Chapter 47: Rough Design
"We must improve our strength as much as possible before the Demon Tide breaks out."
Meng Yang stood in the middle of the square of the survivor camp, thinking about the specific way to deal with the demon tide next.
He didn't know how much the Demon Tide would affect those monsters and transcendent species after the outbreak, but if he thought that even the City of Despair could be breached, the scale would definitely be far greater than he imagined.
"I need a sufficient number of players to deal with it, and I need the survivors of the Forgottenlands to work together."
It was certainly unrealistic to rely on the people of the Forgotten Lands to deal with the outbreak of the Demon Tide, and now there were survivors everywhere, even if the situation of the other camps was better than the one where Meng Yang was, with more young and powerful individuals, but this was still just a small wave.
The only way is to add enough players to enter the other world, and when the number of players is large enough, then even in the face of various monster armies, they can go all the way.
The problem now is that Meng Yang needs to increase the number of players as much as possible, and at the same time improve the strength of the players, and there must be a mechanism that can completely squeeze and not mobilize the enthusiasm of the players.
This is a different world, he was originally designed to log in to the game, just to fool players to help, but if you want to deal with a bigger crisis and let players form a scale, there must be a more reasonable way.
"Since I regard this other world as a game, then I will completely follow the routine of the game."
Meng Yang knew that the biggest motivation for the players he summoned to enter the other world through virtual devices was to experience 100% of the cross-era product.
This is the core competitiveness, as long as he lets the summoned elf pop up a few more times, waiting for the word-of-mouth fermentation among players, he will soon be able to have more and more user groups.
But then it's the most important thing.
He needs to build an operation system that really treats the other world as a game for players, so that players can have a better experience, now there are only dozens of players, and the time is short, he releases a few simple tasks by himself, and he can also notice the general situation, but if the number of people pouring in is large, most of them will definitely be out of balance.
Although he has released several missions now, he also has two things in the eyes of players, favorability and prestige, but in addition to summoning elves to assist Meng Yang in understanding, some things are still freely testified by Meng Yang himself.
"The main 100% simulation, this is already there!"
"A huge worldview, ready-made."
"Monsters, too."
"NPC, huh?!"
Meng Yang thought about it one by one, paused here for a moment, and then thought about it, "I should have a hall where I can post and accept quests, people in the Forgotten Lands post quests, and players go to pick up quests, like the kind in some fantasy novels, what kind of bounty hunter hall, mercenary hall and the like." ”
If there are enough players, it is important to effectively combine the players with the people of the Forgotten Lands, rather than through Meng Yang's group quests, which is a very important key point.
This is a truly immersive and immersive experience, with the benefit of increased player engagement and a better acceptance of the Forgotten Lands as a group of otherworldly.
"The people of the Forgotten Lands are here to post quests and ask for help, and players take them and complete them. The level of the mission is set from daily to urgent, dangerous, etc., and then I provide prestige rewards according to the task, well, the people of the Forgotten Lands release the rewards given by the mission, and they set it themselves, so I don't have to worry about this. I just need to build up the prestige system. ”
In Meng Yang's vision, the people of the Forgotten Lands could not directly issue tasks to players, but by establishing a task hall, and then he collected them together by summoning elves, and then released them, a mission system was established.
Of course, this also requires him to mobilize the survivors of the Forgotten Lands, but now most of the people in the Forgotten Lands are on the verge of struggling to survive, and this need will not be less, and even Xiao Anqi and others will throw a ball to the city wall, which can also be found by the players.
The goal is to deepen the bond between the survivors of the Forgotten Lands and the players, so that the survivors can get help and the players can get the game experience.
As for the survivors of the Forgotten Lands directly asking the player for help or something, of course this is also possible, this is a transaction between the survivor and the individual player, and there is no prestige increase.
"Since there is a reputation system, what players need next is a visual reputation data, well, it should actually be a character panel."
Meng Yang thought of the next problem that needed to be solved, for gamers, without a suitable panel to view the attributes, there would be a lack of motivation.
He had previously read an article analyzing the appeal of online games to teenagers, and in addition to the novelty and fun, it was an instant feedback mechanism and visual character growth.
Meng Yang can't directly change the basic attributes of the players, but he can summon the elves to provide them with a quantifiable panel.
"Well, first of all, the name, this next time I log in, add a name panel. Then there's gender selection, which is a bit redundant. Then there is the level, ordinary players are ordinary people, and the awakened transcendent seed is a first-order transcendent. Occupation, occupation does not. And then there's the prestige and favorability, which can be canceled, it's a private thing, and there's no way to quantify it except for myself, so keep the prestige of the City of Despair. And then there's the task panel, which has to have ......"
According to his previous experience in playing games, combined with the general situation of the other world he is in now, Meng Yang quickly came up with a personal attribute panel for players.
It's simple, and it's crude.
"Solve the problem first, and then patch the rest. What's next, what should I do? ”
Meng Yang now feels that he is now playing farm management and real-time strategy, which is the one he is not good at, and he can still play simple role-playing, just a word of recklessness.
Just as Meng Yang was thinking about what to set up next, there was a sudden rush at the gate of the camp in front of him, and suddenly a violent noise came.
The entire camp was boiling at this moment, both the players and the survivors of the Forgotten Lands were boiling at this time, and a huge figure was dragged by the players to the base.
The sawtooth tiger, which had come to the camp from time to time to wreak havoc, was lying on the ground at the moment, its thick patterned fur covered with wounds and bloodstains, especially a part under its tail, which now had a huge wound.
With the combined efforts of four players who had awakened the Transcendent Seed, the sawtooth tiger eventually followed the gnoll's footsteps.
"Wow, it's really amazing, has the strength of the Awakening Extraordinary Seed increased so much?"
"I'm going to wake up too!"
"Does this sawtooth tiger have the materials to synthesize potions in it?"
……
The sound of the players' discussion reached Meng Yang's ears, and Meng Yang patted his head lightly and found the next step to do.
"The step of players awakening the transcendent seed is the key, this is the upgrade mode of my "Journey to the Other World", players have seen the path to upgrade, and I just need players to improve their strength, the mentor in my hand is ready now, and the next step is to set it in detail."
"You have to reach a certain level of prestige before you can learn, but this prestige can't be seen by the people of the Forgotten Lands, so you can't always ask me to assign them one by one, right? Well, let's make a reputation ranking now, and the top five people in prestige have been rewarded with potions before, so let's follow this for the time being. The top 10% of players with Fame can choose to learn from Phoenix, Sheila, and Gusa. ”
"In addition, there are potions, this should be a shopping mall, there is no currency system, then it is still exchanged for prestige, you can add another place to exchange prestige for goods, exchange potions through prestige, or exchange prestige through potion synthesis and dismantling, yes, you can also let Gusa enchant a few weapons with some grades when you go back, so that it can form a simple cycle, right?"
Meng Yang racked his brains to plan the development route behind, and from time to time he squatted down to write and draw, the problem of the fifty players in front of him was easy to solve, the key is to take into account the problems that will arise later when there are more people.
"Reputation is gained, it can be obtained by completing tasks, and then ...... Then it should be to contribute magic crystals, and I need a lot of magic crystals right now. ”
The role of the magic crystal is already indispensable, this is the energy source for summoning the magic circle, and at the same time it can enchant weapons, and according to the new camp Gusa, the magic crystal is an energy body after the energy is exhausted, someone polishes the magic crystal well, and then inputs a small amount of energy through other magic crystals, and it can also play the role of LED panels.
"Let the summoning elves control this, will I be able to make a large billboard when I go back?"
Meng Yang felt that his thinking was constantly jumping and diverging, and there were more and more problems of various kinds, some of which he could only vaguely and perfunctory, some of which were directly grafted with the things that already existed in the Forgotten Land, and some of which could be used to give players some auxiliary functions of the game by summoning spirits as much as possible.
"Well, it's a little rougher, anyway, I'll patch it when I encounter problems in the future, and game planning and game development are really tiring! If there is another operation, it will not be a dog's brain. ”
Meng Yang complained to himself in his heart, looking at the camp that had become a little boiling because of the appearance of four players who had awakened the Transcendent Seed, and exhaled softly.
"First release a construction task, let the foot men build me a task hall and prestige mall, and when these are done, I should do three closed tests without deleting files. This time, the number of players will be increased by another hundred, and with the experience of "Journey to the Otherworld", I shouldn't need to let the summoned elves go to the pop-up window, right? ”
"By the way, I don't know what I'm going to do if my game makes a splash in the original world. Forget it, whatever, I can't wait for them to come here and check the water meter and get me back. ”
