Chapter 16: The Devil's Whisper

While Lin Le was waiting for the settlement date, a big thing happened in the parallel world.

Yan Huaguo officially announced the successful development of the virtual game cabin, which caused an uproar and a sensation.

This also indicates that in the future, the gaming industry will also enter an unprecedented era of virtual games.

Major companies at home and abroad, such as Antarctic Games, Pig Factory, Ren Hell, etc., have begun to focus on the development of virtual reality games.

All of a sudden, the storm surged.

July 27th, 0:00 p.m.

In the apartment, Lin Le received the settlement prompt from the system, and his mind moved to check the details.

【Super Money Losing System】

[Business capital: 300 million]

[Personal funds: 400W]

Last time, there were 90 million commercial funds, but Lin Le tossed for a long time, and he didn't lose a dime, and it more than tripled.

After all, parallel world anime is a contracted payment system, and the pricing of "RE0" is the same as that of "Magic Circle".

However, it has 24 episodes, and the profits it brings are considerable.

The rest also have the peripherals at hand, the glorious amusement park, virtual idols, etc.

Lin Le thought that some media said that Leli Mutual Entertainment could create miracles.

However, he acted as an internal ghost and still couldn't reverse the situation, which shows that his company itself is a miracle.

Looking at the business funds that exceeded 9 figures, Lin Le felt that he was bearing an unbearable burden at this age.

But Lin Le is no longer the original Xiaobai, his mentality and will are as stable as a Buddha, that is called a Buddha and calm, faintly in the loss of money, he has comprehended a bit of Zen.

Between everything, there is cause and effect and reincarnation.

Then, sooner or later, the money earned by oneself will have to return to oneself.

The only fortunate thing is that because the profit conversion is 100 to 1, coupled with the more than 1 million belongings that Lin Le owned before, his personal wealth has exceeded more than 400W.

Lin Le plans to leave 50W for himself, and the rest will be used to buy a cloud-view villa for his parents, so that the two elders can enjoy Qingfu, which can be regarded as a major goal of this year

For the past of failure, Lin Le didn't want to continue to dwell on it, and immediately looked at a new task.

[The new era is coming, please use commercial funds to make a virtual reality game with a survival theme, settlement time: five months. After the birth of virtual games at this stage, the popularity on the Internet is super high, and Lin Le also has a lot of understanding during this time.

After all, virtual reality games, as long as a senior player, will yearn to play this kind of game, and Lin Le is naturally no exception.

Nowadays, in the game industry, all kinds of big bulls are ready to show their skills in this field, seize the market, and gain a firm foothold, and the competition will inevitably be fierce in the future.

However, what troubles Lin Le the most is that the current virtual game is equivalent to standing on the cusp of the storm, even a pig can fly.

It is conservatively estimated that within this year, as long as a virtual game appears, players will definitely buy it.

It seems that the system is making it harder to lose money again.

This set of familiar gameplay, Lin Le can be regarded as seeing through it.

So, the key to how to break the game and lose money smoothly is to smash the virtual game with the theme of survival.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Le woke up to an important fact.

I have been doing many projects, basically identifying the potential and qualifications to lose money, and then pointing out the general direction to employees. It was always so steady at the beginning, but it collapsed too quickly and unsatisfactory.

Either it became popular by mistake, such as "Oriental Red Devil Township", "Only Your Singer", obviously designed their persuasion points, but instead became the finishing touch.

Either it is a reverse pointer, which is always misinterpreted by others, such as "RE0", "Rebuilding Civilization", which eventually leads to a bumper harvest of word-of-mouth and sales, and even went to Akihabara by himself, but he was stabbed in the back, which is simply ruthless.

Summing up the above failure experience, Lin Le came to a conclusion.

This time the virtual game is gaining momentum, and the strategy of the past must be changed. First of all, pointing out the general direction can be scrapped.

After all, the reverse guidance I gave was like turning on the light.

Employees can make up for it in an instant, and they can turn stones into gold in an instant.

Then, deliberately setting up a persuasion point is absolutely impossible.

On the one hand, it arouses the rebellious psychology of players, and the game becomes popular. On the other hand, because I have done such things as a music workshop and grateful players, I may really have the talent to be an excellent designer, and the persuasion point that I intentionally made is to put the finishing touch.

Thinking about these, Lin Le paced back and forth in the office for a long time, and finally came up with a practical and stupid way after hollowing out his thoughts.

"In that case, I'll copy a survival game that was popular in my previous life. Depending on the situation, change its advantages to disadvantages.

Isn't that tantamount to turning a fun game into a garbage game?

There is no need to point at employees and bear the risk of being misinterpreted.

There is also no need to deliberately set up a persuasion point, which will be counterproductive. ”

"Survival-themed games, popular in previous lives, I am still very familiar with them, and the only ones who can remember the highlights in it are "Don't Starve", which has won many awards."

"Anyway, this game has survived for thousands of days, and it is a senior boss, who understands the rules and regulations of this game, and can have a better grasp of changing its magic into a money-losing game.

"Well, just write a reverse design draft from memory. Others love to make up for their brains, but the last time Qin Zhen did a music game, he followed his own intentions, and it was more down-to-earth to hand it over to him. ”

Lin Le's eyes lit up, turned on the computer, and began to code up the design draft of the virtual version of "Don't Starve".

The first is the setting of the game, which is irrelevant, Lin Le will copy it directly.

The player takes on the role of a scientist who has been transported to the wilderness of another world by a terrifying demon.

The player's goal is to survive in the brutal and dangerous wilderness.

Then there's the character setting.

The player has four stats, health, hunger, SAN, and humidity.

When the health reaches 0, the player dies.

When hunger reaches 0, the player will begin to gradually lose health.

When the SAN value is too low, the player will hallucinate and cause various negative states.

Humidity value, which is too high, causes the player's body temperature to drop rapidly, and the player suffers from frostbite.

In addition, in Don't Starve, players can use different characters.

For example, Vero the arsonist, Wendy the survivor, Wolfgang the man, etc., all have their own characteristics and different abilities.

The rest are monsters from another world.

The most classic pig people, seasonal bosses, etc.

There's nothing to change about these, just copy them.

The focus is, the gameplay aspect.

The core gameplay of "Don't Starve" in the previous life was "picking up garbage".

In the large map, players can keep themselves alive by picking up various materials and collecting various resources.

You can also synthesize useful items between materials, and you can also develop technology and build your own home in the later stage.

The difficulty is notoriously high, and you can freeze to death, starve to death, be bitten to death by spiders and snakes, and have your home destroyed by the spring boss. For the psychology of players, Lin Le has done so many games, which can be regarded as some experience.

Therefore, Lin Le decided to reduce the difficulty.

A high level of difficulty that will never dissuade players

It will even provoke a bunch of high-level plays, bringing the game to popularity.

The second survival game, if it is too simple, the player will not be able to feel the tension and will soon lose the fun of the game.

To put it simply, the difficulty is reduced, the pressure on the player to survive is sharply reduced, and the meaning of survival is lost.

This is also why the difficulty of survival games is on the high side.

Finally, the most popular place of Don't Starve is the multiplayer mode.

Play the game, the more people there are, the more fun it is.

Players and friends survive and adventure in another world together, and the playability and fun have been greatly improved.

For example, building a home together, raising and farming, developing technology, researching magic, challenging bosses, adventuring ruins, and creating and extending countless ways to play.

Such a game that can obviously be popular, Lin Le must not let it go.

Delete it directly and keep only the single-player gameplay, which is too extreme.

A compromise would make the player no longer a partnership, but an adversarial one.

Players survive on the big map, compete with each other, grab each other's supplies, and the cooperative gameplay is directly cool.

Of course, this gameplay, Lin Le noticed a bit of a sense of déjà vu, like a battle royale mode, and it was just a poison circle.

In case of eating chicken on a desert island, Lin Le changed it again.

A game in which 15 players participate, and 5 random players turn into demons.

Their goal is to kill all the remaining ten players playing as humans.

The skill setting of all aspects of the demon, Lin Le decided to refer to the LOL hero of the fire in his previous life.

Because, most of the heroes of LOL are simple to operate and easy to use.

Lin Le's idea was to let the demons have the upper hand, and basically kill humans alone, like killing chickens.

Demons can't be too boring, of course, they will also level up if they have skills, experience comes from demolishing the buildings of human homes and killing them, and according to the game time, increase gold and experience points, and have a special skill that automatically detects the area where humans are located as the game time passes.

These coins can be used to buy a variety of equipment and special items in LOL.

For example, the fire demon Brand in the costume of the six gods, the demolition and hunting down of humans is the same as playing.

For example, the Soul Flute item: After use, you can control ten pig people to serve yourself.

Of course, human beings are not without resistance, otherwise they will simply be tortured and killed, and the game that comes out of this way will not be able to pass the review of the system.

Therefore, the only thing that human beings rely on is the characteristic building system in "Don't Starve".

Naturally, these buildings function differently from the original, otherwise they would be out of balance.

Single-player gameplay, but there are no major changes.

In the online confrontation, Lin Le chose to borrow the building system in the game "Warcraft Frozen Throne", which was regarded as an outcast by Blizzard in his previous life, but was active for more than ten years.......

There are three broad categories of facilities that humans can build.

The first is the defensive class

There are tall walls that can resist demon invasions, and they can be upgraded continuously, and the higher the durability, the longer it will take for the demon to break, and similar effects.

The second type is the attack class.

A fire and frost magic tower with elemental damage and effects, a powerful turret with a short range, a relatively fragile arrow tower with a long attack range, and a cave that can hire monsters to resist invasion.

The third is the development category.

A pig house where you can hire pig people to act as farmers, a gold mine that can mine gold coins, a factory that produces food, and a science museum that researches technology and improves the power of your facilities.

All in all, demons are super easy to get started with, the experience is refreshing, and there is a natural advantage to hunting down human players.

As for human beings, it is more cumbersome to get started and prefer to survive in farming.

In this online gameplay, the goal of human beings is to resist the hunt of demons and survive for 300 days, which is equivalent to 30 minutes.

The general idea of the design draft took Lin Le more than 2 hours to write. Specific perfection and meticulous work still need to be dealt with by Qin Zhen and others.

However, Lin Le is very satisfied with this design draft.

It's basically a magic "Don't Starve".

Its popularity is gone, and if the name is changed, it will be called "Devil's Whisper".

I hope that all human players will be hunted by demons at all times and ruled by them.

After all, 5 demon players and 10 human players are persuaded to quit, how can they all be earned.

Lin Le sent this design draft to Qin Zhen, and this time he had an extra mind.

That is to explain Qin Zhen, and the game is tested while doing it.

Then, talk to yourself about the strengths and weaknesses.

Lin Le's idea is to prevent the slightest slight, and he has forgotten that there is a test before.

The game can be done while making excuses to change all the advantages found, so that you will be ironclad.

on the workstation.

After receiving Mr. Lin's design draft, Qin Zhen was amazed

As a platinum player, I still know a lot about survival games.

In most survival games, once you get through the difficult survival link in the early stage, the later gameplay begins to show weakness.

After all, players don't have to worry about their own survival, so naturally they have no motivation to continue playing.

It's normal to lose the fun after enjoying the process of farming.

But when it comes to Mr. Lin's "Devil's Whisper", the survival game is online, and with confrontation, it becomes rich and interesting.

And these designs, whether they are demons or humans, have a lot of gameplay that can be extended and added to the details.

is worthy of Mr. Lin, a design draft is too genius.

And now that the virtual game has just come out, it will be done in this genre immediately, and it will definitely be popular.

Qin Zhen was very optimistic, so the game department started production, and according to Lin Le's words, he tested while doing it.

There is an additional virtual game warehouse in the lounge of Leli Interactive Entertainment.

After a week, the initial test was ready to go.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Qin Zhen couldn't wait to come to the lounge, and after entering the virtual warehouse, there was a button inside, and after clicking it, the game was started.

In the next moment, Qin Zhen felt a sense of weightlessness.

Then, the view begins to blur as the eye sees.

When the scenery in front of him became clear again, Qin Zhen was stunned. This is what virtual games are?

I was still in the lounge just now, but now I came to a pure white space.

This space is very holy, stretching into the distance with no end in sight, Qin Zhen can hear his own heartbeat and feel his body temperature.

It's like being in a second world, it's wonderful!

Qin Zhen's excited body trembled.......
