Chapter 103: Cool DLC
After four days, the Grace Editor and Grace Workshop are finally online!
The first batch of game mods is a "demo sample" made by Tianba Studios itself, and the content is very simple, and not many people download it.
But immediately afterwards, the game mods made by the players themselves have interesting and wonderful content, and the number of downloads is also very high.
There's a "lightsaber" mod!
After adding this mod to the game, the "long sword" weapon in the game will become the same lightsaber in Star Wars, and the light effect will be different depending on the level of the weapon.
Not to mention, it's pretty cool......
In addition to this lightsaber mod, there is also a "Monster Attack" mod, which replaces the monster in the game with the monster image in the tokusatsu drama.
This is also very fun.,It's just the same nature as the lightsaber mod.,It's a fan.,It's not an original.。
The first one has commercial value, and it is an original and non-infringing game MOD, from an avid fan of cultivating immortals.
He gave the equipment, props, and maps in the game a new name for the fairy, replaced some props and equipment pictures, and changed the gold coins to spirit stones.
This mod is valuable, but unfortunately, it is not perfect......
If this MOD can replace scene textures and animation effects, combined with Tianba Studio's "personalized customization" service, there will definitely be animation companies interested in making a Xiuzhen Xianxia animation.
The advent of the Grace Workshop has greatly increased the playability and fun of the game.
And most importantly......
It's even more enjoyable to watch the anime!
Although tens of thousands of toilet paper anime in different worlds are cool to watch, with the same theme and the same story background, I always feel tired and lack a certain freshness after watching too much.
With the blessing of a variety of game mods, the toilet paper anime in another world, which was originally tired of watching, suddenly became interesting.
Take Jayne's Adventures, for example.
Originally, the animation had aired so many episodes, and the audience had lost the freshness at the beginning.
But when everyone saw in the latest episode of the anime, Jayne actually changed to the "industrial" route, invented the "steam engine" and "train" and presented them to the king, and his expression instantly stopped.
Ok, good, good!
Can you still play like this with mods?
Qian Xin is not the first person who thought of integrating game mods into the animation of Divine Grace.
As early as the launch of the Grace Workshop, after a large number of interesting game mods appeared, some people realized this and used the strange game MOD to add a touch of novelty to the originally boring Grace animation.
The brave are in another world, why can't they use vending machines? Why can't I use a mobile phone or computer? Why can't you drive an excavator?
Many things that were previously unimaginable and impossible have become a reality overnight with the birth of a large number of game mods.
This leads directly to ......
Originally, the popularity was about to dissipate, because the Western fantasy world was broken, and the audience was no longer interested in watching the divine grace animation, which became popular again.
You're all about the Grace anime!
In the past, the charismatic animations were generally more serious and serious, and there was no charismatic animation with the funny style of sand sculptures.
Now there's it!
The addition of the game MOD has made the charismatic animation, which has already shown its decline, once again become the audience's favorite. And this time, the subject matter is not limited to the Western Fantasy World.
At first, the game mod was just a small fight, and the background frame was still a Western fantasy world, which didn't change much......
But since some professional mod teams entered the scene and changed all the game backgrounds and scene textures, the Western Fantasy World has completely become a thing of the past.
Fantasy Fairy,Japanese comic city,Cyberpunk,School idol......
All kinds of bizarre game mods, for those who like to watch "Divine Grace Continent", it's not too happy.
But then again......
The current game mod, because it has just opened permissions, has not yet given birth to particularly good works, and there are no commercial cases.
Time is still too short!
Maybe after a while, after everyone has made sufficient preparations, there may be a game MOD that is eye-catching, attracting many animation companies to compete and has great commercial development value.
"Brother Ba, the Divine Grace Workshop is so easy to use, so do we still need to make DLC?"
Xiao Lu hesitated a little and said, "I feel that what DLC can do, game mods can also do?" So who's going to buy DLC? ”
"MODs can't be NPCs."
"In the future, the DLC will focus more on NPCs."
Chen Ba patiently explained: "For example, we can do a few NPCs in the background of modern cities, and we can also do a few NPCs in the background of Xianxia......"
NPC is the core of "Grace Continent", and no matter how much players toss the mod, they can't make an NPC that lives in a modern city and accidentally travels to the Grace Continent.
The first DLC is special NPCs such as the Undead, Slimes, and Dragons.
Then why can't the second DLC be a Taoist priest, monk or nun from the mysterious East?
As long as the NPC spawner is in hand, the DLC can be released casually, and there is no worry that no one will buy it, after all, these special NPCs are only available in DLC, and you can't find them anywhere else.
"I see."
Xiao Lu nodded, and then asked, "What about the new DLC of "Simulator Under the Fence"?" ”
After the release of the last decoration DLC, it has received praise from countless players, and the DLC sales are also okay.
As a result, Tianba Studio, which originally did not plan to continue to do DLC, promised players that it would launch a new DLC for "Simulator Under the Fence" by the end of this year.
It's almost the end of the year.
Xiao Lu felt that Brother Ba had probably forgotten about this matter, and he needed to remind him, otherwise Brother Ba would have to be scolded by the player again.
"...... under the fence"
Chen Ba, who hadn't cared about this game for a long time, frowned and said, "Did I say this?" How come I don't remember? ”
It seems that there is such a thing.
If memory serves, it should have been shortly after the release of the Renovation DLC, and the development of Grace Continent had just begun.
At that time, the decoration DLC was a big hit, and the studio earned a lot of rice, and when he was happy, it was reasonable for him to say this kind of.
"You did say ......"
Xiao Lu said helplessly: "And it was said in the community forum, and the post is still there, so I can't deny it." ”
If it's a casual statement, that's fine. After all, it's not the first time that Brother Ba has talked nonsense, and without evidence, he can't help it if he insists on playing Laipi.
But this is what he said with a permission account with GameBugs, and posted in the Tianba community, there are screenshots and witnesses, so many people are watching, and it doesn't affect well if you talk doesn't count.
"Okay then."
Since it was what he said, and it was screenshotted to retain the evidence, Chen Ba was embarrassed to deny it.
Isn't it just a DLC, can this be difficult to defeat him?
Joke!
He just needs to turn on his smart little brain, and if he thinks about it a little, the DLC is not a problem at all.
It only took half an hour for Chen Ba to think of a good DLC plan.
"What's the plan?"
As soon as they heard that Brother Ba had an idea, the others gathered around and looked at Brother Ba with curiosity.
The issue of the new DLC for "Simulator Under the Fence" has already been discussed once within the studio, but nothing has come out of it.
They wanted to know, what does Brother Ba think about this? It can't be a so-called college DLC, or a marriage DLC, right?
"Not these ......"
After waving his hand and signaling everyone not to guess, Chen Ba said: "I want to ask you a question, please be sure to answer me seriously." ”
"What's the problem?"
"What do you usually do when you buy a house and renovate it?"
"Ah......h
Everyone didn't seem to expect that Brother Ba would ask such a strange and tricky question.
Does this have anything to do with the topic they discussed, which is the new DLC for Simulator Under the Fence?
"There is a relationship, and a lot of connection! You don't have to think about that, just tell me what you're going to do in this situation. ”
"This situation ......"
Zhong Shengwei, who returned from illness, was the first to speak: "I should invite relatives and friends to come over for a gathering, which can be regarded as recognizing the way, lest they not find the address of their new home, right?" ”
"Makes sense!"
"The house in Brother Ba's hometown has been built, and it has been officially moved in after the renovation not long ago, didn't my uncle still hold a banquet?"
"In the countryside, you have to hold a banquet and invite your neighbors, relatives and friends, after all, the completion of a new house is also a big event......
Around this topic, everyone talked about it.
As expected, after Zhong Shengwei's beginning, everyone generally believes that after buying a house and renovating it, they should invite relatives and friends to come over for a gathering, or it can be in the form of a banquet.
The completion of the new house and the housewarming of the new house are a major life event, and it is impossible not to celebrate it.
And like people in the city, after moving to a new community, if you don't tell your relatives and friends, how will people know where you have moved?
If you keep a low profile, or you have fewer friends and relatives, you may open a fire at home, book two tables in a restaurant, and just entertain casually.
If you want to be high-profile, in rural areas or with more relatives and friends, then you really have to organize a banquet and celebrate lively.
"That's right."
Chen Ba nodded and said, "You should all know that I built a self-built house for my father in my hometown, and the renovation was completed not long ago. ”
"My dad thinks this is a big deal, and he should show off it with relatives, friends, and people in the village, so he set up a banquet and received more than 40,000 yuan in gifts......"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Brother Ba said about this, and they all saluted at the time, which is indeed the case.
"So here's the problem!"
After talking about his own business, Chen Ba changed his words and said: "In reality, after buying a house and renovating it, you will officially move in, and you will organize a banquet to invite relatives and friends to get together, but what about in the game?" ”
Everyone: "......"
Good! is worthy of being a bully!
This idea is really unheard of, and it is a precedent in the game industry, and it belongs to spreading Chinese characteristic culture to the world.
"My thoughts are ......"
Seeing that everyone was shocked and didn't say a word, Chen Ba reluctantly added: "We can make a DLC, the main content is to hold a banquet." ”
"After purchasing the DLC, players can choose to organize a banquet every time they buy a house and renovate it."
"There is a cost to the banquet, and the relatives and friends who come to the banquet are from the NPCs that the player knows in the game, as well as the relatives in the backstory."
"Players are popular and have a lot of friends in the game, so after holding a banquet, the gift money received may be enough to make up the down payment for the next house."
"If you have poor popularity, you may lose money if you hold a banquet!"
How can you lose?
Xiao Lu scratched his head and asked, "Why do you lose?" There are few guests, so let's have fewer tables......"
"Is there a possibility, not only that there are fewer people coming, but also less gifts? Give you a dollar, eat you a table, do you think it's worth it? ”
Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "And this kind of thing is like receiving gifts, and you have to pay attention to a courtesy." You hold a banquet and receive gifts from others, and when you go back to hold a banquet, do you follow the gifts? ”
In his vision.
In addition to the DLC, players can also organize banquets from time to time with NPCs they get acquainted with, and the "Gifts" page will appear.
It can be done with or without it.
If you give a gift, you can set the amount yourself, and you will send less if you pick the door, and you will send more if you are generous, all of which is voluntary.
Anyway, the next time the player buys a new house to hold a banquet, whether the NPC comes to the banquet or not depends on how the interpersonal relationship is usually handled.
"Good...... It's so distinctive! ”
Yang Dong said speechlessly: "With such a gameplay mechanism with Chinese characteristics, are you sure you want to make it a DLC?" ”
"What, what's the problem?"
"No problem!"
Yang Dong sighed and said, "I'm just wondering, if a foreigner player buys this DLC, will it feel ......?"
"It's called cultural export!"
Chen Ba pouted and said, "Isn't it good to let foreigners also come to feel our human feelings?" ”
Well, that's great!
Brother Ba said that cultural export, that is, cultural export, he said so, although others think it is inappropriate, but they can't find a reason to refute it.
"Then it's decided."
"In my hometown, the banquet usually starts at 20 yuan, considering that everyone is not very familiar with me, then charge 10 yuan......
After Chen Ba finished speaking, he was about to ask everyone what they thought of this pricing, but he didn't expect everyone to look at him with the eyes of "aliens".
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Ba, people can't ......"
Xiao Lu hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to say the second half of the words.
He actually wanted to ask, what does the DLC pricing have to do with the standard of gifts in his hometown? But after thinking about it, the self-built house of Brother Ba's family had just been completed, and Uncle Ba had also held a banquet......
Seems to make sense.
No wonder Brother Ba wants to engage in banquet DLC, no wonder it will be priced according to the standard of hometown gifts, it turns out that it is a clever name to collect gift money from players!
Eat cyber banquets, with real money, right?
Regardless of whether Brother Ba has ill intentions or not, and whether players will be cranky or not, at least the DLC plan is there, and the pricing has been determined.
The next thing to do is to fill the DLC with content around the banquet......
For example, how many dishes are there at a table?
If it's 18 dishes, how many meat and how many vegetables? How much does a table cost? If an NPC is a gift, how much will it cost?
One more point......
In the background of the game "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator", the player stays at his aunt's house.
Will my aunt and uncle come to the feast? If you come, do you want to give a gift, and how much is the right gift?
If the readership is interested, then I will build one......
