The people at Mars Entertainment are well aware of the power of Jester's whimsy.

Sometimes, a game can be brought back to life by adding a gameplay to a word from Jester.

"It's actually very simple, just a whim."

Jester didn't think the achievement system was a killer thing, nor did he think it was something important and inherent, and although this system played a pivotal role in the history of the game, it was really just a very whimsical idea.

"For example, when we are in the game, we often do things that are difficult to do, for example, I know that there are many people who like to clear the level without firing a shot when they play "Contra", and some people will pursue a life clearance, no injury clearance, the more difficult the game, the more challenging these people are...... Moreover, when they do these things, there is no reward. ”

Jester still said in a flat tone.

"Now, you sue me, these players, why are you looking for uncomfortable? Why do you have to do that? Why do many of us think that doing such a thing is akin to masochism? ”

With that, Jester looked at the people sitting next to him with an inquiring look.

This question is not difficult to answer.

As Jester said in his previous speech, a good designer must understand the player's mentality and ideas, if a designer doesn't even know why the player is doing this, then how can he design the game? He has to understand what the player likes and do what he likes.

Soon, a young man answered Jester's question.

"A sense of accomplishment, or vanity."

His answer was succinct, but Jester nodded directly when he heard it, and then, with a smile, he said, "I agree with Sayle's answer." That's right, it's a sense of accomplishment or vanity. ”

Jester then continued.

"I can pack a ticket with you, these painstaking people want to play the game with all kinds of masochistic gameplay that outsiders see, after they finish playing, they will definitely show off, or their classmates or their friends, showing off, maybe deliberately pretending to be unintentional, for example, when he saw his friend playing "Ninja Dragon", he saw that his friend was always dead. He casually said, isn't this game quite simple, I played it once in my brother's before, and I don't think it's difficult. ”

"Actually, he doesn't know how long he has been practicing this game in his own home, and he can finally clear the level with one life."

Then his friend must not have believed it, because his friend had played the game himself. His friend knew how difficult it was, so his friend would question it, and this question just happened to correct his mind, and he could take the handle as a matter of course. Then give it to his friends, he doesn't know how long it took him to practice. ”

"And then, in the incredulous gaze of his friend, he made a perfect pass......"

Jester first told such a story, and everyone in the room was not only a game designer. Still avid gamers, they sometimes come across a game they like very much, and they will study a variety of playing styles. The reason why they do this is because they want to show it off in front of their friends or other people.

Look, how awesome I'm playing.

So, when Jester told this story, many people had this kind of empathy, so they all laughed out loud.

"However, don't you think this way of showing off is a bit too troublesome?"

Jester saw everyone's reaction and asked rhetorically.

And many people also nodded, indeed, it's a bit troublesome, and there are very few opportunities to show off this kind of game, and it also makes many game masters rarely be able to show off themselves.

"But ......"

At this time, Mark. Saini frowned, he said with some doubts: "Jester, what you said is indeed that there are many people who are willing to study the gameplay and are happy to do this, but, after all, such people are a minority in the entire game group, most of them, they don't have such a pursuit, if your new system is completely prepared for them, then I think, I'm afraid the effect will not be too great." ”

The crowd, who were still a little excited, heard that Mark. After racing your doubts, he also nodded a little indifferently.

They also know that Mark. That's exactly what Saini said.

"Huh."

Jester smiled directly.

In fact, compared with the player group of later generations, the players of this era are still relatively pure, and there are fewer light players, because in this period, the eight-figure and sixteen-figure period, it is still relatively difficult to redesign the game, so most of the people who are willing to play the game are not afraid of difficulties.

But there is a limit to not being afraid of difficulty.

For example, Ninja Dragon, such a game, it would be very good to be able to last until the level was cleared.

The pursuit of what harmless clearance is a masochistic thing.

"Actually, my achievement or trophy system is not just to attract these core players, you can listen to my achievement system first."

Jester didn't answer Mark. Saini's question was explained first. What the hell was the achievement system he was talking about at the beginning?

"It's actually very easy to understand.,It's not too complicated.,It's a kind of proof that the player has completed something in the game.,Similar to a badge thing.,For example,I said before that the ninja dragon's life clearance.,Completion is a condition for getting this badge reward.,Once completed,This reward interface will pop up in the game.,You can do it a little more gorgeously.,People are full of a sense of accomplishment when they see it.。

"Of course, some simple things, for example, how many things you collect, the simplest, coins in the game, collect 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,100,000 can give you a reward achievement badge like this......"

"Inevitably, because the difficulty of obtaining these two badges is different, therefore, this kind of reward is also divided into grades, for example, this kind of achievement of collecting coins to reach a certain amount is ordinary, represented by a bronze badge, and this kind of one-life clearance is difficult to do, so use a gold-colored badge to reward ......"

"We can even set up a higher achievement badge to reward it with colorful or other more precious ones, which is called legendary feats, for example, if you get all the achievements in this game, you can get this ......"

Jester spoke eloquently.

He briefly explained the achievement or trophy system he envisioned. (To be continued......)
