Chapter 226: Playing Games and Playing Games
"You play games every day, and your family has no opinion."
Wang Xu tapped his fingers on the countertop a few times, and said with his chin: "It's true that there are quite a few words, but I'm at school, and they can't take care of it, which is why I don't go home to live." ”
"The mansion garden is good, but it is a cage carefully built for me, I was born to dislike it, I am stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes every day, and I can't sleep well."
"Okay, I know that your house has a lot of maids, what do you like about this company?" Chen Bo changed the topic in time, so as not to leave tears of poverty.
Wang Xu commented: "His numerical system, I should have seen a more reasonable one, itself is a small studio research and development, and the team is not expensive to buy, 2 million." ”
"Playing games every day, it's quite a lot of time." Chen Bo only ate two packets of potato chips in the afternoon, and his stomach couldn't bear the hunger, so he wanted to go downstairs to buy something to eat.
The vending machine's Happy Water was sold out, so Chen Bo had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, buying Vita lemon tea and soda crackers to satisfy his hunger.
Back in the dormitory, Wang Xu told him that he used the company's account to buy the studio, which means that in the future, the project will lose money, and Chen Bo's interests will also be damaged.
Chen Bo is only a small shareholder, and he can't influence Wang Xu's decision-making, so he can only express his protest weakly: "I'll go, you're floating, don't invest for two years, and finally the company will go bankrupt and liquidate." ”
Wang Xu said indifferently: "This is the third company I have founded, and I am very experienced in cleaning up the mess. ”
"Aren't you going to pay for the team?"
"I don't like to be in charge very much, I will only vote if I can trust, and I plan to cover it for a while, and when the price rises, I will sell it to Ma Xiaoteng." Wang Xu himself is a layman, and it is not good to point fingers.
"Do you need to build a mathematical model for the numerical system of the game? Is it all kinds of dazzling function curves? Chen Bo chewed and swallowed slowly.
"That's right, the amount of work is quite complex and huge, and I can't understand a game."
Wang Xu also said: "Numerical requirements are based on the player experience, not in a vacuum. When the player wants the fight to take place in a place that ignores terrain and map size, there is no need to set a movement-related stat for the character. ”
"And when you want the player's attacks to reflect their damage ability, you shouldn't do too much defense, and when you want the combat process to be very skillful, then you need to add movement speed and skill CDs."
"All in all, a good game will pay attention to what kind of experience the in-game attributes bring to the player."
"On the premise of conforming to the gameplay experience, the attribute setting needs to meet three principles: understandability, visibility, diversity, and difference in benefits."
"How do you remember so clearly?" Chen Bo rolled his eyes.
"Do any of our students have a bad memory? Which is not unforgettable. ”
Wang Xu finished proudly, and then continued the topic just now: "Comprehensible means that a good attribute must be in line with common sense, and players can easily understand its role. ”
"In order to show off their cultural literacy, some carved hair designs like to play tricks and make some sentences and words in the clouds to create dyslexia, which is really the behavior of younger brothers."
"Visibility is the role that an attribute plays in a battle that the player can clearly perceive, and he knows that this attribute is at work, and it feels like 'I'm golden, I'm stronger.'"
"Diversity refers to the fact that players can give full play to their subjective initiative in the process of exploration, using different combinations to achieve unexpected results, such as melee mages, hammer priests, and other non-mainstream."
"The difference in benefits is that different attributes should play different roles in battles, or there are differences in benefits in different scenarios, such as the attribute restraint of the Three Kingdoms series."
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
"Yes, aren't my ears facing you?" Chen Bo sat in his position and didn't twist his head, "There will be social practice activities tomorrow, and I didn't explain the specific tasks, and the location is confidential?" ”
"It's certainly not a good thing to keep it secret, so be prepared to be abused." Wang Xu is used to this.
"Do you need me to tell you a few classic examples?"
"Tell me first how sure this project is to make money." Chen Bo asked a pointed question.
"Young people should have ideals and ambitions, and it is too vulgar to talk about money all the time, and happiness is the most important thing." Wang Xu smiled, his face slightly stiffened.
Chen Bo was slightly stunned: "Huh? Didn't you say that it was sold to Ma Xiaoteng? I'm panicking when you say that. ”
"10%, it's not interesting." Wang Xu symbolically gave a probability.
"You're a bit like DNF's enhancement amplification, knowing that it's no fun, you insist on the overlord making a bow." Chen Bo complained as much as he could.
Wang Xu joked: "This game is quite old, I can't imagine that you still like archaeology?" ”
"yes, I've played a lot of games, and I'm much older than you." Chen Bo was too lazy to raise the King of Boxing, Three Kingdoms, and Contra, which he was fascinated by as a child, so as not to expose his true age.
"Have you ever played Mapleland? This game has been in operation for decades and has endured, which can be regarded as a miracle in the industry. ”
In terms of the time of its birth, MapleStory Island was a few years before DNF, and it was all introduced from Smectana.
"I like to listen to the BGM of various scenes, but the agent is not good, if I change the twist vine to take over, the status quo may be better."
Although Goose Factory launched Adventure Island 2 in the future, the limelight is still not as good as the waning Adventure Island, and the too differentiated painting style makes it difficult for old players to find a sense of belonging in Adventure Island 2.
"The agent has been changed a long time ago, did you play with the pacifier bottle when you were holding it?" Wang Xu teased.
Chen Bo pretended to be confused and said: "My memory is confused, and I remember that none of the games I have played have a monetary system that does not collapse." ”
"If you want to stabilize prices, you first have to curb the studio's gold mining behavior, and the influx of a large amount of virtual currency into the market will make it expensive and cheap, because the studio can often buy equipment from merchants at a higher price."
"I've seen game operators try to use price ceilings to restrain the problem of excessively rapid price increases, but with little success, equipment transactions have been moved offline to be delivered with real money, perfectly bypassing regulation, and at the same time bringing hidden dangers to the transaction."
"Pumping transaction tax is a relatively common way, which eliminates a part of the circulating virtual currency in disguise, and determines that the proportion is the core, and it should not be too high to cause the trading market to be inactivated, and if it is too low, it is better than nothing, and it will not produce the expected effect."
Chen Bo waved his hand: "Don't say it, I have a headache when I hear it, is it so difficult to play a game quietly?" As long as there is money, there is no problem that cannot be solved. ”
"Sometimes, money really can't be solved, some games will set a damage ceiling, after hitting the ceiling, the marginal return of recharging money is quite low, and people who charge 1 million may not be able to beat 3 who have charged 300,000."
"This type of game is characterized by rapid version changes and a high depreciation rate of currency and equipment, forcing people to constantly recharge money to maintain the first echelon."
"I'd better keep eating my soda crackers." Chen Bo tried to squeeze out a smile in response.
