Alpha 0.9 Developer Diary

Xiaoqi: "Hello everyone, I'm your dearest planner Ah Guang - your dearest assistant!" Due to the collective anger of the Development Department, the Planning Department, and the Art Department due to the overtime work taken by the Laundry Gull, we decided to sell him to the mutant tribe in a can of starfish...... Anyway, we ended up with Alpha 0.9, and this update is huge. Since Ah Guang is still working overtime, this time he entrusted me to talk to you about the design ideas and gameplay of the new version! ”

"First of all, the biggest change in Alpha 0.9 compared to version 0.8 is that we have added a class system and skill proficiency settings for Wasteland Online."

"To be honest, we were very hesitant when it came time to make this decision. After all, what we originally wanted to do was a sandbox game with freedom and virtual communities as the selling point, and the main focus on casual entertainment, and even the kind of character interface that we didn't even plan to develop, and the concept of classes seemed to be the opposite of that. ”

"However, as the game continues to enrich and players become more and more involved in the open world, our NPCs are gradually falling into a dilemma - that is, there is a limit to what can be done, and how to allocate the limited opportunities to those who need it more."

"Zhang San likes fishing, Li Si likes farming, we have a hoe and a fishing rod in our hands, the ideal situation is to give the fishing rod to Zhang San and the hoe to Li Si. But now that the number of players has risen to 800, it's unfair to decide who will do the task in a kypa way, so we need to set a standard! ”

"And the career system and skill proficiency are born for this!"

"Taking logging as an example, when a player carries a VM to cut down a tree or complete a logging task, the proficiency of logging skills will automatically accumulate, and when you reach the upper limit, you will increase your skill level, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10. This level is independent of the genetic sequence level, and the level of each skill is calculated independently. While leveling up a skill won't give you an intuitive productivity bonus, it can unlock more lucrative tasks related to that skill, and even exclusive titles like Ace Lumberjack or Forest Destroyer! ”

"In addition to logging, skills that can increase proficiency include firearms, throwing, archery, fighting, medicine, scavenging, slaughtering, cooking, building, tailoring, metallurgy, manufacturing, planting, mining, and more...... More than 40 kinds, more details please explore by yourself! ”

"The 'career system' is more of a status symbol or title than a skill proficiency system."

"For example, after the warehouse manager 'Guo Niu' becomes a waste picker, the proficiency of waste picking skills will accumulate faster, and he will be entrusted with important tasks in the waste picking work, receive the exclusive waste picker profession, and become a 'waste picker master' or even a 'garbage king' after the conditions are met!"

"You can work as a farmer or butcher at the granary keeper 'Guo Ma', unlock more seeds or take more slaughter orders."

"In addition, some professions have a certain skill proficiency threshold, such as if you want to become a hunter, hunting is a more worthy goal, you need to meet any of the three skills of firearms, throwing, and archery to reach level 3, or pay 10 silver coins to open the hunting skill assessment."

"Similar professions include soldiers, architects, prospectors, and so on. Mercenaries, adventurers, engineers and other professions will be opened in the future, please pay attention to the official website for more content! ”

"New players can only register one class, and as they move up the status level, the number of classes they can register will increase. For example, a citizen can register two occupations, a medium citizen can register three, and so on. Registered classes can be cancelled at any time, but the achievements and titles associated with that class will also be cleared, so choose carefully! ”

"In addition, we will solve the photo problem in the next version, allowing players to record beautiful moments with their cameras."

"If it is not solved in the next version, the next version will definitely be there!"

……

Less than a minute after the update announcement and dev log were issued, hundreds of comments were added to the bottom of the post.

However, the reason for the high mood of players is not because of the new class system.

It can even be said that it has nothing to do with the content of this major update of this version.

Shadow Moon Remnant: "White hair! It's white hair! White Hair Control Ecstasy! (Broken sound)"

This son is really terrifying: "It's too astringent, it's too astringent!" ”

Irena: "Doesn't anyone call his wife?" Then I'll shout. (Funny)"

Quit smoking: "Planning dad is awesome!" (Broken sound)"

Tail: "prprpr"

Siss: "Wow! This man! No, this tail! ”

Canyon Fugitive Mole: "Tsk, you LSPs, doesn't anyone care about this updated class system and skill proficiency?" Such an important matter, what about the topic! How can you run to an NPC! (knocking on the table)"

Fang Chang: "I'm sorry, this plan is too good. (Nosebleed)"

Night Ten: "+1, Mole Brother GKD!" (Funny)"

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Gan! Why did you even turn against Fang Chang, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes! ”

There was a lot of buzz in the post.

The same goes for forums outside of posts.

The official website has been completely blown up by these cloud players, sand sculpture netizens and fun people.

Especially with the Alpha 0.9 version this time, the number of players has been directly increased from 500 to 800!

This time, 300 test places were released at once, which made all the little newcomers who got out of Africa and entered Europe excited.

What is the concept of having more than 200 acceptance speeches at the same time at the forum?

Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of lemons and tens of thousands of melons.

At the most exaggerated time, the post was almost swiping at a speed of 5 meters per second, and the post that was just sent out was like a stone thrown into a river, sinking directly to the second page.

Refresh it again, and I can't find it at all.

didn't squeeze the server down, it seems that this operator is also bloody!

After reading the announcement, Lao Bai glanced at the number of appointments.

Good guy, a few minutes ago it was 23333, and in a blink of an eye, it jumped to 27777 and went directly to the 30,000 mark!

Are these people doing questions so fast?!

……

Cattle and horse club group.

No one discussed the new version on the official website, so everyone had to go to their respective small groups to discuss it.

WC really has mosquitoes: "Comfortable! My contribution points are just enough for 10,000, and I will directly ascend to the top of the people on the spot! (bared teeth)"

Hurricane: "I'm 12,000, and sure enough, it's still useful to save contributions." ”

Tomato scrambled eggs: "Gan, I'm still 2000 short, why did you brush it?" How can it be so fast! ”

Quit smoking: "That's it! I've just arrived as a citizen, and you liver emperors are too exaggerated! QAQ”

Night Ten: "Great, you can buy land again!" (Funny)"

Citizenship levels require 2000 contributions, and medium citizens are almost fivefold.

However, this does not mean that it is five times more difficult to move from citizen to medium citizen, after all, as the level increases, the rewards of the quest also increase.

If you are serious about the liver, you can almost arrive in a month, and if you are a little more leisurely, two or three months are enough, and there are 120 points for a daily life, not to mention LV5, many tasks are directly on the 200~500 file, as long as the equipment and level go up, the contribution is still very fast.

For example, the group owners and dog managers have been brushing the greenhouse ruins recently, and the silver coins and contribution income are basically four figures, and the contribution will be slightly higher. The average daily income can reach up to 600 tribute, and the lowest income is about 400 tribute.

Some life professional players are similar, such as mosquitoes, and the warehouse has long had orders for making nitrocellulose, and this demand has been strong for a long time.

Especially after the regional prestige system was updated in version 0.8, the material donation function was opened, and life players had another way to make contributions.

As long as you donate strategic materials, you can not only gain the regional prestige of the "capital", but also get some of the general contribution points of your own faction!

10,000 points of contribution, which is really not a lot.

The conversation quickly shifted to the new class system and skill proficiency system.

Fang Chang: "I just played the game, and my archery skill proficiency is actually 4." ”

Lao Bai: "It seems that the previous proficiency has also been counted." ”

Fang Chang: "To be precise, it should be the proficiency accumulated after getting the VM." It's safe to guess that our current proficiency levels are based on those behavioral data. ”

Night Ten: "The manager has really hammered the collection of our personal information through the VM. (Funny)"

Hurricane: "Speaking of which, what profession do you plan to bring?" ”

Fang Chang: "Medium citizens can bring three, my words, tentatively hunters, soldiers, and prospectors." ”

Tempest: "Without scavengers?" ”

Fang Chang: "There are not enough grids, no way." The hunter must bring it, and if he fights the money artifact, he will also have to bring the hunting income bonus. Needless to say, the soldier is probably the son of the version, hasn't it been updated recently? There's definitely a chance to use it. Do explorers still need to talk? The site of the ecological laboratory is also estimated to be a high-yield capital. ”

Quit smoking: "Big guy! What kind of career should newcomers bring? QAQ”

Fang Chang: "You are a physique department, if it is a strength department, you can hang a lumberjack first and brush the strength attribute on it." In terms of physique and perception, hang the scavenger, this profession panacea. Once you've reached Citizen, you can bring another Hunter or Soldier with you, depending on how you plan to play this version. ”

Night Ten: "Picking up garbage will always be a god!" I don't care, I'm going to pick up the trash anyway. (Funny)"

Picking up trash level 99: "Who's calling me??? ”

Night Ten: "Wow! You're still in the group. ”

Picking up garbage level 99: "Gan! Look, are you talking about human words? ”

The lizard dude has been "hibernating" since the last battle, and hasn't been bubbling up in the pack much lately.

It's been a long time since I've seen him, and Night Ten actually has a kind of intimate feeling.

Tempest: "Did you go to the new map?" ”

Fang Chang: "I'm planning to go, do you want to go together?" ”

Tempest: "Let's go!" ”

Lao Bai: "Huh? Are you not going to class in a while? ”

Hurricane: "I don't have classes this morning, I can play until 12 o'clock." ”

Night Ten: "Coincidentally, I don't have a day of class today, I can reward myself for a whole day." (Funny)"

Lao Bai: "You kid should be leisurely, don't play games every day, don't talk about a girlfriend in college, and be careful of being deceived when you go to society." ”

Night Ten: "Hehe, what kind of object to talk about, is it not fragrant to dry rice or not fragrant to play?" The third dimension is a shet, you go to roll it, I have a small fish is enough. (Funny)"

Tempest: "That's enough for you to sentence." ”

Night Ten: "Anyway, don't keep talking about me, when I go to the cafeteria, I can occasionally meet a senior girl who asks me for WeChat, you pinch?" It's almost thirty years old, and I play games online on time every day, and I am so self-disciplined that I don't have sex, is it appropriate to lie flat like this? ”

Fang Chang: "Tsk, kick this person out." ”

Tempest: "+1, and it's not that I don't want to, it's just boring and boring." ”

Lao Bai: "I'll open a poll and post it." ”

[The group owner initiates a vote: whether to kick the.] 1. Yes, 2. Agree]

Night Ten: "Gan! What about friendship? Also, why are both options kicking me! ”

Picking up garbage level 99: "Hahahaha, who wants you to pull hatred, yes!" ”

Everyone is an old friend, and if you usually make a joke, it is naturally impossible to really kick it.

The group owner still has something to do during the day, so he didn't follow the line.

Fang Chang, Tempest, and Night Ten had breakfast, made an appointment to put on their helmets again, and quickly returned to the line.

I thought that there would be a lot of people queuing in front of the elevator tower on the B2 floor, but when they came to the lobby, they found that there were not as many people as they imagined.

Take a closer look, good guy, there is actually a safe passage updated next to the elevator tower!

Was it a wall before?

It seems that the operators are also aware of the lack of elevator capacity in the shelters.

With the opening of the B3 floor, players who do not want to wait for the elevator can now use the stairs to move between the open floors.

It would be nice to upgrade the elevator outside!

Come to the B3 floor.

Fang Chang glanced around, touched his chin and thought for a moment, and gave his own evaluation.

"The layout here looks a lot like the B2 floor."

Night Ten also said.

"I can't say it's very similar, it's just the same."

Tempest looked at the wall to the side, where a floor plan was reflected.

"It's still a little different, you look at the corridor between Area A and Area B, and at the end of the corridor in Area B2 is a locked warehouse. In the same location on the B3 floor, the space is obviously several times larger, and there are several more areas to explore. ”

"Well, I noticed that just now," Fang Chang nodded, "It seems that the core area of the new level is there...... Anyway, let's go and see. ”

With that, Fang Chang walked in front and led the two of them to explore the past in the direction of the corridor.

After passing through Blocks A and B, the first thing you pass by is a white room.

Judging by the operating table-like recliner in the center of the room, and the layout and décor of the room, it appears to be an infirmary or something like that.

When the three of them stood in the doorway, there was already a female player with short ear-length hair and a high ponytail.

Looking around, Si Si said in surprise.

"It's actually an infirmary, and it feels like a medical laboratory...... Anyway, can't the door be opened? ”

Tail: "Huh? How does Sith know so much? Is it because you go there often? ”

Si Si glanced at his tail: "That's true, but I'm going to see someone." ”

Although it is a pathology department with a relatively low sense of presence, and there are more formalin people than living people in contact every day, it can barely be regarded as a medical treatment, right?

Tail: "Doctor! I'm sick, give me well! ”

Sisi stretched out his hands listlessly and made a ghost-scratching motion.

"I'm looking at my brain, I have to cut it open to see it."

Tail: "!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ”

Siss: "Oh, how did you come up with emojis in the game?" ”

Looking at the two men behind the glass wall, the three gentlemen were silent for a moment, and unanimously decided that it was better not to disturb them.

Fang Chang: "Let's visit another place." ”

Night Ten: "Agreed. ”

Tempest didn't speak, but nodded.

The three of them continued on, and then passed by a sci-fi plantation area.

There is not a single grain of soil in sight in the entire planting area, only the planting units that are shaped like fish tanks - according to the official website, it seems to be the name.

Tempest glanced at the VM and was surprised to find that the name of each facility had been updated on the minimap, as well as a brief description of the facility's functions.

It seems that this Alpha 0.9 update is far more than just the class system, and also secretly changes some of the in-game settings.

Not bad.

Finally, you don't have to rely on your brain to make up for it!

"From the map on the VM, it seems to be a planting area...... The theoretical planting area is 50 acres. ”

"Is there 50 acres here?"

"There are 50 shelf-like three-dimensional planting units, and I guess it means that each three-dimensional planting unit is equivalent to one acre of land."

Anyway, there are already greenhouse ruins, is there still a need for such a facility to exist?

Or is there a seed bank where seeds from pre-war crops are stored?

Fang Chang thought in his heart.

Not far away, Macaba was holding the three-dimensional planting unit, talking incoherently excitedly, not knowing what to say.

And the one standing next to him seems to be a fishing guy who "pulls less calves".

"Fuck off! You don't want to touch my earth! ”

"What's not the ground, this is obviously a fish tank!"

"Your fish tank looks like this!?"

“%￥#@！”

The three exchanged glances, tacitly decided not to disturb them, and continued to walk forward.

Further ahead, there is a small room with a radioactive sign on the door.

"This seems to be the power room?" Comparing the text on the VM, Fang Chang said thoughtfully, "According to the information on the official website, it should be used to put the fusion reactor?" ”

Ye Shi glanced around and muttered, "There doesn't seem to be much to see here, and the open area is very small...... I thought I could see the inside of the reactor. ”

Fang Chang: "After all, this kind of technology beyond reality in science fiction games is not easy to compile, so you are usually given a bunch of models to make up for yourself." ”

The reactors were not in this long, narrow room of less than 20 square meters, and they had a thick wall and a closed alloy door in front of them.

The alloy door has a small window that allows for a view of the metal support behind the wall and the half-outline of what appears to be a controllable fusion reactor.

Tempest walked in, took a curious closer look, and reached out and gently pushed the door.

However, the door seemed to be fixed to the space, and it didn't move.

Maybe this part was originally a texture?

Or maybe the operator hasn't figured out how to make it up, or doesn't plan to waste time on inconsequential details.

Seeing that there was no response no matter how much he tried, Hurricane took his hand back and said with a regretful face.

"It's a pity."

Although he doesn't think that operators can have any eye-catching brain holes, it is inevitable that people will be curious when it comes to professional-related fields.

If only I could see what it looks like.

……

While the players were exploring the new content of version 0.9, Chu Guang, the manager of the entire shelter, was standing in the last area of the "functional area" on the B3 floor - there was no warehouse open to players for the time being.

There are two "black boxes" in the warehouse, one large and one small.

[Item: Black Box]

[No.:NO.11]

[Function: Production of vital signs monitor]

[Instructions for use: Put it in the atmosphere, turn on the power supply, input 3L water, 300g aluminum, 200g iron, 100g copper, 50g nickel ......]

[Available: Vital Signs Monitor, Organic/Inorganic Waste.] 】

——

[Item: Black Box]

[No.X]

[Function: Clone Exclusive Sleeping Pod]

[Instructions for use: Put it in the atmosphere, turn on the power, input 100L water, 50KG aluminum, 30KG iron, 5KG copper, 100g nickel, 8g gold ......]

[Available: Cloned hibernation chambers, organic/inorganic waste.] 】

The small black box, the size of a normal suitcase, was similar to the one he had found in Vault 117.

And the other big one is not so much a box as a small car.

At the same time, a pale blue window appeared in front of Chu Guang—it was the data card projected by the manager system in his field of vision.

Walking to the box numbered NO.X, Chu Guang found a palm-sized lid with stick figures and instructions that even the illiterate could understand.

However......

It doesn't explain what this thing is for.

After flipping through the manual in his hand and reading it twice, a strange expression appeared on Chu Guang's face.

At this time, Xia Yan, who came from the side, muttered for him, what he wanted to say but didn't say.

"Sleep pods for clones?"

"Hey, what the hell is this thing for?"
