There are pros and cons to monopolity.

For the first party of the platform, there is no choice for exclusivity, after all, your studio team has been bought by the host, and you still want to go to other platforms to release the game?

For the second party, that is, the studio that accepts the employment or commission of the console platform, signs the agreement, and develops the console game for them, the other party pays for your efforts, and the monopoly should also be.

Tianba Studio is a third party.

The studio was neither acquired nor signed a hire-development agreement, so exclusivity became a matter of "talking about money".

The money is enough, the resources are also very top, and there are various technology-related cooperation, so it's okay to monopolize it.

If there is not enough money, and there is no exchange and cooperation in resources and technology, it is not good to monopolize it.

After all, once it is monopolized, it will lose a large number of players on other platforms, and the loss is still quite large.

Chen Ba was still hesitating.

The huge tough company that has always been generous, perhaps because of Lao Huang, fell in love with Tianba Studio and the game "Divine Grace Continent".

As a result, a representative of the Third Party Group, a third-party service unit, was brought in to discuss exclusivity.

Sincerity is still there.

Once "Grace Continent" chooses to be exclusive to the XBOX platform, they will open up a part of the technology sharing of the XBOX platform, and at the same time give a certain guarantee treaty.

The so-called guarantee means that when the exclusive sales of the game are less than XX million copies, the poor part of the income, the giant hard company is responsible for paying the bill, so that the developer has no worries.

"No, it's too low."

The representative of the giant hard company thinks that the theme of "Divine Grace Continent" is too old and has no playability, and the sales of 500,000 copies are sky-high.

This made Chen Ba unacceptable.

Choose the exclusive host, the result is only that, then it also monopolizes a yarn, and the PC platform alone may be more than this sales.

"Who do you look down on? The sales volume of "Divine Grace Continent" on the whole platform starts at least one million copies, I said this! ”

After driving away the representatives of the giant hard company, Chen Ba said to the people in the studio: "People look down on us, so we have to fight for a good game that sells more than one million copies." ”

Yes, the top game!

Millions of sales are a hurdle, and only when this hurdle is crossed can a game be called a hit. As for the higher sales of 10 million, Chen Ba didn't dare to dream of it at night, after all, it was too outrageous.

To date, Tianba Studio has not had a game that has sold more than one million copies.

"Sending People Under the Fence Simulator" is a bit promising, but unless you break a bone, it will be difficult to break through this hurdle, after all, the players are already saturated.

Don't mention the Starry Sky Emperor.

This thing is destined to be a niche game, and it is impossible to become a hit.

But if you want to say how cool "Star Emperor" is, it won't be enough, the players are very active, and new players are constantly entering the pit, and it won't be cool for a while.

Chen Ba pinned his hopes on the Divine Grace Continent.

The background of the game is Western Fantasy, which means that the Divine Grace Continent will not be as unfriendly to foreign players as the previous games.

This is one of the guarantees of sales!

In addition, the unique development adventure gameplay of "Divine Grace Continent" is also quite interesting among many RPG games, so that no one will play it.

As long as there are no bugs, everything is easy to say.

Thinking of this, Chen Ba suddenly turned his head and asked Yang Dong on the side, "Brother Dong, the NPC generation test should be fine, right?" ”

"No problem!"

Yang Dong smiled: "The NPCs generated by the program all act in an orderly manner according to the preset logic, and there are no vicious bugs." ”

"What about interactions and conversations?"

"There is a small bug in the interaction, clicking too fast will swallow the dialogue, but it has been solved." Yang Dong explained.

"That's fine!"

Chen Ba nodded, and then said: "Since the NPC generation test has passed, let's discuss the favorability system of each NPC in the game." ”

"First of all, the opinion is obtained, and I think the way to get it should also be changed according to the different background identities of each NPC......"

"I'm for it!"

Xiao Lu raised his hand and said: "The design of giving gifts and chatting with good feelings is simply too boring and monotonous." ”

"In that case, ordinary NPCs can be left alone, but NPCs with special status will have more difficulty in obtaining favorability, and they still need to do side quests to improve."

After Chen Ba finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, so he added: "There are five levels of favorability, right?" ”

Cold, neutral, friendly, follower, beloved.

It is not difficult to achieve goodwill, but if you want to improve from goodwill, you need to put some thought into it. The core idea is that the higher the opinion rating, the more difficult it is to improve the favorability.

After an NPC reaches the following level, there is basically one way to increase their opinion: cultivate him, and then take him to farm monsters with him......

This is the basic framework, but Chen Ba feels that it seems that a special design can be added to this basic framework: initial favorability!

The player has the identity of a "brave man".

This identity may have a bonus in the eyes of some NPCs, and even if you haven't deliberately brushed the favorability, the initial favorability may be very high.

"For example, the king and the palace guards, the initial favor is goodwill."

Chen Ba said thoughtfully: "And some civilians in the royal capital, especially ignorant girls, may have reached the level of followers or even beloved at the initial level of the brave. ”

"It makes sense!"

Xiao Lu said with a smile: "That's the legendary brave!" The status is high and the strength is strong, maybe they are handsome, and it is not strange that the little girls are eager to marry the brave. ”

To put it mildly.

The identity of a brave man, hooking up with a few ignorant girls, isn't that a matter of sprinkling water?

Still need to brush up on favorability?

What are you kidding, as long as the brave hooks his fingers, some of the little girls are willing to follow him, and they love to death.

"That's right, but the favorability doesn't just go up and doesn't go down."

Chen Ba thought of the horror of the Fourth Natural Calamity, so he said: "If the favor only rises and does not fall, what if the brave man is obsessed with women and does not fight the demon king?" ”

Brave, cheer up!

Gentle Township is also a hero's mound, you are a man who shoulders the responsibility of saving the world, how can you be dragged down by the love of your children?

In order to prevent some players from sinking into the gentle country and not knowing the horror of the Demon King, Chen Ba decided to add a "disappointment value" hidden system to the favorability system.

When a player's actions trigger certain conditions, they will cause the NPC to be disappointed, and their friendship will plummet, and they will leave the Brave.

It's okay to open a harem in the other world, but as a brave man, you have to at least do something serious, right? The king summoned the brave man to save the princess, not to let the brave man harm the people!

The brave who do not do their job will definitely be disliked.

In the final analysis, "Divine Grace Continent" has always been a game of "Brave Demon King", not a "Dragon King Otherworldly Tour".

If you don't push the main line, how embarrassing is the demon king?
