Dragon Slayer.

Wang Yu is pinching people......

In many online games, there is often a so-called pinching process when the player builds a character......

In fact, in the original various online games, in many games, the character's occupation and image are often completely linked, that is, because of this, so many times, in order to play a profession, players will inevitably have to be a shemale, for example, in many games, archers and magicians are often limited to female characters, and warriors and knights are often limited to male characters, not only the gender of the role is limited, but also the shape is limited, once a profession is chosen, Then it is basically bound to be the same shape......

In fact, most of the earliest online games are basically this common situation, in the final analysis, in essence, it is nothing more than because for players, there are too few choices, so game companies often rarely really pay attention to the player's experience, after all, for game companies, it is enough to make money, and there is no need to pay too much attention to unnecessary details......

With the passage of time, with the increasing number of game companies and the increasing number of online games, game companies have to start to strive for excellence in games in the competition......

It is in this environment that various games have begun to launch a relatively open character system, that is, players can choose a variety of types of characters to play, the same role can choose different professions, the same profession can choose different roles, and at the same time, the player can choose the gender of the character independently. Adjust various details of the character......

And this process. It is also called the so-called pinching man......

In the beginning. The vast majority of character selections are generally stored in a fixed template, and then there is not much room for adjustment, and it is often a very careful game to adjust the height of some accessories......

With the development of the game, the pinching of characters when the game begins to create characters tends to become more detailed, and even some extreme players set up game characters. It may take more than half an hour or even longer just to create a character, and they will carefully shape every detail of their game character, striving to make their character have unique characteristics that only belong to them......

Speaking of which, in fact, the so-called pinching people, in essence, brings players more, mainly a sense of belonging to the game......

The same profession, a character whose appearance is completely created by himself. and system-defined characters to bring players a gaming experience. It's definitely a completely different feeling, but in addition, the picture of a thousand people in a game, and the picture that everyone will have different appearance and characteristics even if they use the same template, is a completely different concept......

Of course, it is undeniable that the more complex the character engine, the more resources need to be invested by the game developer, but it is undeniable that the more images players can choose from and the more details they can adjust, the more attractive the game will be......

And that's a matter of course......

For players, the more the characters in the game can satisfy their hearts, the more motivated and immersive they will be when they play......

This is actually a matter of substitution......

For the vast majority of people, whether playing games or reading novels, the sense of substitution is actually very important......

Novels with a sense of substitution, readers will be more likely to invest in love, and because of this, the vast majority of novels are male protagonists, if you have to investigate the reason, it is nothing more than because the vast majority of readers are also male, female protagonists of novels, although it is not that there is no market at all, but after all, in terms of substitution, there is still a lack of meaning......

The more immersive the novel, the more it will be recognized by the reader, and in a novel with a high sense of substitution, the more refreshing the plot, the more satisfied the reader will feel......

From the perspective of substitution, the protagonists who can make readers feel a strong sense of substitution are often very ordinary ordinary people......

Neither the kind of character who lives at the bottom of society, nor the so-called second generation who was born with a golden key to grow up, the vast majority of the protagonists are often very ordinary ordinary people, have an ordinary family, attend an ordinary school, engage in ordinary work, are not tall or short, and their appearance is often ordinary......

The reason is very simple, for readers, the more ordinary and mediocre the characters, the easier it is for readers to find similarities with themselves, so as to produce a sense of substitution, because the vast majority of readers themselves are also this type of people......

On the contrary, if the so-called sword eyebrows and starry eyes, all the so-called suave and suave, but any so-called outstanding, the sense of substitution that readers can find from it will be relatively weak, and the story will often change from the intuitive feeling of the first person to the indirect feeling of the third person......

And like the name of the protagonist in the novel, but all those clever authors, often when the name is not too public, the general situation, is a two-word name, rarely the protagonist is a compound surname, or the situation of ethnic minorities, because this kind of protagonist, the sense of substitution brought to people, is often the weakest one......

Of course, not all novel authors will pursue a sense of substitution for readers, in some novels, the author often hopes that readers will see the story from a God's perspective, rather than substituting themselves into the story, just like the story of Detective Conan, ordinary people will not bring themselves into the body of a primary school student like Conan, that is, because of this, even if Conan is often in danger, for comic book readers, they will not feel too much worry. It's more just an expectation of the follow-up plot......

And in general. But all novels of this kind. More or less, there may be a phenomenon of abuse of the master, however, because for readers, the novel itself does not have the so-called sense of substitution, so even if it is abuse, readers can often watch it, and even because of the protagonist's bad luck, they will be interested in the follow-up plot, of course. This requires a very high level of writing to be able to do it......

It can be said that the two novel characteristics of substitution and abuse are actually very incompatible, and novels with a strong sense of substitution should avoid the plot of abuse as much as possible, and on the contrary, all novels that abuse the master should reduce the sense of substitution generated by readers as much as possible, and it is best to design some identity backgrounds for the protagonist that ordinary people are not easy to have a sense of substitution, so as to avoid poisoning readers......

As for those that trigger a sense of substitution in the reader. And then the crazy novel of abusing the master, then basically it must be a rhythm of going far. In fact, not to mention the online novel, even the Condor Heroes of Jin Yong were boycotted and complained by a large number of readers when Yin Zhiping became a dragon knight, not to mention when Yang Guo broke his arm......

And the same principle as novels, in a variety of games, the player's sense of immersion experience is also very important......

It can even be said that compared with novels, the sense of substitution brought to players by the role games in the game is often much greater than that of the novel!

After all, the protagonist in the novel, whether his ability or name, is given by the author, and readers can only try to substitute themselves if they want to find a sense of substitution......

Unlike games, the characters in the game are often created by the players themselves......

From the character's name, to the character's occupation, to the character's height and appearance, and even the character's personality traits, this qiē is all created by the player......

In a sense, the player's role in the game is actually more like a doppelganger of the player himself in the game......

Yes, doppelgangers!

It's like in Jin Yong's novel The Legend of Deer and Ding......

There is no other reason why Kangxi regards Wei Xiaobao as his siblings, it is nothing more than because, in Kangxi's view, Wei Xiaobao is himself like his own doppelganger......

As an emperor, he can't leave the palace, so he naturally can't measure what kind of achievements he can achieve if he goes to the rivers and lakes......

For Emperor Kangxi, Wei Xiaobao is a person who is about the same as himself, about the same age, about the same kung fu, about the same adaptability, in Kangxi's view, he is better than Wei Xiaobao in every aspect, so whatever Wei Xiaobao can do, he will feel that he can also do it, and he can do it better, that is, because of this, he will always send Wei Xiaobao to do all kinds of things he wants to do, but he can't do it......

Because of this, he will hand over all kinds of things that he wants to do, but can't do in person, to Wei Xiaobao to deal with, in order to see if he can do these things himself, whether he can do it well, if he can do it well, if Wei Xiaobao can do it, then he can do it himself, and if Wei Xiaobao does it well, then he can also do it better......

This is Kangxi's idea, that is, because of this, whenever Wei Xiaobao completes the various tasks assigned by Kangxi, Kangxi always does not hesitate to reward Wei Xiaobao, on the one hand, it is because of Wei Xiaobao's ability to do things, but in fact, it is also a reward for himself......

It wasn't until Kangxi knew Wei Xiaobao's identity of the Heaven and Earth Society that he really realized one thing, Wei Xiaobao was not his doppelganger, Wei Xiaobao had a lot of abilities, all of which he did not have, and because of this, the relationship with Wei Xiaobao was estranged, and even broke up......

In essence, for Kangxi, Wei Xiaobao's existence has always been such a state similar to a doppelganger or a stand-in in his cognition, in fact, it is like a game character created by players in the game, and the game character itself is often a stand-in for players in the game......

Before playing a game, many players often have a certain plan for the growth of the game character......

This kind of planning often involves what kind of forces to join in your role and what kind of skills to learn. What kind of development path to take. What to choose the main profession. What subclass to choose, what attribute assignment to choose, what skill assignment to choose, and so on and so forth......

The success of a character in the game is actually equivalent to the success of the player's planning, and this satisfaction is difficult to replace......

For players, the more the game character can fit their hearts. Then the more it can bring a sense of satisfaction to the player......

Make them feel like they're really in the middle of the game......

On the other hand, if the game gives the player too few choices, or simply does not give the player the right to choose, then it will be difficult for the player to feel substituted......

It can be said that the creation of a game character is the first step for players to understand the game......

The setting of a game is not detailed enough, and it can often be seen from the step of creating a character, and in the earliest games, players were not very particular about it, even if the shape was exactly the same. They also won't have much to complain about as early as the earliest. It is a stage where there are very few online games, and in this stage, it is already very good to be able to play, and naturally there will be no players to pick and choose......

However, with the increasing number of online game companies, there are more and more high-quality online games, and players are often pursuing higher details of the game, which is why game companies have to improve the quality of the game to try to attract more players and stand out from the competition......

There is no doubt that creating a character is often the most important step......

If this step makes the player feel satisfied and fit, then the player will be less likely to want to leave or give up in the next game process, and it will be easier for the player to feel like belonging to the game......

On the contrary, if the appearance of the game character is too curious, it is often easy for people to feel disgusted, or subconsciously produce a sense of rejection, which is also not conducive to the player's experience in the game......

The so-called pinching actually refers to the process of pinching people in most online games to create game characters......

Generally speaking, the larger the classic game, the higher the requirements for this aspect, and the more elaborate the setting, the more it can meet the various needs of players......

Generally speaking, players enter a game, first need to choose a race, different races will have different appearance and figure, this is actually a kind of big template choice, players choose a race, in fact, it is equivalent to choosing this race as the initial template for creating their own characters, and then based on this template, players can choose the character's occupation through guò, to the original primary template, and then add the template of the previous profession, after the career template is added, Players can continue to adjust the character's height, face, shape, facial features, and finally make a series of fine-tuning, often forming a unique game character......

And such a process is often very important for many players, especially for many perfectionists, if they are not able to create a character that fully satisfies their aesthetics, it will often consume a lot of time and energy in this link alone......

Of course, because of this, when players create their own unique game characters, the inner satisfaction is often very strong......

However, this kind of game that puts a lot of effort into the process of building a character at the beginning can always make players have a relatively positive view of the game before the game starts, and they will look forward to the adventures of the characters they have built in the game, and they will feel excited and looking forward to it from the bottom of their hearts......

Creating a new character from scratch is a relatively novel experience for many players......

The biggest difference between Phantom and other games is that in other online games, the creation of game characters is often based on a variety of original templates, and even if players are satisfied with the characters, they can only shape the characters on top of various original templates......

But the fantasy world is different, in the fantasy world, the player's original template is the player's own image in reality. Players only need to be on their own realistic image. Make corrections. You can realize the almost perfect embodiment of your own will, and you can make limited corrections to what you are not satisfied with in reality......

It can be said that the popularity of the Phantom World has a lot to do with the character creation system of the Phantom World, and the vast majority of players can make a certain correction to their real appearance through guò, so as to get a very novel and perfect game experience. In the game, you don't have to worry about people you don't know know you well, and you don't have to worry about acquaintances not recognizing each other......

In the fantasy world, players can be very, very meticulous in their own corrections, whether it is height or appearance, players can make a certain amount of changes to their original appearance, this change, will not fundamentally change a person's appearance, but it is enough to make the vast majority of people with ordinary appearance. It looks like it has become very characteristic of its own, and it can also make a lot of people who originally looked a little unsightly. At least you can see it......

Because of this, in the eyes of many players, their own characters in the fantasy world can be said to be themselves under a perfect form, and this perfect form can be said to make players look forward to the game for a long time......

Many times, for the vast majority of ordinary people, their appearance and their confidence often have a lot to do with handsome people, often do things more confidently, and the personality will be relatively cheerful, while ugly-looking people are always more likely to lack self-confidence, which is why some people, after plastic surgery, are always easier to succeed......

On the one hand, it is of course the advantage of the change in appearance, on the other hand, it is more due to psychological changes......

And there is no doubt that the existence of the fantasy world really makes many players feel a sense of confidence, especially when controlling the perfect version of themselves to use various skills to fight in the illusion world, it will make players have a sense of confidence and pleasure from the heart......

For the vast majority of ordinary people, they will definitely feel that their appearance is defective to a greater or lesser extent, and because of this, when they encounter benefits that can make up for their defects, they often cherish this kind of welfare......

In fact, in many cases, even if many people have undergone their own corrections, in fact, in the eyes of others, they are not at all so-called perfection, but they themselves will have unspeakable self-confidence because of this self-correction......

In the final analysis, many ordinary people actually have more or less inferiority complex, they always feel that they are inferior in the eyes of others, but in fact, other people often do not look at them like this, but they are just worried about themselves, and this kind of self-correction, more often corrected, is not what other people think of them, but their own views of themselves, nothing more......

In fact, for the strong in the real sense, no matter what their appearance is, what their appearance is, in the final analysis, it is naturally formed, excluding natural and man-made disasters, in fact, a qiē on their body, in essence, does not need to make any adjustments, what they need to do is not to let themselves cater to the approval of others, but to let others cater to their own aesthetics......

In fact, the vast majority of people in power in this world, whether they are rich or rich, will not give people any ugly feeling, even if this person's appearance is indeed not good-looking, but with his name, it will not make people feel any ugly, this is a kind of strong man's heartfelt temperament......

The existence of the strong is actually like Godzilla, although Godzilla is a monster, although the appearance looks very vicious, but in fact, this monster has countless fans around the world, for no other reason, it is nothing more than because of its huge body and its great strength, that's all......

If it's strong enough, then ugliness is no longer ugly......

It is a pity that there are many people who really understand this truth, but there are very few people who can really practice the unity of knowledge...... (To be continued......)
