Siphael has also read some novels before that are labeled as "Player Stream" or "Fourth Scourge Stream".

However, in Siefer's view, in this kind of novel, the player's work motivation and subjective initiative have mostly been dramatically embellished. There are also many novels, which themselves take place before the emergence of immersive virtual reality games, and the protagonist's game is the only virtual reality game in the world.

Or, the protagonist of the novel has strictly screened the players, and the player's literacy is far from representing the average level of normal players.

In fact, is there any investment potential for the "Call to Players" project?

As a dedicated Seraphic Angel and Devil's Grand Duke, Siefel spent 3 minutes learning about game production through a search engine.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that by summoning the player, he could make himself, the lord, lose even the coffin!

Such a project has so much potential! The future is limitless!

Siefel wrote in his mental file, listing the "advantages" of summoning players one by one.

First of all, it was a very legitimate, justification for mobilizing the resources of hell, and with the intelligence of the Book of Lords, there was no flaw at all.

But as long as the project is promoted, it will inevitably make the first layer of the Nine Prisons lose even the principal and interest.

The first point is that summoning so many players requires the creation of a physical body for each player. This requires a large amount of alchemy solution, and a huge amount of soul energy is consumed during the production process.

But as long as you think about it, you know that most of the "accounts" created by players are going to be wasted!

Because virtual reality games are a new type of games, and the current mainstream are stand-alone buyout product games, which do not care about the "retention rate", and SIFEER cannot find authoritative retention data for reference.

But Siefel refers to service games that continue to operate on other platforms.

Taking mobile games as an example, the first-day retention rate of most mobile games is more than 30%. This means that six or seven percent of players will abandon the pit within 24 hours of entering a mobile game!

As for the 7-day retention rate, many mobile games don't even have 10%.

Obviously, with the abandonment of a group of players, these flesh bodies, which cost a lot of resources to build and were "pinched faces" by players, are all wasted.

Imagine a company that spends a lot of money on custom-made equipment for each new employee, but 90% of employees quit their jobs in their first week on the job. Privately customized equipment is also scrapped directly.

Is it possible for such a company not to lose money?

Impossible!

While fantasizing about the beautiful scenario of losing all his old capital, Sifer continues to list the new unique advantages of the "Summoning Player Project" in the documentation.

The second advantage is that players are not very productive!

As the Grand Duke of the Devil and the lord of the war wilderness, the decree has to be reviewed by the Book of Lords, and it is impossible to really instruct the mercenaries to fish.

But what characteristics of the player, Sifer is clear!

Although there is indeed a Liver Emperor, what age is it now, and casual players are the mainstream of players.

The rise of MOBAs and mobile games, as well as the decline of traditional online game MMOs, are signs of the increasingly fragmented game time of mainstream players.

Players are here to play the game, not to play "Leek Simulator" and "Black Slave Simulator".

On the surface, there are many people who are "addicted to games", but most of that is caused by double standards.

If a person spends 3 hours a day playing the same game, he or she may be said to be "addicted to games", but if a person spends only 3 hours a day studying or working, he or she will rarely be said to be "addicted to studying" or "addicted to work".

Most of the parents who accuse their children of "if you study as seriously as playing games" don't know how bad their children are in games!

Fresh from 3 minutes of hard work on how to make a game, Siffel knew that getting players to fall in love with a game would require well-designed level and numerical planning, a flow-friendly difficulty curve, sustained high-frequency positive feedback with just the right benefits, and a challenge that is temporarily unattainable but hopeful.

It's just that after Sisyphus finishes pushing stones, [XP +1] pops up on his head, but Sisyphus can't push stones up the mountain for a long time and willingly.

But the wonderful thing is that the design of this piece is completely unknown to Sifer. Is it possible for him to make a game as a layman and addictive and soak in the game all day?

Impossible!

As the Devil's Grand Duke, Siefel can reasonably give soul energy to mercenaries as a "salary". And the player, isn't he the pillar of the pillar he is looking for, taking more money and working less, and muttering about welfare every day?

The third and most important advantage is that players are loyal, lawless, undisciplined, and lawless!

His identity is sensitive and he can't instruct the player to be the opposite. However, if the player himself is disobedient, it is convenient to explain to the Book of Lords.

Players, scolding the official planner, that's commonplace. Humanoid natural disasters, geese plucked feathers, and no armor was left everywhere they went.

When does it take a whim, demolish the main city, beat up a few devil "NPCs", and make yourself lose a little more!

Thinking of this, the Devil's Grand Duke Seefer felt that the project had a great future!

Just do it, do it now!

The Goddess of Radiance once told Siphael not to mention to others what material world she had originated from in her previous life.

So when it comes to summoning Blue Star players, Siefel doesn't plan to rely on the help of others, but to make it up himself.

He opened the bronze cover of the Book of Lords, applied for a budget, and mobilized the soul energy of the war wilderness. He connected to the cyberspace of Blue Star and began to design the game framework to prepare for the arrival of players.

"The name of the game is 'Dawn'."

"The first is the hierarchy and the transcendent system. In the Book of Lords, there are several transcendent systems recorded in itself, which basically come from the material world that has been invaded by the Nine Prisons. ”

"Sequence? Mecha? Domineering? Beasts? Abilities? Cards? Qimen? Personality? ”

Sifer worries that the general transcendent system, the Blue Star people who have not been exposed to transcendent powers, may have difficulty adapting. So he chose the one that was most beginner-friendly, a transcendent system based on "classes" and "cards".

This system is a bit like a certain stone legend, players can choose the familiar warriors, mages, priests and other professions in traditional RPGs, but the active and passive abilities and props and equipment of all classes are displayed in the form of "cards".

Sifel, who is designing the game's architecture, can't help but think about things.

"Speaking of which, when I was an angel before, did I go to the world of swords and magic with cards as the core? Together with the warriors who wielded the power of the cards, I fought off the legions of the Devil's Grand Duke Mephistopheles. ”

"I don't know how that world is now."

"Anyway, if the soul energy of the territory is exhausted, I will run away with a bucket. After I get rid of the identity of the Devil's Grand Duke, I can go wherever I want, whether it's Blue Star or that world······"

Siefel went on to conceive:

"At present, the upper limit of the level is set at level 59, which is the level of the peak of the mid-level devil. It's about the same as the old Warcraft. ”

"It's not that I don't want to set a higher level cap, it's this card-based transcendent system, and every time you advance from level 60, you need to break through the material, but the Book of Lords doesn't record the material recipe needed."

"Anyway, I won't be able to do it for long, I'm going to run away, and I don't have to think about higher-level things."

"The player's body is only level 1 at the beginning. As much as I'd like to be a bit more defeated, the Book of Lords doesn't allow me to build too strong bodies for this group of mercenaries. ”

"Using a virtual helmet as a medium, the player's consciousness is projected into hell and the body is manipulated. If the body dies, it can be revived at the spawn point, and players who are above level 1 will be deleveled when they die. ”

"Anyway, players can also kill monsters, extract monsters' soul energy, and level up!"

"Soul energy can be directly called experience points in this game. Hehe, I can also design some quests to give players experience points as a reward. ”

"Well, there are all kinds of rare equipment and materials that can be sent to players for some reason. Anyway, the name is to arm and reward his subordinates, and with the intelligence of the Book of Lords, it is not a matter of fooling it. ”

"This wave will be almost defeated in less than three months!"

"The internal test time is set for half a month later! Start the closed beta before the release of Paradise Fruit's virtual reality game Doom Twilight! ”

"Now, let's get a promo video first. In the Book of Lords, there are many scenes of bloody battles, all of which are big scenes of the battle between the Hell Devil Army and the Abyss Demons, which is just right for CG. ”

Normally, making a game requires the joint efforts of planning, art, and programming. These positions can be subdivided into specific positions such as "level planning", "numerical planning", "main beauty", "original painting", "3D art", and "front-end architecture".

But Siefel didn't really develop a game, and most of the work was not needed.

For example, the most expensive modeling and rendering do not need to be considered at all.

After a full day, with the help of the Bronze Book, Siefel built a "large network of interdimensional puzzles" to serve as the game's "server". Its main function is to pull the willing Blue Star soul, project it onto the first layer of the Nine Hells, and prepare a new body for each consciousness projection.

Every time a body is created, it consumes a certain amount of soul energy and a lot of alchemy materials. Although Siphiel wants to be a little more defeated, if the configuration is higher, the Book of Lords will be a warning.
