Chapter 120: Why is the Overlord Powerful?
Chen Ba has played a lot of love development games, both otome and male.
"Heartbeat Memories" was the first game of its kind he played, but at the time it was a pirated version, and it was played in a dark Internet café for 0.5 yuan per hour.
"Love and the Producer" is a game that he deliberately went to play after he became interested in the game industry, mainly to experience the gameplay and analyze why the game is popular.
Of course!
Not only these games, but in fact, the more popular and popular games on the market, Chen Ba has more or less played them.
Meat and vegetarian food are not taboo, regardless of the theme.
The game has been played a lot, and he has also discovered that this kind of love development or love simulation game is actually a character design.
To put it mildly......
It's hard to find a perfect boy/girl in the game.
That's why this kind of game has a market, and it will attract so many players to be fascinated, even for the beloved character Krypton.
"When you were there, did you find that those more popular urban romances are actually the main characters?"
Chen Ba said with a smile: "The female character in there is as pure and perfect as the heroine in a fairy tale, and she can be called the white moonlight in the hearts of countless people." ”
"It does feel that way."
Xiao Lu said thoughtfully: "Brother Ba, you mean, it is precisely because it is illusory and unreal that some people are so obsessed with liking?" ”
"So what's not? If in reality, you can meet such perfect girls everywhere, do you think there is still a market for this kind of game? ”
Chen Ba was speechless.
Isn't that an obvious fact?
It is precisely because you can't meet such a girl or boy in reality that some people seek spiritual solace through anime and games.
What you can't get is the most precious!
If there are girls like Shen Youchu everywhere in reality, it will not be so charming if it is too common.
"So the core of the characters in this kind of game is the bubble illusion!"
Real, close to reality?
Chen Ba couldn't help but want to laugh.
If you really design a few love development characters that are close to reality in the game, then what is love? Or do you want to find guilt for yourself?
Buddies play games to decompress and seek spiritual comfort, but it's good to let buddies suffer from blind date and love in reality, and experience it again in the game, right?
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed.
It's really the truth that Brother Ba said, this kind of character really can't rely on the realistic direction, the more unreal the better.
What else would have become?
"Although there is a suspicion of generalization, I don't mean that everyone is like that."
Chen Ba coughed and said: "In reality, it is not that there are no boys or girls who are exactly the same as in the game, with perfect personality and quality, and are also among the best in appearance. ”
But again, it's too rare!
So from this point of view, the fictional characters in the game are not completely devoid of realistic prototypes.
But because the realistic prototype of this kind of character is so rare and rare, 99% of people have never seen it with their own eyes, so it feels unreal and has a sense of unreal bubble.
"Female characters, regardless of their personality, identity and appearance, but one thing is for sure, it is the other half that the boys dream of, the fictional white moonlight."
"The same goes for male characters, although the characters are different, but at least they are the prince charming in the minds of girls......"
Once that's sorted out, the rest will be taken care of.
The male and female characters are randomly generated, and the characters are also varied, but the core is what Chen Ba said: Bai Yueguang and Prince Charming!
"The experience of developing the Divine Grace Continent is exactly what happened to be used in this place. However, this time, the opinion system needs to be redone, and the old ...... can't be used."
Chen Ba couldn't help but sigh.
"Divine Grace Continent" is good, but the favorability system is too rubbish, which leads to frequent problems and a lot of jokes.
As an RPG adventure game, it's okay to have this kind of joke, at least acceptable.
But a love development game, the favorability system makes jokes, and the problem is serious.
"Opinion ......"
While Brother Dong, Xiao Lu and the others were discussing the game framework, Chen Ba closed his eyes and looked at the system page.
[Game Name: Love Staff]
[Planning: 0 (can be promoted)]
[Program: 0 (can be promoted)]
[Art: 0 (can be promoted)]
【…… Overall score: 10]
The game hasn't been officially launched yet, and it's still under discussion, so it's no surprise that the scores are all zero.
But the overall score is actually 10 points, which is very difficult.
"It's definitely a bug ......"
Chen Ba dared to swear to the sky, there is definitely something wrong with the comprehensive score of the system, anyway, it is not serious, whoever believes it is the real Shabi.
It's not a big problem, though.
Although the overall score has one or another problem, at least the branch score is accurate, and with this plug-in, he can clearly know the feedback of every decision.
"Good fellows! This system was made by Cairo company, right? ”
Chen Ba hadn't noticed it before, but now that he takes a closer look, the system interface really looks like a pixel simulation game in Cairo.
It's a pity that the skill attributes of each employee are not displayed, otherwise it would really be a Cairo game.
Ponder for a moment.
Chen Ba suddenly had an idea.
In the game "Love Staff", because it simulates the process of young men and women getting to know each other and falling in love, the favorability cannot be quantified in terms of specific "values".
Another way!
If the value is removed, the opinion will become an unknown X.
Marriage and breakup are two straight lines that are parallel to each other and never intersect, and X is the "curve" sandwiched between the two straight lines, which will rise and fall at any time.
When the curve X rises and touches the straight line of marriage, it means that the strategy is successful. When the curve X goes down and touches the straight line of breakup, it means that the strategy has failed.
There is no fixed value.
The curve will continue to rise and fall as the two get along, and all the player has to do is make key decisions at each key point to make the curve gradually rise until the proposal is successful.
Chen Ba told Yang Dong about this idea and wanted to hear his opinion.
"Don't you have a definite number?"
When Yang Dong first heard this idea, he also thought it was incredible, how can there be a love development game, and there is no clear setting of the favorability value?
But he thought about it carefully and felt that it was very good, there is no value, so as to better simulate the feeling of being in love.
"But with your design, will there be two situations, the first is that the player can easily conquer the favorite character without much effort?"
Yang Dong frowned and said: "There is another possibility that the player has been playing for a long time, and the X-curve has always been stable, and there has been no result in it?" ”
"These two possibilities are not ruled out."
Chen Ba nodded and said, "In the first case, we commonly call a flash marriage!" The second case, which is the very common long-distance love run......"
Both scenarios are reasonable.
Whether it's a flash marriage or a long-distance love run, it's all determined by the choices made by the players, and they have no right or reason to interfere.
Anyway, there is no specific value for favorability, and how to grasp every key opportunity is up to the players to play.
Not really......
Isn't there a kobold military division!
Ask other players, combined with everyone's wisdom, it should not be difficult to find a way to break the game.
"But we're a love development game! If the player gets married in a flash, won't the clearance time exceed the game refund time? ”
Yang Dong was very entangled.
If there is really a child of destiny, or a master of love, it can be done in a few minutes, then what can you play in the future?
"So that's where online mode comes in! If you become yourself, you can also become a kobold military advisor and give advice to others......"
Chen Ba felt that after canceling the favorability value, if someone really cleared the customs quickly, it was indeed his ability, and no one could complain.
Anyway, the game is called "Love Staff", even if the ontology is cleared, you can still give advice to other players, and you don't have to worry about not having to play.
……
This winter, it snowed in Jiangning.
Snow in the north is not surprising, but it is much rarer in the south. Even if it's a thin layer, it's better than nothing!
Chen Ba was wrapped in a down jacket and received a large bag at the high-speed rail station, and specially came to Jiangning to accompany him for the New Year.
"Dad! Why are you carrying so many things? What's in here, it's so heavy......"
"I killed the first 400 catties of pigs this year, and I made some bacon, thinking about bringing you a taste."
Lao Chen also felt sorry for his son.
Although he knows that his son is earning money now, and there is no shortage of food or clothing, bacon should not be able to be bought.
Even if he could buy it, it probably didn't taste as good as the one he made himself. So before leaving, he deliberately brought dozens of catties of bacon and stuffed his suitcase.
The old father's thoughts, Chen Ba was embarrassed to refuse. However, with so much meat, he will definitely not be able to eat it himself, and he plans to go back and give a little to Xiao Lu and the others.
After receiving Lao Chen, the Spring Festival is also approaching.
Chen Ba took the people left behind in the studio to make a whole entertainment video, which should be a New Year's greeting to all players.
The video is interesting.
First, the old scalper of "Cold Window Reading Simulator" ate a fairy fruit in the barren mountains and wilderness, and then flew up on the spot and became a terrifying bull demon.
Then there is the aunt of "Simulator under the Fence", who got an immortal surnamed "Chen" in her sleep to teach the law, and followed the colorful fairy light on the road to becoming an immortal.
Then there is the Starry Sky Emperor, who was in decay in his later years, worried that the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone would be a disaster after he sat down, and decided to fight to become an immortal and look for a chance to live out the second life......
A few people came to Chengxian Road, but they never thought that they would encounter the space-time vortex and open a passage to a strange world.
I thought it was the fairy world, but I never thought that this was the Divine Grace Continent!
The Demon King, who had been alone in the empty boudoir for hundreds of thousands of years, could no longer bear the loneliness and decided to leave with the Starry Sky Emperor and his party......
"They came to the end of the road to becoming immortals, and they thought they could get a glimpse of the secrets of becoming immortals, but they never wanted to be blocked by a stone wall."
"The stone walls are painted with various patterns."
Xiao Lu eyebrows danced and said: "As an aunt from the earth, I recognize at a glance that this is a very hot entertainment on the earth. ”
"After eliminating the designated block, the stone wall also dissipated, and a bronze gate appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and an old man walked out from behind the door."
"The old man told everyone that there is a Tyrant Beast behind the door, the Tyrant is the strongest, and it is the first physique of the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds, and only by defeating this Tyrant Beast can you prevent it from causing disaster to the world......"
"Is the overlord so strong?"
Zhong Shengwei was also a person, and said with a puzzled face: "How do I remember, it seems that this kind of physique is a rookie?" ”
"Those are fake overlords!"
Xiao Lu waved his hand and said, "The horror of the true hegemon body is not something you can imagine, and a breath can destroy the heavens." ”
Anyway, bring the word "ba"!
It's hard to say whether the other physique is strong or not, anyway, here in Tianba Studio, the secret method of physique with the word "Ba" is powerful.
Don't ask, it's shady to ask.
At the end of the video, the overlord year beast is too strong, and everyone is not an opponent. At the critical moment, my aunt stood up, fed the tiger with her body, and reluctantly sealed the overlord.
You thought the video was over?
The overlord year beast snorted coldly and returned to its original form, it turned out that he was actually a bully brother, and he was still holding a red envelope in his hand.
"Scan the QR code and listen to my revenge plan! The immortal medicine god soldier will be sent for free, help me unseal, and there is a grand prize of 10,000 yuan waiting for you! ”
Helping Brother Ba unblock is actually similar to the "slashing" mechanism of Spell Xixi.
Players poured into the event page, and they could see Brother Ba trapped in the lantern, as long as they lit the lantern and helped Brother Ba unblock, they could draw a grand prize of 10,000 yuan.
It's a festive picture!
There are very few red envelopes of 10,000 yuan, and there are only ten in total. But there are still a lot of 1,000-yuan red envelopes, 100-yuan red envelopes and 10-yuan red envelopes, and you can get a lot of money if you are lucky.
Chen Ba prepared a prize pool of nearly 1 million for this event, of which 500,000 is a cash reward, and the remaining 500,000 is a variety of physical and virtual prizes.
For example, graphics cards, motherboards, memory modules, figures, dolls, "Star Emperor" source stone gift pack, "Divine Grace Continent" professional version Cdkey, "Junk Match" redemption code, etc.
"It's so atmospheric?"
Players were also surprised, and on forums and social platforms, they praised Brother Ba's generosity.
It's really atmospheric!
Tianba Studio itself is not large, and it is not comparable to big factories such as pigs and geese, but Brother Ba knows how to send red envelopes to players during the New Year, and the big factories make so much money but don't send them?
There is no harm without contrast.
Compared with Tianba Studio, other game companies are going to die, and they don't know how to give back to old players during the Chinese New Year, which is really chilling.
"That's how word of mouth comes from......"
Chen Ba said with a smile: "These hundreds of thousands of dollars are used for advertising, do you think it can have such a good effect?" ”
"Nope."
Yang Dong shook his head.
When I heard Brother Ba say that he would send hundreds of thousands of red envelopes to players in the New Year, he was still a little distressed, and felt that it was unnecessary to spend money indiscriminately.
But now that I look at it, I can reap such a good effect with just a few hundred thousand, and it's definitely worth it!
This is a bit like the son of the richest man who won the championship and threw millions on Weibo. In terms of advertising effect and influence, it is definitely much stronger than simply advertising.
Let's not talk about anything else, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a hot search on the whole network doesn't seem to be a loss, after all, the sales of old games have risen......
