each other. ”

Qian Qian asked: "What about the profitability model of this game? ”

Chen Qiao: “Like Jedi Survival, we buy out the charges, the currency obtained in the game is used to unpack the special look, we can trade in cash, we draw transaction taxes. Of course, in order to prevent special looks from being exposed to players, all NPCs and players entering the game will get special looks randomly, just like the Alliance of Heroes gives the robot skin. ”

“Understood.” Qian Xiao nodded, "and the final question is," Jianghu "mechanism is much more complex than" Jedi to survive ", how to solve the player's difficulty in getting started? Besides, isn't this game too friendly to handicapped players? ”

Chen explained: “Quick answer, matching mechanism. Like Jedi Survival, each station scores players based on their performance, dividing players with similar points together. In addition, in order to take care of handicapped players, the game will bring its own combat aids. ”

“Simply put, if both players are initial attributes, then whoever manipulates the bull will win, which is the same as the Jedi Survival shooting method. If you can't manipulate, you should practice, otherwise you deserve to lower the segment; besides, if you get special martial arts, you will compensate for the operational deficiencies to some extent. ”

“For example, if you get the top inner work like the Sutra and practice it up, your blood strip is thicker than others, ordinary martial arts are hard to do you harm; or if you get the top figure like" Running Away, "then you bring your own high evasion properties, the system automatically helps you to perform evasion operations, and no one else is easy to beat you; if you get the top sword method like the Tai Chi Sword Law, even if you chop this sword, the system automatically helps you fix it, it's almost like a micro self-sight. ”

Qian Qian was shocked: “So, if a player gets a bunch of worldly martial arts, he can go straight to A? ”

Chen Jiao shook his head: “Not really. The world of martial arts is a low-demon world. Even if you are completely martial arts, you will not necessarily be able to prevent poison, and you will not necessarily defeat the siege of the top ten. Even a few more masters than you attacked you secretly, you may also kill you. Like" Dark Soul ", you do hurt to chop people, but others chop you very much. You know, when you're busy looking for an adventure, no one else is idle, and it's hard to pull too wide a gap between players, so it's almost impossible to go straight to A. ”

“Take 10,000 steps back and say that if you're really that good at getting all the top martial arts, then you should really hang everyone else up and fight without a problem. It's like being a master at the League of Heroes and The Jedi for Life. ”
