Chen Ba was a little distressed.

At the China Overseas Game Exhibition, the game exposed a lot of shortcomings and problems.

When he returned to Jiangning, he made a list of issues that the studio needed to address before the Early Access version was released.

First of all, the default keybinding!

There is nothing wrong with the adaptation of the controller, although the default keys are a bit abstract, but at least they can be used, so as not to make players spray brain-dead keys.

Mainly a problem with the keyboard and mouse......

In the game "Star Emperor", WASD controls the movement of the character and the mouse controls the perspective, which is a very reasonable key layout.

But the skill keys don't make sense.

ERTY is a commonly used 4 skills, F is to activate the constitution, G is to activate the emperor's soldiers, and H is to activate the secret method.

During the trial stage, some players reported that the three keys of TYG were too difficult to press.

The left hand of a normal gamer is basically placed on the four keys of WASD, and those with a slightly longer index finger can press the T button, but those with a long enough index finger may have to move their left wrist.

There's also the G key, which is hard to reach with your thumb.

Or rather, you can press it! But this posture is not elegant, and it is also very laborious, and the operating logic is strange.

"Isn't it possible to change the keybit?"

Not long after entering the studio, Xiao Jie, who previously worked as a mobile game dog planner at Juhua Network, scratched his head and asked: "If you feel awkward, then change it to your own handy key!" ”

What's the big deal.

Who hasn't experienced the operation of "changing the key" when playing a game? Wouldn't anyone really hold on to the default keys for the rest of their lives?

"You know, some players ...... Anyway, they are either too lazy to change it, or they forgot to change it, or they don't know how to change it......"

Chen Ba spread his hands and said: "This kind of player is very dependent on the default keybinding, if it makes them feel uncomfortable, it is a very bad thing." ”

"It's true, like when I play games, I'm too lazy to change the keys, it's troublesome." Xiao Lu nodded again and again.

"As for those wall-breaking games you play, the left mouse button automatically pathfinds, and the right button automatically attacks and it's over, so why change the key?"

Change the key also points people.

Some people just find it troublesome, such as Xiao Lu, everything you play is the default key.

In order to take care of these people, it is necessary to get a set of default game keys that are more in line with the operation logic and do not require much effort.

"That's it......"

Simulating the operating habits and logic of keyboard and mouse players, Chen Ba analyzed: "The Ctrl key and the Shift key, as well as the number 123 key, seem to be more convenient. ”

The TYG key travel is indeed a bit far.

When fighting, if the battle is particularly fierce and you press the WASD dodge skill, it is difficult to press the TYG buttons.

But it's not completely useless.

Some special skills with a long cooldown time and may be opened at most once in a battle can be bound to these unconventional keys.

For example, extreme sublimation!

This mode is used at most once per game, so tying a Y button is not a big problem.

Anyway, just press it once, and it's not for you to press it all the time, what's wrong? You don't think it's fast enough to deduct blood?

"The Imperial Soldier can tie the G key!"

Yang Dong suggested: "Anyway, the frequency of use is not high, and in our game, the Emperor Soldier and the Supreme Weapon are all BUFF skills. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Ba nodded.

Emperor soldiers, extreme sublimation, this kind of skill, do not need to be used frequently, the key range is farther, it is not elegant.

It can even be said that it is a good thing to have a farther key.

Otherwise, bind an F button to "Extreme Sublimation", what if the player is in a hurry and accidentally presses it at the beginning?

The key position is determined according to the frequency of use.

Taking the protagonist Starry Sky Emperor as an example, his most commonly used physique is the special physique "Starry Sky Body".

The starry sky body has two visions, the yin and the sun, and players need to frequently switch the physical vision to change the battle strategy during the battle.

So this key, Chen Ba decided to tie it to the Shift key, the reason is that the logic of switching Chinese and English input methods is very in line with the logic of the physique switching anomaly.

Other emperors or supremes, but all those who have a special constitution with this kind of switching vision, are also tied to the Shift key to reduce the player's learning and adaptation costs.

QERF and 1234 are commonly used keys.

The focus is on the Ctrl and Alt keys, which require binding one or two special secret techniques.

The secret method is a special mechanical skill in the game that is higher than ordinary skills, not an ultimate, let alone a finishing skill, but a combination skill similar to the nature of LOL's "Ultimate Magic Book".

In a nutshell......

Each Emperor or Supreme has an exclusive set of skill mods, the so-called "Emperor Sutra".

The skills of the Starry Sky Emperor are all derived from the "Starry Sky Sutra", so the skill effects are also star-related.

The so-called secret method refers to stealing teachers!

There are only two squares of secret methods, and they have been used for a long time, and each secret method is a mastery of other emperors or supremes.

In the way of others, give back to others?

This is the saying of martial arts, and according to the statement of the fantasy fairy, this is the practice of "taking the body as a furnace and cultivating a hundred scriptures" and turning ten thousand ways into one's own way.

The secret method is not used very frequently in battle, after all, the CD is not short, but it can occasionally be effective, so Chen Ba bound the Ctrl and Alt keys.

A secret method is not a secret technique!

After excluding special keys such as Secret Method, Imperial Soldier, and Extreme Sublimation, the rest are all commonly used skill keys.

Sounds like a lot......

But in fact, in all seriousness, there are only four or five skills commonly used in the game.

Yes, there are only four or five that are commonly used.

But these four or five skills can be combined with other skills, and can also be used with secret techniques, physique, imperial soldiers, etc.

Commonly known as "combo"!

Although "Star Emperor" is not a serious fighting game, and it is not too much to say that it is a sheep's head selling dog meat, there are still combo mechanics that fighting games should have.

Combos are up to the player to discover on their own.

Because the degree of freedom of combos is extremely high, there are too many combos that can be combined, and there are too many combos that can be rubbed out!

Even Chen Ba himself couldn't say how many combos there were in the six characters in the game.

He hasn't tested it either......

After all, there are too many types of combos, and there are only a separate skill test to make sure there are no bugs, who has nothing to rub all the combos?

Including Emperor Soldiers, Secret Techniques, and Physique Visions, a character has a total of more than a dozen skills, and every two skills can form a set of combos.

Moreover, character A can also extract character B's skills, that is, secret methods, to form new combos......

There are six characters in the game!

If you're not mistaken, there are definitely hundreds or thousands of combos.

With such a huge base, it is decided that Chen Ba cannot test all of them, as long as he tests his individual skills.

There are definitely bugs.

The demo version broke out a bug where the scene texture was wrong during the battle, but it was fixed quickly.

Other than that, it doesn't seem like there's really any vicious bugs.

This is also the reason why Chen Ba has the confidence to release the early access version of "The Emperor of the Stars" in advance.

After all, they've all been tested, and their games are perfect, and there are no bugs or bugs!
