Xiao Lu's idea is very bold.

Although this kind of scumbag behavior of forgetting old love when he has a new love is not worth advocating, Chen Ba did not deny it.

Plainly.

The game mechanics are designed so that players are free to play how they play, and even if it doesn't match the original design, it shouldn't be easily denied.

Trying to teach players to play the game?

Pull it down! Any game designer who has this kind of thinking is basically scolded by players.

For example, League of Legends designers!

Whether the brave is a scumbag or a good person, these are the choices made by players, and as a game developer, Chen Ba will not express his opinion.

He only cares about the game itself.

"Divine Grace Continent" this time, it was not made with the Dream Tsukumi 5 engine, and it was not mainly used.

In response to this news, many players who have played "Star Emperor" have expressed their disappointment, and they also thought that Tianba Studio would develop a new game with exquisite graphics and gorgeous special effects.

Who knows, the new game is not about the graphics......

"Want to eat fart?"

Facing a group of disappointed "Star Emperor" players, Chen Ba was speechless and said: "The game screen of Star Emperor will not be outdated for at least five years, why release a sequel?" ”

The digital hardware update iteration is quite fast, but no matter how fast it is, it can't match Lao Huang's knife technique and squeezing toothpaste.

If nothing else.

The game "Star Emperor", at least in the next three years, will not be able to lift the risk warning of "Becoming an Immortal Road". Most gamers' hardware is still difficult to support high intensity and extreme sublimation.

In this case, there is no need for Tianba Studio to make any second-generation sequels and develop games with more exquisite graphics and more gorgeous special effects.

After all, at this time, most gamers still use graphics cards like 1060.

A starry sky emperor will make everyone unbearable, if there is another starry sky emperor ProPlus version, how many players can meet the recommended configuration?

This is also the reason why Chen Ba resolutely developed 2D turn-based games such as "Divine Grace Continent" after the release of "Star Emperor", regardless of the game screen.

He wants sales!

Without excellent game sales, a team like Tianba Studios may break the capital chain one day and suddenly announce its disbandment.

That's the frustration of a small team.

Why does everyone want to go to Dachang?

In addition to high wages and good benefits, the most important thing for large factories is that they have strong ability to resist risks, have a stable job, and as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they won't suddenly lose their jobs.

There are also a lot of people in Tianba Studio, counting the "Xianyu Digital" customer service and packaging and delivery specialist next door, there are a full sixteen people.

Every month, salaries and bonuses alone cost two or three hundred thousand, not counting miscellaneous expenses such as rent, utilities, office supplies, and the Internet. If you count it all, at least 400,000 is enough.

With this money, you can buy a three-bedroom house in Chen Ba's hometown and small county.

"Spending money is like running water!"

After sighing, Chen Ba suddenly remembered the previously released "Simulator Under the Fence" decoration DLC, so he asked, "How many copies of the DLC have been sold?" ”

"Close to 100,000 copies!"

Yang Dong, who was pondering the value of the game in front of the computer, raised his head when he heard the words and said: "The sales are quite hot, on average, one out of seven players has bought DLC, which is a very good ratio." ”

Not bad indeed!

Hearing this, Chen Ba couldn't help but nodded.

The 7:1 DLC sales figure is not low when you look at the entire game industry. You know, many game bodies have sold tens of millions of copies, and DLC has only sold more than 100,000 copies.

Not the best, of course.

The best DLC sales data is said to be infinitely close to 1:1, that is, the vast majority of players who buy the base game basically buy a DLC.

That's outrageous!

Not to mention 1:1, even if it's 2:1 or 3:1, that's amazing. If the ontology can have 1 million sales, and a few more DLCs, the money earned is not less than the ontology.

I heard that some people are said to ......

For games like Euro Truck Simulator, the cumulative sales of DLC can even be several times higher than that of the main game. After all, if you don't buy DLC, it's really not fun to just play the main body.

The sales volume of the decoration DLC was close to 100,000 copies, and the sales data of 7:1 made Chen Ba a little moved.

Old games are not considered for the time being.

As a new game from Tianba Studio, can "Grace Continent" be made a "companion DLC", which will be released with the official version at that time?

"Yes!"

Yang Dong agreed: "Many games will launch one or two companion DLCs when they are released, and we can also make one. ”

"But what should the companion DLC do?"

The companion DLC is not to be surprising.

After the release of a popular game, there are basically one or two accompanying DLCs launched. For example, when the famous Forza Horizon 5 was released, there was a companion DLC with special vehicles.

Brother Ba wants to make a companion DLC for "Divine Grace Continent", which is a very normal idea.

But what this companion DLC should do was stumped for the two.

After all, it's a companion DLC, and the content must have a little bit of character and attractiveness, and you can't just add a few skins to make do with it like ordinary DLC.

"Let's just make a bunch of new NPCs!"

Chen Ba thought about it, elves, dwarves, and orcs alone might not be able to satisfy the appetite of the brave, so he simply stuffed a few special NPCs like dragons, slimes, undead, and goblins into the companion DLC.

This will enrich the brave harem group, and it will also have a certain attraction to entice players to buy the DLC.

"Are you sure?"

The corners of Yang Dong's mouth twitched: "Forget about the dragon, the undead, slimes and goblins look so strange, who would buy them as wives to raise?" ”

"You're right, there are really few players with this special fetish, and most players should be more fond of human characters."

Chen Ba did not deny this, but he said: "But there is a good saying, as long as the strength is high enough, no matter how ugly you are, you can be a wife." ”

What undead and slimes, ugly is ugly, but people have a kind of "numerical beauty"!

What's more, there are really not as few players who like to hunt for curiosity as Yang Dong thought.

Who can refuse a skeleton soldier's wife? Who can refuse to have a slime and goblin as a pet?

Ok, good, good!

Even if none of this is interested, what about the dragons? Raising a handsome and strong dragon, no one should object, right?

"Okay......"

Brother Ba said so, and Yang Dong had no reason to object.

And he thought about it carefully and found that what Chen Ba said was very reasonable. There are still quite a few players interested in special NPCs like this.

The main thing is curiosity!

Most of the NPCs in the base game are humans, and even special races such as orcs, elves, and dwarves look similar to humans.

I'm tired of seeing normal humans, and it's pretty good to have a few weird-shaped NPCs, to be honest......

The strength value is secondary.

The main picture is a sense of freshness, you can't be a wife, so you can keep it as a pet!
