Chapter 432: Gathering Elements
Wang Buyi has already thought of this point. As the core of the battle, this play point also revolves around doing a lot of things to match.
Like collecting elements, this is also a key point to measure whether the game is fun or not. A lot of games have a confusing design for convenience. For example, put a treasure chest on the street or something. Wang does not plan to abandon the concept of "treasure chest" in "Stunning Rivers and Mountains". Use other forms of expression to collect elements.
The most important element of collection must be related to the growth of the protagonist. Things like "hidden intrigue" don't appeal to all players to collect, and they can't be the backbone of collecting.
After synthesizing various aspects of the game, Wang Bufu divided the collection elements "related to the growth of the protagonist of the game" into basic attributes, special abilities, weapons and equipment, and skills.
The one that can increase the basic stat is the "spirit" that is similar to the experience point. Kill all monsters to get it.
There are several other elements of collecting, all of which are related to the player's adventures in the open world. In the open world, there are all kinds of dungeons, palaces. In addition to the connection to the game's plot, you can also get a variety of rewards by beating them.
To strengthen the special abilities of the game's protagonist, the player needs to penetrate the "temples" of various gods. The temple is a kind of dungeon in the game, and the boss of the dungeon is the "God Incarnate". By defeating it, the protagonist can absorb the relevant divine powers, enhancing the ability bar of special abilities. When you pause time, you can configure the skill more easily.
In terms of weapons and equipment, you need to go to various mines, abandoned towns, and dungeons to adventure. Rare raw materials can be obtained from mines. Get all kinds of belongings and blueprints from the abandoned town.
Defeat the dungeon boss and the player can get rare artifact shards. Once you've collected all the pieces, you can combine them into powerful artifacts......
Even the skill level of the main character of the game has an element of collecting. The two combat methods in the game, one ordinary mouse operation and the other pause time to make up the ultimate, are actually closely related to the worldview of the game.
In another world, there are two countries, Chu and Qin.
The normal attack operated with the mouse uses the ability of the line of the Chu State. As the game progresses, the prestige of the protagonist increases. NPCs will also teach the protagonist stronger techniques. Manifested in the game. It unlocks more advanced ways to attack. After unlocking, you can then level up with "Spirits". Gives various variations to normal attacks, increasing power, increasing elemental attacks, breaking enemy shields, and more.
Another type of time-paused and custom skillset battle uses the skills of the Qin State series. No NPC will teach these skills to the protagonist. Requires the player to be in the open world. Look for the "Ancient Battlefield".
The Ancient Battlefield is also a kind of dungeon. In the game, it is the place where the Qin State and the people of the other world have fought. After piercing. You will encounter the ghosts of the generals of the Qin State at the end of the line. The ghost will teach the protagonist a skill and tell the player where to go to the next ancient battlefield.
Throughout the open world, various dungeons have different elements to collect. Wang does not live up to it. When entering a type of dungeon, the player should have a good idea of what to collect. In this way, when they get their wish, they will have a feeling that "their wishes have come true".
And the sense of surprise for the player is presented in the form of "stumbling upon the dungeon".
Wang Bufu looked at the core gameplay design of "Stunning Country" and thought it was very good. From the gameplay of the battle, most of the gameplay of the game is derived. The entire open world is closely related to the upgrade of the game's protagonist. As you break through more and more dungeons, the protagonist will get stronger and stronger.
He hopes that just collecting elements will be enough to entice players to beat all the dungeons on the map.
In this way, Wang Bufu is also motivated to let the staff design an elaborate dungeon. Ancient battlefields, palaces, temples, castles, strongholds...... It should be able to greatly enrich the open virtual world of "Stunning Rivers".
According to the design, players can play the dungeon for two to three hundred hours just without touching the main quest at all. And the main quest, coupled with the derived branch plots, Wang Buyi felt that he could extend the game time by another hundred hours.
These 100 hours are not just about running around the big map and delaying time with various tasks to deliver things. It's the course of the game that requires fighting. It will take a lot of time to defend the city of Chu. Envoy to the human kingdom of another world, find the main army of Qin, attack the orc kingdom, and even kill the abyss demon king who controls the orcs. Added up, it's definitely a hundred hours.
Wang Bucheng looked at these designs again, clicked Save, and installed them in a USB stick. If you think about it again tomorrow, you should be able to think through the details of the game.
The storyline of "Stunning Rivers" is vivid in his mind. But that's not the case with games. The story is only one aspect of the game, and there are many things that need to be designed. Including how the character's equipment should be performed, and how the level should be performed, these need to be carefully considered.
He stood up, went to the kitchen to microwave three glasses of milk, and brought them to the two little girls. Xia Ci went to take a bath after drinking, and Luo Caiqiu was sent home after drinking.
Luo Caiqiu is very envious, Xia Ci can enjoy Wang Buying's care every day. If it weren't for the high school entrance examination, Luo Caiqiu would have no reason to come here.
So she has a sense of urgency all the time, and she really wants to do something for Wang Bucheng and strengthen the connection between the two.
Now she can help Wang Bucheng "open a store", it doesn't matter if she can make money or not, the key is to have the opportunity to continue to meet.
While thinking about working hard to learn fashion-related knowledge, she watched Xia Ci lean on Wang Buying's arm and drink milk, feeling sad.
It's really unfair, why can the stupid and ignorant Xia Ci be so tolerant of Wang Buying? And Luo Caiqiu has obviously been working hard to face everything, and he is more obedient than Xia Ci, and he looks better than Xia Ci by dressing up, why can't he get Wang to live up to Xia Ci's favor?
It must be because she is still very useless, and she is still a little girl who can only sing and take exams. The obsession in Luo Caiqiu's heart is deep again, and she has to work harder to grasp every opportunity to win Wang Buful's attention!
……
Wang Buyi sent Luo Caiqiu home, and Xia Ci also took a bath. As soon as Wang Buyi came back, she pounced, grabbed her hair and stuffed it in front of Wang Bubu's nose: "You smell it, you smell it, does it stink?" ”
For girls with long hair, washing hair is a big project, and it is difficult to dry it. Although it was already summer, Xia Ci was afraid of trouble, so he only washed it once every two days. While being lazy, I am always afraid that I will stink.
The hair doesn't have to be handed to the nose, Wang Buyi can smell her. Xia Ci is fragrant all over his body, and the body that has taken a bath is fragrant, and the smell of his hair is not unpleasant. However, if you don't wash it for a few days, the rancid will still be rancid.
"My porcelain is fragrant." Wang Bucheng smiled and said, "Go to bed and get up early tomorrow." ”
Xia Ci was not at ease, and took his hair and sniffed hard. She smelled herself, which was different from what Wang Bucheng smelled, and she didn't know that she was spraying incense. After smelling it several times, she confirmed uneasily: "Doesn't it really stink?" ”
"It doesn't stink. I also want you to stink a little bit so that other men won't look at you. Wang Buyi was joking, but suddenly became worried, bent down slightly and folded Porcelain's shoulder, and asked very nervously: "Porcelain, have any boys come to you to confess recently?" ”
In a few days, Xia Ci will take the high school entrance examination, and then he will graduate from junior high school. Wang Buyi also came over at this age, and knew that this period of time was the age when the love between young people and girls was beginning. The more courageous students will seize the last opportunity to write love letters, ask someone to confess or something.
"Why are you asking this?" Xia Ci blushed and was very embarrassed.
Wang Buyi suddenly became anxious: "Have you received a love letter?" Show me! ”
"No!" Xia Ci twisted his small body, very resistant.
The king was horrified. Don't look at him as he is only in his twenties, but in the face of Xia Ci, it is completely the psychology of an old man. No matter how big his career is, he is always not as young as those handsome guys, so he is afraid of encountering any threats.
He was anxious in his heart, but his face was very soft: "Don't worry, I promise not to scold you." It's just a matter of figuring out who wrote it for you. ”
Then go and talk to the ignorant little boy. Wang Buyi finished a passage in his heart.
"Nope!" Xia Ci's face was flushed, and he said very hurtly: "I haven't received a single one!" I received fifteen letters, none of which I received, and no one liked me! ”
It turned out that Xia Ci was a girl's heart hurt. She and Luo Caiqiu were at the same table, and during this time, Luo Caiqiu could be seen taking out two or three letters from the table every morning. Don't look at Xia Ci's disdain, in fact, he is envious to death. Especially looking at Luo Caiqiu's proud expression as if he had won a battle in the past few days, it was even more sad.
Wang Bu was very narrowly happy: "Who said they don't like you? I like you very much, porcelain porcelain is the most well-behaved. ”
"Also, this princess only needs the admiration of the commoners, not their affection." Xia Ci bit her lip and said beautiful things.
"Yes, yes, yes. All you need is the love of the Guardian Spirit. Wang lived up to his smile, this is the best, no one will grab porcelain with him.
Wang Buful's intentions were very unproductive, but Xia Ci didn't notice it. She thought about graduation, and she thought of one more thing. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to ask, "...... Brother, do you like cats? ”
After Xia Ci did not call Wang Buhou "guardian spirit", he rarely called him "brother". This sudden cry of "brother" was soft and sweet, and Wang Buful's heart seemed to be scratched lightly, and his body was numb.
Wang Buyi barely sane himself and asked, "What's the matter, you want to have a cat?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Ci nodded lightly, biting her lip, and looked at Wang Buyi carefully.
Wang was reluctant: "I don't even understand people, but I still have cats?" Not raised. ”
"Brother...... Meow meow is very cute and can meow too. Xia Ci shook Wang's arm and learned to meow in a coquettish voice. (To be continued......)
